Horrible Day

So today started out rough... I stayed up until 3am helping my sister type her exam essays, then was woken up at 7:30am by my mom because I had left my computer connected to the house phone line and no calls could get through. So my mom called my cell phone to inform me that her car had been broken into lastnight while she was working. So after that, I had to get ready for class, so I proceeded to school wearing the same clothes that I had worn yesterday. Right before class, I found out that USF was giving away sneak preview tickets to go see HellBoy before it was released to the general public, but sadly the showing was tomorrow night at 7:30, which is during my lab class. So then I proceeded to go to Rob's for a nap and quality time with the boys' "new" dog, but ofcourse I missed my turn and had to go completely around in a huge circle before I got there, but that was okay because it was a nice day. Then upon leaving, I found myself trying to find a faster way to make it from Town n country to USF but I took a road I had never taken before but figured it'd be okay, because it crossed the road I wanted to get to... Little did I know that the road I had taken, only led to the highway where there was a toll and it only accepted exact change. So I pull up, turn on my hazard lights as I frantically search for $0.50, but finally have to resort to running to the car behind me and asking the driver for $0.50. Thank god she was nice and had it, so then I continue until I find a non-toll exit and wind up right back where I started. Isn't life grand. Then, I get to campus and circle the lot for about 45mins looking for a parking place just so I can hit the library and try and work on my lab before I meet up with my lab partner whom it looks like wont be coming. Its just been one of those days.. well, at least my sister gave me $$ to get some food with, otherwise, things would just get worse... I guess I have to see what the rest of the day/night has in store for... I can't wait...

Hello

Hey people.. So how about that party update huh?
The party was a blast! There was music, booze, pizza, and other various foods, and people! I had a great time. I have found a new favorite drink. Its the Amaretto Sour. My sister's friend Ryan made it, and it was the greatest drink ever! I also had a kamakazie but I think it was missing the Triple Sect but whatever, I drank two just the same. And ofcourse, no party is complete with out the drunken 21yr old who decides to drop the shyness along with almost dropping his pants. Fun kid. Easily amused, liked to drink, couldn't remember my name for the life of him. After calling me Christy for the entire night even though I kept saying "no its Cindy", when he finally left, he ended the night with "I'm sorry Christy for calling you Cindy all night." Ah, the drunk kid.. you all know one, and if you don't, then its you. The girls held their liquor while the guys proceeded to drink, dance, fall, puke and finally pass out while the girls watched over them and made sure they didn't die... what would they do without us? But it was fun... there are pictures, video footage, and some memories that no recordable media could capture. It was a great night. I hope we can all do it again some time.
Too bad you missed it, huh?

The day after..

So yesterday I had a bad day, but the night made up for it. It was my sister's 22nd birthday and I went with her and a bunch of her friends to a bar lastnight. It was a cool place. Karayoke was definately present along with large amounts of alcohol. A good time was had by all. Appearantly my sister has a friend that looks like he could be our older brother.. It was wierd.. the bartender was even like, "Are these your sisters?" and ofcourse he was like "yeah" ... Silly boy. He drank alot. But thats cool, I like most people better when they drink or rather, when they're drunk. He definately got obnoxious but thats okay.. There was a another guy I didn't know there too. His name was Chris, and I swear he was the cutest thing ever! He got drunk and was nothing but huge smiles... Now thats what I like to see. I hope everyone had a great time.. It was such fun. I love my sister's friends... granted some more than others, but whatever. As for tonight, the fun continues.. Tonight we journey out to Lutz for the PARTY party.. Which translates to free drinks that isn't beer which means people are gonna get waaaaaay drunker faster and prolly wont have to worry about driving home.. Goodtimes... as for me, right now, I think I should wake my sister... Its almost time for the party and we've got quite a ways to drive.. soooo... for now, I bid you adieu until I get back for another update.. huzzah!

The Poetry of Yeats

He wishes for the Cloths of Heaven

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread upon my dreams.
~Yeats



The Wheel

Through winter-time we call on spring,
And through the spring on summer call,
And when abounding hedges ring
Declare that winter's best of all;
And after that there's nothing good
Because the spring-time has not come ---
Nor know that what disturbs our blood
Is but our longing for the tomb.

Down by the Salley Gardens

Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I, being young and foolish, with her did not agree.

In a field by the river my love and I did stand,
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;
But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.

BLOG

Hey people... Its Tuesday, March 23rd, I'm Cindy Jo and this is Channel One news.....
Wow.. takin' it.. well, not quite old school, but back a few steps. I remember when words similar to those used to kickoff my school day as I sat in homeroom forced to watch that damn news station dealy... I hardly ever paid attention to what was going on and just thought it was a waste of time and electricity.
Now my days start with a quick jolting myself awake remembering that I have class in about an hour.. Hurrying around trying to find clothes to wear, shoes to match, trying to locate my keys and then wondering if there is time for me to shower. Forget doing my hair, my last few moments before I rush out the door are dedicated to putting my contacts in so that I will be able to see during the day... It's kinda like high school except I care more about how I look, because my friends will make fun of me if I'm not on point with what I'm wearing because they consider me "too flashy and cute to just walk around in sweat pants or a full out sweatsuit". Ugh.. life gets so complicated as you get older, and I'm only 19!!!
Classes are going okay. I have a Chemistry test tomorrow and I'm completely fucked cuz I definately haven't begun studying yet.. oops... and Right now, I'm still waiting for a friend of mine to call and see if she wants to hit the mall but who knows how thats gonna go.. meh.. oh well.. but anyhoo, I'm gonna start doin' something.. maybe... :-d

Bleh

So I have found that I have a tendancy to work myself into a violent rage. I was talking to my buddy Zack about how someone upset me and how its was really just something little, but then I kept thinking about it and wound up getting myself extremely angry about the situation. So right now, I'm sitting here in my towel wondering what I am going to do until its time for me to go to the movies..
I'm actually going to go see Dawn of the Dead which I initially didnt want to see, but I've heard nothing but "good" reviews... well, almost nothing but good reviews.. okay, put it this way, the opinions that I've heard about that movie contain more positive aspects than negative ones... so, I'll see how this turns out.

I think I have overdue library books again.. I wonder if there is a grace period because I checked these books out in like January and kept forgetting to take them back to the library, so I just renew them online.. I hope no one needs these books, I mean really.. Who really wants to read about the current problems of Africa in the year like 2000 or something.. But, whatever...

Lets see.. This upcoming week should be interesting. First of all, I'm supposed to have researched Hawthorne for a paper in english by tomorrow (Monday) and I haven't started that.. Then tuesday is class and prolly a quiz on that damn reading in my Black Experience class... Wednesday I have a Chemistry test, hurray, which I haven't started studying for.. Thursday I have my Physics lab, my favorite class of all and after that, I'm gonna be headed to some place called Beer Bellies or something for my sister's 22nd birthday celebration type thing.. then friday its class and then heading out to Lutz for my sister's actual Birthday party PARTY.. sounds like a busy week, eh? Well, the week after that is no better.. Infact.. its prolly worse.. At least this week I get to spend money on my sister, which is always fun. I love buying her expensive things or just plain things in general.. YAY! Shopping!! But for now, I think I should make a trip to the library and return those books I've had for at least 2 months.. granted that means I have to get dressed, but thats ok.. Clothes were meant to be taken off later anyways...

Tootles!

Bleh!

So I'm sitting home... watching a movie.. er, was.. now I'm annoyed and don't feel like watching my movie. Damnit! Stupid parents ruin everything! er kinda.. whatever.. Bleh.. Where is some poetry that I can read and release some anger... Rawr!!! /'''/>_<\'''\

You are starch. You are rigid, opinionated,
hard-willed and not too friendly about it. You
keep people out of places, or you keep them in,
and without you a lot of things would collapse.
hopefully you'll never have the authority to
burn people at the stake. Sir. Ma'am.

How are all my beautiful people out there, and just to clarify, if you are reading this, you are sooo definately a beautiful person (they travel in packs ya kno... like cigarettes) So the week is ova, praise allah. About damn time, although it did kinda go fast, but whatever, the real point is that it's GONE! I haven't much to really say, but I did find one of my favorite poems ever! Its from Through the Looking Glass, or as some of you may think, Alice in Wonderland and so I've decided to provide it for you all this day. Huzzah!

THE WALRUS AND THE CARPENTER

The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might;
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright-
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.

The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the day was done-
"It's very rude of him," she said,
"To come and spoil the fun!"

The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky;
No birds were flying overhead-
There were no birds to fly.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand.
"If this were only cleared away,"
They said, "it would be grand!"


"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year,
Do you suppose," the Walrus said,
"That they could get it clear?"
"I doubt it," said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.

"O Oysters, come and walk with us!"
The Walrus did beseech.
"A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,
Along the briny beach;
We cannot do with more than four,
To give a hand to each."

The eldest Oyster looked at him,
But never a word he said;
The eldest Oyster winked his eye,
And shook his heavy head-
Meaning to say he did not choose
To leave the oyster-bed.

But four young Oysters followed them,
And yet another four;
And thick and fast they came at least,
And more, and more, and more-
All hopping through the frothy waves,
And scrambling to the shore.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Walked on a mile or so,
And then they rested on a rock
Conveniently low;
And all the little Oysters stood
And waited in a row.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes-andships-and sealing wax-
Of cabbages-and kings-
And why the sea is boiling hot-
And whether pigs have wings."

"But wait a bit," the Oysters cried,
"Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath,
And all of us are fat!"
"No hurry!" said the Carpenter.
They thanked him much for that.

"A loaf of bread," the Walrus said,
"Is what we chiefly need;
Pepper and vinegar besides
Are very good indeed-
Now, if you're ready, Oysters dear,
We can begin to feed."

"But not on us!" the Oysters cried,
Turning a little blue.
"After such kindness, that would be
A dismal thing to do!"
"The night is fine," the Walrus said,
"Do you admire the view?"

"It was so kind of you to come!
And you are very nice!"
The Carpenter said nothing but
"Cut us another slice.
I wish you were not quite so deaf-
I've had to ask you twice!"

"It seems a shame," the Walrus said,
"To play them such a trick,
After we've brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!"
The Carpenter said nothing but
"The butter's spread too thick!"

"I weep for you," the Walrus said;
"I deeply do sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.

"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?"
But answer came there none-
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.


Hope you enjoy this as much as I do.. now I think i'm gonna go read Through the Looking Glass... tootles!

Bored

So its Thursday night and here I am. I got out of Physics Lab about an hour before we had to leave which was nice. Had a nice little convo about Spring Break with my buddy Special Ed whom besides the fact that he's a frat boy, he's pretty cool. So yea, now I'm home.. chillin'.. trying to think of something to do.. OH! so lets talk about how today, every guy I encountered needed to take like a midol or something. They were all just so testy and bitchy and I was like "Gawddayyum!" Some claimed they were tired, some hungry, some claimed a bad Spring Break.. But there was always some reason. Between trying to figure out the damn lab, having my TA get my pants and shoes dirty, my lab partner obsessing over LAST WEEK'S LAB instead of the current one, watching everyone else to see what they were doing and losing my mind, trying to figure out who dropped and who just didn't make it to class, I managed to finish the lab (the measuring stuff anyways) and then I left my new lipgloss behind... damnit.. also, I noticed that I am always the last girl to leave the lab. Granted that there are only three girls in the lab itself and we never work together, but still, I always end up being one of the last ones there either chattin' up some of the guys or just doin' some calculations. Don't get me wrong, I love my lab class, the TA is funny and the guys are cool, but I'm just stating an observation I made.. nothing more, nothing less...

I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who always calls me to bitch about his girlfriend. Now, I'm not saying I don't wanna be there for him to listen to him and whatnot, but dude, everytime its just SSDD. What I can't figure out is why he lets himself be so unhappy. Like I know my baby drives me nuts sometimes, but its NOTHING compared to the shit I hear from my friend. I just don't understand why he is still putting up with her shit if he's so tired of it and if it all really goes down like he tells it. I mean, saca su cojones y dump the perra! So people just live for drama I guess and even go as far as fostering it, but I mean maldicion! but whatever.. to each his own, si?

Whoa

Oops.. damnit.. forgot to update again.. my bad... nothing really has happened in my life recently.. I wrestled with the boyfriend.. I lost, but thats not the point.. the point is I held my own and I'm proud of that damnit! I got WinMx so now I spend all my time sitting here downloading music while trying to find ways to increase my laptop memory. huzzah. BUt yea.. I have no idea of any plans for anything.. I was thinking of maybe going to Orlando for the weekend to see my boy Zack, but eh... who knows.. We'll see.. as for now, I'm about to go lookin' for more music..

Secret Window

So i saw The Secret Window today... great movie.. it woulda been better if the mexicans behind us woulda shut the hell up but whatever. The movie takes some unexpected turns and is rather tripped out, but I liked it. Its definately a multiple viewing movie. Perhaps I shall go see it again this weekend or maybe tonight I'll go see another movie... who knows.. I'm shifty like that.. never know what I might do next, so watch out...

The day after..

So its like 10am Friday, post-beach going.. I'm so tired.. and sore for some reason... I think I might get a tattoo today. A friend of mine is getting one and perhaps it's finally time I got mine. Then I have no idea what I'm doing with the rest of my day, but tonight is movie night. I got a special date at midnight. Hurray! Well, time to get up and welcome the day.

What Spring Breaks are Made of...

So today was beach day... The damn day started at like 7am when my alarm went off and I made the necessary wake-up calls. Then it came time to start getting ready... So about 9 am, I picked up my girl Lydia and then we proceeded to Amber's. We wound up not getting to the beach until like noon. It was the most beautiful weather. There was not a cloud in the sky, the sun was shining and the wind was blowing.. PERFECT. We hung out on the beach all damn day.. it was great... we joked, played a little football... chillaxed... had an all around great time. This is what Spring Break is all about.. I spent the day with my girls having a ball and now it's like 7:30pm and I'm fuckin' ready to go to sleep. sheit... I'm so tired, I dunno how i made it home, but that doesnt matter now.. now its time for food and sleep... How was ur spring break thursday?


Friday night... Ybor...

We've made plans for Spring break.. nothing big, just shopping, an outing or two. I'm excited.

The sweetest letter ever!

Below is the sweetest letter that I have ever recieved from a friend... Thanks Gee! It means the world to me...

Somewhere between the *procrastination* and the homework.. and the
incessant forwards and the friendships and the calls to each other
complaining about <3*.:*CrUsHeS*:.*<3!! Somewhere between the
phone calls to old friends and the "I miss you's", the "I love
you's" and the "What are we doing tonight's?" And somewhere
between all of the changing and growing... somewhere between the
classes and the skipping classes...and the StUdYiNg for
TeStS...And the PRETENDING to *StUdY* for ~TeStS~.. And the
downright NOT StUdYiNg for TeStS... I forgot--I forgot what ScHooL
was all about. Somewhere between all the appointments and
starbucks coffees, and Diet Mt. Dew's... paying bills and then not
paying bills...Making plans then breaking plans... Appearing,
Disappearing, then reappearing...I forgot--I forgot what it was
like to cry. I forgot that pretending to be happy doesn't make you
happy... And that pretending to be SmArT doesn't make you smart ..
I forgot that you can't just forget the past in fear of the
FUTURE... I forgot that you can't control falling in
.:.LoVe.:.<3.. And that you can't make yourself fall in
*LoVe*<3.... I learned that I can LOVE... I learned that it's okay
to MEsS UP.... And it's okay to ask for HELP!!!.. And it's okay to
feel like crap... I learned it's okay to cOmPLaiN and wHINe to all
your friends for a whole day........ I learned that sometimes the
things you want most you just can't have. I learned that the
greatest thing about HiGh ScHOoL and CoLLeGe and the working world
isn't the parties or the DRiNKiNG or the hookups... It's the
*FrIeNdShIpS*, which means taking chances. I learned that
sometimes the things we want to forget are the things which we
most need to talk about... I learned that time and can heal all
things... I learned that just when you think it can't get worse-
it does... but w/ the love and support of friends-you survive...
I've learned that when you start feeling BaD about L O S I N G
touch - those that you've lost touch w/ are feeling the same
way...I learned that letters from friends are the most important
things. And that sending cards to your friends makes you feel
better. But, basically, I just learned that my friends........
Both o l d and new..... Are the most important people to me in the
world. AND.......without them, I wouldn't be who I am today.....

so thanks for being my friend, cindy JooOOooOOooOOOoOOOO. i hate
you. but love you at the same time.

gee

A good day

Wow, i dunno what it is, but today was another good day. The sun was shining, a cool breeze was blowing, just fuckin' awesome. I got my car cleaned thanks to my puppy helpin' me out.. I'm such a princess, he really like did most of the work.. and the part he made me do, he really ended up finishing the job so meh, oh well, my car is clean. Then i got my Dell shit taken care of and got fed some awesome homemade mexican food then got to witness some nice drama.. it was a good day.. I can't really remember what else I wanted to say.. TOmorrow I pick up Amber from the airport and no one knows where things shall go from there, but thats what makes it so much fun! Ugh, so sleepy... Well, yea... night night.. gotta get up early for shopping tomorrow... muah! muchas besitas!

Apologies

yea, it has been brought to my attention that on my march 1st post about the Passion of christ, I got my Mels mixed up... Instead of saying good job Mel GIBSON, i said well done to Mel Brooks.. Granted this is a little humorous because Mel Brooks is a JEWISH comedian/actor/producer and I was talking about the Passion but still, the typing was not intended to be so funny... I guess it just turned out that way. But I appologize to Mel Gibson for taking his credit away from the movie. My Bad.

ELLO!!!

Sorry, long time no update huh? Well, spring break has started and I'm still doing nothing. I do plan to go to Orlando for a day or two with some friends, but it may fall through because it is me and my friends and everything we do falls through. But no matter. So last night I was out with one of my best friends of all time. We've know each other since we were fetuses just about. So it was late, and we were at Walmart, where all fun nights end, and guess who we run into... my boyfriend... Granted, I knew he was working tonight, along with his other roommate but yea, whatever.... Normally this wouldn't be a bad thing... except that my boyfriend and best buddy had never met but decided that they hated each other.. don't ask me to get into it, but yea, they hated each other... I have to admit, other than the situation being a bit awkward, it went over well... both boys were on good behavior and they finally met. Them meeting used to be a big deal to me because I had this huge issue with the people in my life having to know about each other and at least meet. It really tore me up inside when they each decided they hated each other before they even met, and I even tried to go as far as setting up little "surprise meetings", but I failed horribly. Over time, I just accepted the fact that they didn't like each other and ofcourse when I least expect it, they do and they're civil. Ah, my boys... who cares if they hate each other, they now at least know that the other exists and that makes me happy...

Huzzah! this looks like maybe my second "happy" entry since i started this thing... woot woot... Now I shall go finish watching House on Haunted Hill and wait for my sister to call me, letting me know that she's back in town. i'll try and remember to keep writing, but I make no promises!

Thursday

So i just finished my AFA test, some of those questions were really like out there, but anyhoo, i had like an hour left before class and guess where most of it just went... thats right, on the phone with a friend of mine bitching about his girlfriend adn how insane she is... i mean damn, just dump her or live with it... stupid boy not liking confrontation. But yea, i have about half an hour left before my physics class where I shall proceed to sit there and finish my lab that will be due at 6. hurray!

I found out the other day that my sister has choosen to make Spring Break plans that do not include me.. Aint that some shit.. she's hittin' atlanta this weekend and then tuesday she's going to Miami with some friends... how left out am i? Pfft, no one considers Cindy when making plans... poor me.....

Bleh

So I think I may be suffering from depression, or maybe its something else like meloncholy or some other negative word that isn't as severe as depression. Listlessness? Is that even a word? So my morning class friday is canceled, and now ofcourse, I wanna go out Thursday night. It's college night you know... but anyhoo, I've been sleeping like a cat lately, and not in the positive ever vigilant way. Its more of the Garfield type where I sleep for 18 hours a day and then not care about anything else but food and the next time I will sleep again. I think i need to get active, do something. But then again that takes effort, and I hate that. Oh well, perhaps Spring Break will bring some relief as soon as I find something to do.... damnit.. oh whatever...

The Problem with Resolutions

So I made a personal lenten resolution type thing. I decided that I would stop or at least try to ease off spending time idly. But ofcourse, as soon as I made that resolution, a million and one things decided to pop-up and screw with my head. So now, I actaully am busy a lot and I am forced to stick to my resolution. I've been so busy, that I haven't even been able to keep up the blog entries, so to my adoring fans out there, all three of you, I appologize.. Spring Break is just around the corner... I can almost feel it trying to take me away... however, right before that last night I need to make to get there, I have like a million and one projects, tests, and essays to do. Oh spring break, will you never get here?? Speaking of projects, I have an english one due right before spring break.. well, the first draft is due, and ofcourse my group is a bunch of slackers just like myself, so I'm thrust into the role of being group leader adn trying to get everyone to do their part, but it just ends up that I do most of it... damnit.. Group projects, Physics tests, AFA essays, and unfinished Physics labs.. is there no light at the end of the tunnel? I bet the little light was really a flashlight someone was using to get a glass of milk or something.. there really is no hope.. damn... and I was good for nothing.. well, almost good.. well, it started out that way, but somehow it just went terribly terribly awry.. oh well, thats enough for now. I'm sure there is a shitload of work that I haven't done yet so I must depart and I will try to make time for my blog entries.. Miles to go before I sleep and all that... yea.. i'm tired.. I hope your week is going better than mine...

The Passion...

So I went to go see that Passion of the Christ movie today adn all I have to say is Well done Mel. Never have I been so moved by a movie. I sat in the theater and cried the entire 2 hour duration of the movie. Its just so emotionally inciting and I suggest that only the strong of stomach go see it. As far as movies go, if this one doesn't win some type of award, then the industry can go .. well.. I wont say where they can go this being a very open site, but the place would not be a good one. There were parts of the movie that I thought were a little cheesy, but those moments were few and far between. The actors and actresses did an amazing job and never have I ever been made to cry from just the look in someone's eyes as this movie did. Awesome job Mel Brooks.
