Beautiful People

I love beautiful people. Not the ones you see on magazines or on the TV screen. I love the ones who are kind, thoughtful and loving. The ones that enhance your life by kind words or gestures. The ones that you haven't seen in a long time and that can continue the friendship where it left off. The ones that don't get all pissed off if you can't do something with them. The ones who can help you see the silver lining in a ugly situation. The ones who you can sit in a room without saying a word and then bust out laughing. The ones who can cry with you when you are in pain. The ones who can be totally honest with you without being mean about it. The ones that help people from their heart without expecting anything in return. The ones who encourage you when you say I can't or it will never happen. The ones that understand you and don't judge you or your actions. Now you know why I love beautiful people.

40 Grand A Year

Someone me called me recently complaining that she couldn't find a job that would pay her 5 digits per year. Yup!! $40,000 is what she wanted with an 8th grade education, no computer skills, no college education or any type of work experience. The longest time she has held a job was 3 weeks. I told her HEY WAKE UP AND SMELL YOUR ARMPIT..IT STINKS AND SO DOES YOUR WORK RESUME!! She was startled by my words. I said you need to start somewhere and work your way up. She is too way to good to be working at a fast food place, a Home Depot or department store. (according to her standards) I don't know what happened to this disillusioned chica. She gave me a hint that she needed some money. I told her there are shelters that would help her with housing and help her get the job skills she needed. I hope she learns to help herself. I am just blown away that she feels anything less that 40 would be a waste of her time. How rude!!

Pinche Gata

On of my favorite words to say out loud when something irritates me is PINCHE It sounds a lot better than saying fuck. Anyway, most people don't understand the word PINCHE. (peen-chay) It is a curse word in the Spanish language. Don't want to give it all away though. As for Gata, that is the nickname my Brazilian friends gave me.
