New Week

New week. New great news.
We'll see if anybody wins the lottery this week. I understand you have to play to win, so there you go. You must partake in whatever it is you want to win at, one step at a time, we'll get us there.
    I hope you guys have been enjoying the movies I've posted and have been getting nothing but good news. I know I've gotten great news from every angle and now I have to wonder what the heck am I going to wear while on vacation. Should I wear something revealing to show what I got, or go discreet. Also maybe I'll meet somebody.
    Maybe I will meet someone in that part of the world, at just the right time. We'll exchange hidden glances and pretend not to notice, but try to double check to see if the other one is interested. We'll have so much in common my chest will find breathing difficult, but lucky for me I've ordered a beer, and now I've got something for my hands to busy themselves with so they don't go all over the place like scared quails...

Sunday

Yes, it is true, I will be taking two weeks off in the next couple of weeks. There will be no posts, but I shall bring new material. I'm fully inspired already, so I'd love to see how a vacation affects the posting.

    How's Everyone doing? I hope all is good. I've been pretty consistent with some of the changes and routines I've adopted for daily exercises. I have not incorporated physical workouts so, that will be next. Perhaps a 3040minute walk with some kind of increment. I have not worked out while timing myself for a while (what's a while?-a couple of years) We are still in the midst of redoing the apartment. Something that started with roommate Joe (Jo-Jo the friendliest of drinking buddies) deciding he was gonna paint his bedroom. Months ago and gallons of paint earlier. It's been so much fun. I found papers and pictures I hadn't seen in years.

Friday

Friday is here!! How did we fare, this week?

Have you guys seen THE BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB? It has got some of the best music of an  era long gone. It's a movie about trying to re-capture an era in music. It actually feels like you are travelling back in time. It's beautiful.

    I will be gone for two weeks, you will not here from me. I'm taking a trip, a vacation. It's been a while for me. I'll bring pictures. But stay posted in the meantime.

THIS LINK IS FOR WHOLE MOVIE

IT IS AMAZING.

Free advice

Did you know you can watch free movies on your computer?
-Well you can. YOUTUBE is not just for posting your kitten videos (though we do love those). Sometimes you can find full movies that you genuinely want to watch and enjoy for free. Some of us can't afford the ridiculous prices of cable. Cable can be so expensive and with their politics they pick and chose why some channels are free and some get bundled in with a different price package. I shouldn't have to request the HISTORY channel. I don't want to pay extra because of politics.
   In the past couple of years YOUTUBE has become a very creative field. It is up to the viewer and the poster to negotiate what they want to see and show. The key as a viewer is the phrasing when typing in your search. Pay attention to such words as: audio only, remix. HD quality. Also if you find you like the uploads of a particular poster (his choice of music, video, sketches), sign yourself up for his/her updates.Some have channels you may want to subscribe to.

    Mess around a bit just be sure to allow yourself a specified amount of time or you may find yourself falling into the never ending hole of video links. One video leads to another, leads to another. Before you know it it's hours later. Enjoy.









PS 
 I'd like to share with people things that they may benefit from. I hate it when people don't share something that can be of interest to their friends and people they like. I like you guys. I like all of you. What I am going to do is let you know things that I think are interesting or you may benefit from. This is a perfect format since I do this blog as a form of exercise, It's like I'm talking myself into doing something, or psyching myself up for a big award I'm about to receive. Oh it's coming alright, you ready? Let's do it.

WE WILL BE CELEBRATING YOUR BIRTHDAY . CELEBRATING YOU. ENJOY

YAY!!!!

WOW.  What a weekend so many parties, so many birthdays.
Seriously fellas: Never miss out on an opportunity to have people celebrate you. You give people an excuse to buy cake and pop or soda and adult beverages if so inclined. You can raise your self esteem, it only comes around once a year. It's a great chance to see how much people care.  How good your life is. How, if given the chance, people want to show you how they like you. The key (and OH yes, there is a key) is: You have to give people a chance. My pet peeve is people expecting other people to know when their magical day of busting out into this world with rainbows and sparklers was. People are very busy trying to get laid and getting the mostest HDest television on the market to remember everybody they like and when they were born. People are trying to look like they make more than they do, and that is a lot of work.  I have no such illusion.I'm happy to remember what I had for lunch yesterday ( by the way, it was EVERYING-HA). Heck my birthday comes around, weeks in advance, I don't wait for people to remember and fit some last minute get together or arrange for a last minute surprise party they don't want to give you. I tell EVERYBODY. And keep telling them. It may not work the first time or even the first year. Some people think or remember you don't or didn't like to celebrate yourself. Things change it's okay, just remind them that there's always a next year. Some people don't wanna be part of a party but that doesn't mean they don't like you. Some people might make cards to show appreciation, that counts. Hugs, that counts. Others might bake, or some may want to be the center of attention at planning your big surprise party, that counts. Take it all. People like you, just give them the chance to show you.
    DO NOT: tell people the day after your birthday about your lack of celebrations and cheer. If you didn't allow for the opportunity to party, you cannot begrudge the lack of merriment.
    Honestly, my one recommendation to all?-you have to like yourself first, man. It sounds so easy and dumb, I know. Give yourself a break, you do if for others all the time, do it for you. If sometimes you forget or maybe right now you don't really like yourself or your station in life, let other people show you how much you mean to them. If you don't like to be celebrated or you feel it's wrong. If you've been made to feel that men don't do make a big deal about themselves or you don't like to be the center of attention... get over it. THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU (although it may be your birthday). IT'S ABOUT EVERYONE AROUND YOU GETTING TO PICK HOW THEY WANT TO HONOR YOU.  But seriously nothing picks you up more or motivates you more than having people get together in your honor. It's what people do. It's what we've done for people we like. I enjoy ,myself so much just hanging out with people I love and like to be around if it was my birthday and I was getting presents well then...all the fuckin' better. Got it?

                      HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL THE QUIET BIRTHDAYS OUT THERE.
May you get all you want this year. As long as it's within reason and allowed by the state of California (just kidding)

Capricorns everywhere I turn this time of year

CAPRICORNS
    January parties and Capricorn birthdays going off like crazy. Last night another party took its place in history and was delishus to boot, with catering taco truck and all the tacos you could gobble up in three hours. Hot Hot Habanero sauce and not as hot, kicking red chile sauce. Grilled onions and veggies, to serve on side. I got emotionally burned by some grilled jalapenos, damn you jalapenos! I trusted you!! never again... until it happens again (grin). What party can begin without the obligatory SHOTS, for those who indulge in straight up raw wackiness. I like mine mellow and later in the goings-on. I've gotta build up to wackiness. No Axel Roses in this karaoke kids, sorry. This was a Vicente Fernandez gig. I bet you didn't know Vicente Fernandez could do the serpentine dance like nobody's business, though.
    One more party to attend this weekend. I hear there will be cake. I'm so there...
