"House" Review

I always said that I was going to, not only talk about my life, but other stuff as well.  Today, I want to talk about the TV series "House".  The beginning was very interesting.  Starting out doing time made me look at the character in a different light.  I'm glad he knew how to take care of himself.

The removal of the character, Lisa Cuddy was uncalled for.  There is a rumor that the producers of the show asked her to take a pay cut.  She refused so they dropped her from the roster, so to speak.  I wouldn't take a pay cut either since her character was a vital love interest in the series. 

I think they just got them together too soon when they should have held on to the last season of house so that they can end up together then.  Also, what good was doing time?  He still is addicted to pain killers.  They brought in the little Filipino Girl and that new hot Doctor from the jail.

Her I get but the munchkin?  I think they are training her to be like house but without the attitude.  And already, House is using her for all his bidding.  He just tricked the newbie to pay for his car repair.  I don't know how much more interesting can the show be?

I'm also very tired of the Foreman character.  First of all, he walks like he has House's cane up his ass while still having a hanger in his jacket.  I don't like the actor "Epps" and I don't like the way he portrays the character.  They should have gotten rid of him instead of Cuddy.

I'm thinking this will be the last season unless much more interesting characters come in and challenge House.  He's a dick but I think he needs to be humbled more.  He needs to suffer and empathize with people as well as learn from his friends.  It should go out with a bang!!

Feeling Better

Well, I am going to try, every once in a while to check in.  It's hard for me because I usually have something important to say.  At least, important enough for me.  Well, after many months of therapy, I've been feeling better.  Little by little I am learning to "Let it go".

It's not forgiveness mind you but rather a state of mind where I don't mind anymore.  I have to learn that even though I am following the golden rule, I can't control other peoples actions or feelings.  God has a plan for me and I believe he has put it in motion.

I blame facebook for my situation but it turns out that facebook will correct the problem.  I have met many wonderful new friends on facebook and at a minimum I'm having a good time with them.  Nothing major or even minor for that matter in regards to a relationship, but at least I am me. 

I've changed my attitude to where I don't care about how others feel about me or if I say something that will hurt their feelings.  I have to say what I want to say and that's that.  If I hurt your feelings, well, too fucking bad.  If you are truly my friend, you will understand that I really don't mean anything I say anyway.

On that subject, I truly believe that a TRUE friend will argue with you and fight with you but will always love you unconditionally.  I have a friend who I've noticed that I've gotten soooo mad that she has to hang up on the conversation before she curses me out.  We all have opinions and if yours is not like mine, well, let's "Agree to Disagree".  That helps all the time.

We cannot dwell on the past because that's when the mud from the past clings to our shoes preventing us to take a step forward.  To my old friends, whom I love very much and value our friendships, thank you for being there thru all my bullshit.

To my new friends, prepare, but remember, I will be there for you as much as you are there for me.  To my new "Friends", I would like to get to know you better.  you know who you are!  Anyway, this is my entry for today.  I am writing again so I must go, The play will be done soon!  Love ya!

McDonald's again?

Well, it's been a while since I posted but I think it is time once again.  So, I drop off my daughter at her school in a cab and decide to go get McDonald's for breakfast.  I like their breakfast.  The moment I walked in I realized that it was going to be a while because there was a long line at the counter.

As I was waiting my turn, a young white woman walked up to the counter and asked if she can use the bathroom.  It was obvious that she was on her way to work but had to stop for a second.  As she approached the counter, she just happened to catch the manager at the register. 

She wasn't a vagabond or a homeless person.  She asked the manager if she can use the bathroom and the manager seemed to ignore her.  Finally the manager said that she could not use the bathroom unless she purchased something.  The young lady began to explain that she is a neighbor and that she purchases a lot from there but that she had to use the bathroom. 

The manager still said no.  When asked if she was the manager, the Manager didn't respond.  She knew where it was going.  Finally, after multiple attempts to find what the managers name was, the manager looked at her and said, "Theresa".  The young lady said "Thank You, have a nice day!"  She walked out.

After all this happened, it was finally my turn at the counter.  I had a feeling something wrong was going to happen so I prepared myself mentally for it.  A young Spanish girl, who seemed to be a lesbian with a chip on her shoulder, took my order.  Personally, I don't care what you are, just treat me with the same respect that I am treating you with.

Anyway, I approach the counter, make my order, pay the order and move away from the counter as to not say or stir up any reason for them to get nasty with me.  She then takes the next order and fills it before mine.  I let that go because there was still a little tension in the air.

She began packaging my order and I watch carefully.  As she was doing it, she was conversing with the manager about the whole situation.  In my experience with McDonald's employees, if they don't concentrate on the order at hand, the fuck it up.  Always happens.

On the other side of the counter, I waited and she gave me my order.  i asked her if she can "double-check" my order so that I don't have to come back.  She looked at me with contempt, grabbed the bag within the bag, pulled it out and briefly looked in.  I asked is there a problem with double-checking?  She said that she already had read the order to me.

I said I know that but you read it over there on the other side of the counter before you packaged it.  Again, Is there a problem in double-checking the order?  She said that it wasn't her job to double-check that it was mine.  I stepped back, looked at her then looked at the manager who was standing right next to us the whole time this was going on.

I wanted to get into this discussion, on a very professional level, but the counter person cut the conversation short and walked away from me.  I turned to the manager again and looked at her as if to say "And you're not going to do anything?".  She just smiled.  I walked out.

This is the McDonald's on 6th street and first avenue.  I've had problems with the one on 14th st and first and the one on Madison st.  I've gotten people fired for bullshit like this.  This time was no exception.  i called the appropriate people and lets just say that it won't be happening again and I'm getting free sandwiches and desserts to boot.

I hope you enjoyed the story.  You're more than welcome to say anything you want!  LOL  Fun times I swear!   Love ya!
