Laredo

I left this morning at 10am to Laredo and got into town this afternoon around 1pm. I'm here to work on an overnight inventory. It's actually 5am right now and I just got out of it. I'm so tired and I can't wait to crash into this hotel bed. I hadn't realized exactly how much I missed everyone here. I wish I could take them back with me.

all in all.. the things we do. the things we say are insignificant. mountains, millions of years old speak volumes; show beauty.

Here is me.

2/18/2008

Hello. This morning I flew into New Mexico on about 2 hours of sleep. I spent most of the night packing and well, procrastinating to tell you the truth. Anyway, I got here around 10am and we had one of the GMs from one of the stores up here showing us around the stores and the city. We went up to the mountains, checked out the view, played around in the snow, traveled down "famous" route 66, and went to an indian casino. I only had 1 dollar in my wallet. Sad. I know. I gambled it and walked out with 10 dollars though! I swear, I'm so fortunate with luck games. I should really start playing the lottery.

im going to turn in for the night. im so exhausted and tomorrow is going to be just as long as today. return soon. i've taken some neat pictures so far!

i don't claim to know it all. i'm might have strong views or opinions about one things or another, this or that person but they sway back and forth, day in and day out as i grow. today i've realized that in life, we will come full circle in many ways. i might have lost you today, but ill catch you tomorrow. at least that's the idea i want to believe in... because i've lost so many.

my convictions are a work in progress


when i was much younger i would hold my convictions without any sway. today i wonder why i held them so dear or unprovocable. seems like petty things to fret. ive broken threw those old ideals i had so meticulously conditioned myself to believe. by steven saul king

BORDER WALL!





the US Government is setting up a show down with all the local governments over permission to study the lands that would occupy the proposed border wall. In doing so, they have a STUPID plan to run a wall right down the university of texas at brownsville. Leaving half golf course and baseball field on the other side. Also leaving a sore sight on a beautiful landscape and possibly destroying the remainants of the original fort brown.

are we going to sit on our hands?

are we willing to sacrifice our culture, our land and our history over a wall that's NOT really going to keep anyone out. think about it. do something. by steven saul king

back home tonight

i can stare at the stars for hours from the balcony of my space. i'm my next life i'll be an astronaut or go into astronomy. yes. i will.

im back in Brownsville tonight and it feels so good to rest and re-charge myself back at home. especially since the next couple of weeks i'm going to be traveling out of town again. i feel kinda bad about skipping out on my doctor's follow up visit, but i'm sure ill be okay and i'll catch up to him a little bit later on anyways.

my allergies have been killing me the last few day; it's been incredibly windy. last night it sounded like the roof was going to fly right off!

stop it now

my nose needs to seriously stop leaking!

out-of-it

today i called in sick for the first time since... eh, ever. i've been so miserable lately. i'm so "out-of-it" that my apartment resembles that of a crack addict. clothes strewn about everywhere.. prescription and over the counter medication left unopened in any opportune shelf space. i cant seem to shake this cold. i decided to go see a doctor today. i went online and found a doctor that coincidently is orginally from brownsville. that was a pleasant surprise. Right now the diagnosis is a torturous blend of bronchitis, asthma, allergies, congestion in the lungs, sleep apnea and hypertension. yup, im gonna die. :/

i hadnt realized how bad i needed medical attention. :( i just want my head to stop pounding, i want the chills to stop; i want to breathe; stop my eyes from burning; i just want to fo home; i just want sleep; i just want to rip my mangey hair off my head; im just so tired.

im going to go crawl under the covers now. :
