Its My Birthday and I will Blog if I want to.

Gosh, that was a queer title but who gives a shit. Its all gravy right? I am going to Key West the Whole weekend, its gonna be warm after the numbing weather we have been experiencing here in south florida. I know that anyone up north will laugh if they ever read this but shit, we are used to having a cold front for a weekend at most, its been almost two and a half weeks of constant cold!

Its warming now and the southern most point in the US is the prime spot to be at this weekend.

Hooray Me and who ever is blessed to go with me.

I will be thanking life and blessing my brothers and sisters in Hati.

Blessings for all.

Crazy Whirlwind of a Year

2009, what a year it was huh?


It was the fastest a year has passed since I have been alive but thats been the case for all years after I turned 21.


It was a year riddled with concerts. Most notably and in no particular order I went to see;
  • Pearl Jam
  • Dave Mathews
  • Incubus
  • 311
  • State Radio
  • Kings of Leon
  • Third Eye Blind
  • Journey
  • Heart
  • Jane's Addiction
  • Nine Ninch Nails
  • Cold Play
I think thats it but I might be wrong, which brings me to my next point. Show up early for the opening act cause they might just make it big and you could be missing out on a great performance. i.e. Kings of Leon.

Lets just say that concerts are one of my new favorite things to attend. Why, you ask?

Simply becuase everyone is gathered there for one reason, to have fun and enjoy music with other music fans. Its a great atmosphere to hang with old friends or meet and greet new friends.

2009 was also a lazy year for me. I was not working for a good 8 1/2 months! Its not what you think thought. I dedicated it to school and really enjoyed not being part of the work force.

Dec 2009 brought that work drought to an end with a Job in Info Tech at UM Health Systems Medical IT Department.

Jobs not half bad exceept for when the crazies, a.k.a. stuck up doctors and nurses flip on you for no particular reason.

2009 Growing Pains:

Even though I am aproching my 28th birthday of which I am still in disbelief, but I digress.
Yes, I am still going through growing pains.

  • Learning to deal with my siblings and close friends relationships: Its a bit frustrating because people tend to indulge themselves in thier new relationships and get infatuated with thier new significant others. I have never subscribed to that train of thought. I feel there needs to be some sort of balance and you need to hang out with your friends atleast once every one to two weeks. More than that and you get to know that old addage. "Out of sight, out of mind."
  • Learning to taper my expectations of others: I consider myself to be an Idealist and Idealist tend to end up as synics becuase thier expectations of the world and the people around them are never met exactly as they are expected to be.
  • Learning new alternatives on how to comunicate my thoughts: Most of the conflicts I have with other people stem from my inability to translate the thoughts in my head into cohernt words. Therefore I spend most of the time explaining how what I said to them was misunderstood and getting frustrated, annoyed and all the crud that comes with those feelings.
  • Learning how to guage my own strength, both physically, mentally and emotionally: A wise friend once told me that I dont know my own strenght, and by strenght she meant the impact I have on the lives of the people around me.
  • Learning how to use my power of will and intention Tebow style in order to acheive my aspirations:
  • Learning to let go of the past and future and just be in the present:
