8月14日 Checking inWell, I thought I would give a post birthday post. I know it has been forever since I put anything up. I have just been working and playing golf since last time I wrote. Nothing really exciting has happened, gone drinking a few times but thats about it. Things at home are going ok. My brother is doing fine. The kitties are doing great. They enjoy destroying my carpet and play fighting each other. I did go to Albuquerque for my b-day to visit a friend. We golfed a lot this last weekend and had a poker tournament at his house. I didn't win but it was fun. So yeah, I'm 31 and nothing really exciting is happening. 4月24日 Still AliveI'm still very busy with work, so my Spaces time has become almost non-existent. Things are going pretty well. Mostly spend my time working. I have been golfing alot lately, I go to the reange to practice every weekend and play every thursday in my work's Golf league. I have gotten considerably better than last month. On my first outing with the league I broke one of my clubs and my bag so I decided to go get new equipment. So, almost $2K later, I have shiny new clubs and my game has improved. As a result of all the golf, I'm starting to get some color again. I spend a lot of time in the sun and it shows :)
This past weekend I went to the first pool party of the season. Friends were having a birthday party for their son's first b-day. It was a good time, lots of sun, lots of food, not as much drinking, since it was a kid's party but fun nonetheless. The community center in my neighborhood opened a couple of weeks ago and so I'll have regular access to the pool and hopefully the rest of me wont be all pale.
Back at home, the kitties are doing great, always getting into something and making a mess. My brother is going to be moving in to my place in a couple of days. Looking forward to it and also hoping its not like when we were kids and shared a room. I think we've grown up enough to not get annoyed at each other to the point we start fighting. 3月29日 Where does the time go?Its hard to believe I have been so busy at work lately it doesn't even give me time to stop by spaces anymore. Things have been pretty hectic but have been going well. This past weekend, a friend of mine came to town and we played some golf on saturday. I got really, really sunburnt. I kinda forgot that the sun is strong in these parts. My arms and legs are still slightly red. Don't ask about how well I did. I hadn't played in at least 2 years. I did get suckered into playing on the work golf league so I'll be playing once a week. Should be very interesting. This past weekend we did make it to the zoo on sunday, and it was a good time. Its been a while since I had gone to the Tucson zoo, its small but very well done with lots of stuff to see. The kitties are doing great and they're lots of fun to watch. In other news, I think my brother will be moving in with me so that should make it interesting. Hope everyone is doing great. 3月13日 Kitty updatesOnce again, a weekend went by with not much action. These days most of my free time is spent with the kitties. They are pretty funny when they wrestle around with each other. They try to find ways to ambush the other cat.
I find it pretty funny that they follow me around the house. If I go to the kitchen they have to g owith me. As well as following me up and down the stairs. It's as if I have ducklings :)
The part that still needs work is the nightime attacks of my feet. I don't think my feet have ever been so scratched as they are now. They go on full on attacks of my feet with intent to eat whatever is under the blanket, namely my feet. The raids have diminished, but they make up for it when they get me, as the length of the gashes has increased.
Last sunday when I was laying on the couch and one of them came up to sleep with me and I just lay there for an hour rubbing him, I realized i really missed lazing around the house with my cat. 3月5日 Recent happeningsThings have been pretty busy at work lately so most of my work day has been taken up by actual work. Aside from that, the biggest news is that I got a couple of kitties. They're about 6 months old and one is black and the other one is white with gray tabby. They're very cute and a lot of fun. I'll put up some pics when I take some good photos of them. Another event in the past couple of weeks, was that someone backed into me in the paking lot of the grocery store. It's not bad but its still a pain in the ass to get it all fixed up. 2月22日 Just another dayNothing much going on with me lately, just work and the gym. I haven't gone out to shoot with my new camera as much as I have wanted to, but now with the weather so nice I should be hitting up a few spots. I did my taxes during the weekend and I'm actually getting some money back. I'm shocked! I've had to pay for the last few years, but now that I pay a lot of interest on my house I guess I can get a little back from the govt.
I have been wanting to go back to Honduras for a while and I'm hopefully be able to in the next couple of months. I want to go before summer, and hopefully stay for a week and half. With me working from home so much and being really lazy during the weekends, I dont really feel like a need a vacation, so getting rid of all my vacation days is going to be pretty hard. I know some friends want to go to Vegas, so I should take some time for that. Hope fully I can also go there for a conference thats coming up in June :) 2月14日 Happy Flower, Candy, and Card DayOn this the most commercial of holidays, I hope everyone gets something sweet :)
I never really liked the whole Valentine's day thing. You have to buy candy or chocolate, a gift, a card, and go out to dinner or you don't love/care for the person youre with. The worst part of it is that everyone buys into it. It really gets crazy around this time, to the point where roses can cost hundreds of dollars and chocolatiers sell out, and all of the restaurants are booked. If you don't buy a gift, or even the "right" gift you will hear about it for a long time to come. It doesn't matter if you do things like buying flowers, or going for a nice dinner, or even buying a gift just because on random days. If you don't do something on the designated buying a "romantic" gift day, you are a horrible person. You can probably tell I have had bad experiences with this day, but not all of the above refer to me. Some of it has happened to guys I know. It probably happens to me because I find the day completely manufactured and superficial. It completely misses the point of love and it becomes merely a pandering to the love of things. So the moral of the story is, if you don't spend money on me you don't love me. I would like to leave you with one of my favorite lines from the greatest musicians ever, The Beatles.
"Can't buy me love!" 2月12日 Been a long time...I know its been a while since I posted, but I have been pretty busy and I was out of town last week. I was in New Orleans for a conference. I had a great time, and got things that dont usually happen to me. When I showed up at the Marriott, they were overbooked and so they upgraded me to the Ritz-Carlton a couple of blocks away. Yeah, it was awesome. It was a very luxurious hotel. Having champagne offered to you while waiting in registration. Having to use your key to go hang out in the Club Lounge where they have complimentary food, wine, and liquor. Also having a huge roman tub in the marble clad bathroom. All the complimentary toiletries were Bulgari. They had really high thread count sheets and the pillows and comforters were goose down and they had the most comfortable terrycloth robes. The whole room and bathroom were hooked up to the DVD player so you could listed to music all over the place. The very unfortumate part, is that why would you want to spend that much time at your hotel when you're in New orleans? And I didn't spend much time there :)
The hotel was in the French Quarter about two blocks away from Bourbon St. After all day sitting in session at the conference, we would spend alot of time on Bourbon. It was fun to walk up and down there going into different bars, getting drinks, and moving on to the next one. One thing I was surprised to find out, is that there were many strip clubs on Bourbon. I found it surprising because there are women flashing all over the place, why would you go and pay to see the same thing? One place I spent a lot of time at was the Bourbon Cowboy. They had a mechanical bull and lots of people wanting to try it out. Some girls would get on it topless, sometimes two at the same time. On the one occasion two girsl rode it topless together, and after they were done with that wrestled each other's pants off until they were just wearing their thongs. Needless to say, it attracted a lot of attention from the guys.
On a different night, we went to Pat O'brien's for some hurricanes, and let me tell you, that is some strong stuff. I ended up drinking two hurricanes and some other drinks and lets just say, I didn't have the greatest night ever. Another place with some really strong drinks was the Tropical Isle with their Hand grenades. Now that is one dangerous drink. It tastes like pineapple juice but has all kinds of alcohol in it. I was able to drink only one though.
Went to a couple of good places to eat too. The Acme Oyster Co. was really good. The chargrilled oysters were incredible. We also went to Cafe Beignet for some nice fresh beignets, not the healthiest food, but tasty.
After a week in New Orleans I was quite tired and it was nice to be back home.
1月22日 Let it Snow...Well, we got a little surprise yesterday here in Tucson. It snowed pretty heavily and just covered the city and there is still snow on the ground. I would never think that I would be playing in the snow out front of my house and even less that we would have a snowball fight with the neighbor's kids. Aside from that, the weekend was pretty uneventful. I did go out friday night and saturday night, so that was a big change from before. On friday I went out with a friend to just hangout and get out of the house. We went to have some dinner, had a few drinks, played pool, and a bar video game that ended up being extremely addictive. Saturday night I went to dinner with some friends and afterwards to a bar. Towards the end of the night, a girl approached me and she proceeded to tell me that she was from Puerto Rico and that she was an exchange student. I then proceeded to speak to her in spanish, and then she replied that she didn't understand what I was saying. I would like to know why anyone would make up something that they would not be able to back up. I mean if youre gonna make up a story, make one you can convincingly manage. 1月15日 Where does the time go?Yeah I know, I've been gone for a while. Nothing really exciting has been happening in my life lately. Work has actually been pretty busy which is pretty good cause the more we sell, the more money I make. In terms of actually doing something, I have not been going out. I have been trying to stay at home so I don't go out to eat or go drinking. I have alse been hitting the gym pretty hard and seeing some pretty good results. I did go out to the saguaro national park to test out my new camera and lens. It was nice to get out in the wild again and looking for some nice shots. It was pretty cold though. I'll try and do better in the future but unless I actually start doing stuff it'll probably be boring :) 1月2日 A New YearI hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve celebration. I didn't do anything too extravagant. I went with friends to dinner and then we went to one of the bars for some drinking until midnight. The questions that usually come up before ther new year are: What was the most memorable event of the year? What are your new year resolutions? Last year was pretty eventful for me. Lots of changes in my professional life, buying a house, losing my Chico cat, and of course turning thirty. In terms of resolutions, I cant say that I really have any that I'm not already working on. Probably the biggest thing this year will be focus on my personal life. Last year I got really involved in working so I didn't go out much or spend a lot of time with friends, and I wasnt really dating. I wanted to take some time off from it so I could figure things out, figure out what it is I really want and what it was about me that caused things to fail in the past. I think I'm getting close to that one, hope fully soon :) 12月18日 Vacation!Its nice to be on vacation. I can wake up whenever I like, hang around the house and do all of those things I have been meaning to do for the longest time. Although, there are all these loose ends at work that need tying up, like when you receive a call early on monday morning with the information you had requested last week. Thats a good way to start your vacation week. Hope everyone has a great week and a Merry Christmas. 12月11日 Its been a while.Yeah, I've been away for a while. I have been pretty busy with work and very tired. Not much has happened since. Thanks giving was fine, didn't really do much. I usually make dinner but this time i decided that I'd rather just veg instad of spending hours making turkey and stuff. Aside from that the only thing worth mentioning was my trip to DC last week for a class. I didn't have time to go around the city, but I had been there plenty of times before. I did drink and eat way too mcuh while I was there. The place where the class was being held had great food and they had lots of it. They also made it very readily available throughout the day. Also at night we would all gather and drink shortly after dinner and keep going until late at night. I think I put on 5 lbs or so last week. One of the bright spots was wednesday night, which happened to be lobster night and i ended up eating 2 of them and they also had a grand manier chocolate cake that was just unbelieveable. Aside from that my flight back was not to enjoyable, after several delays, I ended up arriving really late and completely exhausted. I think I slept for 12 hours afterwards.
So I'm back at work and looking forward to vacation next week.
11月13日 Back HomeI arrived back in Tucson on friday. I spent the weekend trying to sleep away the jetlag and get back on mountain time. My time in Atlanta went pretty well. The class I was in last week was a lot of work. It was a good class and I did learn alot. It did require long hours at night so I didnt get to do much exploring of the city. I liked Atlanta, but Im glad to be back. I did relapse into an old addiction this weekend. I hadn't bought a new watch in a couple of years, but I couldn't a big sale last night. I was able to control myself and only buy one :)
I am working from home today, and it so nice to be laying on my couch while working. I'll try and post some of the halloween pics tonight. I also booked my trip for my next class in D.C. during the first week of december. I hope its not too cold. 11月6日 Still in the ATLWell, I'm still in Atlanta and I'm taking another class. I had a good weekend. I met with my cousin and he took me around the city and we went to some really good restaurants. Downtown has a lot of really amazing buildings and the fall colors on the trees are incredible. It was also nice to spend time with family and get back into some latin culture. I've missed it a lot and hadn't realized until now. I might have to take some trips back to Honduras soon. 10月30日 On the other side of the countryI made it to Atlanta in one piece, so thats good. I hope its not too hard getting used to the time here. The trip went ok, except I didn't get to eat till I got here. The weekend went well. I did get to finish my costume in time, but I stayed up really late the night before to do it. I was draggin all day long. ok, I'll tell you what it is, I was a butterfly :) I'll put up some of the pics when I get home next week. 10月23日 Sooo TiredIt is monday again, and at least its a happy monday. I decided to take the rest of the week off so I could sleep and recharge my batteries. This weekend was ok. I did go out for a friend's b-day celebration and what I thought would be a couple of hours hanging out and having a couple of drinks turned out to be a very drunken night. I went to a little hotspot here in town and we had a table and had a few drinks. Some people left at the time I originally planned on leaving, but the conversation was pretty good and of course one drink turned into four, and leaving by 11 turned into 12:30 to head to another place cause this one closed at 1. Upon arrival at the new place we had a round of Irish carbombs. Home arrival time, 2:30 AM. Alcohol consumed, 6 Stoli & Tonics, and 1 Irish Carbomb. Needless to say, I was pretty wasted. Woke up at 10 AM, still drunk. The rest of sunday was pretty rough, but A nice meal and lots of tea made it much better.
I'm leaving for Atlanta on monday, and I will be there for 2 weeks straight. I've never been there but I hear good things about the place, and my cousin lives there. It should be a good time. The 3 hour time difference will be tough to be at work/class at 8 AM, which would be 5 AM my time. That's why I need to rest before I head over.
I will spend the rest of the week working on my costume. I had an idea but had to scrap it because it wasnt coming together correctly. Sometimes geometry is a beyotch. I think I'll have to keep K-fed as a back-up idea in case I cant get this new concept to work. 10月16日 In class again.At least I did accomplish one thing this weekend. I got some sleep. Aside from that, nothing noteworthy happened. I will be in class for the rest of the week so I'll try to enjoy it as much as possible. I have not come up with any ideas for my halloween costume, but Lola has a really good suggestion. I would have to practice my smug look before I could pull off a K-fed though. 10月9日 In the officeI really need to sleep more during the weekend. I'm in my office today so thats good, but my phone isn't back on yet. I dont have any Conf. calls today so thats ok. It gives me a chance to get out of the house and see some people. I didn't do much exciting stuff during the weekend, but I did go to a hookah lounge and had some orange strawberry tobacco, and it was very nice. It inspired me to fire up the hoohak my mom had sent me from Saudi Arabia a couple of years back. It had just been sitting in a corner gathering dust. I had some double apple tobacco, which was really nice, and after a little bit of a learning curve got a nice smoke out of it.
I still need to figure out what I will be doing for a halloween costume this year. Time is running short and I have no idea what to do. If you have any suggestions I would appreciate it. 10月6日 Not as much funContrary to popular belief, working from home is not that much fun. Especially when you're on conference calls 5 or 6 hours a day. At least I get a break for a few days. Hope everyone has a great weekend. |
