Mount up Monday – The Ole! edition

Happy Monday morning, Voxiverse! (Or feliz manana de lunes, I think)

Not only is it Cinco de Mayo (not Mexican Independence Day), but it's a Mount up Monday. That's right, get on your horses and ride!

I wish to the heavens that I was off today, enjoying margaritas and basically getting sloppy falling down drunk with the rest of the revelers, but alas, I have bills to pay so I'm at work. I will have to settle for mango margaritas when we get home. (Made with fresh mangos off the tree in the back yard, deee-licious!)

Speaking of mangos, our tree is exploding with those bad boys so it will be time soon for my mango-cheesecake delight. So tasty.

The weekend was as good as a weekend could be. Tons of fun on Friday night watching the Marlins knock around the Padres. Most of Saturday was spent catching up on homework. I've really got to try to plan better so I don't end up doing that. Much more interesting things to be done on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Sunday was errand day and more homework.

I can't even begin to put into words the way the time is just flying by. I honestly used to dread Mondays, but now I actually look forward to them because it means I'm one week closer to gettin that paper. I started looking into Microsoft certifications and nearly swallowed my tongue when I found out how expensive the classes are. And it isn't like there's just one class. I'm just guessing here, but I think it would cost me another 10 grand to get two certifications, and that could very well be an underestimate. Yikes! Oh well, one step at a time. I'm trying to self-teach myself PHP since I do know a little about it. I've got this 200 page tutorial to get through. After that, SQL. The fun never ends.

Maybe I'll give myself some goals for the week on MUM. Here's this week:

Finish homework before Friday
Stretch for at least an hour daily (pole class in one week!)
Read 20 pages of the tutorial

Yeah, that's enough. I'll start small.

Well, I hope that you all pasen un buen dia. Hasta luego…..

Seriously?!?!

I call shenanigans on the cashier at CVS who asked me for ID to buy 5-hour energy. I just read every word on the package and the only thing it says is not for use by children under 12 years of age. TWELVE!!

I'm in freaking work clothes for pete's sake! I only complied because, well, I really want it due to being up at the ass crack and needing to be awake for at least 8 more hours and because I already had my wallet open. But seriously, be realistic, would ya?

ROCO Friday – Get loose, ya’ll!

First and foremost, get your sway on! Feel the rhythm of the ROCO flowing through your veins. If it tells you to get up, then GET UP! If it says to yell out, then YELL OUT!

TESTIFY!

Good people of the ROCO congregation, thank you for joining me in another celebration of the day we all love, Friday. And like Smokey said: "I know you don't smoke weed, I know this; but I'm gonna get you high today, 'cause it's Friday; you ain't got no job… and you ain't got shit to do."

That's right, I'm gonna get you high today, but we'll be high on Friday. Hit the weekend bong cuz it's right around the corner. Now, Puff puff, give. Puff puff, give. You fuckin' up the rotation.

It's been an excellent week for the head of the ROCO flock. Ain't nuttin bad happen to a muhfuh this week. Even the dog didn't pee on the floor this week which means that there was none of this: I grab a dog. I choke him and I kick the shit out of him. All day long got my foot up a dog's ass. Just bang, bang, bang up his ass. That's my pleasure.

WEEEEEEEELLLLLLL!

Now, while I've got you here, ROCO congregation, please someone let me know who stole April. I swear just yesterday was the first of the month! I don't mind the time flying on by though, because the sooner we make it on over to February 2010, the sooner I will graduate and be able to be more in control of my life.

PREACH IT!

Oh, and where is my stimulus check?!?! Does the IRS not know that Playing with my money is like playing with my emotions, Smokey. (Just kiddin Mr. Tax Man. You take your time, but not too long, okay? Please?) Mama need a new pair of shoes!

Let's bring it down a notch for just a moment, my people. I need to mention something serious. Why could the Penguins not pull off the sweep last night?!?! Jerks. Just because you didn't HAVE to win, doesn't mean that you couldn't have done it anyways. Do you know what I wanted to say to the Rangers and their fans today? Do you?? You just got knocked the FUCK out! But no, now we have to play them again. At least it'll be at home though.

I want to thank each memeber of the congregation for joining me here today. I can only keep ROCO Fridays alive with your help. So when the collection plate comes down your aisle, remember that it's better to give than it is to receive. I would also like to thank the members who were with me in spirit this morning. Guiding my hand on the wheel when I had to drop off Kiddo at school at 4 FREAKING AM so she could go on a school field trip and I forgot to put my glasses on. A much appreicated thanks.

With that, my good people, I must bid you farewell. There are people out there that must be recruited into the flock. I usually knock on their doors on Saturday morning but they're getting wise to my ways. That does not mean that I will not keep making the ROCO presence known. And why, might you ask, do I keep pressing on? Because every Friday, I like to be able to say that For most people, Friday's just the day before the weekend. But after this Friday, the neighborhood'll never be the same.

ROCO!
