This Is Why I'm Pissed!

I'm SOOO pissed! I swear today has just gone from bad to worse...But I'mma get to that in a minute.

First, let me back track. So I went to this comedy show ting on Saturday night-and it was an ABSOLUTE waste of money!!! The head comedian was a guy called Felix Dexter. He was a funny man back in the day in a comedy show called 'The Real McKoy'...he hasn't really been about since the show....and I was sure he wouldn't be all that funny, but what the heck! The tickets were buy one get one free-so at £4.50 per ticket it wasn't all bad....yeah right! I can't remember how many acts there were, but as well as the comedians, there was a poet and a rapper. So we got to the club about 15 minutes late-and Felix was already up, doing his set. He wasn't totally crap-I laughed a couple times, but it was more a short giggle than anything else. The poet was this dude-I think he was about 20 or so, he was really good. He had some deep lyrics! There was this angry dude named Maverick-he was a seriously angry black man! It was too deep! There was one other comedian that was really good. The rest of the acts were terrible! One lady who was soooo bad-seriously, if she was my mum I'd die from embarrassment! Another dude came on, and he was 10x worse than anyone else! The crowd was talking over him-it was so bad...that he handed back the mic to the MC early, cos he was so crap, and no one was interested. Finally, there was this white rapper/MC chick...who rapped about something or another, and then did some next track called 'this is why I'm broke' on the backing of 'This is why I'm hot'. She was alright-had a couple funny lyrics but it went on for TOO long!!! So when the show FINALLY finished, it was party time! Got hyped for some tunes, cos I haven't had a good raving night out in soooo long...then the DJ-shit as he was- started playing all these bait tunes- JE- where the party at..? J-Kwon -Tipsy! This rave was meant to go on until 3-but we left at about 12.

By this point, I'm out ready for bed! But my SFAM & LF wanted to go on to another club. Went to Brixton, and stopped by Z Bar. Now it's 12.30-Z get's soo rammed, so if you're not there early, wherever you stand, you'll be in the way of traffic, and there's nothing I hate more than being pushed constantly, and hearing tunes that I can't dance to cos there's no ruddy room! Now, as I'm not driving, and the majority was ruling, we went to Z-the bouncer said that it was shutting in half an hour-so it was pointless. Drove around the corner to another club called 'Fridge bar' This place is a TOTAL sweat box! My hair was down-and is bout ready for a touch up-and I KNOW it wouldn't have been able to withstand any heat! Again, all i wanted to do was go bed! My LF wanted to know how much it was etc, and my SFAM nominated me to ask the bouncers...I was unimpressed, cos it's like-'Why do I have to go? I don't even wanna go to this place anyway' but me being me, I said nothing, and went to the bouncer. It was £10 to get in and finished at 4.45. Great! I JUST WANNA GO HOME! My LF attempts to park, but there's no space so we head back home. Inside I'm soooo happy, but I don't let it show! Those 2 decide that they are not done for the night and head on to another club-I opt out...I'm not tryna be rubbed on by old men old enough to be my dad! No thanks! So I get in my Smartie, and go home!

Sunday- went to my nephews school fair. It was a good day out with all the fam-I've got pics, but heck if I know how to put em on here!

So today, I woke up in a pissy mood-dunno why! Got to work-there's no damn parking spaces for my car, so I had to park my Smartie around the corner, half on and off the kerb! Was NOT impressed! Again, I'm the only on my team in the office, so there's shit loads of work to do-pissed!! Go to have my cereal-there's only milk in the fridge from last week-pissed! Ok, I'll just go to the shop and get more right....wrong! The stupid shop only had full fat milk! Great-that's gonna help my Weight Watching isn't it?! By this point, I'm so pissed! I bought a Ribena, choc biscuits, Starburst and a packet of crisps! Fuck the weight watching crap! And fuck this no smoking malarky! Yep-I had a cigarette today-I know I know....but I just had to! I swear, I would have ripped someone's head off otherwise!!!

Leave work, and head home! Finally, the day's over...I can chill at home, and just relax. Got home, and my sister L was about to cook some chicken to have with the rice & peas that my mum cooked yesterday. I actually hate left over rice & peas, but hey-I'm not cooking, so I'mma grin and bare it! I'm upstairs, and then I decide to go down and share my dinner. I see the pot of rice & peas on the floor! So I'm like-why's it there?! Turns out the rice has gone sour, and my sister S was about to put on a pot of basmati rice. I go to my mum's room door, and stick my head in. She tells me that the rice has gone off. So I say-oh what are we gonna have with the chicken-and then she says' go and cook rice-S is cooking rice' So I say....JOKINGLY ' you lot are jokers! ' I ask you Blog fam...what does that mean...i mean REALLY mean!?! To me, not much, since I say it all the time....but anyways, she goes absolutely nuts at me! Talking bout how I don't cook blah blah blah. Granted, I don't cook very often, but if you look at it like this-I get home between 5.15 & 6. The kids are home from 3-4. My mum's home from work at about 2.30 for the kids. It's not my fault that by the time I get home, she's already cooked. She thinks it's too late to start cooking dinner for the kids at 6pm-so really how can I win!??! So she's going off-I'm wondering why she's going off like this, but I'm thinking it's whatever innit! I then think fuck it, jump in my Smartie, and head to the fish & chip shop. Get me some fish & chips-as you can tell-no watching of weight today! But I didn't even care!

Whilst in the shop, I did my good deed for the day. There was a lady in front of me, who had bought food. I watched her count all her coins to make £5. Turns out her food is £5.30. When she realises she's 30p short, she starts digging in her bag, mumbling that she couldn't do. By this point, I had already decided what I was gonna do. The lady behind the counter got my order together, and as I was about to pay, the lady was still looking for more change. So I turn to her and I say 'What do you need? 30p? I'll get that don't worry' and she was like 'no, no...' I said 'seriously, it's fine-let me get that for you'. She accepts, thanks me about a thousand times, and then heads off. She was so grateful! But see I know what it's like to be short a few pennies, and how embarrassing it can be. I didn't make a fuss of it-I had enough money spare, so it's whatever!

Ate my food, chilled in my room for the best part of the evening. I'm just so fed up now! I can't wait for August to come around, so I can get the heck up outta here! Me & my mum get like this sometimes-we just clash about everything! She wants me out-I wanna be out....so soon, we'll both get our wish!

And I'm now pissed cos this acne treatment shit that I got the other day has decided to give me a rash on my whole face. AND I'M PISSED!! This shit itches like mad!!! I'm so annoyed! More so, that it's another shit product claiming to treat acne! It's all a bunch of shit! What is being damn near 25 with acne?!?! Fuck mother nature & her stinking hormones, oil glands and every other bitch mofo that causes the bain of my existence that is ACNE!!!!!! And yeah, I know a change in diet works-I'm working on that....but come on! I've been battling this since I was like 12!! Surely it's enough now!!!

Ok-Ranting over...I'm bout to go make my salad for tomorrows much calmer, less stressed better eating-weight watching tuesday!

Pray for me people....

Rememberance...

Today is the 2nd anniversary of the terror attacks that happened in London. Sometimes I still can't believe it's happened-or even that it was 2 years ago! And then there was the failed terror attacks last week-man...it's some scary shit. What happened on 7/7 was on a much smaller scale than 9/11, but it just shows that there's a whole lotta hate in this world. So I'mma take a moment of silence to remember all those that lost their lives, their families left behind & those that were fortunate to survive.......

The sun actually came out today! Infact, it was pretty hot-which is surprising since it's been raining every day for the past 3 weeks or so!! Went on the road, to do a few bits, and then washed my car! It's looking spanking-which I'm real pleased about! I'm so proud of my car-I just hate it when it looks dirty!!

So as I'm writing this, I've got a bitch of a migraine! I'm meant to be going to a comedy show later this evening, but I'm really not feeling it. Jamming at home watching tv seems so much more appealing right now! But I have to go cos the ticket has already been bought! I'm hoping that if I chill for the moment, until it's time to get ready, that my migraine will go! Finger's crossed!

So I'm off to do just that....later!

Can't Leave Em Alone....But You Might Wanna!

Ok, so I wasn't gonna post today, cos I didn't really have much to say (hence why I didn't yesterday)..but then today, at work I was surfing the net-as I do, and I came across the Ciara & 50 Cent video. Urrggggggghhhhh! Is what I can say to that.

Watching that video actually made me physically sick-wanted to puke all over the PC screen! Now, for those of you that have seen the video, or even if you haven't I'm sure you've heard about the 'nude' scene where CiCi & Fiddy are rubbing up each other and ting! YUK YUK YUK! I mean who thought that was a good video concept?!?!? In my opinion, a good video sets a song off. I find that even songs that I don't like, sometimes grow on me once I see the video....can't think of any at the mo to use as an example...but you know what I mean. I don't think they look good as a couple either...I laughed when she was with Bow Weezy-but at least he was good looking!

I liked this song...but now I can't imagine hearing the song without visualising fiddy & Ci all hugged up, rubbing each other up all nakey.... **shudders at thought**

Yesterday I went to visit my aunty & cousin. My cousin's 6, and she's now lost her two front teeth!! They actually weren't ready to come out, but she banged her mouth on her scooter on Tuesday, and one fell out, and then she lost the other on Wednesday. She looks soooo cute, and she talks weird....which is cute too-except for the spit that comes out too....I swear I had about 10 showers in 4 hour time frame!! I had to stay later than I planned, cos I had to wait for her to do her homework. Not that I'm big headed or nothing, but she overly loves me! So when I said I was going home, she was BEGGING me not to...and she wouldn't do her homework...so I had to wait for her to do that! Bless her!!

I've got 1001 things to do this weekend, but at least it doesn't include waking up early & coming to work!!

I have nothing else...the brain is dead!

Laters...... Tom_Gurl

I Slipped Up....

And damn near busted my head.....

Just Kidding...lol!

Wha gwarn blog fam? Yuh cool?

Ok, so firstly let me scold myself-I slipped up...had a cigarette-or two....BUT I'm back on form now. I put myself to the test & failed. But I know for next time!!

So i met up with my SFAM (my bad influence). I haven't seen or spoken to her since she came back from holiday. We were catching up and ting, and then she tells me that she met her boyfriend's family. One of his cousin's was telling her about the girl who got stabbed couple weeks ago. He knows her, and told the story of what went down. It seems that Sian wasn't defending the girl after all-she actually went with her own knife, with the intention of doing some damage. From what's been said the story is, that this dude that the whole thing was over, has a baby with his ex girlfriend. So the ex girl-friend brings the baby round to his house to see his mum. His current girlfriend (who is Sian's friend) somehow finds out that the ex is at the yard, gets pissed and then heads down to the house. Up in the house now, pure arguement, running up and down in the woman's house (yea, I agree....total disrespect) They end up outside, the boy's mum goes upstairs to call the police, cos obviously there's pure ruckus going outside. By the time she gets outside, Sian's lying in a pool of blood.

Now, I dunno exactly how much of this story is true, and it does not invalidate the fact that a young girl is dead, but it does shine a different view to the whole situation. I dunno man, it's a sad situation, and worse still over something that could have easily been sorted by TALKING, a life has been lost. I don't know what's happening to the youth of today man-it's too deep....

On other news, I've now decided to get on to the Weight Watchers bandwagon. I'm not gonna go to the meetings or none of that ish, cos I really don't have £5 to give these people every week. There's another girl at my work place, who sits opposite me, who'll be doing it too, so we'll support each other, and I'm signing up to the gym this weekend, so hopefully things will roll according to plan, and I'll be well on my way to get down to my target weight of about 9 stone. So that's 2 stone to lose....For my US readers (I know you guys measure weight in lbs), I believe I have 28lbs to lose....? Think that's right. If anyone has any tips and ting of how I can make this easier, I'll be very grateful.

Left work early today-went to the opticians, and then decided that I didn't wanna go back to the office-so I didn't. Chilled at home instead. Now I'm sitting in my messy bedroom, looking at the fat pile of ironing I've gotta do....and watching Big Brother. How dry!!!

Sayanara peoples!!

Ms TG

Dry

I have nothing today...well nothing worth sharing... I might have something later, but I doubt it...I'm dry! And none of blogs that I usually read have been updated-so can you believe-I've been doing WORK all ruddy day!!

Where's the justice!?!

Today...

'Today, I made up my mind,
I'm gonna take this chance,bet my life on this
Cause this precious love I've found in you.
My yesterdays are gone, and tomorrows never promised to no one.
I finally decided boy that my today is you'
(Musiq-Today. 'Luvanmusiq')

This is what I'm feeling today. I've decided I want to be with Mr Man. I had a 1 to 1 with my heart & I've decided to listen. I think I'm being way too hard on him,myself and the situation. I'm starting to understand that there really is many things that are beyond my control, and thought I may want something to be like 'this', God has plans for it to go like 'that-and I need to stop fighting it. I have to trust in His plans. So I'm preparing myself for what may come-be it plain sailing or battles & struggles.

The truth is, I don't know what's ahead of me, but I'm willing to brave the weather and go through it. As the song says, 'my yesterdays are gone-tomorrow's never promised' so I need to stop looking behind me, wondering where things could have been better, and as I don't know what the future holds so I need to focus on now, and take it each day as it comes.

Yesterday, after reading Southern Gal's post of quotes, one in particular was the final push I needed to make my decision. The quote was about a type of love-real love...and as I read that, I realised that I have that type of love. The love that I have for Mr Man is real. It's the kind of love that has me awake at night, that hurts so much that I wanna cry...the love I have for him is worth going through it all-it's worth fighting for. I know it's gonna be hard and I'm really scared of the unknown, but I know how badly I want to be with him, and how much he wants to be with me. I wouldn't want to share this type of love with anyone other than him. He's been prepared to fight for me for a while now. I'm now feel that I'm able to fight for him-for us...

Love is a beautiful thing, but it's hard, it hurts, it's misunderstood and it's complicated, but I'm ready to face it all. I welcome you to join me on my journey. I thank you for being on board thus far-any advice I'm wanting & waiting to hear...Blog fam-I'm ready for this!

Mad love to you all!

Mr Man: 'From my heart to you 143'
(Musiq-143 'Aijuswannaseing')

I'm Out.....Ms TG

I'm Back...1st Post of July Baaaabeee!!

My internet is still dead! So right now, I'm where I always am...yup-work! I'm tired as sin! My lil sister again, decided to join me in bed at 4 this morning....then woke up every half an hour after that! Absolute nightmare!!

Now as I haven't been able to update all week (I think I'm slightly obsessed with Blogger, cos all I wanted to do was get on it-it was all I thought about all weekend! Sad I know!!), there's alot to update, but to be honest I probably won't go through it all cos it's too ruddy long!

Don't you hate it when you decide to call a friend, and they act like you've done them something?? You know the ones, where by the end of the conversation you're wondering to yourself 'why the fuck did I call you?' This shit happened to me on Friday. I called this girl-she used to be my best friend in school, but she dropped out, had a kid & I didn't speak to her for about 3 years. Back when I was working in IKEA I saw her in there, we spoke for a minute, exchanged numbers and fast forward 3 years, here we are! Now, the type of friendship we now have, is when she's in shit, or there's pure madness in her life, that's when she calls me. In the beginning it used to bother me, cos it was like these were the only times she wanted to talk to me, but after a while, I was just like 'whatever...it is what it is', besides she's always in some kinda hype, and to be honest I'm not tryna be around that!

So anyways, her latest drama is that she's pregnant for some dude who's out on bail out of London for *read slowly* beating up his ex girlfriend.....yep-domestic abuse (please note: Her baby's father used to beat her up also). She's been with this dude for about 7 months now-3 of which he spent in jail. So she's being a ryde or die chick and standing by him *keep my comments to myself* So she intentionally gets pregnant for him, and he's pissed-he already has 2 kids with 2 other women. He tells her that if she keeps it, he'll disown her, and that if he saw her on the road he'd walk past her...yadda yadda. The last time I spoke to her-about 2 weeks ago, she was contemplating abortion. So we talked about it, I told her that ultimately it was her decision, and that I'd support her with whatever she decided to do.

So fast forward 2 weeks, I hadn't heard from her-so I'd been tryna call her all week. Finally get through to her on Friday now, and this chick is acting wierd. So I'm like 'are you ok? Why you sound like that' She's like 'yeah, I'm just tired'...but I'm not convinced. So we talk for a minute and then it gets silly-so I'm like well I'mma leave you to do what your doing....and ended the conversation. I was feeling a way after-I'm thinking if I did something to her...but I know I haven't. I'm just gonna put it down to the fact that she's probably got her shit going on...and well the way I'm seeing it right now, if you aint saying, then I can't help ya...I just didn't appreciate the way she was acting....

Saturday- Went grocery shopping for my granny, and then went on to my sister's house. Chilled there all day. Her boyfriend came home, and she made him put up the TV stand that he's been meaning to do for a good few weeks now. Now, where my sister wanted to put the stand, there wasn't enough room, cos her wardrobe was too far over. So her boyfriend now starts pulling the wardrobe, and lets just say-a new wardrobe is required. The wardrobe's quite big-and has 3 parts to it-where it was pulled & pushed, the screws that were holding the whole thing together got ripped out. I was standing there for about twenty minutes holding up the roof of the ting-trust me, it was NO fun!!!

Sunday- Went to Covent Gardens with my sister, her boyfriend and my nephews. was a good little fam day out. My mum & siblings came down to my sister's for dinner & I went to my Granny's house for dinner (as I do each and every Sunday), then went back up to my sisters house.

I text my friend-the one who's bubby is in hospital, asking how he was. She text me back saying that he had another operation, but that he was doing well. She hasn't held or fed him yet, and she's finding it really hard, but she's being strong for her other two children. I text her back a few words of encouragement, and let her know that they're in my thoughts and prayers. I just pray that he pulls through this...poor little mite.

So that's the radio edit of my weekend. Spending the weekend with my sis was really nice. I haven't been spending much time there of late, but it was good to chill you know!? And her and her boyfriend-when they knock heads it's too funny. I was sitting watching them, and I couldn't help picturing that being me & Mr Man....*sigh*

So that's me....Sorry it's so ruddy long, but thank me later-it could've been a WHOLE LOT WORSE!!

I'm Out....Ms TG.

P.S On my 7th No Smoking Day!!!
