Hard on me too

"When i was your lover
No one else would do
If i'm forced to find another i hope she looks like you."
- John Mayer, I'm Gonna Find Another You

I now officially live in my new place. You should come over and check it out. I still have a few things to move from Oscar's and a lot of cleaning to do there, but I have a new home. I should probably start getting my address changed. It is starting to come together, but it is a big place and there is still so much to be done. My room was a terrible mess because I wanted to organize everything, so I poured everything on the floor and now the mess keeps getting smaller and smaller. Where do you put stuff you don't use, but don't want to throw out? ie old credit cards, letters or business cards.

Rino's dad, my Tio Cama, came up to visit. He brought up my bed from the Valley. I was happy to not have to sleep on the air mattress anymore. I do have to say, the bed I had at Oscar's was so much better than mine. I'll miss it. My bed actually isn't the best, but it got me through law school, so I'm sure it will do fine. Rino's mom also came up to visit and was so nice and made us dinner. It was very good. It was nice visiting with them. They were great.

Sunday Abram went down to the valley to visit the family. He took my truck, so I'm using his for the time being. I left him without any gas, but he returned the same favor to me.

In family news, my niece Sarah made her middle school drill team squad. She is so happy and I hope she really enjoys it. That is all the updates I have right now, but I'm sure there are many more other achievements I don't know about.

My sister a few years back told me about the movie About a Boy. I had never seen it, but thought I had so never really looked it up. It happened to be on TV and my Tivo recorded it without asking me. It was a pretty good movie I have to say, considering it is a romantic comedy. I like that he argues that the saying no man is an island is not true. I know the movie tried to prove the opposite, but that was the message I took from it. What I have to tell you, is that I've discovered that Rachel Weisz is now one of my favorite actresses. She joins the likes of Natale Portman, Anne Hathaway, Kate Beckinsale and Reese Witherspoon. (the last one doesn't seem to fit the same mold I think.) The scale I use rates them on attractiveness and decent acting ability. It started to hit me during Definitely, Maybe and then the Constant Gardener. It was cemented in this most recent movie I saw (which ironically is the oldest one.) I didn't mention the actress from October Road because she still has more movies to do.

My cats are not liking the dogs. Maybe they don't like the being chased thing. I hope they learn to not be scared because I worry that they will go to the restroom in my room because they are scared to do downstairs. It is interesting, I don't think you can get mad at other people's pets. I am working on creating that secret invisible barrier of my doorway that may not be crossed.

Imagine how it would feel if you put your hand down and swung a hammer as hard as your could right into the spot between your pointer finger and your thumb. Painful right? Now imagine it happening to me. A bit funny eh? Well it hurts, so don't laugh. I'm just glad I'm able to type today. I won't explain how it happened, but maybe more use of tools in my life would of helped some.


I have to end with politics of course. I'm looking forward to the Pennsylvania primary. Here is the way I look at it. If Hillary wins by 9% plus I think she should stay in the race. If she wins by less than 15%, I'm moving to the Obama camp. I just don't like what the campaign is looking like now. I get it, I do. They are trying to show you why she is better and it does take some negative campaigning, but if you can't win without that, then you don't deserve to win. Now Obama is hitting back with his own negative campaigning and I don't like who it is making him become. How about just facts and policy, not associations of days past. Hell, the Bushes were married to the Oil industry and they still won. What I want to make known is that no matter how much I like Olberman, his being a jerk to the Clintons was the one thing keeping me back from moving to Obama. I'll cut him some slack though.
