The Rubber Stamp

The Rubber Stamp
I routinely stamp the invoices with�“date entered”.�I enjoy this task, the clicking sound of the self –inking stamp, the repetition, the neat uniform size of the letters and numbers.
I remember as a child wishing for a rubber stamp.�I used to cut shapes out of pieces of potatoes and use food color to press images on my books.
This fascination began with trips to our neighborhood library.�Back then libraries were still quiet.�No one ate or chewed gum in the library.�If we were even whispering we would get a “Shhh” from the librarian.�She seemed to know off the top of her head where all of the books were and could answer any of our childish questions. She would patiently explain to me time and again how the Dewy Decimal System worked.
The librarian wore a dress and I remember her bracelets that tinkled as she stamped the books.�I was mesmerized by this motion and sound of the repetition of the stamp, her bracelets and the scent of her perfume mixed with the smell of the paper and ink.
In my bedroom I was the librarian, checking books out with my potato stamp, wearing my mothers bracelets.
Today I have a “real” stamp and I get to use it as part of my job on a daily basis.�Most times it is just a mundane task but today I recall the Librarian and realize I now have what I always wished for, a rubber stamp.

So the other day I was checking my facebook and like an old man was apparently checking out the people on the�flirtable application.� So he like clicked on like the yes button like I am flirtable or whatever and it's like OLD PEOPLE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THESE THINGS!!� That's just like not right...at all.� I've had an old man come up to my mom and I in the gym and told us that we knew how to shake our butts.� He kept on checking us out after that and then my mom gave him a nasty stare and he left us alone.� I really wanted to curse that guy out so bad.� I mean that's just like not cool.� They should go after old ladies with wrinkly skin who they think are hot not my mom and I!� Old people have to realize that once they look all wrinkley and shriveled up that nobody is going to go for them anymore!!

All alone 2

This weekend I had my friend over and thinking that I wouldn't feel like shit and still I do. This really sucks and I don't know how to get me out of this mess. My heart breaks more and more. I cut my wriste to help with some of the pain that is my heart because I admitte it I fucked up. Everything is my fault I try being nice and calem and it just back fires in my face. I want Joshua Noel Martinez from Yonkers, New York. I just want him I don't care how I get him. I can change for him anything I have to do.

I will even kill myself if he doesn't come back since I am about 7 months with his kid and he know.

What needs simplifying

My relationships need simplifying....with family and personal. I should drop the personal since I caught him cheating. Family is a different matter. However, keeping to myself works pretty good.

诺诺的第一步

今天又是一个值得纪念的日子。3月25日,诺诺会走路了。

记得阳阳也是苦练了很久也不会走,那时候,每天早上,爸爸妈妈就带着阳阳到楼下去学走路。正好邻居家的大爷在遛狗,于是就出现了我爸爸妈妈遛孩子的场景,一根学步带,前面是个小孩,再前面就是那只小狗。。。。可是苦练也没有用,直到有一天,我出门烫头发,回来一开门,阳阳看到了不一样的妈妈,拍着手掉头就走,于是就自己会了。

那诺诺是受啥刺激呢?估计是北北的功劳。北北是朋友的女儿,比诺诺大8个月,可是个头娇小,极有女孩子的韵味。来到咱们家,看到了大块头诺诺,一时懵了,总是要叫‘姐姐’,怎么纠正都拧不过来。而诺诺也对小姐姐表示出了极大的好感,屡次想用满是口水的小嘴去亲北北,都被北北拒绝了。估计她一定在想‘太伤自尊了!’于是,接下来的几天,发奋图强,学会了走路。每天N个往返跑,就不信减不了肥!

呵呵,一个刚学会走路的孩子,真是可爱,像个喝醉了的鸭子,要是她一直不长大,一直这样陪在我们身边,多好!

March 23,2007- Niice Phrases

Here are some quotes i have found/ read... Some of Them are pretty coolioz.

Best Friends
Friends ask why you're crying, but best friends already have
the shovel to bury the meani who made you cry.


Females
Every girl needs her own special to feel beautiful. Whether this day is everyday, once a month, or one day, she doesn't need a
man to tell her she's special.

True Friends
A true friend sees the first tear, catches the second one, and
stops the third tear.

Who Matters?
There comes a point in your life when you realize who really
matters, who never did, and who never will.

Love Hurts
Love is giving someone the ability to hurt and crush you, and
trusting them not to.

I Promise
I promise I'll never forget the day we kissed, or the day we met.
The sky may fall and the stars my too, but in the end, I will still
love you.

First Sight
When I first saw you, I was afraid to meet you.
When I first met you, I was afraid to kiss you.
When I first kissed you, I was afraid to love you.
Now that I love you, I'm afraid to lose you.

I Do
If you're asking if I need you, the answer is forever.
If you're asking if I'll leave you, the answer is never.
If you're asking what I value, the answer is you.
If you're asking if I love you, the answer is I do
