Close Encounters of The Real People Kind 3: The Rollerskate Kid

So I think this story is pretty funny, but I feel like its one of those "You had to be there" type stories, but I'm gonna try my best to make it so that you're their too. So that you can giggle about this odd little happenstance in my life. (not sure if happenstance is the right word here, but it seems to fit I think.)

Anyway I was walking around with my friend, who I was visiting because he lives close to my school and this was during the summer. We were just walking to the train station because I had to go home and somehow we got stuck behind this kid with rollerskates. Now this kid seemed like he was having a lot of fun on his roller skates, but he clearly did not know how to use rollerskates. He was so slow and he was about to fall down, and I was late for the train... and it was just kind of funny.

Where the hell were these kids parents? Did he just sneak out of the house? Were they there with him and he was just "so fast on his rollerskates" that he was so far ahead of them? I mean it's Newark, it isn't like its the safest city in the entire world! And this kid was totally about to fall.

And another funny thing about the situation is that its damn near impossible to go on a nice walk in Newark, New Jersey, or really any city probably. I mean anytime you want to be alone and go for a nice walk, chances are you'll see someone crazy, someone will be blasting songs like "Ass Like That" or "Magic Stick" and it will smell like skunks. So I guess in comparison, kid on rollerskates not quite as bad, but still its pretty funny.

Anyway, like I said it was kind of a "you had to be there" moment, but this is my blog. I was there and I find it entertaining so this blog is really just for me, and if you like it too then good for you Glen Coco, you go Glen Coco.

Tomorrow I'm going to try to make up a story or poem or something I think. If I can'r do that I'll figure somethin out, but thats the plan.

Anyway lemme know if you like me and if you like this blog. Tell your friends to read it so that they think I'm cool too and yeah. Just do stuff and live because we don't have many other options do we now?

Byeeeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
