| some pictures from the U2 show....we were pretty close...if it werent for the silly barricade, i would have been able to touch the edge's guitar....bummer....
cell phone quality though....sorry
bono
edge
best show ever!!...if you are verizon and want to see more pix, send me ur cell phone number...
aaaanyways....classes are over and all that remains are 2 finals...yeah thats right, only 2 of my classes had finals this semester, how cool is that.
So economics tuesday morning and math thursday evening marks the end of another semester....
I suppose i should start packing as well...16 days left here in CT...and that comes with anxious feelings and ones that sounds kinda like "so i am really doing this....wow"...and i am pretty excited! All prayers are appreciated as always.
So narnia turned out to leave me feeling slightly disappointed. I saw it twice though, and the second time was a little better...i noticed more than the first time and it made me wonder if i fell asleep for periods of time during the first time i saw it...lol...oh well, i still appreciate the older versions that the BBC filmed, even though the acting was terrible and they probably cost 20 bucks to make...oh well, it was good for what it was...hats off the disney corp for not watering it down too much...even though i think subtle disney policies were hinted at in the scene where they make ed wear a women's coat...i dunno about that....(raises eyebrow)...and whats with them being so young...i couldnt help but laugh when santa gave lucy a knife...shes like freakin 6!! ...wow...so boys wearing womens clothing and weapons for little girls...that's awesome...of course i am over criticizing it in my usual fashion, but hey...whatev...
so we had some snow recently...stupid snow! I wake up friday and was like what is this!?? yeah apparently i fell asleep on my iPod...oh that and there was a lot of snow outside...took me 40 mins to get to work!...then it got so bad out that we closed the store...i love when we do that...it's fun to put up a ridiculously huge sign on the door that says "Sorry we're closed", and then watch as countless students still proceed to approach the door and rattle the handle...its so classic...i mean sometimes i just wanna peek out the door and ask them if the sign is too small...or if there is some some sort of euphoria that comes from rattling locked doors next to huge signs informing the public of a closed store...i mean there will literally be some dude that walks up as his friends watch from afar...almost as if they are discussing his approach as a daring feat if courage...kinda like a dare...heye pete, i daaare you to jiggle that locked door...and as if some sort of respect is attained from this act, he slowly approaches the door as his friends stare open mouthed...cuz you know...i would hope that this is the case...either that, or every illiterate person on earth decided to come to starbucks the day a written sign was posted announcing closure...because if "intelligent" people having been confronted by a large sign still proceeded to jiggle my doorknob, i would say you are an idiot...i often feel like we are in a large fish tank during these times...yeah thats right...not only are there the door nob jigglers...we have the people that like to peeeeer....sometimes several at a time...they find a suitable location for which to gaze inside...perhaps hoping that there might be a larger sign indoors that they did not see, informing them that the other sign is wrong...(shrugs) i dont know...but they peer all the same...craning their necks and making those little binocular type things with their hands, as if it enhances the peering experience...it doesnt!
then there are the ones who know perfectly well what is going on, and being able to deal with the emotional turmoil of not being able to order their 74th white mocha this week...they, who being fully knowledgeable of the situation, still approach the locked door. yes...these are the ones who like to make faces of disgust...you know these people...they select body language as a satisfying alternative to justify a wasted trip to starbucks...but these people are unpredictable....they may jiggle the doorknob before shaking their head in disgust...or perhaps they might pause...then briefly peer inside before they scowl at me, who by now is sitting in a chair watching these people, while sipping my warm drink...i am evil i know...but all the same, this is great entertainment for me...even if i didnt work there, i would come out on a day like this and ask politely if i could watch the people...i would do it...but anyways...those people are the best...then there are the ones who act like they are getting in for a closer look at the sign..but you know....you know they just want a chance to express their disappointment...and these are the ones who are yet slower than the others because they choose to read the sign for 20 minutes, when really they are trying to come up with a way in which to show there upset-ness....ultimately they just choose to do something that the guy next to them did...they see a guy throw his hands up and they copy him with a look af satisfaction. almost appearing to say "yeah, ya see that, you all are stupid people for closing starbucks...what kinda idiots would close a starbucks...psh, uh huh...unbelievable!"...with this being planet earth, and closure of a starbucks obviously results in mass crowds having nothing to do at all...but i know exactly what they all did, and let me tell you....they got in their car....and drove...to the other starbucks.......across the street!....
So that's what went down that day at the coffee cartel...cuz thats what i call it...cuz thats what it IS...
I often wish that in the summer time, we would install swinging wooden doors that are very much like a saloon, because i have always wanted to throw someone out of a saloon, i think that would be very cool and i would get a kick out of it. Just imagine a starbucks in a suburban town, and as you're walking up to it, someone flys out of there and lands on the pavement next to your BMW. And as he looks up at you is his dilapidated and very embarrassed state, he mutters in a shaky voice..."it's grande, not medium..."....After that, would YOU wanna go in? probly not....
so this post really got out of control, lol....i'll read this tomorrow and be like, "what an idiot..." haha
have a good night everyone...
-much love-
