I was goin to post about something that was simi serious but I received harsh critisism b/c he wants "entertainment." Well, I hope this will do.
AT&T has a promo video with Deion Sanders titled "How I'm Livin." It is a inside look at how superstars are living with their expensive cars, luxurious swimming pool, and stacked shoe collection. Well I am no superstar, I sure don't party like a rockstar, but I do drive a Lincoln, so maybe that fits...
So here is how IM LIVIN:

- Tom Brady
- Cyclone (...she moves her body like a...)
- Bio Freeze
- Raisen Bran Crunch
- Sprint Texting (compared to Nextel)
- Fleece's

Hmmm...Not so Much:
- Dip

- Hilary Clinton for President??
- Upward Cheerleaders (Honestly?)
- Dustin Coleman Look-a-like
- Rodney Harrison & Wes Welker

A Night Full of Mom's...
Thought I was gunna forget right? Never. My slogan is: never on schedule but always on time. And that is oh so true!
As this constant cycle of blogs continues to swing in full motion. I will gradually reveal certain aspects of my lustrous life. Well, not really reveal, but at least share events that occur in my daily encounters.
So today's unveiling is...my job. I work for the YMCA at Julius Marks and Glendover Elementary, which is basically a day care with a slight educational aspect. The job itself really isn't a long exciting description, it is the unplanned events that occur that make the job so crazy. Most college people despise kids, so i realize I am defiantly an outcast. But I really enjoy what I do which is basically an easy-going, "STRESS FREE" job (hey i even have a ringtone to go along with my job). With an emphasis on "STRESS FREE". These kids may get rowdy but its not a stressful job by any means. So understanding that this is NOT a stressful job, I have a great story! (This is where the title comes into play...) Since my job is thro the YMCA and I basically get half my income thro the government because I work in the public school system, we have required "classes" to make sure our training is up-to-date. For example, a couple weeks ago I had a simple online orientation, asking me all kinds of ridiculous questions. Like: "Should I ask kids for money?" and "Am I a rapist?" and "What should I do when a child is bleeding?" and my favorite "Should I talk about the child's parents in a sexual manner?" So that's why I am getting paid the big bucks. That one was online but yesterday I attended in person. When I signed up for this class it was called "Stress/Conflict" and I (as well as fellow coworkers) assumed it was Stress in kids and how they cope with it. (but you know what assumin' does?) But WOW was I ever in for a rude awakening! I had arrived about 20 mins early and was one of the first few people there in the lounge. I was expecting this class to deal with kids. Well, I was chillin' at a table by myself waiting on my coworkers when I realize that every person coming thro those doors gave me the weirdest looks. Each person just so happened to be a female over the age of 25 or maybe even 30. I was thinking "Am I in the right place?" So as the class begun to fill up I realized there were 3 guys in this entire room of about 40-50 women. Me, Jordan (coworker who is the same age as me) and a gay...check that 2 guys in the entire joint with about 43 older ladies. I was so so confused!! But I got the exact answer I was afraid to hear within the first 30 seconds of this training. This was no class for kids, This class was for MOMS! Yes, middle aged moms coping with stress. So not only am I blown away at this huge mistake but I had to sit right next to the instructor who is constantly bringing me up on stage and using me as an example! I was so ticked! I wasn't even embarrassed, just really uncomfortable. I couldn't help but laugh at all these powerpoint slides, I mean these moms must be borderline suicidal and I don't say that lightly. These ladies were literally serious and intent on learning how to overcome the daily struggles of a mother! I was in completer disarray. I left absolutely speechless. Maybe you had to see the scenario to really laugh but geeze it was brutal!
