the exception to the rule

I saw the munchkin today. I can't say it enough how much of a smile he brings to my face. He really lights up my day, life, everything! I hate not seeing him for days at a time because he grows so fast. I feel like I'm missing out on all the firsts in his life. It gets me sad to think he's going to grow up without me. I know that's depressing, but I swear every thing I see him he's grown another inch or he's that much smarter and as amazing all those things are, I wish I was there more. I have to admit, there's nothing better to look at little man and see him smile. I remember when he was an itty bitty baby and I'd hold him in my arms and sing his lullaby "you're my honey bunch sugar plum umdi umdi umpkin, you're my sweetie pie. You're my cuppy-cake, gum-drop, shnookums, wookums, you're the apple of my eye." And he'd fall asleep in my arms with this smile on his face as-if he knew something I didn't know. I'm never going to forget those moments.

I got my hair cut at Ray's Barber shop in LA yesterday. If Urban Outfitters had a barber shop attatched to it, this place would definitely be it. All the hair stylist seemed really cool, speaking to all their customers and being in general pretty happy. Well, except for one of the stylist. She was tall and chubby, dark-haired, with this crazy looking glasses. She was the only one who didn't seem like she was enjoying her job and she was the only stylist I really didn't want. Mind you, I've been waiting for nearly 2 hours, I was a bit ancy and was just ready to go- and then it's my turn and when I look up it's the one person I didn't want. Why couldn't I got the gay guy? Or the VERY happy girl, or anyone else besides the one who looked bitter at the world? Just as I was contemplating whether or not I would ask for someone else, my brother's voice popped into my mind and said "everything happens for a reason." So I sucked it up and walked up when she called my name. Bad decision. Not that my hair looks bad or anything, but I could have gone somewhere in long beach and gotten the same thing done for a cheaper price. It was not worth the drive, nor was it worth the price. I left with a layered cut that doesn't really look different from what my hair already looked like. I am pretty bummed about that. :(

A similar thing happened today. Last week, I was told that I would be getting Ford Mustang as my rental car, not that I like the current models very much, but it's better than other cars they have available. I get to hertz this morning, and the customer service representative tells me that I have two choices, a ford focus or a grand prix. These choices are pretty damn sad, and as much as I hate the ford focus' I am now driving the one car I didn't want. So for the next two weeks I'm stuck driving one of the ugliest cars out on the market... They might as well given me the a xion.

Watched liar liar today in my comic spirit class... I love that class. :) We talked about why it was such a big deal for Janet Jackson to have shown her boob during the super bowl. I interjected my point of view, in front of a class of nearly 200 people, "the reason why it's such a big deal is because in the U.S. we're brought up to believe that the body is disgusting. If you were to travel anywhere else in the world, people worship and appreciate the body as beautiful." and my teacher said, "that's correct. If you went anywhere else, they would shrugg about and say 'it's just a little bit of chichi'" tee-hee. I am goooood and he is funny. It's true though, I don't have much confidence when it comes to my body. If I had to count all the different things I could change about my body, I would need a few more hands and another pair of feet.

YAY!! Incubus' CD comes out tomorrow. I couldn't wait and I already looked up some of the lyrics. It amazes me how people can actually encapsulate in words what they may feel about a person. These people are definately amazing lyricist and extremely talented. When I say this about incubus' lyrics it's mostly in reference to "I miss you" and "stellar"... Okay mostly "I miss you," but this isn't too shabby.

"here in my room"
This party is old and uninviting
Participants all in black and white
You enter in full blown technicolor
Nothing is the same after tonight

If the world had fallen apart
In a fiction worthy wind
I wouldn't change a thing
Now that you're here

Your love is a verb here in my room
Here in my room, here in my room

You enter and close the door behind you
Now show me the world as seen from the stars
If only the lights would dim a little
I'm weary of eyes upon my scars

Pink tractor beam into your incision
Head spinning is free
I came here expecting next to nothing
So thank you for being that kind of girl
