Absentia....

HEY!!!

I have a religious retreat this weekend, and I literally have nothing to wear tomorrow. I hate that feeling. Isn't it sad that none of my newer clothes are long enough, have a high enough neck line, or cover enough skin to wear to a religious event. Sheesh. Apparently I need some religion bad since apparently I only shop to go to the club these days.

Speaking of the club, I loathe this one particular club, one particular bouncer in LA. He is so blatantly white only selective that he makes me crazy. If your a white girl in a little piece of nothing, or even a not that attractive white girl with a gut...you are in. If you have a darker complexion-non white (although some Asian women are acceptable-but in LA they share most of the rights and privileges of the white girls) you can bet you will be ignored. I have only been to this club one other time, a friend was visiting out from out of town wanted the celeb hollywood experience and this place was sure to give it to her. We waited forever with every other colored girl, while every single white girl of any variety, dressed in any style was allowed in upon appearance. When we finally got in I commented that perhaps we wouldn't have had to wait so long if we were white...He pretended to get an attitude. Anyway I tried the club again b/c there was an event there, that had a list. My girlfriend and I signed up, got on the list +2. Voila, should have been no muss no fuss. Yeah, not so much. My friend who I deem "universally attractive" (meaning white, black, mexican, persian, other men are all into her) and is persian/indian got as much non attention as I did. She was outraged, I was hot but determined not to allow him to ruin my evening. We went to a nearby bar had a blast anyway and plotted ways to ruin that little man's life. The "power" that door guys think they have...he is the worst kind of example of that crap.

Sarah Palin makes me almost vomit. So does John McCain. So do Republicans. Its not that Dems are so much better or really different for that matter. But at least they are able to hide their contempt for the common man a little better, Repubs don't even try-"we love rich ppl, we will make you richer on the backs of whatever poor downtrodden we can find. Also, rah rah Jesus". Monkeys.

Speaking of Jesus-I love gospel music! But only on the low...and really i only know like 2 Gospels songs, including God is Tryna Tell you Something which is the Color Purple. But yeah I can admit it, I'm a closet gospel fan....Don't tell my Granny..or mom.

Speaking of my mom, we are all going on a family vacation to Myrtle Beach in December-Xmas week in fact. I think it might be fun...but how does one go to the beach and dress modestly? T-shirt, shorts? Do they make high-necked bathing suits? My mom, gotta love her.

Its football season!!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA! I'm hype.

I have two friends that are in love and some stuff...One is planning a wedding the other has started to talk about the possibility of getting married. Its super cute for both of them. I'm really happy for them, and I think their relationships do melt a little of my cold blackened heart :)...but I hadn't listened to India Aire's Acoustic Soul in a minute. Listening to it the other day, the last verse of the song "Promises" reminded me of the two of them...It's so nice to know-even only by a degree of separation-a couple of gentleman who keep their word. Its refreshing news.

"Her wedding day and she's thinking ‘bout the way he won her affection
She was so cynical about love ‘cause she didn't want to be heart broken again
He looked her in her eye with sincerity, said he only wanted to protect her so she
Took a chance on him and she's glad she did because he came for real
And he did, just what he said, for that she'll love him forever
He kept his word to her, for that she'll love him forever"

Hope all is well...
