Same old same

Hiya!

So, it's June! This means one thing, summer!! I love summer, is my favorite season. I love going to the beach and swim in the sea. I used to do this 3 months a year when I was younger. I haven't had a long vacation for years and I miss it. Oh well, it's part of growing up I guess.

Anyway, so I am getting ready to go to Europe for the next two months. I am excited! I will go to visit my family and I will also see my girlfriend!! Finally, it's been more than 2 months since the last time I saw her and I miss her like hell. Good thing is, she is coming back with me so I am like super happy. So far, so good.

Being working as always, jesus I sound so boring. Hm... well not much to write tonight. Let's see what's on the telly.

Ramblings...

Nothing has been really happening the last few days. I have been working and pretty much going home after work, having dinner and watching TV or just being on the internet. I realize my life must be pretty boring but I don't mind, everything happens for a reason.

Being in a long distance relationship is way harder than I ever thought. Especially with the Atlantic ocean keeping you apart from the one you are in love with. Hours and hours on the phone will not make it any easier. In fact, I have the feeling it makes it even worse. It sucks not being able to be together with your other half and do stuff together. Live your life together. But, hopefully things are going to change for the best... soon.

I have been watching a TV show with people having schizophrenia and how it affects their lives. Oh boy, I really felt bad. I wish for nobody to be ill. I bet they must be very lonely. How do you deal with something like this? Really...!

I also watched this movie "P.S. I love you". I hate to admit it, but it was pretty good ha ha. It kinda made me think, is this how true love is? Then, I may have found it! Scary... now that I think more about it.

Anyway, weekend and memorial day is on the way so I will be able to have some much needed rest. Not that I will do anything, I have no plans. I will be probably on the phone with my girlfriend all 3 days ha ha.

Dammit, I miss her...

Things could be better..

This day started ok. I had an unexpected phone call in the morning and I was quite surprised but it didn't bother me that much. By noon the day was looking much better and it was great up until a few hours before evening kicks in. I have no idea how or what happened but the day ends pretty bad right now.

My mood is horrible, I am sad and angry at myself at the same time. I just finished dinner and all I think is of going to sleep. Then maybe my mind will stop thinking of all those things bothering me. Why do relationships have to be always that hard?

And a tip for the guys out there: when your girlfriend reveals her all time crush... please do not reveal yours to her, that can only mean trouble. Believe me!

Well, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

Oh boy!

I can't believe I am actually typing this right now. It's been like almost a year since my last post. Where shall I start? So many changes, so much stuff happened to my life that it will take me quite a while to bring you guys up to date. I was reading another blog in wordpress.com and all of a sudden felt the need to visit my blog and post something new. I don't know if I am going to keep this going but for now I feel like writing down my thoughts. I am surprised this still exists and its not been deleted!

Well anyway, it's time to go to bed but hopefully I will be able to run this blog better this time. Or at least that's what I want to believe. So much to write... I moved to a new apartment, I am madly in love with my "new" girlfriend, nothing really new in my job but that's not necessarily bad, I will be able to finally go see my family this summer and so much more!

Actually, it already feels great typing this. I have a good feeling :)

Is it Fall yet?

So, I had the feeling the summer was over and we are into Fall. It turns out I was mistaken. I can't explain otherwise the heat of these last few days. It has been over 90F day and night and it's making my life miserably. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against summer and/or hot weather. But it has been too hot for a summer this year for me, so I just want to get it done. I know my number one thing on my summer purchase list next year... A/C!

This week passed by really fast, I didn't realize. Maybe it was because the week started on Tuesday, since Monday was Labor's Day and therefore a day off for most of us. Maybe because I had an easy week at job, no troubles. Anyhow, bottom line is this is the second weekend of September. A busy birthday month for me. A lot of my friends and family celebrate their birthdays this month so starting next week I will be super busy going to parties and eating cake (always good).

Yes, I still need to do laundry. Sometimes I wonder if I have enough clothes to go over a month without laundry. Well, pretty soon we will know ha-ha. I have been listening to a lot of music lately and I have been actually listening to a lot of NEW music. Discovering new bands and sounds, always attracts me. It's not very common nowadays to find a new band that will impress you much, but it looks that I did. Now, I have to let my friends know.

Talked with my family back home yesterday. Things are changing down there. For the best, I hope. I told my parents I won't be home for Christmas... again. Yes, they loved that.. you can imagine. I am lucky they are being so supportive about what I do and for that I will forever be grateful to them. I said to them I will try to visit them next summer for about a month. Most luckily it won't happen but, you never know.

Enjoy your week!

It's been a while

So, it has been a while since my last post. The truth is, I wasn't that busy not to write anything. It was more like, I didn't had much to write. Still don't. I realize my life is not very exciting. I just wake up, go to work and then do the usual stuff all of us do. Have dinner, watch a movie or be online checking websites, emails or talk with friends and family.

Well, I had to fix my door. Ever since I moved in to my new apartment, about 4 months ago, my bedroom's door wouldn't close all the way. So I finally decide to fix it. Went to Lowes and bought the necessary tools and then went home with a positive feeling of "I am able to do that". Took the door off, I had to trim the side and the top of the door 'cause I realize that's why it won't close all the way. So, I did that. 10 minutes later the door was fixed and I was a happy man. First time in 4 months I can actually shut the door all the way, very nice.

Last week, I have been cooking a lot and I realize again how much cheaper it is to actually cook home than having lunch and dinner every day outside. I am living alone, so cooking once every 3 days is more than enough for me. There's is plenty of food and it's a) cheaper, b) more healthy, and c) always there anytime I want to have something to eat. I think I will have to include cooking to my weekly schedule.

I really have to do laundry. I hate doing laundry. I am sure I am not the only one. Everybody or most of the people I know feel the same way. It's like someone says "Hey, let's go do laundry" and I instantly reply "How about if we do something else?" and the other person instantly change his mind for laundry. Yes, trying to convince someone not to do laundry doesn't take much effort. Unless it's really absolutely a necessity to do laundry. Which in my case, it's not.... yet!

I can't believe we are in September. Days are flying by, really. Next thing you know, there's Thanks Giving and then Christmas. I went to my local Wal-Mart the other day and they had Christmas stuff already for sale. I asked someone "Isn't too soon for that?" and she goes "We always are 3 months in advance with every season". I am like, "hm, alright". So yeah, Christmas! I probably won't go home this year. Anyway. Weekend is almost here. Make it a fun one, enjoy!

Music!

I don’t really know how to start this post. I am thinking of something “cool” to say, try to be mysterious and all that but it’s not working. So, I will just go ahead and start, just like that.

Today it was an easy day. I love it when this happens. I love it when the day is easy-going, without rush and panic and make you hate everything around you. I had days like this, but not today and for that I am happy. I wish every day was like today actually. Now that I am thinking about it… nah, maybe not. We need bad days too. It’s like they say, “the spice in our lives”.

Today I thought to make a post about something that I really, really love and I want you to know about. I love MUSIC! I am certain; I cannot live without music in my life. I work in the music business. I make music every day. And when I am not working, I listen to all kind of music. I studied music for many, many years. I compose, arrange, record, edit, mix and release music.

Music is so exciting. Can you imagine the world without it? How unfortunate that would be? I don’t want to think about it. People listen to music when they are happy, sad, mad, and angry, in love, in grief, in loneliness or with thousands of people around them. Music has changed the world, as we know it. There is almost a song for every situation you are into. Good or bad.

A lot of times I find myself listening to a song and all kind of memories come in front of me. We link music with our lives, with important moments that happened to us. How many times have you been somewhere and you listened to a familiar song that changed your mood? I am positive, a lot.

Music is my hideaway. No, I don’t have a special place to go like a lot of people do. I just have music. I can’t explain it. It just has a huge impact in my life. I guess it’s in my family. My father was the one who introduce me to music, from a very young age. You see he is a guitar player and singer. I am thankful he was kind to always support me in my decision to let music guide my life.

I have no regrets choosing music over my family. This is the reason after all I had to move from my country to a new place. Having high hopes that music will reward me some day. And I can see already, it’s working. It was worth it. All the years of hard work and study, finally come handy.

This is a piano song I wrote. It’s more new age piano than classical. Maybe some of you out there know how to play the piano. Feel free to read the music sheet and play it yourself. It’s on Bb with free tempo, well kind of. You will figure it out, I am sure.

Be well, friends.
