Holy crap some things you just cant help but throw on your blog. This is one of them. "The Beef Burrito!" I'm just crazy enough to try this shit but it's not the position that made me laugh so much, it's the commentary and illustrations of the video.
So if you're bored at home with your soul mate, wrap up in a Beef Burrito and don't forget to go south of the border.
Wow, I haven't blogged anything in quite a while. I've just be freakin busy with side work, regular work and a whole lotta play. Seems like the weekends are a freakin blur. BUT I'm having fun. When your driving down Cerrillos Rd. with half naked girls hanging out of the car, you better be having fun. I won't go into the situation but wow, what a night.
Anyway, I think things will start to slow down. I HAVE to save my cash up for an apartment within the next few weeks and I can't afford to blow anymore money. Work has been going well and we're about to launch an internal website using Joomla which is pretty cool.
Women status: I'm actually in a pretty good place being single right now. I'm just having way too much fun to be worrying about a significant other. That could be good or bad. Maybe I need someone to keep me in check. Nah, I don't need a nagging headache to bug me about spending too much time with my friends and not with her. That's just not a priority at this point in my life. I went through a strange phase for a while there with a girl but that was that and it ended up being a farce. Needless to say, I learned my lesson.
That's all I have for now. I kinda have to be short today cause I gotta get to the gym.
Once again, it's Friday and time for a blog. I've haven't had much to write lately or a whole lot of time to blog anyway. But today I said, "What the hell. I'm going to drop a couple words of 'Rob's ultimate and never-ending wisdom.'"
Life is good right now but a little confusing. It's more like an emotional roller coaster. As much negative stuff that's happening around me, I'm able to stay positive. That's hard. Actually it's hard not to just say, "fuck it" and give in to the situations, pout and feel sorry for myself. I really can't do that. It's something I used to do. It took a long time to realize that and tell myself not to do it. It's a conscience effort to not have that type of an attitude.
This previous Sunday my great grandmother, Alice Jaramillo, passed away. Although it's sad, it's a beautiful thing at the same time. What's beautiful about it, is she joins my great grandfather who passed months before her. You can pretty much say "she died of a broken heart" as my cousin Naomi put it. Now that's something to ponder. How many of us get to experience that type of love in our lives? 60 years of marriage and their bond wasn't severed for long. Her mortal being wasn't going to keep her from being with the person she loved so much and missed dearly. That's beautiful. (Wow, I kinda teared up when I wrote that!)
I didn't know great grandma Alice very well beyond the time my step-dad, John and my mom got married. She was my step great grandmother so I didn't know a whole lot about her life previous to my parents getting married. What I did know, she was a very gentle and kind heart. She was always very soft spoken and loving. Once and while she'd let out a wise-crack and make you laugh. That was something I appreciated about "Little Grandma."
Anyway, I guess life goes on for the rest of us. The sun will rise in the morning and we have to continue with life until, well... it ends. That sounds sort of morbid and depressing but three deaths in the previous six months is a little stressing. It's like a reoccurring theme as of late (no pun intended).
So a couple of days ago my dog, "Champ" disappeared. Well actually he managed to get out of my yard and get himself lost while the rest of my (GOOD) dogs stuck around and waited for me to realize the gate was open.
After searching for him for a few days and calling the animal shelter, I came to the conclusion he was lost for good and someone had him. For good reason too. He's a very beautiful, happy and adorable Labrador puppy. He also has a very light and almost white coat which is pretty rare. Most "yellow" labs are a little more yellowish than blond.
So, I posted his information on Pet Harbor and figured that was my best chance to see him again. Who knows, it just might work right? Well, after a couple days I had given up hope and was pretty upset about losing my puppy.
As I got up this morning and got ready for work I decided to check my email real quick before leaving the house (I never do that) and what do you know? There it was, an email from Pet Harbor that said a dog matching Champ's description was reported at the Santa Fe County Animal Shelter. Still being a little skeptical, I went to the website and looked up the listing. I freaked! There was the poor little guy in jail. His mugshot on the website like a little convict hoping someone would post bail or release him on parole.
I called the Shelter immediately and ran my ass over there to get the poor guy out. He was amazingly excited to see me and whimpered as I tried to get his harness on.
Anyway, I'd like to say thanks to the folks at the Santa Fe Animal Humane Society and the Santa Fe County Animal Shelter for taking care of my pup. There were very nice and even gave Champ some medication for his shoulder which he apparently hurt while he was on the run.
So recently I've been battling with the thought of moving. Packing up and getting out of my little town. Not sure where to but a couple cities come to mind; Phoenix and Denver (LA was a brief thought).
Truth is, I'm getting bored here. Every weekend is the same drunk fest downtown with the same faces. Nothing changes, not even the drinks. The women here are boring not many are attractive. I love my city, I have my family and friends here and a good job but I feel like I'm in a rut.
Denver
I do have friends and distant relatives in Denver. One friend could possibly help me find a job but that might be a little uncomfortable asking. It's a great city and a place I love to visit. I'm not exactly sure how it all would work out but I'm definitely curious.
Phoenix
Wow, I know one person there and she's kind of weird but a good friend. I'm sure she could help me out. Phoenix is intriguing because its reputation as a party town and Mecca for hot chicks (yes I'm that shallow).
I guess it's been a while since I've written anything so I'll drop a quick, little blog today since it's Friday and I'm sorta bored.
Anyway, in todays fantastic blog I'm going to plug my cousin Benito Martinez who is currently in his first year of college and a pretty bright kid, although he does stupid shit once and a while like getting sprayed in the face with mace.
Now that I'm done bashing him and his antics I will say this: The kid has always been an amazing musician and artist and he never ceases to amaze me with his endeavors. Whether it's drawing, painting or simply music, he's continued to impress me and make me proud of him.
On to the music. Recently Benito sent me some music that he recorded and mixed in his dorm room. Despite being low budget the stuff happens to be pretty fuckin good considering.
