The picture above was taken outside Dallas International Street Church, on 2nd Avenue in South Dallas. Many crosses abound.
The X-mas lights are a remnant not yet removed!!! I took the picture while a man in a pickup truck was watching me, wondering what I was doing.

You Are Diggin' My Blog. You Amazingly Love This Post.

Gentle Readers:

I went to a Poetry Event and Praise Session Wednesday At Dallas International Street Church, on 2nd Avenue near Fair Park.

Also, I briefly went to Williams Chicken. The bulletproof glass is not very appealing. The food is just So-So. Very So-So).

Back to the facts about the Poetry Event (called The Poetic Minds), Dear Readers: I read part of a short story that I wrote ( a tale of sauciness and lust. The story is called A Guide To Perfect Unrequited Love ).

There were about 15 poets and readers who shared their work. I was glad to hear all poets. Since many poets talked about hardship and struggle, I was happy to hear each poem read by the writer who composed it, and to be reminded of the importance of having an enduring spirit. The web site for the Dallas International Street Church is: (Contains all kinds of information about the church and its activities): http://www.kdministries.org


Music Update: I've been listening to: N.P.R. (national public radio). This is not music. But I listen to the BBC dedicatedly every night. Then, I imitate their accents.

Also, I found a Gomez CD in my pile of rejected, and neglected CDs. I'm going to listen to it soon.
I've been using the exercise room at my apartment building.

Peace,

Actual quote from Poetry Event: "Ain't No Party Like a Holy Ghost Party, 'Cuz a Holy Ghost Party Don't Stop."

Drew Barrymore Is 35

Drew Barrymore is 35 today. Kudos to her for being older than me! Man, is she Over The Hill.
The exciting imagery above is of a Chinese lantern at the Forbidden Gardens Museum and Outdoor Extravaganza in Katy, Texas. I went there during the first week of February.
I took the photo on a very cold day.
I am: still learning the Para diddle. So I can be a Drumming Queen.

Goodbye, Gentle, Devoted Readers.

Peace. And love.

New Post! Whoa, I didn't want you to get that excited

Gentle Readers:

I am going to do a post soon.

I am learning what a Paradiddle is, in my drum class.

Last Wed. (Feb. 17), I took a picture of a homeless man who is always selling Street Zine (Joe Ponder). I may turn it into a magnet. I told him that I would buy a Street Zine next time I see him, and he said, "I won't argue with you!"

After I took Joe's picture, this other man nearby who had witnessed the whole thing asked if I wanted to take his picture, and I said: no, but maybe next time.

If you are in Dallas (Lucky You), then please attend: The Poetic Minds Poetry and Literary Reading. It is Wed. Feb. 24, at Dallas International Street Church, 2706
2nd Avenue, Dallas, 75210. The church is near downtown. It begins at 6:30 p.m.

I am getting a tiny bit tired of Dallas.

Hail to all 80s Music. Do not Hail Taylor Swift.

Post Post-Valentines Day

NBA All Star Event: I attended this event from Thursday-Sunday. Let me say right away, Cowboys Stadium in Arlington is huge. Its a massive, odd structure. I ended up parking in Wal Mart.

NBA Roundup: Dallas hosted a huge NBA event which brought a lot of people downtown. I attempted to talk to Jay Z and Puff Daddy, who were not interested in chatting. Jay Z was wearing really big sunglasses.

Also, another tidbit: I talked to a resume "expert" today who, more than a resume expert, was a Scam Artist. His name being Graham Caulfield. Just the facts, ma'am, just the facts.

Gotta go for now.

Peace and Love.

Aldi Job Event. Just the Facts, Ma'am.

Lonely Sign for Aldi: Where are all the eager cashiers?

Gentle Readers:

I attended a job event, or Hiring Event, at Aldi, a branch of a new grocery store chain opening some locations in Dallas soon. The following is my brief synopsis (Yes, I said Brief) Remember, these are solely my observations:
I got there about 7:30 (it started at 7:00). Upon entering, I was greeted by a super-caffienated but nice man in a suit.
While I was there I tried to notice how the other job seekers were dressed. One man was in jeans, one woman was in a dressy shirt, and the rest were not all that nicely dressed.
Extra item: I read in an article that the founders of Aldi are in their
80s. The German men (founders) are also private and reclusive, according to the article I found.
After filling out the application, I went to "The Table" to speak to a representative from Aldi. He will remain nameless, but, he had spiky hair and was very fast talking. He gave me the standard talk (was he getting tired of saying all that?). The Aldi representative never asked which location I would like to work at (there are 7 opening). It didn't seem like he was inviting questions. When I asked if there was a phone number I could call, he said that the company did not give out the number at job events. I then made the joke, "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You," and got no response.
So, Gentle Readers, I am suggesting that the reclusive, mum German founders might have had something to do with the reclusive, mum Recruiter.
There are more Hiring Events Feb. 9, 11, and 12 if you would like to attend. Also, be prepared to watch a gripping video.
Photos: the pictures were taken outside of Aldi on a very rainy morning. In case you want to use them as your wallpaper.



Another beautiful picture of the Aldi sign on Buckingham Road, in Garland.


Music listened to earlier: Walk Like an Egyptian (by the eternally saucy Bangles) and N.P.R. (National Public Radio). This is not music, only news, but I am supposed to be talking about me. So, another tidbit for you.
Gotta go. Practicing drums awaits. And More.

Alice

Peace and Love

Blogging On Acid. Just Kidding.

Gentle Readers:
Brief tale from Wednesday: I was traveling to Houston by Greyhound and have the wrong date for my return trip on the ticket.
The first time I asked about changing it, an employee told me it was not a problem bc I have a round trip ticket. The second time I asked, another employee said I would have to pay $15 to change the date. When I told her that, in my opinion, that was silly and not what the employee had told me the day before, she said of the first Greyhound clerk, "People Lie." Then when I said something back, the portly girl and clerk said, "IT HAPPENS. PEOPLE LIE." I love receiving a side of life lessons and jerkiness along with my ticket!
Go and buy (if you can) The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, by Junot Diaz.
I am reading this, along with my other books.

Posting at Writing Class

Hi:

Had a crazy experience with a Richland College cop last week (Friday). His name was Christopher Downs. Very mean, aggressive and harassing. I will post more if I can.
