Hot Topic or Hot Mess

Well if you grew up in the 90's you for sure have heard of the store Hot Topic.  It was the dark dungeon in the mall the place for all the misfits and freaks alike to get all their goth gear and piercing paraphernalia. If it was dark and undead you could find it there, It pumped out the seedy underground music that you wouldn't hear on the radio not to mention the only place to find every color of the rainbow in hair dye. There was even a piercing and tattoo requirement to work there. It was a place of magic and mayhem and just pure heaven for people like me. But sadly if you go there now it's bright as hell and you hear pop music coming from inside. The pierced and tattooed freaks that used to greet you are replaced with fresh faced teens who have no idea who Marilyn Manson or NIN are. I mean they sell Justin Bieber T-shirts for Christ sakes i mean back in the day they would have kicked you out for walking in wearing a Justin Bieber shirt. .......I am saddened by the changes to my favorite store. Where am i going to get all my piercing stuff from now?? I went in there yesterday to get a new tongue ring and they only have two kinds to choose from WTF you can get all the ear stretchers and plugs you want they had two cases full of them but god forbid you have anything else pierced your shit out of luck. I used to get my living dead dolls there but they stopped carring them so i guess I'll have to see if i can get them on eBay now......I understand you have to change with the times but don't lose you edge that is what made you popular in the first place. People went in there to find stuff no one else had. I could buy a Justin Bieber shirt anywhere (not that i would lol) . What about the underground music that no one else carries like the revolting cocks or car fax abbey? For crying out loud man no matter what decade it is you will always have teenage angst that shit never goes out of style. All i have to say is just bring back my dark dungeon and tattooed freaks don't sell out......Justin Bieber T-shirts  WTF that's like blasphemy....Just Sayin

Texting , Blinkers and Cart Returns Oh My!

We all have things that bug us to know end and I sure you will think i'm just complainning i'm really sorry if you find it annoying but I think these issues need to be addressed.

1. Please for the love of God and all Human safety use your turn signal!!

I feel if I see one more person not use there turn signal i'm gonna jump out of my car and beat them ok I really won't but I have invisioned it in my head. I mean we all had to show we knew where they were when we took our driving test and they are not an option we buy on our car it's standard so please use them. Not to meantion how dangerous it is for your fellow drivers. We kind of need to know if your turnning or not you are not on a top secret mission and we the other drivers could give two sh*&'s if your "someone important". I mean we are all "someone important" to someone I am to my kids, my mom and my husband so lets not try to kill me in a car crash beacuse your to lazy to move your hand 3 inches down or your left to turn on your blinker.

2. This is for the people who can't walk three spots over to return your cart!

Why is it so hard to return your cart to the designated cart return? I mean the same people that complain to customer service that there are carts blocking all the spots up front are the same people that leave the carts in that spot. I also love the people who get mad that a rogue cart scratched there car well hello if you leave your cart just sitting in a parking space what do you think is happening yes you just scratched someone elses car with your now unattended cart so as I see it karma is a b!#&h. And don't even say well I have kids I can't leave them in the car unattended while I walk to the cart return sorry moms I won't sympathize I am a mother of 2 only 17 months apart and if I had to shop with my babies I made sure I parked right next to the cart return that way I can put my kids in there car seats and just put the cart in the return without even taking my eyes off them. there is no reason to leave your cart just randomly sitting around it's rude careless and not to mention making the cart persons job ten times harder.

3. Put down the cell phone!
There is nothing more rude them being out with someone and the whole time they are on there phone texting someone else. I mean I am out with you in the flesh and you can't even hold a conversation with me beacuse you keep reading your phone and texting and laughing it's like why even be out with me. Also I find it unperfessional when i'm on an interview and my maybe future boss keeps saying hold on a sec i'm sorry and stops the interview to answer her incomming text like really is it that important that it can't wait 15 minutes till we are done. unless someone just died or your kid just got rushed to the ER it can wait it's rude. Also can we drive and not kill yourself and others by texting. Your life is not that interesting I don't care if your The Queen of England or Angelina Jolie your life is still not that damn important that your status update can't wait till you put your car in park.

Tattoos: What's the problem?

Tattoos I love them everything about them from the story behind them to the talent , time and detail that goes into them. But back in the day they were frowned upon and you were thought to be a criminal if you had any. But now decades later everyone and there mom has one. So why are you still getting discriminated against if you have one? I mean some places won't even hire you if you have one. They treat you like a second class citizen not even good enough to take out there trash. Me I have three tattoos one on my wrist , one on my ankle and one on my stomach but the one on my wrist is the one everyone can see. I was a manager at a retail store they had no problem with it or any of my other co-workers art. I was professional and customers even came up to me telling me how pretty it is and asked who did the work (which is me yep I did it myself) so of course I was proud and loved telling people about it. I did my job well but unfortunately in this economy I am now looking for a job and even though I have the experience and skills for the jobs I am applying for I get the "I really like you....you are exactly what we are looking for but.......because you have a tattoo we can not hire you" run around Bull S@#!.  I just don't understand it's 2012 we have like five reality shows based on tattoos. Almost everyone has one I mean my grandpa had one from the navy god rest his soul... I mean it doesn't define me or hinder my ability to do the job so what is the problem and it's not like a nice long sleeve blouse couldn't cover it. It's a shame that after so long there's still this medieval ideal about what you should look like to be considered a valuable person to society. I am an upstanding citizen who has never been in trouble with the law. I'm a happily married mother of two who loves the art known as tattooing. I should be judged by how well behaved my kids are who are on the honor roll , my work ethic, and my please everyone attitude not by if I have a tattoo or not. There's a saying that goes

"The only difference between a person with tattoos and a person without tattoos is that the person with tattoos doesn't care if your tattooed or not"

Well said and so sadly true.

Applications do they even read it??

OK i have been on the look out for a new job and I have put a lot of applications out there but my big question is anyone reading them?  I miss the old days when you would go into the place you wanted a job at asked them for a paper application you filled it out and handed it back to them right there you atleast know someone got it. Now you go in and ask if they are hiring and they say go online to our website and fill out the application and if we are hiring we will call you well OK I do that and i never hear anything from them so did they get my application or is it lost somewhere in the black hole that is call the world wide web? So then I took a new route I signed up at a few Job search sites I made a profile uploaded my resume and applied for a few jobs you know who calls me not my future employer but a school wanting to know if I want to go back to school and not just one school calls I got 15 calls in one day. So then I apply for a specific job like say a shift manager full time a few weeks go by and holy crap they call me and I'm so excited then they say we would like to interview you for a part-time cashier position WTF did you not read what I applied for why are you wasting yours and my time and my gas to drive out there for an interview. Really there has to be a better way to find a job and would it kill the companies to set there inbox to have a automatic message that gets sent back to me saying you received my application I mean really that's just good business and you don't have to hire a new person to do this just have your IT person set it up there probably just sitting around waiting for something to break anyway......

Twilight Hate to Love it

Twilight we eat it up like ambrosia the food of the gods. We need it to fill that void in our souls with romance and undying love because that is just as mythical as Edward being a vampire. You can hate all you want on Twilight but it is pure genius. There is no way a female could not love it. It has the perfect balance of what every women wants the dark and mysterious bad boy who has the unbelievable ability of unconditional love and knack for romance. We need that because in real life that doesn't exist . If you find that beautiful dark and mysterious bad boy your in for a lifetime of heartache and if you find the man of romance and unconditional love I'm sorry but he's batting for the other team. So here I am hating that I love it. Yup I'm even waiting in line with all the other love starved fans. I can't wait till part 2 comes out so I can feed the love sick monster. But why do men hate Twilight so much well simple it makes there lives more difficult. There Girlfriends/Wives see twilight and then they turn to there significant other and say " why can't you love me like that" "why can't you be that romantic" and there only argument is to yell at us that  it's just a movie we're being ridiculous but are we? I have to thank Stephanie Myers and all the other writers that remind us hey it used to be this way we as women just gave up and are letting men get away with substandard and half ass romance. Because we have been told for so long that it's not real it's only in movies that we stopped believing. But men tell us this so they don't have to try anymore well guess what ladies we are the only ones to blame I say no more. If men want us they are going to have to up there game. No more making it easy for them. Chivalry is only dead if we don't give it CPR. If anything Twilight should teach us not to settle for the emotionally unavailable cheating A$$holes. Lets make them work for the love of a good women not feel that they are in titled to it like it's a birth right And for you ladies that think it's OK to act like said boys look in the mirror and ask yourself would I want to date me? I think not.....so  in my theory twilight teaches that we shouldn't settle for less when we are worth so much more.......

Neuro Nuts

 Since my mom had her mini stroke 2 years ago she has become the absent minded professor. Which is not a bad thing considering the other alternatives of a stroke. But none the less it has been getting a little worse so I went with her to see a Neurologist. OK queue the Dr. "OK I see your having some problems with your memory let me give you some test". OK can you walk to the end of the hall and back........mm mm OK run your your left foot up your right shin......Alright I have to admit I'm thinking WTF does this have to do with her memory she walked in here so she didn't forget how to do that but hey he's the one with the diploma. So he sends her to have another test done and I also go with her this time too and I'm not aloud back there but when she's done I ask her how did it go and she says great I did better then the nurse who tested me. At this point I'm like what tests did they give you she says puzzles and she read me a story and asked me to tell her what the story was about right after. Now queue me "Are you serious who can't tell someone what the story was about right after you get done hearing it they should have told you the story had you do something else then ask what it was about." Who makes up these tests.....I mean the women god love her starts working on the computer 5 minutes later she's out watering the plants and can't remember what she was doing on the computer but having her walk up and down a hall is totally gonna tell you what the problem is what a total crock of sh@&! then I thought OMG! if you did better then the nurse I don't want her doing any work on me if I go to the hospital. So I am at a loss for words and still no closer to an answer of why this is happening to my mom but I do know I now think neurologist are a bunch of nuts!

Movie Etiquette

I was so excited to finally get to see Twilight part 1 in the movie theater. I mean i was geeking out to the highest power. I usually only get to see them when they finally come out on DVD. But now I remember why I wait.......Do people even care about others anymore I mean good god I had a 10 year old behind me translating the whole movie to her mom in Spanish loudly I must add. Then someone brought there toddler and let him/her run up and down the isle steps squealing through the whole thing. I am not making this up I couldn't this is to far out of my realm of rudeness. I was getting so mad that I was about to start a fight with said 10 year old because I couldn't hear a word the movie was saying I wish I understood Spanish so maybe I could have followed along. But I just turned around and shushed them but it didn't stop them people are just so rude these days I would never bring my baby to a movie theater and my kids were trained at an early age no talking in the movie.. I just thought that was a common rule taught to everyone but alas I am wrong again. So now I have to wait till it comes out on Friday to buy it so I can watch it again. Not that I wasn't going to buy it anyway but it's not everyday I get to got to the movies that's not rated PG. So I walked out of the theater two hours later deflated and melancholy with a dash of annoyance. What did I learn from my experience save the $12.00 and put it towards the DVD.....
