Survival Series - Public Bathroom

PUBLIC BATHROOMS! There - I said it...two words that strike fear and dread in some of the stoutest hearts. This is especially true if you happen to be a woman. Ladies, how many times have you been willing to risk damage to your kidney rather than use the public facilities? I mean, really, men have it sooooo easy. (If you need that explained to you - send me an email, k?")


How to survive a visit to a public bathroom...


1. Exercise - Wait, here me out. The next time you're in the gym add a few extra reps of lunges and deep knee bends to your exercise routine. They will help strengthen your quadriceps. This will come in handy...trust me.
2. Levitate - Most facilities are very clean but just in case, a little bit of hovering wouldn't hurt. Unless of course you skipped step #1 and didn't build up your quadriceps. (See, I told you it would come in handy)
3. Buddy System - There's a reason why we ladies go to the bathroom in groups when we are out and about. It isn't to gossip about how sexy our dates are - okay maybe it is...but really it's because we have to have someone to talk to while waiting in the ridiculously long line for an available toi- ahem, you know what I mean.
4. Try, try again - Your mom was on to something when she suggested you should try to use the bathroom before you left the house. all those times you were getting ready to go out and she would say "Do you have the use the bathroom?" and you'd say "I don't have to go!" and she would say "TRY ANYWAY!" Usually, you ended up HAVING to go. She wasn't being a nag, she was trying to help you avoid public bathrooms!
5. Wash, rinse and repeat - Please, be sure you wash your hands. You should do this anyway - even at home - but especially after using a public restroom. You don't know who used it before you. you don't know if they washed their hands before grabbing the door handle to leave the bathroom and now you have their germs. Don't follow this rule and you might end up with some infection or disease that you can't even pronounce.
6. Just Say No - In some cases, it's best to avoid the situation all together. Just wait until you get home or at least to a place that you are familiar with (friends house, relative, etc.) After all, you never know what could happen in a public bathroom...

Oscar Chronicles - All By Myself

  Hola, mis amigos. I'm not going to ask if you missed me because - well, I already know you did. But more than that, I'm not going to ask because I'm sad, angry and hungry. Okay, perhaps I'm always interested in some snacks...Anyway, your Oscar is sad. Why? Is because a couple of weeks ago mi persona favorito decided to remodel his room. No really! He took all of the things out of the room - even my bed! At first I was angry thinking that he was kicking me out! He even took down his posters and emptied his closet! But then I started seeing him bringing some stuff back. Several pairs of his zapatos, some shirts and chaquetas. Some things he even put in the basura! Things that were too small or too old - you know how they do, right? So yes,  A MAJOR CLEANING. His room was like SUPER CLEAN.  He and his Papa also bought in new stuff. New zapatos, shirts, pants. The new stuff he put into a new bag. Nice! Good storage. It even has wheels!! So he can move it around a lot easi...

POP QUIZ

You guys ever take one of those online quizzes? " WHAT YOUR FAVORITE COLOR SAYS ABOUT YOU" ... Or the ones about your astrological sign?  "WHAT MAKES A CANCER HAPPY?". .. "IF YOU'RE A PISCES YOU ARE THE ROMANTIC TYPE"   If you did, were the results accurate? I mean did they fit you and your personality? I've taken a few of these sorts of quizzes - just for fun. Astrology? Yeah, I've read my horoscope from time to time. Most of the time the results and the astrological stuff kinda fit and sometimes I'm like - hmm, that is SOOOOO not me. Either way, they usually make me think wow, am I really like that? I took a personality quiz - basically it was to determine if you are left-brained or right-brained. Most agree now that there isn't a clear distinction and that most people have traits/characteristics of both. Here are my results...pretty good but definitely missing a few Like there was nothing mentioned about me being artistic or imagin...

Golden Haze

There I was...minding my own business (no really, I was - this time) thought I'd do some note taking, some observing (okay maybe not completely minding my own business), get some ideas for some posts...and the craziest thing happened. I started noticing a few people walk by my table, look at me - stare at me really, some snickered, some outright laughed. I was thinking sheesh, what's up? No one said anything - just looked at me, looked down at my table, looked at me, laughed or chuckled and walked away...that was until this guy walked over and sat down next to me. Immediately, my internal alert system went into overdrive!!! STRANGER DANGER!!! Then he says the craziest thing to me... Stranger: Hey, yeah so are you here regularly?  (ALARM IS GETTING LOUDER)  Me: Excuse me? Stranger: Nah, I'm just saying if you're here like on the reg, and you're bold enough to advertise the merch I'm straight going to switch my loyalty to you.  Me: DAFUQ!  (INTER...
