Ignorance...

Was a good song to listen to this morning on my subway commute.

Last night was a rough night to sleep. My emotions were all out of whack, there was a party still going on in the living room (which is right next to my bedroom) and someone from Raleigh, NC deemed it appropriate to call me because apparently "I called him".

Ladies and gents, I now apparently sleepwalk and call people on the phone. Lock your phones and keep the kids away from the horn. Hah.

I went to bed with a little relief in my heart just that things weren't so in the dark anymore and I understood everythng that was going on, but now I feel a little lonely. Eh, it happens.

The goal is to live up to my emotional rebound rate of 48 hours and recover from this like nothing. Easier said than done but hey--- I'll make an honest effort trying.

A good friend of mine from California made me a mix CD which I received this morning upon arriving to work. Dear God is Angela McCluskey amazing. An old fashioned soul singer.

So I like to set myself up in situations where there's no rest for the wicked. I can't complain thoguh because this past week I finally got my tattoo of my beautiful Latina, and Marina at FlyRite made a masterpiece on my canvas of an arm.

2 1/2 hours total it was a lot of work but turned out beautifully and I couldn't be happier. I had one full day to veg out and do a whole lot of nothing so the goal for the rest of this week is to spend half my time relaxing as much as possible and the other half cleaning up my mess of a room. I'm thinking with the free time I spend doing laundry and sorting things I'll have time to daydream about my little nook and cranny that I call my room. I know just the decor I have in mind and plan to start researching and gathering bits of inspiration online to help mold my room into a rustic Mexican piece of solace. That's where my desires have been as of late.

The goal? Desperado-- the movie and really bring out a good fuse of the Southwest with my native homeland of Puerto Rico all into one. I'm VERY excited about it, and even more excited to research more about it online.

But enough about that. I'll leave you with a picture of the new fangled piece on my arm and will have a much clearer one after Marina snaps a shot of it to add to her portfolio.

I really will be heading to bed soon BUT....

A few things to note:

- I forget all too often that I live in the biggest city in the U.S. and creepy people do exist. That being said, screw you guy who tried snapping a shot up my dress on the L line. You're gunna get caught sucka.

- I just finished my book "Pride & Prejudice & Zombies" tonight. Dear sweet baby Jesus was it an amazing book. I'm in love with the "revamped" Elizabeth Bennet in the book. Almost makes me want to Netflix the Keira Knightley version to watch over my vacation, or rather... Hulu.com?

- I got just two more days until I get a whole week off from work. LONG OVERDUE!

- Get my tattoo done on Sunday by my lovely tattoo artist, Marina. Such a gorgeous gal, she has no idea how stoked I am for this.

And with that, off to bed I go. I PROMISE... next post there will be pictures. I'm shooting to blog at earlier hours. Pinky promise.

Reborn

I've learned to suffer and endure many phases of life that can deeply affect us: death and heartache. What makes death a simpler thing to grieve rather than the latter is that there is a sense of closure with losing a loved one. It gives us a chance to celebrate their life in memory. I only wish I could say the same for heartache.

I use this time and this space to document the events that occur to make that transformation into someone new.Reminders of what strengths I possess, and my flaws that I need to work on. Starting on a new page;fresh, rejuvenated. It's time to start celebrating my own life in present day.
