I have finally found the courage and motivation to take up writing again. I see this posting of my innermost thoughts as a cathartic way of dealing with the world, a release valve for when I want to blow off steam, a space for my socio-political rantings against Republicans and also, for those that know OF me to actually get to know me. Thoughts, comments and suggestions are always welcome ... lets do this!

I'm Back... Least for now

Bless me Blog for I have sinned. Its been eight months since my last blog entry! So much has happened since New Year's. Reading my last entry, I find that I have accomplished one of my goals and have made significant progress on the other two.
So much has happened since January:


-Finished my basement and currently
renting to a good friend

-Remodeled my kitchen (fiercely I might add)
-Got into a serious relationship with my first (full) Puerto Rican

-Finally reached a peaceful place concerning my ex, the motivation for this
blog in the first place

-Had memorable trips to Puerto Rico, Miami (2x) and Chicago with my Juana,
Miguel. I got into a little bit of trouble on that last trip to Chicago. More on
that in a later entry called "Why People Like Playing The Victim".

-Come to the decision to get braces. Thats happening today. My orthodontist
is installing the brackets and I'll be getting oral surgery next week to remove
my baby teeth and expose the adult ones so they can be moved into position.
Needless to say I'm scared not just cause I hate the dentist but because
between braces and my kitchen, I'm going to be dead ass broke!

I have also grown anxious as the mid-term elections come around. Are the
Democrats going to win back the House? the Senate? Or we will we continue
sliding into morbid decay as the right wing religious nut jobs tighten their
grip on the government all in the name of God, money and oil? Sounds dramtic,
but if you aren't pissed off, you simply have not been paying attention. In any
case, my next car is going to be a hybrid with an extra battery. I WILL be doing
my part.

I have tons of pics to share and hopefully I will get the chance to
post them soon.
