Another One Bites the Sass

Hello duckies. I am in a whirlwind right now. So much is happening and has happened within the past couple hours. Anywho, let's just dive right in.

Yesterday I found out that one of my professors has the same coat as I do.



I was sitting next to him in class and I saw his coat on the table behind us...and it was the exact same coat I was wearing! It was a tad bit smaller to accentuate his petite frame but it looked more chic in a smaller size. My personality drowns my coat, making it divine. (Woooohuh, I love my coat!)

In regards to yesterday there was a Men's Basketball game and they lost. I just don't get it. We have a strong team, everyone fulfills their place in the team's puzzle. Just because a couple players are not able to participate does not mean the puzzle should be disconnected. They need to believe in themselves.



More importantly, fans need to believe in them too. Students and ticket-holders leave right in the middle of second half and it does nothing for the team. In order for something to follow through you must be able to envelope it with confidence, pride, diligence and belief; mainly belief.
We can do this Hartford!

Anyway, before I found out my professor and I had the same coat I ran into this girl on campus. It was pretty random: I didn't know her name and she didn't know mine either. But out of this "blind conversation" she told me she abhors her Elementary Education studies she's been conducting. She's a senior now, mind you. I told her she should make a drastic change in her career path and she told me she wants to pursue Occupational Therapy (a.k.a. OT). She seemed so jaded and detached from her future, already, and I just wanted to hug her sasspression out of her.



But that would have been awkward because we didn't even know each others' names. But I do wish her the best. Follow your heart duckie.

In other news, on my way back from classes (last night) I passed this lady standing in front of a vending machine screaming "No! My M+M's are stuck!"
I looked through the vending machine glass and the M+M's were indeed stuck, one corner still latched onto the machine's distributing coil. She turns to me.

Lady: (in a demanding tone) "Help me."
Me: (puzzled) "Umm, this machine is heavy."
Lady: (unnerved) "So, help me. Shake it. My M+M's are stuck."
Me: (with hesitation) "Okay. I'll shake it I guess."



The machine was lighter than I though it to be. I was shaking it, violent. The other assorted candies danced in place while the M+M's teased us, never falling. Minutes pass and I decide to stop believing in this rude woman's plea. Miraculously, another male comes and offers her money.
Kid: "You want a dollar, ma'am? You're not gonna get your money back."

I walk away from them both. She was too sassy for me to assist her any longer.

Anywho, it's definitely time for some "Words of Wisdom."

"It's better to be late than left behind. Coming into something later than others throws you into a situation parallel to the initially planned schedule; simultaneously hindering immediate comprehension and (yet) enabling you to develop a fresh take. Don't make tardiness a habit though duckies. Just know that it's never too late to learn."

OH! In between blogging (this post) I had to release some earthiness, as we all do on a daily basis. After releasing, I discovered there wasn't any soap in the bathroom. (To think of it, there hasn't been soap in the basement bathroom this entire week!)



It's so gross, thinking about how many male duckies used the basement bathroom without washing their hands with soap. To ensure I wasn't fulfilling the stereotype I made my way to the second floor bathroom to utilize the soap there. I'm a clean duckie!



I just had a double espresso and I have to change the world today...well that's what the espresso is telling me.

(Shout-Out!)
Pete: You're aren't just important to me because of our common ground with putrid tendencies. You are adorable. You make me laugh when I'm stressed out and you have the tendency to keep me sane. Total bromance. Don't ever change. You're magnificent the way you are.

Okay duckies, I gotta run. I wish you the best of happiness. Stay true.

Peace, love & Obama,
Gabriel Anderson

Ode to Nick

Hey duckies. Recently my double-ex (my boyfriend before last) has been talking to me. Yes, I've been talking back and sometimes I initiate the conversation. But it just makes things all the more difficult. I still have feelings for him (they've depleted now...read on) but I know better because those feelings will only lead to...breaking-up again. I must admit I am a difficult person to court. One day I could be the nicest person in the world and the next day I could be the most stressed-out biotch! But what disturbed me about our relationship was Nick's need for...affection. Our relationship was based on it. Plus, I'm physically bigger than Nick...he's so short

and that bothers me so much. I want to look up to my soul mate, not tower over them. (Maybe that symbolizes what I want in a relationship, someone to look up to, not someone I supersede.)

Well anywho, Nick is going to be up here (Connecticut) for his graduate school audition at Yale.



I haven't mentioned this but Nick is a big deal. He's a double major in piano and organ. I only date A-list men and Nick is pretty up there. He currently has a job playing for churches around the country and he basically has a job waiting for him after college...a phenomenal job. Nick was a good catch.

Anyway, Feb. 24th was his 21st birthday and he called me around 2am, drunk off his a$$, saying:

"Oh baby I love you. I wanna be with you. I'm gonna be in New Haven on Thursday. Come see me. Take a bus to New Haven and I'll pick you up. I wanna hold you all night...blah-blah-blah."



After close examination (well, until I heard he wasn't going to drive me back to campus...just to the bus station...not okay) I declined his invitation.
Dude went psycho.



"You're bipolar Gabriel. You need professional help. One minute you can be so nice, the next minute you're a bitch! Look for professional help and I'll pay for it. You need it."

(You duckies know how I feel about hiring people for work...it's so A-list. I almost took up his offer for professional help just because it would be free.)
But it dawned on me that Nick was displacing his anger for not being able to persuade me to come over to his hotel to "show him affection." I told him he just made forgetting about him so much easier. I wish you the best duckie.

Wooohuh, enough about Nick!

There's an issue that's been bothering me for the longest. The University of Hartford doesn't take VISA any longer!



And guess what kind of cards are issued by Bank of America (which happens to be the only bank on campus)? VISA!

WTF?! Doesn't anyone else see anything wrong with this picture? In addition to this financial-sass if you do not have Bank of America, the ATMs on campus charge you an extra $2...on top of your withdrawal and what your home bank will charge you. Sometimes I only have $2 in my account so I'm glad I have Bank of America (lol sorry I like to shop). I'll get over it eventually.

In other news, yesterday was Ash Wednesday and I totally forgot until I stared at this girl's forehead, walking toward me, thinking she fell forehead first into dirt. My people-friend Alyssa calls it Catholic Hobo Chic. I call it...


Anywho, it's time for some "Words of Wisdom."

"Never chase after someone that runs away without hesitation. If something gives you blatant signs of not wanting to be with you, let them run off and miss your splendid offerings. It's hard to let go of what you know. But duckie, you're worth more than you think."



Penny: Thank you for becoming a follower of my blog and for being beautiful.
Alexis:
This day is yours! It's always a pleasure to be in the library when you're working. It makes me so happy that someone funny and efficient is on the staff.
Pete: Thanks for not letting me be the only gross one on campus.
Alyssa: A-list ('nuff said.)
Noelle: Happy 22nd duckie! You're so beautiful and I know amazing things are in your future. All I have to say is "Move that bus!" lol
Rockstar: We had a beautiful radio show today. I wish we had recorded it. (There's always next time.)
J Boys: Thanks for being your spectacular selves and thank you for stopping by the studio today.
It's been a long day and tomorrow is going to be just as magnificent. I wish you the best of happiness. Stay true duckies.

Peace, love & Obama,
