This Is My Song Today.

22 01 2010

Not only is the thunder srsly rolling,
but I also feel like every single person in this video today.

I feel like Garth, you know, just telling this serious story
with those snarky headshakes and sassy stares.

I feel like the shitty husband who’s been having the best of both worlds with his wife & mistress- I’ve been having this cushy job & blogging on the sly & feeling pretty guilty about it. Luckily, I am sans those glasses & facial hair though cause that shit is played out in my hood.

I feel like the mistress who is like STOKED! SO EXHILARATED! I AM FREE!

I feel like the wife totally being blindsided and like I kinda want to shoot someone (or steal a case of Diet Dr. Pepper, same thing).

Then there is the scared little girl, who, DUH I really relate to right now. Thinking about how I have one last paycheck is pretty fucking scary.

But mostly I feel like the drummer, who is just keeping the beat, totally cool & composed & is like, “it’s chill man, I PLAY DRUMS FOR GARTH BROOKS.”

But I’m saying,
“it’s chill man, I BLOG FOR TANGENTS & THE TIMES.”





Sup FUNemployment! LOL! right? RIGHT?!

22 01 2010

Today has been a strange day.
First, I woke up to have like a gajillion extra hits from Wildfox fans.
Hi, fans! Sorry I’ve been drunk & pmsing all week on this thing.
Thanks for checking my site out, it seriously makes my heart fuzzy.
I was so ridiculously happy coming into the office today
after waking up to that
& then
I got laid off.
& then
on top of that,
I got my refurbished Blackburry
AND IT’S NOT GOLD. :(
WTF DAY?! What’s your problem?!
It was a simple fucking request.
Blackberry in GOLD.
I mean, black is like better than that metallic red but it’s just like I thought you make a selection so that you know, the selection you made will be sent to you and it’s just like, if I’m stuck having a refurb’d Blackberry for another five months, why couldn’t you just send me the gold one?!

Oh, well.

Soooooo, who needs a school paper written?
I’m going to have some MAJOR DEALS going on!





THERE’S JUST TOO MUCH GOING ON.

21 01 2010

OH MAN.

I know I’ve been updating every night.
But some nights have too much
going on on the insides.
Like Living Legends featuring Slug
& copious amounts* lots of Tisdale Cabernet.
Feelings & shit.
YOU KNOW HOW IT GOES.
You’re just like
PAJAMZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!

*Okay, I edited it this morning because I said “lots” too much
while I was too emotional (intoxicated) to write anything of substance.
Now one of my esteemed peers, Chocolate Bobka,
is saying “copious amounts” needs to stop.
When did the phrase “copious amounts” turn sour?
When did the animosity begin?
I NEED ANSWERS!!!





FINE. I CONCEDE.

21 01 2010

Alright.
ALRIGHT!
I’ll admit it.
I know it was kind of ridiculous for me
to blame Dudefriend for me putting my foot in the toilet.
But you know when you’re like really drunk,
so drunk you punch one of your best pals in the eyeball
(I LOVE YOU MEREDITH. DIDN’T MEAN IT. XOXOX)
and then you go home and you shove your foot in a toilet
after already being elbow deep in one at a bar,
you just want someone to blame
other than yourself & your affinity for sparkling Pinot Noirs.

I drunkenly was absolutely convinced without a doubt that this was all Dudefriend’s fault and I was like “NOT UH! I’M NOT AN ALCOHOLIC JAGOFF! I DON’T JUST PUT MY FOOTZ IN TOILETS!” because I have this monstrous ego and then in the morning when he lol’d in my face I just was like “psh no I AM RIGHT” when really that is just my father who couldn’t stand losing talking and I needed to just sit the fuck down and realize I do dumb things sometimes.

Anyway, thanks for the five of you who voted for me besides me.
I’m sure you are all girls that have dealt with toilet seat up issues.
Bless you all & thanks for siding with me.
Because even though I was kinda wrong,
I AM ALWAYS RIGHT
BECAUSE THIS IS MY BLOG AND I AM GOD.
[insert omnipotent bellowing muahaha'z]

Just kidding.
I’m not into like Jafar-ing shit up.
Think I’m just going to listen to Sarah Mclachlan for the next couple hours.
REFLECTxCORE, guys.

Opinion: Whose Fault Is It I Put My Foot In The Toilet?

20 01 2010

So, there has been a serious on-going debate since last night between Dudefriend and myself. We have reached a stand-still
and I feel the only recourse left is
to turn this over to the public for deliberation
and vote as to whose fault it is
that I put my foot in the toilet last night.

First of all, keep in mind this is a completely separate occurrence than when I dropped my phone in the toilet at El Prado earlier that evening, although both toilets were clean and unsoiled. That’s only similarity. Minus the fact I had multiple extremities in toilets last night (WTFFF btw?!).

Alright so here’s my take on what I can remember from the event.
So, Dudefriend and I get home from the bar
and I am getting ready to hit the hay.
Dudefriend went pee while I put my pajamz.
So, then I go into the bathroom and I’m brushing my teeth.
Now sometimes when I brush my teeth,
I kinda Captain Morgan my toilet, ya know
I put my one foot up on the lid.

This is something I have done many times that maybe SOMEONE hasn’t ever seen me do because he’s not always in the bathroom with me every time I freaking brush my teeth.

ANYWAY
I go to put my foot on top of the toilet and instead
I fucking put my foot IN the toilet
BECAUSE SOMEONE LEFT THE FUCKING TOILET UP.

I mean, obviously I was so used to doing this action I didn’t even bother to look down because hello, I always put the seat down.

So, in my best judgement,
it’s DUDEFRIEND’s fault my foot went in the toilet!!!
LIKE DUH!!!

Like oh, all of a sudden we’ve been dating for like forever and now he can just start leaving the toilet seat up whenever he feels like it like maybe there won’t be any repercussions for an innocent party who is used to having the seat down.

Dudefriend has issued the following statement on the evening:

People of the Planet,
Friends of the Forest,
Sultans of the Sea,

We live in a country founded on self-determination and for that reason I refuse to accept blame for Marissa’s sodden appendage. For my innocence, like many of my past kinsmen who have been blamed for such incidents, is as thick as early morning ocean mist making babies with the LA smog.

I don’t think anyone could or is willing to spend as much time with Marissa A. Ross as myself. From such acquired time together, I have NEVER seen Marissa “Captain Morgan” anything – especially the mentioned toilet. Speaking of, who the fuck “Captain Morgan”s things – especially a toilet. Was she trying to seductively scrub her foaming mouth while hunched over with Coloniel Kitty cleavage “Captain Morgan”s style? That should be called the boner eliminator.

Secondly, who is truly to blame here? Let’s recap Marissa’s evening from when we met at the bar:

- At the bar, Marissa is showing signs of a stimulant, my guess – Midol.
- A glass breaks at the bar, I turnaround to see Marissa’s rosy cheeks grinning with the “I didn’t do it because I’m so cute face.” Lies…
- Moments later, Marissa emerges from the bathroom with toilet sodden Blackberry and a soaking arm to match.
- On the drive home, Marissa decides it would be fun to drive in the middle of the road instead of the LADOT ruled lanes.

As we are home brushing our teeth, I hear the noise of a submerged appendage. I turn around to see Marissa’s foaming mouth gritted with grief and a soaking wet foot of despair.

So I ask you this, who is to blame? Is it the drunken boracha with an appetite for danger and a seemingly hidden fetish for toilet bowl water or is it her kind, peaceful partner who left the seat up?

-DudeFriend

(LOL I TOTALLY FORGOT I BROKE THAT GLASS!)

Ahem,
So, there you have it folks.
Two lovers, two sides, ONE BLOG
&
One poll
FOR
ONE ANSWER.





I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DOOOOOO

20 01 2010

So, my phone drown again.
It did the whole “oh I’m going to slip out of your back pocket into the toilet when you pull down your pants and then get stuck in the hole for five minutes while you’re elbow deep in toilet water” bit.
It also drown in a pool of red wine in October.

Here’s my dilemma,
I want an iPhone, like really bad.
But my Tmobile contract expires in like three months.
I’m going to have to pay like $90 to get a stupid other Curve
(even with the insurance sooooo lame)
or renew my contract to get a newer phone
or pay mad amounts because
I’m impatient and want my fucking iPhone.

I think I’m just going to get a grilled cheese and call my mom.
Fuck you, I know it’s not even 9am.
& damn it, that post last night blew.
& DUDEFRIEND MADE ME PUT MY FOOT IN THE TOILET LAST NIGHT.
More on that later.
I’m just having a rough 12 hours.





Angst, Molls & Colonial Kitteh. But Mostly Angst. & Even More Wine.

19 01 2010

Whenever I PMS, I literally write and rewrite and write and rewrite all this shit and I read it and I’m like “Marissa, what are you doing? Listening to Dashboard Confessional? Stop bitching about how sorry you are for yourself that you’re not Stephen Hawking/Audrina Whatever her skinny ass/sweet tits last name is and write something” but I’m supposed to leave my house in approximately thirty minutes or so & I’m still in my work clothes, half a bottle deep, not able to think because I put too much pressure on myself & I’m lurking people’s shit & am totally jealous (even though I shouldn’t be) because they suck so bad & have so many more followers than me & it’s like WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!

AND THEN I’M LIKE YOU’RE BEING A CRY BABY FOR NO REASON!!!
And then I’m like, oh, right, you’re about to start bleeding.
And then I’m like
DO
NOT
WRITE THAT!!!
IF YOU WRITE THAT YOU WILL GROSS OUT THE DUDES!!!
AND IF YOU GROSS OUT THE DUDES
YOUR CAREER
IS
TOTALLY
OVER!!!

But it’s sooooo true !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

& god damn it I literally, LITERALLY, searched through Molls’ tumblr FOR DAYZ like that is her catch phrase but I just went through LITERALLY DAYZ of her posts to try to find this epic Tshirt she made that said “Periods Suck 4 Daze” or something to that extent and I just feel like a fucking failure. She’s just too awesome with so many awesome posts I CAN’T DO IT YOU GUYS.

And then I found this post she wrote:

& I was like, wow, she is my hero.
& I know once I’m done
clenching where my uterus kind-of-is in pain,
I’M GOING TO FEEL LIKE A WINNER ALL OVER AGAIN!!!

Until then, I’m wearing this shirt:

I'M JUST SO ANGSTY !!!

And then I’m gonna keep wearing this shirt
cause it’s the best shirt evz.

(LOLZ WHY DID I GIVE YOU GUYZ THE BIRD?!
I DON’T EVEN KNOW?!??!!!

THANK YOU.





LOTS OF CAPS BECAUSE I AM AGITATED & CAFFEINATED.

Netflix Watch Instantly is great in theory.
You know, you go on your computer and then POOF!
You get to watch a movie instantly!
But you know what?
That doesn’t ever happen.
You know what happens?
You smoke & then you are like, “Oh, let’s see what’s on Watch Instantly
& then instead of watching anything instantly,
you end up spending an hour
just trying to find something worth watching or that you haven’t watched a million times or some crap your dad used to watch every god damn Sunday morning or something you fell asleep in during your high school film class or a bunk ass History’s Mysteries- which is a whole other tangent because I fucking love the History channel and their selection is as boring as flannel shirts on boys with beards.

Which DEFEATS THE WHOLE WATCH INSTANTLY notion altogether!

More Like Over 12,000 Pieces Of Shit No One Actually Puts In Their Queues.

It’s a one big cruel joke I fall for basically every night.
Like, oh, here’s Marissa & Dudefriend.
Trying to cuddle up for a good time,
let’s only give them two viable options-
one they will take a chance on & inevitably turn off
& another that they will have to go with because
they’ve already watched all the David Attenborough specials!

And it’s not like there are better recourses.

It’s not like I can go to Hulu & sit through another two minute suicide inducing pitch of horrible ABC family prime time bullshit with an imitation edge of a Jason Bateman flick. Can’t do it. That “Juno meets Gilmore Girls” bit last night literally made me so uneasy I would have gotten up and eaten another ear of corn and six doughnuts just to keep myself busy… but it’s a real pain in the ass to like get dressed and climb down Dudefriend’s loft so I didn’t.
BUT I WOULD HAVE.

Not to mention all the quizzes now to watch shit for free…
WHY DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHICH TWILIGHT CHARACTER I AM?!
I DON’T EVEN WANT TO KNOW!
I’M NOT BUYING YOUR TWILIGHT PARTY FAVORS ON SALE, ALRIGHT?!
I JUST AM GOING TO ANSWER ALL ‘A’ & TELL YOU TO FUCK YOURSELF WHEN YOU STILL WON’T LET ME WATCH IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY !
YOU ASSHOLES!
YOU KNOW I’M DESPERATE!
GOD I H8 U.

Even without the exclamation mark,
I was still yelling right there.
Yelling for Netflix
TO GET THEIR SHIT TOGETHER!
PLEASE!

Not that it really matters I guess since Dudefriend made the very valid point,
“I don’t see why you care. You just smoke, have sex and go to sleep anyway.”

Which is true.
BUT IT’S THE PRINCIPLE!





National Holiday, My Ass.

18 01 2010

I feel like I’m really inadvertently disrespecting MLK today.
And it’s like, HIS DAY.
So, today is the worst day to be disrespectin’, even if it’s not my fault.
Because it’s not!
You guys know if I had a choice in the matter, I would not be at work.
Because I know MLK really wants me to be enjoying my freedom.
Which, I mean, I basically always had being a white girl.
BUT STILL!
He wasn’t like prejudice like that. He wanted equality for all and I mean, I feel like I’m being treated totally not equal right now since like half the universe gets today off (meaning all US government agencies and lucky bastards) and I don’t. Seriously that is like the definition of “not equal”. Why aren’t I given the right to stay in bed and smoke blunts and watch Barbershop 2 and all nine of the Fridays today? I don’t get it.

LE SIGH GUYZ.

The point is, while I’m stuck in my horrible office with my brand new Mac and all this free Pelligrino and coffee like, doing shit on the internet, I just wanted to pay my respects to a really great man who really did a lot for this country. He was like the first dude on the ‘Hope & Dreamz’ train you know? Obama took a page from this homie’s book for sure. I mean, I took a page from this guy’s book when I was like “I’m gonna be true to myself just like all the greats that proceeded me” in my ‘artist profile’ in the previous post.

Not saying I’m like comparable to MLK.
NO WAY JOSé!
I’m just saying, he’s an inspiration to everyone.
Everyday.
And that’s why I guess it’s okay I’m working today.
Doesn’t mean I can’t watch Soul Plane tonight.

No, really, all jokes aside.
HE WAS THE JAM YA’ALLZ!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (3 days ago [oopz]) MLK!
Thanks for fighting for the God given freedoms and equality our government is so hypocritical not to recognize is for everyone in this country, even today. :(





I’M The New Standard, BITCHES.

18 01 2010

Everyone should go check out Clement & Co’s blog & latest installment of We Are The New Standard featuring yours truly & my way cuter animal counterpart, Mr. Zissou RIGHT NOW RIGHT HERE GO GO GO!

I feel truly blessed that these incredibly talented, artistic entrepreneurs felt I was worthy of their evening and even more worthy of the time I know it must have took editing and having to listen to me blabber for hours on end (cause I’ve edited plenty of my own shit & even I wanted to kill myself after listening to the same schtick over & over GAH).

So, the long & short of it,
to Clement & Co. -

Yup.
A big butterfly kitteh filled
& gratitude infused
thank you. <3





My Spirit Animal Today.

16 01 2010

Kinda embarrassed about
how silly I was earlier,
need to look around
& find some balance
& wisdom in my life.
& so, I turn to the owl on Dudefriend’s bookcase.

The Owl is the bringer of wisdom. The all-seeing owl possesses supernatural qualities and is often associated with intuition, clairvoyance and clairaudience. The Owl’s energy is at its peak in the very heart of darkness. When we are plunged into blindness and disorientation. He penetrates the darkness of the blackest night. Seeing and hearing that which others cannot.

A magical creature of the forest enigmatic and powerful.

If the owl is calling you, or you are aware of the owl being present in your life, dreaming or waking.

You are being called upon to open your eyes, ears and mind to the truth of a situation. To listen to the wisdom deep in your heart and soul. That still small voice is trying to reach you in some way. To assist you or help you in a current challenge you may be facing.

Tap into the power of the Owl by calling on your own intuition, listen to your own wisdom for there is something you need to see or hear. As the owl is so strongly associated with the night time, his wisdom may come to you while you slumber. So take the time to be aware of your dreams or make a special effort to remember and write down any important dreams you have. The Owl is a messenger that can bring clarity and illumination.

- Psychic Guild

Today, I hope this owl brings you all the strength to let go of the past and takes you to a place where you can make a fearless moral inventory of yourself, with the vigorous honesty to confront yourself and look at the effects of actions on others and myself, stop blaming and feeling blamed with a willingness to heal the wounds, ready to be accepting of the world and others as it is and as they are.

So what I’m saying is
somewhere with Bloody Marys.
Well, at least that’s where I am going.

& no, that wasn’t plagiarized from the 12 step program,
thank you very much.

Although, it was inspired
by the “Alternative 12 steps”.





Torn Like Rip, Ya’allz.

16 01 2010

Have you ever had the chance to really publicly humiliate your arch nemesis but are morally torn between being the “bigger person” you have been for years or finally just kicking them square in the balls and commenting on their ridiculous Facebook status with a link to their blog’s real traffic report completely nullifying their claim to “1,000+ hits a day”? I just don’t know if I can “be the bigger person” anymore! I was the “bigger person” who helped him with his blog anyway! I was the “bigger person” all week getting his texts with stupid emoticons with equal signs instead of colons for eyes bragging about these completely brash and bold stated lies of numbers! He spent YEARS shaming me, making me cry in front of all our friends and cutting me down to my lowest for no reason except for his own sick satisfaction and now the reality I have always known is laughing in everyone’s face all over Facebook and I WANT TO RUIN HIM ON THE INTERNET SO FUCKING BAD.

But even writing this has made me feel like an idiot.
I shouldn’t care what he says to me or anyone else.
Because I know the truth
& it’s pretty sad
& he has to like live with that everyday.

Must feel a lot like this:

Bummer, dude. :(





I Can’t Be The Only One Thinking This.

15 01 2010

CATBURGLAR!





Being Locked Out Sucks. That’s It. Nothing Funny About That.

15 01 2010

So, this morning, some of you may have seen this:

The ones of you that saw it, just like the ones who are just seeing it now, are probably like, “WTF is this broad talking about?! She can’t even hold a glass of wine let alone coordinate swinging from permanent constructions on plots of land.”

Which is very true.
But I did have to have some mad maneuvers this morning.
It all started with me waking up at Dudefriend’s…

So, I wake up and he drives me to my house before we go to work. Today is the one day in the history of my work where I have been instructed that I HAVE to be in at eight. I’m always in at eight but everyone got an email last night to get there on time.

Of course, I’m thinking nothing of that.
Like whatttteverrr, I’m always on time.
I get to my door and open my purse
only to find
my keys
NOT
THERE.

Like any other woman with a big bag, I dump my shit out and go through it like five times before frantically calling Dudefriend, hoping he’d either say
“yeah you forgot them at my house”
or “I will come and rip the bars off your windows, M’Lady!”

But instead
he just didn’t pick up.

So, I did what any other woman would do
& screeched in frusteration.
Like really loud.

Then I realized my bedroom window was unlocked!
& without bars!
The only problem was the reason it doesn’t have bars is because

well, this is where I was just about to add a picture.
But then I started to think that was a bad idea.
Mostly because I’m stoned
& secondly because I don’t want people knowing what my casa looks like.
This ain’t Foursquare after Google buys it and adds street views.

(Honestly, I am so happy right now my internet connection sucks and doesn’t load things fast enough cause I wasthisclosetobeingsuckedintotheGoogleMapsstreetview black hole, in which case this post would have gotten lost in the draft pile I’d pretend I’d get back to but know I’ll never be “in the moment” again.)

What the picture would have shown is how my house is built on a hill and thus my room protrudes out over a very small ravine and my windows are probably like, I dunno like 20 feet from the ground (keep in mind my idea of any sort of increment that involves measuring aside from parts of my own body are 90% wrong- but it’s high!).

I just realized what a tale this was becoming.
Shit.
Okay, sooo I found a ladder of my landlords, scaled the ravine IN MY NEW BOOTS, perched the ladder on uneven loose soil, then opened the window while teetering and screeching once more, knock my radio/iPod combo (I’m into combos, also still got the Insigna Tv/DVD com’b going) off the sill, break it, throw my phone in WHICH WAS A STUPID IDEA CONSIDERING AT THAT POINT I COULDN’T HAVE GOTTEN IT BACK, then kinda hop to the window and I’m like, half way in half way out hanging over the ravine and then I had to use the little to no upper body strength to pull myself in (which took approximately two and a half minutes).

Hey, you guys?
Have you ever started a story & then you get so far into it you just can’t put your ego aside- you’re just so embarrassed on the inside!!!- to stop talking & then you rush to the end & quickly think up some bullshit & everyone laughs & forgives you for stealing seven minutes of their lives because laughter is the best medicine for even social diseases like longwindedness/narcissism/short term memory loss due to long term marijuana useage?

I wish this was real life so I’d be assured that was happening right now. <3
