my 300th post on Blogger

I can't believe I have this many posts, but then again, being as random as I am, it's not that big of a surprise. I'm still not counting my other posts on the MySpace and Xanga blogs. for shits and giggles, I went on my Xanga blog a couple of weeks ago and couldn't get over how old those thoughts were. Total flashback to memories and certain people, some of whom are still very close, and some... i guess weren't meant to be.

but that's why I blog. there are peeps out there who are making $$$ by posting up, but this has always been about keeping a record of where i am in my right now. take the good and take the bad, but hopefully each one is honest and truthful, cuz in the end, this blog is for me and not for anyone else. a place to vent. a place to wonder. a place to answer hundreds of questions about "what's on your bed right now?". it's not just a place - it's my place. something to call my own and take responsibility for. 95% of these words are random pieces of life, but i'm always hoping somewhere in that 5% excess, is something that will inspire and leave a lasting thought of me when i move onto the next phase of my soul's existence.

before i turn in, here's more new things from today and over the weekend:

New thing #7: I got a salad from the mexican restaurant down the street. bbq chicken salad. the one at my old work kicks this one's ass out the door, but still okay.

New thing #8: I crossed the new bridge that connects Martinez and Benicia. Hecka fricken cool span over the water.

New thing #9: Discovered the Boniere Bakery on Park Street here in alameda. I'm part of the Birthday Club at work. how it works: you buy a birthday cake for the next person after your birthday. prior to getting the cake, you have to make sure that the person's cake is what they want. So got a 1/4 sheet of chocolate cake with cocoa-butter cream filling with whipped cream icing! So ono! And I chose them because they were the first bakery listed in the google search: bakery alameda.

New thing #10: I picked up these spinach filled pasteries from the farmers market in Marina. They're supposed to be Libyan food, so I had some food from Lybia! That's new and they were GOOD!
