Finally Moved in

Well I finally moved into my new apartment. The place is not as nice as the old, but at least the rent is cheaper with utilities included. My girlfriend is out of town at the moment so that sucks. In the meantime, just school and the kids. It is nice that I have been able to spend time with them now after the “incident”. Ramses is getting so big. I still can’t believe he’s talking, and Jasmin is so silly just like her big brother. Sad that she got my big ears, but she is so pretty.

The Summer Semester is wrapping up, and I need to get on point with these papers. So every night this week I’m not with my kids, I’ll be at the library most likely working on something. That’s it for now.

Updates, Updates, Updates…

Well as always it has been a minute. I got my new PC up and running which great, but still no bucket, but hey Rome wasn’t built in a day or so they say. ATthe moment, I’m just chilling listening to some cafe del Mar cds, with my first born napping on my bed. I should typing up this take home exam for my Life After Death course, but Gilgamesh just isn’t fun enough. Other than that I really don’t have much to complain about. At the moment, I’m trying to scrounge up money for a couple of projects: 1. Milwaukee trip so the family can see the babies just before Thanksgiving, 2. Buy a car, 3. Thats secret (will be shared around the end of summer 2009).

Other than that life is good with its normal ups and downs. I’ve also started going back to church, a Roman Catholic church. Granted some of the ideas I don’t agree with, but that’s between me and God. Other than that Ramses is healthy and so is Jasmin. I’ll start filling up my Picasa album so friends and family can see the 2 lil wild ones. That’s it for now, people. Peace, Beats, and CoCoWheats. Oh and a shout out to all my Miltown fam, we may not speak, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love ya.

Somethings change for the worse…

Well as of late, I’m not with my kid’s mom anymore and I live on my own (well sorta, I have a roommate). It’s hard sometimes because I’m so used t being around the babies al the time, and that’s not the case anymore with seperate living conditions. So everytime I get to be with my babies I cherish it because who knows when it will be the last time (other than the Good Lord). I finally got a cellphone back up and running again so folks can get at me, for stuff.

Other than that the AssistMKE Project s just that, a project. A friend of mine was suppose to be pushing it for me, but doubt that it’s happening so I’ll have to manually hit up people without getting cursed at as a spammer or scammer trying to make money (even though it is a free site). I’m still trying to pay off this hold so I can get back in and finish my degree, but that looks bleaker and bleaker with child support coming to rob me. Granted I’m all about supporting my kids, but come on certain things don’t cost that much, but hey I just have to come up with a rebuttal for the amount. Or at least delay the full cost til later this year or something.

Other than that, or as my sister would say, “It could be worse” (I love ya, Tina). SO I am blessed to have a job that has decent pay and work with some decent folks.

Today seems to be dragging for some odd reason, maybe it’s just the energy here in the workplace or me coming to realization about people. Most likely a mixture of the 2. The music I’ve been listening to today reflects the mood as well, or as someone would say “depressing”. AT the moment “These Hard Times” is playing on my Chromatic, while I look for something else with a similar theme to play and help me get through the day, and allow me to run this feeling out of me.

I’ve been back in the gym, and running, and that shit is whooping my ass. As I said before, the Army would be disappointed, but I’ll get back to my old self, or close to it at least. Trying to cook my meals more, and even for lunch eat more soups and water instead of regular soda and such. Even cut back on snacks (those couple bags of chip at the house are getting dusty). Well I’ll end the session for now, I promise I’ll be back sooner than later.

AssistMKE Project Up…sorta

Been working on the AssistMKE Project. I want it to be a portal of information where people ca go to get information since most sites that offer inofrmation are either a pain to find or just not updated. So I felt that if I start this then I can help folks back in the Brew City and still be in Tampa. Other than that, I’m still trying to find a place to move out. So finally back out on my own, thus ease up th edrama between my kid’s mom and I, and then I foccus on my babies, school, and work. Well I gots to get back to work.

The Weekend is here…

Well nothin really to post. Just chillin now watching the Magic game, they’re down 83-78. These refs are showing no love for Dwight Howard. Cat is getting fouled nasty by McDyess and the rest of the Piston team. The Pistons are just being dirty and beating up these guys pretty nasty. Other than that nothing else really.

On the grind with MHF2…

Well I bought a Red God of War PSP, and Monster Hunter Freedon 2. This game is insanely addicting. Wel back to the real world, just wanted to say that snippet.

I’m currently watching Curent Television. If you don’t what it is, check out Current.com. Pretty much it is a website and Channel that showcases nothing but pods about a range of things from serious issues like wars to entertainment like local rock bands. Everyday I try to watch it because they usually show some great pods that show you life in another city or region that is not really portrayed in the scope of the major news networks, or they give a more objective detailed account of specific new stories.

The pod that is on my mind atm is called Poor Wayward Whale, and it;s about an Orca that went away from it’s pod, and stayed around Vancouver Island. The local community took the whale in as the “People’s Whale”. The local Native American community took it to heart because days before their chief passed, he states that he would like to be back as an Orca, I think they say Korkoa.

People started to become attached and the Dept. of Fisheries and Wildlife decided to step in escort the whale back to it’s pod, but it came back. The video was great, but sadly the orca died from a propellar from a tug boat killed it instantly. It’s sad, but what is crazy (nt really) is that we can have connections to animals beyond the scope of everyday “society”, but in a spiritual level that is more fulfilling than attending Sunday mass.

Other than that, my babies are doing fine. My son does have a fever, I hope he can go back to school and have fun with friends. As for me its back to work tomorrow. Well that’s all for now, I wanted to write a lot more, but I think I’ll sparse it out in asome future blog posts.

Peace Ya’ll.

It’s been a minute…as usual

Hey People, I apologize, I’ve been waning to post but will end up doing something else like play Fallout 3 or WoWbots. Well this past Jan. 5, I had my beautiful daughter Jasmin. She’s a blessing just like my Ramses.  Other than that, in a month I’m going home for a lil bit for a 10 year high school reunion, which is good because I get to go back home for a bit and recharge by seeing friends and family which I’m in desperate need of doing. Other than that, I don’t anything has really been extravagant to put out other than we finally elected our first Black President. Granted he’s mix, but with all the rules in books he’s Black so that’s great, but it’s going to fix anything. Anyways, nto other stuff.

Lately, I’ve been blowing up on Coldplay hard. First it was Clocks, then Talk, the Viva La Vida, then the Speed of Sound, and now the song that I’m jonesin on is Warning Signs. Song is great especially in regards to dealing with ex-lovers. Granted I’m not running back to any of them because they’re all better off with out me, but its a good song.

Well that’s all for now I guess. Give Warning Signs a peep or Coldplay in general.

Peace, and if the Good Lord is willing I’ll throw another up. Oh Jasmin, and Ramses I’ll always love you.

The new gig…

Well the Fall semester is over, and now I work full time for my employer USF Health IS. I work phone support, not my best suite, but it pays the bills and the people here are great. The clients on the other hand, can be not that great. ANyways, so with everything happening, I’ve gotten back to listening to music like mad here at work, and figured out that “Summer Madness” is my favorite song of all time. It’s just so mellow and smooth. Some commented on it saying that “you could play and just forget your pain…for awhile” and that is so true. The track is classic by Kool and the Gang. IMO, there best track, not Celebration or Fresh, but Summer Madness. Here’s the link, peep, and chill.

 

Shit wish I had some Henn. about now to sip and chill.

 

Well enjoy and Peace ya’ll. I’ll drop another if the Lord alllows it.

Just one of those moods, I guess…

I feel down again today. Granted I have a full time gig where I work and I’m grateful for. The job is easy and the people are cool to work with, but I’m not in school and my paycheck is going to get delayed so that sucks. What else sucks is that its Christams, so there will be very little gifts. Granted people will understand but as a daddy, this should not have happened. Again maybe it’s just one of those days.

In response to this I’ve been rocking out “Viva La Vida” all day, in my opinion it seems that it talks to me in my own realm of things. To me the song means that we all fall and have to answer to God no matter where we are in life. The is depressing in it’s own right, but its like it helps me get through where I am at. Here’s the video to the song so you can hear it.

Also apparently these stole the production from a NYC based group, sad that a group like Coldplay would do that, but the song is still great.

Happy Late Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas

That’s right mofos, I said it. Christmas. Christ-mas. I’m Christian, thus why I celebrate the Holiday, not because I spent hours upon hours in lines for lame ass products that my kids will maybe play with or I’ll sell on Craigslist within a month, but because I believe in Christ for what he did. Now, with my faith being open, I have total respect for other faiths such as Islam, Judaism, Hindu, Wiccans, you get the pic. I’m just tired of the politcal correctness crap that everyone is doing. If a commercial came on saying for Muslims to enjoy  Ramadan, and praise Allah, I’d say “About time!”, same for the Jewish. Instead of “trying” to please everyone by not stating faith why don’t we as a nation of immigrants (or descendants of immigrants) celebrate everyone’s faith by just being open, instead of this close minded crap we see everyday.

The shit gets old. Real old, this isn’t the Spanish Inquisition, or some other BS reason to hunt or shit on others whose faith differs from our own. It is a time to celebrate each other, and each other’s faith. I’m not saying that everyone needs to attempt to fast during Ramadan or lights candles during a specific Jewish holiday, but accept that each faith in its own right is special, mystical, and just like your tries to bring peace, love, and honor to one’s chaotic life. So in closing enjoy your holiday(s) what ever they are, and Peace, Rhymes, and Life (throw faith in the mix too)

My son Ramses, wanted t add this:
