Oh the weekend, it is just a memory now for me. You see I don’t know why but the weekend was a total waste of time. I didn’t do anything productive and that really bothers me but then again most of my weekends are like that so I don’t know why I am complaining. I followed my usual routine, went to bed late and got up even later and as a result I have this nagging headache that won’t go away.
I did watch the best reality show on TV on Sunday. The Amazing Race 13 started and if you have never seen it I highly recommend it to you. There are eleven teams and each year us kids choose 2 or 3 teams a piece depending on how many people are playing. This season we have five people playing so we choose two teams a piece and one is left floating. Since my team won last year I chose first. I am hoping to win again this season but we are going to have to wait and see, where is the aspirin?.
Here is something I know for sure you didn’t know about me because I haven’t mentioned it in my About page, I forgot I don’t have one of those. I should start to work on that, anyway. Once upon a time I used to draw a lot and became good at it, I drew mostly stuff I was interested in like cartoons and my own graphic designs but was never ever good at drawing realistic looking faces. At some point I stopped drawing and every time I try to do it now I just suck at it. Some practice and I could become a decent draw…..er, is that the word I am looking for, again I suppose.
And that is why I have been thinking of designing logos for my blogs. I already have some great ideas but thinking and doing are two different things and unless I start to work on them this will be just another post. I think I have some old drawings laying around somewhere, at some point I might scan some of them and let you see my artistic abilities, that made me laugh and I don’t know why.
I was doing my laundry the other day and I suddenly realized that some of my pants are starting to rip and some of my T-shirts look like they have been washed one time too many. Pants I really have to get but my shirts look damn cool if you ask me. In fact they look like some destroyed shirts I have seen online but I do need to get me some new ones as well. I also need a new jacket or two, cold months not too far away, and new shoes and socks to go with the jacket or jackets of course and lets not go into those unmentionables. I better start saving some money or better yet I’ll just put it on my credit card.
I usually go shopping for clothes every six months, don’t ask me why, usually in January and July. I stick to my schedule tightly but I do make an exception when I see something I really like. When I am shopping for my stuff I don’t like to waste time,I get what I need and I am out the door I am a guy after all. But if my sister or brother are the ones shopping then I don’t mind walking around and looking at all the pretty women, not at all.
The question remains, am I going to go shopping or do I wait for my scheduled time?, it all depends on how fast and how big those rips get. Either way I’ll let you know.
The weekend was another one of those do nothing weekends for me. I didn’t do that much when it comes to house related stuff. I did play a lot of Call of Duty 4, watched TV and surfed the net and that was that.
Saturday I watched Big Trouble in Little China, that is one fun movie that I enjoy watching every time. I also watched the game between that four time champion DC United and the LA Galaxy. It was a good game, the Galaxy has not played that good in a while and my team, I am not going to say anything because it will just upset me but I will tell you that the final score was 5-2 in favor of the Galaxy. I then played some COD 4 to forget about the game, ok that is not true at all, and went to bed late.
I woke up at about 2pm on Sunday, took a shower got some food and then sat in front of the TV. I watched the Matrix and I was just hoping that they would give the three movies straight but that wasn’t the case so I had to settle for the first, a very good movie. I played some more COD 4, surfed the net and then went to bed late, again.

in Futbol
Futbol season is almost over and as you know I have been playing fantasy Futbol. I should have written an update midway through the season but since I didn’t I thought that now would be a good time.
I am currently ranked 4738 with 1868 points (top team has 3246 points) as I write this post and that is not where I want or wanted to be when the season first started. My goal was to be in the top 100 and for a while I was climbing nicely and made it to the 2300 hundreds if I remember correctly but then things started to head south fast and so far have not been able to recover.
My best picks so far
- My Goalkeeper John Busch from the Chicago Fire with 545 points in 1st place.
- My best Defender Michael Harrington from the Kansas City Wizards with 112 points and in 3rd place.
- My best midfielder Christian Gomez from the Colorado Rapids with 86 points and in 13th place.
- My best Forward Kenny Cooper from FC Dallas with 274 points and in 1st place.
- My coach Steve Nicol from the New England Revolution with 249 points and in 2dn place.
As you can see I did pretty well with many of my picks. The best picks I made were for Goalkeeper and Forwards which include Edson Buddle from the LA Galaxy in 3rd place with 244 points, Luciano Emilio form DC United in 4th place with 232 points and Chad Barrett from Toronto FC in 8th place with 155 points. One more Fantasy Futbol update as soon as the season is over.
Let me tell you a story, I was just minding my own business yesterday when I remember that I had a 2 liter bottle of Hawaiian Punch that I’d found. I went and got it and sat in front of the computer and surfed and drank to try to forget my problems. It took me less than 45 minutes to finish the whole thing and I am telling you it was so sweet. After a couple of trips to the bathroom I started to get a stomach ache and didn’t know why at first but then it hit me. Was it because of the 2 liter bottle of Hawaiian Punch I just had?.
The stomach ache kept getting worse and worse and as soon as I got home I visited the bathroom. Needless to say that is the last time I drink that much Hawaiian Punch again, next time I will only drink one liter and that will be it because I sure don’t want to go through what I just went through. Remember that just because it’s a 2 liter bottle doesn’t mean that you have to drink all of it in one sitting and that is the moral of this painful story.
This weekend was a pretty slow one for me. I didn’t do anything productive to be honest. I watched the game between the four time champion DC United and the FC Dallas on Saturday, it was a good game that my team should have won but it ended in a tie and I wasn’t happy with that result. I played Call of Duty 4 a lot and because of that I went to bed late, that is not news, on Saturday and Sunday. I know I am going to be paying for my lack of sleep sometime today and I am ready for that. I watched the movie Live Free or Die Hard with Bruce Willis, I missed the first 30 minutes so until I see the whole thing I am going to keep quiet and not tell you if the movie was good or bad.
This week looks to be very hot according to the weather report I saw so I am going to enjoy it as much as I can but now it’s time to go back to work and even though I don’t want to I have to, so sad.
Let me tell you a story, I was at work yesterday on the first floor of my building just having a grand old time, the way I always try to, when I realized that I’d forgotten something. On the way back to the elevator this thought came to my mind. What if I find this girl I like on the way up, she works on the second floor by the way, to the third floor.
I go in, I press the third floor button and up I went. The door opened and I expected to be on the third floor but lo and behold I am on the second floor going halfway out the door when she is standing there coming in. I quickly realized that I was on the second floor and quickly got back in with the girl I was just thinking of finding on my way up, coincidence?.
She talks to me and makes a couple of comments about my hair, bad hair day you know, and beard, too lazy to shave, and I was so caught off guard by what was happening that I didn’t have a single good answer to the comments. The elevator reaches the third floor and instead of escorting her to the floor she was going to the way a gentleman would I stepped right out and have not stopped thinking about the whole thing since.
Today there is an education fair going on at work and I am ready to check it out. The reason I bring that up is because when I was on my 16 day vacation I did a lot of thinking. I mostly thought about quitting my current job. It’s not that I don’t like my job, in fact I enjoy my job a lot but the sad part about it is that honestly I don’t see myself getting ahead there. I have been looking for job openings closer to home and there are a few that I found only three blocks from where I live with better pay and just a bit better benefits. I have gone as far as getting my resume and cover letter ready but have not pulled the trigger yet and I don’t know why.There are a couple of careers that I think would be lots of fun and very rewarding but with a job and a part time job (my blogging) I sure don’t have the time to go for either one. But I get weekends off you say, true but that is when I unwind and try to forget about work and for the record I do work on my part time work some times over the weekends as you know. It all comes down to this, sometimes if you want something really bad you are ready and willing to sacrifice to reach that goal and it sure doesn’t feel like I am ready or willing to reach mine, enough said.
The weekend was a very nice but kinda slow one, I am not complaining about that by the way.I didn’t do that much and that is not news but you see I had some plans but in the end I decided to take it easy instead.
The days were sunny and oh so nice and the nights were a bit on the cool side but that is ok I spent most of my time indoors anyway. I watched a single Futbol game, I played some Call of Duty 4 and surfed the net and that was basically it. A very slow weekend for me and that is ok, you need them every once in a while.
