Sluggish slumber

Hello duckies. I basically slept through today...and I loved it!
I slept in my room, the living room, while watching TV, while sending emails on Blackbird (my Blackberry Storm), on my laptop...everywhere!
I even tried watching a movie: "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas."
I fell asleep in the beginning and woke up to turn it off but from the quotes I overheard, I know I'm going to love it, when I'm fully conscious.
In other news, I just saw Britney Spears' new music video for "If You Seek Amy" and I am in love.
I am so proud of her: she looks amazing, the choreography was phantasmagorical, I loved the song before it became a hit and she is definitely one of my idols now. Britney...I fcuking love you!
Speaking of love, later on today I'm going to be jazzing it up with my four CT gals: Yunie, Monica, Raynell and Shenel. They're going to be in the city until Friday and we're going to some club...Smalls Jazz Club.

I've never been there but from the way Yunie has been raving, I know I'm going to have a ball.

It's been awhile since I did this so, let's get to the "Word of the Week!"
Manboi (pronounced "man boy")- A man who resorts to juvenile antics when faced with difficulty; an immature male over the age of twenty.
Ex: "Jeffrey is such an asshole when it comes to expressing his feelings."
"Samantha, I told you he's a manboi."

Enough of my babble, here are some "Words of Wisdom."
"Starting something easy is...easy; starting something hard takes courage. However, ending something beautiful is an absolute challenge. Quitting something while it's still beautiful is the best way to end things. Don't wait until you're constantly worrying about the worth of something, to end things; starting new chapters is the best way to live. "

Josh: You are the...
I'm so glad you're a part of my life now and I can't wait to see you when we return for break. Love you man!
Ruben: You are one of the most dependable people I know. You always make me feel special and I can't thank you enough for all you've done. Thank you for being you. I love you.
Mommy: There isn't much more I can say...but I'm going to say it anyway. I can't get enough of you. You do so much for me and I will forever be indebted to you. Even though at times we fight like Betta fish, I love that we can always make each other laugh when we're clawing at each other's throats. I love you...more than I love myself (and that's a lot lady)! (Stop sassing me when you see me sleeping on the couch; I'm on vacation lol.)
Okay duckies, it's time for me to go back to sleep; it's my new healthy addiction. I love you all.
I wish you the best of happiness. Stay true.
Peace, love & Obama,
Gabriel Anderson

SoHo Extravaganza

Hello duckies. I know you're feeling well because that's how life should be spent. But today one of my dear people-friends almost saw her glamorous life's end.
Alyssa is down in Florida (I think) with her grandmother and cousin and she spent her day at the beach. Up in the Northeastern region of the United States of Sassica, I was at my NY people-friend's house: Elle Fox.

Today I finally fell in love with her sassy dog Tyler.

He's always giving me sassy eyes and ignoring my commands. But today he was being very friendly and attentive...but not as attentive as Alyssa's almost-murderer.
Anywho, Alyssa BBMed me and our conversation went along these lines:
Alyssa: Rar-Rar! I was just swimming in the ocean and a D-List rar-rar tried to attack. I got out just in time.
Me: OMG, that's so scary!
Alyssa: I was with my grandma and my 3 year-old cousin; this old man was like "get outta the water!"
(Alyssa cont.)
We start swimming and running and I look over to see a dark gray fin heading towards me.
Me: OMG it wanted to use you for fifteen minutes of A-Listness.
Alyssa: I can see it on the cover of US Weekly: "A-Lister beats-up shark, proclaimed hero among geriatrics."
Hahahah, oh Alyssa.

Speaking of A-Listers, you will die (I hope only figuratively) when I tell you who was on the train with Elle and I today. Effing gorgeous Kerri Russell was sitting across from us on the 6 train.
Elle and I looked at each other at the same time and laughed. Kerri is gorgeous; she looks the same in person, if not more striking. We deemed her celebrity of the week because we respect her so much more for taking the train with us up-and-coming A-Listers. You go Glenn Coco!

After we got off the train Elle & I got our Starbucks fix and roamed the glamorous land of SoHo. We hit up some shops (Old Navy, Uni Qlo and street vendors). But after a few hours of wandering Elle remembered that she promised to meet up with her other people-friends; we departed after she and I went to my Mom's office. (We're just that A-List.)
Anywho, after Elle left Mommy and I shopped until we couldn't carry anything else.
We (well, Mommy) spent some heavy bucks.
I got about 4 shirts, 2 hoodies, 1 pair of hot casual shoes, 2 pairs of jeans, and a Spider-Man pillow. (I couldn't find Batman so Spider-Man swung in and saved the day.)
Enough about me, let's get to some "Words of Wisdom."
"Never blame present failures for past unfortunates. The past is a tool that molds us into the beautiful person we are today and the future is chosen by our actions. Every action has an equal reaction; do the present wisely."

OMG, I have some super-duper A-List news to tell you. So one of my people-friends Maria has taken the semester off to prioritize her life (kudos to you duckie) and in doing she started writing. So far she's written 70 pages...but guess what?! Maria knows the right people and she's in the process of getting her book published!

(Duckies I am not poking fun at Maria. She told me via Facebook that she really needs a copy of this lol.)
Maria, welcome to the elite club of A-Listers; congratulations duckie!
To the rest of you duckies, keep following your dreams...while I meet mine with closed eyes tonight.
I wish you the best of happiness. Stay true.
Peace, love & Obama,
Gabriel Anderson
