Hotness ensues

So, what's better than a hot day, you ask? A hot day in which 17, count them, 17 people *say* that you look hot, and you notice a few other people *CHECKING YOU OUT*!!! HELL YEAH!!!! *jumps up and down* I know it sounds pathetic, but I kinda feel already like the three days now with no soda is already starting to drop my weight. If not, it's sure boosting my confidence level. I look good dammit. I'm bloody awful cute. Life is good. I got some money in the bank, friends who love me, family that cares, a job that usually sucks but lately has been a blast, and let's not forget my POS, Speedy.

It was so nice tonight at work. I got to work with the two hottest guys ever! But that wasn't the big deal. Towards the end of the night, Giggilo Johnny, the performer in the martini bar - right across from the host stand - was doing his usual bit and started kranking out slow songs. He's a dead ringer for Frank Sinatra or any of the other Rat Pack. Anyway, he started doing a couple of slow numbers. And this older couple who were celebrating their 51st anniverssary got up and started slow dancing. After a while, all of the couples were in there dancing. I was just watching with this big stupid smile on my face and this warm tickling feeling in my chest. It was just so fucking nice. I wasn't even one of the ones dancing, but I was so happy for them. They all looked so happy. The way they all looked at their s.o.'s just sent shivers up my spine. I remember that look and I remember that feeling. Alan, the bartender, and I exchanged a look and we just started laughing while watching them. It was so romantic. And then after a couple of songs, one of the younger couples moved away. Giggilo Johnny went over with the mike, and the guy got down on his knee and proposed to his girlfriend in front of everyone (with one of the biggest rocks I've ever seen in my life). She started crying and said yes. I almost bawled. It was so absurdly moving. After a round of applause, everyone went back to dancing. Before I knew it, it was 11 and I was off work.

After work, me and Grace and Becky went downstairs to the Hideaway, which was packed, and had a drink. Well, I had a beer and the rest of Grace's drink. It was just such an amazing day. I want all my days to be like this. I just want to be happy. And you know what? It's not that hard to be. Just look around. There's beauty in everything and everyone. And everything is so simple. Even the most complicated things can be broken down into simple things. That's all it takes. Understanding, patience, love, and a little faith that everything will be allright.

And now, I shall go rest. Er, maybe I'll watch Ellen. I feel like watching some funny right now. I need to buy Margaret Cho's DVDs.

And yay!!! Big Fish comes out on DVD on Tuesday. I'll buy it. I'll watch it. I'll sob for days. again.

Oh my fucking god 2.0

I just downloaded a couple more Ben Jelen songs to make sure I really want the album. I'm so buying this. This guy is freaking amazing. I think John Maybe might possibly have some competition for my heart. This music is just so encredibly beautiful. AND AND, in at least one song, there's BAGPIPES!!! Who can't love bagpipes??? Huh, huh? Who?

My mom's a bitch.

No, not really:P She just called me from Florida. She was just finishing eating her 2nd whole lobster, 10 crablegs and a bucket of shrimp, all for only $20. Poolside. Where it's 88° and sunny. Meanwhile here right now it's 38° and cloudy and freaking windy. She said she'd send me a postcard. Grr. But what's really funny is that she's sending my brother a postcard. My brother's in prison. Heehee. My mom's always doing stuff like that. Talks about how much money they're making and what kind of trips they go on and send postcards and stuff. *I* think it's just to rub in his face, but Mom says otherwise. Hehe. Either way, it's just funny. If you knew my brother and and the shit he's pulled, you'd laugh too. hehe.

So I just bought Ben Jelen's album! *fangirlish squeel*. I definetely am in love. Not a single song on the CD that I don't like. It's just such a great fucking album. He's really really talented. I wish him well. He's not bubble gum, boyband, rap, or alternative. He's his own category. Or rather, part of the category of all the other categoryless artists. Like John Mayer and Tori. They don't go with anything else. They're just really really good. And now, to watch some Ellen because I'm not feeling particularily well today.

Yeah...

I did it again. I changed my theme. Pretty much the same layout, but changed the colors and title and background image. I really like this. We all know how fascinated I have been with the black and white/color imaging lately. Well here. Go look.
