Gone Too Soon

Even though summer officially ends on the 22nd of September... it ends for me right before September rolls in.

Things that I have realized and dealth with this summer....

Good weather means everything.
French guys don't know when to quit.
I am still listening to old songs.
New York streets are filthy.
Good mechanics are hard to find.
I am destined to have a sick pet just so I can cure it.
Never plan on leaving ANYWHERE early.
Most importantly I have to make it work.


For all the Torontians or anyone in Toronto this summer or should I say "sprimmer'; you know this by far was the crappiest summer weather wise. It rained pretty much every bloody weekend. We had the most rainfall since the 70s. I believe a couple of records were broken. Regardless, it was just too crappy for me to really care. I bought and lost more umbrellas than I can count; especially a really good one in a cab!

I belive I mentioned bumping in a fella from Senegal. Nice guy, but I am really not into him. It has come to the point where he calls at least 5 times a day and leaves real sappy messages. I haven't called or responded to any of his CALLS for over a month and he just doesn't quit. UGH! What gets me is that every time I think about giving him a piece of my mind, I can't think of words simple enough to get my point across without cursing. So I am just going to let it be until he figures out WHEN.

Love music, love shows, but nothing really moves me. My generous sister has LENT me one of her several ipods, in which I have enthusiatically put 378 songs on. Imagine that! All those songs on one little device. Gotta love technology. I have been so excited to have this little contraption in my life that I felt like sharing. Whenever I had an opportunity I would put my earphones on whomever I was with and play them a song. Until one day, Miguel was victim to one of my urges, and asked

Miguel (in his hardcore spanish accent)"Don't you have any songs from the 2000's?"
Moi - "Huh?!, Of course I do, I just haven't downloaded them yet"...
Miguel - "Like what songs?"
Moi - "I don't know... you know like songs..."
Miguel - "This sucks!!! I don't like the kind of music you listen to"
Moi - "Well I don't like you! Give me back my damn headphones! "

I have been hurt ever since. I came home and found a few songs, but nothing that I would want to download and take up precious space. Then it hit me, I am really stuck in the oldies! SO SOON!??!?!

My parents do that "they don't do things like they use to" and I completely agree! They absolutely don't. But I am not trying to age that fast.
