Whatelse, Whatelse

It's Friday! Another day another dollar. Sometimes I wonder why we even go through the motions. It seems that of all the rituals that exist in the world i.e. ants gathering food for the winter, ours seems the most tedious. You would think that as rational human beings we could come up with something better, but Nooooooooooooo, we have to come up with: work to make money, to buy stuff. Hey, what can I say, I guess somebody has got to do it.

I'm going to a boat party tonight, I went to one last week to and it was ok, I'm sure this one will be more lively as it's not a networking thing just a hang out thing with lots of spanish people on it. Not many plans for this weekend, just hang out and try to stay out of trouble. I am awesomely amped about my apartment so I really need to sit down and take a long hard look at my budget and stuff. Anywho, off I go, I have to get dressed now which is going to be a challenge since I am still at work. Toodles!

So as some of you know my yoga teacher closed the studio and moved to California, so I've been left yogaless, wondering about aimlessly with no place to practice regularly.

In my quest to find a new studio I frequented OmYoga last night down on 12th street. Biggest mistake ever!!!It seems as thought yoga is no longer a practice but is now a means to make money.

I went into the studio not expecting much (trying not to be judgemental and overly critical), the first thing I notice is that the reception area is outfitted with tons of t-shirts to sell (all of them with the word "Om" printed on it as though that will bring you peace and inner balance. So I brush it off hoping that the class would be awesome enough to make me ignore that. My shoes go into the massive clost where there is a sign that says "OmYoga is not responsible for the loss of stolen property" good thing to tell me when I'm leaving my flip flops here. Note: if people that frequent the studio were real "yogis" they wouldn't steal other people's stuff!!

On to the social, I mean, changing room. It seems that no one wants to get into the Zen mode because everyone is changing and chatting (loudly) like there are no people around other than themselves. And the chatting continues even as they go into the area where they are going to be practicing yoga. They have no respect for what the practice really is, I am at this poing boiling, ready to walk out the door. So the class begins, with "Jason" who has the idea that just because he eats organic food and does some poses he is a certified instructor. Note to Jason: wake up and go back to yoga teacher school, if at all possible go to India and learn the truth of what yoga is. Jason's class has no natural rhythm, there is no flow, it all seems to forced and fake, everything is backwards, the sequence sucks and all his talking gets in the way of people trying to concentrate on what they are doing and feel there body trying to bend into all shapes. Which leads me to my next point, Jason does not let people even sink in to the pose, it seems he's more intested in volume that content if you get what I mean.

Overall, I will have to say this studio sucks. It's so commercial and "bubble gum". Everyone is so fake. I have to go to it again because I paid for and introductory package of 2 lessons. Good grief!

Office Update

Yesterday I noticed that Tinky Winky our office pest has gotten a new hair "do". Think it's more like a hair don't. If you ever get something done to your hair where people can compare it to a mop, that's a bad sign and you shouldn't leave the hairdresser looking like that. We'll have to see how long it lasts.

P.P.PP.S (I lost count of the P's, don't know if this is right)

Anywho, I would also like to add that I am almost done reading the Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. I is a wonderful book that every girl must read. I really enjoyed this one. We should all thank The Nemesis for recommending this one to the Floatinghead.

P.P.S

I though this was funny and worth a mention, my horoscope says I will go on a hot date tonight. It's now 8:40pm no plans and no calls. I guess I can be my own hot date. Just me and my blog!

Weekend Update

It's the end of the weekend and I have a little time which seems to be rare for me these days. I think I am going to do my nails, generally I don't like to do them myself but I have to save money since I hope to be moving out to my own place pretty soon.

So what's new with me, not much. At this point I'm just trying to stay on top of things at work. I don't understand why the paperwork keeps piling up on top of my desk though. Since we have been so busy, and are only going to get busier I can't seem to have a moment of peace. I am doing my best to ignore Mrs. Potatohead, she still gets on my last nerve. She has no sense of courtesy towards other people or any kind of office manners. She got her nails done the other day which seems to be the first time ever that she has done that so she didn't know exactly how to act.

Home-life? well I try not to be home much, yesterday I went rollerblading with GM to battery park. It was a gorgeous day, I had so much fun. Friday I went out with JM and some new friends to Bryant Park, had a few drinks. Relatively unsuccessful two days when it comes to boys (meaning I didn't find any) but sometimes it's good to just be with the girls and have fun with them.

That's pretty much it, tomorrow is monday and it will be a whole new fight for the week. Tonight my mission is to find a lounge where we can have a get together for a friend of mine whose birthday is coming up. I'll be doing that for the next few hours. Toodles for now.

P.S. I have already done 6 out of the 12 items on "The List".

I'm back

For those of you that were wondering, no I didn't get lost in the black hole nor was I abducted by aliens, I'm fine.

I haven't blogged in a while because I've been so busy. Can't help it, I'm a popular girl. I do have to say that my Cancun vacation was a success, I really enjoyed myself. The beach was good, the pool was good, the people were nice and the sites were enjoyable. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary so I don't have any crazy stories. The plane ride back I could have done without, not only did I know I was coming back to my real life, but the airport was a mess the flight was delayed and nobody picked me up at the airport. Bummer! All in all, it was fun, took lots of pictures.

Now it's back to the grind. Hey did you hear that Michael Jackson was found not guilty on all counts, what a waste!
