Tales of Nothing

So, i'm home & bored. And also not feeling all that great so I decided to find interesting things that happened on this day in History. And i found quite a few and figured I should share with all [5] of you who read this blog.


1431 Joan of Arc, condemned as a heretic, was burned at the stake in Rouen, France.

1982 Cal Ripken Jr. of the Baltimore Orioles played in the first of a record 2,632 consecutive major league baseball games.

1997 Child molester Jesse K. Timmendequas was convicted in Trenton, N.J., of raping and strangling a 7-year-old neighbor, Megan Kanka - a case that inspired "Megan's Law," which requires that communities be notified when sex offenders move in.

2002 A solemn, wordless ceremony marked the end of the cleanup at Ground Zero in New York, 8 1/2 months after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

2005 American teenager Natalee Holloway disappeared on a trip to Aruba. (The case remains unsolved.)

2006 A jury in Rockville, Md., convicted John Allen Muhammad of six of the Washington-area sniper killings.


There are more events, obviously, but these are the ones I felt were the most intersting. Soon after i found these i got very distracted and started doing other nothings.
Enjoy, i guess.

First of Many

Happy 1st Birthday to my niece: Kaylie =]

Celebrating this saturday at a bbq at my cousin's house. She's getting sooo big. I remember when she was still unrecognizable and swollen right after my cousin gave birth to her. And now she has her days where I still don't know who she looks more like - mother or father.

Anyway, it's her first birthday today !!! The first of oh,so many ! =]

*Happy Birthday to Mr. John F. Kennedy, too*

Sonnet XVII

I don't love you as if you were the salt-rose, topaz
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
I love you as certain dark things are loved,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that doesn't bloom and carries
hidden within itself the light of those flowers,
and thanks to your love, darkly in my body
lives the dense fragrance that rises from the earth.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way because I don't know any other way of loving

but this, in which there is no I or you,
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close.

"NOT FUNNY !!!" LMAO. good times.

Been Busy

Oh, sweet blog how i've missed you so.
It's going to be hard to maintain any type of writing consistency over this summer because i do have a lot planned but i guarantee i'm going to try my absolute hardest to write in you. Much has happened. Actually..not much has happened. Just been going to beaches and bbqs and drinking. There's been a lot of drinking. But, in moderation of course.

Today is Memorial Day: so ..happy Memorial day to all the ...memorials? No, that's not it. Ah! To all the Veterans, there we go. Your work is much appreciated and i wish you well.

I thought i'd post a picture of myself incase you -blog- have forgotten what i look like. Which i know you have not considering i've been so good to you and your love for me is eternal. But, i just need some reassurance sometimes. Anyway....umm...let's see.I gotta get ready for my cousin's bbq [can't wait!] um..also, i'm a little sicky =[ they sent me home from work today because i have a fever. and i know this might be a little too deep into my life but it feels like its 180 million degrees in my body and in my house so i am going commando as i type this blog. Don't judge me.

What have i done since i last wrote in here: I went to Bahama Breeze. A sister restaurant of RL's and the appetizer was banginnnnnnnnnnn! My main dish was good, i got the Paella. not as good as from Sabor tho. but still, it was tasty. Not like that nasty fish my friend got. YUCKKKKK. sweet potatoes were nice, drinks were kind of weak.

Dessert was pretty fun, too.
=]

So Long

..i haven't blogged in many many days. Or maybe just 2 days..who knows.

And so I'm home now with jenny ri, sbf, ramoo, mateo, joaquin, martin, and raul .. Talking maddddd shit and doin a whole lot of nothing

Frances Obama

[Is this the ONLY picture i have of us, Frances ?! Because that might be a problem]

*This entry will be addressed directly to Miss Prez Franso Aslin Miguelina Josefa DeJesus Guadalajara Perez Rodriguez* Just Kidding thats not really her long name. Anyway


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, FRANCES ASLIN !!

I can't wait until we're both 21 and make fools of ourselves. You're probably saying to yourself right now "umm..i don't drink that OD and i wont be making a fool of my self" which is cool because i'll hold down the foolery for the both of us.. [how funny is it that we ACTUALLY used the word foolery twice in two days?! ..i know!]

Anyway ..Enjoy your birthday! you've made it 21 longgg years and before you know it you'll be 30. with a house. and kids. and a career. and a room over the garage for me incase i decide to live on the edge. with Sonero. i mean, .. juanah??!

Love youuuuuu =]

JFKennedy

This is ME =] at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston, MA that i went to in January of this year and it was sooo muchhh funnnn ! They're opening some new exhibits in the next coming months and i want to go again and re-experience the Kennedy saga. It's ridiculously cheap, if i can recall its about 10 dollars for students and senior citizens, 12 for adults, children under 12 are FREE and it's just an educationally fun time for everyone. And of course, i am in my glory whenever JFK's existance is even mentioned let alone parade artifacts about him in front of me. I'll probably consider heading back up to Boston around August..i spent maybe about $200 bucks when i was there, and the Greyhound bus ride was only $30. add on the "Boston for Dummies" book i bought and i spent around $250 bucks for a time i'll never forget. While I'm there i'm gonna visit NorthEastern University and browse the area for places where i'll be living when i attend law school there. (Yup, I'm going there-NO question. i WILL go)

Peep the rest of my Boston Pictures on my fbook :]


Also, can someone help me put up a picture that I have of JFK & Jackie in my room. I have no handy-man skills and refuse to waste my time trying to become one. Thanksss =]




(This picture was taken just a few seconds before the chaos in Dallas, moments before President Kennedy's assasination)

Birthdays

Happy Birthday to my Mom =]

She's in DR but, she'll be back Wednesday. I'm considering taking her to Sabor; she's been mentioning that place for a while and the food is amazing so i'm pretty sure i'm gona do that.

Also, Happy Birthday to my cousin Taylor =]

Rock With You

*May 16th*
Happy Birthday to Janettttttt !!!!!




Miss Jackson if you're nasty =]
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HER!

Mother, May i ?

I'd like to cordially introduce you to Mr. Justin Bobby
This dude is such a prick, i loveeee itttt ! Is that wrong? Is it wrong that I don't care that its wrong? Because i don't. He's hottttt. And SO not my type -- not that I have a type or anything because sometimes I even surprise myself -- but, still.. i dont usually like the white man and him? I like. =]

Justin Bobby is the dirtbag on the Hills who has Audrina sprung like madd. He used to have long, shaggy hair and look like such a Hobo but he still had a spot in my hearat. and then he cut it. Mmm,Mmm,Mmm .. loving him, lol.

He treats Audrina like crap. and she still loves him. He puts her through hell and is such a sleeze ball. and she still loves him. and normally i'd say this girl is a fuckin' moron but, you know what? Her situation sounds wayy too familiar and close to home but, this isn't even about that. This is about sexy Justin Bobby.

Success Hotline

http://gilbertsuccesshotline.blogspot.com/

Check out this blog from one of my former professors, Dr. Rob Gilbert. I took him 2 spring's ago and loved, loved, loved his Social Problems in Sports class and honestly you couldn't find a better teacher with amazing abilities to enlighten your day in the most powerful of ways.

I remebered he would tell the class about his blog and I would go on it frequently and check out his new messages. He [usually] posts everyday and even has a telephone hotline to hear his encouraging words. Although he does have his flaws, (he's a RedSox fan--yuck!) he's honestly one of the best professors and friends you could have. and he writes a MEAN letter of recommendation, according to my friend.

His class stories are the shittttt, he does the illest of magic tricks, and shows the most moving and inspirational short movies in class. And he's an overall cool guy to be around and have lecture you about how it took him yearssss to graduate from UMass (which i visited while in Boston) and how he graduated with a 1.62 GPA (yeah, 1.62--OD) sounds impossible now but, he went through his hardships and now he has a Ph.D. so ...he's chillen.

Here's a little exerpt of what you'd find on his blog:

MESSAGE #761: ADVICE FROM MARK TWAIN

“Keep away
from people
who try to
belittle
your ambitions.
Small people
always do that,
but the really great people
make you feel
that you, too,
can be great.”

Shouts to Dr. G

WTF Moment

Honestly, this ignorant Miss California sets a bad example of how Prop 8 has taken over one of the most liberal states in this country. And Keith Olbermann, who i absolutely LOVEEEE, definitely makes his mark when he says that Miss Carrie Prejean is the biggest hypocrit and over dramatic woman in the world. It seems ridiculous that she's making all of these excuses about God and Satan as being to blame for her implants, nude photos, and missing meetings which she should be stripped of her crown for.

It's true what Olbermann says, it's not as if she just voiced her opinion out of no where --she was asked, by Perez Hilton, an openly gay man who posed this question with some bias but still .. it was the blasphemy behind her answer and the way she lives the rest of her life that is drawing all this hoopla around her.

Her contract to be Miss California clearly states that any nude-photos, semi-nude photos or anything of the like will immediately cause the beauty contestant to be stripped of her crown, and Donald Trump, who loses sleep for NO one and is supposedly a cold-hearted man, decided she would keep her crown. That's some bullshit. This country is going no where but down if people with such close-minded views continue to be glamorized in the media.

"Donald Trump who never compromised a dollar for the sake of a principle" --cold hearted man, indeed

Besides this lunacy that's been going on, and all the hype its recieving when there are more important things to be speaking about..someone needs to teach Miss California about her public speaking skills because they leave a lot to be desired and quite frankly, i can't take it anymore. Did she even proofread her speech? And how will anyone take you seriously when you don't speak with conviction. Standing up there crying like a little schoolgirl. . . Some bullshit, i say.

but, i do love me some Keith Olbermann. He definitely gave the best coverage during the election this past year and his take on American views and ideas are always very rational and realistic. Much respect for this man.

Such a Baby

Or a "babyyyyyyyy" - in peculiar voice ..lmfao

i literally laughed out loud on that one, and patted myself on the back. Touche.

Anyway.here's the new and improved list.
i love allllll my lobsters ! Yup, all of ya. Because you all know the bullshit we put up with day in and day out. Along with the BS our mangers feed us. And i know misery loves company so we might as well hate that place together. All 50million of us servers.

the people that i love: part trois (is that right? i got a B in french and I'm pretty sure i cheated, ah well):

No more list: just in paragraph form: I'm only listing ppl who might bitch at me when/if they read this. i do love yall tho:

sbf, jennyri, jp, franso, betty, michy, squerlie, robb, alvy, dom, mateo, weezy, 'moo

Love ALL of youuuuu's
:)

thepeoplethatiLove: partdeux

Apparently, my last list drew much speculation because i didn't add THE MAJORITY of the people who i care so deeply for. That list was just concerning the people in my immediate presence aka Ronda the Honda, Weezy, JennyRi. But, i can see where people are hurt..or disapointed..i mean, my love IS something that no one should go without-i agree. [lol jk, not really]

So for all of you not mentioned, this one's for you ..



1. Everyone who i did not mention



Thank You for your time :]

Bloggers-Block

I'm bored out of my mind and I sooo want to blog but, i have shit to say. Literally: shit. So i'm thinking about what to write about and what has recently happened to me and holidays and amazing treats and friends and vacations but ..NOPE, i think i pretty much wrote about that already and aint shit in my life happening that i haven't already mentioned but this is a place where i relinquish all my center-for-higher-education-language and can just say whatever i want so i decided to blog. about. blogging.

Oh, that's right.
Blog about blogging.
Because this is MY blog
and i do what i want

So this isn't the first time i've had bloggers-block. Last week, i wanted to blog too and couldn't find anything to say or write about and i just waited until something came up. But, today i said to myself -FUCK THAT, im blogging! Hence, the reason i am rambling on about ...rambling on. It's what i'm good at. Among other things, of course. Anway back to this blog about nothingness. Isn't it great? To just talk right out of your ass and say nothing of any importance. I'm actually starting to feel much better by just venting about nadaaaa.

Ok, this has gone on far too long. Hopefully something clever comes to mind and i have some cool videos or pictures to post for ya. Or a nice poem to write, or re-write cuz i was looking for my poetry and i have no idea where i stored that shit. and not for nothing, but my poetry is madd gully :] Seriously.

You'll see when you read it
If you read it
Or whatever ..

This was pointless but i'm publishing it anyways.
Dont judge me or ..nevermind.

Plans

When things go according to plan, it makes it that much easier for everyone. If someone says, "be here by *insert timeframe here*" and everyone arrives at or before that time ..then its smooth sailing, everybody wins, and everybodys happy.

One of my greatest pet peeves is when plans don't go the way they should. It slows everyone down and messes up the system.which later puts ppl in bad moods and i hate grumpy people.even myself. Yup, i hate myself when i get in bad, grumpy, moods..its just unpleasant for everyone

Those are the plans I'm talking about in this case ..even tho I definitely remember making some sort of plans with certain people and that still being up in the air ..

Whatever, I'm still down.

Point is, when plans go array-nothingggg gets done! Stick to the plan and nobody gets hurt.

the people that i love

In no particular order

1. Jenny Ri
2. Anwar H
3. Me, myself, and i
4. Ronda the Honda
5.
6.
7.
8.

And that concludes my list.

Goodday.

i hate Mr.LM

Hands Down

There are certain things about the opposite sex that I find so incredibly sexy that it makes me become that much more intrigued. Of course the usual things, shoulders - arms - back ..Oh boy, yeah. THOSE.

(thinks about the God she saw on campus and probably will never see again *tear*)

But, after a good amount of thought. And i do mean GOOD amount of thought, I probably have been thinking about this for like 3 weeks, I've come to the conclusion that i loveeee a man with "Man-ly Hands" .

Okay, let me explain.

Have you ever seen a man with hands so masculine
you just want to hold and analyze them forever
A pair of palms so inviting to hold you
A set of hands whose fingers you interlock with and feel protected
Those same fingers that'll get caught up within the curls of your hair
slowly putting you to sleep
only to wake up and find those same sexy hands around your waist
The same hands that can lift anything
including you, during times of passion
And still lay you down. ever-so gently with Never-so gently intentions
Caressingly-nurturing hands
Hands that wave at you through crowded rooms
and lure you into a realm of comfort
and hands that point you in the direction of their hearts.
Where even the occasional hand-shake
can mean more than just "Hello"

I'm Not Crazy

Okay so plain and simple: don't think im crazy. Seriously, i was at Barnes and Noble trying to find a cause for my boredom and i ended up masking my boredom completely. And I came across these Kama Sutra books and said to myself, "Fuck It, let's take a look."

And well dayum.
Now maybe i'm crazy but this one had me with a puzzled look on my face. and still as i look at it now I can feel my face tensing up to a look of confusion. I just don't get it. Seems hella awkward. Oh well, decide for yourselves:



but besides this I did manage to pick up some good reading material. Some memoirs on the Kennedy family, a book on how to prepare for the LSATs and another copy of "I Hope they Serve Beer In Hell" since i lost the first one and neeeeeed this hilarious book in my life.

and so AGAIN, before i leave you with these tidbits there are just some tips on what NOT to do:
1. don't judge me
2. don't pull my hair

LMAO jkkkkkkk on that second one. but yeah, don't judge me and i won't judge you (in public) =]

DUMBinican

Is this just "Manny being Manny" ?
I'm tired of people making excuses for this man. Like 3 years ago, when he was playing left field for the RedSox and tried to cut off the ball from the center-fiedler when he had NO business cutting it off. It goes Centerfielder-shortstop/secondbasemen-etc. No where in that equation are other outfielders supposed to jump in the way. and if you look at the youtube clip, he literally JUMPS in the way. Like, wtf are you doing? How he didn't show up to practices and team meetings up in Boston because he's "Manny" and his catastrophically large salary means he can do whatver he wants.

Yeeeeaaaaaah, okay.
Steinbrenner would've booted his ass years ago. Yeah he's a big game hitter, and one has one hell of a swing but his character is in shambles. I understand you're not paying for character but team chemistry has a lot to do with it. Hence, why the Sox were dying to get rid of him and why no other team in baseball would take him.

Now this steroid scandal. I'm not gonna lie i'm a bit remorseful in this case just because Arod is going/went through the same things and unfortunately, it's a lot to deal with. Manny claims he didn't know, it was medically prescribed to him, yaddayadda heard it all before. But, honestly the only reason i defended Arod is because he wears my beloved uniform and i'd never turn my back on a Yankee-EVER. but maybe the only reason i'm going so hard on this MannySteroid thing is because he used to be a RedSock not too long ago and im pretty sure he was using then. And you know us Yankee fans, anythinggggggg to harass the Bostonians and we'll jump on it as soon as it rolls by.

Also why Im being a tad sympathetic is because he plays for Torre. My beloved, old, serene, used-to-hold-Jeter's-bat-during-every-game, pigeon-toed-walking-to-the-pitchers-mound, bald-except-for-some-flurries Torre. And he don't need/deserve this kind of hoopla. Not now anyway..he been through all that with the Yankees and im pretty sure he took the L.A. job to get away from all that jazz. and of course Manny follows him..Some bullshit,lol.

And so, to Manny Ramirez--because your suspension ends on my birthday [july3,for those who dont know] i say these three kind words to you:

FuckYourLife.

Careless

If i said i didn't care, I'd be lying because its obvious i care TOO much.

And i have my moments where i put up a front and act as if it doesn't phaze me or as if i don't even notice but, i do. And it suckssss. This is mainly because my pride is blinding that i refuse to have anyone knock it down. And when someone gets even remotely close to my knocking my pride, i get defensive and tense up. And i guess i get advice on how NOT to be the way i am but, .. i don't really know how to put that to use.

i guess what I'm tryng to say here -i know I'm sounding a bit vague- is that I'm a very possessive person. What's mine is mine until i say otherwise .. And when that is being threatened, you'll be able to notice my mood change. But that's all it'll be, a mood change because i front like it doesn't bother me when really, all i wanna say is exactly how i feel. But i don't know how to do that, and i really need to learn how.

I'm not really good at saying how i feel, or asking for what i want. Because i feel its assumed and even though things should be real clear-cut, i don't see myself ever being that blunt. Why this is bothering me today, i don't really know.. But i didn't have a good cinco de mayo, last night was very traumatic for me and the night just didn't seem to end, and when I'm unhappy my mind wanders and i digg myself deeper into negative thoughts.

Truth is I'm farrrrr from careless. I'm also starting to re-think if its that i care too much. i think its just that i don't know how to care to begin with.

Does that make sense to you? Because it doesn't to me. And i think that's the point =/

Embarrassing

I'd rather die.
Than experience this embarrasingly embarrassing moment.

Seriously, FML

Goodnight

On strike

That's maddddd funny how homeboy thinks shit is mad sweet. How you can call me, asking me to do you a favor and lie for you and to you, and then roll up like nothing-has-happened.

*oh really??*
And of course you're thinking you can reel (sp?) me back in by being so ridiculously kind, its disgusting. Cute. Sometimes, too cute ..but disgusting. And your generosity is out of this world when you feel you aren't getting the "attention" you crave. But that's cool becuz i can be a bitch and just take,take,take .. Or i can nip it in the bud (again!) and (try) to send you on your merry way. And as hard as that would be, and as difficult as it sounds.. Aren't you tired?!
Cause i sure as hell am
It might not seem it as first and i agree, i sometimes enjoy the tomandjerry game we got goin but .. Ya!

Steps to make a disasterous mess - aka "this"

1. Gather your two confused individuals
2. After having them cool in different locations together for a lengthy period of time, seperate individuals
3.Pre-heat discussion to about 425degrees
4.Gather a large enough bowl and add 2 cups of yearning. 1tablespoon of lust and 1teaspoon of wishful thinking.
5. Add two confused individuals and stir
6. Let sit for about 2weeks
7. Insert in overheated oven
8. At this point you will have forgotten about your mixture and it will burn
9. TRUST me : it will burn
10. After attempting to cool, one individual will miraculously resurrect
11. Add icing to cool off and wait to bake this mess all over again in 4-6weeks

*sigh*

Last Episode

Last day of classes today! No more 830's in a few hours and no more going to classes period in about, oh .. 16 hrs. And so the clock is beginning to tick. I'm gonna have a good week and change to study for my 3finals. 2 of my classes arent issuing finals, which is a good thing.

This summer is gonna be so fuckin' bananas i can't even contain myself. Let's hope i'm not setting myself up for disaster and ruining it before it even starts. Nah, i doubt it bcuz the big Man upstairs owes me big time for playin' me out last summer. Had me on bed rest for a good 3 weeks because of bad back pains that had me hospitalized, I missed out on some birthdays, summer homes, and even almost missed out on my OWN birthday. Some bullshit ...

So as I'm sitting in my room, right before i hit the sack and nonchalantly wait my usual 4am phone call from theBatman, I have decided to treat myself to a nice, hott (yuck) shot of Patron (you already know I have a bottle as decoration and one as an after dinner snack)..to toast to a wonderful and long semester and to good grades, good finals, and good luck. Because i know that i'm gonna need it for Stats class.

Cheers!

Dos Meses

TWO MONTHS 'TiL THE BIG 21
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah !!


That is all.
Good day :]

Levels of Life

So i was thinking (when i should be doing Homeworkk!) and i don't think i've ever been happy. Is that a wild thing to say? I mean, i've had fun ..and i've been satisfied (Lol), at times even content but, i don't think i've ever been trully happy in ALL aspects of my life and im curious to know what that's like.

Anyone wanna tell me? I heard it's great. Magical, even.
I'm so jealoussssssssss . Lol

But, seriously.. i can't wait to get "there". Where that is, exactly, i'm unsure but i think its one of those you'll-know-when-you-get-there type things. and i feel i've had happiness replicas but not happiness in its full form. I've had bullshit disguised as happiness but i always see right through it. Maybe I've encountered happiness and have shunned it away. Damn, that would suck. I hope I haven't done that.

Fact of the Day

DID YOU KNOW:

Mosquito repellant doesn't repel mosquitos. It hides you. The spray temporarily blocks the mosquitos sensors so they don't know your there, since they find their pray based on scent. So use it wisely and evenly when in those tropical, swamp, meadowland, insect-infested areas.

=]

Back to the Future

For these next weeks i need to get it together and wrap up these finals with a bang ! i"m doing amazing in all my classes (minus-Stats: Damn you!) So I'm pretty sure the end result will be A-A-A-A-C+/B- ... And you don't even wanna begin to discuss how much that shit is gonna bother me but, I've never wanted a semester to end sooooo badly in my life so I'm just gonna take what i get. Plus, i OD tried in stats i just wasn't grasping the material

Anywayyyy .. Besides just focusing on THIS semester, i need to get it together for future semesters and what's to come after graduation. it looks like I'm gonna be graduating on time ..a year frm now ..but i need to start studying for my LSATs/looking into Law schools/ getting my shit togetherrrr .. i can't just think of NOW - my NOW will eventually lead me into tomorrow and i want to, need to be ready for it.

I'm tryna get this money! Lol
Have a good one folks!

Brand New

This new month will hopefully be MUCH better than the last. I'm not gonna front April was good to me. Some highs and some very highs..followed by one low moment that i kind of don't want to remember. But, the weather was starting to blossom and i was getting in saucy moods (no comment) i started hitting up new adventures with my partner in crime! Celebrated birthdays and bahtmitzvah's ...okay maybe not the latter but, there were definitely birthdays and shit loads of liquor.

But May brings this semester to a close and I couldn't be happier about that.
There's Cinco De Mayo that will be spent at a Yankee game. YEAAAA! with my smooth friend Weezy. There'll be Mightyfranso.blogspot.com's birthdy--the big 21. There will be .....um, lets see...there will be ...Oh! Mother's day--the money spot. and my Mom's<3 birthday on the 17th.

and i wanna say that's about it.
I love you, May! don't let me down!

May

Welcome :]
