Too much technology

I just can't get my mind around all this stuff. Face Book, Twitter, and my blog. My mind is just about 'sploding.

Grocery store follies

All I wanted was a pizza crust, with which to make me a vegan pizza. Tragically, I could not find any, and so made a faux-za out of a long baguette. Anyway, but for real. WHERE does the grocery store stock pre-made pizza crusts?

This is like when I went into three, count 'em THREE Starbucks coffee places and not one of them had coffee. They're like "oh, we need to find the civet cat and sift through its shit to get some coffee beans for the making of your beverage. The MacDonalds across the street wasn't so pretentious...with their stale, syrupy coffee flavored beverage which, if nothing else, was ready to be poured.

Good Golly.
So the school is in an uproar. Seems that the payroll folks experienced major mental flatulence and forgot to pay us. It appears that sending out United Way pledge drive emails short circuited their short term memory cells and now we're getting paid seven days late. Way to go guys!

Quack.

There's this truck driver that I like.

Worst. Mother. Ever.

I am very behind in reading the newspaper (about ten days behind), so I just read today an article about the two boys who died in a house fire. They were living with their mother, who was already under investigation from CPS for failing multiple drug tests, neglecting her children, and for allowing a boyfriend to sexually abuse one of the children. The house that burned was, according to the Houston Chronicle “well-known” to the Houston Police Department. “This year alone, there have been nine calls to HPD for everything from domestic disturbance to guns being fired to assault.” This being the tenth month, that averages to about one call per month. Oh, and did I include that all characters in this drama, including Prashawna White (the mother), Pamela Bell (the grandmother), Bell’s boyfriend, and White’s multiple boyfriends, are convicted drug dealers?

What can be said about Child Protective Services? One could argue that this is one of those cases where everything that can go wrong actually does go wrong and results in a tragedy. Every mistake was 100% avoidable, but someone along the way dropped the proverbial ball and never recovered from the fumble. Really, though, it’s a case of people not following through on their duties as public servants. The CPS case workers cannot play the “overworked” card because the history of neglect and abuse coupled with the mother’s history of drug abuse, plus the fact of the children’s home being a known crack house should have tipped off even the most overworked and underpaid caseworker that something was amiss in the White home.

Incidentally, this 2009 winner of Worst Mother of the Year Award was working at a day care center at the time of the fire. Did I mention she was under CPS investigation for neglecting her children and that she was a drug addict? According to the newspaper, Keywood Kiddie Corner is “reviewing its hiring practices as a result of the fire.” I sure hope so!

On a side note, the children were named Bri'Vion, Javunte, and Briaiona. Excuse me now while I go throw up.

Ants are eating my brain, WHAT?

I went to a bachelorette party because I'm just one of the girls like that. So, Katie was telling me about this co-worker of hers...it seems his sister, whose legs fell off a few years back, woke up covered in ant bites. The ants were, from best we can gather, eating her flesh during the night. She subsequentally went insane because as it was discovered, the amount of venom was so great, it actually poisoned her brain. Did I make this up? NO! For real!

Bears

So as you know, I'm single again. I'm feeling a bit down about this and looking for a nice leather daddy to take me on. Tonight while out to dinner with Evn, I found myself seated near a table of grizzlies. Now, two of the three looked like extras in a late 90's porn, but they were okay. But the third grizzly, oh my. I wanted to splay myself on the table right then and there. But I digress....so, as they got up to leave, Evn grabbed Big Sexy Grizzly and said, "My friend thinks you're hot." Oh my, I turned red and then Big Sexy Grizzly held his hand out and said, "I'm Dave" and all I could do was mumble something and stare at the floor. Oh my, is it really all that bad for me to want to put his penis in my mouth?
