Just before school
Today I actually forgot to leave work on time. lol I know it sounds weird, but that's what happened. I thought it was 2:10 when I looked at the clock, but apparently it was like 3:10. I turn around and tell the guy I work with, "Shit man its past three, I forgot to leave!" He laughed. Came home at 3:30 and ate some chili my mom made(my recipe) . It's so good. I can't get enough. I'm going to have a bowl right now. Well, actually I'm going to have it in a mini bread bowl. Even better. I finally took my sister school supply shopping today. I don't know why, but school supply shopping is like my high. I flippin love it! Granted, I'm going to cooking school and I don't really need much in terms of school supplies, but I still buy stuff. Just for the hell of it. I also bought my mom a label maker for her spice drawer. We had a lot of fun making funny labels to put on things. My sister made several. The only downside to having to make labels for spices is that I really messes with your sinuses. This is especially true for a green curry my mom bought thats EXTREMELY spicy!

Good things...
The laundry finally got done. I have clothes to wear. I finally found shirts I had forgotten about. Lol my grandma actually said to me, "Damn boy, I'm sick of folding shirts! You have to many!" I am thankful that she did fold them. My room also finally got cleaned. I can actually see my floor. I finally have room to practice my craft. I just have to smudge the room first. Oh I also got new curtains. I like 'em, they're green. (My favorite color) Actually before I smudge, I have to clean my desk. Its a bit of a mess. I have a lot of paper. Oy!! I finally went to the park yesterday! I planned it from the night before to make sure nothing would hinder the trip. I got up at ten to nine and started getting everything ready for the morning. I made sandwiches, got some bottled water and juice together. I decided to take my dog aswell so I had to get his stuff together. That included leash, water bowl and some treats. I got into my car and off we went. When we reached the park, the place was full of people and lots of dogs. I was really suprised. Anyways, after a quick once around the park, I stopped to eat breakfast(I was starving). My dog went through no food but had lots of water. He really isn't one to do much exercising.(He's an english bulldog) After I ate, we went onward and did some exploring. He found a squirrel, I found a crazy bird. The morning was full of animals.About half way around the second time, I realized he was getting tired and needed a break so I stopped and took a seat on a bench and did some reading while my dog took a little nap.(again, not much of an exerciser, but an avid sleeper.) After about thirty minutes, I realized we needed to head home because even though my dog could take a nap in the park, me doing the same may get some unwanted attention. We headed back to the car and made our way home. When I arrived, I took a long nap and so did he.(there's that avid sleeper thing again) Alright gotta go the lady of the house needs the computer....

Learn to Control It
I'm officially going blow my head off! My dad for some reason doesn't understand the concept of staying within our cell phone plans minutes. Because of him my one months bill is two bills in total. The man uses double the minutes in our plan. Every time I tell him about the bill, he just says," Well, I need it for work, what do you want me to do?" Flippin a!!! Grow a brain! I mean little kids can understand the concept of limits, why can't a grown man?! God just thinking about the bill right now is making me mad!!! Urgh I can't even write anymore. You know what? I just need to sit and relax for awhile. Tomorrow is a new day....

Procrastination
Face it, we are all guilty of it. Whether we acknowledge it or not.You'd think that since we live in a world were everything can pretty much happen instantly, that it wouldn't be possible to even think of it happening, but it does anyway. I'm talking about procrastination. The act of postponing, delaying or putting off, especially out of habitual carelessness or laziness. We all "live in the now", but for some reason we are still "stuck in the before". The reason I'm bringing all this up is because I had experienced a bout of procrastination myself. This actually was more than a bout it was more like a season. My room had become over the past couple weeks, a pile of clothes. Now, don't think I'm a slob living in a pigsty, no but I was living in a house with some very lazy people. I mean I really did make it very simple for doing laundry. I gathered my clothes and put them into trash bags and left them in front of the laundry machine. After two days of telling and hinting to have my clothes washed, I finally got the now famous line, "Just put it back and I'll take care of it later" For crying out loud! How about right now! Since you obviously aren't doing anything right now! It's not like it takes so long I mean, it just put clothes in, add tide and hit go! This that really so time consuming it can't be done right now?! Nevertheless, after months of waiting and complaining and having to buy new clothes just to make it through a week, the laundry finally gets moving. Today marks the day we break through the procrastination and move forward in life like we are supposed to. I really hope this doesn't take long...

Recent News
Its been a few days... I kept wanting to post something, but I couldn't make time. Today I had time. Its been an interesting few days. I had a christening I went to for my dads cousins kids. The craziest thing happened at the restaurant, I meet up with an old friend of mine who I hadn't seen in over 8 years. He was working as the valet for the restaurant. It was interesting to catch up and talk. Now, that I think about it, I realize how apart we've grown. I mean obviously we aren't the same people we were 8 years ago, but I guess there was a reason we didn't keep in touch. Well, enough about that. I had planned on seeing Ashton Kutcher's new movie today, the plans fell through for today so it got bumped down to tomorrow. Oh also, we got paid today! I was so suprised, I mean the fifteenth was on a Saturday and I figured payroll wouldn't be done until today, but thanks to the fact that the payroll woman was going on vacation starting Monday, everyone rushed to get the payroll done before she left. Yay for us! I guess today is going to be a short post...

a bit of something
Most people who know me don't really know me all the way. I guess the only person who knows more than everyone else is my younger sister. She may be young but she understands the value of the insight I share with her. I mean shes the only person I know that shes all sides of me. She gets the smart nerd who knows a great deal, she knows the funny guy who loves to laugh and poke fun at others,and she gets the philosophical wiseman whos insight changes the way people look at things. I like to think that because most of the world doesn't know the many facets of me leaves something to mestery and suprise when I shed light on a side they haven't seen. I love shocking people at work with great knowledge and insight a typical nineteen year old would give less of a crap about. Like for example, today a friend of my boss came by. A little incident occured where my boss was on his phone kind of ignoring her and I said, "Texting in front of people has now become socially acceptable" and she began to say how rude he was being to her(sarcastically) .She went on to say how its so impersonal and emotionless to text people until I interjected with, "You know, I wrote a whole paper on how texting and e-mail has forced society to come up with ways to replace emotion and "real-lifeness" in those mediums." She looked at me(and so did my boss) like I was a completely different person. I had gone from this funny care-free cool dude to this smart and sofisticated adult. It really shocked them. She now wants to read the paper I wrote so I have to go looking for it now. Wow this post went in a completely different direction than I thought. Oh well, that's life in your face and always shocking. Laters =-)

My Day Off
okay today was my day off from work so instead of it being a day of unavoidable chaos, it became a day of voluntary chaos. This is not to say that it was necessarily a bad day, but more of a crazy one. To start off I woke up at like 9:30 which is kind of early for me on my day off. Actually, not recently, I like getting up and taking my dog out for a walk. It gives me a chance to watch the world wake up. The air is damp and cool. The spider webs from the night before shine in the early morning dew all to be destroyed by my dogs full bladder. See I had you going there for a second, you thought I was going to continue being all poetic and what not, sorry to dissapoint you. lol the timing was just so perfect and you know what, its true. So anyways... I had to take my sister to dsw in pasadena because she wanted to look at a shoe she saw. After she looked around while I made fun of the outrageous looking shoes, we headed over to rubios at the paseo and had lunch. Even though sometimes I cant stand the little shit, I still appreciate the time we spend together whenever we do. I learned early in life that spending time with the people who make you happy is important because you may not think of it as much now, but if you dont you'll regret it later when they've moved on. When we came home she crashed on the couch in front of the TV while my method of relaxing meant going into the kitchen and doing some cooking. Actually now that I think of it, I have a jar of beef broth my mom made and I'm thinking of maybe doing something with that. Maybe it will come to me later tonight.lol my mom loves it when I get on one of my cooking sprees in the middle of the night, but what can I say food is my life, it helps me relax and put everything in my mind in place. okay done for today. Time to spend time with the family... =-)
The first post...
Okay so I really enjoy writing and sharing my thoughts with other people. I currently use a myspace and a youtube account to share with other people of like mind or those who wish to just converse with someone on a particular topic. For awhile I thought myspace would definitely work for me being a young adult and all, but I guess like I always say on myspace, most people are there just to one up eachother or make "friends" in an attempt to give their lives some meaning. I soon discovered that most of the people I knew that had a myspace didn't really use it to its full potential. Okay wait I think I'm starting to ramble.(takes a deep breath) Okay the reason I decided to put this blog together was so maybe I might find people out there who actually want to hear what I have to say. I spent a good bit of my life as a shy kid who never really tried to stand out, well now those days are behind me! So here I come world!! =-)
