| Wow, Xanga.. Long Time! It has certainly been a minute. Is anybody still here? Have you all moved to that other blog site? Just thought I'd drop a line. All is well with me.. Hope the same goes for you too.. Laters.. (maybe in another year)  | | |
| I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again Today was supposed to be your birthday, but you're no longer here. I miss you.

| Superstitions..Ok, as much as I would like to deny it.. I'm quite superstitious.. I broke a mirror 2 days ago, and as I saw what I did.. The words "Seven Years of Baaaaaaaad Luck" kept repeating themselves in my head.. I quitely hoped, the last 2 years counted towards the 7 years..cos, I don't think I can deal with anymore bad years..I don't want to believe these things, but how do you stop knowing what you know.. Or stop believing what you believe.. A simple "superstitions are silly" won't cut it.. I wanna stop tossing pennies into fountains.. I don't wanna have this unnerving sense of alarm whenever a black cat crosses my path.. Or avoiding splitting a pole at all costs.. Or being extra careful on a13th day of the Month that happens to be a Friday.. Anyways, pray for me yall.. Prayer trumps superstitions abi? | | |
| I'm having a gloomy day.. Rainy days do that to me.. On days like this I am so down, I feel I may actually be depressed.. I get extremely sensitive and emotional.. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day.. | | |
| Crime and Punishment.
Is punishment the biggest deterrent of crime? I really think so. Many of us will commit the most atrocious of crimes, if we could get away with it. Why am I thinking about crime? I've actually got a petty crime in mind.. you know..something you'd probably pay a small fine for, or just get ridiculously embarrassed..nothing big o..OK..here's what happened..
The heat was killing me..So, suddenly, I realized I needed a new outfit..So off to the store I went. I get my outfit..I go to the fitting room. Gotta make sure it looks good.. And I am shocked to see a sign.. "This room is being monitored"..What does that mean? There's actually somebody sitting in some room, watching me take my clothes off..Is that legal? Anyways..I wasn't gonna leave without trying the outfit, so I went on ahead and tried it on..It looked nice, so I changed back to my clothes and off to checkout.. Now, I saw the lady scan my 3 items..I saw her do it, so when she tells me how much I owe, I'm surprised it's much less than I expected. My first thought was that something was on sale..So it was just my luck..But, I had to be sure..and that monitored room thing had me paranoid already, so, I checked my receipt.
Anyways, one of the items didn't scan. So here I was with a dilemma..Do I just walk out of the store like I am none the wiser or do I go back and pay for it? I went back to pay for it.. I explained to the cashier what happened and as she rang up the item.. she kept applauding my honesty.. and I couldn't help but laugh..
Here is why I went back to pay for the item.. Some months ago, I went to Walmart to buy a few things. Somehow, the cashier had forgot to ring up some item. But, it was like $5, so there wasn't a really big disparity. So, I honestly didn't notice. Anyways, I'm walking through the theft detection thingie and the alarm goes off.. A police officer is standing at the door. He asks to see my receipt and we discover that one of the items wasn't paid for. He asks if I want to go and pay for it..but since I really hate lines in Walmart, I decided to go without.. It wasn't my main reason for going there in the first place. I left the item behind, but the alarm kept going off whenever I walked through and I was thoroughly embarrassed.. I don't know if I imagined it, but they were actually looking at me like I was some kinda thief.. Over a $5 item..
Anyways, back to today..I was going to pretend like nothing was amiss.. More money in my pocket right? A couple of thoughts crossed my mind.. My conscience first of all.. It is very strong and I listen to it most of the time, but sometimes, I just ignore it.. What really made up my mind for me was the thought of that detection thing going off on me.. And that scene from Walmart all over again.. I couldn't take it.. So, I did the right thing.. I really wish it wasn't for the wrong reason. | | |
