so, now that i've moved into my new place

i think i'm too good to write in my blog??? yes, yes i am.

totals JK, homies. i've actually got nothing to say. i've logged on everday this week and could not come up with one damn thing to write. i believe there are 2 reasons why.

numbah 1 - my 'boss' is out on vacation until the end of november. he's been gone for a week now and it's been pure unadulterated heaven! i've been reading everything that the internet has to offer. i heart the internet.

numbah 2 - i'm not really as stressed out as i used to be. as a result, there isn't much in me that needs to be released into creative energy. life - stress = no blog entries.

aside from my cool friends' blogs (i'm talking about you amber, sara, and jen, you fine sexy thangs) i've also become addicited to 3 entertainment related blogs. Go Fug Yourself is awesome if you are into talking shit about celebrities who dress badly. THE POOL HOUSE is awesome if you are obsessed with the most awesome show on TV, The OC. and last and certainly will never be considered the least in my heart and mind, my BF, zach braff's blog for the movie 'garden state'. people, i'm in love with this guy. he is amazing. and don't think i'm hopping on the 'garden state' bandwagon. i've loved him since the very first episode of scrubs. i will beat down any bitch that talks shit or says that they love him too.

one day he will be mine. oh yes, he will be mine!

DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK!

i've sorta been here for years.

i'm here and in full swing of my new life in san francisco. it's not really 'new'. it's really like 'mones in SF, part 3'. but i have a feeling that this is the one that really counts.

the most exciting part about my new place is the awesome bed i purchased at sleep train. it's the most comfortable bed on the planet. it's firm, but not too firm. it's high, but not too high. it's white, but not too white. you guys know what i mean. my mom, being the coolest mom in the world that she is, bought me a nice bed frame. i haven't had a bed frame since my canopy bed when i was eight. oh wait, there was that day bed i had in college. does that count? anyways, it's neat. and very grown-up.

on monday, while getting ready to go to safeway, javi and i were listening to howard and a traffic report came on. javi turns to me and says, 'you don't have to worry about that anymore.' i think that's when i was finally able to relax and smile again. ;-)

everyday around the world, we're coming to america...

the election is over. i've had my day of bitching and moaning. i'm done talking about it. it's now time to deal. i can hate the rest of the country for electing that moron all i want. it's a known fact that the farther away from the coasts you get the more retarded and backward the people. i live in the bay area, and don't ever plan on moving to oklahoma (or the central valley for that matter), so those rednecks can live in their trailers and have sex with their cousins all they want.

it doesn't change the fact that although i hate this country for what they did on november 3, 2004, there's no where else i would ever want to live. this is my home. and, for what it's worth, i owe this country my existence.

my parents came to the US in the 60's. my dad came to california via guanajuato via mexico city via texas. he toiled in the fields of the central valley before moving on up to the big city, san francisco, to actually make money in construction. he soon found work and made friends with union folk who got him. i'm proud to say that my father has laid brick (not in that way you perves) in many a location throughout the city. those bricks you walk on down market street. some of those are my dad. my mom came with her family from jalisco and took a bus from san ysidro all the way up to san francisco. she arrived in the wee hours of the morning, only to wake up a couple hours later for her first day of school. not knowing the city or the language.

my parents had it tough. they did what they could to survive. my mom only made it till 10th grade before she got married and had my older brother, henry. my dad, who didn't make it past the 3rd grade before he had to go out and work for his family, had to get past the disadvantage of little education to keep up with his fellow union members.

they met in an ESL class at mission high in 1976. the rest is me...

i often think of what my life would have been like had my parents never come. i obviously wouldn't be alive. they met here. but taking into account where my parents came from, i know what my future would have been. a hard life with little opportunity. not really caring about foreign policy or what the people in another state thought. just trying to survive.

i'm american. it's undeniable. it's part of who i am. the man they happened to elect president does NOT define me. this story does...and it's only part of it.

i don't know what you've been told...

but bush in office is gettin' old!

election day is upon us. one of the few events where i feel like draping the american flag over my shoulders and singing the national anthem. when i'm the proudest to be born in this country, the daughter of immigrants. the other being whenever the US wins a gold medal in the olympics. USA! USA! USA!

anyways, CNN is really pissing me off by not having any election results posted yet. i can't be at home glued in front of my beloved TV today. give me something...ANYTHING!

did anyone else catch kerry and bush being interviewed by don francisco during sabado gigante this past weekend?? now that's what i'm talkin about! not a lot of attention has been given to the latino vote. sure, it's all over noticiero univision, but i don't see anyone else making a big deal about it. maybe it's just me.

anyways, enough political shit. the emotional breakdown i was suffering in the last 2 entries is finally over. i will be signing my new lease in about 3 hours and moving into my apartment this weekend. the extravagant, jet-setting lifestyle i led while living rent free is no more. today is born a new me!!!!!
