Alright, so here's the deal. I actually don't like blogging. And here's why. When I come across something that interests me, I find an actual human being and share it with them. As you've probably been able to tell, my blog posts haven't been exactly inspired. I dont have anything AGAINST blogs or bloggers in general, I just don't like blogging myself. This is all just for an assignment at school. There, I confessed.
I guess I just don't really see how someone could create consistent, frequent and interesting blog posts just about the things that happen in their life. I think that the blogs that have some sort of theme work out best. Photography, cooking, politics, sports... There's always something to WRITE about. Or post pictures about. This assignment has shown me that I'm leading a rather dull existence right now, my only entertainment coming from YouTube binges and celebrity gossip. Oh well. Might as well keep to a theme. Here's a bunch of pictures and videos that I found to be amusing. Goodbye Bloggerland!!

How does someone even come up with something like this?!
SHAKING AND CRYING
If you don't think that this is the cutest video of ALL TIME, you have no soul. NO SOUL.
Amazing architecture
An article with 15 insane staircases. Makes mine look like a carved piece of poo.
Maybe its the fatigue, but my brain just leaked out of my ear a little bit.
Twitter avatars
This artist creates new pictures inside the shape of the Twitter bird. Cute!
Also, all of these videos and pictures were found on probably my new favourite site: Neatorama
Oh hay, it's 1:35 AM. Guess I should put an end to my last blog post. Goodnight!

Weekend Update
Happy Sunday Evening, all!
I don't even know why, but I keep forgetting that today is Sunday. I keep thinking that it is still Saturday, and of course that is very disorienting. Its not like I've been bumming around, letting the days melt one into the other. They've been structured with work, meals, and me-time. Maybe I'm just becoming apathetic, like I am slowly losing the meaning of the days. Maybe I've just had a very lazy weekend, despite the fact that I've been constantly on the ball at work.
Yesterday and today were two good shifts. They went by quickly, most likely because the store was so busy. The only times I wanted to set myself on fire were when bitchy women would come through cash, clearly taking their bad moods out on me. Seriously. Why would you go shopping when you're in a foul mood? Why would you come shopping on a busy Saturday and expect everyone to drop everything and wait on you hand and foot? And why would you be surprised and angry to find out that due to everyone ELSE shopping on this busy saturday, some things you may have wanted are sold out? Some people are just genuinely stupid.
Whoo! Just got a little angry there myself, could you tell? Enough about work. I'm feeling much better than I was at the beginning of the week. I don't feel like I'm going to puke and die anymore, but I still get embarrassing coughing fits from time to time. Mostly at night, I'm not sure why. It's just annoying when I'm trying to get to sleep and NOW my cough decides to return. So hopefully it'll be gone in a few days and I'll be back to being happy healthy Monica.
Well now, I do believe it is time for me to get to bed, as I have to go back to work for 9 AM tomorrow. I much prefer morning shifts, because usually it isn't ridiculously busy first thing in the morning on a Monday. It is Monday tomorrow right? Have a good week everyone!

Exhausted but Rewarded
Hey kidlets!
I'm so tired, I feel like I'm drunk! So what's the best thing to do when you're incredibly exhausted and you can't feel your face? If you answered "write on your blog!" then you'd be correct!
So here's what's been going on in my life over the past couple of days:
For the past week my group in my PR class has been putting our Organizational Application assignment into action. We were tapped by the United Way campaign at our school to host a fundraiser. We had about three weeks to get the whole thing together, but we pulled it off and I think it went pretty well if I do say so myself. We got a TON of cool prizes and sold raffle tickets all this week and part of last week, with all the proceeds going to the United Way. Just a few of the sponsors include:
Xbox
Motorola
Sierra Online
Hair Unlimited
The Hamilton Bulldogs
Playstation
And that's not even all. The actual list is so long that I couldn't memorize it even if I wasn't stupidly tired. We hosted the draw at The Arnie, which is Mohawk College's campus club. This meant that I did not get to crawl into my bed until about 1 AM. Grand.
So that was yesterday/this week. The whole thing went surprisingly well, considering that I've encountered huge speed bumps in planning things like these in the past. There were a few minor hiccups in communication but I'd call the assignment a success. We raised almost $600 in total for the United Way! Yay!!!
For those of you who don't know, the United Way is an organization that raises money to support local charities and social services.
Clicky here if you want to know more about the United Way :D
TODAY, I had to wake up bright and early at 7 AM and head BACK to Mohawk. Yayyyy I could barely stay awake during class (Sorry Tim! Not my fault!) and then I had to write a quiz in my Print Design class. I thought I was going to completely bomb it since I had only started studying yesterday before the United Way event, but I actually did pretty well.
After the morning was over, a bunch of us went down to the Hamilton Yacht Club for a conference/workshop run by the International Association of Business Communicators. We split into groups, and each table was led by representatives of an organization in Hamilton. The group that I worked with was The Afro-Canadian Caribbean Association, represented by Lloyd and Beatrice, two very nice and informative people. In our groups, we had to address two communication issues brought up by the representatives, and come up with strategies and tactics to help them out. The two members of my group were another PR student from McMaster, and a communications professional, so she did a LOT of the talking but I made some really good suggestions too. We even had enough time at the end to start working on a communications plan for an upcoming program launch. Overall, it was an incredibly informative and useful afternoon, even though I was beyond tired.

And so those were my past couple of days! I'm off to bed now, gotta work in the morning AGAIN, then gotta do a Photoshop assignment. It never ends!!

Things that come out of nowhere
Just found out that the frontman of Jacksoul, Haydain Neale, passed away after fighting cancer. He was just 39, leaving behind a wife and daughter. This is also two years after he was in a major automobile accident that he almost didn't survive. It makes you really think about what you have, and how much of it you take for granted. Its too bad. He had a lovely voice. I think most people would remember him for this song:
Makes me feel guilty for complaining about being sick right now, considering that my sickness is merely a cold (which was the original "Thing that came out of nowhere" that this blog was supposed to be about). I don't get sick very often but when I do, it hits me hard and I can't function at all. But when I hear about things like this happening, a man's life cut short when he should be enjoying it to the fullest, I feel like I should stop being a whiner and just push on through. So I'm sorry for being a whiner. I need a healthy dose of perspective every once in a while.
Wishing you all good health and good spirits this week.

A question for the ages...
Why is it that whenever you get a song stuck in your head, it has the be the most annoying, crappy song out there?
Here's what I've had stuck in my head for the past hour, thanks to working at Suzy Shier:
For the record, this is the first time I've ever seen the video for this song. And you can call me old fashioned or a prude or whatever, but I think the producers had a field day making SEVENTEEN-YEAR-OLD Miley look like she's 25. I didn't dance around like that when I was 17. I didn't point and wave to older dudes who were gawking at me. I bet the bearded guy wearing aviators 27 seconds in is kicking himself now, knowing that he checked out a girl who isn't even legal yet. But whatever. the point is, this song sucks and it wont leave me alone. I dare Miley to sing this song without lipsynching or using auto-tune. If she can pull it off without sounding like a bag of feral cats (which she kind of sounds like anyway, despite the wonders of sound-editing technology) I might give her some credit.
I actually watched an interview with her the other day where she admitted that she a) didn't write the song and b) doesn't even know what songs Jay-Z sings. So when she sings about how a Jay-Z song played on the radio while she was taking a TAXI to Hollywood for the first time, not only is it NOT her song, but she wouldn't know a Jay-Z lyric if it hit her in the face. Okay girl, I know you're young, but if you're going to sing a song, you should probably know what you're singing about. One word: Credibility. Now go put some clothes on before someone calls the Pedobear.
I just wish that I could have something more substantial running through my ears and into my brain on a daily basis. This is the reason why I can't watch MuchMusic anymore, because it's all the same thing. Catchy songs featuring some cute young thing but where is the actual talent?
Fellow bloggers, PLEASE suggest to me some GOOD music to listen to, with the hopes of pushing Miley, Britney, The Pussycat Dolls, and all those other pop puppets out of my head. I'll love you forever.

Another wee rant about working in retail...
Scroll on by if you don't like people bitching about their jobs. Because that's what I'm going to do now.
#1 People Who Stay Past Closing
If you are one of those people who liked to go into a store ten minutes before closing and not leave until quarter after, I enthusiastically encourage you to light yourself on fire. You make my life suck. I deal with stupid people who don't know their ass from their elbow all day long, and then YOU come along, mess up all the walls and tables that I cleaned (because you know, we're closing in ten minutes), and then you keep on shopping even when you watch us turn off the music and PULL THE DOOR ACROSS. Then, you keep trying stuff on, even when we've TOLD you that the store is in fact closed, and then you don't buy anything and leave a giant mess for us to clean up.
When people keep shopping even ten minutes after the store is closed, we usually have to stay an average of 20 minutes later because we have to clean the whole store in addition to RE-cleaning everything that you messed up, and put away all the clothes you didn't want. Honestly. Don't you know that we have lives that we'd like to get back to sometime tonight? When the store is closed, the store is closed.
#2- Stinky Families
Several times a week, entire groups of people come into the store together, and they all STINK. They stink like body odor! The kind of body odor that smells like a cross between wet feet and onions. You know what I'm talking about. Entire families. They stink up my fitting rooms, the point where OTHER customers complain to me about the smell, and then they try on clothes and make the CLOTHES smell.
Stinky person, I ask you: HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW THAT YOU STINK? How long do you have to forgo showering until you reach that level of stench? It almost makes me want to experiment, but I'm pretty sure that I am conscious of what I smell like, and take active measures to ensure that smell is pleasant. It just boggles my mind, how someone could smell so bad that people around them have to breathe through their mouths.
To add to this stinky business, what is with people who don't take care of their oral hygiene? There is a lady who frequents the old store I used to work at, and we actually nick-named her "Death Breath" because that's what she smelled like. She smelled like a rotting carcass wrapped in tinfoil and left in a field on a sunny day. I hope you're not reading this close to mealtime. It doesn't make sense how someone could completely ignore the state of their teeth to the point where they're brown and they smell like my dad's farts.
I beg of you, people of the world. If you smell bad, don't go to public places until you have fixed the problem. It's not a difficult thing to do. Soap, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant. All of these things are widely available in Canada and for affordable prices.
This has been a Public Service Announcement brought to you by me.

Happy Dance!!!
I did a much less graceful version of that dance down in my basement just now. Wanna know why? Because I'm going to see my wonderful boyfriend on December 30th!! That's right, folks. In about a month and a half, I'm hopping on a plane and flying straight into the arms of my beloved and its going to be GREAT!
I gotta tell you, though, for a minute there I thought it wasn't going to happen. First of all, the parentals were SO not down for it. In fact, they're still kinda iffy but they're letting me do it anyway. It's my Christmas present (MERRY CHRISTMAS TO MEEEE!)
THEN, I had to mad-rush to book the tickets tonight because apparently its the last night that the prices were going to be this low! Have you ever booked plane tickets with Air Canada before? More stress than I thought imaginable. Every second page, it said I had an error and had to start over again. THEN, just as I pushed "Purchase", the company oh so conveniently raised my ticket fare by $25. But by that point, I just didn't care because I was so worried that it would never let me book the damn tickets at all.
Buuuut it all worked out and now I get to spend New Years with my sweet Chris!! I'm so excited I had to blog. And now its back to schoolwork!
YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!

Dumb things that make me lol when I'm tired
It's Friday night and am I out at a club, getting my dance on? Or my drink on? Or my stand-awkward-in-the-corner-holding-a-pepsi on? No, I am not. I am at home, in my Pjams, drinking a DIET Pepsi and discovering the best that the internet has to offer. Lets begin.
WUT. This is just funny. Autotune makes Kanye sound 100% more ridiculous than he does in real life and I'd like a Charlie of my very own, please.
Looks like me when my dad buys cookies but wont share.
OMG I thought this was legit at first! Makes me want to conduct experiments...
Oh to be in first year university again. Not that that ever happened to me...
I don't care if it's not funny at all. If I laughed at it in my sleep-deprived state, it's going on the blog. I died while watching this.
LOL This video combines llamas, silly hats, and random acts of violence. I approve.
And my brain just fell out of my head. Polar bear says goodbye!

p.s. I found these videos on ONTD's FFAF. If you don't know what that is, you don't deserve to know ;)
Self-teaching starts now. I'm too tired to explain the beauty of ONTD

What the Hell? It’s Christmas Already??
Okay, the West Edmonton Mall can do whatever it wants.
For those of you who do not know, I work in a women’s retail store in a mall. As far as jobs go, its not the worst I’ve had but there are just certain times when working there makes me want to grind my own head into the ground. I could probably go on forever about the various things that irk/anger me, but I think today I’ll focus on one major problem that has me considering the study of pyrotechnics:
Halloween’s over, time for Christmas!!
Please tell me why I have to come in to work every other day and listen to Christmas music TWO MONTHS before the actual holiday?? I’ve had like three people come in to buy Christmas gifts, and they certainly did not need festive carols to help them make their decision. The only saving grace on this month’s CD? Two Bon Jovi songs. Goody.
Hint: If the customers are complaining that it is way too early for Christmas music to be playing in the store, then it’s probably too early for Christmas music to be playing in the store. Most of them aren’t even thinking about presents yet and the fact is, I have yet to see how playing Christina Aguilera’s ear-scraping rendition of “The Christmas Song” or four (count ‘em FOUR) different versions of “Santa Baby” actually persuades people to stop their own lavish self-pampering and think of others when it is still just the very beginning of November.
Lets not even mention that there are a
Your Jedi mind tricks don’t work on me, and those ARE the droids I am looking for. Jerk.
Alas, there is not much that I can do. Malls will continue to be ridiculously early on all their holiday marketing, and it’s the poor employees who suffer the most. I just hope that my store’s new CD doesn’t have “Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time” by Paul McCartney. I’d rather scrape a fork along my teeth than listen to that crappy song ever again.
And so ends my rant. I’ve fixed my options so now you don’t need to have a Blogger account to comment on my posts. So comment! About anything! What do you think about malls playing Christmas music as soon as they put the Halloween decorations away? How resistant are you to Jedi mind tricks? What is the WORST Christmas song/remix you’ve ever had the displeasure of listening to?
That’s all folks!

First..... Post???? Yip yip yip yip yip...
So this is my first blog post, and I think it's going to be mighty fine. These past couple of days have been rather interesting for me, because I have reconnected with my youth in the most fantastic way.
I have rediscovered Sesame Street. YouTube has successfully reminded me of how awesome my childhood was.
According to Wikipedia (that's right, I reference Wikipedia. Deal with it), Sesame Street premiered on November 10, 1969. That was just a good year, and not just because of the hippies. Jim Henson's lovable band of Muppets first appeared on our television screens 40 years ago, and today it is still a big part of everyone's youth.
So, in celebration of this remarkable milestone, I have done what any self-respecting child born in the '80's would do. I changed my Facebook picture to an image of Snuffleupagus, and spent the past two lunch hours YouTube binging all my favourite Sesame Street skits. My fellow PR classmates, if you were perturbed by my muffled shrieks of laughter, its only because I had long forgotten how amazing the Yip Yip Martians are.
Nothing better.
My wonderful boyfriend and I have also decided that we are going to don Yip Yip costumes for Halloween 2010, and subsequently blow the minds of humanity the world over.
I probably watched too much TV for my own good as a child, but here is a small list of some of my favourites (or the ones I can remember, anyway):
Sesame Street
Barney (don't judge)
Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (the original, duh)
He-Man and She-Ra!
The Three Stooges
Tailspin
Duck Tales
The Real Ghostbusters
Join In
Under The Umbrella Tree
Sharon, Lois and Bram's Elephant Show!
to name a few. I could go on and on and on. Those were the days.
I hope that you enjoyed my little trip down memory lane. I ask you now, members of the Blogosphere, what awesome television shows did YOU watch as a child?
♥♥♥,
Monica
