Kids: IV

So, I've been listening to MGMT's new album, Congratulations, and can say I'm quite fond of it so far. So far I've reached a twelve minute song called "Siberian Breaks", I'm still listening to the album whilst typing this up, so it's a bit challenging for me to appreciate.

and my girlfriend JUST broke up with me (whilst writing this)

ok, I won't let that phase me, and will continue to write. Man this is a long song... I've watched both of the Twilight films (well listened to, more accurately), and I wouldn't be surprised if Stephanie Myers decided to include "I Found A Whistle", in one of her next films. In fact I'd be more surprised if she didn't. The whole time I was listening to the song, that's the only thing I could think of, "Damn that would sound good in a Twilight movie"

Well I didn't have a certain direction for this post, but I must admit, that this month has been a rather disappointing month for my blog, including this post, I believe there were only 7 posts, as compared to before when I tried to update everyday. But oh well, that's life for ya.

I'm listening to the song "Lady Dada's Nightmare", and it's putting me in quite an unwholesomely gloomy mood.

By the way if you haven't watched this video, like every other self respecting internet citizen, do yourself a favor:

I've been feeling quite sick as of late, still do. There is something in the air, that I'm pretty sure my sister infected me with, but I'm doing better. I've been sipping on room temperature V8 juice all day, and that's let me swallow things easier, so my throat isn't in pain anymore.



kay goodnight,

love luis :)

Pastimes of Another Life

I ordered through the drive-thru at Burger King, and found out that there was a tomato recession. Great :)
~~~
Man, life's been so fast as of late, I'm just glad that I've found enough time to just sit down, and take a breather.


~~~
Ok, so I'm not under any kind of influence or anything, but I've been having lots of thoughts, so I'm just going to close my eyes, and start typing whatever comes to my head, and see where it goes.
~~~
So I really like my new job. It's pretty neat, I get to drive all the new Toyota's and stuff that need maintenance. I called my father, and he old me "Son, that's the effectiveness of prayer, trust God, his ways are higher", and in a way he was right. Before I applied for the job, I asked him to pray for it. Pray taht I get it, and sure enough I did. I guess that goes to show you taht if you really want something, the universe will align itself for you to make it happen.

An example would be this past Friday, I of just went from none thing to another. Nothing at all was rushed. I had all the time i needed in the world. You know, I used to think that you needed to play with your fate a bit. Be risky. Be dangerous. To really enjoy the heck out of life, but there is just something so, perfect really, is all I can think, of just living in the moment. Even the very slow ones. Especially the slow ones. Lost in a moment. An insignificant moment, endlessly momentous. I also get that feeling when I'm by myself listening to the "Trans-Europe Express" album by Kraftwerk.

I can't seem to recall how I found out about Kraftwerk. For that matter, much of the music that I listen to comes to me by some fated channel. I'll have a sputter of inspiration, and go looking for something. I don't always really know for what, but I know when I find it.

It seems the universe has a way of satisfying my peculiar fondness for odd things. I've been asked, "Luis this is brilliant, How do you find this stuff?" (Ok that first part I made up) but to be quite honest, it finds me.

I really wish I had started blogging a long time ago. I had a rich history that I wish I could of chronicled in some seemingly concrete way. My memories will have to do. (By the way I read an article online somewhere theorizing about the possibility of digitalized thoughts, weird stuff. But that's irrelevant to where I'm going with this.)

Even if it's not South America, I see myself traveling again to a faraway land. Many perhaps. It almost feels like a natural instinct, something is urging, calling for me. I'm just waiting for timing to be just right. I'll feel it. I'll know it, when it comes.

There are lots of places I want to go. China, Puerto Rico, I want to ride a train all through Europe, Japan, Australia, like I'm just thinking of all the different people I'm going to be meeting.

I want to meet the guy from the Dance Floor Dale video. He looks like a modern gentleman.

I remember I titled this blog post the way I did, because I was thinking about past lives, and like what my hobbies would of been. Like I wonder what I inherited, and what I tossed away. Did I even have a past life? Am I a new soul? Or an old one? There are times I feel like an old soul. And it comes out every once in a while, when I give advice. But I could have easily just inherited that from my dad.

It's weird. Growing up, I was a child of two very different parents. My dad, who was kind of the protector figure, and the stable one. And then on the other end, was my mom. A child at heart, free as a bird, quick to adapt. I think that's why they had to be together. They had lessons to learn from each other. I'm so glad that they are both still alive, and in my life in some way or another. From my dad I learn about stability, and the importance of simply having a roof over my head. And then from mom, I learned how to love. How to have fun, be adventurous.

I wonder if I'm all together sometimes, but I realize that some of the pieces have changed places, some aren't even there anymore. It's like weather in Florida, she can be nice, but she can also be a real biotch. The world My world is... changing.

trap it, don't flap it

goodnight :)

A Prequel to Fatherhood

I've had one of the busiest weekends in forever. I feel like I'm finally aligning with the cosmos. After I've been talking with Holly for days now, we finally got to go out on a couple dates last Friday. I got to spend some quality time on Bradenton Beach, and Marina Jack. I enjoyed the slow parts. Getting lost. All of it really. I also am in the finishing stages of applying at a Toyota dealership. I'd be a porter, if everything works out well. I'd tag cars for service when they come in, and move cars around the lot. So I'm excited for that. Tomorrow, I'll take a drug test, and they've been running a background check on me over the weekend, so it'll be all good when they hire me :)



For the remainder of the weekend, I took care of Kali Elizabeth Diamond's little brother Sebastian. Taking care of him, gave me a very rare glimpse into what it would be like to be a father. Even though I think of him more as MY own little brother, I never got to have, the thought crossed my mind, that ideally when the time comes for me to have a son, I wouldn't mind if he turned out like Sebastian. In fact, he reminds me of my younger self in many ways. I was not tame (still aint) at all. Sebastian is the explorer type, very very curious. We spent the Saturday on the beach, flying a kite. Just there was something so simple about it. Not to mention the several times he fell asleep on me.

I'm feeling more and more like a MAN.

goodnight :)

Dreams from Last Night

So in order to use the wi-fi where I live now, I have to go outside, where I get better signal, so I'm going to make this post as quick as possible. I had a really neat idea, and I'm sure it's already out there, but you know how, there is the site Texts From Last Night, and people put text messages they recieved from the night prior, for the world to read, well my idea is sort of similar. It would be called 'Dreams from Last Night', and people could anonymously put up their dreams if they wanted to, for visitors to read, rank, interperet, whatevers. I think it'd be a real hit. Because I have the luxury of my laptop, I am able to immediately wake up and write down my dreams as quick as possible, so I want to share my dreams that I had for the past three days. I actually haven't had the opportunity to read these yet, so do enjoy:)

You know, I really like sharing these dreams with you, so occasionally I might put up some of them for you kiddos to read. So the move went rather well, and all is good. And it kind of works out well too, I won't be able to see everyone everyday, like the good ol' days, but when I do, OH YEEAH! I think I'm the kind of person that you wouldn't want to be around 24-hours a day (because you'd probably not have much sanity left), but in controlled busrts, and doses, I can be quite effective. Whatever that means.

Success, Satiable

Many apologies for not writing this past week. I've been waiting for some things to come through before I begin to write about them, but I guess I'll share them anyways. This past week, I got a job interview at The Fresh Market, which was very exciting. I applied for a job at the Deli there, and have yet to hear back from them. I called this morning, and they told me that the job spot was still vacant, so there is still hope. On Friday, I'll be moving, which is a little weird, because I'll be moving again in May. So the house is really a mess, and we'll be giving away furniture, namely our dining set. So if you're interested, get at me :)

So, The Fresh Market called me back this morning, and I didn't get the position I applied for. Tomorrow, I'm moving. I'll be moving closer to Whole Foods Market in Sarasota, so I'll put in an application there once we move. Em, again sorry for not writing, and keeping you guys up to date. Em, I'm trying to rid myself of the internet alias "Thekockyroach". It has finally dawned upon me, that it quite frankly sounds offensive, and misleading. Especially if it is to be associated with me. So I've already switched out my twitter and my facebook usernames, now I'm really just googling for the rest.

I remember when I first had thunk of "Thekockyroach", it was the last week of middle school, and it was so peculiar sounding, I adopted the name as mine own.

I'm going to try my best to be in Bradenton this weekend, and hang with all my friends, so stay on the lookout for that :)
