Random thoughts of the week

I know I haven't been as attentitive to my blogger fans lately, but I hope this entry more than makes up for my lack of inspiration. This blog is dedicated entirely to this week’s thoughts and events.

Powderpuff is a Sport! I play powderpuff. What, you may ask, is Powderpuff? It is one of the most intense, female-only sports known to human kind. It is basically flag football but it is also a way of life and a community. Powderpuff brings together girls from different fields of study to form a team, and eventually a friendship. It is very competitive and raw, but at the same time there is this level of respect for your team-mates and coaches, and on the rare occasion, the opposing team. Girls push, punch, run, twirl, tackle and grab, basically whatever it takes to block the opposing team from scoring a touchdown. It is rough. Powderpuff is not for the weak (minded or physically). Powderpuff players also know how to party after the games are over.

Job Hunting sucks.
For some reason, in the middle of January, I have to worry about a summer job. Today alone, I had to fill out an application for a job with the City of Barrie; I received an e-mail from my Aunt with a website for a company in which one of her friends works for, and an e-mail from my mom with a phone number for the York Region OPP to ensure that they received my resume. Honestly, job hunting sucks. I know I will get a good job because it's not what you know, but who you know. And I know a lot of people. And I feel as if I'm going to be accepted to all of these jobs and then I'll have to make a decision. I'm not being cocky, but people tend to help people they like out, and my Aunt and my parents are all in good standings with their clients and friends. I guess the most difficult thing is that I don't know if I am being hired because I am qualified for the positions or because this person happens to like my Father/Aunt/Mother ect. I should use this as an advantage, but I can't help but wonder what will happen if I mess up, or don't like the job. Will this change the person's view of my family and hinder future business plans? I just hope I'm good enough.

"And when I'm gone, just carry on.
Don't mourn, Rejoyce everytime you hear the sound of my voice.
Just know that I'm lookin down on you and smiling.
And I didn't feel a thing so baby don't feel no pain.
Just smile back."
- Eminem

"It started when we were younger.
You were mine. My boo...
Now another girls taken over but it's still in your eyes.
Even though we used to argue, it's alright.
I know we haven't seen eachother in a while, but you will always be my boo."
-Usher and Alicia Keys

"Smile for me Daddy.
Whatcha Lookin at?
I wanna see your Grillz!
You wanna see my What?
Your, your grillz. Your, your, your Grillz."
- Nelly

Finally! I thought you'd died (in the blogging world) or something...

I don't think you should worry about your job stuff so much. Sure interviews and job hunting suck, but by the sound of it these jobs are kind of falling onto your lap... and we both know you are a hard worker so whatever job you decide on you'll work your ass off. You couldn't disapoint your employer if you tried.

Love ya ;)

You are one tough mama! I always wanted to play Powder Puff, but something tells me I would get ripped apart. I'll leave you to the nose breaking ;)
