so today is the 2 year anniversary nick's passing. it's crazy how fast time goes by, and how much life changes. i'm not anywhere close to where i was and not anywhere near where i thought i would be. not that i'm not happy with where i've landed, just a bit different than i expected. i wish life were as simple as it was then, i know things would have changed anyway but, it was so comfortable.

here's to all the good times, the memories i'll always cherish, and some of the best times of my life.

to quote one of your old country tunes,

i'll love you forever and ever, forever and ever amen. <3

miss ya pal.

so i applied to work in student records at cy-fair community college, but they liked me so much in much interview they didn't want to "waste" me behind the scenes so they are going to make me an advisor!! hells to the yeah!! my own damn office!! and i get to wake up at 10!! weekends off and home in time for "a" daily show and the colbert report! 2008 is looking great :))))))))))))

a brand new squeaky clean 2008

goodbye 2007! get the hell out!! i'm pretty psyched about 2008, new year, new beginnings. usually i'm still looking back at this point but i don't have many things i cherish about 2007. there are obviously some wonderful memories, but they are clouded by all the shit that happened in 2006 as well.

i'm with laura, i plan to spend more time with friends i care about this year. time is precious :)

now that i've had my break from school i realize i should have never left and am soooo0 happy to be returning! i think i did need the break in a way to figure that out though. i'm not sure what university will follow after this semester but i guess time will tell. i kinda want to go fah fah away. UBC would be AMAZING! but the likeliness of me moving to canada is slim. although, if i get a new car soon (which is in the works) then i could load up a u-haul and say goodbye to the u s and a. maybe i should give in and go some where close to home, but that just puts a sour taste in my mouth. ehh, whatevs.

i possibly got a job doing student services for cy-fair community college. not crazy cash, but better than what 'm making now. $10 an hour/20 hours a week. i could get a night job, but that might be too much with classes. we'll see.

here's to a new life in the new year!! cheers!

freedom = maggie rita's

Maggie villa was born in Tequila, Mexico in 1895 on Cinco de Mayo. Her mother, the wife of the Mexican Irish ambassador was rumored to have left her husband for her lover the notorious revolutionary bandit, El General Pancho Villa. Under their watchful care she lived a sheltered life as a Nina. As she blossomed into womanhood with her mother's flaming Irish hair and her ample latin assets, the voluptuos beauty had no trouble attracting the attention of many an Hombre, but none dared approach except one.....

Rico "El Suave" Rita was a captain in her father's army. Dashing, handsome, adventurous, masculine and virile he was described by many as being MUY MACHO.... women offered teir virtue to him everywhere he went and he beng the caballero, would never rfuse their generosity. Durig fiesta celebrating St. Patrick's day in 1913 he was introduced to the Irish/Latina Maggie.

The moment their eyes met they knew it was love at first sight. With the blessing of El General, Maggie and Rico were married that very same day. Esa noche Maggie finally experienced the touch of a man.

Sadly the ext morning Rico left his new bride to lead his men i the battle for the ancient Aztec pueblo of Xi-Xi Munchas where he was lured into a booby trap, captured and hng from his neck until dead.

Needless to say Maggie was devastated. She couldn't understand why the only man she had ever loved had been taken from her, leaving her to vow that she would never again be with another until she was reunited with the spirit of her beloved Rico.

In her desperate attempts to overcome her greif Maggie visited many a brujo & bruja seeking a way t contact her departed lover. During a seance she was told that the only way the spirit of her Rico could return was the way it had left. She was to find a man who had suffered the fate of her Rico , but had lived to tell about it.

Tired of traveling and searchng the world, Maggie decided to open a place int he village of Houston de Tejas, where virile, macho men would gather to eat, drink and be merry, lured by the hopes of meeting all the beautiful senoritas in attendance. Here Maggie spent the rest of her days unable to fulfill her destiny for amongst all these men full of lifeshe was never to find her amor "El Suave", for no man was ever able to prove that he too had been hung like her Rico!

This is how Maggie Rita's bar and grill was born.

PS: It is said tat every night during the happy hour after one as enjoyed a teqila followed by the juice of a lime, a virile, macho man will feel a sensation resembling hands searching for signs that they were hung like Rico. Beautiful Senoritas however, report that after they have sampled the same, they experience a tingle in their hands followed by a feeling of being possessed by the ghost of La Maggie.

There is a creepy drawing of 'Maggie' on the front of the menu and that story by the drinks. (yes i stole a menu, but i'm framing it and keeping it in my kitchen for 'Rita' nights.) So this pace was amazing. We caught happy hour and after 2 Rico Ritas and 3 Maggie Ritas the bunch of us all felt excellent. The group consisted of Brey, Jyoti, Amy, Richard, Nkrumah and yours truly. This rivals quarter nights in Huntsville for being best tuesday ever. We wandered all around West Alabama and eventually made it home this morning. It was a wonderful way to bring back the single Brey. Yep, you heard right, he's been single since monday.... Lets see if he can make a week....... :)

HALLOWEEN!!

this weekend was happy. i got to spend some time with john, joe, laura and nkrumah all of whom i don't get to see much with the exception of nkrumah. it was lovely. and i know tonight will be fabulous with my 'girls' and the normal crew. drunken stumbles in houston always end with a good stories and cheap mexican food. both of which to me are some of the finer things in life.

i'm tired petty fights, relationship drama, soon to be relationship drama or anything to do with relationships pretty much. i find i almost don't want to be around friends who are couples because one way or another you always end up in the middle. regardless how close you are to them. even somewhat friends i see 6 times a year, i seem to be stuck standing in bullshit every where i turn. i think it's the weather. when it starts to get chilly people run to find arms to stay warm in, or run to find bigger arms because their current ones are not satisfactory. buy a fucking electric blanket.

done.

go have a wonderful halloween!! may your day be full of ridiculous costumes and many a drink.

GOOD TIMES, GREAT OLDIES!

i thought houston would be a much crazier atmosphere than huntsville but it's the very opposite. i spend my days lounging, watching bad movies, and playing with our new kitten. not the most exciting life, but i'm getting used to it. i do drink alot less, but now when i do i get fucking plastered! which i guess is good and bad. i'm going to huntsville tonight and might be staying till friday afternoon. i have an ortho appt and it's really frellin' early so ima go tonight. i'm probably get drunk as soon as i get out due to the pain which is why i may stay another night. but visiting all those huntsvegas folks will be happy :) still no job. i thought i had one but the lady ended up just being a bitch. ehh, oh well. i might just start waiting tables to have some fun money. everyone needs fun money!! i did find a $350 one bedroom apt near richmond so hopefully i will gets some monies soon before it vanishes. thats pretty durn cheap and i love that area... anywho, love to all!!

people all over the world now, join hands!! start a love train, LOVE TRAIN!!

i miss ya catch!! maybe i should just move to california..... cant be any harder to work at a shitty restaurant there huh?

REUNITED!! and it feels so gooood :)

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 02:40:23 GMT

so grace and andrea are going to be in town tonight!!! ahhh! it's been ages since we were all together, or at least it feels that way.... to make the day even better (which i didn't think was possible) i got a job and we celebrated brey's birthday! it was fabulous. i went straight from my interview with great news to the grand lux to tell the fam. it's a PR job where i just travel around and ask people to donate to non-profit organizations. they do some other ones too like nascar and the nfl, so i won't always be doing the "can i have some more sir" tiny tim bit. i'm excited, i don't have to sit at a desk all day and i might get to travel all over if i do well. which i can't see asking people to donate to needy kids as being hard. or football. pretty much anything. anyway, i'm all happy and relaxed now and can just enjoy everyone's visit. pretty sure karaoke is going to fit in somewhere this weekend, ....along with frozen mojitos and the beach. maybe some other things as well :) ooo, lauren is coming also!! and ima have my hair did. which i am thrilled about! just seeing her is always fun. so yay to you three lovely ladies for coming to h-town!!!! i have a feeling this weekend is going to be the best yet this summer :)

summer bummer

Tue, 19 Jun 2007 05:58:24 GMT

well, it's not a total bummer. i'm havin' loads of fun tarvelin' around tejas visiting folks but now i am out of monies and i don't have a job just yet. i hate living off my parents especially since i'm not currently in school. i'm just taking summer off but i'm ready to detach a bit anyway. i guess mainly 'cause i'm wanting to spend much more money traveling and such since friends are all off to new lands.

i've applied to alot of entry level sales and PR jobs around houston. i think i'd have more fun and be better at something like that than teaching anyway. i couldn't get up at 5 and be stuck in one room all day just to come home and grade papers at night. i think i'd start slowly killing off all of my students, which would be a tuffy to get away with.... so i'll pass. i've also applied to office jobs where'd i'd just answer phones and be a coffee bitch, but the money is good and it's mindless. good enough for the summer until i find something that catches my eye. it's very strange being home. not bad, just strange. getting a place with brey will be fun though. i'm excited. houston has alot more to offer than i thought it did.

i'm going to the river this weekend with a bunch o' pals from high school and i know something crazy is going to happen. i'm psyched. after partyin' in the woods ima mosey on over to huntsvegas and catch nkrumah's show and chill there for a night. so this weekend i know at least i won't be bored! and except for the gas, it's pretty much free! ah the glory of camping! ( and crashing on a random couch)

that puts my xanga pretty much up to date. hope everyone is enjoying the sun!! if not get outside dammit!
