| free ipod...help a sista out. |
[Feb. 24th, 2005|12:53 am] |
hello...I've read up on several articles and it seems this is 1 of the only real legit companies that actually sends out these free ipods...I've spoken to several people online who say and have proven that they have actually gotten their ipods...i figured its worth a try...just wanted to pass this on...all you have to do is complete one offer and reffer 5 friends... some of the offers are free...some for one dollar and some are memberships like BMG, Columbia house, and Blockbuster Video...you only have to do one...it doesn't matter which...but just remember ONLY ONE PERSON PER HOUSEHOLD MAY ENTER so if you are planning on getting family refferals give a different family members address. please click on my link if you're interested in trying this out so i can get a refferal...sorry...hope ur not annoyed by this but i really think this one is worth it.
just so you know why I believe its legit...here are the articles i found...
this article in particular broke it down realistically...and i actually had a bad experience with the other "incentiverewardcenter" site that the writer downs in this article and everything he said was exactly right on about what happened with them...so from his testimony and the average people i spoke to.. i think this just may be the real thing. http://www.boston.com/business/personaltech/articles/2005/02/21/that_free_ipod_wont_come_easy/?rss_id=Boston+Globe+--+Business+News

fuck! I've done it again! I've put myself in a position where somebody likes me, like possibly even bigtime! I am unavailable and gahhhhhhhh.... when am I gonna learn to stop making friends and just live in a hole my whole life. Every time i make a connection with someone of the opposite sex it turns out to be the kind that can be poison to a relationship. As i was saying in an earlier conversation...I'm sick of being in religious limbo...and I'm sick of being in emotional limbo too...I need stability and I don't want to jeaopardize what I have...even though it's not exactly the most perfect setup to the naked eye...but why in the hell can't i be happy with what i have AND be a totally up front and friendly, cool person to talk to without jeapordizing my relationship / future... i feel like an effing hermit...a lepper... like a bad infection. Please god, please... just let things go smoothly for me... lead me not into temptation but deliver me from evil. I just want to be a good person and not hurt anyone in the process. |

You're all about the music. Not too incredibly
mainstream, but not too incredibly underground.
It's awfully hard for anyone to oppose you,
seeing as how you rule.

ahhh.... where do i begin? Well...I quit my job after 3 years. It was a totally unplanned thing so now I'm going to work in retail for a while until I can get my shit together and figure out what the next step is. It's funny though. As soon as I quit...I felt AMAZING! I have not felt so happy in a long time. No more stress. Even the people I see are all telling me I look different, that there is a glow about me and I seem happy. I have been doing yoga, playing computer games, playing monopoly and putting together puzzles with my boyfriend. Just simple things that I never did before and It's just totally changed my frame of mind. I am looking forward to starting work soon though. Starting to get bored being home alone. I will be working at express...so even though its not where I thought I would end up... A) its accross the street from my house B) I will be saving money from not having to travel c) I have a good chance of getting promoted within 1 month and getting more money and hours and benefits because of my experience. D) uhhhhhhhh can we say DISCOUNT! E) I get to build up my wardrobe for wherever I may go next and finally F) ITS ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE! I seriously think leaving that job was the best thing I could have done...financially, for my own sanity and also for my relationship. oh, my best friend moved across the parking lot from me (she's preggo with my godchild :o) ) and my other close friend / ex co-worker is getting married next month and moving into her own place with her fiance...my aunt is pregnant....sheesh...who's next? |

Ahhh my first chance to sit down and just have "ME time". Today was a somewhat hectic day with work, and traveling all over the place to pick up my bro and bring him back home and then coming straight home into the kitchen to cook. I'm exhausted. I'm in one of my moods too...where I just feel totally confused about my life...not depressed...just confused. I just don't know if I'm going down the right path. But i'm not gonna let it bother me so much anymore. I know what i need to do now when i get in those moods. Just turn on my music, relax and let everything go. No more worrying. I'm just gonna trust myself. what a novel concept!
there is one thing though, that is kind of staying on the back of my mind. Mr. unmentionable. Well, I talk to him ...and while we do sort of flirt in a minor way online...he just really seems distant and not interested in anything beyond the minor flirting. Of course I've never asked him or let him know exactly just how much I consider him as someone who could be just a bit more in my life. But thats also because I'm not single and I feel horrible for even thinking this way. Not that joes been such a great boyfriend...but i almost feel like I'm cheating on him just for even thinking about Mr. unmentionable. *Deep breath, puts the volume up* ok, letting it go... god i worry too much. |

here are some new but not so great piks
 
errr so me and joe got back together a week after the breakup... things are going ok now but its still not perfect and i pretty much made it clear to him that If he doesn't get his shit together SOON ...I WILL leave his ass.
Besides that everything is the same... works been pissing me off because we have a new employee who asked to use my computer since she said the laptop we originally gave her to use was "too small and she was too old to see it" so she ended up using my comp for the day...and somehow she managed to take over my computer, desk, chair, headset, phone ...and even my stapler! my boss thanked me for "being a team player" pffft I'm not a damn team player...I'm just trying my hardest not to fly off the handle and kill someone coz i am seriously pissed! now i'm stuck with an old computer that crashes...how tf am i supposed to do graphics work on that? my desk isn't even a desk... its a round lunch room / conference table...my chair is old as sin and doesn't even support my whole back.
oh, and she actually went and told my boss that one of the customers I had contacted was "such a good friend" of hers and got my boss to give her the customer exclusively...i swear...i wanted to stab her in the eye.
anyway... everything else has been pretty boring...all work and no play...but my half brother did come in from puerto rico 2 weeks ago...I hadn't seen him in like 5 years. He's sleeping over this weekend :o) |

well he's done it again. Tuesday night after i thought my day couldn't get any worse...silly me... it did. Joe broke up with me for the second time in two months. I just... I'm an emotional roller-coaster. I'm fine and empowered one minute and just completely insanely depressed the next. I feel like I'm in a twilight zone when i hear the same things i heard not even six months ago. The thing that scares me the most is that this time...I feel like I have to move on completely. Which means everything I've believed for the past 3 and a half years was wrong. I tried everything...love, understanding, honesty, praying to god...I just really swore this was the one time something would go right for me. Sometimes I feel like god is just having a jolly old laugh at my expense...giving me a taste of happiness and taking away while laughing at how i could be so naive to think that i could possibly have happiness in my life.
Why have i been taken advantage of my whole life? I can't help but begin to believe its my own fault. I must be doing something wrong. Can being too nice really bring this much pain? |

roiiiight...so um the night before last...i kind of peed on myself. LMFAO yeah... it was that kind of night...i had a few drinks...not even alot...but they were ultimates from tgiFridays. I was out with my mom and 2 of her coworkers drinkin munchin out n chatting it up. So whatever, we're ready to leave and catch our train home. I get on the train and I'm like damn I really gotta pee. Now, just for the record...I normally DO NOT use LIRR bathrooms, but this was a special case...and it was a new train so it wasn't so bad. I did my thing, whatever. We had to change in jamaica and when we changed all of a sudden I had to go AGAIN! but this time it was an older train and me and my mom both agreed it probrably was in my best interest to hold it...so I did. Heh, well uhhh... we get off the train and I believe my exact words were "mah...puhlease...hold up I REALLY GOTTA GO!" and she's trying to talk me out of it like "oh the waiting room is closed come on lets just go home...so I'm like "no you don't understand...like its bad...ok ok ...we'll go to the gas station accross the street" so she tries to tell me again that I can hold it and just wait til we get home and laughing at how silly I'm being...and as I'm mid sentence in telling her its a bad situation...I had a sudden rush of relief... and at that point...it felt so good to let go ...I felt like ...well I already started...fuck it...might as well just go all the way.
So there I was in my 90 sumthin dollar skirt all pissed out...oh man...and I look down at my skirt and of course it was wet...but i'm like eh...i live a block away ...no big deal right? but then i take a look at the back of my skirt....oy... a big ass ass print. so I'm walkin with a shopping bag covering my ass, barely able to cross the street coz I can't stop bursting out in laughter. FOR THE RECORD...i HAVE NEVER PISSED MYSELF BEYOND MY CHILDHOOD YEARS (except for this incident...cut me some slack hmmmk)
so yeah...joe now calls me peepee rodriguez...fancifull isn't it. whatever...it's a memory.
besides that... my company is being sued for copyright infringement...even though in the fashion industry those laws really don't apply. |

jeeze, I'm so sorry I neglect my own journal so much...not that I even think anyone ever reads it. ::shrugs::
well things have really been rough for me lately. My current job is basically putting me further and further into debt. I've been looking for a job but it's alot harder than its ever been for me to get a job in the past and that alone is making me insecure lately. So, besides the fact that I'm in debt and can't seem to get a better job...my relationship is also on the rocks. I mean, joe seems to think he can say "just relax it'll get better" and it will magically happen...but as many times as i cry and pour my little heart out the next day its back to the same old arguements about how he's constantly sleeping and then after I have to watch him snore for 3 hours he'll get a call from a friend asking if he's goin out to chill and suddenly he's awake and in a rush to get going. not to mention that I'm never invited...but thats another story.
I'm not saying names but on thursday I got to see someone that I have had an UBER crush on since high school (summer school to be exact). It was the first time in a very long time that I actually got butterflies in my stomach and was filled with excitement. I got giddy! That person and I just basically hugged a bit n thats all...but man...it certainly did stay on my brain for a while...it still is. He's so damn hot! and the way that he's just so smooth with his words is just ugh...ok ...i think i need to change the subject real soon...
I've even thought...what If me and joe just threw in the towel and I tried to build a close friendship possibly more with this unmentionable person...but I can't help but feel that he might not be able to accept me when I have to tell him about my sickness (no, It's not life threatening) but still... it's something I would have to tell him. and joe never cared about that... he made it clear that he thought I was worth any risk. It sucks because I truley do love joe...and I know he loves me too...but as I've been learning lately...love is not always enough and things just aren't going so well. Theres no excitement, no spontineity, no romance anymore. I'm starting to feel like the ragged housewife who cooks and cleans and takes care of all his important paperwork ...but ...if I'm gonna play the role of the wife...WHERE THE HELL IS MY RING?!?!?!?!
FOR INSTANCE: i just cooked dinner for him... I let him sleep and propped up the bed for him and chilled the room for him before he went in it so he could sleep comfortably... i go to wake him to tell him dinner is ready...and he falls back asleep 3 times...finally i go and shake his leg and he jumps up with a fist like he's going to hit me. I mean ...he's never actually hit me before (besides just shaking the shit out of me) but its that agression that I hate about him. I worked so hard to make his favorite sesame jack chicken strips from scratch and i get aggression when i try to wake him up?!?! wtf! and then after eating while I'm doing dishes he ups and leaves to go pick up weed.
Just the fact that i got so excited at the sight of someone other than joe makes me think theres alot more to the problems in our relationship that we may be overlooking... i mean ... not that I turned into a whore or anything but i guess you could say I was flirtations with the "unmentionable person" ...like I hugged him and didn't let go for like 3 minutes lol (did that seem despirate for affection? hahaha!)whatever...it's been 3 and a half years i guess I can wait this out just a little bit longer and see what happens. It makes me sad to think something that started out so stong and stood strong for so long could just die out like that. but I won;t say it's dead yet...time will tell i guess. |

what an uneventful day. I really can't stand living alone with my mom anymore. At first I thought hey It'll be cool...she needs the help, I cant afford to be on my own...we can be like roomates. Oi, her lover annie came over again this weekend...the minute she came in on friday she walked straight into my moms bedroom and closed the door. is it just me or is that fucking flakey? well anyway...later on I'm layin on the couch with joe watchin the hockey game and we hear 3 quick sighs and some moans. I know joes been around for over 3 years...but HOW FUCKING EMBARASSING! he knew I was embarassed too coz he kept trying to assure me "i think its just the dogs...yeah you know... dogs sometimes sigh like that" ...Yeah...OH KAY! me n joe had a good weekend just chillin this weekend...but something just isn't right. Ever since our breakup and us getting back together I don't feel the same. I'm not as excited as I used to be, I get these horrible moodswings, I'm easily irritated...but I do love him...more than anything. I just hope all of this passes.
well...I hafta be at work early tomm...I'm off... |

Long time no type. been working on more bags, planning to go to brooklyn and sell them at this boutique "m space" next week. It's hard to have motivation when people around you are just completely lazy. I always wondered to myself...why is it that every time I get close to a good opportunity I back down with the excuse of "wanting to prepare more" or Think through my options before I make a career altering decision. I'm begining to think that maybe it has nothing to do with preparation... or decision making. Maybe I'm just flat out afraid of failure...Or maybe I'm actually afraid of success. The thing that scares me the most is i really think I'm afraid of success. I'm afraid of "what comes next" ...but WHY?
I've come so far and been so motivated for so long... so why would i let these feelings of insecurity slow me down?
I think that although me and joe are back together...our month apart gave me a swift kick in the ass and showed me that I need to get going and do something with my life. I was so comfortable with the promises of marriage and a future together that I just took for granted that he would always be there and between his financial growth in plumbing and my creativity and motivation...my dream to open up my own boutique could easily be a reality... But now I know... I need to secure that possibility with ...or without him.
I guess I shouldn't be so hard on myself... I've seen a few people I went to high school with recently... and I had felt like such a bum for choosing not to go to college, but the truth of it is... I'm happy with my decision. These people spent shitloads of their parents money to go to school and have nothing to show for it... no jobs, no money, no motivation in life. I'm just glad I do have the motivation to go and do what needs to be done for me to climb the ladder to success.
I need to think of better ways to market without spending a fortune. |

Hello!
I am an Up and coming Designer here in New York. Right now I work in the Fashion industry for an evening handbag company. When I was young I would always cut up fabric and sew together new barbie clothes and handbags and such. I have always been into fashion for as long as I can remember and now that I actually work in the industry it has given me the drive to take it further. Since Working in the industry I have met several handbag Designers and trimmers including the likes of the well known designers of mooroo handbags, secret garden new york, paulette/ letty, and many more. After toying around with my own designs and Ideas and then seeing what some of the other ridiculous prices other's were selling their bags for...I finally said "I can do that! I can do it, and I can do it better!". Really my dream was to put forth original styles and bring the fun back into fashion, while working towards my goal of owning my own business...while making things that were special and one of a kind but not so ridiculously priced that only the richest of celebrities could buy them. I want people to be able to buy my item as a treat to themselves and get the same feeling of walking down that red carpet...without clearing out their bank accounts. With that dream ... My new line of Meloyellow handcrafted handbags was born.
http://www.meloyellow.com
Stay tuned! You haven't seen ANYTHING yet!
please tell me what you think... the items on my site are some of the first bags I've made....so expect to be very impressed over the next few months now that I'm getting more experienced and daring! |

ok ok so I've been a bit lazy lately...But I will redeem it with a good entry you might like to read.
Well ... All that jazz about the dave matthews band concert tickets???
heh ...well... I kinda cheated and bought a pair from someone who couldn't make it. MY GOD what an amazing show! I can't recall the exact order of the playlist but he started with don't drink the water and of course after he "closed out" played 3 more songs including say goodbye. It really was amazing and the band played so perfectly as usual.
My sis moved out so I now have my own room ... its so roomy and cozy with my pumpkin pie and apple pie candles. I love the setup now. It also helps me have my own space where i can work on my bags whenever I wants...so I finished a new cigar box bag and am also working on some sewing projects including glass pipe pouches, felt reversible bags and pillows. I think my next project will be a nightmare before christmas felt bag in black with jack's face on it.
I've been feeling so good and homely I actually just baked a cocoa ripple coffee cake from scratch!
I also found some really good handmade items on ebay. They both sell handmade goods on ebay...
primitive fixins homemade candles: has Pie candles in scents like apple pie, pumpkin vanilla, strawberry rhubarb and more ...also has mug candles in "camper's delight smores" with graham cookie shaped wax, and marsmallow shaped wax in a mug of chocolate "cocoa" wax . Those Candles smell heavenly and the maker is super friendly to boot... I love supporting hand made artisans and goods. check out her stuff!

Candyhead homemade Shampoo: Homemade shampoo in heavenly scents like amaretto, pumpkin pie, apple pie, bubble gum, chocolate fudge and more! great lather... this sampoo actually really brought out my curls

Blah. I just woke and feel so lazy! I woke up to check my ebay and that damn "elle" cigar box purse has not sold...Again! :o/ The slower the business the more lazy I get.
I've been reading "under the tuscan sun" in a hurry to finish it before the release of the movie. My father had given me the book years ago when it first came out and i neglected to read it only to find it became a bestseller and now has a movie on the way. It's funny because I now find myself looking at homes that aren;t in the best of shape to be renovated, window shopping for mediterrainean style cookware and baking. Just yesterday I baked Pumpkin cheesecake pie...mmmm.
I'm so pissed about all this dave matthews band jumble... it's like playing wheres waldo...and dave and his promotion crew should know ...new yorkers have no time to play these little wheres waldo games. I have therefore now been introduced to the bloodsport of buying tickets on ebay...sucker waited to the very last minute to outbid me by 1 effing dollar! I think I'm ready to put up the white flag and give up.
I'll update more later I have so much to do!!! |

I have started making my own cigar box purses and handcrafting eveningbags by trimming them with flowers feathers etc. PLEASE NOTE* The prices on my site are said to be a little higher than most people in these communities would like to pay...I understand that. My prices are posted high for boutique selling purposes (no one likes to sell a product you can get cheaper directly from the maker) So, If you are interested in buying a bag on my site...simply email me at info@meloyellow.com with the item name and the phrase "livejournal purchase" and I will be glad to give you a better price. Thanks!
The site is http://www.meloyellow.com
If you get any errors please report them...I will be correcting all errors within the next week as I am working on a new layout. |
