A beautiful story of friendship and love that i heard was an excellent book! I watched the movie the other night and was utterly impressed at what a beautiful story. I will have to read the book and compare the differences but the movie was wonderful with a great story line.
"There's a way to be good again." (No matter what happens mistakes and errors can always be fixed with enough effort.
"For you a thousand times over again." (Nothing beats the power of love and some people will do whatever it takes.
Highly recommended story to either read or watch...The Kite Runner!

"Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction." -Antoine De Saint-Exupery
The Power of Love!
where to begin...
So the journey began a week ago to visit the family with some friends to the Tri-State area. The journey was great...so much done and so many memories. Things to remember...extended journey, planes trains and automobiles, sugar-free snacks,
family, friends, driving, Pennsylvania, Scranton, Philly, 3rd Eye Blind, New Brunswick, Rutgers Fest, New York City, 17th Birthday, New Car, Driving, Hot Dogs, Philly Cheesesteaks, The Soup Nazi, Central Park, Home-Cooked Meals, White Castle, Hookah, UpperWest Side, Drinks, old Friends, New Friends, Night Specialist, Dinner Reservations, Shopping, somebody puking, etc. It was nice having current friends meeting with old friends and just overall having a good time. This vacation I needed and it was something that will be some great memories.
My sister turned 17 a couple days ago and became legal to drive. I am very proud of her and for her birthday got a new sports car. Stay safe and may all ur dreams come true on ur 17th year. Also another birthday...my Cinnamon turned 4 and officially is now older then me! Maybe now we can have adult conversations and really bond, who knows.
an interesting quote from a great book i just finished reading, "We Think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves." - The Five People you meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom
Despite a trip being planned for something totally different then how it ended it was nice to still enjoy and turn it for the better.

When you were yourself, it tasted sweet, but it sours into a routine deceit. Well the drama is a bore, and I don't want to play no more. - Third Eye B
Rain, rain go away...come back on a day that i am not here! Yesterday a trip to philly turned into a roadtrip to Scranton. Original bomb ass cheesesteaks where they were invented hit the spot but a 3hr journey to Scranton was exhausting however was worth it to see Third Eye Blind. 
My expertise driving go us in and out of the city and through the curvy roads and pouring rain to our final destination. The home to the show the Office...only one of the best comedies on television. Look its the original sign!
A great concert like usual which made the drive back a pleasant breeze. Still left are the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, where Rocky ran the stairs and NYC. catch you guys later. Tomorrow another guest joins the journey, dont necessarily know if its complete but the more the merrier. Fun times.
on another note...my teeth are finally adjusting nicely to my invisalign and not hurting anymore, perfect smile, here i come!

"Do you think about me now and then, Cause I’m coming home again"
I made the journey back to the homeland. New York that is. Not really how the trip was initially intended to be but making the most of it. Chilling out with the homies and just non-stop eating has been a long much needed break that my body needed. The weather could be better but doesn't stop good-times either way.
I swear i have eaten so much already I am damn near ready to puke. Nothing beats home-cooked meals and food you can only get on the east coast. Key points in trip so far. Partying with the Rutgers kids like it was New Orleans, Having the craving for White Castle, Hoagies, No Sugar Added Strawberry Ice Cream with fresh Mango, Kiwi and Coconut, yum :)
Still on the list are paying homage to NYC, PA and Atlantic City.
Got the whole week planned out for good-times. maybe pictures later.
Life is meant to be lived.

On a side note 2 days ago a close furry friend left us. He will be remembered as the big lovable happy golden retriever! We will miss you lucky and hope you are happy and pain free in doggy heaven. Cinnamon misses you.
"Life isn't always the party we hoped for but while were here we might as well dance."
Great weekend. Counting down the days, only 2 days left :)
Explored Coyote Peak this weekend, which was beautiful. However allergic reactions because your allergies decide to come back randomly after more then 8yrs sucks ass.
Swollen eyes suck! 
Side note my kids are becoming much better baseball players!
Well lucky me, i have two important birthdays coming up! My wonderful sister will finally be 17 and can legally drive and my Cinnamon will be 4 years old! Thats 28 years old. Me and her can now probably have stuff in common to talk about.
I feel like the world is on my shoulders lately with so much responsibility at work and all the other stuff im working on but its a good feeling because i see the light at the end of the tunnel and i know accomplishment is around the corner.
Super busy day tomorrow lots of stuff to get done and will be chugging from sunrise till sunset all over the bay! Then one more day untill relaxation.
Got a long list of things to check off, like Santa im making a list and checking it twice.

"In the words of Michael Jackson: I'm a lover, not a fighter."
Today I got a "this is not a bill" statement from my insurance and gave me a glance into how much these doctors charge insurance company. Literally I came in to ask about a rash and the doctor said it will go away and for that i paid $20 and the doctor charges my insurance $83.48. Thats just outrageous.
5hr energy drinks are no joke, if your not planning to stay up, do not drink it!! Especially not the extra strength ones. Now I need to sleep and I need some Visine really bad!
Things in the life going in the right direction...On my list of life's checklist i am slowly checking items off...so im getting there!
Well good weekend coming up and the weather is awesome, in face summer clothes have been bought and im excited for enjoying the weather!! See you all out where the sun shines, or doesnt.
In the words of a great musician, Jason Mraz who said..."In the words of Michael Jackson: I'm a lover, not a fighter."
...i feel the same because love can defeat all battles.

A small act of kindness goes a long way. If you have not seen the beautiful movie that is: Seven Pounds, I highly recommend it.

Beautiful Song!
John Mayer on Leno last night showed me that he is a good jazz singer, like a new age frank sinatra and doesn't make ugly faces when not playing an instrument. Awesome performance...he is the sickest, only if he wasnt such a jerk in real life!

“Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working.”
Like the great Albert Einstein said, "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow." Things are really starting to look up. You have heard my prayers and may not be answering them directly but you are definitely giving signs of hope! Thank you so much! What you have done so far is beyond what I could ask for and I will work even harder. Having an excellent day and what looks to be an even better future. :)

"One Day It will all Make Sense."
The Days are looking beautiful. Sun is out and summer is around the corner. I finally washed the car and its looking shiny and new again!On another note my kids (baseball team) are picking up and learning the sport very quickly. Check them out!
A friend had 5 things he posted that he lives by and I totally believe they are true and moving forward all you need is 5 ingredients to make it. They are Patience, Courage, Confidence, Control/Discipline and Compassion. I practice most of these daily and I stay positive so I think I am good. On the up and up, how can you not love this girl:
She will always be there and despite her tiny heeed and how sometimes she is just so damn dumb, i will always love her! New things are coming, i am excited...where will i be, where will i go? stay tuned folks....another wrap up from me! Got some trips planned should be a good summer.

"Live life to the fullest." -Ernest Hemingway
New Beginning...
I went down the bumpy road of life and turned on all wheel drive! However my car just didn't want to pull through. "hows that for an analogy."
Anyways, on to bigger and better things. The weekend that was suppose to be good turned to be even better! A day in Livermore winetasting was just what the doctor ordered!
Winery after winery...something different, something new helps ease the stress. Meeting new people, in new places, eating good food and drinking some good ass wine! Good friends and meeting some cool people too!
Surprisingly there is a lot to learn about wine and not just red and white. Taste, swirling, taste, etc. Beautiful weekend for being out of the house and just enjoying life! You shouldn't dwell on the past but instead focus on the future.
After a day at the winery's enjoying a birthday dinner with some good friends ended the evening and helped to sober the night before having a wonder nights rest!
The next day was pretty chill, lunch with a good friend, dog park, pet store and then to a place I have never been before old Niles District. The place where Hollywood was originally suppose to be! Charlie Chaplin made a bunch of silent films in Niles right up
the street from where I live! Can you imagine?!? well it was like a freeze frame of a 1950's town.
Then as the day was winding down...I decided to fire up some chicken I had
Then as the day was winding down...I decided to fire up some chicken I had
marinating in some Carne Asada marinade on the good old BBQ along with some Spanish Rice. Good food relaxing with an ice cold Corona. Then of course the call from a friend in need. And Raj to the rescue. Sometimes I am the best friend. You really wonder how people think and end up in weird situations...but its always nice when you can have someone who you can call on for help. So there i was but it ended to be a nice night. a jungle gym at night with the moon in the sky...
and, i still have one more day of my 3-day weekend left! Life is good...and lets hope it only gets better!
