So You Think You Can Dance

I have truly fallen in love with this show.

i'm a dancer. i get down and dirty. pretty much whenever and where ever i can do it.. as long as a good song is playing either in public or on my ipod. i can't dance as good as they can.. but i can try.. haha.

but seriously.. if you haven't been watching the show.. its obviously you've missed out on alot of stuff already. it's the final 10 now.. and they are automatically chosen to perform in 50 cities on their So You Think You Can Dance tour. If it comes nearby and the tickets are cheap, i may consider.. who knows.

anyways.. these are my FAVORITES. i love em. they're not that bad looking either ;)

I love Wade Robson. i was actually surprised when i saw him for the first time on the show.. he choreographed some of the couple's dance routines. I remember Wade a longggg longg time ago back before the Wade Robson Project.. he influenced me to start dancing during the Britney Spears era. Yeah. i loved that I'm A Slave 4 U music video. did you know that i could do all of that choreography before? I'm a bit rusty on it tho. but i do remember many of the major choreography lines. I do believe that Wade did choreograph that for Britney..

So You Think You Can Dance, Lorenzo? .. yeah.. like a slut. hah :D

The PUMA Basket CC's! (they change colors, neat huh?)

Aren't these shoes just awesome?
It's the new BASKET CC's from PUMA!

What makes this shoe different from all the rest.. is that it features: a heat sensitive color changing synthetic leather!



look how it changes colors :)




and again..




i love it!!! I wanna get it :)

PUMA currently has 2 shoe styles with the CC (chameleon color):

• BASKET CC
• LIGA CC
  

.. i prefer the BASKET shoe.. it's $75 on the PUMA website.. and LIGA is going for $65.

i still want those blue/yellow XS 850's..

Chapsticks were more expensive than the jeans.. Heh.

Lol. I got these khaki-colored totally washed out denim jeans for like $5 at the GAP.

It's soooo cheap, it almost disgusts me. While I see friends rockin' out with D&G, Rock & Republic, and True Religion.. Lol.

But the main reason I got it.. Was for work at sbux. I needed something to flatter my ass, my usual baggy khakis from AE aren't cuttin' it.. And it needs a break.

Now I need a new plain black and white polo shirt. One that actually fits a skinny person like me. Just b/c it says SMALL on the shirt.. doesn't mean it will fit you..

~Lor

They park where they feel like it.

Lol. Just waiting at the post office and I see these two morons..

~Lor

2nd starbucks drink of the day!

Oh believe me.. I could buy more during my days off. I lost count during a day trip in San Francisco in the past. Lol.

I'm drinking a TFJB. Tangerine frappuccino fruit juice blend. :)

Myspace finally responded!!!

oooooh!! i'm excited!! (but still feeling a bit apprehensive..)

i got a direct email from myspace support.. and asked for information and such.. including the infamous 'myspace salute' .. which is a photo of you holding your myspace friend ID number..

so yeah. now i can only wait for them to figure out wtf is going on with my myspace account.

I'm not busy.. i just can't log into my myspace account right now.. and i want to!!

i know some of you all know that i do temporary absences on myspace.. like for weeks or even a month.. that's because i get busy with work, school and life.

now.....

it's different, i cannot log in. my account is fucked up somehow. when i do a email search for a requested forgotten password... it gives me a message that says "this email address does not exist on myspace" .. and of course i go.. WTF? .. the same message is shown when i do a general search for an email on myspace. And interestingly enough... when i do a search for my first and last name, i DO show up! .. so what's wrong?!

i didn't change my email address or anything on my account. why would i?

and so i've sent a detailed message to myspace support.. and myspace help.. and im waiting for their reply. i'm just scared that i cant log in. i hope i can soon. i really hate waiting for a reply. i just dont want it to be automated. i wish there was some type of hotline that i can call for myspace support or something.

this sucks. now that i have time to go on myspace... i CANT because of this stupid shit happening to my myspace account.

.. i dont want to make a new myspace account. my original account is priceless. my friend ID begins with 8.7 million! that's wayyyyyy in the beginning of myspace. now myspace is nearing closer to 200 million profiles/users.. ehh.

i want to go on MY myspace account.. i'm sad now.

Yay! It's finally here :)

My gym bag finally arrived. Actually was delivered yesterday at jeff's work. I would've went to get it, but he didn't want to go to work. So I had to wait today.. He worked at 7am. And I asked him to wake me up early so I could drop him to work. Hehe. I couldn't wait til 4pm when he got off work.

Anyways.. Ill probably use it as my carryon when I fly to NC again.. :)

~Lor

Bayshore mall is EMPTY!!

Yeah.. I told you I wasn't lying. I could've taken more pics if I wanted. Time to move out. I need to actually. Outta here and far away.

~Lor

Harry potter?!

Omg! I didn't know I was going to the movies today to see Harry Potter!!

I just had the idea of going to the movies. That's it. Lol.

I was too busy dancing to hiphop music videos on the MTV Jams channel to even realize it. Heh. I'm a bit tired now.. But at least I can finally watch harry potter :)

Jeff has only seen ONE harry potter movie before today. And I've seen every one since the beginning in theaters.

g2g now. I have to take a piss before it starts. I forgot this is a long movie.

~Lor

I can't log into myspace.

Oh no. I'm really scared right now. I can't log into myspace. I inserted my email in the 'forgotten your password' link.. But it said "no such email address exists".. Hopefully no one hacked into it.. Wish me luck..

~Lor

no.. i didn't get the shoe. heh..

i doubted i was going to get it anyways.. but whatever. hopefully i can find it somewhere soon..

The Simpsons go to Paris with Linda Evangelista!

This is pure genius! soooo cute too!

i dvr the Simpsons like every day and i do have to admit, i've seen all of the episodes. lol. i can't wait for the movie to come in theaters. you can bet i'll be the first in line. hehe.

i was so shocked to find the Simpsons featured in a fashion editorial in Harper's Bazaar August 2007 issue!!

Pack up & get outta here.

Businesses are moving out and not returning.. Dust collects on the floors and forgotten furniture inside those empty spaces.

People complain how the cost of living is sooo high in California. In this town, they don't care how much they're paying for the local costs of food and supplies. When there's no walmart, there are businesses that can jack up the prices..

~Lor

He sleeps on the side of a bricked building..

Kindof sad right?

I could really care less about the homeless ppl here. Thet need to get their shit together and make use of their lives other than panhandling and hitchhiking. There are other homeless ppl in the cities that have it much worse than them. They're living in luxury and comfort compared to those in San Francisco.

~Lor

Gettin' out of the house.. Dressed in A&F..

A bit surprised today when I wore an outfit that I usually wear when I used to work at A&F.. Ahh.. Memories.

Kindof worthless to wear nice stuff in this town. The majority of the population here in humboldt county probably don't even know what Abercrombie is.. Except the teens & young adults.. Which I barely see around town. All I see is ppl wearing clothes from Goodwill. Heh.

~Lor

I'm desperate for these Puma XS 850 shoes!!

i almost had to call 911 after i saw these shoes.. OMG. it's the Puma XS 850!

This shoe style comes in a bunch of color combinations.. which is pretty cool.
i love it.. they're like candy. lol. :D

the XS 850's shoe style isn't new. it's the colors which is new. the XS 850's was originally released by PUMA back a few years ago in 1992 (with lamer colors). i was 5 years old at that time! woo! .. but now.. ooohhh boy, these colors are just tasty. obviously you already know that i want the electric blue & yellow color. it's delicious!!

i'm actually lucky enough to find the exact same style and color on eBay.. hopefully i can convince jeff to bid on it for me. it's $29.99 right now.. and no one better not bid on it. i'll fucking throw a fit. the shipping is going for $14.40.. a grand total of $44.49.

shit.

i didn't even see the shipping costs until now. it's already a bit expensive due to the shipping charges. ughhh. this is why i hate shopping online. the only thing i have to deal with when i'm buying stuff at the mall is tax. and that's no biggie. but shipping? is there a online coupon for free shipping somewhere that i can use for this? lol.

i'm a bit hesitant by looking at the pic above.. it's the only one the seller has posted.. it's the same colors and it's brand new.. but my mind is comparing the first few images i posted on this entry with the ebay picture.. i think it's the shoelaces.. it's tied closer together.. anyways, his feedback about 3,800 at 100%.. so i shouldn't be worried about it. the only thing i need to worry about is if jeff will bid on it for me. he probably would've said yes if it was just $30.. but the extra $14 in shipping jacking it up to $45 is going to be a bit of a challenge. and the fact that i just bought that metallic gym bag.. hehhh.

the auction ends in about 11 hours from now.. so wish me luck that i'll get it!!

Another trip back to North Carolina?

yep.. you guessed it. i'm flying back to North Carolina, AGAIN!

so how much was the plane ticket this time? .. i think about $400 roundtrip.. We're driving to Sacramento and flying out of there on July 31st (because flying out of Arcata to NC is like $660.. i know.. fuck that right?) it's cheaper in the cities.. and so i'll be in NC.. to absorb the NC atmosphere that i've missed so much.. take my final exams from my summer classes at NC state (actually ON campus perhaps?!).. see friends & places.. ahh.. i was just in North Carolina like about the same time as now last month. heh.

but will i see any of my friends from college? i doubt it. since most of them are away for the summer. it's obviously summer break. they wont get back probably the week or so after i leave NC. heh. but it depends.. Jeff is the one doing the plans and stuff.. so whatever. I just want to go to Southpoint Mall in Durham. lol. and Crabtree Mall to see my old Abercrombie & Fitch store. I HAVE TO VISIT MY OLD A&F STORE EVERYTIME I VISIT NC! it's a requirement. i have to. same goes with my Outback Steakhouse on Capital Boulevard. i usually see familiar faces whenever i visit.. and most of the time they recognize me, the servers are the ones that instantly say hey. my old managers and head manager dont really jump in the air to see my face. they're like.. "oh hey lorenzo. how are you?" that's it. but that's what i usually expect from them anyways. so whatever. the servers are like "OMG LORENZO!" hahahaha. one of them liked how my hair is now. another girl was like "you're still fine as ever" hahahaha. loves it. but it's different with A&F.. mostly everyone that i was close to has already quit or transferred. but who knows.. maybe i'll see someone i know there again. i seriously need them to hook me up with the employee discount! haha. they usually do that for me anyways.. have them buy it for me. and i'd like sneak my debit card and pay for it. hehe. gotta love it tho.

ahh.. so anyways.. this summer is just awesome. just being at work at Starbucks and taking these trips to places out of Humboldt County. if only i could spend more time with my friends.

although, i'm in a relationship.. i'm still lonely. not in that sense.. but i'm lonely for my friends.

:\

ok.. so i finally bought it ..

Ever since returning it the next day after purchasing it at the mall.. im finally getting it back :)

Like seriously.. it never came across my mind that i'd ever get it until i spontaneously thought about it from a previous blog entry.. hehe. (the one about getting the Louis Vuitton belt. umm. i doubt i'm getting it anytime soon. heh.)

But yeahh. i finally got it. a metallic (or mercury) duffle sport bag from NINE WEST. do you think it's going to stop me from using this bag because it's from NINE WEST? no, of course. besides.. the NINE WEST logo isn't even displayed on the exterior of the bag.. only in the inside.. so yeah.

i got it from the NINE WEST website for $49.99 plus tax. i found a free shipping online coupon code which i used from www.retailmenot.com and there's a bunch of codes on their for free shipping and discounts when you purchase a certain amount. I saw some good codes from J. Crew, American Eagle Outfitters & Victoria's Secret.. etc..

so yeah.. im excited. i can't wait to get the bag in the mail. (i know what you're thinking.. will i even get the bag since i'm having so much problems with the damn postal service here in this town?) dont worry, i mailed it to a much more secure location.. jeff's office. it's the government. you mess with them, you'll surely get fucked up. hehe. j/k. or am i? i can't say. ;)

it's supposed to arrive on thursday the 19th. which is about 6 more days away.

my first intentions on buying the bag (when i first bought it) was supposed to be MY BAG. you know? like the i'd use everywhere. kindof big tho. so, my 2nd use for it is to be my gym bag. heck yeah. i'd like to see all of the hippies see me walk into the building carrying this shiny thing. hahahaha. they'd probably wonder if it was made by recycled aluminum. heh. i'm just glad im getting a new gym bag. my other one is fucking falling apart. seriously! the velcro handles is ripping off. the color used to be bright blue when i first bought it from Old Navy, but now it's like.. lame blueish grey. or pale blue. still lame tho. i definitely used that for all of it's worth since freshman year in highschool. i think it was like $20 or $25 when i did some back to school shopping with my parents in Fayetteville, NC. omg. how did i even remember where i got it?! haha. Old Navy was in the plaza right next to Barnes & Nobel and near Crosscreek Mall.

Ok.. enough reminiscing.. i can't wait for it to come. this is why i don't usually buy stuff online. i want to actually see and feel the thing i'm going to buy first. i'm even pickier when i shop in the malls. hehe. it's gotta fucking stand out!!! if it doesn't.. of course i'm going to continue on with the next store. hey, at least i dont have to pay for shipping. shipping sucks. except for DHL, they totally rock. my bag is getting shipped by UPS, which is ok.. i'm just glad it's not Eureka postal service. haha..

1st day wearing shorts & I wait out in the cold..

Since its been like hot for the past few days.. I've decided to wear shorts to work for the first time!

Unfortunately.. I'm waiting for a ride and I've been freezing for the past 20 mins outside my store.. Lol. I can even see the mist or fog rolling in by looking at the parkinglot lights. Perfect time to be wearing shorts huh?

~Lor

My future's so bright.. I had to wear shades at work.

Heck yeah. Some person lost their 50¢ plastic shades. Lol. (dont worry.. i sanitized them) it was lost, now it is found, by me. :)

Pretty spiffy huh? I can totally rock anything that I wear. Lol. I'm fierce in one of the pics above! :D

~Lor

Congratulations Springfield, Vermont!!

If you haven't heard yet.. the town of Springfield in Vermont won the contest of premiering the Simpsons movie in their town of 9,300 people!

Heatherette, M.A.C. cosmetics & Amanda Lepore.. a film by David Lachapelle..

If you haven't seen this video yet, brace yourself for transsexual nudity.

This famous video was directed by well-renowned photographer David Lachapelle for M.A.C. Cosmetics and Heatherette. Amanda Lepore is featured in this video covering herself with the pink M.A.C. lipstick named 'Heatherette', of course. This video was the introduction for the Heatherette's spring 2002 fashion show, their introduction to the fashion industry.

This video is not available on YouTube, obviously because it features nudity.

Hope you like it, because i do. It's such an artistic video to watch. Just don't be immature and be like "ewwwww, she's naked and covering herself with lipstick.. ewwwww.." If you react like that, your obviously immature or too hard headed to understand art/fashion/culture.

Fuckin' postal service!

Ok.. so guess what.. i went to the Post Office today to complain about the mail.. AGAIN!!

Me:
"hello, i have a problem with my mail being delivered. I haven't been receiving my mail and subscriptions for the past few weeks. I just received a notice from my college professor today that the document he sent to me was returned to him. I asked why it would be returned when it had the correct name and correct address printed on it? Is someone tampering or stealing my mail? It just doesn't make sense!"

Front Desk Man:
"ok, let me get the delivery supervisor up here.. *talks on speakerphone* could the delivery supervisor come up to the window please?' .. he should be here in a moment."

Me:
"thanks."

i waited for about 5 minutes.. and he arrived and asked what was the problem. i could tell he hated complaints from people. i told him the same thing i said to the man at the front desk. I showed him a letter (that a previous college professor had sent to me) i had received and had a return to sender/person has moved sticker under my correct name and correct address.

Me:
"also.. i have this letter that has my correct information but it has a return to sender & person has moved sticker on it. what's up with that? I still live in this address!"

he looked at it.. and he talked to me in a very commanding voice that tried to show authority. but when you talk to me like that, haha.. i'm game. i was talking like that the entire time. i didn't want to be the shy one and be like.. 'ok, so i guess it's my fault.. i'll just leave now.' haha.. fuck that. i'm not that stupid. i know it's not my fault. and i want it fucking fixed. and so the shift supervisor went to the back to probably smoke some crack or something.. while fixing my error.

i waited for more than 10 minutes for the guy to return. and during the wait.. there was this one woman who had a problem with her address being wrong and forwarded wrong. something dealing with the wrong number in her address. she was talking to the front desk man and he called up the same delivery supervisor to the front window and told her to move aside to where i was. i started talking to her..

Me:
"so.. do you have delivery problems like me?"

she told me of what happened.. and i was just nodding my head.. she was nice, but i just didnt remember what she said. haha. i was too caught up with my problem.

Me:
"hey, your problem isn't as big as mine.. i'm not even getting any mail. *showed her the letter with the return to sender label*"

eventually, the delivery supervisor came back and the woman was standing right next to me on the counter..

delivery supervisor:
"Do you still live in this address?"

Me:
"Of course i do! I wouldn't be coming here asking to fix this problem if i didn't live there."

delivery supervisor:
"Well, your mail isn't being delivered to you because you have forwarding on this address that says you have moved."

Me:
"WHATTTT?? How is that even possible? I still live there! Is there any documents or receipts that show proof of this forwarding to be enabled for my address? Is there something that someone has written to cause this.. and can i see it?"

he had a piece of paper with my last name and jeff's last name on the counter.. writing scribbles and lines under and on our names.

delivery supervisor:
"I dont have that information, it's all in San Francisco. Your mail has been forwarded because it said that you didn't live there anymore and this person *points to jeff's last name* was the previous occupant."

Me:
"Whatttt? that's totally wrong! he's my roommate! he lives with me in that same address! he hasn't moved anywhere! we both still currently live there!

the delivery supervisor continues to write lines and shit on the piece of paper while the woman standing next to me was just listening to the entire bantering and arguing between me and the man..

delivery supervisor:
"Ok, well i'll cancel the forwarding for both you and your roommate when i talk to [the person in charge.. idk] later today."

i didnt sense the sincerity of what he said.. since he worked my adrenaline borderline to the max. so i tried to make sure everything was in order.

Me:
"So once you cancel that forwarding, will ALL of my mail be sent to me now? i just want to make sure."

delivery supervisor:
"Yes, after talk to [the person in charge of dealing with that stuff] later today."

Me:
"Alright. thank you."

.. and i started to walk out and picked up my treo and called jeff to tell him of what has happend.

but seriously. the delivery supervisor was a jackass. he totally worked me up. don't underestimate who you're talking to just because i look like a teenager. I may look young, but i'm pretty fuckin' mature and smart.

i seriously want to just to get corporate USPS to investigate the EUREKA postal office. it's time to lay off the old and hire some new ones that can do their jobs correctly.

It's a historic day in Eureka.

Stop with the months of rumors and speculations! You all heard that Outback Steakhouse was coming to town.. Well, guess what. IT FINALLY CAME! I present to you, the (most probably) FIRST Outback Steakhouse delivery in Eureka & all of Humboldt County!!

Mind you, for those that don't know. That the nearest Outback Steakhouse is about 3 hours away in Redding and about 3.5 hours from Santa Rosa.

So yes, my food was a bit cold and soggy.. Nothing that a good microwave could fix. I fuckin' devoured those Coconut Shrimps. Haha. It was sooooooo good. Omg.

I miss working at Outback..

~Lor

I'd rather be at the mall..

..but no...... I had to work today. Ugh. Whatever.. At least I get free drinks. :)

Eek. Breaks over.
