I figure that one of these days I'll start hitting up the open mics in San Diego.
One original song, one cover.
Since I'm a fan of sing-alongs, start studying everyone.

Gummi Bears

Dashing and daring, courageous and caring
Faithful and friendly, with stories to share
All through the forest they sing out in chorus
Marching along as their song fills the air

Gummi bears
Bouncing here and there and everywhere
High adventure that's beyond compare
They are the gummi bears

Magic and mystery are part of their history
Along with the secret of gummi berry juice
Their legend is growing, they take pride in knowing
They fight for what's right in whatever they do

Gummi bears
Bouncing here and there and everywhere
High adventure that's beyond compare
They are the gummi bears

They are the gummi bears!
----------------------------------

Ah, my favorite song to cover.
Though I get a better response with Duck Tales.
Was always a major fan of Rescue Rangers.
Maybe I should just work on a megamix.

Some of you are still waiting for me to start posting original lyrics huh?
I need a bigger response 'fore that happens.

It's been awhile.
I figure, why not?




And in case I don't get around to it:
Happy Holidays everyone!
Be safe and stay out of jail for me.

Got distracted by too many projects today and have work at 7am.
For now, you get the cliff notes version on my life to this point.

-Single and dating.
-Living in an apartment with old friends from high school over by CSUSM.
-Spend the majority of my time selling phones and stuff at the Fry's in San Marcos.
-Taking online classes for Real Estate.
-Fan of Helio.
-Last Sunday was my last day at the candy shop.
-Didn't realize how many friends I made working at the mall.
-Not auditioning as much as I'd like to.
-Haven't been practicing the guitar as much as I'd like to either.
-Not a fan of peer pressure.
-Still a major fan of penguins and sushi.
-Could use a co-signer with good credit to help me finance culinary school for next year. (Just in case.)
-Apparently I'm getting gloves as an early gift sometime soon so I need to update my wishlist accordingly.
-My wishlist is probably very simple now.
-Need to get to sleep now.
-Just noticed the automatic spellcheck feature.

I like how being slightly intoxicated gives you an appreciation of how hard it is to jog up a flight of stairs on account of the cool night.
Also, how fun it is to watch a kitten tear up random shit around your apartment, even if it is your leg.

So yea, planning on giving everyone a quick update on all the aspects on my life later today when I'm more sober.

A repost for the non myspace crowd.
My apologies for lack of content.
Almost settled into my new routine completely.

And then there's weddings.

Been awhile since I've been asked to sing at one.
Maybe for the best, because I've been really wanting to try out a cover of the Disney's Gummi Bears theme.

So the future Mr./Mrs. Mose (you never know) can do whatever they'd like for the wedding.
Because it's their day basically.
I'm just there for the food, and the honeymoon.
Not to mention the whole being a good catholic thing.
I am spiritual at times.

Honestly, there's only two things I want from my wedding day:
1) It's in Vegas.
2) I get a penguin ring bearer.

Now it doesn't necessarilly have to be a trained penguin carrying my ring down the aisle.
A nephew dressed in a penguin costume where his face is sticking out of the mouth would suit me just fine.

Should be a fun wedding yes?
Better be.
No tears allowed, even ones of joy.
If that happens, I'm stopping the reception, bringing them into the middle of the floor and performing an interpretational(sp?) dance until everyone is all smiles again.
At one point I was thinking a musical number with the loved one.
That might be pushing it though seeing as how I wanted to ballroom dance with my mother.

So yea, I get those two points, the rest of the groomsmen are taking one for the team that day.
All pink.
Who cares?
I've got my penguin ring-bearer.

So why do some of you have me pegged as the drive-thru wedding type?

Seeing stacked boxes and my room alot cleaner than usual, it finally clicked for my mother that I'm moving out.
Again.

Wait.
Did you just say moving out?

Yes.
Yes I did.

Been thinking 'bout for the past month or so.
Dropping off my first check to pay for rent on Monday kinda solidifying things.
Along w/ getting my new apartment key.
Should have everything moved in and setup by this weekend.
Good times to ensue.
Now it won't feel so akward for me to bring home ladies after a night of bar hopping.
It's alot of fun to leave things up to people's imaginations.

I guess the only problem was seeing my mother get all teary and emotional.
She never was one to hold back on her feelings.

Details 'bout the apartment.
$475 a month plus utilities.
An apartment complex by CSUSM.
I keep it vague, because my first ex is an extremely talented stalker.
Living with two of my homies from my core group of friends in high school.
David and David.
Accordingly, I've been tempted to change my first name to David.
Because the apartment of David, David, and David sounds better than Two Davids and a Reggie.
'Cuz the latter sounds more like the title of a sitcom.
As opposed to a lawfirm.

More than likely I won't be doing the devil's work and selling cellphones for commission for the holiday season.
For some reason, a good portion of you also attribute them to drugs.
No.
I'll be selling cellphones along w/ other random things near my section at Fry's Electronics.
Assuming the drug test goes well.
Because I'm not a fan of heroin or other narcotics.
At least this month.

So I'm on my way back from a chill session when I almost hit another bunny/rabbit/who knows what running into the street.
Luckily, I have the skills of a stunt driver and manage to avoid him.

Way I figure, it was a relative of Mr. Hippity Hop seeking retribution against the lights at night that did him in.
I imagine the movie Punisher portrayed by bunnies would be a fun novelty.

So I'm on my way to a chill session when I notice a rabbit/bunny/who knows running from the center divide out into my lane from the corner of my eye.

I probably hit it.
This evidenced by the clank/thud/bad sound from the rear of my car.

I'm hoping that if I did kill it, that it was done in a swift fashion.
At the least maimed it in a way that it could still function properly.
Think that was the only major event of the day.
Everything else was standard today aside from being recruited to become a cellphone slinger.
Tempting.
Really tempting.

The rest of the post will be used in tribute to the reason I need to wash out my tires tomorrow morning.

Mr. Hippity Hop was a mammal well respected by his peers.
Able to leap a certain distance in a single bound.
Had a decent wife that bore him lots of children.
A fan of leafy greens and the occassional fart joke.
Was at one time sought after to be the mascot for a production company.

But not all was well with his life.
It was a dark and cool night in the suburbs of San Marcos.
Neighbors would attest to the fact that they heard arguments.
Apparently over his inability to provide for his 18 children, not including the illegitimate ones.
He hopped furiously out of their den with the thought that maybe a night along the public pool would bring him some much needed solace.
He never did understand what the fast moving lights at night were about.
After this night, he had no need to.
Just a need to be peeled off the asphalt, assuming the coyotes didn't get to his remains first.

The widowed Hop would weep over the loss of her husband.
Placing blame on herself because she truly understood how hard it was for him to be the only one working.
The only reason for her outburst being the fact that he didn't notice that she styled her ears diffrently that night.
She would weep.
At least until someone else came in to fulfill her carnal needs in the way that only a rabbit can.

And then there's coffee.

Which is a blatant reference to the single's offer, "Would you like some coffee?"
Which is more or less a condensed version of, "Would you like to come into my house/apartment/motel room/etc. and pillage my body like a one man viking raiding party and than have some coffee together when we eventually wake up the next morning?"

Point of this post, I've turned down offers of coffee.
My apologies to those that have offered.
Although greatly appreciated, and very tempting, I do have a couple valid reasons.
At least in my mind's eye.

I. Morals.
I had an upbringing heavily influenced by Filipino Catholic values and a heapload of Disney movies.
This lead me to want to be celibate until marriage.
After the masterful tease that was my last ex, I've learned that in being a mid 20's male, this is steadily becoming more and more unrealistic.
I've come to a compromise in personal beliefs in that a deep emotional connection is needed 'fore I venture to home base.
If anything, it'll involve a strong commitment should either one of us goof.

Would I want to spend the rest of my life with this person?
Fun question to ask yourself.

II. I feel like I'd be cheating you.
Granted, I did manage to burn off a good 40-50lbs. of realtionship fat off over the past year.
I still feel like I'm cheating all of the interested parties out there.
Like the reality doesn't match up to the fantasy.

Give me another month, should have more mus-kles by than.
If anything, maybe I'll bypass my morals, put my tools to work, and switch to manwhore status.

Who knows?
Because to the people that know me on a personal basis, when you think Reggie, you think "Manwhore."
Not to mention "Attitude."

I hate pulling a calf muscle, one of the worst pains in the world.

Which decided to burst forth with a mixture of green fluid, probably puss, and blood in my mouth while I was headed out to catch a great concert series put on by a friend of mine.
Taste wasn't pleasant, and I couldn't spit it out cuz I was in the middle lane.

Everybody knows things are bad.
When people have to spend the 4th of July working instead of relaxing you know things are bad. They have shorter hours, but they are still missing out on the 4th of July.
I find myself spending my day off watching the Food network and seeing all the grilling specials. Marinated ribs, juicy steaks, plump chicken, grilled salmon, chips, salsa, beer...
While I dream about these things you're sitting there in front of your computer saying to yourself:, "Please Mr. Angry he's not getting BBQ tomorrow, let me enjoy my day at the park/beach playing, frisbee, flying a kite, throwing water balloons and cooking BBQ and I won't bother you."

Well I'm not going to leave you alone.
It doesn't work like that.
I want YOU to get mad.
I want YOU to get mad for me.
I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot. I don't want you to write your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write.
I don't even know if it's okay for you to drop off some BBQ ribs at my workplace tomorrow.
All I know is first you've got to get mad.
You've got to get ANGRY.
You've got to say, "I'm a human being. God Dammit, my life has value."

So I want YOU to get up now.
I want all of YOU to step away from your computer monitors.
I want YOU to get up right now, open your window, stick your head out and yell, "I'm hungry as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"

You've got to say, "I'm hungry as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
Than we'll figure out what to do about people having to work on the 4th of July.
About people not being able to enjoy fresh BBQ in beautiful weather with friends and family.
About not being able to spend the day at the Del Mar Fair gorging on funnel cake and kettle corn and ending the night with a spectacular fireworks show.
But first, get up out of your chairs, open your windows, stick your head out and yell, "I'm hungry as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
At least for people like myself that only get leftover, microwaved, BBQ tomorrow night.

I'm working on my 2nd long island iced tea and discussing the intricacies of bartending with the bartender on duty that night because it's a part-time job I'm interested in picking up.

I send a slight smile and a wink her way and it's returned by some pearly whites.
They weren't Johnny Depp/Willy Wonka white mind you, but they did evidence that she brushes her teeth.

"No." She replies.
"Well.... you raised my cock."
Delivered w/ a smirk on my part.

Probably a 5 second pause from her...
And then I get slapped.

Her friends got a good laugh out of the line.
They've got a great sense of humor.
She took life a little too seriously for my taste.
The prim and proper type, something I would've realized if I noticed the white wine she was drinking.
I probably would've come in w/ a less vulgar line.
"So my friend back there that I haven't met yet wanted me to tell you that I think you're beautiful."

Might've been less painful, but this night was fun nonetheless.
Made some new friends(hers), got some numbers(theirs), and a free drink from the bartender cuz he thought that line was awesome.

I've been introduced as an artist, actor, wedding singer, and a performer.
I still get weirded out when people introduce me as a comedian.
Finally found the template for the Booty Call Contract my friend and I put together in high school.
Posting it up on the web probably wouldn't dissuade people from thinking that I am anything but a comic huh?

Definitely attending, assuming nothing happens during jury duty that morning.

I'm making a road trip up to Santa Barbara this Thursday.
Not because John Cleese of Monty Python fame lives up there.
Because my younger brother will be officially done with his first year of college at UCSB and consequently, gets kicked out of his dorm that day.
Also because I want to grub at the DLG.
'Cuz Jack Johnson mentioned it.
'Cuz he studied there.
Like Johnny Tsunami, and one of the bullies from the first few series of the Power Rangers.

Anybody out there have any recommendations of good stations to listen to on the trek up there?
Better yet, anybody want to keep me company over the phone via earpiece?
Even better, anybody want to go with me on the drive so I can make use of the carpool lane on the way up?
Questions are fun aren't they?

Should make for a fun experience heading out w/ me.
Might even hear me complain 'bout one of my butt cheeks getting sore because of the Benz.
I think I'm too tall for it.

I seriously need to get my hands on a kite.
Preferrably one that's penguin related.
Because penguins can't fly.
Coincidentally, that's the title to a song I wrote last month.

I like to think that if you've gotten to that point in monetary analysis, you might want to start keeping track of how much alcohol intake you get each week.

Many thanks for all of the birthday greetings.
Greatly appreciated.
Had to go and run up my phone bill w/ the text messages huh peeps?

Aside from the overcast for half the day my bday was a good one.
Lounging, guitar practice, and sunlight when I went out for a berfday lunch.
Good times.

For the most part, I haven't had to pay for anything this week.
This makes me feel REAL akward.
So I went and bought people drinks at the workplace.

I just noticed I eat ALOT during my birthweek.
Hitting up my favorite sushi place in San Marcos for the 4th time in a span of one week next Monday.
Sushiya must love seeing me.

Consider the following an official poll.
What should I do w/ my head this summer?
a) shave my head Mr. Clean bald so I can get my scalp sunburnt over the summer
b) grow out the hair a lil bit and get blue streaks in my hair
c) save money and just keep shaving it with a #2 clip every few weeks

It's hard to keep track of the massive amount of relatives I have in the world.

Knees are sore.
Tried to overcompensate for the massive alcohol intake last week with a 10-12 mile jog Friday.
Remind me not to do that again.
At least without my knee brace.

So the only definite thing I'm doing tomorrow is a light jog in the morning.
Would've liked to spend part of it cloud watching.

"I would give her the world... If I could." - Randy Goodum

So today marks the 25th anniversary of when we lost a great person of the musical world to cancer.
Born February 6, 1945 Bob Marley created beautiful, poignant, and inspiring music that touches base with every generation that comes across his songs.
I forget exactly when or how I was introduced to his music.
I do remember searching for every single track he ever touched afterwards though.

One of my personal favorites:

Bob Marley - Waiting in Vain

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

From the very first time I placed my eyes on your girl
My heart said follow through.
But I know now that I'm way down on your line
But the waiting here is fine

So don't treat me like a puppet on a string
'Cause I know how to do my thing
Don't talk to me as if your think I'm dumb
I wanna know when you're gonna come

See
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

'Cause Summer is here I'm still waiting here
Winter is here and I'm still waiting there

Like I said
It's been three years since I'm knocking on your door
And I still can knock some more

Oooh girl oooh girl
Is it feasible, I wanna know now
For I to knock some more

Ya see
In life I know there's lots of grief
But your love is my relief
Tears in my eyes girl
Tears in my eyes girl while I'm waiting for my turn

See
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna
I don't wanna wait in vain
I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna
I don't wanna wait in vain
It's your love that I'm waiting on
It's your love that I'm running from
It's your love that I'm waiting on
It's your love that I'm running from...

If I wet myself in excitement over this I wouldn't mind.

The Jumping Turtle's a great venue.
They advertise 49 different drafts and 120 types of alcohol.
Awesome resource for local music.
And it's in San Marcos.
Next to a liquor store.
Good times.

I've been getting this nagging feeling that someone's been giving out my cellphone # to guys they meet during the nightlife that they don't want to talk to the past few weeks.
To some degree, it's funny.
But both of us wanted to talk to you.
The random guy probably wanted to fuck you.
But I genuinely wanted to get to know you better.

Roosevelt, more awesomeness.
Even got a stamp on my hand that says "OK" and refuses to go away.

There's some strong liquor over at The Jumping Turtle.
Got buzzed alot faster than usual (2nd Long Island).
Probably because of the 7 straight days of work, or the lack of food the entire day, or maybe she was just trying to get me plastered to take advantage of me.

I imagine it'd be fun if that ever happened to me.
If only because it hasn't happened yet to myself.
I'd take it as a great compliment that someone would find me so attractive that they would need to cheat to seduce me.

When all you need is a great smile...

Older brother can only pump out daughters at the moment.
Younger brother LOVES "chick flicks" dancing, and is pretty much borderline gay, recently found evidence to be detailed later not withstanding.
There is nothing wrong with being able to see things from another person's point of view, even if it is considered a strictly feminine thing by most people.

I don't think I'm getting my Bob Marley cd back from my mother.
Ever.

Define "unforeseen circumstance" for this week.
Unexpected, mostly forced, dinner with the parents to discuss future and younger brother's sex life.
At least I got me some sirloin.

Brother's friends found a box of condoms in his room while they were trying to find a game they let him borrow 'fore he went to college.
We just aren't sure what sex he uses them on.
For that matter, if he uses them on humans.
Could be one explanation why the cats left the house.
At least he's being safe though.

Did anybody else catch the big ol' rainbow in the skies over San Marcos last week?
From my vantage point, it seemed like the pot of gold could've been found at our brewery.
Yes.
San Marcos makes it's own beer.

My parents and I have no idea where my wit comes from.
It's probably the end result of some freak genetic accident.

It's been working for a good two months or something now.
There's only been two days where I haven't heard "Hollaback girl" during a shift.
That cd single would make for a very mean and very funny gag gift.
Don't be getting any ideas though.

I need new brake pads.
And a concert buddy.
And someone to be my wingman after I resume bar-hopping again.

I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again

I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love

Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face

I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singing, singing in the rain

Dancin in the rain...
La da ya la yada da

I'm happy again!
I'm singing and dancing in the rain.

(music, dancing, and good times)

Women are evil.
If anything, it's because they have access to this question during a relationship.

"Do these pants make my ass look big?"

Why ask that of the male species if you want complete honesty from them?
We answer: "Big no. Sexy yes. Let me spank it."
Or some other "safe" answer.
In reality, we'd like to respond: "No. It's your big ass that makes your ass look big."

I figure women like putting there men in no-win situations just so they'll have to make it up to them in the form of dinner, backrubs, night of no sex, and/or watch a chick flick with them.

If only guys had access to something like that question.

-Inventory days suck majorly.
-Saturday's get extremely busy on days where rain is in the forecast.

So yea, I'm out of grandpa's now.
Last one kicked the bucket a few days ago.
Burial's tomorrow.

Most people that don't know me too well are a bit taken aback at how well I can deal with this lost.
Let me level with you.
The past few years there have been birthday parties for him, it always ended when he got taken out by ambulance.
Being Filipino, half of my grandparents are dead 'fore I'm even born.
Large families, many deaths.

The only time I'd probably be really affected by the death of a grandparent would be my father's mother, whenever it eventually happens.
She took care of me and my brother's growing up while my parents were both busy working hard for our benefits.
There was a language barrier because I was never fully taught the native toungue, but the love was still felt 'tween us.

'Cuz I'm her favorite.
She always hooked me up with fried chicken when she knew she was gonna see me.
It was rough on me when she got breast cancer awhile back.
Imagine how it's gonna be like when she passes away.

Maybe I'll have a solid support group by than.
She did outlast the rest of her siblings.
And she was one of the younger ones.
I need to eat more fish.

I have an extra ticket to Canes this Wednesday.
Because my greek lil brho is a FAILURE.
Still got mad, manly, heterosexual love for him though.

Why am I sober right now?
Probably cuz I'm not in the right mindset to be drinking right now.
That, and I need to stop having people flake on me.

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone.
Pinches go out to those that deserve 'em.
Wanted to be celebrating with green beer throughout the day, but I had an unexpected late shift.

So yea.
Be safe, stay out of jail, and all that other good stuff.

I want to make use of my season pass to SeaWorld 'fore it expires this year.

Everyone that wasn't at the Belly Up Tavern tonight missed out.
Just an awesome night to turn what started out as a bad day into a good one.

Enlightening
Enchanting
Enamored
En....spired
Enron
Ender's Game

Ended up with a roughly $80 tab 'fore tips by the end of the night.
That's perfectly fine for $3 pints and good company.

Yes, I'm still buzzing.
Part alcohol.
Part natural high from the show.

If only you knew...

It's always fun to find songs that have relevance to your life at that very moment.
The following is courtesy from a 19 year old young gun of R&B.

Reynard Silva - Cool With U

Tell me what's wrong, pretty lady
Cause you're looking lonely tonight
I know I can fix that
Do you wanna chill, if it's all right with you lady...
Now I'm not tryin' to holler at you
And girl, don't take me for a fool
But I gotta let you know
That I'm digging you
And I really really really wanna be
Cool with you, listen baby...

Ain't tryin' to rush into anything
Ain't tryin' to wear no wedding ring
I just wanna be cool
And no I'm not tryin' to get ahead
Ain't tryin' to get you in my bed
I just wanna be cool with you

(La da da da da da da...)
Is the melody when I think of you
You've got my head spinning 'round and round
And 'round and 'round and 'round
And you turn my frowns upside down
Please don't dismiss everything I'm saying
And I want you to know
That I ain't playin'
So would it be too much if I asked
To chill with you?
Don't call it a "first date", no no
Cause I just wanna be cool...

Ain't tryin' to rush into anything
Ain't tryin' to wear no wedding ring
I just wanna be cool
And no I'm not tryin' to get ahead
Ain't tryin' to get you in my bed
I just wanna be cool with you

I just wanna be cool
Cool with you

Ain't tryin' to rush into anything
Ain't tryin' to wear no wedding ring
I just wanna be cool
And no I'm not tryin' to get ahead
Ain't tryin' to get you in my bed
I just wanna be cool with you

Ain't tryna rush into anything...
I just wanna be cool
No, I'm not tryna get ahead...
I just wanna be cool with you.

So yea, that song applies to YOU.
Not YOU.
I don't even like YOU.

Still working on his album to be released later this year.
Bastard needs to realize that every album has a miss or two.
Needs to release it now.
Or at least make this song available for download.
Keeps getting stuck in my head.
Moreso because I find myself wanting to serenade a lady with this.

To get it stuck in your head also, find him on Myspace.

I can feel absolutely confident in saying that picking up Alexander is one of my life's biggest regrets.
Any others, I'm not entirely sure of at the moment.

Work was insanely busy from the get go.
Opened up shop a few minutes early because there were a few lil girls pressing there face up against the glass.
Great, good humored customers make the day go by easier.
As does selling a giant Whirly Pop.

It can be considered a blunt weapon.
It's just gargantuan in it's proportions.
Should be enough lollypop to last you half the year.
And I sold one today.
Now I can leave the job feeling truly at peace with myself.
Moreso if I managed to sell two in one day.
Almost...

If something happens, great!
If nothing does, no biggie.

If there is truly one thing I'm bitter about as an end result of the termination of my last relationship, it's that I used up a damn good pet name on her.

Angel

From the time I first saw her and up until recently, I thought she was heaven sent.
Man, I was wrong.
Kinda lazy with my first ex: sweetie

Short, sinple, sweet.
Helluva lot better than my gravel pit of desire.
Or that thing I stick my penis into.

Oh well.
I'll probably come up with something great when the time comes.
For now, taking things reaaaaaallly slow to make sure it's not a rebound or fill the void type thing.

Because when I say "I love you"
It's not bullshit.
I truly mean it.

Damn all of my family members, how did they all get it all right on the first try?
Well, some through pregnancy, but the rest...

I need to be at the LAX by 1:20pm tomorrow.

I figure that trying to put toothpaste on my razor so I can brush my teeth this morning means I drank a lil too much the other night.

Those were some good times.
Well, the parts I can vaguely remember.

Wow.

Star 94.1 is letting me down.
Not only do I hear "hollaback girl" three times during my shift each day, along w/ the same 80's songs, but they're misusing the airplay of James Blunt's song Beautiful.

It used to be that everytime they played it a gorgeous woman would stroll into the shop.
Today it was 4 guys.

Fun thing about being single though, it IS okay to look.
And touch.
If I ever let myself get that far.

My greek lils are the shiznit.

Auditions are starting to pick up again.
I'm planning on breaking many legs.
Not Tanya Harding style though.

I was finishing up my second Newcastle Ale a few minutes ago when I realized I open up shop tomorrow.
Really wanted to go to the cheap wine next.

*sigh*

I am not an alkie.
I just need to get contact info from the ladies I'd like to get to know better.

If that didn't make sense to you, it's because you're not slightly buzzed like I am.
Sometimes it sucks to be able to hold so much liquor.

Let the randomness end.


Right about now.

A great smile will always get me.
Everything else is just a bonus.

For now, some quality R&B from one of the young guns.

Trey Songz - Comin' For You

My day had been so crazy
I know you've been waitin'
But babygirl it won't be long
'Cause soon I'm coming home
Oh the phones just started ringing
And my boys done got to fightin'
Next thing you know my mama called
Talking bout her car done stalled
I was almost there baby
And the sky just got hazy
Then rain began to fall
Then Grandma start going off
But I swear I'm comin' baby
I'm so sorry to keep you waitin'

You just keep holding on
Sleet, hail or snow
I want you know to know

I'm comin' for you
Get that love ready, hold steady, my lady
I'm comin' for you
Get them hugs ready, hold steady, my lady
I'm comin' for you

Ain't nothing gonna hold me back

Now the po's done pulled me over
But I swear girl I was sober
See they said I fit descriptions
Of a man that killed a witness
Oooh baby this aint fair
'Cause I was almost there

So just keep holdin' on
Sleet, hail or snow
I want you to know

I'm comin' for you
Get that love ready, hold steady, my lady
I'm comin' for you
Get them hugs ready, hold steady, my lady
I'm comin' for you

Speedin' hydroplaneing(sp?)
This rainy road
I know you need me so I gotta go
If lovin' was smoke
Then my baby's the dro(?)
And I need a hit so yo I gotta roll
And it don't matter what I gotta do
Get out my way 'cause see im on the move
No need to wonder who I'm comin' to
I'm coming for you

Im comin' for you
Get that love ready, hold steady, my lady
I'm comin' for you
Get them hugs ready, hold steady, my lady
I'm comin' for you

Rain, sleet, hail, or snow
I just need you know
That I'm coming for you

I'm comin' for you
Get that love ready, hold steady, my lady
I'm comin' for you
Get them hugs ready, hold steady, my lady
I'm comin' for you
------------------------------

It's kinda like the booty call gone wrong in my mind's eye.
My video would have it start off with him at work receiving a text from his lady.
"I need you badly."
The rest of the video would be him speeding along a freeway.
Mix in shots of him responding to the phone calls he's getting right before the exit to his home.
During the chorus, mix in shots of him and his lady making love on satin sheets in a candlelit room because he's fantasizing.
Gets home, sloppy parking job.
Storms into the house, runs upstairs expecting his lady in sexy lingerie only to find her in the bathroom handing him a plunger.

If only I had enough time to pursue a career in Communications.

I am about to state something very unmanly.
So for those that wish to not see me lose "man points" and possibly think less of me, please feel free to skip the next few lines.
Keep scrolling 'til you see ***** at the top of your window.




I miss cuddling.
No dry humping, no groping, no making out.
Just the simple act of lying and embracing each other.
Cradling my lady's head w/ my arm and shoulder, not even caring 'bout the stretch marks on my shoulder that would be the eventual results.


Think that's it.


************************

So yea, I'm definitely getting old.
Had an empty household for almost two weeks now and I've only managed to throw one social gathering.
It didn't even involve nakedness.

Have to pick up la familia from the LAX Saturday.
Please lecture me if I'm still online that morning and not dealing w/ traffic on the 5.

Should be enough time left to do something with the house right?
'Sides sliding around the floors in socks and underwear.
Probably just more of the yardwork.
And making the house not look like a bachelor's pad.
At least the animals are still alive.

I am no longer insomnia's bitch lover.
I'm managing to avg. 6 hrs. of sleep per night as opposed to 4.
The secret: Exhaustion
A 40hr. work week in retail can do that to a person.
Also cuz I stopped having certain dreams.
Found better subjects to focus on.

You ever feel like you were just someone's living dildo in a relationship?

Folklore states that having pimples means your in love.
I wasn't aware that a hefty love of fried chicken and sweets could bring about acne.
Because that's pretty much it nowadays.

I think that maybe I should've given up alcohol as opposed to tobacco for lent.
Three nights of bar-hopping takes a toll on my funds.
'Cuz I'm too damn generous sober or intoxicated.
Forgot I had to open shop Thursday.
A bit difficult to put on a good "work face" while hungover a bit.

Perhaps I'm over compensating the loss of cigars with alcohol.
Perhaps.
Or I might just be making up for lost ground from all my friends that have given up alcohol for lent.
Be strong.
And let me drink for you.

The main reason I took the extra hours at work yesterday didn't show up.
I also missed out on karaoke morning at the center of the mall.

There really is no main point to today's post.
But if you'd really like me to tie it all together in a central theme, I leave you with this:

Vacuums only suck when you turn them on.
There are sexual undertones and a life lesson to be learned from that.

Man, has it really been that long since I've posted?
My apologies.
Also extended to the people that have to hear 'bout my single white pubic hair at random points of a conversation.

Again, I'm sorry.
It just bugs the hell out of me.
Anybody got a pair of tweezers I can borrow?
Using the restroom, it just stands there defiantly, mocking me.
Probably thinking to itself: "You're turning 24 this year, what am I doing here?"

Is it possible that one's own genital can become so frustrated that it gets white hairs?
If that's the case, hey YOU, thanks alot.

Alpha Psi Rho is 6 years, and one day old now as of this moment.
Happy Anniversary yo!

Note to self: You've given up tobacco for lent.
Which is brilliant, cuz I just opened up a new box of cigars over the weekend.

I like to look at the act of trimming one's pubic hair as a delicate artform.
One that should only be done by skilled artisans or people with entirely way too much freetime on their hands.
It's kinda like taking care of a bonsai tree.
Trim too much and it just doesn't look right.
Definitely want to avoid damaging the branches too.

Two weeks, empty household.
Parents're in the homeland visiting now.
Help me fill it or keep me out of it please.
Depression's annoying when it hits me.

Nights like this make me wish I had booty calls available to me.
Or at least be the type of person to make use of them.

Still learning things on a daily basis and that's truly a great thing about life.
Today I learned that stress can cause pubic hair to turn white too.
Just waiting to see an armpit hair turn white now.

I have alot of alcohol now.
Let's share.

Tuesday is Mardi Gras I believe.
Can't enjoy my first opportunity as a 21+ to enjoy it as a single downtown because of work.
Heard it sucks though.
But it would've been a nice fix for my need for live boobie action.
At least there's always strip clubs.

From what I've managed to see of the current season of American Idol, I can admit one thing.
Yes.
Yes I'm jealous.
But not of Little Lauren's boy.
He killed my song.
Just not as badly as last year.

I'm jealous of Ace.
'Cuz I can't pull off the pout without looking goofy.
And he can attract women of his own age based on looks alone.

I'm jealous of Sway.
'Cuz he's got some crazy vocal control.
And he's been putting out quality R&B w/ his groups since the 90's.

Finally, I'm jealous of Ryan Seacrest.
'Cuz he makes me wonder if I can make a career out of saying my last name followed by the word "out" also.
How do you get paid to do that?
Does having the majority of the world think you're homosexual help any?

It's because of Gwen Stefani I am no longer confident when I spell out "Banana."

Gonna miss you Don Knotts.
