addictions are never good

Nobody is perfect. Everybody has their addictions. I for one am addicted to eating Pizza Hut Parmesan Cheese packets. But what made me write this post was my little brother's recent addiction to everything Transformers related. Everything from Megatron wallpaper to Optimus Prime slideshows. You may be thinking this is harmless but nothing is good in excess. I have lost precious hours of sleep waiting for our illegal movie to load over the internet. This post is not about him though. I am here for the good of mankind, to warn of all addictions from the seemingly harmless to the downright dangerous. For example some (my own parents) may view constant studying to be a positive, but instead this leaves you awkward and socially outcasted (I am not speaking from personal experience). Many people bite their fingernails when nervous. This may seem innocent at first, but it is generally viewed as a discusting habit and can make things hard when trying to open Parmesan Cheese packets. To conclude, my point is when you or others notice an addiction coming around find something better to do or it may end up with worse consequences then you ever imagined.

Back from canvas camp 09

Ye yeah! I'm back people! If you have never been to a Lakewood camp you should, even if your not Christian.

I had the experience of my life! I was in the presence of God! I learned many things. I was a selfish Christian. A selfish Christian is someone who knows God and lives with him everyday, but rarely talks to non Christians about it. There is a story called Fruitcake and ice cream. Watch it.

A good leader is constantly thinking about others, about God what God wants. Not what I want.
Therefore I'm going to do what he has told me to do which is to disciple his word.
Which I will do.
I also got a tan from camp,
my nose is starting to peal noooo, but i had fun!

Running away...

Is never a good idea. Trust me i was just recently a run away. I have everything that i need, but i chose to leave it all. Why? That's what i asked myself... i could not find a reason. Just lame ass excuses. I'm just a child and it's time for a reality check to grow the fuck up. I'm no where near perfect, I've made plenty of mistakes that caused the trust from my family to be completely gone. It is painful. I guess i need to start over once again. Re invent myself i suppose. Every year I'm different. This time I'll think more carefully before i speak, i might as well be a mute! It's rather difficult right now. My emotions are all out of whack and i'm looking for some balance. My family took me back in and had a mini intervention. They love and care for me...which to my surprise made me feel shitty and good at the same time. Long story short if you or someone you may know is contemplating about running away.. please talk to someone about your situation.




Peace&Love

Mexico

It's been quite a while ladies an gentlemen. I'm gonna try to post this as soon as I can or will be replaced by a monkey. So, I just came back from a 9 day trip to my father's homeland, Mexico City. Known as Chilangolandia in the rest of the Republic.

Mexico and Mexico City are amazing. I connected to my people and culture like never before. I even participated in traditional pre-Hispanic Aztec dancing. I didn't know what to write about at first, but this feels just right. I even spent my birthday in Mexico City, and had a Chavo del 8 birthday cake. I came home feeling refreshed, culturally connected, and ready to take on the world with a new found pride in who I am and who my people are. Ometéotl everybody.

I would also like to take a moment and welcome our newest member, Celina! Welcome aboard, it is an honor to blog with you.

Oh yeah! Mexico beat the U.S. in a stunning show of skill and athleticism 5-0, in Giants Stadium located in East Rutherford, NJ.

¡Sí se pudo!

...running out of ideas to post

Hi there! I'm back!! In part because I love the all attention I'm getting for my posts and also because Francisco is threatening to replace me with a monkey.





As some of you may know I spent most of my time away from the blog relaxing in Hawaii and the rest of the time I've spent struggling to find new ideas to post about. This affliction is widely known as writers block. Before writing this post I considered many ideas to write about including: the death of the VCR, the death of CDs, the problems with today's movies, the stupidness of treadmills, and other random ideas. Yes the job of the casual blogger is not an easy one but its one I'm more than happy to do. Because I'd rather not get replaced by a monkey.

Fuck. That was the lamest conclusion I've ever written....

Yo Quiero Taco Bell

Gidget, the famed Chihuahua who appeared in Taco Bell ads, died Tuesday at the age of 15.

Karen McElhatton, Gidget's owner, tells Usmagazine.com the dog was with her trainer, Sue Chipperton, watching television when she began making "strange noises" and suffered a stroke.

Before the dog's death, "She had a good day and was running around as normal," McElhatton tells Usmagazine.com. "We're happy that she was very well off right until the end."

Gidget -- whose "Yo Quiero Taco Bell" spots debuted in September 1997 -- also had a cameo in Legally Blonde 2, in addition to appearing in other TV spots.

We enjoyed working with Gidget, and she will be missed by many," a Taco Bell spokesperson tells Us in a statement. "Our deepest sympathies go out to her owners and fans."

The dog had an exceptionally happy life, her owner says.

"She lived like a queen," McElhatton tells Us. "She had a great life. We're very sad. She's a wonderful little dog."

Are port-o-potties the new nurseries?

(CNN) -- A 44-year-old Maryland woman faces charges of child abuse after police say she gave birth in a portable toilet and dropped the newborn into the waste tank.

A Maryland woman is charged with child abuse after police say she dropped her newborn into a portable toilet.

After exiting the portable toilet in Long Wharf Park in Cambridge, Candy Vigneri got a cigarette from a construction worker and sat at a picnic table, police Lt. Wayne Bromwell said.

As she sat, a male passer-by approached the toilet but Vigneri warned him, "Don't go in there, I just had a baby there," police said.

The man immediately called 911. Vigneri returned to the toilet and retrieved the newborn from the foul liquid at the base of the tank.

The baby was unresponsive and covered with a blue antibacterial chemical agent when emergency responders reached the scene, police said.

Vigneri told officers that she didn't know she was pregnant.

She was arrested Wednesday on charges of child abuse and reckless endangerment and is being held on a $50,000 bond.

The baby is in stable condition at Easton Memorial Hospital. Dorchester County social services will take control of the newborn after she is released from the hospital.

Seriously, what the heck is wrong with people? 

First it's forgetting your kids are locked in your car

in dead summer, now it's forgetting you're pregnant and 

dumping the baby in a port-o-potty. 

Wow, I don't even know what else to say to that. 

First post! I feel like I did well. :D Can't wait to keep posting.
