I seriously suck on keeping up a blog. . .

... lol. So yeah. It's been forever and a half since I've put anything up here and a lot has happened since last time but it is what it is. The last post was about 10 months ago and I was talking about me trying to take my doctors advice and do some real exercise. I even joined a gym and everything but, as things go, life happened and I caught up in this and that and stopped going to the gym and had to redirect my gym membership money towards other, more important avenues. I did stick with it for about 3 months before I had to put the gym on the wayside. I think I got a little more toned in my short stint of exercise frenzy. Lol.

   I've had my share of arguments, almost break-ups, holiday parties, strokes of good and bad luck, and a lot of uncertain and fun times these past 10 months. It would drive me crazy trying to recount all those moments I skimmed on there so I'm just gonna leave that like that for now. Right now though I will write about how awesome it would be to be in Florida at this moment cause it's freaking cold in Rhode Island. I miss the hot sun with a cool breeze that you can feel on your skin during the warm months since you're not bundled up like an eskimo anytime you have to leave the house. But spring isn't that far off and summer will be right around the corner once spring hits so all I have to do is bide my time till then. :)

   Then, afterwards, I can contemplate moving to Florida, lol. I have Caribbean blood coursing through my veins and it does not appreciate this cold one bit. Of course I've also had a multitude of friends and family move down to Florida these past few years with them all regaling me with stories of how warm it always is down there. I've had a few people invite me down to stay a week or so with them down there which I really would love to do but can't for the moment. This is because the all too familiar money issue start to come into play. . . .: / yeah.

   I make most of my money on the weekends and have about three or so days off every week but which wouldn't be a problem in the whole scheme of things regarding to jumping to Florida for a bit. The issue comes with the fact that it wouldn't be fair of me to just go and leave my sometimes awesome sometimes infuriating fiance in the cold, literally and figuratively speaking, to fend for himself. He works random times and days every week and it's money that we both really need so I very well can't have him skip a few days of work just to go enjoy the sand, sun and sea. Well I actually could but it wouldn't bode well for both of our bills. Although there might be an answer for this issue. . .:)

   It is tax season now and I did my taxes last week and should be (if nothing stops it, fingers crossed.) be getting my return in march. It seems like it's going to be a sizable amount, at least in my standards, so it might be possible to have a week off of work for both us and go jaunt around Florida for a bit. But then again I could also be putting that money towards some more constructive endeavors not to mention a few other slightly more selfish and way more inexpensive things too. Choices, choices, choices. . . 

   Well I guess I'll stop boring you with all of this but I will say it was nice to rant on about it for a bit. Till next time

The weather is getting better. . . .

   ...and you know what that means. Short sleeve shirts, tank-tops, and shorts time! Which also means that summer is only a few short months away and there's not much time left to start working on those summer bodies that we all love to see and yearn to have if we're not the lucky few already blessed with them. I, for one, have a fast metabolism so I'm always slim for anytime of year but I always feel like a stick when I take my shirt off. So this year (last Tuesday to be precise) I joined a gym again.
  
   Now I didn't join the gym solely for the aesthetics of a well built body but I won't say that I'm not going to be happy if I get that. For the last few weeks I've been having a few unnerving aches and pains around my body and I didn't want to have something happen to me where I couldn't go out and enjoy the warm weather like I've been planning to do. So I took the advice of all the doctors I've seen for the past 12 years and started to do some real exercise to get and keep everything running smoothly. Of course I'm starting off easy which kind of gets me a bit antsy because all I really want to do is work on building my body up but right now I have to concentrate on getting my body at a good and normal place before I start putting some stress on it. But believe me when I say that once I'm in tip-top work out shape, the real work out will begin. . . .I hope.


   I have to admit I've never been one to push myself too hard when working out but I have a little bit more motivation than normal this time around and I've been eating healthier while taking vitamins so I think my body's going to just want to push itself now that it has a better source of energy to work with. Hopefully in a few months from now I'll have some really good news to talk about when comes to my health and muscle mass.

So I just finished a marathon. . . .

  
  

Not one of the one's you actually have to run in of course. I'm just bit too lazy or busy (I prefer to use the latter) for craziness of that stature. At least while it's still cold outside. The marathon I'm speaking of is of a T.V. show variety. I've become obsessed with this show called Awkward which I stumbled upon while browsing the selections on Netflix.

   It is a very funny and entertaining show which in my opinon was done correctly. I'm not a sage when it comes to descriptions on shows but I'll tell you a little about it. It's about this girl who starts her sophmore year in high school with a rumor circling about how she tried to commit suicide but in actuallity she just happend to slip in the bathroom, scattering various things around while she went down, making the whole scene look like a suicide attempt to her family and very awkward for her. She goes through alot as the year goes on and keeps track of it all on her blog but you're just going to have to watch the show to figure out what exactly all of that is.

   I will say thought that watching this show has made me miss keeping up to date with my journals and writing in blog. I have made a quick and maybe not totally a promise kind of promise to try to write about life in general on here at least once a day with this being my first entry back. Anyways, it's 1:38 am over here right now and I'm starting to fade so I think I'm going to pass out for a bit.
   ~Good Night~

Tuesday morning. . .

...at least it is for me. It's 10:24am and I'm awake because we are expecting a plumber to come by to look at a leak in the living room ceiling which is directly underneath the upstairs bathroom. Dean went out to do a few things and Billy is at work right now which leaves me and one of my friends who slept over last night in the house with the plumber who is here now. Will is still asleep and there's hardly any traffic outside which makes the house really quiet. I feels kind of nice to have a quiet and relaxed house this early in the afternoon (my morning). It's a calming and peaceful feeling that I haven't felt in a good 7 or some years.

Outside is warm with a slight cool air hover around and it's also greyish which is the perfect kind of weather I like. Probably because I'm a bit weird but I've always loved it when it looks cloudy and grey or foggy or even when there's a storm with rain and lightning. Especially when there's lightning. Right now though it's definitely the extreme calm before the storm feelling going on and I'm am just soaking it up while I can because soon Will is going to wake up and Dean will get back home and there will be things to do. Well, I guess I should end this here and get my coffee that I made since it's quite literally chilling in the kitchen so I might have to nuke it.

I am awake. . .

   It's 10:51pm when I'm begining this post. Dean's asleep on the bed just snoring away and I'm up thinking about how I've been kind of bad by not making some time to call or text my sister who just found me and my father again after a few years of not knowing how to contact us. I really need to call or even text her and see how she's doing. Last time I talked to her were a couple weeks ago. She told me she has a few month old baby and doing good which I"m glad to hear about. My father also told me that she's been in contact with my oldest brother and knows where he is which is good because I haven't heard from or about him for a few years now. I really should get my stuff together and try and connect with the both of them.

I've been busy running around . . .

   Kind of at least. Just trying to get life settled down but it never seems to. Right now everything is good and I don't have many complaints except for the fact that I'm tired a lot and getting a bit lazy because of it. I've been trying to go against it of course by dragging myself out of the house and walking around providence every now and then for an hour or so. What mightg really help out a lot is if I join a gym again and start working out.
   I might gain some extra energy and those lovely little endorphines will start flooding in and make the world just that much brighter for me, lol. I'm excited though since halloween isn't that far off right now. That, being my favorite holiday and all, always brings a smile to my face. All the horror themed movies and ghost and monster shows that go on durring the month of october just resounds a note of pleasure within my brain that I don't really understand but do thoroghly enjoy. I'll be carving my first pumpkin this year ( yes I've never carved a pumpkin) with Dean and I'll also be decorating the house up for the entire month of octerbor for halloween.

   Just thinking about that is kicking me out of whatever funk I woke up with today. I'll try to take pictures and post them up once the carving of the pumpkins and the decorating of the house are all done.

Ugh ! ! ! . . .

   I have been sick for the last few days and it hasn't been the least bit fun. Luckily I had an extra day off from work which allowed me to rest sooner than normal. I just fund it funny that usually something happens when I get sick that lets me rest more or I have a long weekend which gives me enough time to get sick and feel better before going back to work. I guess I'm just lucky. So besides being sick there are some other things that I would like to tell you all about.
    I moved to a new apartment at the end of July/ begining of August. It's bigger and in a nicer area of the city plus now we have a room devoted just to being an office as well as an outside porch. We're on the second floor of a two story house with the attic being a third apartment with people living in it. It's a good size apartment and I love it here now. I still have the same room mate living with me but I also have my boyfriend here too. This leads me to my other announcement. I just so happened to have proposed to him not too long ago and he was crazy enough to say yes which means I should call him my fiance now instead of my boyfriend. The wedding is set for halloween of 2013.
   I'm so excited about it. Now it's not going to be some crazy halloween, costumed wedding with demons and ghosts and zombies. No, no, no, this will be more put together than that. The theme of the wedding will be a Victorian-Gothic Masquerade. It's going to be amazing! Dark colors of any color with black accents in a victorian gothic fashion is just going to go well with it being on Halloween. Just thinking about it makes me excited but there's a lot of details I have to iron out first. I got myself all excited now.
   Anyways, I have to get back to being a productive person and finish up the laundry.

Not quite sure where I am but. . .

I'm relaxing a bit. Dean took me to a park with a little beach on it and is now laying face down in the sand. I figure I might as well relax also so I'm sitting on a toppled over, dead tree in the shade just listening to the waves and being calm. It's a nice day out when you're in the shade a cool breeze is hitting you. Sorry, just had a little moment there. Anyways, I am going to be seeing Ted at the movie theater later.
I heard it was funny.

Video Blog Update. . .

Hey everybody. It's has been a long time, yet again, without much going on over here on my blog but here's a quick update via video about a bit that's going on.

So I saw a movie. . . .

   Just went to see . . .

   . . .and it wasn't the greatest. I went to see it with my friend Jeff tonight and I was all excited for it but it fell short of what it could've been. I don't want to spoil it for anyone but I didn't like the way they played out the story and the ending for me was a bit anti-climatic. There were so many ways they could have gone with the story even with still sticking to the plot of the movie but it was done poorly and was a bit to obvious to the point where Jeff figured out half of the plot and I figured out the other half near the begining of the movie. I'm not saying that you might not like it also but it just isn't my type of movie on top of the fact that it wasn't done in a way that kept me wondering and guessing which, for me, is part of the fun of wacthing a movie.

   The next movie I plan on seeing is The Hunger Games which looks good in the trailers so I guess I'll find out just how well it'll compare to the actual movie.

Life is just life. . .

  

   I've been getting through these last few days as best as I can without freaking anybody out and staying calm because I have a few people who are relying on me to be on top of things and keep things going normally but I'm not sure how well I'll be able to do that. I need to pay my phone bill and utilities in literally the next few days and without an actual easy to plan with job I'm not sure how this month will go let along the next few weeks. I am making some money right now which keeps me from completely losing my mind right now but I have to see how good it works with my bills and stuff. I'm just nervous since a lot of things changed so drastically and quickly that I don't feel like I have my feet planted firmly on the floor. There are a few other things which, unfortunately, I can't put on here that need to be addressed by me soon and when it happens it will be a very bad and dramatic affair with arguing and screaming I'm sure.
 

    I just have to make sure to approach the situation as calm and non-aggresive as possible but I'm sure everyone will be happier after all is said and done. I just have to get everyone to understand the position I'm in and, therefore, they are in and find a way to make things work. I personally just have to crack a whip on myself and save as much money as possible. At least until I get a day job to get me going how I want to be going again. It'll be frustating and difficult for the first few weeks/months but I'll make it through alright in the end. . .I hope. lol.

Love, Jobs & The Gym. . .

   Hey everybody. I've been running around life for a bit so I haven't had the chance to stop and let you guys in on what's going on so I'm sorry about that. Here's the latest info though. I have been dating a guy for about 3 months now and he's awesome. We get along very good and apparently just skipped over the lovey-dovey honeymoon phase and straight into the normal relationship portion of our, well, relationship, lol.
   That's a really good thing cause neither of us are lieing to ourselves or each other about how perfect the other is. Instead when something bugs one of us we say it outright and argue here and there about things which makes it more real and less lovestruck and blind craziness. He's good to me and makes me laugh which is what I want. Somebody who knows how to relax and enjoy themselves. I'm very happy about meeting him and he came when I needed him too because. . .

   About three weeks ago I had decided I was overworking myself between working at the Megaplex and scrounging around for what little money I could at Hush so I decided to stop working at Hush which I thought went ok except for the new partner of the club who literally told me that if I leave he would not let me come back even if I wanted to. Now that seems like a threat to me which is definitely not what you want to do to me if you want to keep me around. He also said a few other things like "This is bussiness and I'm not here to make friends and if I wanted one I would buy a dog" and "I'm straight, not gay so I'm not going to be nice to you or give you favoritism" and "I can get dancers to replace you at anytime." This might be my ego talking a bit but I worked there without them paying me and they, on top of that, wanted me to start paying $80 a week to work 3 days in a club that's slow almost every single night it's open and I worked as best as I could and I was the best dancer at that club so they'll have to do a lot to replace me. Ok enough of my ego trip, back to the rest of the story.

   I wound up saying that I hope he's happy when finally gets a dog then and that I definitely still quit. All's good with me after that for about two weeks and then this last sunday I get a text message from my boss at the Megaplex, who is also the original owner of the strip club and now a partner of Hush, saying that he finished a meeting with the owners of the Megaplex and that it's doing bad and they said that he had to lay somebody off to save money and that I was the one that he needed to lay off. . .rigghhttt. So I asked to talk to him, left a voicemail telling him how I felt and who else was laid off seeing as they just hired two new people so laying one person off does absolutely nothing in the way of saving money. Three guesses as to what happened. If you guessed that I couldn't get to talk to him and he never tried to call and talk to me then you are right!
   Whatever the case may be with that situation I am ok for right now and training in being a barback to be a bartender in the near future. So you will be able to see me Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays  at the Dark Lady. Hope to see all of you there. ;)

   P.S. I joined the gym not to long ago so I should be ripped in a bit. lol

Disappearing car door. . .what?!? Kinda awesome!. . .

   So I ran into this video a little bit ago and I think it's awesome. Of course there are few down sides I'm sure everyone can think of with haveing doors like these but I don't know all the details about it and I'm sure if they keep working on making the doors work for almost every situation that people will be saving all their money to get cars with doors like these. Here's the video. . .

  I'll let you come to your own conclusions about it.

Hey everyone. . .

   I'm sorry I took such a long hiatus from this blog but I've been working a whole lot and moving on top of that but I am happy to report that I am all moved in now into my new place and happier for it. It was so stressfull trying to get everything all moved in and done with especially with my schedule. I did get everything done though and the electric and gas are both on and in my name and the last thing that I am waiting for is my cable and internet being hooked up and started which won't be until tuesday. It makes it kind of hard to post anything up here when I don't have any interenet at home. I feel like a kid waiting for christmas now though.

   Tuesday can not come any sooner for me at this point. That aside though I love the new place. It's spacious and comfortable with a lot of natural light that comes in and feels comfortable and cozy in general. Once I get a chance I'll put a little video tour of the place together post it up. . ..maybe. lol.

   Besides that though life is going good. I started dating someone just over two months ago and I feel happy with him, even if he can be a bit to deal with sometimes. Although I'm not always easy to deal with either, lol. I'm strong and mature enough to handle both the ups and downs though. Every relationship will have it's shares of problems and road bumps to get through and it just depends on if your dedicated enough to stick through it.

   It happens every time two different people with differing personalties decide to spend a good amount of time with each other. Just a simple fact of life.

Hey, just saying goodnight. . .

   I am tired from work and feelling all blah from the drinking I did last night still. Just wanted to say good night to everybody and hope you guys and girls all have fun tomorrow. Here's a video with me talking. I'm sure everyones excited to press play huh? lol probably not but play it anyways if you want to. Good night.

Ugh, drank. . .soo. . .much...

   Ok so I went a little crazy last night and drank a lot. It's been over a year and a half since I've drank that much and I'm really not going to make it into a habit cause it's not that great of a feelling the next morning. Granted I don't have a hang over or feel nauseous which is really good but I just feel used up and drained now with a bit of pressure in my head that's not quite a headache yet but might become that later. It almost feels like my head was full of water and now is all soggy and waterlogged. I know, that's a very weird way to put it but that's how I feel.
   Anyways, here's a video to let you guys in on the rest of the info.

Working and working some more but happy Thanksgiving. . .

   Hey everyone. I've been busy lately just working a lot so I'm sorry I haven't done much on here. Thanksgiving is coming up in two days and I have my food ready for it. It's nothing fancy or big since I have to work on Thanksgiving and won't be home until after 1am. Everything I got had that in mind so I got food to put in the slow cooker and a few things I can steam in the microwave because I know I definitely won't want to be cooking or fixxing things after I'm done with work. I'll try to remember to take pictures of the food once it's done and post it up. Happy Thanksgiving, I hope you enjoy yours.

Here's a little video since Jeff and I haven't been able to get together and record our weekly "Jeff and Miguel Show".

The 3rd episode of the Jeff and Miguel Show. . .

Sorry for it being so long but when we talk things just kind of roll out and on. lol. I hope you guys enjoy it and don't worry, we'll get better ;).

More or less just waking up. . .

  
It is 12:19 in the afternoon when I started writing this and I'm in bed getting ready to get up and start my day more or less. I'm just playing on my computer, killing time and procrastinating getting up alhough I'm starting to get hungry so I will be getting up soon to get some food. Not much has happened in the last few weeks. Just trying (keyword being trying) to save up money and get my life situated and together. Slowely but surely things are getting put into place but I'm starting to lose motivation which sucks.
   I need to mail a few things out again but I have to find some paperwork. I'll save that for wednesday since I have no work to do on wednesday. It'll give me time to do stuff without feeling rushed. Thanksgiving is coming up and I'll be working like always but I'm not sure what else, if anything, I'll be doing that day. I just might be too tired to bother with doing anything special.
   I might just start up the crockpot and have it going until I get back from work so I have something
special and different to eat. I guess we'll see how it plays out. Ugh, my stomach growling so I guess I should go get some food to shovel into my face now.
