Have you ever had a Love like this
Last night i was reminiscing about the old school New Wave Days with Abby. I even made a mix last night for her cause I was bored. It was fun listening to all the old tunes of Erasure, Bad Boys Blue, and Depeche Mode to name a few groups. Who can remember Warren Rigg, Blue System, and many other groups of that genre. Something to think about....
DAILY RECAP:
Tuesday:
Messed around on the turntables, made a ghetto New Wave Mix for Abby.

The Happiest Turning Point in my life YET!!!!!
I AM THE
LUCKIEST GUY
IN THE WORLD.
I have never been more happier than I have been this past week. I am filled with happiness, joy, love, appreciation, respect. Basically 10 times more happier than I have EVER been. The emptiness in my life, for the first time, has been filled. I am entering into a new tangent in my life for the better. Nothing will ever make my glow disappear. Words cannot even describe how I am feeling. It's WAY beyond words. It's something that you would just have to see for yourself. I have goosebumps. I AM HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY. I don't think I could ever wipe the smile off my face ever again. No more sad thoughts, just the excitement of what's to come, the mystery of what's going to unfold, and the history that is about to be written. If you don't know why already, ask me and I'll tell you!

Yes I am Alive :)
Sorry everybody I haven't been around lately, or returning your calls or answering your emails. But yes I am around, mostly I have been keeping to myself. Please be patient with me, all things will get better.
Another great poem from my friend Andy.
If
by Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!
DAILY RECAP:
Friday 2/27:
Helped Liz and Eugene move from their old condo to their new townhouse. it took about a good 8 hours to move. Talk about an awesome pad!!!! After moving the stuff, Michelle and I chilled there to help organize the stuff, while Eugene and Rijay went to return the truck and Liz and her sister went to get loose ends at the old condo. Michelle and I got Buffalo Joe's for everybody for dinner. Marisa stopped by the new place and we just sat and hung out for a few hours. Marisa left for Kevins, Liz, Eugene, Michelle, Rijay, and I head to Jem's going away party at JoyBlue. JoyBlue is a pretty cool place, nice and quaint. It's something new, something different. I saw all the old school crew there, like Nancy, Jane, Saq, Eddie. It was a fun night! Then afterwards Rijay and I tried to go to Betty's Blue Star Lounge but they wouldn't let Rijay in cause of his gym shoes.
Saturday 2/28:
Chilled at home studying for a CCNA quiz. Joe came over. We hung out and then he drove me to my quiz. After the quiz we went shopping at Best Buy and then stopped by Jem's House for our final farewell. Then went over to Juanito's. I got changed at Juanito's and then Tom picked me up and we went to visit Becky and Jason and hung out with them for a bit. Jason is one intuiging individual. Then we finally got to Visions. We met up with everybody there. It was a fun night as always!. Juanito and I decided to go over to my friend Gia's for an afterhours and saw like Kat and Chris there. Randy and Manny came and chilled too. Randy was flagging in the dark with the blacklights on. It was awesome!

Chilled at Juanito's all day, slept and stuff. Then Gen, Oliver, and I went to Crobar. Crobar was an AWESOME time. We met up with Joel and Randy there. We then hung out with Mandy and Xavier afterwards, and I finally started to learn to flag. It was great!
Monday 3/01: Randy's Unlucky Day
All morning Randy and I were driving around and Randy's car kept dying.....It sucked. Everywhere we stopped it would take like 30 minutes to get the car running again. It sometimes died in the middle of an intersection....oops. So we finally get to my house. We eat McDonald's. Rose comes over. Randy sifts through the basement. We both sit and look through like 10000 records looking for the old house and happy hardcore crates. To no avail we give up and then Randy has to go home. Rose and I were gonna go watch Passion of the Christ. Alas Randy's car does not start again. After an hour we get it started and then it dies at the end of the block. Randy decides to leave the car at my house overnight til he figures out what to do. So then I end up not going to the movie, but driving Randy home. It was a very frustrating day for Randy.

I finally decided to reformat the computer.
