Here's the view off of my roof.  It's been hella cold since I moved and even when I took this shot on Good Friday it was like 20 degrees with the wind chill...

This image was created by autostitching 31 images together and then cropping a part off.  I wonder how a night shot would look???

Why is everything ok one day and the next, one of my coworkers decide they want a different career path, or one gets fired or one decides to move to another position, all at once! Damn... work is gonna be crazy over the next several months... i'm screwed.

I've been tagged by Idyl months ago and recently by my sister moy.

THE RULES: Each player of this game starts with the 6 weird things about you. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says you are tagged in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

I'm not weird, i'm just different. 

1. People dream about being rich, a celebrity or a star athlete.  I dream about killing zombies or trying to stay alive in a different world.  Sometimes as a Lord of the Rings (LoTR) character killing orcs or uru-kai. Or living in a world where there are people mixed with everyday zombies that I must kill on my morning commute to work.  There's not a day that goes by that i don't think about this at least 3 times.
2. I WANT to like pickles.  I can't stand the way they taste.  But everytime i get one with my chicago style hotdog or sandwich, i still try to take a bite just to see if i like it yet.  I still don't like them, but i'll never give up.  I just want to enjoy the crunch i think.
3. I can't stand having fingernails.  I cut my nails once every two days. 
4. I wash my hands at least 15-20 times a day. Honestly.
5. I can watch the Lord of the Rings Trilogy 25/8 without getting tired of it.  LoTR forever.
6. I love it when there's a lightning/rain storm and the power gets cut off.  Like olden times with candles and the radio.

I don't tag either, so play if you must.

as a kid i always thought it was spelled "rubix cube."  it's actually called "rubik's cube."  go figure.

(here's my 2x2x2 rubiK's cube)

OMG!!! It's my Look-a-like from Texas!!!

Restless.  I haven't been able to sleep the past few nights.  I just watched "Fight Club" over the weekend and just like Edward Norton, I feel almost like an insomniac.  Actually I just haven't been able to sleep-in in weeks.  I'm staying awake at work by drinking Seattle's Best Breakfast Coffee, dark roast blend.  I took a nap today right after dinner that Sherry cooked and now I can't sleep at all. 

Well Xanga Banga, I just wanted to write that I've just moved back to Chicago.  I moved on Saturday from my hometown WheaTon.  It's been pretty crazy with all the preparing and financial stuff that not only goes along with buying property for the first time but also because my place is new construction in Chicago.  I have to give a shout out to those who helped me move and also to those who came out later to help me unpack and not feel so far away from home.  Thank you to my Dad, Sherry, Joe, Ryan, Matt, Anthony, Liezl, Moy, Danielle, Lish, Richard, and Kevin C.  It would have been a lot harder if not for yall to help me move, unpack, and setup the place.  So thank yous! 

I'm pretty much settled in.  I've actually been doing home improvements every day of the week.  There's always something to do.  I just got HDTV with a DVR which i think is neat.  I set it to record the Office and Bulls games, and also Sherry's Gilmore Girls... so we'll never miss an episode.  HomeDepot delivered my washer/dryer and it was a biatch to install but it works great now.  Thanks to Matt again for helping me install it.  Also got my closet designs from homedepot, now im waiting for a couple of weeks before they have everything ready for the install.  I'm looking to get ceiling fans, more lighting and blinds in the next couple of months.  Man... $$$.  But Everything is going well.  I love Chicago and everything is just so near.  It's just so so accessible, for work and everything else.  There are a bunch of new places opening up nearby, not like the North Avenue stores were really that far in the first place, but it'll be even more accessible. 

So snowboarding season is upon us and while we get our equipment ready, please pray for me and snow. 

Special thanks to my baby for helping me out around the house with everything

Pictures hopefully to come soon.  Peace out xanga playa +
