Its nice to have family

I recently was having a conversation with my mom about how things were going, you know how I'm holding up with my job search and with money. You can't lie to your mom so I went into how I'm frustrated and discouraged, its nice to hear that someone still believe that you can amount to something. I miss my family, just being around people that have know me my whole damn life and even though I've made mistakes they still love me the same. I think sometimes we forget that we're all capable of mistakes and we label people that have a lapse of judgment pieces of crap or horrible people. Thank God for family.
I like to think that family is more than just your real family but also friends but their are very few friends that turn the other cheek.. I've been fortunate to have good friends, at least I still think they're pretty good friends...I still talk to basically the same people I was talking to 7 yrs ago..I think that's really neat..Anyways I'm rambling..

I can't type anymore because my guns hurt..So I'm out for now..

Its about that Time.

SO apparently I haven't been missed since the lack of comments regarding my hiatus has been anything but dorminant. No matter, I read from time to time and I come across odd pieces of information for so called experts. Isaac Mizrahi apparently an expert in the fashion realm and according to him
"Fat is the new black. There is something incredibly sexy about it. Besides, people with a lot of muscle don't look good in clothes."

I guess I shouldn't lose weight, I'm more fashionable now then when I'm in shape?? Though this might sound absurd he did manage to give a good piece of advice- You may as well be gay if you're going to start coordinating outfits with your girlfriend!!! hahaha...


Moving along, since people like using stats to emphasis a point or make themselves credible I too will follow heed. I use to think being a democrat meant that I was less conservative but according to a survey by the John Birch Society found that on a scale of 1 to 100 ( 100 being most conservative) that republican senators were scaled at 24 while in the same survey democrat senators where scored at 29. I guess all those sex scandals sorta skew those numbers.

I would like to leave you with a website to check out..

What if?

Juror E-23

So today was the day I did my civil duty for the "Great State of Florida", I went in for jury duty and didn't get picked so that means I've done my civic duty for this year...Though if chosen again I'll just move from the county and not deal with it again. I just sat on benches all day and listen about people's troubled past!!!! It was really messed up how slow the process is! So anyways, I stayed at the court from 8 till just past 5 with only a hour lunch break! I think I played on my phone and Ipod till the batteries went dead! Gosh, who knew it sucked that bad to be so civil oh and on top of that I got paid 15 dollars to do it! Yeah, I know..I already spent that on the gas that it cost me to get to the Court! I'm feeling a bit exasperated in that I haven't gotten any call backs on the jobs I"ve applied for! I'm going broke and no income coming in. Michele has like 4 jobs and I can't even get one..Well at least on that I love!

SO yeah...I'll post a video that I took of my Civic duty tomorrow...Its very patriotic, until then.

Florida: Its harder to leave than you think!

SO Holly came to visit this weekend and I have no proof that she was here other than the fact that I stayed up all night everynight and I have a big smile on my face, that should be enough! Coincidentally Tichael Mucker was here visiting this same weekend. Holly left on Monday morning like she was suppose to and Mike tried, well he didn't try as much as he just sorta of let fly by...So his 2nd valiant attempt at leaving the "Great State of Florida" his attempt was thwarted by an undependable host that will remain anonymous, apparently sleep was more important. I hope Tical doesn't lose his job, however I don't think I've seen the last of him. Moving on to my life, what did exactly did I do this weekend. Well, after my weekly Friday meal with JDS & Latiak: we( Latiak,Tical,and JDS) went to the beach and acted like kids, you know we threw the Frisbee around, laid around like kids and sucked up the sun. I said hi to Jerry who was macking on Latiak but that's what young kids do! After all that commotion we ended up going to Greek Feast and feasted on some delightful Greek food...My mind was really just thinking about picking up my girl at Midnight so the next couple of hours were a blur. I must say that there isn't a better sight than seeing my beautiful gal come around the corner and greeting her with a nice big hug and kiss! So really everything else was gravy this weekend. There was some food,desserts, water fun, and quiet time.

oh, I can't go without mentioning that you should never ever go on a casino cruise ship unless its ultra classy and there's some great food offered on the boat. I wasted a perfect Saturday night on a boat three nautical miles off Cape Canervial this weekend and I didn't even like win any money!

Anyways that's all for now..

Hiatus!

I was looking to see when the last time I had posted a entry and it shocked me that I had been away for almost a month! WOW...
So what's going with me? Well, I'm in a transition right now balancing what I really want to do in life, I don't know really what to say about how its going other than its going. What else, Holly is coming in this weekend so I'm excited,happy,elated, etc...Its been 3 months since the last time I've seen her, I must be crazy to still be doing the long distance relationship but I think the other side to it is that I'm crazy about HAT. Oh, I've stopped shaving, I haven't shaved for 9 days, I can't say it looks great but it feels great so I guess its ok.

I watched Jackass 2 this past Friday and society is in trouble! I know it is because humor has been depleted to gross antics, I mean I laughed but then I felt dirty for watching it. Sorry, I just lost my train of thought I was watching The Hills and there's a breakup in progress. Its amazing, real life sometimes isn't as real as its suppose to be. I mean in this break up the girl had the most awesome lines- "I just can't do this anymore!", and "I'm done"...Then you fade in the catchy music in the background! Oh damn, I wish I had a an awesome song playing in the background when ever something monumental events in my life!

anyways I'm going to the pool and swim around!

Peace

So tell me...

I've been curious lately about one thing...men have a way of boasting, bragging if you will about stuff be it a sports team, how fast our cars can go, how many girls we've hooked up with, the list could go on. I've tried to ask holly about how women brag or what they brag about it? SO fes up, what do women brag about it?

Anyways i've been on a hiatus of late, I guess other people's life have been more exciting than mine.....i'm under some pressure..but latter on that.

I was just discussing with the guys about how elderly people will cat/dog food to be able afford their medication...man i hope i never resort to that. Anyways i'm just chillin like villian here at the house... hopefully this week won't suck..

Well Reality TV is about to rule the house and i'm out...big brother can kiss my arse..

This is a boring entry...i'm sorry i couldn't entertain... I think I need to be playing a game to be on my wittiest behavior.

Oxford Ln underwater!

But if I can't swim after forty days
And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me up
Lift me up - When I'm falling
Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying
Lift me up - I need you to hold me
Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again

Those were the lyrics that were racing through my head yesterday as RHB, Schmidty, and Me foolishly drove out in what seemed to be a freakin Hurricane. I had never seen the water rise up so fast on a road. Like I could feel the water rushing underneath the car. Luckily for Royce, I was sitting in the back (I anchored the car) but seriously it was freakin bananas! All for a sandwich from Quiznos!? So the water stopped falling and we were making our way back home. So as we were turning on to 17-92 (pronounced 1792 as if it was a yr and not two highways) the civic starts to sputter and then it just dies in the middle of 436 & 17-92!!!! HA,ha...That's all I could do because the alternative would be to panic! SO we get out and push the car to the near parking lot which was Club Juanna, a closed strip joint on 17-92! I know, this is to good to be true. Well, it all happen. We chilled outside with our umbrellas until bakes came by with the jeep....The kicker of the night was when Royce is like, "ok open up your trunk, I need to put my clubs in your car"

...That's right ladies don't get between a man and his Sports equipment-you might just get hurt.

SO that was my hump-night. I tried to enjoy my over-priced sandwich but it honestly wasn't that good...Thank goodness for Honey Buns!

Editors note: Yet another storm in Central Florida...Stay away from the puddles ya'll!

How is it September?

How is it September already? It’s amazing how fast time flies when you’re not doing anything, I kid. Anyways apparently there’s a world of change for many of your out there, I’ve been reading though I haven’t been posting. In all fairness I was away for a couple of days and then the long holiday weekend was upon us and I don’t do any computer work on those days. Apparently some of you are moving in and moving out, some of you have found love and some of you are having troubles with staying in love? (I’m assuming that last one!) There have been fights, tears, and long nights of no sleep some for good reasons and some for not so good reasons. I’m sure you all know how to cope with these things very different ways…I applaud you for that.

I had an interesting lunch experience today, I went to Powerhouse café, and for those not familiar with this place, it’s a small smoothie joint that serves sandwiches and assortment of good things for you that taste good. Well, apparently Craig found a picture that was taken (what feels like yrs ago) with me, Craig, Mandy, and two others. Wow, that was crazy to see. It was a bit nostalgic. Speaking of Mandy, she’s in Orlando and wanted to hang out but I don’t have your number girl!!! I just checked my phone! Anyways…
Holly started her new teaching job today, 6th graders can be monsters. I remember being in 6th grade, I was horrible… thank goodness for puberty it humbles you.

Ok, pop culture stuff… I had the pleasure of watching Little Miss Sunshine and I was really pleased. It’s was funny and quirky, just like me, but yet had a purpose by the time the credits rolled, again just like me.

If you don’t take anything away from this entry, go watch the movie, its good and I have no reason to lie to you.


~Erin, you need to get a host account to host your music…once you get that, I’ll show you how to hook it up.

Peace out…


Oh, more thing-Cheyenne Kimball was playing at the Social last week! She was on Mtv and now she’s doing shows for 10 bucks!!!! That’s worse than working for FH.

Windy cities blues!

Take me back to Chicago
Lay my soul to rest
Where my life was free and easy
Remember me at my best.
Take me back to Chicago
Where music was all I had
I tried to be good as I could
And sometimes that made me sad.
Take me back to Chicago, to Chicago
Why don't you take me back
Take me back, take me back
To Chicago.
I still dream of the Lake of peacefulness
The warm summer breeze
'Cause my life was so much simpler then
Street corners and Tastee Freeze.
Take me back to Chicago
'Cause hustlin's not my style
LA was just a bit too hard
I wish I could be a child
Livin' back in Chicago, in Chicago
Why don't you take me back
Take me back, take me back
To Chicago.
Take me back to Chicago
Lay my soul to rest
Where my life was free and easy
Remember me at my best.
Take me back to Chicago
'Cause hustlin's not my style
LA was just a bit too hard
I wish I could be a child.
Livin' back in Chicago, in Chicago
Why don't you take me back
Take me back, take me back
To Chicago.
Take me back, take me back.

Yeah so that was great huh? I was back in the Midwest this past Thursday, it was odd coming back to a place that I had been so many times and considered my second city. I even made it back to Mechanic St in good o’l Berrien Springs. My uncle owns the house I spent my college years in so it was freakin crazy to be there again and not have all my mates there. I stopped by to visit my favorite Fuste’s after I picked up my usual at Baguette France (Veg on sour-dough w/garlic sauce minus blk olives, yum!) they were happily and confused, they kindly showed me their pad, they’re great! Also saw an old face while I was there, Heather and her baby girl. It’s insane to think she’s a mom; she still looks the same from 4 yrs ago. Friday night I hung out with muthatucker, T, Schmidty and we shared some good laughs!!! Its was great seeing them, sorry I don’t have pictures of them but I felt a bit odd saying hey let me take a picture of you two! Finally I made it back to Chicago and we did the Tourist thing, after we got lost in the freaking ghetto! Thanks Tena. I got all confused and went to the Science and Industry Museum instead of the field Museum, plus I forgot to go to Millennium Park! I guess I can’t be expected to remember everything right? I did get to see the J Brown’s and schmidty again! He was stalking me! Haha, I kid, I kid. I realized that no matter how long of time goes by it always feels like the last time when I see JB!! That’s right, that just happened!
Sunday was just a day of walking, I went to the zoo where I heard a Tiger yell, which just made me curious to see who would win a staring contest between me and the tiger. As I got closer I realized he would because his breath stunk like caca! I also saw the king of the jungle, he was chillin on a rock with his legs spread open! Lazy fool.

I ended up by the Zebra’s and I thought how cool it would be to ride a zebra, then I remembered that I didn’t know how to ride a horse how would I know what to do with a Zebra?! Moving on, we made it to Navy Pier…there’s picture that I will post…if anything it was nice to be with my fam.

I suppose if anything, it was great to see my Mom smile, she told me the night before I left, that she smiles the most when she my face! Thanks Mom, I think you’re great too!

Alex attacking me

There's so much beauty in the world i just can't take it

Oh I'm ready for it...

What an interesting weekend of laziness! Wow, what a way to begin…I did nothing all weekend and yet I feel like I got hit by a semi this morning. I’m drinking Pepsi at 10:14am because I might must keel over and sleep at my desk. Anyways things of interest from the weekend :

1) Went go-karting. Funniest thing that happen was watching Jessica spin out and then get t-boned by some kid. That evening just justified me saying that she is perhaps the worst driver if I’ve ever known.
2) Old people aren’t so bad after all. I spent a small part of my Saturday afternoon at the pool talking to my next neighbor about nothing. I see him every morning outside of his garage. Always staring and judging us; somehow at the pool he seems ok. I probably won’t be talking to him outside of the pool.
3) I went to go see Snakes on a Plane. IT was everything I thought It would be…however, yes there is a however it does have an awesome headlining song by the group Cobra StarShip. You should check it out.
4) I love Limewire.
5) Some girl from my junior high days just messaged me on Myspace???? Very odd!

Something to ponder

- Leo Rosten
Ok..thats all for this dreadful Monday morning…

a short passage..

She clinches to the sleeves of that old tattered sweatshirt, a sweat-shirt that has seen better days, it’s oversized and hides her small frame. Her matching pants adorn this broken woman, it’s an outfit of defeat. The battles of wills have long been decided. His things have been packed and all collected for him. She’s placed them nicely at the entrance of the apartment. No need for him to come in and sit down, everything that was suppose to be said has been yelled and screamed, she has no more words for him. If only she could keep it all in, her eyes can’t lie as well as the rest of her. He manages to say a few things, words that will be forgotten or distorted in days to come. The tears stream slowly down his cheeks and as he looks at her for perhaps one last time he sees her eyes are bright green, he always said she had beautiful eyes even when being drowned by tears and just like that, it’s over. Years of joy, hurt, love, and pain have ended, at least with him. He was an example of all emotions realized. She was neither complete with him nor empty without him. She loved him but she won’t miss him.

Her phone rings, she picks it up but doesn't answer it, as she walks towards the door she places it down on the table. She won’t be answering to anyone, not for a while at least. As her dried tears are all but gone from her rosy cheeks, a sigh of freedom can be heard. She grabs her keys and as she closes the door behind her she catches her reflection off the hallway mirror, and she see herself smiling.

(Playing in the background)

-chorus-
She holds a key
Tight in her hand
Clutching his neck
She is begging her man
Listen you sinner
I'm sinning too
Just wait until the darkness falls so I can sin with you


dooo do do do do dooo....

Don't Hesitate

I was watching high fidelty tonight, actually its still on and I just watched the part where Lisa Bonet is singing "oooh baby love your way, everday, I wanna tell i love your way, wanna be with you night and day" well i just listened to the orginal and it sorta sucks. I wonder how Peter Frampton would feel if I told him that???
He's probably tell him go somewhere, which is what i would do too.

Anyways its 2am and i was really trying to go to bed by 12a...I guess I get an F for that effort.

I've decided that life without a woman is really dull, I'm not saying that its impossible for me to have a good time without one but Its a whole lot easier if you have someone. agh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


who needs a drink?

Happy Birthday toooooo yoooooouuuuuuu!

So the girl that never wanted to grow up has gotten older. She is no longer closer to twenty as she is to thirty.

Happy Birthday Jessica!

I hope you have a memorial birthday day.

This post is for that IP address or neighboring cities.

There was a full moon lastnight, aside from human sacrifices and wicca meetings nothing crazy happens,right? Supposedly/allegedly there are an abundant amount of Ions in the air that make women go crazy!!! I was skeptical of such notions but today at work the ladies here exchanged weird stories how they were acting crazy. Holly too was a bit off lastnight, more than usual :)
love ya baby.

The only thing I can gather from this is that women are a finely tuned machine, without proper maintenance (i.e love and affection) proper conditions (feeling and living in a comfortable environment) they are prone to erratic behavior- like howling at the moon or yelling at their boyfriends.

I'm hoping that a cure can be found, otherwise I'll become a victim of this phenomena

Its interesting what pictures can do to conjure up odd thoughts. Like was the model behind the this ass shot happy about hold some cheeks? Also do those hands belong to a man or woman. I'll tell you what I think, I mean you really want to know otherwise why the hell would be reading this right now. I think that it doesn't really matter, I'd love to be the guy getting his cheeks grabbed. Yeah, I said it deal with it. If that ain't sexy then I don't know what is!

I think Jessica is stalking me...don't believe me? Take a look!

and again here!

I .....I think she might be after my black card. Its exclusive to only cool people!!

In closing, I wouldn't mind trying that Mango Mojito.

IS there someone out there that can interpret dreams? Not like reading into cards or anything like that, but a professional that can offer some advice to person seeking help understanding why his mind is playing tricks on him. It’s just a thought. So moving on,
We ventured into yet another low, we watched John Tucker Must Die last night, not to be confused by Confederate Zombie Killers starring James Tucker. I know most of you are rolling your eyes but the few that are eagerly awaiting my thoughts about this movie well here it is. If you were a guy you’d enjoy this movie only because of the gorgeous women in the movie and if you were a girl watching this movie you’d only enjoy it because you see that guy from desperate housewives, and passions take off his shorts and shirt.

Update, my No Eating out at Restaurants (gosh I have to find a better name for this) experiment is working out well. I haven’t gone out to eat this week. I can tell there’s a difference after a week. I’ll post some pictures by week 3.

I had an interesting conversation via Google Talk yesterday, I find it refreshing that even after (2+3, carry the 1, minus that bad semester) 7yrs of knowing them its good to be surprised, however this person tends to be able to figure me out after a few trial and errors…unfortunately for them, I’ve paid attention to them the past 7yrs to be able to figure them out too!

So I decided I’ll take up the offer from my mom & sis to spend a couple of days with them in Chicago at the end of August. Some of you have no idea about what’s been going on but there was a fall-out between me and mom. I think this will be first step towards normalcy for us.

I’d like to thank the ladies (EB, Kendra) for responding to my open question regarding friendship between men & women. I’m glad that I’m not the only one that thinks that. (see my comments section from my previous post)

I want to start making my t-shirts, I don’t know if I mentioned that before but I’m seriously thinking it can be a great idea to get some of my thoughts on cloth, ha ha.
That’s right; cloth is the old, new papyrus. Like black is the new white!

In closing: During my conversation on Google Talk© (hoping for some kind of residual from that) the topic or perhaps it was statement, that not enough people are “brutally honest with each other” came out. Is that true? Do we bullshit our friends to only have someone else break the news to them? Are we incapable of telling someone we love/care what we really think about them?

Hold that thought.

Ya man!

I always seem to be hearing how life on the Islands is so great; I’ve visited an island once. It was off the Caribbean, the Bay Islands or as the local call them las Islas de la Bahia, from that lone experience I was really impressed of how lazy people can be on an island. Red stripe- hooray!
I bet you never hear them say, Man I wish I could run away to the mainland, wouldn’t that be great!?! Ha ha ha…probably not.

Things I’ve noticed lately that you might find interesting:

Mullets are prevalent among our age group.

Women hate on other women so much, why all the hate. Chances are that they’re not after your man or trying to move into your turf! So territorial!

I’ve been listening to a lot of old ballads being performed by current singers. Gavin Degraw’s rendition of “against all odds” is priceless as well as John Mayer covering “walk on the ocean”.

I’ve been having odd dreams of old girlfriends lately…what the hell is that about?

Jessica is crazy! I really think she’s crazy!

When will the question of whether a guy & girl can just be friends be answered? I’m still waiting for the answer.

Listening to music at work makes the day go by so fast…oh look its 5 o’clock already, its time to go home.

Sleep has become my foe and my goal…one day, one day I will defeat my foe and reach my goal.

I’ve never dated a Latin woman.

If I had a symbol to identify me I think it would be 1<? I don’t know I think I’m on to something….1< is more???

Everyone I just want you to know that I Eat Fresh!


I want to go to sleep…for a week.

Its a mysterious leg, i don't know who it belongs to???? I was more excited about using her fork then actually eating the banana nut bread..cool cutlery.

Well, in other news i was able to get some meaningful rest this weekend..Thank goodness.


I'm sorta of tired so i'll just wish everyone a good case of the mondays!

Making a Mojito

I hope you clicked on the link. I had an experience with a Mojito once. I went to this Cuban restuarant and i ordered a mojito, thinking it would be clear but yet minty. When they came back it was like a glass of grass..no good color, it was like drinking a bush!!! I asked them to take it back and bring me back something refreshing not a glass with grass clippings.

SO my attempt of sleeping more hrs failed miserably. I have a problem, i'm gonna try Lauri advice of drinking a glass of water and going to bed an hour before i intend to. Well..we'll see.

I hope everyone has a great weekend..

Westcoast friends: enjoy that heat!
Eastcoast which is me too..its been a great hurricane season...

i shouldn't have done that!
