Consuela

Everything that has been going on in my life lately...is crap. Well, mostly crap. For starters, my siblings and I were unable to get in touch with my mother for about a week. Last time I saw her, she was drunk, sitting in the den, pistol on the chair next to her. That is why we were scared she had killed herself. Not that she is suicidal or anything. I am just prone to always think the worst.

Then, there is my brother. He went from smoking a pack a day, doing X twice a week, cussing like a person who cusses a whole lot, sharing a bed with his girlfriend, and drinking like something that drinks a lot of alcohol but is not an alcoholic by any means, to going to every single church meeting at Pocahontas Baptist Church just off of Kickapoo road and giving up all of the things I mentioned above. To most, this would be considered a good thing. I would be great with it other than it all happened overnight. I am using "overnight" literally. On VD night, something happened that scared him to the point of changing so drastically. I would just blame it on "The Passion of Christ" or whatever, but it had not started at that point.

Then there is my stalker.

...

Then there was the whole which card do I buy for NN? I couldn't decide between three, so I got all three. Now, I just need to give them to her with her birthday gift. Although, I am beginning to think that by the time I see her again, she'll be turning 29...*cough*hint hint*sputter*

Everything is going well with myself and Guapo. Still not comfortable with talking about him as this thing seems to be a curse on my love life.

What else? Hmmm...OH YEA!!

AIMLESS RANT...(Considering I have not done one in awhile, I may as well now.)

Where does hold music come from? Rather, from where does hold music come? I mean, it is not like you can go down to your local music shop (Bebop Records in my case) and ask for hold music. It used to be called elevator music, but as I have never heard music in an elevator, I refer to it as hold music. Do people ACTUALLY aspire to be Hold Musicians? Are there composers who work strictly in the hold synth arts? Is it a learned art or are there held prodigies? The only thing more annoying than that "music" is when they play the radio while you are on hold. I mean, if I wanted to listen to the radio, I'd...well...I'd listen to the radio. Does XM satellite radio have a station that only plays hold music? I doubt it. If XM doesn't have a station devoted to it, it is a pretty safe bet that it should not be played. OH, and when they play some super synth mid-90's midi sounding crap, then, interrupt it with some ultra fake nice lady saying, "Your call is very important to us. Please stay on the line for the next available representative." They tell you this every twenty to thirty seconds, so after hearing it about forty times, you begin to question their sincerity. I want the job of the hold voice. That'd be pretty cool. Probably the most well known voice in the country. Still annoying as hell. I mean, who decided people are soothed by listening to bad synth 80's instructional video/porn music while having a woman interrupt every two seconds to let you know how important you are?!? Hold music just bothers me. What more can I say about it? Well, I can say alot more, but as I am at work now and am currently being paid to write this (apparently), I had better go and do my job for now.

Later Consuela.

Journal, I christen thee "Consuela"! Refreshments will be served in the back.
