A quick update, since I have an hour before I get busy again. Ok...lets see, first off...finally engaged as those who are close to me here know. I'll be going back to jiu jitsu training under Pedro Vianna and Migule Torres. I've never trained with Miguel so I hope that the experience is a good one. I hope to shed at least 20 pounds since I am at my ( Read more... )

Well, I used a vacation day yesterday hoping that I could get my car deal squared away. Unfortunately things went downhill. First off, the salesman still hadn't begun looking for my vehicle! Another problem was that he insisted I choose another color. The worst part was he was caught in a lie. I asked him to negotiate another deal with the manager ( Read more... )

Well, as I suspected. The dealership is having trouble locating my vehicle. It seems that the color of choice is the problem. How come things never work out without a headache? I am guessing that I wont have this car till Saturday! Mark these fucking words! Even then there will be some bullshit gone wrong ( Read more... )

Had an interesting weekend so far. Friday I went down to the police station to clarify my court date for the coming month. Apparently the other officers had a problem reading office Flores' "writing" as well. Anyhow, I'll appear before the judge on Feb. 22. One of the officers at the station freely admited that the ticket was bogus and that the ( Read more... )

Ok, so its been a while...longer then my usual 2 or 3 months between posts. So much shit has gone down. Lets see 1.) I stopped training in jiu jitsu. 2.) the band broke up. 3.) my car was stolen. 4.) My car was recovered. 5.) Insurance refuses to pay for any damages 6.) I dished out over 5 grand out of my pocket. 7.) My car still needs work done on ( Read more... )

Well, finally after a long, hard week of work I get to sit back and relax...for a few hours! Lily call me this week to schedule a "last minute gig" for tonight. She seems pretty interested in the band. We have a few dates lined up at her bar, one being a headliner. Depending on the crowd we draw on July 8th, we could become regulars. Talked to my ( Read more... )

Well, I guess I broke my promise of updating this every Friday. I had a great excuse though. My day/night started off when I got home at 2 am and my lovely partner in crime was there to watch an incredibly lame movie about prison football staring Adam Sandler. When I finally got to bed it was 4am. The band had a photo shoot a 10am in the beautiful ( Read more... )

Wow, this will be my first post of 2005! I like to think of myself as a busy guy but this is ridiculous. There has been a ton of shit that has gone on but I gues I'll give some major updates. First, NO SCHOOL for the summer. Although I really need to wrap things up, I've decided to take the summer off. Second of all...after a year in the making we ( Read more... )

A drink is order. I am in a celebratory mood since being nominated and winning the 2004 Tumbler Award! Oh...and its Christmas Day, by the way. Make that 2 beers and a shot of single malt whiskey! I've been keeping a low profile this holiday season. I spent some time with Lisa yesterday. She is really doing her best to turn it around since the ( Read more... )

After more than years worth of bullshitting, Common Poverty (Rob, Pete and yours truely) have decided on 11 tracks for our up-coming Cd. Aside from being friends with Pete for nearly my entire life (I've known him since I was 5), we've been playing in bands for 10 years. I've known Robert for 8 years and was in his band for about 5 years. I was 22 ( Read more... )
