Good news don’t come in singles

Things are really looking up, it seems.

A little more than a week ago,  I went to a friend’s bday party at this bar. I honestly wasn’t sure if I wanted to go at all since I don’t get along with bars very well… but things happen for a reason and I met someone there… someone really wonderful who with only a week of knowing her, has brought me more joy than I thought possible in such a short time. I actually feel funny in my stomach every time I see even a picture of her… hahaha… can you imagine?? Again, I prefer not to go into much detail since I’m kinda superstitious about these things and I’m trying not to jinx it. I’ll just say I really like this girl so I’m gonna take things easy so I don’t end up blowing it.

But like I said, good news don’t come in singles. Just 5 days ago (on the 23rd), I got my camera!! I’m so freaking happy and overwhelmed at the same time by the massive amount of features and configurations this camera has. I go around like a fool taking a picture of everything I see but mostly for testing purposes. I even showed my parents the camera and we actually almost supportive!! Seriously!! I could hardly believe it.

I hope this good streak continues with my bday coming up and all. Hey! maybe I should get myself a lottery bill… what do you think?

Anyway, here’s a picture I took about an hour ago. Nothing fancy but just to show how even simple things can look in this picture quality. Click the thumbnail for the full size. (This picture was actually re-sized to 30%).

I’ll keep taking pictures and uploading them in Flickr. I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, good night America… wherever you may be.

Rebel with a cause

Finally!!

After months and months of hesitating and giving myself excuses, I finally got myself an international credit card… this was all I needed to finally purchase my camera.

Once I had it, I gave myself the task choosing a camera and its accessories. I was also thinking if I should buy it off ebay or someplace else. I did find a package on eBay that was “cheap” enough and had plenty accessories but thanks to a friend’s avidce I started researching about the accessories and found out they weren’t all that good.

So I went the safest way and went back to Amazon. There I found THIS package. It has the Canon Rebel XSi with a bunch of accessories. It did lack a couple but I was able to add them separately, like the tripod. It’s quite an investment but I think it’s worth it. I feel really excited about this and I’m really looking forward to receiving the camera.

Maybe this is the start of something good, you know? I’ve been working kinda hard lately and maybe it’s starting to pay off. Many aspects of my life have been improving lately. Can’t really go into much detail about that but let’s just say that I’ve released a lot of the stress and bitterness I had been accumulating.

But for the first time in a long time, I don’t feel on neutral gear… I feel like I’ve finally changed to 1st. The challenge now will be to keep it up, of course. I think my therapist will be pleased with this progress on my own.

I will probably have to wait a couple weeks for my camera but I don’t mind all that much. Obviously if I could, I’d pick it up in Miami myself. For now… good night, America… where ever you might be.

the Arc de Triomphe is nothing compared to the arch of your back

the curve in your thighs is the the path away from my sanity

the arch in your back is the way to the mountain where the throne of the love Goddess resides

the fall of your shoulders is where my last defense falls

the warmth of your lips if where my blood boils

the furious thrust of your hips is the pounding of every beat of my heart

every shining drop of your sweat is the rain that dampers my soul

every moan from your mouth is warcry for battles to come

every ecstasy reached is a step in the ladder towards my madness

Incomplete

Been feeling weird lately… something’s off… missing but not quite sure what.

Not even sure if it’s feminine company as I usually would’ve thought. But don’t come trying to tell me I’m missing God in my life, ’cause I’M NOT.

It’s something else but I can’t quite put my finger on it and it feels weird. I haven’t had any “bad” experiences lately or anything that would make me depressed but I haven’t lived anything exciting either so it may be just lack of excitement or “higher emotions”.

So… what to do?? Don’t know. Not a clue. I’ve said for a while now that I want to fall in love. It’s a real roller coaster of emotions, it seems; love, misery, uncertainty, etc. But girls these days are so complicated and plain nuts that it makes you wonder if it’s worth it.

I’ve also said for a while now that I wanna pick up writing in a more serious way but for some reason all the good ideas and my will to write simply go down the drain when I actually sit down to try to type something.

I got what I needed to buy my camera, but I need to pay off some debts first before I get myself into even more debts.

I need to try new things, new experiences, new emotions… anything new. Got any suggestions?? Drop me a comment!!

In the meantime I’ll keep searching but for now… good night, America… where ever you may be tonight.
