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!

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
Money can't buy happiness, but neither can poverty.
- 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 Jessica!

I hope you have a memorial birthday day.

74.119.10.#

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

Sunday, August 06, 2006

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.

Friday, August 04, 2006

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!

Wednesday, July 26, 2006

You can do it!


I can’t believe how much money I spent eating out in one month!!! According to my bank statement I spent roughly around $382 dollars between June 9 and July 7. WTF!@@ Its almost as much as rent. If I spent half that and ate at home I’d be in way better shape overall…So since I’m not going to sleep before nine! I’m going to try really hard not to eat out this coming month. I know its going to be a challenge because I love to go out; it’s not really about the food as much as it about not having to clean up.

If I see good results I think I’ll have to change my lifestyle…

Starting August 1... I’m going to do 30 days of not eating out.

I do however need some help with the rules/guidelines.
Like I can’t buy any food that has been prepared for me by another person and that will involve me tipping them…? Ok I get one place a week…I have birthday’s dinners in the month of August that I don’t want to miss.

So leave a comment and help me take back my bank account from the jaws of my mouth?

Singing


I forgot to mention that I had a stupid semi drunken experience in the men's bathroom this weekend. No, I didn't pee on myself or fall down or any other bull crap thing. I was peeing in the urinal next to this other random guy and YMCA came on...without ever looking at each other we started singing it (its crucial to remember that we didn't look at each other the whole time) and then we'd forget the words and start humming the sound and then back to the Y-M-C-A...I wish I could tell you I was able to do the signals and pee at the same time but frankly I was not that skilled at the time.

anyways so Jess was here late last-night doing homework...well she was actually just watching t.v and checking her damn site meter. I felt bad that she was sick but then I remember where she went to get sick and all those feelings of pity went away as fast as that private jet she rode on...but in all seriousness I do hope you feel better!

Well my girlfriend went to go shoot guns the other day like a redneck with some dude...and yes I got f*ing mad....I probably would of lost it if it weren't for the fact that I had friends in the nearby room. If you want to get your boyfriend extremely mad then go out with a random guy.. no more.....

goodnight everyone..

This weekend

This weekend:

I some how lost track of time this weekend because I went to bed @ 5am, twice!!!
I’m really struggling right now with just being able to not close my eyes and not having them not open again till tomorrow! Last night I tried to get to sleep at a decent hour and all that happened was that I couldn’t fall asleep. I just tossed and turned all night… I woke up exhausted. So with that in mind, I’ll be going to sleep at 9p all week this week. I’m going to get 10 hrs of sleep… I know only people that are unemployed achieve this kind of sleep but I’m willing to try, I have to try because if I don’t I just might die.


Ok, this is all I got..

I can barely type this.

Friday, July 21, 2006

estoy cansado!

Its friday!!!!Yeah...
Ok....
Yeah....

As I was throwing out the trash this morning I had my ear buds around my neck, I guess the fell in the trash bin when I threw the trash bags in there. No big deal, I’m constantly dropping crap all over the place. Oh, first I went back into the house to look for the ear buds because I had figured out that I had dropped them in the trash can, damn it! I waste 3 minutes and then I give up, I look in the trash can just in case, and presto there they are! Dilemma: They drop in the trash can where there’s trash and stuff. Do I still put use the ear buds and put them in my ear? Or Do I throw them out because chances of getting an ear infection have increased because of the fact that my ear buds are contaminated?

I compromise, well sorta of. I throw away the black little covers. Besides aren’t they on there to protect your ears?!

Oh man, I’ll probably get ridiculed for writing about this but last night I played Halo2 with Royce and Tim- yeah you guessed it. It was awesome. I mean I’m mediocre at best ( I don’t really like playing it that much, compared to my tennis game) but I was doing ok yesterday. I think the part I enjoy the most during the games is the pre-game talk on the communicators. Its like a chat room gone wrong. Last week some one said I was a lesbo because my tag name is lesismore79… there far worst stuff being said during the games.
Anyways this kind of behavior (me playing tons of video games) is happening, because of my long distance relationship. I remember this happened back in school, I don’t know why girls start to date me and then leave to another country???? Maybe I should of done that! Yeah, I got really good at Counterstrike and then I had to quit because my girlfriend came back…this will probably be true of Xbox live. Well at least Hol is banking on this happening. LOL! Love you boo!

I’d like to give a little shout out to some people:

~Justin, I know you don’t read this but if you do- follow through!!!
~Susie, I’m glad I enticed you to leave a comment. I miss you girl! I found cheap tickets to NYC!!!
~Hol, I love you. Enough said. How do you feel about visiting your brother?
~Jess and KK, Don’t forget to bring me a gift. Each one of you, hahahaha..i’m not kidding.
~Erin Banks, hope your days back in LA are treating ½ as good as when you were in WA. I’m glad you blog!
~Kinders, why is that you travel so damn much but your travels never bring you down here? Hmmm, interesting.
~Shelly, Get better…and did I tell you I saw your cousin Tony?
~Royce, what are we doing this weekend? Holla at your boy!
~CB, see above!
~Trisha, what’s up, how you doin?
~Mandy, what’s up with you and Erin being blog friends, because I heard from jess that you didn’t like her punctuation style? Just kidding..yeah i hope to see you when you get back in to town.
~Chemimosa, I’m glad I starting talking to you again. Sorry you didn’t see any vagina’s on your birthday. Editor note this is a private joke!
~you know who are, I still can’t figure out how you’re not showing up my meter… but its ok..



Wow that just got way out of hand.

Thundersticks

That seems to be the norm here right now. Sure it will start off sunny and hot, just like any other typical central Florida day. There’s a false sense of normalcy because you think you’ll be able to enjoy yourself outside once 5p comes around. Perhaps you want to play a quick little game of basketball, or play a nice game of tennis, or perhaps even freaking take a swim. NO, you can’t! The clouds roll in slowly as if they knew you were looking forward to being outside, then out of now where all hell breaks loose. There’s lighting bolts all over the freaking place, the ground shakes each time they strike. Perhaps you’re watching a movie at the time or maybe enjoying a quick game online with fellow nerds and then the power goes out. Great, I’m in the dark now and I can’t take a shower or listen to my music because you’re live in fear of being struck by lighting bolts. This happens everyday, imagine that.

Moving on to more turbulent matters, yesterday it was made aware to me that some people still keep a journal/diary. Hear me out before you tune me out. I’m not saying it’s not a good idea (sorta of Jr high) but I think it can be detriment (you’ll read back on crap that you should of let go) and it will just take you back to feeling like you felt when you wrote it (shitty or very happy but are you really writing about stuff that made you happy?) My whole qualm is that some emotions shouldn’t be shown on a physical piece of paper for the severe consequences that might occur if someone else read them (perhaps a current boy/girl friend with jealous tendencies) and because then there’s proof that you were a homo at one point. I mean I write poetry because that’s the kind of guy I am. I’m touch with my feeling (I’m a total homo).

Ok one more thing, where the hell is Susie? Supposedly she was moving to NYC and living in a loft but I haven’t heard a thing about whether she made it there or anything. If you’re reading this (which I hope you are) give a dude a ring, I seriously want to come and visit. I said that about L.A but that whole 3hr time change was really bringing me down.

Jess don’t talk to the odd Bahamian men and keep KK away from them too, she too nice to strange people.

I’m out!

(none)

I love the Budweiser commercials with the crown outline and that hot song playing in the background “there’s a party over here” or something like that!
Anyways I was watching some extras last night from the 40yr old virgin and I just couldn’t keep it together! The part where that little Indian man is talking to Andy and he starts naming off all these sexual references, I lose it every-time. It easily can be compared to when Will Ferrell gets shot in the neck with the dart gun in Old School!

Side Note: I love friendships that can pick up where they left off. I hadn’t really talked to JB in like 6 months, which was the last time I was in Chicago, and he called yesterday. We talked like for like a 1 ½ hr. That’s a lot for guys!

I was in a pissy mood late night because holly told me she might go see a movie with a guy she just met at the gym. I’m glad that she didn’t do it; I probably would have said some very mean things to her. I’m not insecure about her, I just don’t like the idea of a guy that I don’t know going to see a movie with my girl.  Irrational, perhaps, justified- you bet your ass it is.

I wish it would stop raining… I need to play some tennis.

How is that Mandy and Erin are like blog friends, they don’t even know each other?

In constant sorrow

In constant sorrow...

So Tuesday is just about done and I just posted my first post of the week? I don’t know why I’ve been slacking off in the blogging scene. I’m sorry EB, I’m just not motivated to write about stuff but I do enjoy reading your entries. It’s like Bridget Jones Diary, without the whole dodgy British men and big knickers! I was thinking about all the post I erased when I deleted my first blog, I had some real good stuff on there, I guess I’m sad I didn’t print them out, it feels like a good joke that’s lost its punch line. Anyways, I have a confession to make, are you ready? Well apparently my cool head has gone on a vacation. I punched the TV the other day, it was a draw! I didn’t break my hand and the T.V was still intact. I really don’t know what to say about it, perhaps I’m like my alter ego, Cisco, a man full of passion and emotion that isn’t exhibited in a very constructive manner.

On a side note I made some dinner yesterday for myself and it felt gooood… I made some Penne Pasta with Vodka Sauce and some French bread. Sorry, no veggie were killed in the operation.

Ugh, I just got yet another invite to play Fantasy Football, I don’t like playing games like that because I don’t like the whole scene. Guys watching games to see how there players do… and its worse when they favorite teams are playing against there players for that week. I don’t care enough to play…

Anywho…I’m tired and its time to get outta here.

I’ll continue to fight to live the dream…
