Cocaine Princess here.
When it comes to neighbood issues I've never been one to get involved. I'm that one individual that prefers to remain neutral. Our little community is surrounded by acres and acres of farm land and most of the issues revolve around: Neighborhood VS the Developers. In other words whenever a big shot property developer arrives in town it's usually because the company which he works for is looking to build something commercial on the empty lots. For instance, a little over 2 years ago a Walmart Superstore was going to built. In less than a blink of an eye a petition began to circle all the homes. 99.9% of the time the property developers always win. They always win because City Hall always sides with them. City Hall sees growth and development as a positive thing but for some reason our neighborhood doesn’t see it that way. Anyways as I was saying, I like to remain neutral........until now that is. This time I'm siding with the residents and here's why: For the past several weeks and pretty much at all hours of the day truckers have been using our little country road and words can’t express how annoying it’s become. Do you have any idea what it’s like to be sandwiched in between 2 large transport trucks? Each time I am I fear I’m going to be flattened like a pancake. If that’s not bad enough, the other day I was driving in the opposite direction when a trucker decided to overtake the car in front of him. How stupid is that?! It’s no joke when I say I could have been killed. They’ve been hogging the road causing traffic to be backed up especially during the mornings. What usually takes 5 minutes to get onto the major highway now takes 20. The quote some of the residents and I’d just like to say this is the clean short version “Why can’t these damn truckers use the main roads?!” And now for the explicit long version: “What the f*ck is wrong with these God D*mn truckers?! They need to stay the F*ck away from this area and go back to using the God D*mn main road!” Like myself, several others have come close to death. A petition was sent to City Hall this week and it’s safe to say that every person in my hood didn’t hesitate to sign it. Hopefully City Hall will side with us in not allowing the truckers to use the back road. If not, well all I can ask from you is that you say a little prayer for me. And oh yeah, if I don’t post anything next Friday it’s because a psycho truck driver flattened me and my car.

How many have you been watching The World Cup? Can you say Holy Crap! Both Team Spain and Team England are out of the game. What a blow to the English but what’s even more shocking is Team Colombia has more points than Team Brazil. It’ll be interesting to see what other odd and unexpected things happen in the days ahead.

Last but certainly not least, tomorrow Summer officially arrives. Ahh....

Speaking of music, those of you who know me are well aware I LOVE music, and there are certain songs that just sound a little better during certain times of the year. When it comes to Euro & Freestyle (old school & new), there’s no better time to listen to it during those hot, summer days at full blast with the top down or on a rooftop patio with a drinkie in your hands surrounded by good friends.

My loyal and dear readers, it's finally Friday.
Whatever your plans are have a sweet first weekend of summer.~x
XOXOXOXO,
