Moving On Up!!!Literally moving on up! New Yawk I'll be calling home! As I mentioned in my 1st ever launch time blog I'm moving to Staten Island. Why you say? I don't really have a matter of fact answer but i'll break it down this way. Born and raised in wonderful Long Branch, NJ but a time comes when you're almost 40 freaking yrs old that you need a change. I've had so many trades that I always joke and say "I don't know what I want to be when I grow up" but in all honesty, I really don't know what the hell I wanna do! I love painting. Ive been painting since I was 18 for my moms old boss (yes, I've know him since I was 8, mom is a bad ass like me, apple didn't fall far) to me painting is therapeutic. It's rewarding to see how you can really transfer not only walls in a home or restaurants but furniture too! I paint everything, even bathtubs fuck it! Im great at it, what can I say! It's tiring though. Definitely takes a toll on the bod, especially ceilings....its a painters nightmare (well that and wallpaper). I have such a great crew though. Some I watched grow from what 18? 2 weeks ago we all just went to his wedding! Funny stories working on job sites with all dudes. That will have to be another blog because see as usual I go off topic.....Where was I? MOVING!!!
Bartending is a lot of fun for me. I'm great with people. I know your wife/husbands name, where the kids go to school, what car you just bought and importantly what you're drinking. I guess you can say I'm a people person with a great personality. I have to laugh a little cause at the same time people really just get under my skin but I'll smile at your ass, best believe! Everyone says bartend in the city you'll make so much money, but again it gets old quick. You burn out, especially if its at night. I don't wanna get home at 5am. I been there done that shit!....Where was I? MOVING!!! Did I mention I also do Real Estate? That is a shit ton of fun but so much work. Nothing is guaranteed in that field unless it closes and you have the check in your hand. Don't jinx it! Now NY I'll need a NY license, ugh well I gotta do what I gotta do. Unless I get paid for writing this blog and people advertise with me. What? One can dream!...Wait, where was I? MOVING!!! I was watching a friends home while he was "away" and was taking care of his dog for about 4 months. We weren't sure when he was coming back so obviously I couldn't look for an apartment not knowing when I would be able to move. He's back home thankfully and it's been, well not such a comfortable environment...ah off topic (def for another day, stay tuned for that one cause I'm heated) So I started looking for apartments around good ol' "Strong Branch", nothing! Saw a couple in Asbury Park, found a cute studio for a decent price but the area was a bit sketch. Not bad considering some parts of the hood are really bad but I didn't feel a good vibe. Leaving work, dressed in all black "like the omen" ah lil kim, thats a song, "in case you don't know now u know, N!$$@" Ah thats 2 in a row SON!! I really hope you guys can keep up with my head. I'm literally typing exactly how I talk so stay tune for commas everywhere,,,,,,,anyway, it's going to start getting dark at 5, I don't get off till 6:30. I would be a walking target. "Look at her, all black, service industry, she got money Yo!" I decided naaah! Then a friend said he knew someone who had an apt in a great area of Staten Island. It's literally right over the Outerbridge in Tottenville. Went and took a look and viola told them on the spot I'll be in by the 15th #thanks n #thanks I always wanted to like in New York City for at least a year and I guess now "I'm 1/2 way there" (oh Bongiovi, on a roll today) Gotta get my nails on and go tanning. So wish me luck peeps. I needed a change and I think this will be good for me. Hey you never know who you're gonna meet and where life will take you so I'm looking forward to my new chapter cause I'm MOVING ON UP! #SEND

Drama on the blockWhat an eventful evening! Mom and I are on our way to dinner last night for my sisters bday. She filled me in on 3 separate drama filled stories before we turned out of the neighborhood! I was specifically told not to blog about this or the people involved BUT.....let's just say a lot of criminal activities going down in a certain estate. Ugh how I want to type certain snippets but when I get famous from this :) they will all know who it's about! Eh, they'll probably be in jail by then anyway! Arson, extortion and crack heads OH MY! Just kidding, or not! When you think about certain people and hear things that go on you can't help but wonder "is this true?" "what really happened?" "who started this anyway?" Some people get caught up in this crazy world. I know I have! When people feel like they are backed up in a corner we tend to do some off the wall shit and don't really consider the consequences. You know its not right or ethical but we all do what it takes to get by, right or wrong?!? What a wonderful web we weave.
On another note....why are things so tough at times? Not making enough money, not being able to pay your bills on time or just get by. MOVING!!!! I've literally moved 7 times within this past year! 3 times alone in and out of my ex's place lol that was a freaking hoot! Its not a good feeling not being settled. When your shit is in boxes, you have a storage unit packed to the ceiling, animals at the families house and don't get me started with my car! I look like a hobo, well I don't look like a hobo cause I'm still cute but the car says differently! It's not just me, my sister is going through some of the same shit. She's thinking of just bouncing to NC, maybe not a bad idea! I would say Florida but thats just me and I have 2 childhood friends there already. Speaking of....my beotch is coming home for a couple weeks! Cant wait to see her! Its been too long. Ever have those friends that no matter how much time passes or you haven't seen or spoke to one another, you can pick right back up like no time has passed at all? Thats how we do! Damn I get so caught up and I still have to shower! Shit, late again! Peace out, scouts! #SEND EhhhhhToday is the day! Don't get excited, I'm just finally fixing my iPhone screen. Ive been white trash Barbie for far too long with this POS and the best part is I have absolutely no recollection of how this happened! It was back in July, yes I know I'm a procrastinator, went to Hoboken ( I could honestly just leave it at that lol) went from small, weak ass drinks, no napkin greet to thankfully knowing the owner very well and all attitudes changed after that! Napkins all day, drinks that made your eyes bulge to free shots of Don Julio ehhhhh! Now being a bartender, rule of thumb is to make eye contact, even if you're busy as hell, acknowledge me damn it! And I want my freaking napkin, it shows me that you know I'm there, I know you know I'm here but you'll be getting back to me soon and when u do you put my drink on the damn napkin I'm not a neanderthal (well I guess I was that night, hence epic fail for my phone). Long story not so short, I woke up and was like "dude, wheres my phone?" Screw you Hoboken no joking. We took are hung over asses out the door, through the garage and into the car to get fatty pork roll egg and cheese's (cause thats what we do in Jersey and yes its pork roll not taylor ham! It clearly states it on the roll of pork that its packed in! Grrr) Last one out bends down and picks up what looks like my phone and presents it like a scene out of The Lion King but the face on said person showed all in the car that is wasn't good. I yell with a sigh of relief because we didn't have to go back to the Boken! None of us remembered even being in the garage the night before so I'm thinking I was in my drunk and stupor trying to peace outta there due to a possible picking of a fight I may have started. When I'm drunk I like to prove a point. Although sometimes my points are not even close to valid but what can I say I like a challenge lol!
Brings us to today....Ive been trying to see where I can get a decent price on a screen. That shit is expensive! Im going in a hr to drop off the classless phone, I mean she's really making me look bad! I try to hide it and cover it when I check the time, its silly but you know when you see a person with a banged up phone you judge! You're thinking this person is a disaster, get your shit together, sheeesh! Don't even try to lie about it, I do and that is hilarious knowing I don't have a fucking clue how mine happened! So ill be a whole again soon then I'm taking it right to Verizon to upgrade to the new 7! I know what you're thinking. Why would she spend that money to go fix her phone then trade it in? Ill tell you why...it may take me months to finally say enough is enough but when I go I go BIG and I like shiny new things AND I deserve it! Rest in peace Miss 6+, we had a good run! The memories I must say Id actually like to leave there with you because last year was a big EHHHHH! May you go to a nice new owner who will not black out and I promise to take care of Mr. 7 and bet your ass Siri is going to have that British accent and call me Jamie Jamie Boo Baby! SHIT I'M LATE!!! #SEND |
