I'm Not There

I was volunteering at an elementary school this morning and this kindergartner comes up to me and says, “I like you!” At first, I didn’t hear it so I leaned over to her and asked, “Excuse me? What was that?” She repeated it again, “I like you!” And then she puts her arm around me for a half-hug. I was speechless. I thought it was the sweetest and most adorable thing ever.

As I was preparing to leave, I waved goodbye to the kids while they were outside playing. The same girl (Mara) approaches me again and says, “I love you!” and embraced me with hug. She goes from “I like you!” to “I love you!” within 2 and a half hours, haha. And I’ve only been volunteering here for a week and a half.

Kids these days are so cute, and that’s weird coming from me because I’m not the greatest when it comes to interacting with them. However, I’m definitely looking forward to spending more time with these little buggers.

My entire day is made.

Last night was the first time I had slept before midnight for a very long time. I used to think sleeping anytime between 11-2 was deemed “too early”. I don’t feel as bad as I used to when waking up after all those days staying up until 3-5am wondering where the time had gone.

Now, I just realized I could get up and make breakfast. Perhaps I could get used to this. Or not. Who knows.

Things that are personal have flaws, they have vulnerabilities. If you don’t see a vulnerability in somebody, you’re probably not relating with them on a very personal level.

The Kings are gonna play in Seattle next season? Ugh. I hope Kevin Johnson has something up his sleeve because it’s going take a miracle to save this team.

And unfortunately, I don’t think it’s gonna have a Hollywood ending.

Oh god hiccups are like the worst. It’s like that one annoying person who always shows up uninvited and tries way too hard to get your attention but you’re like “no, you’re irritating go away.” Well it’s like that, except IT NEVER SHUTS THE FUCK UP unless YOU STOP BREATHING.

I’m spending so much time just trying to find the perfect song right now, it’s ridiculous.

I don’t care what everyone says, “Oh, The Kings suck anyway it doesn’t matter if they move.” or “Goodbye, Sacramento Kings! See you in Seattle!” Like, srsly? The Kings have one of the most loyal fan bases in the NBA, and this picture pretty much sums it all. I don’t care if The Kings are losing as much as it frustrates me. I’m not one of those fans who will hop over onto the next team in California, especially not the Lakers, Clippers, or the Warriors. The fact is, I actually have friends who claim to be “Kings fans” who are already about to hop on the Warriors bandwagon which comes to show who’s really loyal and dedicated to this team. It pisses me off even more when people who are on board with the idea of The Kings moving to Seattle calling them “Seattle SuperKings” and saying things like “Seattle deserves a team.” I certainly have empathy for those Seattle SuperSonics fans who lost their team to Oklahoma. And sure, Seattle definitely deserves a team, but I don’t think there’s any other city that’s more deserving to have a basketball team than the city of Sacramento, honestly. The Kings were actually going to move LAST SEASON to Anaheim until our hero and savior, Kevin Johnson, delayed such a move. Don’t take OUR team away from us fans, especially from those who stuck with the team for the past 28 years.  But now that a move to a new arena is imminent, I’m still here ‘till the very end. The Kings will always have my support, however, IF they move to Seattle, my heart stays here in Sacramento. It won’t be the same if they leave because this is OUR hometown team. No matter what happens, I’ll always be a Sacramento Kings fan.

On the way to work this Mitsubishi in front of me had this cute little penguin plush toy hanging below the bumper. I thought that was quite interesting, so I decided to switch lanes to pick up my speed. As I was nearing the car, I was a bit curious to find out who this person was. When I got in proximity, I noticed the amount of plush toys that were sitting on his dashboard and the car was occupied by 3 males, which was quite unexpected but at the same time I wasn’t surprised either. The driver glanced over, smiled and started giving me a head nod. I proceeded to return the favor. After that brief encounter, the guys were laughing their asses off for reasons unknown, and I decided to speed off as I was almost running late for work.

I was hoping he didn’t misinterpret my head nodding as I intended the message to be in the form of, “Hey, man. I accept you and your car full of plushy toys on your dash. It gives it quite a personality” instead of, “Hey, man. Nice car. I want you” ‘cause I don’t swing that way. AND because I have a plush pink elephant sitting in the backseat of my car too and I thought we kinda connected in a way.
