Technically this will be my last post of 2009. As I enter this new decade, I can only wonder what the next couple years will be like for me. Will I go back to school? Will I go to South America? Will I fall in love? Where will I live? What am I ever going to do?
I find it peculiar that I am updating my blog tonight, not from the comfort of my own abode, but in the company of my good friend Michael Lamb. I owe him more than anyone of my friends. I decided to stay the night here, at his house to save him money on gas.
On our way here, he noticed something very peculiar in the sky. There was, what looked like a ring or halo around the moon. I immediately began texting and calling pretty much as many people as I could on my phone. My friend Julio told me that he looked it up, and it's pretty much just an optical illusion. But for the 10-15 people I called, and was able to share that moment with, thank you. I found an article confirming what Julio has told me, so it's legit. It's something called a Moon Halo.

I want to reminisce on everything that's happened this past year, but I feel to do so, would take away from what I have to look forward to this upcoming year. With a new year, and a new decade, come opportunities. Some fated, some peculiar, and some chance. I look forward to what I will be offering others, and remain hopeful for this new year.
Tonight, I OWNED Bradenton, Fl.
Myself, and some friends ate out at Nam Fong tonight. Normally this isn't a big deal, but if you live here, you would know that Nam Fong is pretty much the best food on the planet, hands down, and that it gets very very busy. Tonight, we had the restaurant to ourselves. It was just the six of us. I found it very nice of them to do that for us, and want to give them some cyber-space love.
(Not that they need it, of course)
Like the movie AVATAR, eating at Nam Fong is a life changing experience. If you haven't already, give me a call, and I will personally take you there, on me. Everything on the menu is made from scratch, and the prices are very fair. In fact, I am pretty sure they haven't changed their prices since they've opened, many years ago. Like the only thing I'd cry fowl about is that they only accept cash. No plastic, or checks. Being small and local, I can understand why. The food is to die for. You forget that you are eating a meal at a restaurant, it feels like home. Highly, highly recommend. Especially if you live in the Manatee County area.
Onto other things. Exciting news. Very exciting news concerning this blog. I want to start updating my blogs with simple videos. If I'm not in the mood to write, or I just want to say something more personally, this is a great way to do that. In the past, I tried doing video on my other blog (that I don't update anymore), from my webcam, but found the quality to be too cumbersome to work with. So I'll be getting a Flip Video Camera pretty soon. I can't say when though, because I am waiting for something to happen, but when that front clears I'll let you guys all know. Of course this is most definitely not a professional camera of any sort, but for these purposes, it will suffice.
Michael's been killing zombies for the past couple hours, so I hope he sleeps well, but I'll try and get my three Z's in. It's so crazy that even after a month that I've been away from California, that my body clock is still messed up. I think I'm going to take my buddy Nick's advice, and force my body to sleep every four hours, till I can get my sleep groove back on.
Tunak Tunak Tun!!!
Much love, Luis.
See you next year

It is not what we do that causes us to suffer; it is the disconnection between what we do and what we should do.
Today, get going on one thing you know you need to do in order to be happy but haven't done due to procrastination.
