Ok I did get up late today. My roommate Cee is M. I. A. I saw her smoking a ciggy and talking to our other roommate when I got home last night, but then she bounced. The past two nights have been like that. The thing that concerns me is she has a dog that she leaves and he’s neglected. He’s a big hairy thing. Responsibility is this thing that is really escaping these children. And they are children. They are 20 to 23 years old and have no sense of adulthood, or what comes first. None whatsoever. It’s ironic because just about everyone young is the same way. Not everyone, but the ones that don’t come from a strict but loving household. If they grew up in chaos or permissive lazy parenting, they will always be incredibly irresponsible. The garbage outside needs to be put to the curb and what do you want to bet that it will still be there when I get home. The dogs have peed all over the floors, and what do you bet they will still be pee stained when I get home. There was meat cooked three days ago and the broiling pan has been full of water ever since and is starting to smell; and what do you want to bet that it won’t be cleaned when I get home? I asked Cee if she would take care of it day before yesterday and it wasn’t done. She bounced and left everything.

The thing is that her girlfriend and she broke up again. She was upset but was tired of the relationship. The girlfriend Tanya left to take care of her incredibly irresponsible pill popping mother who is homeless. They were moving into a crack hotel, and she wanted Cee to come with, because she gets a check twice a month from the Gov. Cee didn’t want to live in a crack hotel, she wanted to live in a nice calm house, where she’s safe. So Tanya got pissed and left with her mom. Ever since then Cee has been spending the night elsewhere. I hope not in the crack hotel. I’m worried she’s out doing dumb stuff. But that’s not my life. My main concern is the cleanliness of the house and care of the dogs. The other roommate Wanda has a boyfriend Ramon who works at a pet store and brought a stray they didn’t have space for to the house, and he’s been there the past two days too. The stray is amazingly well behaved however. There is a third dog Chewy, who belongs to Wanda. He’s a cute puppy but has long nails and loves to jump up on my bare legs to say hello and scratch the shit out of me. IT HURTS! He pisses and poops everywhere. The other two not so much. When everyone leaves the house they leave the dogs roaming the house. I don’t much care for that. The fence in the yard got broken by the lawn guys, and so if the dogs go outside then they escape. So the gate has to be fixed. I’d let them out in the yard to chill, if not for the gate. I don’t know when they last ate either. I am not a cruella type, but if they take off and keep leaving the dogs I feel like they should be turned into a shelter. I’d at least take pictures of them and post them on the board at my night job. Someone will want them. Can you say walk to my room and shut the door??? Not to mention the landlord makes spot checks from time to time and has told the girls to clean up. If he comes in to all that piss there will be some shit jumpin off!

And sure enough. He came by to deliver the new dryer and the place is a sty. The garbage wasn’t rolled out to the curb, and he mentioned it. His mode of communication is text message. He says that if Cee can’t come up with the rent she has to go, which leads me to believe that they never even paid their rent. Whatever. Typical I say. I knew that things like this could go down when I moved in. But as long as I am not on the streets because of something someone else did I don’t care. As long as my stuff is secure and my food isn’t eaten up, I’m straight.

Pisces Horoscope for week of November 15, 2007

If you chew coca leaves, you get a mild buzz, comparable to coffee, because your body metabolizes only tiny amounts of the plant's alkaloids. But in cocaine, which is made from processed coca leaves, those same alkaloids are highly concentrated. Snorting or smoking the stuff gives your bloodstream a potent blast. Bolivia's president Evo Morales wants the world to know the difference between the two. "The coca leaf is not cocaine," he says. He pledges to completely legalize coca in his country, citing its traditional uses as a food and medicine predating the European invasion. Is there a comparable scenario in your life, Pisces? Something that's bad for you when done to excess, but good for you in its understated natural state? It's a favorable time to commit yourself to its healthy use.
