With spring creeping in and making everything all sticky coomes the complete loss of motivation. I managed to make my steinbeck paper one page doubled spaced of complete suckking. Im just not feeling Grapes of Wrath anymore, even the characters suck. And I will admit I didenjoy writing about Steinbeck's chacters as they were always very complex. but Grapes is just... wandering. Its just them leaving their farm. I think i hear bats outside my window. Tandom but thats a vey strange sound. Like a dying chihuahua on helium? I can't describe it. Its a freaky sound. I don't like postingh mywriting on here cause it isnt good. But I don't know what else to post here. Im not very introspective or angry lately. I'm still cold and snarky, but no need to blog aout that. Now it seems I have o keep this forever, as an homage to a blog that was once my motivation to blog and has since been abandomed and deleted. RIP!

Writing A Snarky poem

0 comments

This may be the first thing I've ever written that's remotely funny. First story is about Ross from friends when he gets stood up. Second is about some person I know..... I wated to try writing something with such a serious title that turned out to be really ridiculous and ironic and funny. I'm getting better at comedy, not quite FUNNY yet

Tragedy and Misery

She’s an hour late
As you sit and wait
You sit, drink and wallow alone
Doesn’t it feel great?
On your first blind date
Joe’s Pizza picks up when you call her phone

Maybe she came
Maybe she saw you
Maybe she left then and there
You’ve been fake-numbered
You pitiful fool
Get up from that table; they’re starting to stare

Your life is nothing but plain ole tragedy
You wallow alone in self-loathing misery
Well I’m sorry life sucks, but please complain to another
Truth is I set you up with my mother
She’s been kinda lonely, thought I’d throw her a bone
One look at that pitiful pile, she was done.

He was so lonely
And she was the only
One who would notice him at all.
She said “I love you” in a letter
She tried and tried, he didn’t let her
Now she’s worse than him and has no friends at all.

Her life is nothing but plain ole tragedy
She sits and waits for him, miserably
Sorry life sucks, might you have a brother?
Cause your lover’s type isn’t far from yours either.
Now you’re kind of lonely, and that was a low blow
But your little boy toy wants his own beau.

Call it irony, call it tragedy
But problems follow these ill-fated fools.
Try to feel sorry for their misery
Try not to laugh at how their stories unfold
Try to sympathize, try to feel pity
Don’t hold it in or you might explode.

Don?t tell me your secret
Chances are I won?t keep it
To myself
Don?t try to rely on
And don?t you depend on me
Don?t trust me
 
I?ve got a strange disease
That?s taking over me
I don?t want help
Maybe I need help.
I can?t keep it all inside
The secrets you?ve begged me to hide
They?re tearing me apart
I don?t know where to start.
 
I guess it?s fine
If you can?t
Stand me anymore
I ruined it all for you
Don?t talk, don?t smile
All that?s left
To do is ignore.
I ruined it all for you?
 
But now I?m here alone
Begging you to come back home
Here with me.
I?m older and I know
There?s no turning back anymore
Memories swept away
In a brutal undertow. 
 
I?ve got a strange disease
That?s taking over me
I don?t want help
Maybe I need help.
I can?t keep it all inside
The secrets you?ve begged me to hide
They?re tearing me apart
I don?t know where to start.
 
I guess it?s fine
If you can?t
Stand me anymore
I ruined it all for you
Don?t talk, don?t smile
All that?s left

i'm very bored. i feel stupid whenever i'm in this class as we are being taught things that should be either a) common knowlege or b) taught in the fourth grade. I ended up with a 98, how I'm not quite sure as I got 100% on every assignment. But i'm not complaining/ i don't care!  it's useless, it's boring, i'm doing well, so what's the use? meh!!!
dan's on emmaus. i hope he got everything out of it that he expected/hoped for. Fr Benz sent out a letter to like 20+ seniors asking them if they'd like to lead one of the sophomore retreats. I agreed, not sure why. But at least I'll be able to be a part of an underclassmen retreat. I enjoyed my sophomore retreat much more than the freshmen one. I guess Im just glad to be a part of one??? I don't know. It should be fun/interesting to experience it from this new point of view. It's on wednesday, expect commentary afterwards.
I've been lazy, and have opted lately to write about writing, or to map out / write little side-stories in my moleskine. Now that I have 2 I doin't hae to worry about waste. Its frustrating to write. The only good feeling comes after it's all completely over with. Ironic that it's only fun when you're done doing it. But it is very fulfilling.
I try to write as much in this thing as I can before the bell rings. I have way too much time in this class to fart around. Ugh so boring. .... boring....... boring. I'm hungry, yet nauseous. I'm sleepy, though if I were home I'd be awake watching TV. And what I'd really be doing right now if I were home is too R for my PG blog. ta ta

i feel like writing about it. it's so great. it's that rare combinnation of hilarious and intelligent that is very hard to find in literature. often authors trade in funny foor stupoid and intelligent for even more stupid. Kyle Smith's writing is great. His structure is sort oof choppy like Hemmingway, but it works for him. He's sort of politically incorrect, but masks it in such a way that makes it okay to read. He shares too much about himself, err "Tom". "with all the man jam ive sent spiraling down my shower drain, i could start a sperm bank. a sperm switzerland. isn't this a bit childish of me? shouldnt i be using those sperm for something?" he's sort of emo, very paranoid, he attacks and criticizes himself every chance he gets. that sort of self loathing attitude makes it very difficult to not sympathise with tom, and feel bad for his loneliness. it's a great book ! go buy it

One of those surveys with INTERESTING questions!

0 comments

I don't like surveys. I only did that one before just to make fun of Dan's cutter poontang. But I really like that the questions on this thing arent retarded.

1. If you could have anything delivered to your doorstep each morning, what would it be? i hate the mornings, so i don't need anything but coffee. hm but delivered? Kona haha

2. What is one vacation destination that many people think is just fabulous but which you personally have no desire to visit (or revisit)? Australia. Hmm. no I take it back. I really want to go everywhere, even London. I'll go to London and go ga ga over the accents and not eat for days. Like Kelly's first London visit, I'll just eat bread.

3. If you were five years younger but knew everything at that age that you've actually learned over the last five years, what is one thing you would definitely do differently?Let's see, I was 12. That was when I went to school with girls, though underdevloped back then hehe. So... lose my virginity at 12.

4. If you could wake up to one smell every morning (besides coffee) what would it be? BACON!! I love whe the smell of bacon makes its way all throughout the house and into my roooom

5. Suppose that right now you could be at your favorite vacation spot, reading your favorite book, listening to your favorite CD, and eating your favorite food. What would be your choices for those four categories, and who, if anyone, would be with you?

7. How do you think you will look in 10 years? Still short! Maybe a little facial hair. Definately a tattoo. Probably less hair but still kinda long. I'll be 27, that's sort of adult, so medium length shaggy hair.

8. If you had to write a brief message on a dollar bill that many people would eventually see as the currency circulates, what message would you write? this money's cursed. americans are paranoid but would still use it. Hispanics would take it to the crazy spiritist on the corner for a cleansing, pray a rosary, light a candle... then use it.

9. If you could own a home on the shore of any body of water in the world, which waterfront would you choose? Is Hawai'i on the Pacific? Cause that's where I'm living.

10. Suppose you had the opportunity to choose 3 people with whom to eat dinner: a famous sports figure, a movie star and a popular singer. Who would you choose?
Athlete: One of the 2 volleyball winning girls from the 2004 summer olympics. Forgot their names, watched them on mute.

What will your new sign command drivers to do? lower te bass of your pimped out steros please. word up y'all.

12. What serves as the greatest motivation for you in your daily life?being cuban... really. its inspirational and makes me proud. i like seeing so many cubans who came from nothing strive to so much, and that gives me a little hope.

17. What lesson do you believe we must continuously try to master day after day? be colorblind. God is. don't be a racist moron. also, be an indiidual. try to stand apart from the crowd in a world that strives to make us all the same. don't be a robot and don't ever be easily influenced by others.

18. What is the most fascinating object in the sky? airplanes. How do they fly? "It has something to do with wind"-Monica Gellar.

19. What is the most boring speech you ever heard in person? I remember blacking out during a few homilys. Especially altar serving. I used to sit by the mic and one time, Fr Atillio was choking and in a thick italian accent turned o me, half asleep and said "Watah! I Need Watah!" and you know that laugh where you try to hold it in and it ends u coming out from your throat like a snort sort of but not. Yeah that echoed through the entire church. Then Deacon Tom got the water.

20. If you could have any round object in the world, what spherical item would you want? a bowling ball cause i used to be good... with gutter-guards. even without, i usually beat everyone.

All I'll Ever Be?

All I’ll Ever Be

 

Who do they think

Who do they think I am? And why do they care?

Why do they think I’ve got so much inside?

So much to hide?

 

Really, no secret’s safe with me.

Cause I have nothing left to keep

Nothing within

That’s worth hiding

And you

I really have no need for you

Or anyone looking to

Save me

Looking to define me

 

Maybe I’ve got something deep inside

Maybe one day I’ll regret

All those tears I haven’t cried

But for now I’m fine with who I am

Fine with not giving a damn

Maybe that’s me

Maybe that’s all I’ll ever be

 

I'm not very good at poetry. But I wrote this because I really don't like how I have no emotion. How I have virtually one layer. Sure I'm sad once in a while, but not wehen I should be. I'm uncomdortable with sadness, and I think I'm dead insisde. It's scary. People think I'm deepm, like I have so much inside that's boittled. It's so odd that this is all I've got

The Number One REason Why My Book Is Not Published Is......

0 comments

Because I have not written it. Pat Walsh writes this in the first page of his book "78 Reasons Why Your Book Will Never Be Published And 14 Reasons Why It Might". The main reasn so many aspiring writers are still aspiring is because they spenbd all their time aspiring and no time writing. That's why it is not wise for an author to talk about what they're writing, going to write, hoping to write, thinking about writing, planning to think about maybe someday writing. Talk is cheap. Sure it sounds nice "Oh I'm writing a book." It sounds pretentious, but it makes you sound brilliant and interesting. But are you really writing? Or just thinking about that one rare day when you'll have enough time to sit and maybe plot out some plot. Most writers don't have the fire in their belly necessary to get their juices flowing.
So if I do want to finish a book I have to start one. Novel's scare me. I'm good at short stories. Sure they can relate. But I haven't done that yet.

Frustrated yet HAPPY

0 comments

I write small in email blog cause I don't want people in the comp lab to read me. I don't know if they're nosy, but I know if I were in their place, I'd try to read it.I am frustrated because I created a word search for computer class and made it so hard so that ms glazer couldnt figure it out. After that I remembered I had to submit an already finished version and I can't find all of the words. It bothers! I'm happy cause hopefully I'll buy this thing tonight that will allow me to watch something while my Tivo records something else! THAT'S AMAZING! You don't understand. That's amazing. Hopefully it works. AAAH!
I'm figuring out the plot to my next story. About Lupe from the dialogue. She's going to be in America. Actually going to America. I've written a page or 2, but I'm going to add to the beginning and include A Fidel scene. It will be similar to Carry Me Home in the sense that she is going from Cuba to Americas, but way different because of the time period and the added effect of a child's fear and uncertainty away from her parents at such a young age. Ms Eaton said to never give your story up before you write it. So I'll stop there.

Phone call to Cuba (first story)

0 comments

"Do you hear me? Eyy can you hear me? All I can hear is an echo! Maybe it's the phone,. Oye Felipe! Pick up the other phone and say something! Do you hear an echo?"
          "Eyy this is Felipe Oscar Lopez! Yo soy un hombre sincero de donde crece la palma! Me oyen? Can you hear me? Ehh? There's an echo. Oye! Fermina! There's an echo. What do I do?"
          "Just try talking anyway. Oye, Lupe. Can you hear us?"
          "I can hear you, it's fuzzy though."
          "Well you know how bad the connections are. The operator took a long time today too!"
          "They always do. I miss you guys!"
          "Qué?"
          "I miss you guys!"
          "Qué"
          "She says she misses us caramba! Pero Felipe, can't you hear?"
          "It's the damn echo!"
          "Don't blame it on the echo!"
          "Long distance! You guys can talk to each other all you want later! It won't be long until your conversation with your daughter gets cut off!"  
          "You're right mija. Are you eating all right. You sound hungry. Did you lose weight? Tia Teresita seems like she'd be the type to forget to give my baby dinner. "
          "Ey! My sister is perfectly capable of taking care of our daughter"
          "Quiet Felipe Lupe's talking."
          "She feeds me fine, Mami. But you know there's nothing like my mother's cooking."
          " I know. I cook way better than Teresita does."
"Hey!"
"It's true!"
"I guess!"
"It is true, Mami."
"See?"
"Qué?"
"Are you sick Mija. Is school alright?"
"School's fine Mami. I got my report card. All As and a C in handwriting."
"Good Mija. You can't help your handwriting. Though I pray and pray and pray that the Lord fixes your sloppy writing, He does not listen to me! I don't know what I'm doing wrong."
"Fermina relax."
"No! She's left handed. And that was fine! But if she's going to write with the wrong hand she should at least have nicer handwriting. To make up for -"
You have One Minute Remaining On this call.
"Who was that?"
"The operator, Papi."
"Qué? What did she want."
"Stop wasting time! We love you mija!"
"Me too."
"keep eating!!"
"Alright"
"Are you sure you're not sick???"
"I'm sure. I love you guys."
"Qué?"

ideas for my next story once i perfect Amana's tale.
 
begin work on interrelated stories. Maybe tie everything together by making it all in one place. Think Steinbeck, Pastures of Heaven, but wityh more than just one interesting story. Not saying I'm better, but I have more fun writing and reacing my ownb work than reading Steinbecks. I know I want tocontinue writing about Cuba, it's what I know to do best. I want to maybe write stories that vary in length. From cute anecdotey stories of one to 3 pages to longer stories of family members an ocean apart from one another of about 13-20 pages in length. I'm not sure where to begin, it's a huge undertaking. But being in between stories is often a very scary, boring time. Usually after a story I'd write a poem to keep my mind working. But now that I don't have to submit any poetry, i don't have to make myself. Cause poetry is something I'm bad at.

I'm sitting in computer class with absolutely nothing to do... My damn moleskine is gl;aring at me. Empty pages just urging me to write on them, but I have to make it worth it. It's too tiny to write a story in. One of my stories would take up the whole pad. but I dont want to wastete it with silly poetry and lyrics that I'm really not good at writing. So I started by sticking a post it in it with a note to my moleskine. "Stop tormenting me!! If I write in you it has to be worth reading!" I'm too excited about a notepad

Intimidating Godforsaken Notebook

0 comments

Ms Eaton said writing in the little notepad is less intimidating than a giant sheet of paper or a blank computer screen. But now that I have my little book, its so teeny that I need to make every word I write in it count. I cant cross out in it. Its so tiny and clean and pretty. So why would I mess it up with nonesense. I need about 20 more moleskines before I feel safe enoughto mess one up. Ten dollars is a lot. I do look forward to writing in it though. But I'm still scared to mess it up I love it so much.

I was mean today. I didn't mean to be. But I was naturally mean. And that scared me. So I want to try and be nicer cause if it was a natural reflex... that's not good!!! I'll still do it to Muir though. I've been blurting out wwhat could be jokes if said in the proper tone, but the tone always comes out angry and hateful, I'm just bad at hiding my true feelings. But today those really weren't my true feelings and I felt bad. I usualy never think i'm wrong. Well I never admit to it. But I was. Wow. i must be gowing up.. hopefully...

Translating

0 comments

I've been translating songs, tryingto better my Spanish vocabulary. Here's one of my many attempts that I actually do not find teribble. Though it does need work

Just in case I never return
I will carry your lovely flag
Lamenting that my eyes never
Saw my people free again

Everybody knows clearly why
I had to leave my blessed home
See though I left I always felt
I’d return as quickly as I left

But the time keeps passing, fleeting
And your sun keeps crying, bleeding
Those stiff ties that bind you tighten
And I’m still sitting, waiting, and to my Lord, continue praying

And I’ve always said it proudly
As they envied my being born in your arms
And though I am not with you
A piece of me always remains in that place
-- Just in case
Just in case I never return

The moment is quickly approaching
When your suffering erases
We swear we won’t hold a grudge—God help us!
And we will all share together
The same joy, for once, God willing!

Though so much time has passed us now
With pride I have carried your name
And to all the skeptics of the world
I have told them of your beauty and your truth

But my dear homeland don’t you suffer
Heart of mine don’t break apart
There is no bad that lasts a hundred years
Nor any human that can withstand such age

And I never wanted to leave you
I called on you with each free step
And my love always remains there
A one lone flower there, in that place
Just in case
Just in case I never return

writing for fun

0 comments

Yes, it's worth it. It is worth the frustration and aggravation as the end result will be something I'm proud to have "given birth" to. I understand there's no need any more to continue writing, but I want to. And fee it will only do me good in the future to never let my skills rust up. I've gotten much more comfortable in the creative genre and I do not want to forget all the tools and techniques I learned last semester. It loosened me up and I fear that I may be ready to start my own story, withuut a teacher's guidance. Who am I kidding? I NEED MY TEACHER!! I don't have a due date! I don't wave a day to have a first draft done! I don't have to be done in time for a useless peer edit by a peer who has nothing helpful to say!! I'm not being graded Im not being rushed! I NEED TO BE RUSHED!!!

I do want to continue writing fiction as I don't want my skills to get rusty, but now that there is no need to rush I fear that I am becoming a lazy writer. There is no need to get a story down as now the time is limitless, I do not only have one cycle to finish a story. Now I could end up like Ms Eaton, whose worked on a book foryears. Or, God forbid, like Muir, who has never written anything and just aas a dream to become a published author someday. I need due dates, which Ms Eaton jokingly said she'd give me, since she noticed the joy I found in writing for her class. I will continue and have a good idea for my next story, I just do not know where to begin, or why I'm writing it. I no longer have an audience, though it was just an audience of one, maybe at most three, it was still an audience. I do not want my writing to sit on my hard drive as writers write because they are vain and want to share their "babies" with many. I want to continue, but fear it isn't worth it... I may just start emailing my stories to Ms. Wortman and never get a response. I'm atill waiting for a response to my "happy nondenominational holiday season" email.

I try to stay away from politics. Mainly because it doesn't interest me and I hate talking to people about it. The qwhole opinionated thing. Just bothers me and I'd rather not be a polittico. BUT I'm loving that the VERY FIRST HISPANIC inducted into the United Stattes Senate was a CUBAN! Robert Menendez! What an awesome name too! And he's CUBAN. America's not so stupid after all.
