- First of all, Happy Birthday to Michelle Ledesma…and a Happy Belated B-Day to my Tita Ninfa. Hope you got what you wanted on your b-day - Just when I thought my battle with insomnia is over, the bastard came back all ninja-like and terrorized me again. Even a tiny helping of cough-syrup (nicely laced with codeine) has not helped…goltta get my Rozerem prescription dropped off at the pharmacy STAT!
- if by some chance my codeine addled body succumbs to sleep, I’ll only have about 3 hours till I force myself to wake up for my 6:30 am yoga class…whoop-dee-frickin-doo
- PMS sucks major balls. I have managed to cry myself silly watching the last 15 minutes of “Finding Neverland” (which was an idiotic move on my part since I haven’t seen the beginning…middle…and even the flippin’ climax of the story). I have also been cursed with a zit the size of Jupiter’s moons (at least one of them). The wicked ‘ol hag in Walt Disney’s “Snow White” looks hella appealing compared to the horrific mess my face is in.
- maybe I can meditate my zit to melt away…frak, it’s still there! Maybe I can just cover it up with one of Matthieu’s Glow in the Dark Spongebob Squarepants bandaids; and just tell everybody I injured myself fending off ninjas who have mysteriously materialized in my living room…
- frak, it s 3:30 am and this codeine is sucking big ass balls right now!
- oh good, I’m talking out loud while I’m typing every frickin’ word…maybe the codeine IS working after all…
- zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

…I hear it makes you quite the crowd pleaser in chatrooms…aaaaand in the spirit of spreading joy to others (ironically at your expense), I present thee, the Porn Name Generator. Have Fun!!!

How about leaving a comment with your new wanton alter-ego : -)

Am immensely proud to present to you Tito Emil Mijares tearing it up at the Catalina Jazz Bar and Grill in Hollywood during the Fil-Am Jazzfest. Am very sad I was unable to attend as this was to be a momentous event for Tito (being awarded a lifetime achievement award). Thanks Annette for the invite and for sharing this video. G’damn I missed out!!!

A lof of Friendsterphiliacs have had their knickers in a knot eversince Friendster promoted the “new, and improved” layout. For the many who did not fret over CSS, it proved useful…especially now that they can add colorful backgrounds with a click of a button. But for some, losing all that “hard” work proved to be more of a thorn on their side rather than a delightful surprise. It’s like the world has come to an end for a lot of these folks…sometimes they don’t stop to think that they’ve not spent a penny (or centavo) being here in Friendster; and maybe, just maybe should calm the f&^* down! There goes my zen…but anyhoodle, here are a few of the icons I made a few weeks back. The last two I just whipped up 7 minutes ago…hope you like ‘em : -)

When I kick the bucket, I’d like to be buried in my Hollister shirt that says, “Nerds have BIGGER hard drives”…though I don’t think it applies to me. But sporting it around gives me an idea who the geeks are…you see them hold their head up high and flash the biggest cheshire cat grin. S’long Dave, you’ll be missed.

DAVE COCKRUM, COMIC BOOK ILLUSTRATOR, DEAD AT 63

Wearing Superman pajamas and covered with his Batman blanket, comic book illustrator Dave Cockrum died Sunday. The 63-year old overhauled the X-Men comic, helped turn the title into a publishing sensation and major film franchise. Cockrum died at his home in Belton, South Carolina, after a long battle with diabetes. A family friend said he will be cremated in a Green Lantern shirt. Cockrum and writer Len Wein were handed the X-Men, a group of young outcasts enrolled in an academy for mutants. The premise had failed to capture fans. Cockrum and Wein added their own heroes to the comic and many signature characters Cockrum designed and co-created — such as Storm, Mystique, Nightcrawler and Colossus — went on to become part of the “X-Men” films. “Dave saw the movie and he cried because his characters were on screen and they were living ” Meth said.
He also said Cockrum will be remembered as “a comic incarnate. He had a genuine love for comics and for science fiction and for fantasy, and he lived in it,” Meth said. “He loved his work.”

Sometimes building a wall around our heart…the need to preserve and constantly proctect ourselves come with a price. We cannot truly be free if we continue to guard our heart and deny ourselves to feel selfless love…unconditional love. It is still possible to feel safe even when we keep our heart open; our heart will guide us to nurture ourselves after it has felt the sting of betrayal. I have always swallowed the jagged pill of bitterness and resentment; and in the years that have gone by I’ve become defensive…dodging any act of kindness thinking that it was out of pity or obligation. I was never one to accept kind words or even compliments lightly. It’s because of this I’ve grown to be a person who always thought I wasn’t worthy of love. And it has caused me to always feel unsafe in the world; to always see the negative aspects in people…even to the point that I’d create faults in them when they didn’t exist. I am telling myself to be more open now for how can I have hope for the world when I leave none for myself. I want to start by filling myself daily with unconditional love…it takes practice, and it will certainly be a journey…a road I know I’d like to take…
