Long Time No Blog.
hola guys and gals- how's life treating you? just realized that i haven't blogged in a while - guess i was on hiatus. now, i am trying to think of the new developments in my life in the last few weeks.
hmmm. well, my parents finally settled on a beautiful piece of land (after rehash after rehash), and it's conveniently located closer to austin although only by about 12 miles. they've closed on the property and hopefully will begin building after the first of the year. yeah, for them.
meanwhile, school is going well. bio is still kicking my ass but hopefully i will pull through with at least a b in that course by end of semester. interpersonal communications is going well. yaddi yada - school is school as all of us know. fun at first, lagging in the middle and excruitiating in the end. anyway, it has it's good points and bad points, i suppose. the knowledge in general is really exciting to gain though.
what else. well, i had a great labor day weekend. got to check out the astros game thanks to my little step bro - went my family and we had a great time - just hung out on the 11th row of the game and ate hot dogs with taste of miller light. richard had a bout of road rage on the way home which was funny because nick was looking at the homeless people taunting raina (his gf) and i was on my cellphone trying to talk to ems while richard was shouting to the top of his lungs about some ass**** getting the f**k out of the way...it was comical. another brief moment in our family.
the remainder of my weekend was spent lounging around - nothing big. big talk with my friend em's little bro about his band. little guys are like 20 and want a recording studio to just practice and show off to their friends. i haven't heard their music yet (and god forbid it be horrid to my ears), but i am helping them locate a local studio - if nothing else out of shere boredom from the scene here. i feel like i need projects here. i am so used to having so many irons in the fire, guess it's just taking a toll on my mental health right now.
speaking of mental health, i checked out about 4 hours of 911 converage tonight on the history channel - hard to believe that it is actually HISTORY now. guess everyone will remember that day forever. i know i will.....wanna hear my story? you don't have a choice, i feel like sharing it.
it was obviously september 11th and i was driving to work as normal from san marcos to austin with my girlfriend at the time. it was the usual humdrum of the morning - me putting on my make-up in traffic, running late as usual, leah running her mouth about her daily activities and our favorite - majic 95.5 game show at 7:35am. the dj comes on air in mid-sentence - stops. "an airplane has just hit the world trade center folks. reports are coming in that this is not a hoax." leah and i looked at each other - my heart dropped and my cellphone began to ring. it was my mother calling to talk to me. the other line beeped and it was my grandmother. everyone got word at one time i think. i remember leah dropping me at ballet austin, me running in to a few hysterical dancers (families in nyc) and just logging on to watch reporters online. that day was insane. i will never forget the fear i felt as an american - i felt like i lived in a third world country where war was daily and i suddenly had just woken from a really great dream of security. weird, really weird. anyway, that's my nine eleven story and i am stickin to it.
