I haven’t made up my mind yet on what I’m getting my lady. The problem is that what I like, I can’t afford and what I can afford, I don’t like. I’m afraid I’m gonna hae to save up some more to get the ring that I feel she really deserves. In any case, I know there’s nowhere else I’ll be shopping for that ring but Manhattan.

What do you think?

“To the low life bastard who stole my flowers. I hope they use them at your funeral”

TOO FUNNY!!!!

Last night my car was broken into, in my driveway, by someone who looks like they were trying to just make off with it. Probably one of those dudes who want to become a millionaire overnight but doesn’t want to earn it. I never thought this was something that could happen in my neighborhood!

See, I’m the type of person who’s constantly waking up at night to either go to the bathroom, or pee, or check if everything is alright. So last night I woke up in the middle of the night, went to the kitchen, and just took a peek out the window, for no reason.

That’s when I found out that my passenger door was open. Since it was raining, I cursed under my breath and thought that Kris had left it open when I gave him my keys to go get my cell phone that I had forgotten in the car. So I went to get my keys, put on something so I don’t get wet, and when I stepped out, that’s when I realized what had happened.

My front passenger window had been broken, so the thief could get into the car. There was glass all over the seat, which was soaked too. A real mess. All the interior lights were on, the radio was playing, the heat was on, I mean whoever was in the car made themselves real comfortable!

They ripped out the ignition thingy (I don’t know what it’s called). It’s the actual part where you stick the key in to start the car. They took it out and I found it on the floor. I don’t know if they were trying to hotwire the car or something similar, although from what I’ve seen in movies the hotwiring is done somewhere under the wheel, but I don’t know jack about those things.

Anyway I looked through all my stuff, and nothing was missing. Absolutely nothing, even not the change I usually leave in the coin drawers. I had books, sneakers, clothes, all of it was still there. Even my CD changer was there. That’s why I think they weren’t interested in anything that was in the car. My baby was going to get stolen and sold part by part.

I did file a police report and insurance claim, but I’m going to be without a car for a couple days, which really pisses me off. It also saddens me that my neighborhood, that used to be so safe, is going downhill real fast: a car was broken into, just like mine, one street down.

This police officer just took me to the cleaners. Now I have to make a court appearance. Not to mention that the ticket is really expensive, plus it cost me points on my drivers license.

Just a stupid thing I did, and that bit me in the ass

First of all, I’ve never been much of an athlete, and I honestly didn’t have to be. When I was younger I was downright skinny, no matter how much food I ate. So I got into the habit of eating whatever I want whenever I want.

A couple decades later, things don’t quite work the same way, and I’ve seen myself gain weight and reach 185 lbs. for the first time in my life. I’m 5′6″, so this was not a good sign.

I called three gyms in my neighborhood: a Bally’s, a dojo that has a gym, and a “fitness center”. The latter was the only one where I actually got to talk to someone who really knew what they were talking about and made me want to pay them an in-person visit. The dojo put me on hold indefinitely; the Bally’s had me leave my contact info so someone could call me back.

So I went to the fitness center, and I liked what I saw. Nice mix of people, lots of equipment, tidy & well-kept environment. I really liked it and I signed up on the spot.

Now here comes the hard part: going at least 4 times a week

I don’t even see the point in changing the title of that post, it really says what I feel right now, trying out this blogging thing that everyone seems to be doing.

I don’t really know what I’m going to talk about, but I know I’m mostly going to be talking about things that happen in my life, or things that make it on the news, or things that are just too outrageous to ignore, even if I’m probably the only one who’s going to read my writing.

Well I’m going to call it a day for now. I’m hoping that by tomorrow I’ll have actual stuff to write about.
