LOST

Missing everyONE I love.

COLD

It's fucking cold outside. I took Lucas out for a walk when I got home from work, and I was only able to stay outside for about five minutes. Poor Lucas would turn around and look at me as if saying "shit it's fucking cold". According to the weather channel app on my iphone it feels like -6. It's fucking cold, I feel sorry for the homeless people and animals. To tell you the truth I feel sorry for the animals more than the people.

Walking Lucas

Mary

What the fuck is wrong with the lady that now thinks that a stain on her wall is an image of the virgin Mary. I don't understand why people will try to make something out of nothing. For does that haven't heard about it a woman in California was making some kind of sauce when some of it splashed on to the wall and now she thinks it the virgin Mary. I took a shit this morning should I go see if it looks like something.

Sleep

I'm sleepy but I don't want to go to sleep. I don't go in to work tomorrow and I sort of want to stay up, but my body is telling me to go to sleep.

The truth is I'm thinking about my parents and my grandmother. My parents just left to Mexico again because my grandmother is sick. I hope she's okay and everything turns out for the better. I want to talk about my grandmother but I really don't know what to say. I'm just scared.

It works

Yes! It works! Victory is mine, now I will blog like there is no tomorrow.

Okay so Thanks Giving is next week and for the first time in my life I'm not really going to have because of work. I was use to making something and sharing it with all my family. All my family, or at least those that were able to make would just eat and tell stories. It would be a time to relax and have fun. It would be an all day thing, but now this year I only have one hour.

On my phone

I don't know if this will work or not, but I just got an application on my phone that let's me blog. My day off and already I sort wish I was at work. Funny how that works, when I'm at work I want to go home and when I'm at home all I think about is work.

ME

I don't know how many still read my blog, or even if I readers with all the blogs out there. I use to get a lot of readers from work and friends but it slowed down. The truth is that I started blogging only so Chad could know what was going on in my life. Over the years this blog has some what become a personal outlet and becoming too personal at times. Someone suggested that I delete my old blogs, but I don't think I will. It's my history and it's me.

So I have decided to start blogging more. I'm still not sure where I'm going to post my pics, if you people have any suggestions let me know. I will still post my thoughts and feelings about the world and things happening around me. Warning I do believe on freedom of speech, so get shocked at some of the things I will say. I will show the work I have been working on this year on my personal web site. So enjoy and ask any questions.

DECISION MAKING DAY

SO FREAKING PROUD OF MY PARENTS

Change

It's time to change. I haven't been so excited about voting since my first time voting almost ten years ago. I'm sad to say that I first voted for Bush for his first term, and regret it with everything in me. My parents are coming from Mexico just to vote, they retired and have a vacation home there.

Save Money Live Better

Save money live better. Never really thought about it until today. Well that's not 100% true. I just never really saw the impact of the idea until today. With the help of Wal-Mart, and some coupons, I was able to save $15. Gas prices are getting lower, and I paid off one on my biggest payments. Time to save money and get a condo.

Tips

I went out to Denny's this morning and I didn't leave a tip. My sister and Chad thought that it was kind of rude that I didn't leave tip, but come on the waitress didn't do anything that made her get a tip. She did her regular, she greeted us, got our order, and only came to our table once. NOTHING extra. If someone wants a tip they better do something that makes them go beyond their job description to get that tip.

Working Overnight

I'm bored tonight. I'm staying up tonight because I have to work overnight for a week.

Ruby Red

RUBY RED IS SICK :(

TOP 5 Song on my iphone

1. M.I.A - Paper Planes
2. Coldplay- Viva La Vida
3. Kanye West - Homecoming
4. Conway Twitty - That's my job
5. P!nk - Family Portrait

Praying Mantis

One of the most beautiful things I have seen at work. I was just coming back from lunch and I heard another manager screaming saying "just get some Raid", and another manager saying "come check this out...". I first thought they just found some kind of nest of spiders or something like that. But i was wrong, as I got closer I saw the mantis on top of some candy. I took it out in a box, and I loved how it was looking at me as I took it out. It's head turning left and right with it's big black eyes. The feeling of it's legs crawling over my hand felt strange, but at the same time good to have was such beautiful creature on my arm.

Wake up call

Don't you hate it when you're sleeping and someone calls you? Lucky my body is always telling me to get my ass up around 5am, so the phone call didn't really wake me up, but the fact that when i picked up they didn't want to tell me who it was. Why the hell would someone call someone else and not tell them who they are. Fucking idots. Does anyone know this number 708-271-74.... oh wait i shouldn't give out the rest of the number. Is there any kind of legal problems that i can get into if i post all the numbers? Well any ways it just pisses me off that someone called me this morning and didn't say who they were. I know it was someone that really knows me because they said another persons name that i know.

iphone

So i got an iphone two days ago, and man it's the best phone i have ever had. I LOVE IT!!! I'm going to try to set up a Flickr account and automatically upload my pics there. I tried doing it today but it was asking me too many questions and i got annoyed.

Help me buy an iphone

Help me buy an iphone. I promise i will post daily messages, pic, and what ever else is in my head. All I need from you is a small donation of $1. If i get enough money i will buy a carrying case and a screen protector. Please HELP

Is it a good thing

Is it a good thing when you dream about your work? Today is my day off and i woke up at my regular time ( 4:45am), i would get up for work thinking about things i could do at work. I even texted a couple of people and made a phone call. A couple of hours later i'm still thinking about work and what needs to get done there. Call me crazy, but i get like this at times with things, maybe over excited at times. I remember when i was a kid and i would spend hour and hours, even days sometimes, working on my toy models. The thing with me is if i see a challenge and i'm excited about it i want to keep on working on it.... I know how to explain it even better, it's just like reading a good book and not being able to put it down. You know you have to go to sleep at 2am but you just want to keep on reading and reading. Thank You J.K. Rowling

165lbs

165lbs, the heaviest I have ever been and unhealthiest. I start my diet tomorrow and I will start going to the gym three times a week. I use to be 145lbs a couple of years ago and I loved how I looked and felt. But recently I stopped going to the gym and didn’t watch what I was eating. I guess I stopped going to the gym because of work and ate whatever was quick and easiest to get.

I will start easy, running/walking 2 mile the first week, and doing some weight lifting. Second week I will run 2 miles, and maybe use the bicycle machine whatever it’s called. At the end of the month I’m hoping that I’m running 3 miles and feeling better. Should I take some pictures of a before and after?

FREE MOVIES

Okay this is just another cool idea. FREE MOVIES from the library, don't get me wrong they are not all that recent but at least they are good and free. I went to the library yesterday after posting some stuff the on blog and i checked out Along came Polly, Cinderella Man, and a PPS special The Life and Times of Frida Kahlo. Plus i also walked over there, saving me about $22.00.

Money Saving Tips

Freak, gas is way to expensive. I just spent about $50 for a full gas to tank. And I’m curious to know what are some of the ways you guys are saving money? I had one idea; I’m going to start by taking my lunch to work instead of spending $7.57 a day. Lets do the math here:

$7.57 x 5 = $37.85 a week.

$37.85 x 4 = $151.40 a month.

Ouch $151.40 and that’s just on Jimmy Jones month. I think I will also stop buying bottle water, and get my own water from my filter at home, and I drink lots of water. Lets do more math here:

$1.00 x 2 = $2.00 a day

$2.00 x 5 = $10.00 a week

$10.00 x 4 = $40. 00 a month

Keep in mind the $40.00 is without taxes, and Chicago just has passed a .5 cent per bottle tax. So at the end of the month I’m estimating to save $191.40. Alright people lets see how the money saving part goes. If you have any ideas or suggestions on more money saving tips let me know.

My Thoughts

07:24am

I couldn't sleep last night. I don't know if it's the bed, or the love making from my neighbors. I woke up around 3am and couldn't go back to sleep, my body was tired and didn't want to move, but my mind was racing with thoughts. I thought about work, photography, and money. I went to another Wal-Mart and looked at things I liked and didn't like. I saw a couple of good ideas that I'm taking to work with.

Now it's 7 something and my mind is still racing. I guess what woke me up was an annoying bark from a dog. I thought about calling the front desk and reporting but my body didn't want to get up.

06:58pm
Eating dinner at Back Yard Burgers, personally I think they are the best burger place around, I wish they were in Chicago. Jordan is eating his food very slow like always. I'm a little upset because they messed up my order twice. The first time they gave me #2 instead of a number one. I went up to the counter and told them they made an error, no biggy. My second time around they forgot to put cheese. I didn't say anything simply because I was too scared of what they would add. I use to work at McDonald's so I remember a few occasions of customers that were extra picky.

We went to Fort Massac and visited the giant Superman statue. We took a few pics and visited the Superman store, but Jordan had to use the bathroom so we went to Fort Massac. Jordan was scared when we had to go up the old ladders at the Forts. Even thought it was raining a little and cold we had a fun time.

It's sad because a lot of the land is flooded and many of the people like Chad's family depend on the land for their money. I was listening to the news this morning and they were saying this area was getting more rain.

03/30/08
07:18am
Again I woke up early without the sounds of my annoying alarm. This time I woke up thinking about Chad's parents. I wish I could help them, lol I wish I could bring my dad down here because he would love it. Working with plants and being outside...

DMV

A small journal entire about my wait at the DMV the other day. I was lucky that I didn’t have to wait too long.


8:46am
I find it funny how serving number jumps from A to D and back to A. Strange. I'm at the DMV waiting to renew my drivers license for my trip to Paducah with Jordan and because it expired a couple of days ago.

8:50am
Oh what the hell now it jumped to F and just a couple of minutes ago I got a glimpse of hope when they called for B151. I sleepy and bored, I start work at 12 and I have my review today.

8:53am
Okay they just called B152, that means I'm next, sort off.

8:57am
Yess they ope...

9:14am
I'm waiting to pay.

9:15am
Picture time...

9:18am
More waiting, but at least it's the last step.

Conway Song

I woke up crying late at night
when I was very young.
I had dreamed my father
had passed away and gone.

My world revolved around him
I couldnt lay there anymore.
So I made my way down the mirrored hall
and tapped upon his door.

And I said "Daddy, I'm so afraid
how will I go on with you gone that way?
Don't wanna cry anymore
so may I stay with you?"

And he said "That's my job,
that's what I do.
Everything I do is because of you,
To keep you safe with me.
That's my job you see."

Later we barely got along
this teenage boy and he.
Most of the fights it seems
were over different dreams,
we each held for me.

He wanted knowledge and learning.
I wanted to fly out west.
Said, "I could make it out there
if I just had the fare.
I got half, will you loan me the rest?"

And I said "Daddy, I'm so afraid,
there's no guarantee in the plans
I've made and if I should fail,
who will pay my way back home?"

And he said "That's my job
that's what I do.
Everything I do is because of you
to keep you safe with me.
That's my job you see."

Every person carves his spot
and fills the hole with light.
And I pray someday I might
light as bright as he.

Woke up early one bright fall day
to spread the tragic news.
After all my travel, I settled down
within a mile or two.

I make my living with words and rhyme
and all this tragedy
Should go into my head and out instead
as bits of poetry.

But I say "Daddy, I'm so afraid,
how will I go on with you gone this way?
How can I come up with a song to say
I love you?"

That's my job, That's what I do
Everything I do is because of you
to keep you safe with me.
That's my job you see.
Everything I do is because of you
to keep you safe with me.

Easter

Come join me I’m alone and bored. I’m on the kitchen table here staring that the computer monitor. A couple of minutes before that I was watching Hell Boy and thinking about my parents and how I miss them. It’s cold outside today around 30 or something like that. According to the News it’s been one of the coldest Easter’s for some time. There goes the egg hunt. I have never understood what’s the deal with a giant rabbit and looking for its eggs. The only time I remember my family every doing something for Easter was about when I was 9 or 10 and one of my family members got me a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. I asked them why and they said it was for Easter, personally I think they found it or stolen.

The table is dirty, covered with a large bowl of popcorn, an empty gallon of milk, an 8 pack of Mexican soap, a couple of empty plates and my plastic cup of orange juice. I have to clean up but I have been to busy at work.

I guess I have to clean up. So talk to you all later.

Happy Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

SICK

I had pieces of glasses cutting down my throat every time i swallowed. It hurt and i couldn't breath at night. My voice took a small vacation, well my nose went out for a run. I was sick, and i was scared.

Green Lights

I'm sleepy...but i don't want to go to sleep. I feel like talking but don't know what to say and where to start.

Should I go to sleep? I don't know...

2005 Jeep Liberty

Well i just bought a new car. My first real car, i only say this because i have had other cars before but i just got them from a family member or something. According to the lease the previous owner was ??????? Harris. I didn't think my credit was good enough to have it on my name, but yeah it's all mine. Man insurance is a bitch, my father was telling me that i have to get married and pop a few kids, lol!!!

RED EYES

My eyes are red, nose is stuffed, but i'm alive. I went running looking for it. I ran running for a long time. But it found me.

Okay i have to stop before i get too personal and i did say that i wasn't going to get too personal in my blogs. I just felt like talking with someone today. I'm bored. But i do have red eyes, i have red in my mind and heart.

?

"What are you blogging about?"

"What? No sex for six months for a 50' plasma TV."

"What not even masturbation?"

"Oh man i would go crazy"

"Oh man that would be messed up, the dog ate the bird."

Lol, just a small conversation i had before taking my eyes off and going to sleep.

"TCLU"

What up...

My CPU went out on my computer, and i don't think i will buy a new computer until i have enough money saved up to buy an Apple. I will be able to check my email on my phone. Last time i didn't have my internet i wrote and i wrote on my phone. Well people i have to go to sleep now but i just wanted to let you all know that i'm still alive and loving it.
