I'm a horrible person. I was walking around this afternoon. I seem to be in the midst of a allergy attack. It's a little odd since I don't usually have allergies at all. Anyway, I was carrying some bags because as I walking around I bought some food. I was walking home, when these two people came running out of their house carrying what looked to be an unconscious child. He was blue in the face. There was another person standing there, a passerby, she was calling 911.

I just walked away. I don't know the etiquette for these things. I mean, there was nothing I could do, I don't know CPR and 911 was already being called. I still feel like I did something morally wrong by just walking away. What could I have done? I have no idea. Was I supposed to try to offer support to hyspterical people I don't know?

What I do know is that I will never get the image of the suffocating child out my head. It was the singularly most disturbing thing I have wittnesed in my life.

I'm disgusting.
Ok, back to the old mac. I'm not sure what I was so excited about last time. I mean, sure it's nice to be able to change my colors and what not, but really, who cares. This is a blog. This is not myspace, or facebook, or whatever else is centered more on graphics. This blog, as I have birthed it, has been about writing. I can post whatever I want in terms of writing with this lovely computer, hereby known as mac (I am aware of the un-originality of this just so you know, but I like it). So mac and I are back again writing for... Ok, I haven't yet figured that out yet. For fun I guess, because I like writing. I'll just leave it at that.

So, since last I wrote I went to the beach. I played miniature with Rich, he won of course. He always wins. I'm not sure i've ever won at anything actually. I don't just mean games with Rich, just in general. I mean I've won awards at school, but I guess I mean game wise. Anyway, I'm rambling. So, we went to the beach, played mini golf, lay on the beach for a while and then... I'm trying to remember what we did and also when we did it. I know we had dinner at Rich's house two nights, and I made dinner one night. I don't think we went out at all that weekend, not for dinner anyway. We went to Oasis cafe I think on the same night we went to the beach. I know I made lemon chicken (very good by the way) on Monday evening. We ate Rich's house on Sunday night, that was steak night. It was very very good. I think I'm officially done with that weekend. I'll talk to Rich, maybe he can clear up my memory lol.

Anyway, the following weekend, or this past one if that's what you'd like to call it, Rich went back to Gettysburg PA to build some fences on the battle field. I'm not sure I get it exactly, you're just gonna have to ask Rich about that. Anyway, Friday night I ate at home with my mom and Harold. I just fell asleep watching TV eventually. Saturday, I sat around not doing much of anything until the afternoon. Then I went to Austin St. and tried to do some chores (stupid Verizon stores). I ended up getting picked up by my mom, and we went shopping. Sunday, a cousin of mine, of some degree, had a birthday party. It was her 95th. So my mom, Harold, my cousin Bernard and his mom all went together. The shopping my mom and I had done was for this birthday party. I mean surrounded my relatives you haven't seen in years and years, you gotta look good, no? So, that lasted longer than we thought it would. We didn't get home until maybe 6:30. I couldn't really eat anything at the party, not my kind of food. So, when we got home I made a multi cheese baked ziti. I had half and my mother ate the other half. I finally just fell asleep.

Monday was pretty much normal. Rich came home that day. I didn't see him though, he was too tired and achy (no more fences!). Later in the day I went to work. Apparently, there was a half day for students, so there were only three students per class. Tuesday, was just Tuesday. I didn't do much of anything. Wednesday was going pretty much the same as Tuesday... until the mail came.

I got into Queens College!!! After sharing my news with everyone I could think of via phone, or text message, I walked to my father's house. I ended up spending the day completely alone. My father didn't get home until about 11:30pm. He just took me home when he got back. So that was my Tuesday. Wednesday I spent a lot of time on the phone with Rich. I was in a lot of pain, still am kinda. I have my period. Anyway, I walked to my dad's house, we had dinner (pizza), and then Rich came over. We hung around my dad's house for a while then he took me to a cafe. After that he had to go home. He's working today, so he had to wake up early.

Today, I woke up late since I couldn't fall asleep last night. Then my dad picked me up and we went food shopping. He's going away for the next few days, so I'm house and cat sitting. I'm not working today because it's Brooklyn/Queens Day. Please don't ask me to explain that, I can't. So, all it means to me, is that I don't have work today and that all the schools in Brooklyn/Queens are closed to students today as well. Later I might see an old friend, might not. Who knows? I might see Rich, might not. I will probably just go to sleep and curl up with my cat.

So, that's been my life for the past week-ish. I will continue to keep you updated, because I know you all care so much.
