What Happened?

Basic needs seem to not be met, from what people are telling me this week.

For example: families having their electric shut off and cannot afford to turn it back on. How can this be?

In all honesty, I have never seen the economy so bad in my lifetime.

Seems like every person I have spoke with this week is in serious need of just basic, food, clothing, shelter, utilities, etc.

The basics were at one time easy for these middle class families to afford.

Cannot believe families are having to live without electric in their home.

Shitty Economy…worse than shitty.

Don’t know what to call it…whatever means worse than shitty.

My Neighbor is Perfect ~ Hooray

It is 12:14 pm (around noon) here, this really is not a real blog post or serious writing, but it is worthy of a post (maybe).

Just woke up and sitting outside drinking my coffee, and my neighbor is outside.

My neighbor is fully dressed, tan, perfect shape, perfect make-up and hair, and even perfect shoes on while mowing grass. Her home is perfect and the grounds.

Liz just woke up, hair looks like birds landed in it sometime, no bra on (come on, I just woke up) and my grass needs mowed severely. I also refuse to cut down the corn stalks and wild flowers that are growing in my front yard for no reason.    :)

Frustrating that she is already so busy and has everything done in her yard, and I must have (4) cups of coffee before I can begin such work.

Hard for me to type right now because only had a 1/2 cup of coffee. Check back in later, have to try to catch up with “Mrs. Perfection” over here somehow, well probably won’t (what for?). It is making feel a bit tense, like I should get up and do some work or something.

Gets on my damn nerves when people try to act like they can “walk on water.”

Here is the kicker: She is about 15 years older than me. Am I jealous?

Yes, jealous of her time management skills and her perfectionism.

Please keep in mind I live in a subdivision community.

What is the point of this post?

Perfectionism vs. realism

Last night, the one intelligent student (at the restaurant), she and I had a pretty interesting conversation about social science.

The young lady said, “When I wear things like this (she was wearing a mini skirt and high heels) the men treat me badly and are mean to me.”

College student continued….

She said, “when I wear a hoodie and jeans, the men are nice and respectful.”

I responded, “yes, this city is odd because the way you are dressed right now is the normal everyday wear in cities like Los Angeles.”

I said, “I honestly cannot believe the United States in such a sexist nation in 2012.”

I continued, “this is the reason, you see how I am dressed.”

I was wearing a long dress that touched the ground, with flowers along the bottom and sandals. This was a Latin style dress, which I often wear due to comfort and looks nice.

She said, “yes, the men are not speaking to me tonight due to my outfit.”

I said, “that’s simply ridiculous, your outfit is nice.”

Really, I mean cannot believe how much people still judge a book by its cover…I sure do not, that would make life a giant bore-fest!

My Life the Seinfeld Episode: Chapter Two

Don’t typically do posts like this but I think this is straight up weird and another damn Seinfeld episode of my life!

Background: An attending physician at the hospital made me a follow up doctors appointment with another doctor.

Problem: I called the follow up doctor’s office just now and this was the exact conversation with receptionist, who answered the phone:

Me: “Hello, I am calling to confirm my upcoming appointment and to see if I can get an earlier appointment, Doctor _____ referred me to your office.”

Receptionist: “Hold please.”

(left me on hold for long time)

Receptionist: “No, there are no available appointments, you do have appointment on ____.”

Me: “Have you precertified the appointment through my health insurance company.”

Receptionist: “I don’t know ma’am.”

Me: “Ummm well, if you do not precert the appointment with my insurance company they will not pay the doctor.”

Me: “Do you have my health insurance information on file even?”

Receptionist: “I don’t know ma’am.”

Me: “Ummm, how could you NOT know!”

Me: “Well, could you look in the damn computer if your office wants to get paid!”

Receptionist: “No.”

Me: “Why are you acting so freaking weird!”

Me: “My question is a viable question, do you have the precertification from my health insurance company or not?”

Receptionist: “No, we do not have anything on file.”

Me: “Ummm, then how do you expect to get paid by the insurance company without the precertification required?”

Receptionist: “We will get your insurance card at the time of the appointment ma’am.”

Me: “Ummm, but that’s why it’s called a precertification, appointment has to be PRE-CERTIFIED with my health insurance company!”

Receptionist: “I don’t know ma’am, call your insurance company.”

Me: “Ummm, the doctors office has to precert, I am not allowed to do that!”

Receptionist: “I don’t know ma’am”

Me: “This is freaking weird, why won’t you give me any information!”

Me: “Bye!”

This is officially the most crazy ass conversation I have ever had with a doctors office in my life.

This makes zero logical sense.

Can any person in the world understand why the receptionist acted this way, to help me understand the logic?

I have no clue why!

Weird Shit Americans Do: Chapter Two

Hang out with people we do not like

Try to impress people we have never liked and never will like

Spend money to impress people we cannot stand

Avoid people they do like in public, if the person looks embarrassing or they are embarrassed to be seen with the person

Ignore serious injuries to avoid high medical bills

Bet on really stupid things, Americans will bet on anything, you name it Americans will place a bet

For example: Americans will bet on a sports team based on a color, just because that is their favorite color

Bet on sports, horse races etc. on credit with a “bookie” that they can never pay, the “bookie” eventually just takes the money out of their ass (physically hurts them)

Play the lottery, with their last $20.00

Get rich quick schemes

Borrow money from one of those check chasing places, but never open a savings account. They will borrow every week, then their entire paycheck goes to the check cashing place

Rent furniture or TV’s from a Rent to Own store, and pay a high amount each week, but never own the item(s)

Magic Tricks

Magic Tricks that they know may injure themselves severely

Celebrity impersonating – even though of a different race/nationality than the celebrity (look nothing like the celebrity)

Say the word “sucks” or “suck” all the time. For example: “This job sucks!”

Try to control everything, when we really are not in control of very many things

Make crazy ass low ball offers on items, such as: cars, items at yard sales, and even homes. We make the offers knowing they will not be accepted, but counter-offered with a higher bid on the item.

Fall (on purpose) on freshly mopped floors at restaurants or any other public place, and then sue the owner for injuries. They mostly win the money in court

Skateboarding tricks that we know will get us seriously injured, but we do it anyway

Bicycle tricks we know will hurt us severely, but do it just out of pure boredom

Physical fight over sporting events, even at little league games

Physically fight over sporting events, then become best buds after the fight

Teens will do whatever it takes to avoid gym class

Come up with a great invention and tell all of our friends, someone steals the invention, before it is copyrighted (cannot keep mouth shut about new inventions) Then, afterwards try to sue for the copyright

Copyright infringement

Sue for anything and everything. Believe McDonald’s was even sued recently for someone’s child being overweight, don’t know who won the case

Shoot T-shirts into the stands at sporting events from a large barreled gun

Shoot potatoes from a large barreled gun

Drink a boatload of beer at sporting events, knowing they have a long drive home

Drink beer at their child’s birthday parties, then drive their kids home

Gamble away their rent money, and then make up an excuse like “I didn’t know I would lose.”  ”Thought for sure this bet was a sure win.”

Believe magic tricks are real

Believe Santa Claus is real

Believe the Easter Bunny is real

Believe the Tooth Fairy is real

Take a chain link necklace and put it up their nose, and pull it down through their mouth (this was huge in the 1990′s) (Gross but true)

Make excuses for anything and everything. For example: “I thought that’s what you said, I am sorry, I misunderstood.”  ”I thought you said ___.” (to the boss or spouse)

Date a person for a long time knowing darn well (the first time they met) they will  never marry them – ever

“You finally got all the attention you need to make it through the day.” 

–Talking cup says to the talking meatball on the cartoon “Aqua Something You Know Whatever” (funny cartoon on Adult Swim, Cartoon Network)

Yes, I watch those crazy cartoons on Adult Swim, think they are hysterical, even though highly offensive to every person in the world

Emotions Shall Not Rule My Life: Period

 

Well, people who have been following Eccentric for a while now know that I have been in a very pissy mood lately. So, I have decided to write this blog post to vent and seriously do not give a rats ass, if everyone I know here in the real world reads this blog post.

Eccentric’s followers also know that I love to put things in an organized fashion for readers who have very little time on their hands to read blog posts, I often put thoughts in a list form, or in a easy to read paragraph with bold headings, or just a short post. I understand that people do not have all day to read and comment on blog posts, because you have a life.

I am extremely pissed off due to the following reasons:

  1. Two people whom I love with every bone in my body is sending me very mixed signals right now.
  2. Their actions are not matching their words.
  3. I see things in black and white, there are no “grey” areas with me.
  4. I feel a person either loves me or they don’t, that’s it, end of story, period.
  5. If a person doesn’t love me, than they need to get the hell out of my life forever.

Tough love has no effect on me.

I am 34 years old, not a teenager, so if you know me personally and are reading this, and you love me, I suggest you do the following within the next month:

  • Show that you love me in some way, shape or form
  • This could be in a letter by mail, text message, e-mail, phone call, Facebook or any type of communication
  • Stop playing games with my feelings
  • Put yourself in my shoes
  • I have put myself in your shoes, but the logic still is not working
  • There are pieces of the puzzle missing and information that you are not giving to me, that is why there is massive confusion in the relationship

You (to those who know me) have to understand how my brain functions. My brain functions in the following way:

Step 1: Researches and reviews all available information on the issue or problem.

Step 2: Takes a look at the problem from every angle, and puts myself in your place, looks at the issue from your point of view.

Step 3: Tries to put logic and common sense into place when trying to solve the problem.

Step 4: Employs all problem solving techniques that I have learned from life problems, college, school or work.

Step 5: Come to a conclusion.

However, in this case, my brain is unable to come to a logical problem solving conclusion. Why? There are pieces missing and information missing from the problem, so Liz cannot resolve the problem(s) in the relationship(s) or have closure on any issues.

I wish to make the following statement loud and clear:

A.  You (who know me personally and claim to “love” me) may think that I am stupid, you are dead ass wrong.

B.  You are causing massive confusion in my life.

C.  You have one month to fix this massive confusion or you will be removed from my life, for the rest of it.

Love = Action NOT Words in Liz’s Dictionary

You can say “I love you” fifty times a day to me, but if your actions do not match your words, don’t bother speaking to me. You are causing much unneeded stress in my life because my brain cannot solve the puzzles that you are dishing out.

If you love Liz, you have one month to prove it, or be out of my life for the rest of it.

I refuse to allow you to cause massive confusion in my life, and will NOT keep apologizing for my personality. My personality is aggressive, opinionated, and passionate.

You either love me for who I am or not, I cannot change the personality I was born with, neither can anyone else.

One month to stop the confusion, let me say this once more, you have one month……..

I believe there is a countdown widget, which I will place on this blog.

One month.

I refuse to allow roller coasters of emotions to rule my life.

Liz’s Unwanted Blogging Advice: Chapter 2

Everyone hates on Eccentric for my b*tchy advice, but I know you all know that it is coming from a good place, and not because I think of myself as being so “great.”

Giving this advice out of kindness, and not out of self-love or to gain any type of notoriety.

Ok, I know you all get angry at Liz, and then you get over it.

People who follow Eccentric know for a fact that they will most likely become very pissed off at some point and time when they read one of my posts.

Thus, the name “eccentric.”

My very unwanted advice comes from kindness and wanting to help, not for any other reason.
