Updates!

Wow... been almost a month since the last time that I wr0te. It's a lazy Sunday. Stephanie is sleeping on the futon. We had started watching Corpse Bride, then she feel asleep. Two jobs will take it out of ya...

I am a little sick. My ears and throat are hurting, but that's ok... 'tis the season right? Speaking of 'tis the season, Stephanie and I put up our tree yesterday. Check it out..



We also had some hot chocolate....


Even Mallos got to have some fun...


Here is us in the middle of tree putting upage...


Ok, I'm back... I am in the middle of cooking dinner. I do have some more stuff to write about like Thanksgiving and my mother's visit, but I will do that tomorrow from work if I have the time. I took some cold medicine and it's making me drowsey.

Peace out nigger...

I have been to hell...

Yes... that's right...

I have been to hell.

I took a spinning class tonight.

I will not be walking tomorrow.

Let's back up. Jose got back from Spain last night. He's been pretty stressed out and has been needing to blow off some steam so I asked him if he wanted to go play racketball at the gym tonight after work. He agreed.

When we got there, we started playing, then Joe Metrosexual comes into the court and tells us that we can't play on the court b/c we have black soled shoes. Racist...

When we go back upstairs to see what we are gonna do, one of the gym employees apparently noticed that we were walking around aimlessly and asked us if we wanted to take a spinning class. I think... hmm... how bad can this be...

Fast forward ... 17 minutes into the class I ask myself... "what the fuck were you thinking?". There are 43 more minutes to go... this is crazy. Then I decide that I am going to stop being a pussy and stick it out. I did. It was a ridiculous workout. I was pretty much drenched when the class was over.

On to other topics... things are fantastic with Stephanie. I love this girl so much. She is literally all that I want in a girlfriend and then more. And the best thing about all of it is that it is pretty much effortless. We just are so good together.... thank you Texas, thank you myspace, thank you to whatever made her find me. I can go on and on about how great she is, but I think you, the blog reader can already see just from my tone, what an impact she has had on my life.

On November 11th, we will be together (officially) for a month and I can just see it going on indefinitley. It doesn't scare me at all to think about things like getting a place/house together. That's right... not scared at all.

Mallos loves her too... look at what she does to him...


Amazing...

Anyway... I'm gonna wrap this blogspot up...

In summary:
- I visited hell tonight. I am sure I will remember it tomorrow when I can't walk.
- I am happier in my life now than I have been in a really long time... arguable ever.
- I love my girlfrind a lot.

Peace out yo...

Weddings and things...

I just woke up ... and it's cold!!! I missed this weather so much. Hopefully, Texas will be kind of like this when I get home tomorrow night. I have to say... because of some special person in TX (you know who you are hehhe), I am actually looking forward to going back there. Weird, huh? Anyway... I went to Danielle's wedding last night. I had a really good time. It was really great to see all of my friends. I love them. I was talking to Renee last night for a little bit, and whoa... I have known these people for about 5 years now. That's crazy. There is a picture of myself and the bride.

Daniellen and Lenny look so happy together. It's so awesome to see two people that are so happy to be with each other. I am happy that they invited me, that I came up for it and that I know all of them.

Some more pics...

Some updates...

My my a lot has happened since my last post. Where to start...

Ok... most importantly... Stephanie and I FINALLY hooked up = ). The chem was always there, just right place right time.. no more details. She is awesome and we are having a blast.

Next... I am home in NYC visiting my family this week/weekend. My grandmother turned 70 yesterday (10.06.2005) and my friend Danielle is getting married on Sunday. I am trying to work in seeing friends and whatnot too... it's always kind of tough.

I got an IM from Heber yesterday telling me that I got an award from work. I guess my hard work is noticed. That is nice... nice to know someone notices that I work my ass off every fucking day... and a little extra money never hurt anyone.

I spoke to Gabi today. I was hoping to be able to see her and Tommy and the whole crew tonight, but they are going to PA so maybe Sunday after the wedding. Tonight, I am hanging out with Sara for a bit. Tomorrow, we are having the party for my grandmother, the I am going to Queens to chill with Chris and Spyro. Sunday is Danielle's wedding, the maybe I'll see Gabi and Tommy. Monday, I am going to the city for the day, then meeting Sara for dinner as per my birthday card = ). Then finally... Tuesday I get to go back to TX to see my Stephie Wong...

Going back to TX isn't such a bad thing anymore. It's not all Stephanie... but she's got something to do with it. I was starting to get over being such a little bitch about life before we hooked up, but she kinda gave me the push that I needed.

Lastly... I got this piece in the Daily Om today... it's worth posting... free your mind!!

Unplugging The Noise
Taking A Media Break

In this modern age, we seldom question the pervasive presence of the media. Television, radio, newspapers, magazines, telephones, and websites are part of most people's everyday experiences. They enable us to stay informed while sometimes taking us on amazing journeys. But the content and experiences that these outlets offer also consume space in our minds that can have a profound effect on our emotional state. If you are someone who feels like your life is oversaturated with the "buzz" that comes from the media, you may want to consider taking a break. A media fast involves not watching television, reading any newspapers or magazines, checking or sending any e-mails, or even talking on the phone.

On the simplest level, undertaking this fast will free up thinking space. When you are constantly being bombarded with signals coming from outside sources, it can be hard to disassociate yourself, particularly if what you are hearing or reading is negative or stressful. Avoiding the media, for a few weeks, or even just a few days, can help you center yourself. The fast may even introduce you to creative aspects of yourself that you didn't know existed, as you enjoy some quiet time and reconnect with other interests. We may feel like something is lacking from our lives during the first few days of a fast. But it is this emptiness that opens up the space for a more expansive and clutter-free life.

Research has shown that both news and television programming can have an intense effect on mood, even causing sadness and anxiety. Without the "noise" of the media running through your head, you are freer to focus your attention inward. Ideas will present themselves to you more readily, and you will find yourself available to revel in the small joys of your own life. You also will be freer to live in the present moment, rather than focusing on what's going on in the news or your favorite soap opera. A media break can also help you develop a more conscious relationship with news and fictional entertainment. When you aren't continuously subjected to the media, you are able to look at what you are seeing or reading more objectively. Taking a break from the media may also give you a greater sense of calm, balance, well-being, and a new perspective on life.
