show me the power child I’d like to say that I’m down on my knees today
I got my flower I got my power. I got a woman who knows!
I said it’s alright you know it’s alright. I guess it’s all in my heart!
You’ll be my only my one and only. Is that the way it should start?
You are my flower you are my power. You are my woman who knows!
Tom Ford
Reading a fellow WP blogger’s site, Tom Ford was mentioned. I’m sure I know about the same about him as most people, he’s a famous fashion designer, and I also know many male celebs love wearing (or, at the very least love boasting Tom Ford when asked by the fashion mavens, who are you wearing? at all the Hollywood glam events). In any event, what I read made me more curious, and began searching/shopping Tom Ford … the very first item I came across was this …
… and here’s the link w/ pertinent ($$$$$) details! Tom Ford $$$$$
Awesome oyster, lol! Unfortunately for the real world life of most, tis … a mortgage downpayment, a sub-compact car, credit card bills paid, house renovations project completed, tidy college fund sum put away, a few incredible vacations, rainy day money when it pours, that some A-Hole w/ serious (silly?) coin slapped onto his fucking feet!!
Oh my, life is grand … life is gluttonous!!
I’ve been walking Central Park singing after dark people think I’m craaazzzy
I’ve been hanging on the phone I’ve been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you
New Year’s Eve … Omelette??
YEP!! My night. My festivities. What? Don’t like my eggcelent-celebration? Crack you, lol!!
chuffed w/ my chucks!
… chuffed as fuck! I cannot begin to tell you how pleased I am. Can’t believe these two deals I got from john varvatos either, it’s as if he’s giving them away (+ free shipping too folks)! Saw my postman stopping his truck, and approaching from my kitchen window to deliver these bad boys, couldn’t contain my giddiness … ran out to greet him. I love my other pair, this one WAY more. It’s a true-fit 10 1/2 … my perfect Con All Star size. Love the black, distressed resin, and the gold eyelets … fucking awesome!
Pick it up, pick it all up. And start again.
You’ve got a second chance, you could go home.
Escape it all. It’s just irrelevant.
You’ve got a warm heart, you’ve got a beautiful brain.
You could still be, what you want to.
What you said you were, when I met you.
When you met me. When I met you.
get it while you can
don’t you know when you’re loving anybody baby
you’re taking a gamble on a little sorrow
but then who cares baby
’cause we may not be here tomorrow no
and if anybody should come along
she gonna give you her love and affection
I’d say get it while you can yeah
hey hey get it while you can
hey hey get it while you can
we are family
This post is of recent thoughts and ramblings, a few pics from last night as well. Strap yourselves in, hold on tight!!
Tomorrow marks one month my life changed. I have never professed to believe in God, but I always knew someone was/is watching over me. I know many of these occurrences where I feel being helped in my life can easily be dismissed as pure dumb luck, etc.. Fair enough. This sensation of having my own Angel has been with me for a long time, pushing 30 years – where things happen that help me, that I don’t believe are random or is any reasonable explanation for. I won’t fully expound on this latest one, getting into specifics, I have trouble identifying with the masses, conventional thinkers. I get frustrated with wading pools, I’m the Marianas Trench. That’s the truth folks, not arrogance. If I told you about my latest, most definitive proof my Angel exists, sure all I’d get would be “that’s cool”, “wow, weird” at best. That would frustrate the fuck outta me, so I’ll be mum, keeping everything close to my vest. Better this way, trust me … y’all swim near the surface, I’ll keep deep! Since this whole thing happened, since we met, the way we met, the circumstances surrounding it … every detail, I examine the minutiae, every nuance, every possibility, how, and why?! There is NO OTHER explanation … I have an Angel! Btw, technically was the 11th, but really the 12th. What a day … white wine, beer, and Chinese food! Six and a half hours never disappeared so quickly!
Four days later. Again!
Hells motherfucking yes!! More wine, more beer. No Chinese food, not for lack of trying. It was a Tuesday night, and all closed up shop. Our next time together was last night. My Christmas. I’ve spent 20+ years celebrating Christmas on the 24th, I’ll be damned, I did it again! And, we did Chinese again, lol!
LOVE THIS!! You waltz in, hook up your phone, your playlist like you own the place, AND crank it. No volume police here!
Flowers, food, drinks, good times … and dog, lol!
I met you a dozen days ago. You are my friend, last night, I went further and designated us family. Why not? Being fully aware of the pitfalls, the precariousness, the tenuousness of the word supposedly exemplifying union, togetherness, forgiveness?! It’s all a crock of shit, trust me. Don’t believe that crap, fall into that trap for a second y’all! However long this thing we have lasts, you are my family. I have proof too. My recently arrived in the mail Air Miles membership provided me with a supplementary card to give to a family member, obviously encouraging more shopping, more points. Points be damned, I couldn’t have been happier giving it to you knowing I’m in your wallet, always close by. From now to then, whenever then is … WE ARE FAMILY!!
My Family!
(wearing her xmas gifts. gloves, panties, and Angel)
you’re gonna be the one that saves me
I don’t believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
I said maybe
you’re gonna be the one that saves me
you’re gonna be the one that saves me
you’re gonna be the one that saves me
you’re gonna be the one that saves me
you’re gonna be the one that saves me
you’re gonna be the one that saves me
My 1500th post on WordPress!!
… just thought I’d throw that milestone out there. Today’s post is really about my great day. Went early to Yorkdale – I love it now that I live minutes away. Parking lot was already packed before 10 in the morning, but this attractive older couple was leaving, and lovely lady kept pointing me towards her car. Kept smiling too … knew it was ZEN BABY, people are so positive towards it! Oh, before I continue with my shopping tales, when I left for home, I stopped at Shell for some V-Power (and 10X AirMiles). I swerved around, positioning my car in front of this absolutely gorgeous Mercedes SLS AMG (the one with the gull wing doors) …
… yeah, I know SICK!! Anyway, I jumped out and blurted out to the owner, a good-looking guy about my age as he was getting ready to leave … “kinda liked my ride?” … meaning/referring/joking that I like my car. Without missing a beat, he assertively, along with complete honesty, snaps back offering affirmation, “I like your ride” … “better than this one”. thanks dude, ZEN BABY, lol!!
Back to shopping! I went to purchase a specific item, to kinda compensate for my Banana lacking gift. I was told, this is something good. I’ve never shopped for this before, but listen to this … as I was leaving my hairdresser’s place yesterday, he showed me this very gift that a client gave as an X-mas present, lol. Weird, I woulda said before. Not so weird anymore, I say now! Oh, I also went to buy myself a coffee maker, as I no longer have one, but due to the fact that I’m not in possession of my rewards card, I knew I’d be fucked and wouldn’t be able to access MY MONEY, I quit before I devoted fruitless time, frustrating myself. I already feel fucked as it is – $160 (half of which is mine) is being controlled/manipulated, and I don’t have easy/immediate access to it. Nice! Whatevs, after this, it’s finally fucking done!
Next up, was fragrances! Funny, when I was walking out of the store into the mall, I asked a Chanel girl in the women’s department, where the men’s department was. She said, “Chanel, or in general”? In general I answered. When I got there (ok, first of all, the fucking area is gorgeous), the gentleman who helped me, who didn’t work for any particular brand, immediately steered me towards Chanel. I was sold. Listen to this, the 50 ml costs $82.50, the 100ml $107 … BUT, if you spend over $100, you get $20 off. Duh, picked up the 100ml for $87! Oh, apparently the cologne is brand new too, and when I asked for samples of any kind for men, he didn’t think he had any. But then, he came back w/ a 10ml bottle … that ain’t no fucking sample, that’s a fucking bottle, lol! I love it!! Then, I asked for samples for women, he obliged! Oh, when home, was kicking myself for not doing this earlier … went online and ordered another pair of sale priced Chuck’s from JV … I was lucky too, international free shipping that ended yesterday, didn’t. Lucky my size was still available. ZEN BABY!!
you have no idea who you’re dealing with!
been one of those days folks. then, to top it off – coming home all excited to see my UPS delivered package from Banana Republic waiting at my door … well, been one of those days continued. first off, the $110 item that I purchased looks more like it cost $10. here’s your gift, please go online to see how much I spent, lol! but, what really pissed me off was that gift message beautifully printed on a postcard from gift services that was supposed to be included, wasn’t! whatthemotherfuck? I worked long and hard getting my wording perfect in 70 characters or less, lol! quick call to loopy lucy or whatever the fuck her name was voicing my frustration. no problem, tells me she’s gonna to do right by me by offering some cockamamie discount for my next purchase with Banana Republic (honestly didn’t hear/care to hear the details). cindy lou who, or whatever the hell your name is, I interrupt, “there won’t be any future purchases, so how in the hell does this help me?” attempting to fix my problem by asking me to buy more crap isn’t a solution! I wasn’t born yesterday. I did not fall off any turnip truck. now, lucy liu, quickly seeing the big banana from my point of view, understanding who she’s dealing with, suddenly sherlocks me into a further 10% discount to be credited back to my AMEX before my head explodes! thanks, lois lane!!
my head is like lettuce
go on dig your thumbs in I cannot stop giving
sense of security like pockets jingling
midlife crisis
fuck, I hate you wordpress!!
you keep changing shit! making my blogging life more of a bitch. was not how I wanted it to read. was super easy adding links, renaming links before … shoulda simply/cleanly read johnvarvatos … not now! the fuck you gotta mess things up for?
King of Win!!
Someone watches over me, I have clydesdale sized horseshoes up my ass, or I am extremely on the ball? Maybe, it’s my life trifecta? This morning went to check stuff out at johnvarvatos … and what did I see? My recently purchased Converse X kicks on sale. A quick email, followed by an even quicker phone call … and Bob’s your price adjustment uncle. They happily credited my AMEX the difference since it was within the 14 day company policy time allowance for said adjustments. Still not sure the exact refund amount, but I’m guessing it’s $60+ … I loved them before when I initially bought & got ’em … I love them even more now! Next, about an hour later began working on finalizing a purchase I had on my mind for a few days. I won’t lie, my first thoughts at the time were too excessive, too expensive … but now, for whatever reason, Banana Republic popped to mind. Went online to see what their site had to offer. Not only was I able to peruse items, I was able to check availability at my nearby store (updated every 20 minutes) which is what I wanted, nothing worse than wasted trips to the mall. While deciding on the exact item I wanted, I did happen to catch that 40% discount offer (today & tomorrow/online purchases only) prominently displayed. Why go to the mall and spend $125, when I can sit on my fat ass and order from my computer (along with a cool personalized message at no charge – I LOVE that shit, lol) for $75? Exactly? So that’s what I did, and in all likelihood, will be returning it for a refund at the store, but at least now I have it, and at a sweet deal, really it just provides greater flexibility, whatever I decide. The way I look at it, the money back from JV covers the BR purchase. Win Win … King!!
but I won’t cry for yesterday there’s an ordinary world somehow I have to find
what has happened to it all? crazy some are saying
where is the life that I recognize? gone away
but I won’t cry for yesterday there’s an ordinary world somehow I have to find
and as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Baked Ziti!!
…ok, baked rigatoni w/ hot sausage & Sicilian olives. all good y’all, lol!!
yay, NYC again!!
… remember my second-to-last-indulgence I mentioned? prolly not, eh, lol? well, finally arrived! it’s from john varvatos … and, no my local store had/has absolutely none in stock, so ordering online was the only mofo option. I gave poor Mijon waaaaay too much grief ’cause of my troubles, but I did send a private email kinda saying so, dude was only doing his job, wasn’t his fault JV website was fucked to shit. finally free shipping was up and running (free returns too, no questions asked – I know, lol). all’s well that ends well!
hey now, I’m an all*star … and all that glitters is gold
there’s a magic running through your soul
but you can’t have it all
