The Weekend of Lamb's Farm, Pool, and my Kitty.

Well...it is that time for the weekend update. ( queue the news music)

My weekend was good. It has a lot of good things in it. I went to Lamb's farm with my mom, the kids, my brother, and his kid. My brother, Tin, has a son X. He only gets to see him when the x-girlfriend lets him pick X up. He called me and told me that he would have the kid for a couple of hours. The x-girlfriend told him to take him to Lamb's Farm. I mean get a load of this, but Tin can only do what he can. He does not want to start any waves. Otherwise, she may end up being a witch with him and not let Tin see his kid. I know all soap opera crap. It is what you have to deal when you have a kid with someone other than your wife. It really stinks. Anyway, it was cool. The kids had a good time. They were doing miniature golf. My son really got a kick out of that one. I also got a parent tell me that my son is built for football. He is a solid little boy. I do not disagree. Maybe this fall.

Another Update...my crush is full blown. It is terrible. You can see the previous post. She will be known as my kitty. Ms. Kitty is fine, too. Sorry slipped into guy mode. It is all good.

Ok...back to our regularly schedule program. I went to the pool. It was nice and cool. Considering it has been super hot the last couple of days. I also have been watching my show 24 with Keifer Sutherland. It totally rocks. I can't wait to netflix season 3. I have been staying up way to late to watch this show. I am so glad netflix rocks.

In music news, cleaning out my computer at home, found some really good songs. Santa Sabina, Jazz, Molotov, and some old Spanish Rock. It was cool stuff. Though I had lost some of this music.

So Close...Yet, So Far Away

howl into the 7 winds
hoping it carries the wish
across the vast distance
to her delicate ears
may it whisper to her
my dreams and hopes
telling her
the yearning i hold
the kisses that i owe
on restless nights
waking to thoughts
of my dulce muse

Maldita Vecindad and Caribou Coffee

Jump in the ride and turn on some tunes. I choose Maldita Vecindad. Spanish rock group that was out in the 90's one of the first bands out there doing the Spanish Rock thing. I mean not for nothing. Just listening to them puts a smile on my face. They have such energy. I listened to one of their albums. Baile De Mascaras. It had me smiling from ear to ear.

Meanwhile, I was wrestle with the idea of going to my office and eating oatmeal or going out of my way to Caribou Cafe. I was going to make it. Some nut cut me off and so that put me over the edge. I broke down and went to get some. Btw, the nut was just a little excuse to go. I think all along I knew I was going. The damn caffeine has me addicted.

The office got a free lunch. We ate some salad, Panera Sandwiches, cookies, and green tea. It was yummy. You can not beat a free lunch. We also got cake later in the afternoon.

**Update**

I think I am starting to get a new little crush. I have to keep it hush hush...why? It is more dramatic this way. MMUUUUAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I can be evil sometimes. I really can be. My back no longer hurts. Yippee!!

Work is crazy busy. It leaves me no time for the important things like blogging. I mean GOSH!! Here I am at home at 10:19pm blogging. I should be in bed. I think I need a beer. Ok...Santiago. Signing off. Over and out.

P.S. Leave you with a question...is there an ideal person that one can fall in love with and stop you from thinking about other women? or are we doomed to marry and still lust after thy neighbor? Ok...that was two, but it is in a line of the same theme.

You have just enough pain to make you human...

but not enough to drag you down. This line brought to you by Neicybelle and the number 9.

In the last couple of days, I have made a trip to the mall. Gone to the movies (watched Monster House and almost snuck into the Pirates Movie, but there were no more seats) and had tacos from a great little taqueria on Ashland. I did not once fall in love with anyone. Is there something wrong with me? Who knows.

I did take a trip down memory lane. I remember making the trips to the mall to just hang out. It was one of those things that you did to get girls. This obviously was when I was a teenager. I just remember being able to sit there and see all these beaultiful women pass by you. I got a couple of smiles. I know I got rejected too. Those hurt. Overall, it was a time of innocence. The worries in our lives were minor.

Another memory was the holidays like July 4th and summer days we used to go to the theater and pay for one movie and watch movies like all day. I remember making a trip to the bathroom and then going to the next movie screen. On one of these such trips...because there was nothing else to watch...me and my brother watched Steel Magnolias. I know that was real lame, but such is life. Those were the days.

Te busco a ti/I'm looking for you

aun hoy
a esta hora de la noche
persisto con mi tentación
estoy cerca de descubrirte
con ese pelo largo
de tela fina
piel de color caramelo
dulce al ojear
exploro las sombras
espero verlos
esos ojos que penetran mi corazón
que derrite mi enojo
con su bella sonrisa
es verdad
te busco a ti

it is you
I am looking for
among the shadows
wanting a glimpse of
her almond eyes
beautiful smile
long flowing hair
I change to the English language
just to make sure
I have not left any stone
unturned
for my heart wanes
it needs her to kick start
the flow of blood
let it course thru me

When all else fails go back to the classics...

This is going to be a quick one. I am here and alive. My back is killing me and has been for the longest time. I went to Sonrisa's B-day Bash. I had the best time. I was super glad I stuck around to the end. Sorry, DCN, I forgot the camera. You should have been there. Royalty showed up. Chanclita made a surprise appearance. Okay...I knew she was going to be there, but I had to be dramatic. I was draggin all day on Sunday.

At any rate, I am here just listening to some Cafe Tacvba. They are really inspirational. It helps that they rock. Have to get back to work. Got to reach those quotas!! UGh!!!

Of Crushes and Indecent Exposure

Some things I have been thinking about. Why do I have secret little crushes? I have always had them. I fall in love with one girl and just fawn over her for the longest. Actually, come to think of it...I really do not have one right now. (Damn it!! Mental note to self get a girl or woman to crush on) At any rate I do not have anyone that fills that role right now. I mean there is one girl that would come the closest, but my crush on her is no secret. jajajajaja!! I am still being serious. I need that. I need a little crush to keep me going. Something to look forward to. Someone to keep me on top of my shit. I would ideally love it to be my wife, but she does keep me on point, but not to the point I would like. I mean I am always doing things to make her notice that I love her. Like I suggested the bed and breakfast for our Anniversary. It won't be a surprise, but it would be nice to do. You know...just the two of us. My kids get jealous of our time together. It is cute.

I have also been thinking about selfishness. I can't really going into too much into this topic. My ideas are not really formed. They are just there in my brain lingering. I saw a girls underwear today. It was quite by accident. I tell you indecent exposure is always part of my day. Like that guy urinating. What the hell was that all about.

Donde se ha ido mi sonrisa

Levanto mi cara.
Quiero ver mi Sonrisa.
No la veo en el espejo.
Solo en mis recuerdos.
Donde se ha hido.
Mi querida Sonrisa.
Sal a la luz.
Dejame ver tu esplandor.

Volumen Cero among other things

Thanks for worrying about me. I am doing okay. It has been a rough couple of weeks. The Monday before the Holiday, we were released from our bonds of workery. So...it was nice. We went to watch Nacho Libre. I could have waited to watch it on DVD. It was funny. It was a Jack Black funny movie. In otherwords, it was not worth paying all that money to go see it in the theater. Well...after that...the s*#$% hit the fan. The big boss from our office came in and demanded status on our progress. It turns out, the output of our collective efforts was very dismal. So...they have been cracking the whip. This is why I have not been able to blog. Well...for those that care while I was MIA (missing in action). There it is.

I bought some things on-line. I have purchased Estelar. It is Volumen Cero's latest CD. It is great. I just love their lyrics and their guitar riffs. I highly recommend it.

Weird moments in Santis Life. I was biking with the kids around the mid afternoon. There was a car parked out in an empty lot behind a store. We had been just racing back there with my son. It turns out there was a very promiscous couple in that car. Apparently, after my wife passed them up. The girl started giving the guy a blowjob. It looked like a young couple and it was in the middle of the day. My kids were around. It was not cool. Under other circumstance...it would be cool. I mean the guy was getting head. When my kids are around...totally not cool. My son gets interested in couples making out. Trust me at this stage in his life it is not cool.

He has already asked me about the "gay" word. What does it mean? I had given him the dictionary explanation. It means happy. He bought it for one day. He came back several days later and asked me again. "What does gay mean again?" I totally wanted to tell him to shut up and never mention that word again. Obviously I did not. Instead I also told him how the kids would have been using it. I told him that the kids are misusing the word. They are basically using the word as a negative remark. I also told him that it has various meanings. It could mean something is not cool. It could also mean a person that is a boy likes another boy. He just said...Oh okay, that makes sense. I am glad he stopped there. I have not given him the birds and the bees talk. I am not about to talk to him about gay people consumate their relationship. I was spared. Phew!!

Another weird moment, I was coming home and on my way in to the house. A guy just whips it out and starts to pee in the middle of the sidewalk. I had to side step him to get to the house. I am glad I was on the phone with Sonrisa. It was an ackward situation to say the least, but I could ignore him as I am on the phone. It is was just not cool.

Other than that...I have been biking in to work. I have also been peachy. Still thinking about all those other things, but I am really just happy about the place I am in. Life is good. Well...thanks bloggers for stopping by.

Being positive.

I have been biking in to work. It has been working out okay. Except today. I left way late. I did not get a chance to have breakfast. Instead I snacked on a granola bar. I liked them, but I am slowly starting to feel a little hungry. Life in general is good. I had a decent weekend. Some of the highlights. I met my brother's female friend. I got to cook out without really intending to. I ate some quesadillas de ongos con tortillas hechas a mano. In other words, hand made tortilla from scratch with mushroom, green peppers, and onions in a quesadilla. It was the best. A birthday party I did not want to go to was cancelled. I got to see Sonrisa. I did not go to the Taste of Chicago this year.

I have a variety of different themes on my mind. I think I was depressed a couple days ago. It was affected my interaction with clients. Today, I am feeling better and the interactions are much better. I am thinking about death a lot. I love my friends and my relationships I have established with them. I have to really start thinking about buying a home. I am tired of my apartment. I may need to do a carreer change. Okay...I may need to stop thinking. I have some other things on my mind that I am not ready to talk about. jajajajaja!!

The great day update

Why was today such a hard day to get up? Why do my eyes still scream at me for having them open? I roll into the office to be one of the 5 suckers that forgot to request this day. It would have probably not gotten approved. Someone needs to be at the office. I concede the point with my head.

The weekend was a bore. I was supposed to go to Indiana, but that got cancelled. I was happy about that one. I mean really what is there to do in Indiana. So...instead I do nothing at home. JAJAJAJA!!! I had to laugh at that one. We did a cookout on Saturday. Someone took my grill grate. So...here I have my grill fired up, but not actual grate to cook the meat on. I had to improvise. I used another grill grate that was a very ill fit, but it worked. The damn grate did not even cover the whole grill. It was only covered down the middle and that was a small little strip. It was kind of funny. It turns out my brother-in-law took the grate without asking. I mean I found three different grates strewn about the garage. Why didn't he take those? I am not really mad about it. It was just an annoyance. I can't wait to get my own home. I rent.

Sunday was designated to be the day we go to Taste of Chicago. Guess where we went. Oh yeah...nowhere. I was so sad about that one. I was really upset. We spent it just lounging about the house. I went to the park with the kids. My wife just slept. She apologized in the evening. She said she was sorry for not wanting to go anywhere. I think that made me more mad than anything. I eventually played a semi-baseball game with a plush-ball. It was fun. I played with my son, daughter, and brother-in-law. I still won.

Oh crap...now my office smells like someone farted or decided to rot. It is nasty. This is a great day.
