Why I Love/Hate Ray…

So before the storm, I could really care less about C. Ray Nagin. He didn’t mean anything to me other than him being the mayor. Why do I care about who the mayor is, it’s always some dude bought by the city who doesn’t do anything for ppl like me, so alas….
So he is elected, he tries to prove to us that he is not purchased by the city by having this whole taxi scam thing blown up and everyone is arrested including his cousin… Again, I say, ok. Fine.
So then there was Katrina. And Ray went straight thug on everyone! I loved it, I knew that there was a reason he was our mayor… He put all the media in their place, he fussed when we needed someone to fuss, of course he made crazy comments (ex. Chocolate City) but he was emotional and you cant always control what comes out when you are in the midst of a passionate speech… right? Right.
So here we are, got this mayor who is hard down for our city like we are, the dude is on tv talking about how he is strapped, don’t play with Ray!
Then the rebuilding starts. Or does it?
Nothing in my neighborhood has been rebuilt; nothing in the East is rebuilt. If you drive to the East at night, you better attach a flashlight to the hood of your car cuz they aint got no lights out there….
Yeah if you drive up St. Charles to the Garden District, and into the Quarters you would think that life is just peachy in the city of New Orleans.
What about us Ray? Why are they trying to get rid of our neighborhoods and build new shopping marts and walking trails and crap ppl dnt need. Why are we destroying a city landmark like Charity hospital in order to build a brand spanking new VA building?
Where is the mayor we thought had our back? Why is NO looking more like 2% milk city? Why cant the black families afford to move back into their neighborhoods? Why were so many ppl fcked out of their homes?
Oh Ray….What is we gonna do?

I HATE Mornings.

Why does the morning suck so much, what is it about this time of day that makes me want to slap the SHT out of someone for the tiny offense of speaking to me, and don’t let it be one of those crazy scary happy mofos…. Lawd….You know those ppl who seem to not realize that it should be against the law to be that dam perky at 7am. The ones who I suspect take heavy doses of meds and or sleep with a caffeine IV hooked up to them. Its not normal for anyone to be that lively and annoying so early. If you cant think of someone like this then there is a good chance you are the a-hole I am talking about… Stop being so freaking scary, we hate you.

I go to bed as early as I can in an effort to be able to handle this time of day, yet every morning I wake up needing at least 3 more hours of sleep… Do I need to see a doctor; am I a vampire, what is wrong with me?? I tried taking vitamins, getting Starbux (cuz you know that stuff is like crack), going to bed while the sun was out, and nothing…Maybe I need to make my doctor do a complete work up on me, perhaps I have a tumor…idk…

I truly hate the hours before noon, if I could sleep until 11 or so each day I would be willing to go to work from 12pm until like 6… I mean I would actually do work for those 6 hours too, not BS like I generally do for most of the day… But apparently no one is trying to go for that…It would be more productive and really they would get the same amount of work out of me, perhaps more even…think about it…

I think I will start to do away with this early bedtime, especially since it is not really helping me at all….the only problem with that is that I get bored in the evenings, if there is nothing good on TV then what the heck am I supposed to do with my time? Knit?
I need a hobby… But then wouldn’t that be a big effort, and like an investment. If I chose to start rehabbing old cars, or like creating personalized pet portraits wouldn’t I need capitol to start up…So much pressure, and besides I’m far too lazy to think about all of this right now… I need a nap…..
