These last few weeks i have gotten all sorts of invites to join different families. Join and we ill have your back. Join and we will be there for you. Join and never be alone.
I keep telling them the same thing - i already have a family. And you know what? I didn't have to join. I didn't have to put it in my name and my profile that i belong. I didn't have to give them so many rates and likes a day for them to "be there for me". All i had to do was be myself and they love that about me. All i had to do was need a friend and they were there for me to offer a help with out being rated first.
I love my friends and family because they are wonderful and amazing. No matter what life brings them they take the time to care for me. And i care for them in return. I am so lucky to have them in my life and i am thankful every day.
So take your joins and rates and likes and stick them up your ass - thanks :p
The love story of Ralph and Edna....
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool. Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end.
He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.
When she went to tell Edna the news she said, 'Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.
The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.'
Edna replied, 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?'
July 20th my friend Lola passed away. I was a complete and total shock. Yes she had been sick, but was on the mend. Or so we thought.
I met Lola 2 years ago on the first day of class when I went back to college. I was totally terrified that day - thinking omg I am going to be the oldest in the class, and I am going to fail -I al too stupid for school. Basically - WTF am i doing!?!?!?!
The instructors did the typical ice breaker exercises - getting us to introduce ourselves and what not. The first class Tony had us group up somehow (I forget how) and Lola was in my group. I told her I was nervous as I hadn't been in school for a long time. She told me I would be just fine. We were friends from then on.
Lola was always quick with a comment to make you laugh. She was intelligent, strong, independant, and wonderful.
One of my favorite memories of her is when we went to see David Beckham play soccor. They search bags and what not as u go into the stadium. Lola pipes up - "Are you checking my bag just because I'm black?" the poor kid waves her through. Then when its my turn she pipes up "Are you checking her bag just because she is with someone who is black?".
Or how she use to tick off our English teacher. OMG this woman was an old bag, full of shit anfd couldn't teach her way outta a paper bag. On the first day she told us how she could not ban food from her class room but she frowned upon it as it was rude. The class started at 12 noon so we ate anyway. But Lola would soak carrot sticks in ice water to make sure they were nice and crispy and loud. She ate them all through class lol.
I went to message Lola today - ask her if she wanted to go ut for coffee - and then I remembered. I don't know if it will ever sink in she is gone.
I know I will miss her forever - and every time I see anything of the Oilers t will remid me of her.
Rest in Peace Lola.
