I’ve realized that I really have a big pet peeve about pocket dialing. So this evening I got a call from a friend I don’t normally hear from. So I picked up to only find out that I was pocket dialed. Can I say WTF! And have you heard about just locking your phone. For god sakes this is the second time this person has pocket dial me. I think it’s only because my name is in the latter part of the alphabet, hence I’m usually my number gets dialed by accident. Ack! I just had to rant about that for a second.

The Virginia Tech shooting was very tragic. But it seems these massacres seem to be more common these days. This morning, AC asked if I was at uni during the hostage situation. It was over a decade ago, when a guy took over one of the lecture room. I was actually in the Lecture Center (LC) at the time for class. I remember I was wondering why the class was so empty. And being evacuated from the LC through library entrance. Thank god no one was killed. But I didn’t think of calling my family to tell them I was okay. The thought had never occurred to me at the moment. Or the severity of situation at that time just didn’t hit me. But I think it was because I just didn’t want my family to worry. I know it was very silly of me.

Aye! Yesterday, I got a piece of snail mail. It’s really not as slow as the pony express. It only took about a week from Cali to NY. But was definitely a sweet surprise. I haven’t corresponded with CL via postal mail in a few years. In a way, I think the cell phone had replaced our archaic form of communication. Only because we use to spill the beans before the letter arrived.

This morning I stopped by Duane Reade to buy Advil Cold & Sinus for my cold.  Only to find out that I need to bring a card to the pharmicist.  If this is an OTC med, why do I have to sign a log to get simple cold medicine.  I didn’t have to do this year.  It’s all because of the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act 2005.  I blame the kiddies that were getting high on cold mediciation.  Some people actually take medication because they’re sick.  Okay, I’m really grouchy when I’m sick.  Did I tell you I hate being sick.

Whose idea was it to move up daylight savings time.  Definitely among one of the worse decisions made by this administration. Seriously, the reason why daylight savings time later in March is people’s bodies can adjust to season change.  Instead, we were all abruptly woken up on Sunday.  I felt like I lost the whole day.  I turned around and it was already 2pm.  Freaking hell. Then this morning, I couldn’t log onto my computer because windows was corrupted.  They were only able to roll back my computer to Friday morning. What the hell!!!!!  And I’m just getting started. My clock on my computer at work kept changing.  Every time I set it to the correct time.  It would move it forward.  *Grumble*  Damn, daylight savings time.

People wonder why I preferred to be plugged into my MP3 player.  It’s not just to block the white noise of my morning commute. But to avoid the lunancy of the mentally unstable on the train platform.

This morning, I looked out the window and there was snow. OMG snow. There were these little white flurries floating from the sky. My first thought was that I wasn’t wearing the right shoes. I should have definitely wore the rain boots this morning. Immediately, I imed my friends about the snow. Some didn’t believe me. While others ran to the window. Perhaps we will have a winter this year. Of course, the sun immediately rolled in and the snow was gone. There will be no white blanket on the floor today.

I never thought it was possible to max out your block list on Yahoo Messenger. But it was very possible, because I did. But before I go off on a tangent, let me get back to original point of my post. I hit my limit on movies in queue on Netflix. Apparently, you can only have 500 movies in queue. Isn’t that crazy. Why do I have 500 movies on my list. It just ludicrous how much they charge charge for a movie ticket these days. Plus I also add current movies out to my queue so they automatically move up my list when they are available on DVD. I maxed out my list, so now I sit and wait.

I’ve always felt very safe in Brooklyn. Until today. I was walking down Bergen Street with my friend MC when this tall black man in a mustard yellow suit shoved me and kept walking. It wasn’t one of those incidents when someone bumps into you because they didn’t see you. This guy had purposely shoved me. If I lost my balance I would have fell on the floor. I instantly had this WTF reaction. I didn’t do anything. I wasn’t even in your way. I must admit I’m a bit shaken right now. And I feel very distraught about the situation as a whole. Things would have been different if he had shoved me a block earlier since we would have been across from the police station. How can people be so angry and go around shoving random people on the street.

I think every blogger goes through this lull.  Unlike most bloggers, I prefer to blog anonymously.  I take great measures to try to protect my privacy.  But I still feel censored.  I don’t exactly write what’s on my mind.  Probably because I have friends that do read my blog every so often, and I don’t feel like offending them.  I do understand that a blog is sort of public forum, so if you put it out there to world to read then you really shouldn’t expect any privacy.  But for me it’s just a place for me to just vent.  I find that I prefer people to just stumble across my blog, and I don’t really even advertise it.  So now the question is do I just write what I feel, or shall I be careful with my words.  Well that’s still something up for debate.
