...and so alas it came to be, where which within no one but me, could truly begin to even see, the moment that I set you free.
Of course I look up and long for clouds, the thick ones...dark, heavy, proud. The kind that roll in without a sound, to remind you of the love you once found.

Today I've decided to make it the spread of evil day. There's no special reason for it, but it is my nature and I spend every waking hour fighting myself to not be how I really am. I've begun already. This morning at Starbucks (I'm a regular), I let the evil reign rampant. I began nonchalantly. When this big fat guy ordered a nonfat latte, I casually asked him..."do you think that nonfat will really make a dent in that ass of yours?" to which he shockingly replied "WHAT!", and I said "nothing" like I had no idea what he was talking about. Boy he was mad. Next up was the coffee guy. I asked him if when he was a kid, did he dream of serving coffee. He seemed very offended and didn't answer. While he meandered with the bagging of my croissant, I reached into the tip jar, and snagged 3 dollars, of which I dropped one back when he looked, and he said...thanks. Next up, as I waited for my coffee, I saw something I see there every time I'm there. These skinny little white bitches carrying Gucci or some other thousand dollar handbag, and wearing a little miniskirt (mind you they have no asses to hold them up so they wear a belt), and these freaking Eskimo boots. Yeah, somehow these boots are like the in thing now with the disillusioned wealthy anglo's. I say disillusioned because they always have the same look on their face...like their plastic surgeon just told them that they don't have enough fat on their body to transplant to their non-existant asses, so they'll have to get fat from someone elses ass. I, rather loudly, mentioned to the person next to me, "Hot Damn that is a skinny little Eskimo bitch!" He laughed but she did not look happy at all. When she walked up next to me to wait for her drink, she said "were you talking about me??", I replied, "um...do you see any other skinny eskimo bitches in here?" She was really pissed!!! HAHAHA. Then can you believe it, she asked me what I was doing right now!!! HAHAHA. It was tough cus she was kinda cute and I know she had money, but I told her, "um, I think you are coming on too strong...I don't like fast women" and walked away. Then this other girl who had overheard the whole thing asked me, "do you know her?" and I told her no. She laughed and said that was damn funny and gave me her number! Geez...She was hot...I may call her. Finally, as I walked out, I noticed a basket of gifts donated by people who come into Starbucks for the needy children. I saw this cool ninja action figure that I couldn't resist, so I jacked it. Thinking back on it now (only 30 minutes later) that was pure evil. And the day has just begun! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! |

Hello. I have been away now for quite some time. I'll start on something, then hate it, then delete it. I've been very bad lately. I've been up to no good! But its ok because you only get one life...as far as I know...so bad and good are just relative terms. I mean, I'm not killing anyone but I'm also not paving the road to heaven if you know what I mean. Well, I'm testing for my Green belt in 2 weeks which is great cuz for the first time ever, I will be the same rank as kg. Not for long I'd surmise, as she will probably test soon enough, but nonetheless, one of my goals going into the whole thing was catching up to her. We had a very interesting resolution me and her. Nothing surprising...all stuff I had already figured, but what did surprise me, was just how eloquent she could be. She somehow, quite masterfully, managed to tell me everything I knew, but didn't want to hear, and still make me kinda smile at the fact that she was able to put it so well. Tact? Diplomacy? We are much more alike than I'd like to admit. And kg, if you ever read this, as for fate and chance...those things are inevitable...but still I've never trusted them. A little nudge here and there never hurt! wink wink. Anyways, the tournament is in 2 days. I'm competing in 3 events...sparring, forms, and weapons. Wish me luck!
Oh and another thing. Here's the yin and the yang on being a sensitive person. As a sensitive person, you are open...no receptive to more things...you are able to learn a lot more about people, motivations, feelings, fears, hopes, etc...On the other side of it, it also leaves you more susceptible to being hurt. Its like in martial arts. If you block and attack on the outside of an attacker, meaning outside their arms ( to the right of their right arm), while you are safe from attacks from their left arm and leg, you also have less striking opportunities ( mainly the side of the head, a little bit of exposed ribs, and maybe the outside of the knee. However, if you counter on the inside of their body (between both of their arms), while you are more susceptible to attacks from both of their arms and legs, you also have more vital targets (face, neck, solar plexus, groin, etc...) So its a give and take situation. I can be hurt, and badly...its true, but I'm not afraid to stand in harms way because what I gain from that is more than worth it. Hope this all makes sense.

Late Night, Early Morning
a pale,silver sickle, hangs suspicously in the night sky...these eve-time hours are not mine. All seems frozen, still-frame, sublime. My conciousness lies, within a ruinous eye. Half awake, I turn a languid glance round. Reflections like gridlock, impede my view. Slowly, slithering complications accrue, as a dreamy, sandy drake, my senses seeks to impound. Limbs failing, I'm falling, into voluptous void. my eyes see only impractical thoughts. Touch, taste, sound and smell, in muddy waters caught. I'm a remote- controlled, secret hope fueled, android. I catch the gusts and climb the skies knees. My glasses are gone; how infinitely fun! In my dreams I could, a cheetah outrun. Never tiring, no longer aspiring, to anything be.

Hast I the gall to fuel these flames... to stoke these fires; this furnace that burns like an eye in the lull of lust or lips that quiver unto your touch.
Formed within the cores of long dead stars Our fates entwined with fell destiny... And with it carry much more woe than one of my stature should hope for undecipherable these mysteries remain when the flames so mercilessly burn.
Was love formed in those moments when even light opened its eyes like a newborn babe?
Those far off places that beckon with a glimmer unreachable by all but dreams of the end of this long winter are a wellspring to these thoughts these kisses smilingly caught in the hand of this quiet wanderer.
The sun hangs low in the November and the lovers that lovingly lie 'neath the covers of their soft smooth sky Will witless each other render.
For this love... this sweet, sweet love could drown the bravest warrior in tears and whispers softly of kind and blissful years spent in a binary apprenticeship: sweetly fumbling hands and my lips explorers of your body and its unexplored lands a tireless ecstacy... wrought of you and me. |

Ok...So I came to an awful realization the other day. I've been living in a fools paradise now for quite awhile and I don't quite understand why, but I really hate chemistry. I hate how to me, she is the most beautiful, most amazing creature I've ever known...I hate how it hurts that I can't be with her and lie next to her and watch her sleep or get a call from her telling me that she misses me even though I just left. I hate that. Its all so one sided and I feel very stupid. Ahh...my blasted faith.
WAITING ROOM By: No Doubt
I sign in my name I guess I have to wait a while I wanna play this game Call me up if you know how to dial
You always had my number You need to be my lover Humiliation I'm in the waiting room
Chorus: If we both want the love And I wait long enough Then the ground that we're on might be common All I can do is wait for you All I can do is wait for you I'm all alone in the waiting room I'm all alone in the waiting room
When you burn in solitude It can get real thick If Desire is your only food It can get you sick You know you're so fine I'm over here standing in this line Just waiting in the waiting room
(Chorus)
While I'm in the waiting room A thousand thoughts I think of you Whatever you did has got me glued It's icky, it's sticky, ooh
You're the one I'm dreaming of Why does this feel like wasted time? What a price this traveling love? You and me trapped between these lines Ooh, you're so mine
(Chorus)
All I can do is wait for you (I'm just waiting for you) All I can do is wait for you (You know you want me) All I can do is wait for you (You always had my number) All I can do is wait for you (You know you need to be my lover) All I can do is wait for you All I can do is wait for you
Wait for you. Wait for... Why are you making me wait? I'm all alone in the waiting room
Will you call me when it's my turn?
Hahaha its so funny how this entry came out because frankly, I'm in a really good mood today. In fact I'm in one of those "life is so amazing" modes and a lot of really cool stuff happened since last night, but I'm not gonna talk about it yet. You know, I'm a very simple person in that I'm complicated. I think of every possible thing a thousand times before anything ever happens. And yes my faith falters...but...well...I guess only time will tell what will inevitably be. But I think for now I'll give my number to someone else and leave for awhile. Maybe if I come back before the number is called I may yet look into the eyes of that woman I fell in love with...the one that for a few minutes...those minutes that felt like endless eternities...exquisite as they were excruciating...the one that I carry with me everywhere, though she doesn't seem to really care. Maybe she's still in there somewhere.
Wow this entry is too long...sorry!!! :) -M |

Its friday. I have so much work today its not even funny. In fact...I have a lot of work every day. I wonder how long I can keep this up. I have a packed schedule...like seriously packed. Every day...Every day...I'm always in on my way somewhere...when I find myself, at the end of the day, with nowhere else to go...I...don't know what to do. I'm even in a hurry to go and unwind sometimes. I have to admit though...I have a pretty bitchen life. Just gets kinda lonely sometimes. Especially on Sunday afternoons...they're the worst. |

Happy Sunday. Wow, its now November...this year is closing its eyes and the new year is stirring. Well, I've been doing ok lately. Last night I went christmas shopping with my sister...well...i guess not exactly shopping...more like christmas prospecting. I ran into a family who has their 2 kids as students in my dojo. That was great because they were like "INSTRUCTOR MARCOS!!!" My sister thought they were so adorable and said that now she knows why I love teaching there so much. Hahaha!! I also ran into an old girlfriend. She looked really great. That was also kinda cool and she looked very happy to see me. The only thing is I don't know who looked hotter...she or I! We both look very different from when we were at Homecoming in like '97. Anyways I was in a very odd mood last night but I had fun. Been kinda quiet lately. Saw a couple of things I plan on buying for people...I love shopping for others cuz they never know what I'm gonna get for them. I'd hate to one day be in one of those couples where the husband says "oh I'm getting her this watch she wants and she's getting me the camera I want...we already know" OMG how boring!!! We ate at Sonics...great chili dogs! Then I went home and watched Dirty Dancing Havana Nights...Hehe all in all it was a very gay night!!! My new bed makes too much noise...its very squeaky and I don't like that very much. I think I'm gonna take it back. |

What can I say about this country? Bush and co. had a plan. They needed a catalyst. 9-11 came around. Perfect. They go ahead with their plan. Many people are killed in the process. 1100 American troops so far. Its estimated 100,000 civilians in Iraq. It was estimated that maybe 5000 civilians died in Afghanistan. These estimates are just that...estimates. Does it matter? It all comes down to two kinds of people. The kind that see this as just and the kind who don't. These are just numbers. They don't mean much. But if I began killing one person a day...every day...starting today...it would take me 287 1/2 years to kill this many people. Many of the people who lead these casualty studies agree that these are probably conservative numbers. There are probably many more who have died. This is what this country voted for. Can you blame a man for being ignorant? Can you blame a man for murder when he had a purpose in mind. These questions are all moot today as the decision has been made. I don't know how I ended up here. Land of the free to kill, home of the brave enough to send a child to kill for you. Call me unamerican...call me what you will...but I am ashamed to call myself an American today. |

...in the hailstorm that rages around me. Numbed by dissent of my true hearts intent, I carry with me a scroll whereupon written in ancient symbols of lore, are plans devised by suffering eyes, and thoughts despised by the changing tides...and within these thoughts are sown seeds, and carefully tended sprouts in dire need of the fragile dew that forms around her heart like life anew in the earliest morn before the cautious sun has had the slightest chance to shine through. I fumble with a heavy heart and wonder why we are apart when everything has been so carefully planned by the glorious king of the undying lands. And in her eyes I see no sign of the love that is branded on my soul like fire and hell...like the deepest darkness borne of what naught could tell...and I fall and fall with no one to catch me. And yet I must trudge on. For there is no hope where I now stand. |

Last night I had my birthday party. I'm sorry you guys (you know who you are) could not attend, but it was a very cool night. There weren't a lot of people...maybe 20 or so, but it was just right cuz my place isn't huge. I was very happy last night because all the people there were amazing...each one of them amazing in their own right. Daniel "Book'em Dano", so stalwart and trustworthy and my oldest friend. Eman Este Estevan "My Own" such a man on the outside...so tender on the inside. Abdee Abid aka 724 one thousand!!! who always takes me on some "levels" and his gorgeous wife Tessa "Contessa" with her beautiful cat eyes. Sakura "Cherry Blossom" Chan who sits quietly contemplative...hidden smile...C my awesome sister who I love more than anyone!!! Janel "whaddupwhaddup" who's working on her masters in psychology...delicious little morsel of dark chocolate. A of the Sheep...not sure what to think yet...Lil' P Presley little cutie pie with a dolphin smile. M the alien who's expertise in everything electronic is coupled with his smart ass mouth and mischievous eyes. Y from the village of the Wolves who somehow has stolen my heart and hidden it somewhere...I fear I may never again find it. The greatest poet could scarce frame the delight she fills me with. My sir who is just awesome. I hope he thinks I am too because I look up to him a lot. His awesome wife N...My good and my evil twin who was born just hours after me in the exact same place. Instructor S thug mansion with his propel that's not propel in hand just chillin like a villain honorary Mexican!!! I love you all!!!!!!!! M |

Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 26 years old. It was really a great day. I spent it doing what I love...training in and teaching martial arts. Also it rained most of the day which was just great. In the moments before my birth, my mother was yelling to the doctor that I was coming out now. The doctor would look at the screen and say that I wasn't coming yet. She said "doctor he's coming now!" and the doctor ignored her like she was crazy. He said "this computer will tell me when he's ready to come out..." Finally after my mother called him some cuss word or another (my mother never cusses), the doctor peeked under the sheet and freaked out as there I was, halfway out. I guess the moral of this story is that you never know when I'm coming...I could be standing right behind you right now! HAHAHA. Anyways, my class gathered round afterwards last night and made a circle around me, then proceeded to beat the crap outta me for 5 seconds. There where 10 of them. Needless to say, today I am kinda limping around like a bum from that beating. I have to say it was my honor completely. G'bye!

The words always leave me when I sit before this screen. Well I'm back at square one. The other night I experienced terrible jealousy...so terrible I almost punched a brick wall just to feel the pain and see my blood so I could dig my hands into my pockets and keep that secret hurt from prying eyes. I was so beside myself, and it seems any wisdom I've gained was squeezed out of my body through my eyes. It thoroughly exhausted me and I was very, very sad afterwards. Something is happening inside me and its really bad. Geez...I know it will soon pass at it always does but its the things I do while its here that worry me. And the resignation afterwards...its so painful it must be somehow detrimental. Its pretty obvious that diet and exercise aren't enough to control this, so I'm seriously considering going to a psychologist. Not that they'll do anything for me...I'm a goddamn open book from someone else's shelf. The chances of them ever getting anything real out of me are pretty slim as I never want anyone to know me. I can't let anyone know me. Its like when I was young I had a record of whale songs. I would sit and listen to the whales singing, and telling stories about their ancient heroes...the whale that saved the entire pod one day by tearing her side on a reef and leading the sharks away from her family, or of the dolphin who formed a special forces unit that could communicate and respond to undersea emergencies from miles away in seconds. Now this record was just recordings of whale sounds but not to me. So am I supposed to explain to some asshole with a Bush '04 sticker on his Benz things like that...about how much I wished I could speak whale so that maybe they could explain to me why I was born an old man with several lifetimes under my belt that I have flashed back to a countless number of times since before I was able to walk, so he could turn around and tell me that I suffer from some overactive imagination delerium that produces endless and ultimately self defeating scenarios and that it leads to a general lack of fullfillment from strategically created, unrealistic expectations about the parts of life that we're not meant to have any control over? Or maybe he'll just call me a sociopath since I'm able to magically make anything that happens about me...Oh I am really hating myself today... |

Libra & Sagittarius
The merging of Libra and Sagittarius can be paradise found for both Signs; this combination is a harmonious one, to say the least. Signs that are two positions apart in the Zodiac tend to have a very deep, special connection and understanding of one another. Sagittarius, the journeyer, is constantly in search of wisdom. Libra has a mind keen for art, beauty and aesthetics; Libra makes a stimulating companion for Sagittarius on their travels and adds much to Sagittarius's experience. The relationship always feels new because these two keep it exciting -- and yet their natural understanding of one another makes them feel like intimates from the beginning. Together they will reach new horizons in love and in life.
Libra and Sagittarius make great friends as well as lovers. They share a certain fresh-faced optimism in the world; they're both enthusiastic about finding truth and beauty in their experiences. Problems rarely occur. Occasionally Sagittarius may hurt sensitive Libra's feelings by speaking without thinking; conversely, Libra can sometimes be a bit too emotionally controlling for Sagittarius. Since Libra is a born diplomat who abhors conflict, they'll be able to smooth over any ruffled feathers. These two have the gift of forgiving and forgetting quickly.
Libra is ruled by Venus (Love) and Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter (Luck and Philosophy). Venus's femininity and Jupiter's masculinity make these Signs compatible and balanced. Sagittarius is constantly on a quest for knowledge of the big things -- the truth, the meaning of life and death -- and whenever Libra comes up with a new idea (as they are wont to do) Sagittarius is eager to go along with their partner and become familiar with this new concept.
Libra is an Air Sign and Sagittarius is a Fire Sign. This partnership is full of kinetic energy. As air spreads fire and makes it grow exponentially, this relationship is heated and ardorous. Sagittarius thinks they're steering the rudder, but Libra controls the flow of events with a quieter hand. These two are energetic in the extreme and can run together far and wide. The relationship runs most smoothly when Sagittarius can feel they have plenty of freedom and independence within the relationship.
Libra is a Cardinal Sign and Sagittarius is a Mutable Sign. Libra is an initiator; they think up new ideas and new places to go -- but can change their minds at a moment's notice. Sagittarius is flexible and adaptable, amenable to any changes Libra wants to make in plans.
What's the best aspect of an Libra-Sagittarius relationship? Their mutual interest in cultivating knowledge and utilizing intellect. They are well-matched and will go far together, both emotionally and geographically! |

"Paper Lanterns"
Now I rest my head from Such an endless dreary time A time of hopes and happiness That had you on my mind Those days are gone and now it seems As if I'll get some rest But now and then I'll see you again And it puts my heart to the test
So when are all my troubles going to end? I'm understanding now that We are only friends To this day I'm asking why I still think about you
As the days go on I wonder (Will this ever end?) I find it hard to keep control When you're with your boyrfriend I do not mind if all I am is Just a friend to you But all I want to know right now Is if you think about me too... ?
So when are all my troubles going to end? I'm understanding now that We are only friends To this day I'm asking why I still think about you

10 years ago this was my favorite song. Strange how it still has some relevance today...there's nothing worse in this world than uncertainty...for me at least. Have a wonderful day!!! |

Hello all! Well its Tuesday right? I'm testing on Saturday for my blue-green belt! Big ups to me!! My hip has been kinda bothering me for awhile but I'm hoping I can just push through it for the 6 hours it takes to complete the test. Booyahkasha!!! Turns out kg is kind of a sadist!!! Guess that explains my attraction eh? Kinda want to find another place to live cuz I want a bigger place to myself. I want a two bedroom so I can turn one of the rooms into a private dojo. I don't think i like having a roommate anymore. He's cool and all but he's really weird and sometimes kind of like a wife, having to deal with his ups and downs. And anyways he disrespected me and I don't like that shit one bit. It took all my new found patience not to rack him the fuck up. Also, when I use the word weird, I mean it. For example, last month he moved all the silverware into the stove. Hmm..okay I said to myself...we don't use the stove that much so maybe um....i don't know. The other day he moved it again, only this time I can't find it anywhere...ANYWHERE! I haven't even asked him where it is because frankly, I just don't want to get sucked into that world. Well guys, this was probably totally boring to you but not to me! Wish me luck on Sat. and I'll catch you all laters. |
