Good Bye Bad Egg

Posted on

I decided that I needed to get rid of the bad eggs in my life I decided to say things that I should have said a long time ago.  I think that I am wasting my time and that in the end I will be alone because I refused to let people walk all over me .  I don’t have the strength to pick myself up again and again and again.  When will it be time for me to rest?

In my heart I knew that accepting this person back into my life as a friend was ludicrous.  I was encouraged and kept second guessing myself because all I ever hear over and over is how much of a bitch I am.  How mean of a person I am and so in an effort to show compassion I allowed myself to be convinced that I was something I was not by the people who actually lived up to this title.

I know I should never second guess myself. Desperation and shame can really have a lot of power though.  After the friendship ended with the recipient of this letter I was encouraged to forgive this person by the other person who was treating me the same way.  I wanted love and happiness in my life so badly that I believed I was the terrible person they told me I was and decided in an effort to prove that I wasnt a hateful person and that I could show forgiveness I let this person back in.

Dear DB,

The last words you will ever hear from me.

You can try to bring me down again but the REAL Carla is back and you don’t deserve to have ME as a friend.  So after you read this go ahead and bad mouth me to the world or do whatever you want to make me look bad because there is nothing you can do or say that will only in the end prove that you are nothing but a person who never deserved to have me as a friend. You will never make me doubt myself again and even though you succeeded for a while at keeping me down…. I’m here to tell you – GAME OVER.

I don’t know what happened to you that caused you to have so much hate inside you but I do feel sorry for you.  You have hurt me more than Steve Conner and he is the biggest villain in my life.  The reason you get this honor is because I loved you more than I ever loved him.  You broke my heart and I loved you from the bottom of my heart, you were my best friend.  I should have gone with my gut about you but I doubted myself because unlike you I do only want to become a better person.  I have made a lot of mistakes and that’s ok.  I am going to be ok with that and learn from them and do whatever it takes to change my life and make it better and if I fail, I fail.

You will never be given the opportunity to hurt me ever again.  I don’t know what happened to you that makes you feel so bad about yourself that you felt that taking me down and enjoying every minute of it was would be more rewarding than having me as a best friend.  You don’t deserve to have me as a best friend and you are lucky to have had me in your life.  I could never hate you and will never  feel the need to take revenge or get even because if you don’t make some changes in your life then you will one day be alone because the people who thought you were the person your portray yourself to be is really a very brilliant, cold, mean and spiteful person.   There is nothing worse than that and I hope that never happens to you because I don’t wish that on my worst enemy,

You are a brilliant villain. All I ever did was love you and from the day I met you I thought you were someone who was good on in the inside but you have proven to me that you are ugly on the inside with an agenda to hurt people to make yourself feel better.  I’m writing this to tell you that you will never be given the opportunity to hurt me again.

You make me feel so bad about myself and you take advantage of the fact that I have gone from the person I once was to someone who has fallen so low that I was too ashamed to ask for help because maybe I didn’t deserve it or wasn’t worth it. You tried to get the best of me.  You tried to break my spirit and steal it to pretend you are something you are not and you did achieve that but I’m here to tell you – you will never be me.  The hate and jealousy you have towards me will end up biting you in the ass and will be the revenge that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy, even you.

You say all the right things and do everything you can to appear to be someone who helps people because she is big hearted and generous and I see right through you.  You enjoyed watching me go to the bottom and I’m sorry that someone hurt you so bad that you felt to seek revenge on someone who had nothing but love for you.

Call anyone and take a survey with your “friends” and have them tell you that I’m the shitty person and then make it seem like you are just so big hearted that you are going to give me another chance.  I don’t need to ask anyone – I know you have never had my best interests at heart.  I see everything more clearly than ever and I will rise to the top and become the person I know I was destined to become.

I see now that people are really a good egg or a bad egg.  You are a bad egg.   There are no gray areas. You are just a phony.  You know damn well that you are.  It’s going to be the loneliest place with nothing but sadness when everyone sees you for the person you really are. I hope that doesn’t happen to you because unlike you I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.

You take from me and take advantage of the fact that I feel like I am so far gone that I don’t deserve love and certainly wouldn’t have the courage to pick myself up and try again. It was a choice between one last fight or death and I didn’t choose death because I will not allow people like you and Steve to take me down. I’m better than that and I will never forget that people do love me and I doubted that.  The only people who don’t love me are you and him.  I’m going to do whatever it takes to get my life back.

If you need some examples of things that you have done to me that prove to me that there is no doubt that you are an evil villain here are some examples in case you are baffled at my accusations and need evidence.

-          You borrow things and have never once returned anything even when you promised.

-          You disrespect my home and when you come over you make sure you leave it a mess for me to clean up.

-          You wanted your dogs to shit and piss on my new rug that night when I kept asking you to keep them out of my dining room.  When I come to your home I make sure to leave it in the same condition or better when I leave.

-          I would give you anything if you told me you needed it and I have.  You have taken those things and given them to others so you could take credit for being so generous.

-          I sent you an email from my landlord Sabrina for free movie passes and I heard you lie to him and front of me because you couldn’t say I forwarded them to you because it might make me look good and you can’t have that.

-          I gave you pillows and that memory foam that didn’t belong to me because I loved you and thought you deserved it more than the person it belonged to and I even told that person that I didn’t know where that memory foam when she asked if she could have it back for her mother who had cancer but that was a mistake.  That person even though we should have been enemies has proven to be a better friend than have been.  It’s weird how things work out like that.

-          You have no genuine concern for me and I know this for a fact.  Steve really made me doubt myself but if a person like him is defending your character then I know I that I should have never doubted myself.

-          You have been cruel to me and made me feel like I deserved it and I know now that I didn’t and you are the one that has to live with yourself for making those mistakes.

-          You badmouthed me to anyone that would listen and as convincing as you are not everyone bought what you were selling. So go ahead and tell anyone who will listen I know I’m not a bad person and in the end everyone will see you for the pathetic liar that you are.

-          You told me when I was the saddest that I ever was that if you were me then you would want to kill yourself too. I should have cut you out of my life then but I was weak and you took advantage of that to achieve things that you didn’t deserve.  I know you know this deep down.

-          I let you borrow my laundry basket to carry the memory foam I gave you that I should have given back to the person it belonged to and asked you to please return the basket and you can’t even do that.  You are just as if not more selfish than your sister who probably is really not that selfish but just victimized by you.

-          You never sent me a list of items you promised to put together for Steve.  It’s you not me that doesn’t keep their word.

-          I always helped you when you said you needed to make money and you have never once done that for me. You are an amazing massage therapist but you will never hear me give you a referral because you don’t deserve it.

-          You want me to give up on myself and feel I don’t deserve anymore chances and that’s really sad that you feel so much hate towards me that you would do that to someone you claimed was a best friend.

-          You and I always talk about how I have hurt you and mistakes I have made in our friendship and you have never once admitted or addressed the things you have done and you KNOW this.  I have no doubt in my mind that your intentions towards me were never genuine and good.  Say anything to dispute this to make yourself feel better because I know that you know the truth deep down.

-          You didn’t acknowledge me on my birthday knowing it would break my heart… you sent me Steins cake in NY, DB, you know you how much you were hurting me when you chose to ignore me this year.

-          I asked you many times to return my strapless bra… you couldn’t even do that for me – that is how selfish you are and it makes you an ugly person.

I could go on but it’s not worth my time. You know what you have done is wrong and you have to live with yourself and that’s worse than any bad thing you have ever said about me or choose to say in the future.

I really did love you and cherished our friendship and I was heartbroken when I realized you were on a revenge mission and took pleasure in watching me fall to the lowest place in my life.

I know now that you don’t deserve to have me as a friend.  It’s not me that doesn’t deserve you as a friend.  I know that deep down you know this but are you gracious enough to admit it.

I wouldn’t bet the farm on that but who knows maybe one day you will prove me wrong but I am not going to hold my breath…. I absolutely welcome it though.

I love the 80s

hell yes. I love any excuse to get out the crimper or my pretty in pink prom dresses that I keep obsessively buying on half price Wednesday at the goodwill. I spent five hours last halloween backcombing my hair to look like Nikki Sixx.

Admitting all that is way less embarrassing than deciding to jump on the I heart Justin Beiber bandwagon. or joining a no sex until marriage cult.

I had fun in the 80s.

Tons of fun.

Ahhhhhh Memories.

Love your blog.

Talking to Girls About Duran Duran I love the '80s, and I am not ashamed. The 1980s, that is. The 1880s were jam-packed with interesting phenomena, to be sure; however, no matter how many serious, "grown-up" books I read, sometimes what I need to make it through the day is a healthy dose of cheese-tastic teenage nostalgia.

Can Anyone REALLY Explain What This Means Exactly?

marijuana-induced crime?

Seriously? What the fuck is a marijuana induced crime? Who makes this stuff up? More importantly, who really believes that this is a REAL problem in the world?

Make me understand.

Windows 7 I Hate You and The Version of Windows on My Cell Phone TOO

Posted on
Windows 7 I Hate You and The Version of Windows on My Cell Phone TOO

I have had enough of WINDOWS. I am tired of getting sucked into hours and hours of troubleshooting with Microsoft, the geek squad best buy and AT&T’s help desk. What prompted this post today? Hmmmm…

Well lets see my alarm on my phone (an AT&T Tilt 2 – I actually paid for this phone) went off again at 5 AM.  I have never set my alarm for 5 AM… trust me no one wants to see me at 5 AM – I am a beast in the morning.  My phone which is windows based (im on my second one in 6 months, btw) is always freezing up, changing settings, running programs I didnt open and even with extra memory is the slowest thing ever.   I cant even download cool apps like my iPhone friends because that makes my phone even slower. I cant delete anything because “its all part of the operating system”.  I’m sorry I hardly think that Diner Dash 2 (im devastated I missed out on diner dash 1) and Astraware Sodoku (is that even english) are necessary to keep my phone running properly.

I am not a technical person. I dont know any better until I spend hours figuring it out myself or until I hear the real truth from someone who is truly technical.   No one can even troubleshoot my phone properly – after two hours on the phone with some kid at the At&T help desk the best solution he could come up with was telling me to go outside and walk down the street until I am in range of a different phone tower. After 9PM  night. In bed-stuy Brooklyn.  I’m sorry but basically everything is closed after 9PM and I don’t need to be roaming the streets in the dark looking for a phone tower.  Great Job training that dude, AT&T.

So after personally visiting the AT&T store and then being sent to the AT&T warranty center (which used to be this great discount store next to Jacks 99 Cent World – Yes Edith its true) I left with no solution…. they are sending me another phone.  All my settings and contacts will be gone because the WINDOWS Version on my phone isn’t compatible with the Windows 7  that is on my laptop.

Are you fucking serious?  What kind of Microsoft la la land am I being FORCED to live in.  I dont recall signing a lease…. I want out.

My laptop has windows 7 and my experience with the laptop has not been as miserable as my experience with my HTC Tilt 2 phone. However, the longer I have this computer the more issues I have.  No, I dont want to automatically  open Windows Media CENTER (not player) when I log on.  Thanks for taking it upon yourself to add my photos into a slide show for me on media center – I love when I see a naked photo of myself scroll by that I know isnt even saved in my “photo library”.

I promptly deleted this Windows Media Center and right after I did  I started having problems.  This time I went into a local Best Buy store and took it to the Geek Squad (a service that we paid EXTRA for) so they could look at it in person and I could avoid any situation that might be similar to my AT&T experience. I was wrong… I just ended up embarrassing myself in public by yelling at the girl who turned my computer on and pressed a button and then concluded that I destroyed my entire operating system because I uninstalled Windows Media Center. She couldnt find the program anywhere because I totally deleted it and I was not supposed to do that.   I was told to go home and call Toshiba and request to be sent recovery disks and then back up my computer onto a hard drive then wipe everything off the computer and start all over again.

Oh really… thanks for your help, Jazmin.   Too bad I went home and clicked on “computer” and then “program files” and guess what I found – yes, it was the oh so hard to find “windows media center”.   All I had to do was restore this program… after doing this something was still wrong and after complaining to my friend Josh he told me all I had to do was restore my computer to a day that I know my computer settings were working properly… That literally took 5 min.  Thank you Josh, and your technical brother. The thing that irritates me about this the most is that Jazmin has a job (and clearly she sucks) and I don’t…

My main complaint is why is it necessary to overload me with programs and redundant menus and options?  Why cant I pick and choose what I want on MY PHONE and MY LAPTOP?  Why is every fucking think linked to Facebook?  Why cant I remove programs I will never use that take up space on my devices?  I know they all are not part of the operating system?  Why does windows save your documents in the “documents” folder and “my documents”?  I dont need to save my stuff in TWO LOCATIONS on my laptop.  WHY WHY WHY is that necessary.  When I finally deleted one of the locations after hours of reading on microsoft help online for what seemed like forever about why that it is set up like that I STILL dont understand.

I think Microsoft is insulting my intelligence and I dont appreciate it one bit.  Well, finally it returned – my angst and hate of anything corporate America.   Thanks Microsoft, AT& T, Best Buy and The Geek Squad for reminding me how much I hate corporate greed and the Big Fat White Corporate Jack Asses that you are forced to work for.

If Windows 7 didnt suck then why would they choose to have a marketing campaign with regular people in their commercials taking credit for Windows 7 being their idea?  If I meet anyone who claims that windows anything was their idea I will hit them with my latptop bag, kidnap them and force them to listen to MY list of issues I have with Microsoft related programs until shit changes… I dont wish that on my worst enemy.  He he.

It’s Only Love That Gets You Through (According to Sade)

Posted on

I was going to get on my soap box this morning but I just dont have any fight in me today. Instead enjoy this song. Its beautiful – I still have it on repeat.

XXOO Carla

Girl you are rich even with nothing And you know tenderness comes from pain It’s amazing how you love And love is kind and love can give And get no gain

It’s down a rugged road you’ve come Though you had every reason You didn’t come undone Somehow you made it to the other side You didn’t suffer in vain

You forgive those who have trespassed against you And you know tenderness comes from pain It’s amazing how you love And love is kind and love can give And love needs no gain

You didn’t suffer in vain You know it’s only love That gets you through Only love, it’s only love It’s only love that gets you through

Decision Making can be Downright Crippling to A Control Freak

Decision Making can be Downright Crippling to A Control Freak

So while reading blogs this morning I found a new one I really love and you should check it out if you have time.  In one of the posts “How to Make the Right Decision” the writer asks the following question:

Is it smarter to compromise your happiness and not follow the direction that you want your life to take, all in the name of pragmatism?

I think because of my tendencies to go overboard with my pros and cons lists I sometimes make things much harder on myself.   So I will try to put the lists away and actually take action and stop letting fear hold me back.

We’ll see how it goes.

Or I’ll fall flat on my face.

To read more interesting blog posts who clearly has a brain – Check out Pearsonified This blog also claims to be the best damn blog on the planet AND its super fast.  Damn this guy for making it to OZ and getting to the Wizard before me… I’m still looking for the yellow brick road.   I refuse to accept a rain-check for a brain.

Have a great weekend.

Fuck You Corporate America

Posted on

Just a reminder of why I loathe Corporate America… Happy Reading.  XOXO Carla

 

How do corporations stay in business despite image damage and major lawsuits? They rely on:

The Ten Commandments of corporate fudging from Corporate Mafia:

1. DENY a problem even exists.

2. MINIMIZE the risks and emphasize the benefits. Try to confuse the public with terms such as “acceptable levels” and “genetic susceptibility.”

3. DISTRACT public attention by focussing on other issues.

4. STALL for time by demanding more studies (an old ploy of the tobacco industry).

5. JUSTIFY a problem by explaining that everything in life involves risks including going to bed.

6. CONCEAL damaging information (both industry and government have kept the public in the dark about critical health risks, e.g. the dangers of radioactivity).

7. BLAME the victim: cancer isn’t caused by industry, but by one’s genes. The problem isn’t the substance: it is a person’s susceptibility (A former tactic of the asbestos industry).

8. RETALIATE with your own research to “prove” outside research is wrong in claiming a product is harmful to public health or the environment.

9. UNDERMINE proposed new laws by persuading politicians to weaken them.

10. THREATEN to relocate a plant elsewhere and lay off all employees if regulations are not softened. Whatever you can’t produce and sell at home, produce and sell abroad.

Recession Surviving for the Realistic…Or Desperate

Posted on

Tired of being unemployed? Tried everything you could think of to generate extra cash? Have you sent out your resumé to your friends, family and anyone else you know so many times that it seriously affected your social life?

If you don’t think outside the box you’re going to start running out of people to borrow money from… here are a few ideas that could realistically supplement your weekly unemployment wage that doesn’t even cover your rent.  A girl has to get her roots done, right?

1. Start your own “Charity Organization”

Throw together a blog or a website and add a paypal button and you’re all set.  Make sure you don’t go too over the top with your charity.  You don’t want to generate too much PR for yourself,  just enough to generate some donations without getting into hot water.

2. Sign up for Free Prescription Programs with all the Major Pharmaceutical Companies

You can get up to a years’ worth of free drugs directly from the pharmaceutical company just by filling out some forms and proving you’re a broke loser.  Its just like Comedian Chris Rock said about drugs, “People don’t sell drugs. Drugs sell themselves.  That’s all I’m going to say…

3. Trade Sexual Favors for Drugs from Your Drug Dealer

You can get your drugs for free and boost up your social life at the same time.  This is a good set up IF you can find it  You can keep the drugs and hope they help you through this tough economy or you can use them to generate some extra cash. (see tip 4).

4. Have a “Bake Sale” in Any Suburban Neighborhood – Soccer Moms Go Crazy for Delicious Afternoon Snacks for Mom’s only

You’ll be rolling in cash if you can pull this one off. Popular treats can include any special recipe that looks appealing and has a little bit of “kick” that every soccer mom needs in the afternoon.  Some highly recommended tops sellers (that we heard about).

  • A la Peanut Butter and Crack Sandwiches
  • Meth Milkshakes
  • GHB Slurpee
  • Magic Mushroom Chocolate Kisses
  • Adderall Apple Pie

5. Crash Corporate Conferences and/or Trade-shows

You need to eat. You want good food.  Most corporate functions have a fully loaded buffet and sometimes if you’re lucky even an open bar.   People in corporate America hate attending those events and are usually not very eager to make friends so you should be able to be in and out with no problem.   Be sure to take some business cards and resumes with you– it could be you’re lucky day.

One more thing… make sure not to dress like you’re unemployed.  I once crashed a Michael Kors Company Christmas party with my roommate and we got busted because everyone was wearing black and I had on a purple dress with red boots…

Details.

Happy Job Hunting.

XOXO
