costco is the best place in the whole world

costco is the only place we should all shop at ever again. everything there comes with a lifetime warranty without buying an extended warranty exceptcomputers which you only can return no questions asked within 6 months....so TV's are under warranty for your lifetime....woo hoo! so if you get sick of your TV in a couple of years you can return it with the receipt...so you get a full trade in value....plus you get snacks.

Greed is taking over at Fed Ex

as you can see by my latest entries see even really nice people get mad once in a while. Don't worry I was kidding about making voodoo dolls....everything is going to be ok.

so Fedex is getting greedier and greedier...starting to charge an extra 2 bucks for a signature....and at their fedex kindos to make copies you have to use a fedex card and put money on it...and of course you never use the whole thing and you end up with 20 fedex cards which you have no idea how much money is on each card. at least for the dC metro you knew how much money was on all 100 cards you had.

The Dreamers - movie review and "our cellphone"

there is a movie called the Dreamers we rented today and don't rent it...unless you enjoy incestuous french types and disembodied old movie clips. Also it would definitely be rated Morally Objectable by the Catholic Standard. Oh and big warning: never stay at a Frenchman's house.

so i had fun gettting my first movie rental membership here in greensboro. They wanted me to give them a copy bill and wanted to know where I worked. I told them I didn't work and was in school and had no bills. So they said with student id and my parents address I could get one anyway. Then they asked for an alternate phone number besides my cell phone....I told them that was my parents number too. ANd he said you have no home phone number and i said no. And so he said you and your parents share the same cell phone number and I said, with a straight face, yes we just share it. hahahahahahaha. It was one of those lies that you just start and then for no apparent reason just keep going to see how far you can take it. So here is the best part...he tells me that to rent moview I will just need to use my phone number and no problem hell give me the membership....THEN, he checks my movies out and says....hey your parents have an account heretoo. he must be wondering why I lied and I am wondering why he didn't confront me and say..hey we have your parents number since that is how they access their account. SIlly but it was fun to say I share a cell phone with my parents...."and we just have the one and we share". As you all can see you have to work for excitement and fun here in Greensboro.

Commander Barry passed away :(

very sad because I just found out that Commander Barry passed away. He was a very good friend of our family. Me and my parents love(d) him very very much. He was very very smart and had the best stories from growing up in DC and the Wars etc. and was just overall super nice and super cool(in his bad ass lincoln). I am PISSED his kids didn't contact our family about his death. His funeral was Wednesday and so we missed it...ERRRR! what is wrong with people today? my parents were his best friends!!!!! His kids seemed to neglect him when he was alive so I am not surprised. Anyway, I am happy to have had him in my life and will always remember him and how great he was.

revenge of the laser pointer

i think it would be pretty funny if someone from mon night class showed up with a laser pointer and while our video gaming teacher was lecturing with his laser pointer they could mess with him....cuz as I figure it ...everytime he is pointing he is also looking at the screen to see where to point...so it's the perfect evil plan because he can't see you doing it. Of course I would never do anything like that to a teacher but I did go low enough to shine one in my evil neighbors house at night to try and scare them out of the neighborhood- it never worked but it was entertaining for me. my neighbor ripped me off by never finishing some work I paid him for so I had to retaliate some how.

greensboring is helping out

Mighty Santos Greensboros is expecting hurricane victims to arrive today....they are coming into GSO airport and then to the convention center...all kinds of plans appear to be in place so people can make new homes here if they like.
Hopefully we will get some new swing dancers out of this. I think we should let our new friends in all the dance lessons and activities for free.

Renaissance Jazz Cafe

so there is swing dancing at theRenaissance Jazz Cafe on 1st and 3rd thursdays in mighty Santos Greensboros. Hopefully it will be the K2 of greensboros some day. I think they should have it every thursday and maybe bring in some various peoples to dj...like mwa-of course I suggested myself on the way out..haha. In greensboring I can get away with that because no one lives here and few travel here. my only problem with tonight is all of a sudden I have a sore throat so I suspect their was a hater in the crowd.
