Monday and Tuesday, passed and went without no big significance. I watched Final Destination Three, it wasnt as gory as the previous ones but it was a bit engaging and reminded me of my flinch instinct, lol (yes i flinch, cant help it but when something stays still cuz its dead then moves i flinch). The plot line wasnt that interesting anymore, the deaths subpar, still cant believe i paid to see it and didnt want to get it through Netflix which i havent watched my movies, hmm...
I did manage to watch Four Brothers. Awesome vigilante film that really keeps you watching. The characters were believable, the plot always changing, and just a great action movie.
A must see, you completely forget where you have seen the actors before and just accept that they are adopted brothers that are scorned and out for blood, each dealing with the death their own way.
Hopefully, my plans for later this week will happen and wont fall threw. Work is so mundane, we finish early and I just clean out my inbox, I am happy, my work email has been cleaned out and i purged the deleted items too. I cleaned out my desk and put some new pics, new pic of the desk to come soon. I am updating my blog so check. I guess i have to delete my yahoo email accounts of trash and hotmail (good luck on that one).
Maybe I will update my profile since I use a generic one. I think on Friday I will do that.
Gym today through Sunday (hopefully on the weekend I will come, lol, i should).

Guerras getty and today
The party was better than last year. More dancing, more appetizers and better music even though the music was on a loop awesome that she went digital with an ipod and stereo speaker.
The party when I got there was mostly everyone in their clicks talking and drinking. Clearly not a picture of a good party, more of a social. I start drinking and I think my friend told me I started dancing so did everyone else. I just remember grabbing this girl to the dance floor that i didnt know. Afterwards the party was in full swing. More people started dancing, the music was great.
I started to get all perverted with one of my girlfriends there, lifting her, dry humping, smacking her ass, all in good taste ofcourse yeah right. I cant believe how people change when they go off to grad school. I saw two friends there how they changed physically, they got skinner not anorexic just right and commented. Both of them future lawyers must remember that in case of any warrants, lawsuits and other legal action anyone wants to take on me, lol.
Guys pretty much look the same every year like i think its weird guys look hotter than girls in the first phase of life, before mid-life crisis and afterwards women are the hot ones.
How many times you see a dashing actor just make u wet when they are young and later you see him and you are like why did men get pregnant and look like toddlers with no hair?
Its also lifestyle choices, genetics has a strong hand in it also and sometimes environment (where you live).
Afterwards stayed up and went over a Cosmo magazine with Natalie looking at 2007 Astro bedside for Gemini (her sign) and Aquarius (mines) looking at sexual days and love days and whats going to happen. Super funny to read and a great laugh while enjoying our as Barbie says "Taco Hell" lol.
Today, took a shower, picked up our pork, congrie and yuca dinner. Took a nap afterwards. Woke up to eat with my passionfruit wine (you must go to Schneblys Winery in Homestead) which really does go great with pork (had three glasses). Watched Evil Dead and now checking up on my webstuff.
I guess thats it for today, tomorrow a chill day then Tuesday back to the hassle of being a slave for the slave drivers, lol.

thursday/friday
Have been working out with the fitness coach.
Its great and so so working out with her because she really pushes me.
When I am too comfortable with a weight she adds more but when I am struggling she taked it off. She helps me with my form but makes me laugh while lifting the bars or weights.
Shes pretty cool to work with, so glad i got her.
Work has been boring. So in total from work, i got a nice tie, shirt, 2 itunes giftcards, american express giftcard and twenty bucks, i cant help but feel appreciated.
Been just talking with friends on the phone, not going out and also text messages.

aaaachuu
So this cold is really starting to kick my ass but I hope I can make it till sunday to the gym. After that I will rest and sleep through it. I am proud of the progress that now I follow through with my sets and find it easier to grip on the bars and weights. I think sometime this week I might have to go up if not this week, definitely next.
Getting gifts at work, its awesome I may not have patient contact but I feel loved by my coworkers, whether its throught food, a greeting card, clothes or itunes gift card(awesome and didnt expect it).
Work was work. Tomorrow is the xmas party for our suite so cant wait to see that and i have to get dressed for it.
Tomorrows tentative schedule is: gym @ 530am, shower, go get gift when mall opens or get haircut, not sure which to do first, then go to christmas party, then gym afterwards for a class again.
Then home then shopping or who knows still not sure.
or wake up, get dressed, go to Supercuts, then mall then work then gym then who knows.
Yeah this is a pretty empty blog but I want to keep momentum so I have to write. Lol.

copyright infringement/violations and etc
I doubt that my little unvisited blog will get tons of hits but you never know.
And citing the fact that most web users that I from time to time use images from other sources.
I want to go on record that I do my best to cite each persons copyright by keeping their logos, trademarks and even the whole spiel on the bottom as much as i can.
so if something you see on this site now or later is yours, i am not claiming its mines nor making money out of your work and i will resolve it by citing the copyright text, just place a comment in the article where i feature your work.
Work is boring as ever. Going today to kickboxing, hopefully its fun and something that I will enjoy. Then I have to start my workout regime again. Then mi casa to chill.
Its one of those days that drag on for me. Time seems to sit still for the longest. When yesterday I looked at the clock and work was almost done.
Could be because I was busy doing manual labor even though today I was busy too.
Like I promised there goes the picture of my desk. I dont know why the air fresher got placed on my desk again. The nuisance of being the middle desk and next to the copymachine.
Got a cold :( hopefully it will go away. This damn running nose.
Looking at jibjab, lol at what i think is a taylor hicks parody. Must visit for fun times at your convenience. jibjab at msn
To read about the Perez Hilton lawsuit click here from Perez Hilton's site.
Well gotta change for this Kickboxing class apparently you have to show up on time or you are not allowed in.

Work
Today was an ordinary Monday. Coming to work late, running around the place looking for charts, doing internet favors for everyone.
I couldnt go to the gym, didnt have time to pack gym bag this morning. I have to make it up on Saturday though. I like the 5 day a week routine. Really works me out and is perfect for my three month goal to have a toned body.
I organized my desk and fixed it up, put the holiday lunch pictures up, put my calendar in between the pics and arranged my male coworkers desk too since I had time to do it.
I packed away some charts that needed to be sent out.
I will take a snap shoot and put it up here later today.
Watching Crocodile Dundee since again I am too lazy to look for the remote. I feel good got invited to an xmas party, having xmas with my family and have a good set of friends.
I am liking blogging daily again.
I guess ttyl because I have to get ready for bed and have to make it to the gym in the morning.

Time Recognizes me as Person of The Year
Sun Dec 17, 1:46 PM ET
Time magazine unveiled its 'Person of the Year' for 2006 on December 16, 2006, as -- You, the creators and consumers of user-generated Internet content like video-file sharing site YouTube and social network MySpace. Time has been naming its person of the year since 1927 and the tradition has become the source of speculation every year, as well as controversy over unpopular choices such as Adolf Hitler in 1938 and Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979. (Andrew Eccles/TIME Inc./Handout/Reuters)
All I have to say is that you really like me. You really like me :)
Well Congratualtions to each and every one of you.
Yearly Collage
I overslept again and couldnt honor my commitment to the Carnival Center. I will have to make it up sometime during this upcoming week. I think I will change my days to early Saturday afternoon so I could go out afterwards.That dude again contacted me again this time through IM, saying that after everything he hopes I am enjoying my place and who knows how many hookups i have been in since.
I was like omg can this guy be serious. Now its like hurt feelings turning into weird obessesion.
Lets see how long this will last.
Now about the collage, I decided that yearly I will replace my main pic to a collage of different pictures from that year towards the end of the year (and will change it to another pic occassionally but will revert to it) as a way of looking at where I was, who I was with, what I wore how I dressed myself. Well this collage features pics from last year too.
There are pics from when I was still wearing glasses signifying the subtle change of how I cant live without my contacts. Then the dorm pic reminding me of that time when I had my room and space and the fun times I had there. The bedroom pics that I started taking this year and my favorite picture (lower right) which i like the hairstyle yet can never recreate it on my own it just happens and the tan color. The work picture which everyone can tell because of the backdrop of charts and steel, lol.
Well let me get a move on with my day. Later to enjoy my Dexter at ten to see the finale.

dexter spoiler and christian camargo interview
Watch With Kristin
Killer Dexter Scoop! Rudy Dishes on FinaleBy Kristin Veitch Yesterday at 1:52 am
WARNING: If you have not been watching this season of Showtime's Dexter, I'm going to recommend that you not read this article, because it reveals a very important (previously aired) plot point. Instead, I want you to sit tight until the first season of Dexter comes out on DVD or iTunes and get up to speed before the second season premieres next year. Trust me, it's that good—you don't want to be spoiled! Damn you, Dexter. I wanted to hate you. I wanted to shun you. I wanted to turn up my nose at you as the kind of show a good girl like me couldn't possibly sit down to watch more than once. But—damn it!—your crazy-ass little Showtime series got so mind-blowingly good that somehow it became the show I'm thinking about most this holiday season. Does that make me a bad person? Perhaps. A bit psychotic? Clearly. And when you throw in the notion that the three TV actors I'm currently most enthralled by—Zachary Quinto (Heroes' Sylar), Christian Camargo (Dexter's Rudy) and Michael C. Hall (Dexter himself)—just so happen to be, um, serial killers, it's clear they should lock up my loony ass and throw away the key. Before they do, I gotta tell you that if you've been watching Dexter this season (and if you haven't, you shouldn't be reading this!), you're probably gonna have something close to a heart attack when you see the season finale this Sunday on Showtime. Holy *#$@! There is a twist that was so unexpected (at least to me) that I developed temporary Tourette's and sent the neighborhood dogs into a frenzy. The man behind this freak-out is none other than Christian Camargo, who plays Rudy, the Ice Truck Killer. Christian has been so convincing both as the lover of Dexter's sister Deb and a homicidal maniac who chops women into pieces, he's truly made this season of Dexter what it is—harrowing, intriguing and unforgettable (really, I have flashbacks). So, I got him on the phone to chat for one good reason: I was too chicken to meet in person. Hi. Hi. Don't hurt me. [Laughs.] I get that a lot. Do you really? Yeah. The best one was when I was walking into Rite Aid the other night. This young couple was there buying smokes, and they turned around—and I swear the girl did the biggest double take. She didn't say a word, and she nudged her boyfriend, and he turned around and they both had the same expression. It was freaking hysterical. I wanted to just go, "Boo." Do you get recognized a lot? I do, yeah. Dexter is really popular. I was just asked to do a turn on Studio 60, and when I showed up on the set, everyone wouldn't stop talking about it. It was like being a rock star on that set. Who were you playing? I played a guy playing Keith Richards. Sarah Paulson's character gets a movie outside the show. She plays the girl who married all the Rolling Stones, and I was Keith. It was hysterical. I got to dress up and do the accent. They were all really great there. Did you know when they cast you on Dexter that your character would be the Ice Truck Killer? I knew. But no one else did. It was top-top secret. It was so funny, because the whole cast thought I was a day player. And then all of a sudden, I just kept showing up. They were looking at me like, "What? Why are you here? Who are you?" I kept it to myself. It was fun to play the nice doctor. What can you tell us about what happens with Rudy in the finale? There is a redeeming factor about what happens with Rudy—where the story takes off from here. You get an idea of what Dexter really could be and how close he is to becoming that monster. Are you afraid of being typecast now that you've played such a dark character? Not really. I mean, I did just play Keith Richards. But I also went into an audition recently for a romantic comedy, and they were like, "Sorry, we can't even look at you. You're freaking us out." One final note on Sunday night's Dexter finale: You're gonna die. It's that good. Oh yeah, and another major character is gonna die, too--for reals. When you see it, please come back to this story to comment below and discuss! (You're gonna need a little group therapy.) Previous Story: Giddy Globes News Most Recent Chat 12/11

Dating Nowadays
Still struggling with the tightness of my knees and calves. I wonder how I look walking since I am relaying more on moving my hips side to side as movemnet then actually picking up my feet a lot to walk. It must be hilarious even though I am not there where I could laugh at myself.
I wish this was a strange occurence but it turns out its normal. I was again on Adam checking messages and seeing if anyone interesting was online of if anyone left me a message. I got a message here and there. Then all of a sudden, I get a message from this guy that had I had told that I was no longer interested in dating and no longer saw him as a prospected dating interesting and and we could continue communicating but just as friends or nothing else.
He got pissed off and told me off (yes I know I can be blunt). He was cursing me, hoping that I would encounter an STD thats uncureable, telling me i was a dirty cum rag rat ass that should get treated like shit by every guy i encounter with. Continuing to tell me that he hopes the guy of my dreams makes him feel the way he felt at that moment and repeatedly kept saying fuck off for belitting my nterest and feelings for you. Then he signed off and that was that I thought. Damn you think someone chews you out in that matter and believes you are the lowest of the lows would leave you alone. Apparently not or I guess karma, life, deity(ies) or all of the above have a sense of humor. He contacts me asking what i am up to?
I tell him that my dirty cum rag rat ass self will be staying home to rest because of the 10k i participated on Thursday. He replied with a witty remark of its great i acknowledge what i am and i just left it at that.
I am not angry just perplexed on why would someone contact me if they thought i was low to hang out. If you think someone is trash and tell them to their face (lol on a screen since this all transpired on his computer and on my cell through AIM) why get yourself all messed with them? Hmm... I guess some people should watch their tongues or better yet just move on, I am not the last 5'6 latin boy with a brain that looks good/cute/handsome (pick whichever you feel is appropriate).
I am adjusting to being single and seriously being single, no dates or prospective dates. Just iming or emailing a guy here and there. Its great, I have more time to think about how to arrange my room, think about what type of desk and bookcase I want since I have never purchased those items and am in need for organization of several objects and life.
I think I am going to clean up my books and stuff from the living room then startup on Audacity of Hope again (great book, must read for Barack Obama supporters (make sure to download his podcasts from Itunes).
Tomorrow to volunteer in Carnival Center for the Performing Arts and maybe get to see parts of the Nutcracker then come back home and relax.
Thats it for now.

Nike Runhit Remix
An amazing running experience. I have never challenged myself this hard with running. There were many times when I wanted to give up but then I saw tons of people passing me through and struggling that I couldnt let myself stop.
It started at 8:07pm outside of the Miami Beach Convention Center. I met Pam (coworker) and her son at a water station. I got there just 15 minutes prior to the 8:00pm (which turned out to be for wheelchair participants). My plan: was to get my bag checked, meet up with Pam and really find out how well prepared am I for my half marathon in January. Apparently the times for the bag check 6:30 pm to 10:30 pm was the duration not necessarily the times that you could check in or check out or bags. I got there 15 minutes late and they had finished loading the bags at 7:30pm so I had to carry my bag which had my shirt and jeans. I was going to forego bring the bag but I wanted to try out the bag check so I could change afterwards.
The race starts off, I am feeling confident about placing within my time limit. I get to the first marker it reads 10 minutes (and some seconds). I go by the first stage and its Young MC (not fan so I really dont hear what hes singing so I decide to race off while groupies huddle around the stage). I am a bit wet from a passing drizzle. I reach the water station with such thirst that I just swallow down the first cup. I start to lag a bit. I feel the bag and thank myself for putting the ipod inside. I see the next stage and get pumped up. Only to hear Vanilla Ice cheering the crowd on and someone in his entourage is throwing water bottles for the runners (I think that was a sweet gesture even though Pam had waited for one of the bottles and it turned out to be empty, so who knows). I race through all the way till we reach the board walk area before getting to the beach. My legs are really starting to struggle. I start to walk and jog for a minute a time.
My body is aching and feeling each step. Contemplating whether to just throw away the bag and hope its there when I come back to it but decide to take off my sweater and just readjust the way I am carrying my bag (yes i had a sweater on, it was raining earlier in the day and i hate being cold). Once I finish the pavement section and get to the sand portion of the race, I scream damn it to myself. I thought the sand would be packed and paved and it wouldnt be natural but a nice path to run through. At various points I just decide to walk till I pick up a second wind and use it for a while. I get motivated when I hear this guy motivating this girl to take deep breaths. I decide to take deeper breaths. With each deeper breath I feel a bit more energized. I see the last mile marker for the finish line, I just decide to hell with the feeling of fatigue and give it my all. I finish the race at 53:26 minutes and no sooner then I got there to get my time chip clipped off did the it start to pour non stop. I walked around to notice the booths and decided to pick up some snacks making that my dinner and decided to head out home.
Once I got home, I felt so hyper and willing to exercise lightly but decided to return calls then shower and go to sleep. I am disappointed with my times. I could have done better but I realize the impedient of carrying my bag did to my time. My goal was for 50:00 minutes.
So my times are as follows: 1 mile 10:?? minutes
2 mile 19:04 minutes
3 mile 30:00 minutes
4 mile 42:?? minutes
5 mile 53:26 minutes.
My goal for half marathon is 2 hours and 30 minutes. I hope to go less than this but I want to be realistic and feasible.
Nothing major going on in my life nowadays. Not dating, just going to the gym five days a week (except for this Thursday, lol I want to relax for runs), trying to read Audacity of Hope and just websurfing and enjoying the company of friends.
I still dont have holiday plans, still leaving that open till next week not sure if I want to stay home alone and just chill or if I want to spend it with friends since mom will be out working.
Thats it for now, gotta wrap up at work and head to the gym.

It started at 8:07pm outside of the Miami Beach Convention Center. I met Pam (coworker) and her son at a water station. I got there just 15 minutes prior to the 8:00pm (which turned out to be for wheelchair participants). My plan: was to get my bag checked, meet up with Pam and really find out how well prepared am I for my half marathon in January. Apparently the times for the bag check 6:30 pm to 10:30 pm was the duration not necessarily the times that you could check in or check out or bags. I got there 15 minutes late and they had finished loading the bags at 7:30pm so I had to carry my bag which had my shirt and jeans. I was going to forego bring the bag but I wanted to try out the bag check so I could change afterwards.
The race starts off, I am feeling confident about placing within my time limit. I get to the first marker it reads 10 minutes (and some seconds). I go by the first stage and its Young MC (not fan so I really dont hear what hes singing so I decide to race off while groupies huddle around the stage). I am a bit wet from a passing drizzle. I reach the water station with such thirst that I just swallow down the first cup. I start to lag a bit. I feel the bag and thank myself for putting the ipod inside. I see the next stage and get pumped up. Only to hear Vanilla Ice cheering the crowd on and someone in his entourage is throwing water bottles for the runners (I think that was a sweet gesture even though Pam had waited for one of the bottles and it turned out to be empty, so who knows). I race through all the way till we reach the board walk area before getting to the beach. My legs are really starting to struggle. I start to walk and jog for a minute a time.
My body is aching and feeling each step. Contemplating whether to just throw away the bag and hope its there when I come back to it but decide to take off my sweater and just readjust the way I am carrying my bag (yes i had a sweater on, it was raining earlier in the day and i hate being cold). Once I finish the pavement section and get to the sand portion of the race, I scream damn it to myself. I thought the sand would be packed and paved and it wouldnt be natural but a nice path to run through. At various points I just decide to walk till I pick up a second wind and use it for a while. I get motivated when I hear this guy motivating this girl to take deep breaths. I decide to take deeper breaths. With each deeper breath I feel a bit more energized. I see the last mile marker for the finish line, I just decide to hell with the feeling of fatigue and give it my all. I finish the race at 53:26 minutes and no sooner then I got there to get my time chip clipped off did the it start to pour non stop. I walked around to notice the booths and decided to pick up some snacks making that my dinner and decided to head out home.
Once I got home, I felt so hyper and willing to exercise lightly but decided to return calls then shower and go to sleep. I am disappointed with my times. I could have done better but I realize the impedient of carrying my bag did to my time. My goal was for 50:00 minutes.
So my times are as follows: 1 mile 10:?? minutes
2 mile 19:04 minutes
3 mile 30:00 minutes
4 mile 42:?? minutes
5 mile 53:26 minutes.
