Time to ramble some more...

Weekend pretty uneventful. Saturday we pretty much spent sitting around the house being lazy. On Sunday me, Felicia and my moms went out to several stores to window shop. I can't do manly things like sit around watching old kung-fu flicks or mindlessly channel surf for hours. Now, that I am married, I window shop on Sundays with my mom and my wife. And you wonder why men live less than women. Where's my handgun... I have to blow my brains out. LOL.

Yesterday I called in sick to work, I wasn't really sick though. I was just really, really hung over from drinking with Gene on Monday night. No reason, we just started drinking and playing Tekken 4. I kicked his ass again. hehehehe.

Today it's dead at work, which seems to be the norm now a days. I am not complaining. I have been sitting in front of my computer since like 1:45 surfing on the net cuz we have nothing to do!!! It's like 2:30 now. THIS KICKS ASS! But it does make the day go by really slow. I was talking to Melanie (Mel) at work today. She is leaving the company in a week or so. I wanted to know about the company's softball team. She's part of it, I am not...Anyway, it's very loosely based. People practically show up when they feel like it and they figure out what to do seconds before the game starts. When she gave me the list of people, I knew like one or two people. So I decided not to join. LOL...

OH, on Thursday of last week we rented a movie called Y tu mama tambien. It's an excellent Mexican movie made in 2002. I loved it, it's really good. You guys should rent it. It's in Spanish but subtitled. It's pretty vulgar but it's also very true to the way we really speak Spanish. Anyway, check it out, you won't be disappointed.

I guess that's all for now...later.

So, I was sitting at workbored as hell waiting for a response from a medical facility to tell us what to do when a patient requested his blood back! No, I am not going into details with that one....I was going through other blogs and I saw someone that had this on their blog. So every Friday, I will have this on my blog...cuz I have nothing better to do at work.

It is known as The Friday Five. Here it goes.

1. What food do you like that most people hate?
Raw oysters, I love raw oysters with some lime and hot sauce. In Mexico, I lived near a beach town and we had raw oysters all the time.

2. What food do you hate that most people love?
Italian. Not all Italian food though. The stuff that has too much tomato paste or marinera sauce I can't deal with.

3. What famous person, whom many people may find attractive, is most unappealing to you?
Halle Berry. I think she looks much better with long hair than with short. But even then, I'm not much into her. And, if you noticed, as I did, in the movie Swordfish, she has sagging tits.

4. What famous person, whom many people may find unappealing, do you find
attractive?
Janeane Garofalo. Well, maybe not lately...but I couldn't think of anyone else.

5. What popular trend baffles you?
the BLING BLING culture. When it dies out, it's going to be what Disco was for the 80's... OH!!! and the stupid kids with the trucker hats. Fucking idiots!

OH LORD! Serg, Ricky and Gene just bought the SOCOM 2 video game. They spent almost every breathing living moment playing the original SOCOM. Now, they spent every living breathing moment playing that thing. The game is about the coolest game I've ever seen, but these guys are fucking addicted to that thing. The reason it bothers me is because I don't have the largest group of friends because with my wife and the baby I don't really have time to make or maintain a lot of friends. And, this addiction means they won't want to go out any more because they'd rather play that game at home rather than go out. Today is Friday, I don't even know if we have plans or not. I have to see if they're in the mood to go out or as per usual, stay in and play that game until 4 or 5 in the morning. This sucks...I need more friends...LOL.

THe baby is getting better, she was able to sleep through the night for the most part. My panic attacks have not returned. I haven't had a single one since Tuesday or so. Work is boring right now, there's hardly anything to do. The day is soooooooo dragging. I really want to leave my job right now...but I am stuck here til 9 pm. Well, let's see what happens later..it's only 3 pm now....

Today, as soon as I walked into the office Cindy, my co-worker, told me that she just came from the break room and she saw on TV that a guy was leading the CMPD on a high speed chase through Charlotte. Cindy didn't have any juicy details though. So, since I wanted a Coke anyhow, I went to the breakroom. After a minute of sitting there watching this guy almost crash at least twice. He pulls into a Best Buy and casually walks out with the kid on his arm. The kid was a toddler at best. Shortly the cops raided the Best Buy and one cop walked out with the kid on his arms.

Then I though to myself, what a fucking moron! I mean really, why the fuck would you walk into a Best Buy when the whole freaking thing is being televised! Best Buy has a whole wall covered with TV's showing local channels! That was the dumbest fucking move he could make. Then again, I guess the dumbest move was that shortly before he was in a domestic dispute with who I am guessing is the baby's mother and shot and killed her. What a cunt-rag! Then to top it all off, he kidnaps a toddler. I'm thinking, if you hate the bitch you're fucking, and I can understand not liking someone you're having sex with...shit, some of the girls I've fucked I've down right loathed, but that's still no reason to kill her. I am thinking that was probably his child. He probably didn't get along with the girl and shot her. Now, the kid has to grow up with the stigma that his father killed his mother. Some fucking world we live in. I sometimes wish someone or something would come down and castrate men like that and by the same token, remove the womb from hyena-like women too. People like that don't deserve to reproduce. That is a gift greater than personal life itself. I guess I just love my child too much to understand people like that. Even if Felicia and I ever get to the point were we totally hate each other guts (I hope that never happens though) I would never do anything in front of the baby to shatter her existence. People should be more considerate of kids. Anyway, that's my rant... That guy really does not deserve that child... I think a lot of people out there do not deserve children. It's a treasure only certain people can value.

If you want to read more about the story go to NBC 6

I realized that I am posting my blog one day late. I usually don't update for a couple of days cuz I'm lazy...hehe.

Anyway, the night before last Fabianna got sick. She sounded terrible. She has a cold I think. She has a lot of phlegm and mucus. If she lays down she can't breath that well. She would fall asleep for about an hour and then wake up coughing and crying. We got no sleep at all. So, I was sooo tired at work. Last night it wasn't that bad. She was still a little sick but she slept more. I told Felicia I wasn't able to spend another nigh up and then go to work today. So I came to sleep in the living room. Felicia took her to the doctor today. I hope she's better soon. I hate to see the baby sick. Felicia gets so worried too.

We're trying to play the baby's party. On December 5, Fabianna turns 1! I can't believe it's been a whole years since that little thing was born. I feel so happy and proud. She and Felicia are everything in my life. A full year of poopie diapers, sleepless nights and spitting baby food. LOL but also, a full year of joy and happiness, her smile and her laughter brightens up everything no matter how sad or pissed I am. When I hear her cry, I don't care how tired I am, I want to go make her stop crying, and when she does and it's thanks to me, I feel so blessed. A full year of teaching her how to clap, crawl, walk, speak, what's wrong and right. A full year of the most wonderful experience of my life.... I am really glad I have her.(Go to Oprah! Go to Oprah! Go to Oprah!)

Oh, I got another crazy call at work yesterday, or the day before...I can't remember. Anyway, I get a relay call which is one of those hearing impaired calls where the caller types the thing and an operator reads it to me and then I talk to the operator and he or she types it back to the caller. Anyway, I get this deaf lady from Target and she has a complaint about her manager. The chick tells me that her manager yelled at her!! ok? are you getting this? The manager...yelled...at a deaf girl! I mean...when several of my co-workers overheard me they came to my office and started laughing their asses off. LOL...In her defense though, she did later say, "Well, I don't know if she raised her voice or yelled." But you know, the way she first said kinda tripped me out. I know the relay operator was at least snickering cuz I heard her.... haha...that was the trippy call of the day.

Well, it's only 11 am, I still have the whole day ahead of me, so let's see what else happens. Laterz!

Yesterday I continued to have my mini panic attacks mostly for the rest of the day. I counted about 5 or 6. That sucked. Everybody is telling me to go see the doctor but I really don't want to bother. I'll see if they continue. I had one so far today, I got it as soon as I sat in my office at work. I don't know what they are. But somehow, they don't really have me worried.

Oh shit! Let me tell you about this call I got yesterday at work. As you might know (or not), I work for an ethics and compliance corporation. What we do, in a nutshell, we have a bunch of clients, from the biggest and baddest corporations such as Target, Home Depot, Starbuck's and many others all the way down to your local or regional places. Anyway, we get all the bitchy, over sensitive, always-insulted-by-the-minor-of-comments employees to make petty complaints such as "my manager didn't say Hi to me this morning, that's discrimination" and "I was wrongfully terminated for missing 10 days in a row without calling in or submitting a doctor's note" to the truly ethical calls from responsible employees informing us of fraud, theft, sexual harassment and shit like that. Well, what we do is we listen to their complaint or petty tirade and we make a report out of it. We then forward that information to the company's corporate headquarter's and they conduct an investigation. Then the info is relayed back to us so we can deal with the caller. Simple enough huh? LOL...anyway, with that out of the way, let me tell you about my call yesterday.

Between 6 and 8 pm, I can't remember the exact time, I get a call from Progressive Insurance. It was this chick and she tells me she's going to ask me something but I had to promise not to hang up. I say ok and she goes, "Are you gay?" I tell her I'm not..then she asked me if I have a wife and kids and I say yes...then she was going to ask me something else but she hung up...I guess she didn't like someone playing along with her on the phone instead of hanging up on her or cussing her out. So, a few seconds later I get the call again. When I answer the phone I obviously have to say my name. So I guess she realized it was the same person and she froze for a second. So I say, "yes, ma'm, can I help you? I'm the same person you just hung up on." Now, you'd figure any person in their right mind would hang up right? Guess what this little cuntrag told me!!! The bitch goes, "Well, the reason I asked you about your family and wife is because I have them right here with me and if you don't give me $5000 I will kill them both" So, I said, "Sorry, I can't help you with that, is there anything else I can help you with?" she says, "No, I hate you" and hung up.

So, I of course, didn't believe her for a second, but situation such as these I have to report to the management due to the nature of our business. So, Kendall, my QA tells me to immediately call my wife and make sure she's ok. Well, I had to call my mom's house cuz I knew Felicia would be there dropping the baby off. The baby was there, but Felicia was at work. So, when I was telling Kendall, Megan, one of my co-workers, overhears me and tells me she received a similar call from Progressive asking similar question about sexual favors and asking for ransom. Megan said several other employees received the call too. The caller said she was in Ontario, Canada...but who knows. Hahaha....

Today, I came in and I was told that Todd, another employee, got the call today. Since by know we were all aware of the situation through emails and shit, Todd told the girl if she was aware what she was doing was a federal offense and she could go to jail for it. The girl said no. Todd said, Hold one second while I trace your call. HAHAHAHAHAHA. The girl hung up...she hasn't called back since. That shit was sooo funny. There really are some crazy motherfuckers out there. They have nothing to do but bother people. I mean, how pathetic is your existence if your only and most exhilarating pleasure is to make prank calls. Not to mention, you're not making your funny, innocent, run of the mill telephone prank call. You are threatening people to kill their families and shit. That's some hardcore psychological deviation right there...lol. But oh well, I guess it does take diff'rent strokes to move the world (wachu talkin' 'bout, Willis?). The day is pretty early, we'll see what else develops.

Well, I guess I found out that I probably won’t update my blog on weekends. I am too busy with the baby, the wifey and trying to figure out how to have some fun with my limited amount of friends. LOL. On the 31st, Me, Serg, Gene and Shelly went to Bailey’s. It wasn’t like the greatest time but it will have to do. They had a costume contest. Most of the costumes were pretty lame and pointless. They had Jem from Jem and the Holograms, Bums, and a Zombie pimp…not to mention the freakishly large amount of guys dressed like women and old ladies. I’ve always found that to be some type of repressed closet homosexuality type shit…but hey, I ain’tz not Freud. One of the costumes was really cool. The guy called himself G. Web or something like that. It was this huge costume that looked like some type or robot/moster/GWAR thing. It has a huge rotary saw on one hand and some type of lighted prong thing on the other and weird tentacles and hoses protruding from its entire body. Anyway, it was cool….he won of course….it was like 200 or 300 dls. After the contest they had some gay ass, local, Creed-playing band called Tone Deaf, so we left. We headed to The Grad Pineville nextdoor. It was pretty dull as well. The only thing that saved the night was that Serg was blitz and was pretty much was entertaining us with the shit he was saying and because he was flirting with every girl and waitress in the place!! That was funny. He also got the DJ to play La Bamba…now that shit was fucking funny!!!!!! We were laughing to hard. Oh, then this dude walked in with a Oderus Orungus costume. That was pretty cool!


GWAR KICKS ASS!

Needless to say, I got really drunk that night and crashed in my mom’s living room. Man, the next day I woke up at like 1:45 pm. I called Felicia immediately….She was pissed! I felt like shit. I apologized up and down and she of course played every wife’s role of “I’m not mad, just disappointed, It’s ok�….Yeah, I’m not falling for that one….anymore…hehe. So, finally she spent most of the day at her dad’s and I spent most of the day at my mom’s and that night we had a husband to wife talk. In other words, she chewed me up…but I deserved it, so I’m not complaining about it. Sunday I laid in the house all freaking day long. Nothing happened, nothing at all…hehehe…that felt good.

This morning I had a weird sort of panic attack. It wasn’t really a panic attack because I have these “attacks� all the time. Maybe I used one too many hits of fry when I was younger. Anyway, I get these weird flashbacks and become engulfed in uncontrollable fear. I can’t shake it either…it’s like I’m petrified. The weird thing is they would not last more than 30-45 seconds. Well, I had them a lot right before Fabianna was born. Like three to five times per day! Around Oct and Nov of last year it got pretty bad. Then for the past month or so, I’ve noticed that they started coming back. But, not the same way. I was able to shake them off immediately after I felt the first signs. Then, it would be gone. I also noticed that when I or someone else sneezes, and it catches me off guard. I begin to feel it creeping. But again, I am able to control it. This morning I was able to shake it. It came and it came full force. Luckily, by now, I am well aware of exactly how I am going to feel so I didn’t let it control me this time. I sat there and rode it…all the way…It was scary as fuck too. But I didn’t lose control and it went away in a few seconds. I really don’t know what they are, or how they came about. When I was much younger I would get them really bad…but not as frequent. Maybe once or twice a year. Maybe it’s some sort of mid-mid-life crisis…LOL. Anyway, if anyone knows what they are, let me know.

I guess that’s all.
