Now Playing: ME! by Taylor Swift
I promise that you’ll never find another like me
I know that I’m a handful baby, unh
I know I never think before I jump
And you’re the kind of guy the ladies want
And there’s a lot of cool chicks out there
I know that I went psycho on the phone
I never leave well enough alone
And trouble’s gonna follow where I go
And there’s a lot of cool chicks out there
One of these things is not like the other
Like a rainbow with all of the colors
Baby doll when it comes to a lover
I promise that you’ll never find another like
Me
Ooh
I’m the only one of me
Baby that’s the fun of me
Ooh
You’re the only one of you
Baby that’s the fun of you
And I promise that nobody’s gonna love you like me
I know I tend to make it about me
I know you never get just what you see
But I will never bore you baby
And there’s a lot of lame guys out there
And when we had that fight out in the rain
You ran after me and called me name
I never wanna see you walk away
And there’s a lot of lame guys out there
One of these things is not like the other
Living in winter, I am your summer
Baby doll when it comes to a lover
I promise that you’ll never find another like
Me
Ooh
I’m the only one of me
Let me keep you company
Ooh
You’re the only one of you
Baby that’s the fun of you
And I promise that nobody’s gonna love you like me

It’s still crazy to me that I just typed that out in the NP. It’s absolutely insane that this era, this album cycle, has started already. This has been the shortest amount of time we’ve ever had to wait for new music from Taylor and a bitch is into it.
So this week hasn’t been necessarily too bad, it’s just sort of been irregular. At least far as work was concerned. When I ended up working on Saturday, Kay wanted me to come in early on Monday, working 5-2, so that’s what I did. And that was a huge fucking mess. I ended up having to correct what my fellow DMs that worked overnight did, and I barely had any time to actually to what I came in to do, so that was hella frustrating. All of this work week has been me trying to catch up from Monday. Because we’ve been trying to set and fill all my things in Seasonal, on top of take care of Toys’ daily functions. I even came in early again on Thursday, per Kay’s request, to try to clean up all the accumulated freight and things that had piled up from the week. And that day, I did a shit ton. I pretty much got everything done, everything straight, and everything caught up by the time I left Friday. It’s been a time, let me tell ya.
A new development that happened this week is our plans this summer. I’ve been wanting to try and plan a beach trip for Allen, because I know how much he loves the beach, and I want to be able to go to, so after some research and some happenstances, I ended up messaging Rosanna about whether or not we could come down to visit her and simultaneously visit the beach as well. That turned out to be a green light for a beach trip, and we had the date set and everything, but then Thursday, I found out that we have Inventory the week after that weekend, and there’s just no way they’re going to let me have the weekend before Inventory off. But I talked it out with Rosanna, and we’re going the weekend afterInventory now, and everything seems to be in motion again. Let’s just hope Work doesn’t beach block me and deny the time I put in for.
Tuesday was my day off this week, which was sort of weird. I didn’t end up getting as much writing as I wanted done, but before at least did some. I had to get up at a decent time so I could go get supplies to mail out my books for the giveaway I did on my channel, so I got up and headed down to Bell Creek, the first store I worked at when I moved down here, and gathered up all of my supplies. Then I got everything ready and headed to the post office and mailed it out, but everything ended up coming back the other day, just like my book submission for that Best Self-Published Book Contest did, so I’m going to have to get more stamps and then try to mail it again, but that’ll be later on this week.
Tuesday was also the day we got Mortal Kombat 11. Allen loves him some MK11, and I do too, so I went ahead and got it while I was out at the store. So we’ve basically been playing that instead of Smash this week. My favorite character from past MK games, Frost, is in it, but she’s not the same, and I’m low-key upset about it. I really like a fairly new character named Skarlet so I’ll probably end up playing as her mostly. We finally finished the story the other day, I think Saturday? And it’s really good. The only con (or in this case, Kahn. See what I did there?) is that in the in between scenes, while it’s basically loading the fight between the two characters, it literally looks like shit. Otherwise, the game is pretty awesome and I really enjoy it. I kinda wanna go back to past games and get more of the story. Mainly Mortal Kombat X, I’ve already started watching that, so I have that to look forward to.
Saturday I ended up having to get up super early because it was time to finally face a solution towards my license plate stickers and not having the correct year on them. They got thrown away literally months ago, and I just really needed to get it done. So I got up at 7 on my weekend off (scheduled it myself, of course, because work letting me have a weekend off? Lol) and headed to the DMV before it opened. And there was literally a line of about 50 people before me. 50. At 8 am on a Saturday. I was expecting a line but not a line of 50 damn people. Anyway, that went pretty smoothly and fast, and it only cost me $1 to get the replacement stickers, and I was on my merry fucking way. Then we ended up, after Allen had Kelly and Rebecca over after their whole wedding thing, going to my new favorite place: a Mexican restaurant. Ever since moving to Richmond, I’ve missed having a go to Mexican place, since it’s my favorite food. Sure, the sushi has me almost all the way satiated, but not enough. Well fear not, because Plaza Azteca is my new Mexican place of choice. The WHITE SAUCE. That’s how I judge a place. It’s so good. Plus they make you fresh guac at your table and it was pretty bomb. And the food was not only amazing but MASSIVE portions, so it’s the best. From Alejandro’s to Plaza Azteca. A bitch is into it.
Now, for the main event. So if one were to follow any, and I mean any, or my social media lately, one might see that I’ve been promoting the SHIT out of TS7 and it’s forthcoming arrival. Well, as it is out now, shit went the fuck down. Let me paint you a picture: Thursday. I went in early because Kay asked me too, and at around 1:30, Swift hit the fan. The fan being me, in the face. So back a month or two ago, there was this mural repainted in Nashville, and everyone within the fandom was connecting it to Taylor, but we just thought it was a coincidence. BADA OOO.WRONG. It was Taylor. And she showed up there and was like SURPRISE BITCH. So there was the word “ME!” and people were saying that’s the album title, and I was hoping it was just the song title. Then Taylor announces to watch the NFL draft on ABC because she’s announcing something. Yet again, only Taylor Swift can get my gay ass to watch something football related. That sort of ended up being a bust, because we already knew the single was. Alex ME! And that’s what she announced. It’s featuring Brendon Urie tough, which is sort of a curveball. They’re voices together though is a forever mood. So yeah, then the song came out Friday, I reacted to it before work in my car, then reacted to the music video during lunch, and got both videos up that day. It’s nice to be putting our videos that are getting decent views. Not that I really care / make money off of these videos. It’s just nice to see those numbers I guess. But the song. It’s good, but it was a little underwhelming until I saw the video. The video helped, but Look What You Made Me Do will always be my favorite lead single from her. There’s so many theories, since Taylor said she hid the title of the album in the video, about that the album could be titled. I’m partial to Heart / Lover theory, but I wouldn’t mind Kaleidoscope, Spectrum, or Calm. There’s literally so many. A lot of people are banking on Home, which I hope is wrong, but I guess only time will tell. I’m just ready for this album, and I’m even more ready for this album to have a name.
And the title of this blog 😂😂. We drank some wine outside Sunday and these two crows kept cawing and flying around us and I said this. We named them Kristen and Rob in case you were wondering. Also, I finished a book this year! Woo! The Long Way Down by Craig Schaefer. I started it last year but finally finished it this year. Feels good to get more reading done.
Until next time,
— Justin
