Wedding Bells and Snow Flurries

What's up rock stars? How YOU doin'?

Anywhoo, it seems little old Savannah got a bit of a snow flurry today. Didn't last for long, but in Savannah snow is always worth mentioning should it actually occur.

Tonight I got some interesting bits of info: My cousin has drafted me for the role of wedding singer and planner. So I will be helping her plan out the details and make the things happen that she wants. Tonight and over the next few days she will be deciding on those said wants.

I will be meeting with the manager of Barnes and Noble tomorrow morning at ten to chat with them. Hopefully this is a good thing. Keep you posted ;-)

Also, my sister lied when told me she used protection. Yep. Exactly. How about it? Uh-huh.

Friday, 1600 Hours

...is when I find out whaddup with the status of my potential employment with Barnes & Noble. Here's to believing. And if I don't find out tomorrow, Barnes & Noble will become a pile of wreckage, fire, and rubble. :-)

To Tell Or Not To Tell...

What's up rock-stars? How YOU doin'?

I was and am fine, but a couple of days ago, I made a startling discovery.

Following my infamously tacky interview at un-named location, I received a dinner invite from a close friend, my twisted sista (if you're reading this, smile) which prompted me to decide, 'well, why don't I just stop by my mom's and chill there until it's time to head to dinner?' They're both around the corner and down the street from each other so it would equal a hop, skip, and jump. Makes sense, right?

Well, upon reaching my mom's place, I didn't see her car there but at that point in the afternoon figured my sister should be home.
Makes sense, right?

I didn't text her until I was ringing the doorbell. If she was home, she'd likely be doing homework or watching TV, both of which can be done in the public area only steps away from the front door.
Makes sense, right?

It took her a minute to get to the door, and she let me in, sat on the couch with me and chit-chatted before asking me how long I'd be there. I told her about an hour, 90 minutes tops. She was shocked. I asked why. She made me promise not to tell. I made a blind promise for the sake of obtaining information. She revealed she had company. A guy.
WHOOOAAAAAAAAA-insert shocked face and moment of stunned silence.

My next question was: What is he doing here? What are you doing with him here? to which she assured me that she was not planning any of "that" and I'm sure you know what "that" is.

Readers, keep in mind my sister is 14. My mother had me when she was 14, so you can understand how that makes one feel. ..

The enormity of this proceeded to hit me. WTF? WHAT. THE. FUCK. ?????

I was stunned by it all, from the closed door, to seeing him leave, to being hit by those disgusting scents of body fluid and penetration and seeing throw her sheets into the washer and spray the room. My only questions was: Are you using protection?

I was assured yes, and realized later this could very well be as honest of an answer as the one she gave me about her NOT having sex.
By the end of the night, I told my mother in private everything that took place, even going back to a minor vehicle event that my sister attempted to use to blackmail me with. All of it was out. And my mother was more stunned than I was, of course, and couldn't go back into the house right away.

Rock stars, this situation is being dealt with, and as serious as it is, I still cannot believe that it could have easily gone unnoticed. Had I not received a dinner invite from my twisted sista, I never would have stopped home. Ugghhh.....

Rock stars, for those of you who have kids or siblings, please be mindful and do NOT turn a blind eye due to trust that has been placed in vain. I truly pray that this is as far as I have to go on this topic.

Sex Toys + Unemployment = a HOT MESS!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, it is extremely tacky, unethical, and awkward to interview a candidate for a position at the store register in front of customers checking out and asking questions in the middle of the day. If you do this, you are tacky. Shame on you. And that is all I have to say.

Still in Waiting...

What's up rockstars? How YOU doin'?

The announcement of my possible future employment with Barnes & Noble is still in limbo my friends...I have decided to keep calling after being told that I should call them Tuesday (today) to reach them and get word. Unfortunately, neither manager I spoke with on Saturday will be back until later this week, I'm told. Which could very well be tomorrow. But, as the interview went really well, I am still VERY much optimisttic....

So here's to my future with Barnes & Noble: Yea? Yea? Good? GREAT.....

The End of Another Chapter

What's up rock stars? How YOU doin?'

I decided that for once I would write first and title later.
Below is the debut video for one of my top favorite performers the divine Mr. Adam Lambert. Can I say that he is an immaculate vocalist and his style is similar to that of what I would want mine to be as a performer? Oh well, if I can't say it, I already did. Too late. Sorry...

ABC had recently announced that he is scheduled to perform and be interviewed by the ladies of the View. I am glad that ABC is making an effort to put this whole thing behind them. I will not rehash what I've already written on Facebook but I will say that he does not deserve to be subjected to anything other than fair treatment. But I love the music video. I just hope others see this and get the idea of what the piece is supposed to evoke, not what they think it's saying to them on stage during the AMA's.

In other news, I am closer to identifying what needs to be done to my "sickly vehicle" (i.e. a radiator replacement, brake work to restore the missing pressure, and stoppage of the oil leak.) That will be accomplished with the acquisition of....

...A JOB! Funny you should mention that. I had a great interview with the management of Barnes & Noble today. Not getting carried away, but out of the three (or four if you count Old Savannah Tours) this is the best one because we had three things: a good rapport, definite scheduling outlines, and a definite timeline for correspondence.) I will be praying sincerely for this one to go through. I will know by Tuesday though. My interview with Spencer's is on Monday. It would be nice to get both. We shall see how those will work out in the coming weeks. So by January I will have a new start in some way.

I have also decided to grow my hair out into the "twists" or "dreads" that I've been thinking about for months now. Now that I have my piercings I can work on that and then my tattoos.

Those are physical goals. But I have a lot of things I would like to accomplish next year. With 2009 winding down, it is time for me to reflect on what I want to do and formulate plans on how to do those things and most significantly, ENACT those plans.
By this time next year I will have accomplished a major goal in music by creating a project with a good friend of mine (Adam-NOT Lambert, lol) I will be in the process of publishing the book I am working on, I will be living in New York. Life will be a truly interesting and new journey for me, not one of struggle and stress and hurt brought on by my mistakes and people I used to call "close friends". I have to use this down time for something. I have it, so it's time to reevaluate and revamp the Derrell that has existed up to this point. Things need to change inside AND outside (besides, I've got to buff up, too ;-)

(Nice-I'm actually really listening to Adam Lambert's CD right now and really hearing it for the first time-awesome)

(BTW-this is post #20 for me-yay!!)

To new beginnings,

On the Prowl




Getting closer to what I need. Today saw me meeting with another insurance company and with a sales manager at Dillard's. Neither of them could actually go anywhere but who knows? At this point I think both insurance companies are out. But my employment may come in the form of a mall-two actually-depending on whether I can be hired by Dillard's now and how well these interviews go with Barnes and Noble as well as Spencer's. But at least I am making progress, which is good for my sickly car-lol

Only thing with these insurance companies is the certification part, which may work out for a reason because maybe life insurance is not meant to be my field right now. Who knows? But I sincerely hope that I am hired by Barnes and Noble-AND Spencer's. Or B/N and Dillard's. Either way, 2 jobs is my goal right now, lol....

Here's to a better tomorrow and an even better Saturday and Monday!

...

As the days stretch on...my unemployment is becoming more of a pain in my ass once again. I don't want to worry about it but I don't know how I am going to do what I need to do until I start getting an income again..ugh...why do employers insist on dragging things out, or are they just not interested. I really don't understand what is going on and it's probably what angers me the most. Is it that hard to notify someone of SOMETHING? Ugh...

Anyway, I ventured out in my sickly vehicle and marketed myself today. Here's hoping that someone will bother to give me a chance. Not sure if I deserve one, but I would surely appreciate one. I don't know if there is more that I could or should do to get to these people and find out what the FUCK is going on. Shit like this makes people sell themselves or start stripping. It's ridiculous and for one am tired of it. I don't believe it is time for me to relocate to New York yet but what else can I do here??? My entire life is at a standstill. My living situation, my car, my health (soon) and other things including probation fees are all affected by this and it's out of my control now. THAT is the second most frustrating aspect of this bullshit.

NOT liking my life right now...
