Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and mothers to be! Hope everyone had a enjoyable & safe weekend. Monday morning soon to come and it's back to the grind.
Tomorrow represents a re-birth of sorts. First day at work with a new crew & environment. Feels kinda of like high school when you return for the following year. You know very well the drill & story of how it's all supposed to flow. Show up on time, mind your own business, size-up the new personalities, and try not to screw-up new names. No doubt it'll be a fresh beginning, & a clean slate, but you can never deny the anticipation of turning the page of life. It's a new chapter to be written in a live story of intersecting purposes. A never pausing screenplay always delivering a spectrum of emotions & effect.
For now I wait till 9.00 Mon morning to report for duty & to accept my assignment. Gonna grab some ZZZZ's.
Be back in 24. I'm out!

Happy Early Mothers Day!
To all the Mothers out there, Happy Mother's Day.
Sunday is not quite here, but I have to say, its a good day to celebrate Mothers.
It's a good day every day, but since this is the day delegated for them, why not celebrate???
I'm not a Mother yet, but I can always see the hard work, dedication and love that is involved (or should be involved) in being a parent.
Looks like it would be a very fulfilling and gratifying and frustrating and wonderful job.
But I can wait.
I can enjoy my Zoo and my fuzzeses and my Joel for now.
I've been having somewhat of a writers block over the past week, and I haven't contributed as much as I should have. Joel has been writing more than me (which is suprising, considering this was my idea).
So, I am trying. I've been sick, been busy and been tired. That's enough of an excuse, right?
Of course it is.
This weekend we will spend it with family and Joel's Mother, and it will be good.
Can't wait!!!

What a difference a day makes
Today, a much more tolerable day then the one before, was much needed. Yesterday things just weren't rolling my way, difficult "situations" to manage at work, lunch orders gone wrong, (I was pretty hungry) getting cut-off by, lets call them... "IQ-deficient" drivers and then... stepping in gum, was just a sample of my days challenges. After driving home from the "415" Sunday evening, I really was lacking in the energy dept, so customer service was out on vacation so my patience and tolerance fuse was uncharacteristically short. The weekend hanging out with the Smoj was calm, refreshing and very productive, but had there ever been a "case of the Mondays", May 3rd 2010 was the one to circle on the calendar.
Today, the day before Cinco de Mayo (for those misinformed Sept 16th is Mexico's National Day of Independence NOT May 5th) brought a more relaxing enjoyable day. After a slower than usual day at work, I had the chance to stop by my pop's place to drop by a gift-project I had been planning to complete for quite a while now. I had both my undergrad & graduate degrees & corresponding tassels matted & framed to be displayed in his office at work.
Without the financial support & constant influence of the importance of continuing my education past high school, I realized that it would not have only been extremely difficult, but it would have been highly unlikely that I would have achieved such accolades. My father never had the same opportunity he provided me growing up. I remembered for years hearing of his own personal plans to someday return to school, hoping to attend night classes after a full days work to finally attain credentials many of his co-workers and colleagues share. Now he no longer has to worry about filling-up wall space in his office with other framed "art-decorations". We now share a symbol of academic qualifications that I know he deserves more than myself. During every lecture I sat in, through every book I griped reading through, during every exam & test I either passed or failed, I know my father was with me every step of the way. Hope the decor enhancers look great at the office dad!
No personal plans really are set for Cinco de Mayo which is a rather unobserved & typical day in Mexico really left uncelebrated outside the state of Puebla. At least the U.S. gives us Latinos a decent excuse to wear a sombrero, barbecue some carne asada & throw back a few cold Coronas for no good reason, I think I speak for all "mi gente"... we'll take it =)
Just don't drink & drive! It's not responsible & you know they'll be checkpoints.
Be back in 48. I'm out!
