Fun with Natorchen

so let me give you just a tad bit of background on the convo you are about to read. an on-running joke with me and natorchen is he asks me every few months if i will have his children. done this for YEARS upon YEARS. answer is always no. different excuse every time or simply just no. he figures eventually i will say yes if he asks enough. i told him i would say yes when we are 80. :-p

so, tonight we have planned a get together (or shall i say, i organized it) at our favorite bar of years that is closing it's doors sunday forever. :( gonna be a sad day.

(p.s. bar's name is "stout" - and the 'stra on the end is just one of our many isms we attach in our everyday conversation)

natorchen says: stoutstra?
butterfly says: si. i have an indoor game at 7:30, but i will go up there afterwards.
natorchen says: ugh
butterfly says: wha?
butterfly says: i can cancel on the soccer i spose
natorchen says: no... don't
butterfly says: why are you ugh'ing
*You sent a Buzz!*
natorchen says: hold
natorchen says: always with the soccer... "wanna go to a movie?" "no, I have a game"... "wanna go to the stout party you organized?" "no, I have indoor"... "wanna have my children?" "no, I have soccer"
butterfly says: LMAO
butterfly says: that's a good excuse for the kids thing. i'm using that next time you ask. LOL
natorchen says: hehehe

"Well, I Woke Up This Morning, A Rainbow Filled The Sky"

i came in this morning having SO much to write about and i just completely got overwhelmed with a severe case of writers block. yikes.

maybe if i just start writing, everything i wanted to say will begin to come out.

so i did some car research this weekend. turns out my santa fe only gets 18 mpg. talk about terrible. i think i've narrowed down my options to two vehicles. the toyota matrix or the toyota prius. this is going to be a tough decision for me because the matrix is exactly in my price range - and it gets 26 mpg highway - which is almost double what mine gets. OR....i could have the option of the slightly more expensive prius but get 44 mpg!!!!!!! 44 mpg....seriously. overall i'm sure whichever way i went it would equal out. but i'm tending to want to go the way of the prius simply because it's better on the environment and it's a hybrid. so........we'll see. i am going to go do some test driving over the weekend. whatever i choose needs to happen soon since gas prices just rose again here to $3.54. wtf. next we will turn around and it's going to be $8 a gallon. this town REALLY needs to start getting more efficient with the public transportation. i'm NOT kidding. because we are in serious need of it now and very soon in our near future. yes, we have the dart rail, but it's not all it's cracked up to be that's for sure. we are really in need of public transport in the likes of chicago or ny. but who am i kidding, that will never happen here.

have any of you, dear readers, seen the last kiss? if you have, i'm terribly sorry, i feel your pain...and if you haven't yet seen it, do yourself a favor and stay as far away from this movie as possible. the acting was great - had some good actors in it...the story line makes you want to slit your wrists. twice...and not miss. ugh. i've never felt so meloncholy or depressed after watching a movie as i did with this movie. the soundtrack is brilliant, so atleast it has THAT going for it.

my mother bought me painting supplies 2 christmas' ago. i had yet to open them at all. i decided to create this weekend. i painted 3 paintings and i had an amazing time doing it. it was so much fun and so soothing. the first 2 were alright, but i was pretty impressed with my 3rd one here. i kinda dig it.

anyhoooooooooo, i know i had some other things on my mind, but i can't seem to think of them at the moment. so i will leave you now. have a fantabulous day all!

Well Poo

so my plans of spring cleaning didn't go as planned this weekend. ah well. apparently i needed some sleep because i was only awake for 7 hours yesterday. whoa. i'm finally done with my antibiotics and my illnesses seem to be dimished (finally!), so hopefully this week will be a better one.

i got sick to my stomach this morning when i opened up the internet and the front page of msn has the us death toll in iraq reached 4,000. 4,000 people folks. i really wanted to vomit. still do. all these lives lost for absolutely....NOTHING.

on a funny note, i saw this bumper sticker on a car this weekend and i giggled for a good 30 seconds.

One Foot In The Weekend

THIS site has been providing me with unstoppable entertainment over the past few days.

i know these little lolcatz have been around for roughly about a year now and i've seen a few here and there, but i didn't actually visit the site until the other day. these are the cutest things ever and are a great source of hours of entertainment.

so i couldn't figure out why there was no traffic coming into work today and why our parking garage was 1/2 empty. damn christian holidays. meh.

i have big plans this weekend. and by big plans, i only mean a cleansing of my soul and physical cleaning of my area of inhabitance. spring cleaning if you will. my funk has gone too far and it's time to turn it around. and by funk, it's been mental, physical and all around funkage. i have the ladybug this weekend, so some good quality time with her will be in order. i'm kind of thankful for no soccer plans this weekend so that i can do what i need to do on my own terms. (speaking of soccer, a girl on the other team last night tripped and ran into the wall of the indoor field 2 minutes into the game. broke her wrist and as her wrist gave way, crashed her head into the wall. yikes. not a pleasant thought - moving along).

i'm in need of some change. physical change of myself and my surroundings. as far as i'm concerned, i've made a hair appt for next saturday for a major change. hopefully it will turn out ok....as long as it does, i will post pictures...hell even if it doesn't i will still post them so ya'll can laugh hysterically at me. :) i'm yearning for a meditation room. a room all to myself that is neither a bedroom or a living area that is all mine for my meditation, my bead making, my yoga, my spiritual, my ME room. my escape from reality room. problem is, my current living area does not leave room for this. i will have to compromise - the gears in me noggin are already turning. hmmmmm.

hope everyone has a grand weekend. i hope to return on monday fairly refreshed and revamped. i'm burnt out on work and i'm burnt out on this city. luckily my friends and i already have a camping/hiking trip in the works for next month to enchanted rock. ah, i can't wait - i know it's exactly what i need.

ciao.

Hmmmmm

i had a conversation with one of my best friends this morning over IM.

when i mentioned that i've been "off" this week, he mentioned that i've been off kilter for quite some time and he has his suspicions as to why. you know what, he's right.

we are going to have a heart to heart tonight and i'm curious what his take on my out-of-whackness is. hopefully it will give me some incite as to a direction i need to take to get myself in a better place.

i love my friends.

Side Effects and Mortality

so i really don't mean to be a downer lately, but damn. i got my tetanus shot on monday and i've been feeling like SHIT. not like head-cold or anything of the sort, just "off". i didn't know that side effects of this shot can cause tiredness, muscle aches and headaches. apparently i've caught the high end of these side effects. i slept horribly last night - i guess i kept laying on the arm that i got the shot in and it was giving me horrible pains. i'm assuming these will go away in a day or two, otherwise i suppose i will have to call the doc. i don't recall having symptoms like these the last time i got one of these shots, but i was a teenager, so who knows. atleast i won't have to get another one for 10 years. *note to self - be prepared for this*

i think about my mortality often. i don't mean to sound morbid or anything, but it's human nature and i'm sure certain people think about it more often than others. having children heightens those thoughts as well. there are times that i am petrified of death (ie. when i experience panic attacks or at other specific times), then there are times that i am at peace with dying. whenever it may happen. my #1 concern always is if the ladybug will be taken care of and be ok. i know in my heart that she will be, but i also get that thought in my head of her losing me and me missing out on the rest of her life. possibly a bit selfish way to think, but hey...she's my daughter. is it strange that i have already told my parents and clued in my closest friends what i want to happen if i do die suddenly and before any of them? i even have put in requests of what i want played at my funeral and i have reiterated that i don't want any methodist hymns playing with old white men singing out of key and in a monotone voice. i would rather die AGAIN. and easy on the godly stuff. you know...since i'm still in a constant "i have no idea" mode. that is subject to change of course.....

i have had 2 songs picked out since directly out of high school and another added on in the last 5 years or so. these songs have a VERY DEEP meaning to me and it would be my dying wish to have these played at my funeral. i would want my closest friends and my family to say a few words, then afterwards, i would want one of them to have a huge party and to reminisce about all the awesome, fun times that we all spent together. nothing drab, nothing terribly sad.

so for shits and giggles, i would like to share these 3 songs with all of you.

first is "love is stronger than death" by the the:



second is "china roses" by enya:



and lastly is "hallelujah" by jeff buckley (must be this version even though the original version was by leonard cohen):

this is the best version - but it has disabled the embedding: CLICK HERE

Gah

there are so many things rummaging through my brain that i want to let out, but i don't think i'm ready for the world to see yet. i need to keep pondering them. i am a mixture of emotions right now : i feel happiness, i feel sadness, loneliness, unsteadiness, confusion and even some fulfillment. why whenever i think i am perfectly content in my life and where i want to be, something (or someone) disturbs that flow?

*Yowch*

tetanus shots hurt like a summofabitch.

my arm feels like it's about to fall out of my shoulder socket.

that is all.

Tristan & G. Love & soccer & Knight Rider & American Gangster

hellova title, right. that's probably because i'm totally out of it today since i took a bit of a pain pill last night due to massive muscle pains and now i'm just...well...groggy.

friday evening was phenomenal. it was my birthday celebration since i have the ladybug all this week. friends who couldn't make the show met us at a local bar before heading out to the late show that it was. apparently bob dylan had played an early show that night, so doors didn't open until 10, which is unusual for HOB. g. love of course put on an awesome, funky, groovin show. if you've never seen him live, i certainly advise you to do so. tristan prettyman opened up for him. although i had heard a song or two and of course their collaboration on one of his songs off his last album, i didn't know much of her. oh.my.god. seriously. she is AMAZING! my new favorite song at the moment is her song called breathe (click and it will take you to her site so you can hear the song). she's a great performer and cute as a button to boot.

saturday was spent taking it easy. a friend came over saturday evening and we watched the new knight rider movie. hahahaha. it's hard not to laugh and as cheesy as it was (was the first knight rider not cheesy?), i kind of enjoyed it. i kind of hope they end up making it into a tv show because i will probably watch it. :-p

also watched american gangster. whoa. of course we saw the unrated, extended version which added on about 19 more minutes of the original film shown in theaters. what an awesome flick. i recommend it highly if you haven't seen it yet.

sunday was filled with soccer. my first outdoor game this season, which we tied 1-1 and then the ladybug's game. met up with a friend from out of town and her sweet little daughter for dinner, then came home and relaxed before bedtime.

it was one of my more enjoyable weekends that i've had in quite some time. a weekend filled with close friends and of course some i haven't seen in many months which was very nice :)

this week is going to be tremultuous at work, so posting will probably be few and far between.

pip pip cheerio.

Only in Texas

can you wake up in the morning as i did yesterday with the A/C on and roughly 75-80 degrees outside....

then....


by the time you leave work....


you turn the heater on because the temperature has dropped 40 degrees and you are freezing your bahookie off.


ugh.

Immaturity

i just love how immature i can be at times. it's not all the time, but i have my moments.

so i've been having an issue with our little bella bear pooping on certain spots on the carpet for the past...well...since we've had her. i keep her litter box clean and i immediately clean the spots that she's soiled. i am going this weekend to get some of the pet no-go stuff and see if that happens to work. also going to change the brand of litter and see if that has something to do with it as well. when i was googling last night, i also found out that taping aluminum foil to the carpet in those spots will make them stop going - cats hate the feeling of aluminum foil on their paws. so i did that last night....but i really want a permanent solution that i don't have to look ghetto with aluminum foil all over my house.

i was reading in forums different solutions from people. and i read this one and i couldn't stop giggling for about 30 minutes. how immature am i?

google: "how to stop my cat from pooping on the carpet"

thread answer: "one time i pooped on my cats head and ever since then he hasnt pooped on the floor."

yah. i know.

TOTALLY cool and VERY uncool

THIS has got to be the best invention known to man. i am totally getting myself a pair of these. real soon.

an den....

while at my soccer scrimage yesterday, some of the girls were talking about THIS. while i'm the first to admit that i did love those douchebags wayyyyyyyy back in the day, in fact it was my very first concert....but i will blame all that on puberty and bad taste.

i mean....REALLY?!?! what would possess them to do such a thing? they are like 60 years old and stuff.

whoa. whoa. whoa. whoa. whoa. hanging tough.

yah.

that hurt me too.

Business card...theme...banner....AHHHHH

ok...if it's one thing i am NOT good at (besides handywork and mechanical crap around the house) is trying to create a banner or collage or business card type-ish things.

i'm trying to think of a business card / banner. i'm instilling the help of my friend natorchen for some ideas, but he's been slackin....so, i took it upon myself to make something up. and it's too basic. i want it more personalized. i am envisioning a butterfly with rays of sun coming off it. something earthy....something with my personality.

this is what i came up with so far. ugh. i need help. i hate this crap. (this is where i am asking you lovely, artistic bloggers and readers out there for your opinions)

my l word character

i needed a distraction for a moment before i start this online course and test for my promotion. *breathe dammit*

most of you reading this probably dont' watch the l word or are as addicted as i am...but hey. what can ya do. for those of you that do....can we just take a hatchet to jenny and get her off the damn show? argh!

Somber 2nd day of 2008

hiya lovelies.

i'm very happy about this new year for new beginnings and saying goodbye to 2007 and everything that came along with it. gaining some closure as well.

i'm feeling very somber today though. over the weekend, i got struck emotionally. my sister's best friend since jr high's father was in a tragic accident over christmas and passed away as well as my "little brother's" best friend from childhood.

we tend to go through life taking things for granted at times (not on purpose of course), but life generally gets in the way and goes into "routine" mode. but when things like this happen, we tend to get a huge fucking fist in the face of reality and of how truly short life is and how there are no guarantees. you start thinking of all the people who are so important to you and call them quickly and hug them tightly and tell them how much you love them. i do this often anyway, but after tragedies, i tend to go overboard.

i'm feeling introverted today as well. i finally got my ipod set up yesterday with tons of songs, so i am now at my desk, quiet, listening to my tunes that are good for my soul. we are super slow today, which is a nice change, so i am going to fully take advantage of that today because after this week, it's going to get crazy again.

i know i don't sound it today, but i really am very positive about 2008. i think it will be a good year for me. i seem to be doing a little mourning of 2007 these past few days, but it's a process that will soon be complete. two friendships that were very strong in 2007 are also taking a turn. nothing "bad", just aspects of life and our closeness is starting to dim a bit. such as life.

my only new years resolution is to stop smoking. i'm on a plan to be done cold turkey by the end of this month. i don't smoke regularly in the sense of "a pack a day" or something of the sort. but i do atleast have 1 or 2 a day and then if i'm drinking somewhere, that changes into many more. so instead of depriving myself fully, i'm gradually ridding of the habit. and it really is a bad habit...although i wouldn't call myself "addicted"...it's still a stinky habit. and it's time to be done with it.

i have many plans for myself this year, but none other that are resolutions. because when you put too many expectations out there, you end up getting disappointed. as in any situation.

so happy 2008 to you all - i wish you all the best year of your lives yet. ~namaste~


p.s.....does anyone have any suggestions for earphones? i have super small ears and earphones never ever fit in my ears right. argh.

Sooooooooooo......yah.

after a few hours of fighting with my insomnia the other night (which i'm so shocked that i have had since work has been STRESSSSSSSSING me to the max), i caved in and turned the tube on. strange days was on. i forgot what a freakin BAD-ARSE movie this is. not to mention, angela bassett looking mighty tasty. whew. anyway...drifting from my point here.

i started to drift off a bit towards the end and when the credits came up being in a semi-conscious daze that i was in, this song took me to another world. i knew once the male voice rode in on this song that it was none other than peter gabriel. fucking genious he is. i rank him up with sting with all the genres and all the different musical accomplishments they have both made in their lives. ol' petey does, however, have one bad mark on his record being linked to rosanna arquette and all, but hey, i'll forgive him for that - it was a long time ago...and besides, he got a hit song out of it. ;-)

the song is called "while the earth sleeps" by deep forest and peter gabriel. this is how i saw/heard it:



but close your eyes and feel it.

i have a surprise for ya'll, but have to get pictures first, so i will post the surprise soon :)
