Two days off isn't enough

It REALLY isnt.

So today Brandon and I went to see Hamelt 2. It was alright. Jo Blo gave it 9/10, but I honestly don't think it was anything THAT good. It was more of a slapstick humor, which I'm really not a big fan of. Gotta love that Sexy Jesus song, though.

Speaking of Jesus, I've really been contemplating religion lately. I've been trying to wrap my head around a couple of things...hmm how to I put this correctly. I was thinking about the Mormon religion, because it's one of those religions that I don't understand. Well that's not fully true. I understand what they believe, but I don't understand how anyone COULD believe it.

Ok, so if you don't really know a lot about the Mormon religion, you can Google search it or Wikipedia Search it...I'll try to do my best to explain *what I don't understand* without butchering the religion.

Mormonism was founded by a man named Joseph Smith. Joseph had visions, starting at the age of 14. When he went to his minister to explain these visions, he was basically told that visions did not exist, and that there would be no more of them, and that they were of the devil. During his youth, he participated in Treasure Hunts using "seer stones". These stones were put into hats and then one would look inside the hat and block out the light, then attempt to locate the treasure by seeing information on the stone. They were just ROCKS, but I would assume that they had some sort of personal significance.

Smith claimed that he was visited by an angel named Moroni, who told him the location of a book inscibed on golden plates that was buried in the ground. This book would tell the story of the "Israelites" of America and how God dealt with them. So, Smith dug up these golden plates and used his hat and his seer stones to translate them. ONLY Smith was allowed to translate the plates and view them.

So if you're not following, A GUY USED A HAT AND A ROCK TO WRITE THE BOOK OF MORMON WITH GOLDEN PLATES DUG UP FROM THE GROUND THAT ONLY HE COULD SEE.

And there you have it, from there stemmed the Mormon religion and everything else that follows.

So, when a Mormon knocks on my door and asks me if I'd like to learn and join the following of their chuch...IT TAKES SO MUCH OF MY PERSONAL STRENGTH NOT TO GRAB THEM BY THE SHOULDERS AND SHAKE SOME SENSE INTO THEM.

But I can explain this homemade religion phenomenon. That's right.

In today's society, people follow other's mostly because they're famous. Think about it...how many big rock bands have huge "religious" followings? How many celebrities have their own convect of people? In order to make something of yourself you have to be known, you have to be famous. We do it today with movies and music and political statements, etc etc.

So how do you do it in the 1700s?

YOU MAKE UP YOUR OWN RELIGION!! People believe it, you gather followers...Joseph Smith is forever burned into history. He was a 1700s rock idol.

...Sorry if I offended anyone. BUT MAYBE I CHANGED YOUR BELIEFS!!

I need to commit more...

This Ops Mgr job is killing my blogging. And World of Warcraft isn't helping.

Hero's season 2 just came out on DVD yesterday. Brandon and I are waiting until Friday to watch it so we can power through.

There's really nothing going on. My life is boring. I can't blog about things that happen at work because most of it is confidential. But I am 19 on the scorecard, and that's nothing less than sweet.

I'm gonna eat some food.

Shawoop

I haven't blogged in a while as I find myself a lot busier than usual... And I've been playing WoW again.

Anyway, here's my douche bag story of the day:

George Laroque came into the store yesterday and bought 2 movies and a Coke Zero. He doesn't even wait for his subtotal, he just throws $50 at a random cashier and says "thanks" and walks out. Turns out the total is $52. He is now officially a douche bag.

A Summary of My Day at Work

*my phone rings*
Customer Service Rep: "A customer wants to talk to a manager at the bridge."
Me: "Ok"

2 minutes later...
Me: "HI! How can I help you?"
Customer: "YOU'RE the manager?"
Me: "...Yes." *points at nametag*
Customer: "Well then. I want to talk to YOUR manager!"
Me: "I am the only manager you can talk to."

ITS BECAUSE IM A GIRL.

The Holiday

What a lovely movie.
I know, it's not nearly close to Christmas...but a girl needs a little TV romance in her life once and a while. I don't really have a lot to write about lately...

We went to Montana's tonight. It was good, but it wasn't GREAT or AMAZING. I don't know if I would go back. I think my problem is that I just LOVE italian food. Nothing compares to a good carb loaded pasta.

I'm getting my hair done tomorrow. It shall be fabulous...and I need it.

Olympics

Canada hasn't won anything yet, but I'm sure we're all keeping our fingers crossed. I'm watching 10m synchronized diving. It makes me want to go swimming. China is kicking some serious ass.

Work is making blogging a lot harder. I'm so tired after a 10hr day I don't want to type ANYTHING.

Canada finished 7th. Psh. OH HEY CHINA WON GOLD. BIG SURPRISE THERE.

It's still an organ harvesting communist country. They probably threaten their athletes with death if they don't win gold. Maybe Canada should try that.

IM SO TIRED

Its 5:41am.
I am at work.
And I'm off in 19 minutes...ish.

Im sooo freaking tired. My fingers hurt. AND THIS STUPID HEADCOUNT BOARD IS ONLY HALF DONE. :(

I had a dream last night...

...that my parents had another baby. It was named Sabrina and it looked like a purple crayola marker. Literally. A purple crayola marker wrapped in a blanket.

My dreams are the shit.

Back to work

Today was my first day at 934. It was actually pretty good!! The store is very busy (although they all thought it was dead) and I ran my ass off all day. Rep 1, rep 2, they're always packed with people. I couldn't just stand there and let the line grow and grow and grow... I had to help!! I worked 1130-9 and I'm pooped.

I suck at eating well. I just ate a huge piece of cake. OMG that damn cake is so good. Then I had some edam cheese. We bought a huge ball of it, and I must say it smells kind of like feet...but doesn't taste like feet. I guess that's the thing with cheese. It stinks but it tastes delicious.

Speaking of delicious, the Activia yogurt is really good!! It's also really good for your pooping too.

God I'm so hungry. I haven't eaten since 230. Besides the cake and the cheese and the yogurt...I better slow down. Anyone know a good personal trainer?

My Talking Stain

My fav commercials everrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!


Now there was a tide-to-go contest...here's some entries.

HOME!

We got home yesterday at around 8pm. God damnit, I'm so sick of driving. It's impossible to get comfortable and it's like the 11 hours NEVER end...until they do.

The family reuinion was interesting. I hardly knew anyone. There was a drunk named Tom and he was totally baked out of his mind. I don't know where he fits in with my Mom's side...I think he was one of the bazillion foster kids she had in her house when she was growing up. I think that's what most of the people there were. After the family reunion we had a lot of fun getting wasted with my aunt and other random relatives. Good times...very sort of white trash though. A little TOO white trash if you ask me. But we stayed at the ECONO LODGE so how could we resist? I wish I had my "spicy number" shirt. It had a happy taco on it.

We went shopping today because we had nothing but ichiban soup and pancake mix in the house, and yeah...we spent $185!! Haha...no shopping for like four weeks. None!

Tonight I made tortellini in a rose sauce with garlic bread and caeser salad for dinner. It was delish. I'm not a chef, I'm just a chick with a lot of pots, pans and knives. Oh and good taste.

OH OH and Brandon and I made a cake. Brandon mixed it and I put it in the oven. I also iced it. Im pretty excited to eat it, but i need to sit off all that pasta. My couch ass groove will assist me with that.

I think I might look into a personal trainer this fall. I just need someone to beat me down and tell me I'm out of shape.

i cant remember what day it is

All I know is that I didn't blog yesterday.

We went to Kelowna (my future home as soon as Best Buy opens a Kelowna store) and shopped around. We saw the X-Files movie which was totally creepy in an awesome way. Its been ho-hum weather these past couple of days but it sure beats Deadmonton.

Oh yeah and we won $5 via lotto 6/49. Yay!

Today at 1130am we decided "we're getting drunk!"...and drunk we got. We went back to that Pasta place for lunch and drank 2 pitchers of Sangria ($32), each had lunch ($25), an appetizer (best $5 ever) and dessert ($7, tirimasu cheese cake!!) Which after taxes and tip came to like $75!! Bling bling.

Needless to say I was wasted. What's a great activity for drunkards? SHOPPING AT LIQUIDATION WORLD!! We bought a 7ft tall wooden giraffe!!


Then we came back to the hotel, and uh, slept. Slept off all that booze.

We were going to go parasailing and we wanted to go tandem, but the combined weight for tandem "right now" is 280lbs. Well uh, I'm a burly 127lbs and brandon is around 185ish...no dice.

Now we're getting ready to go get drunk again. AGAIN!!! Last night in Penticton and off to Merritt tomorrow for the family *gulp* reuinion...yay...there's maybe a handful of people there that I actually know.
