Roll, Bounce, Rock, Skate
So, uh, yeah, it’s been a sec since my last entry. Wow. Look at that. Well, not much to really report. Just working the 9- 5 (technically 8-5, but I digress) thing, and trying to enjoy life a bit more.
As I type this, I’m fricking starving because I tried to stagger my morning arrival (going out to kick it with a lady friend) and completely misjudged the time. On top of that, the train decided it wanted to wait at every other platform from anywhere between 30 – 90 seconds.
Meaning, the staff-wide monthly meeting had to be my first stop, meaning I didn’t get a chance to go through my emails first to see if anything pertinent was waiting for me. Meaning, I missed breakfast, which is why I’m hungry as hell AS I type this.
On another note, my sister’s skate party was pretty darn fun. I didn’t fall at all, there was a plethora that’s right, damnit) of good food, and a decent turn out.
Would have been nice if more folks skated, but hey, I had fun. The only blow was that I made this 80’s playlist specifically for my sister, knowing what she liked, and also keeping in mind tempo, etc. The “DJ”, who was the most non-hio hop dude ever, took it upon himself to deviate from the list and play stuff that just didn’t work.
Now, when he played Heavy D, I was like, cool. And when he played Kool Moe Dee, I was like, cool. But when he played Moe Dee again, and Rakim twice, and decided to play En Vogue, Montell Jordan & Wrecks in Effect, which were all clearly 90’s artists…I had a problem. Granted, En Vogue dropped in late 80’s, but what he played was 90’s. Wack! So, Tears for Fears, Wham! & Rob Base (just to name a few) didn’t get run because DJ “I-don’t-have-anything-from-the-80’s-so-could-you-make-a-playlist-please?” wanted to add his two cents in. How do you work at a skating rink and not have anything from the 80’s? Seriously? Seriously?!
The playlist I made was numbered, sectioned and sequenced, all he had to do was press play. *sigh*
But the food was good. And I have to give it up to big sis, she really did go all out. She had all this old school candy like ring pops, big league chew, candy cigarettes, etc. Very nostalgic. Rest of the weekend was pretty much chilling with baby brother. Restful and low key. It was a good look.
