a phone call

I learned last night from my aunt that my grandmother (who's been having issues with high blood pressure for the past few weeks) was admitted to GBMC. They'll be finding out what's going on with her today and hopefully it'll will work out ok. My Aunt knew about the blood pressure battles, but it seemed that medication was helping so she didn't tell any of the grandchildren - my grandmother's wishes due to pride and not wanting to be a burden to the family.
My grandmother and my mom have had their issues, but Mom Mom has ALWAYS been there for me and this is so upsetting. I worry about my Pop Pop and how he's doing while Mom Mom's in the hospital. I'm even worried about who's going to take care of Buddy the ankle-nipping dog.
I'm more than a little angry and hurt that my parents couldn't tell me about any of this. I'm sure the excuse is that they didn't want to worry me, but fuck em. They know how much I love Mom Mom and it could have been one little call, one little email, one little text message - when they knew she was going to the hospital and not 8 hours later, AFTER I hear from someone else - to let me know what's going on. Instead, I'm one of the first people my Aunt calls... and I am so thankful for that, but really Mom and Dad? WTF? Grow the Fuck up and get over yourselves.

The Nom Nom Nom Song will cheer up just about anyone!

grumble to the maxx

Fat, nosy, overtanned, bleached, lazy, squeaky, disorganized, immature, insincere...
She’s “hiding” - is it even possible to hide an orange rhino?
Yacking on her cell phone.
Like no one knows what she’s doing.

She epitomizes EVERYTHING I HATE.

Whoo Hoo!

Billy is on his way home with... A NEW CAR!!! A Mazda 3 - Blue/Grey Color, manual (which is tough to find these days) and a moonroof!!!! I am so happy for him and so happy the Escort is gone. It served him well, but since I've had my new car (a year soon!) I haven't really driven with him in his old car (towards the end, it was dirty and I felt like it was bound to go up soon!!!). It is GREAT that he was able to make this happen because he truly deserves it! I am so proud of him and happy and I can't wait to smell that new car smell!!!!

Creativity with Illustrator

I was sort of not busy at work today, so I decided to see if I could build a vector image based on a photo that still looked like a photo - no harsh lines.... I think it came out pretty well! This may be my next tattoo!

Asian Driver...

Why is it that Asians have such a horrible rep for being bad drivers?
Believe me, every race has an equal amount of bad drivers - I see it everyday during my commute to work!

I'm baffled and a bit emabarassed by the fact that I find this stereotype absolutely hilarious... That makes me a bad Korean I think.

I cringe when I think about driving in the parking lot in front of Billy's store - it's next to a gigantic Asian/Ethnic food store... That makes me just as bad as the other people that think all Asians are bad drivers!

But I think there may be some truth to all stereotypes - otherwise they wouldn't exist, right?

How did the stereotype start and how does it still exist?
