moving... oy!

well we're 95% moved into our new apartment!

i'm still going to be in dallas, just moving down the street a bit to a new place with frank and jake. it's a cute townhouse with hardwood floors downstairs, a living room to die for and we can paint any of the walls and not have to worry about painting them back! i know it sounds silly, but in the world of the perpetual renter... that's a fun amenity. it's very HOUSE feeling inside and we've already met half out neighbors--they're super friendly. one guy is throwing a brunch in the courtyard right outside our front door sunday morning before the dallas pride parade.

i'll have pics up at some point. now i just have to finish getting the last random things moved that the movers didn't take... like my computer... we don't have the internet set up yet at the new place, so i'm stuck to checking email and whatnot from my cell phone for awhile, which is tricky.

i'm officially on "vacation" until next tuesday, so i've got time to get all this junk finished. AND i've got time to enjoy pride weekend. the 2008 alan ross texas freedom parade is sunday at 2pm on cedar springs. i'll be there with some of my favorite peeps.

just wanted to give everybody an update. have a great weekend!

find me everywhere!

don't understand

i don't understand people.

people in restaurants.

people in stores.

they're rude. they're selfish. they seem to forget that the person interracting with them is, in fact, another human being.

that human being might be having a bad day. they could have just gotten really bad news. they could be sick. they could be stressed about a loved one. and they're just trying to get through the day.... and then these rude, selfish people show up.

and these rude, selfish people ignore the person in front of them. they speak down to them. they yell, they swear, they argue. and for what?

to get that appetizer comped because they waiter didn't fill the water glass fast enough...

to save the $1.03 on a tee shirt because they didn't read the sign correctly...

what happened to treating people with just a bit of decency?

i don't understand.

i guess it could be worse.

it could be someone you know treating you badly.

a friend, a family member... taking you for granted, using you, hurting you emotionally or even physically, and really just being rude and selfish.

i REALLY don't understand that.

i guess we have to hope that what goes around really does come back around... so they'll get what they deserve in the end...

but in the meantime i still don't understand.
