LA
I have been reading my horoscope lately and it seems to be true. It said that I had been hibernating. Waiting. Passing time with work and keeping busy. And I have been. I've been reading, thinking and wondering. See I've been doing all these things but not truly living. I have just been doing time. And its time to stop that. Its time to get excited again. To re-evaluate my goals and to work on my dreams- cause I have so many ideas. I want to work on Voz and furniture and paintings- I want to get Voz out there and get into the swapmeet. I also want the guys who live down the street from me- the ones who ride the lowrider bikes- to wear my shirts on the website. I will have to try to talk with them.
On that note- does anyone want to pose for pictures for Voz? If you live in the Orange County or LA or Southern Cali area and you are interested- let me know.
Andrew and my mom
Happy Birthday to my mom (pictured here with my little brother Andrew). We had a great dinner at Habana last night ( I am still craving plantains). Everyone had fun and I must say that they make kickass mojitos.
To my momma who is strong, a care giver, a leader, and funny; have a good day and the rest of your birthday week.

Its time for me to work hard. Its time for me to get my ass moving on things. I want to do so many things. Its all talk until I finally do it. For starters, I have just finished painting a corner of my room with chalkboard paint and I have gold leafed a dozen frames that will go on my wall too. Then I really need to work on Voz business and more furniture. Too bad they are going to start construction at my house. But I vow not to let it slow me down, man.
P.S. I got some kickass records on Ebay. Now I am just waiting for them to come in the mail- Blondie, Prince, and Tom Petty.

I have been away awhile. I know. My grandma passed away. The one I live with. The one I lived with. I flew Friday the 6th to Chicago and got a phone call from my mom on Saturday morning- the 7th. She was gone. I got on the earliest plane possible on a busy Saturday, which was 7pm and was delayed and delayed until I got into Orange County at 11 pm. And its been a whirlwind ever since.
I was in my own bed last night for the first time in a couple of weeks and that felt good. I had a little talk with my grandma. I told her that I was proud of her, that I loved her and that I was glad that she was happy. I hope she tells my dad that I love him and miss him.
I have no regrets with my grandma- only that I wish I had been there on Saturday morning. She had a long and full life. She was ready. But I am selfish still- I miss her and wish she was here. But this time around- its a little easier. I can be happy for her and thats a good feeling.
Why does my cousin Aray look like he is choking Em's dog? Perhaps cause he is just mean like that...
Ok, so I didn't get to my resolutions yet. Maybe I should make a resolution to make some resolutions- yeah I am terribly clever- amazing isn't it?
But on to other things- did I mention that I got some really kickass presents for Christmas this year? My mom got me a cool portable record player and that has opened up a whole other world for me. The world of crate digging. If I wasn't so busy- I would be at Amoeba Records all day just checking the bins to see if they had any new bargains. My sister and cousins and I went the other day and in 40 minutes I got: Cyndi Lauper, Billy Joel, Aerosmith, Prince, Pat Benetar, America, Stevie Wonder and Blondie for $30. I fear this may be a problem...
Has it really been so long since I have blogged. I guess it has. Life is pretty busy during the Holidays. And I am getting ready to take a trip to Chicago where I hope I can take some cool pictures, try not to freeze and have some fun with my cousins.
I feel like New Years went so fast. I haven't even made any resolutions. I hope to do so tonight. In the meantime, here is a site that I have been feeling Spoon Fed Art.
