Sooo classes are over for this semester.  It feels good to have that stupid urban ed class overwith.  It seriously has driven me crazy all semester.  This weekend I worked quite a bit and so today, since Dan and I both have the night off, are going to chill out and watch a movie --- V For Vendetta --- since he's never seen it.  Last time I picked the movie, which was Hedwig, Dan wasn't too pleased.  I think he'll like this one though.  I liked it enough to buy it, even though some may argue it wasn't a good movie.  I like the action and dialogue.  It's sweet.  

I leave for Taxco in 24 days!  I'm getting really excited.  I remember when I found out I was going, the count was in the 60s...It's getting really close now!  I have a lot of preparation ahead of me as far as buying some new clothes, packing, buying a lot of Febreez, apparently...hahahaha.  This will certainly be interesting...I'm totally stoked.  Me and Hallie are more than likely going to go insane.  We'll probably make a trip or two to Acapulco and possibly Cuernavaca.  I really want to go to Cuernavaca.  From what Edgar tells me, it's absolutely beautiful; And if I remember correctly, I believe it is his favorite part of Mexico, currently.  

Welp, time for Vendetta with Danny.  :-)  Take care! :-)

Puede ser algo mágico, enigmático, fuera de control,
Rutinario y colérico, algo histérico, grande como el sol.
Puede ser algo tímido, problemático, lleno de pasión,
Temerario y fantástico, algo único, como nuestro amor.

Para llenar mi corazón es suficiente con tu voz,
Todo lo que hay en tu interior, yo lo quiero.

Todo lo que me das, me hace amarte más
Me acerca un poco a ti, cada segundo.
Dormir o despertar, reír o llorar
Me acerca más a ti, amo tu mundo.

Puedo ser un lunático, un romántico, terco sin razón.
Puedo ser un fanático, pero acéptalo, sientes como yo.

Para llenar mi corazón…

Todo lo que me das…

"Ya know?  It's funny.  Of all the people in here, the only person I see is you."

no creo lo que me digas ahora
hablas asi porque te duele
creen tus ojos alguna vez cuando nos mirabamos
pero lo dejemos pasar
perdimos la oportunidad

more or less.

disappointed that people take advantage of others like they do.  i wish no one would do the things i would never do.  that's all really.

now i'm out 30 bucks and i've got an errand.  thanks a lot, you bastard.

Tonight's gonna be on! ;-)

someone agrees?

Leave The Pieces


You're not sure that you love me
But you're not sure enough to let me go
Baby it ain't fair you know
To just keep me hangin' 'round

You say you don't wanna hurt me
Don't want to see my tears
So why are you still standing here
Just watching me drown

[Chorus]
And it's alright, yeah I'll be fine
Don't worry 'bout this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road
There's nothing you can do or say
You're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go

You can drag out the heartache
Baby you can make it quick
Really get it over with
And just let me move on

Don't concern yourself
With this mess you've left for me
I can clean it up, you see
Just as long as you're gone

[Chorus]

You not making up your mind
Is killing me and wasting time
I need so much more than that
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

Leave the pieces when you go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Leave the pieces when you go

Edgar and I discussed this a bit.  This decides it.  I'm easily sucked in.  

I decided that I love the fedora.  I have seen 3 men wearing one of these sexy selections in the last day...yes 3.  What is this new phenomenon?  Why do I love it so much?  I'll tell ya.

There is something about the confidence a man portrays when he wears a stylish hat that goes beyond the typical baseball cap [but don't get me wrong, I love myself a cute baseball hat.  I like white ones the best.]  This particular hat gives off a strong feeling of mystery and, what I feel, is pure sexiness.  The creases in the top, the way it sits on the wearer's head, and of course, we cannot forget how it covers the eyes.  Mmm Hmm.  I have decided that any man wearing a fedora can have me. 

I think it is important to be strong and hopeful.  It helps keep you on track, but also encourages you to reach for those outrageous dreams that we all have.  Of course there are those times when we are not so strong or hopeful, like I consider myself right now.  I feel beat up, tired, like my head is swollen on the inside.  The only thing that can consistently help me feel better is to keep myself busy and to surround myself with the good, genuine people.  Those are the only two things that I rely on and help me through times when I'm weak and fearful.  Aside from keeping myself busy, which is an obvious answer to forgetting about problems, those good people with whom I surround myself are my family.  And a good question would be: who is my family?  Of course my mom and dad.  There are only the three of us in my little nuclear family.  So whom else?  

Family is what you make of it.  I have mine and I have made mine.  It consists of family and friends, and friends of family and family of friends.  They're my own unique and intricate web of people I have encountered in my life.  They and their opinions are very important to me.  I may only play a small part in their lives, but they hold a heavy part in mine.  I think about all of them often and hope they are all doing well, wherever their lives have lead them.  On the other hand, I have been told I put too much emphasis on what other people tell me.  I dwell or I think it matters too much.  Maybe so.  But maybe others don't pay attention as closely as they should, either.

But one thing is for sure: it's true that even if your family's opinions do not hold the same weight in your life as mine do in my life, they still mean the world to both of us...through thick and thin: feelings, mistakes, experiences, arguments and celebrations.
