In an effort to liven up this blog, I have recruited the efforts of a few guest bloggers. Of course, I am still the head honcho 'round these parts so...I can kick your ass out:

1) If there is no mention of how girls talk to much
2) Discussion on the work ethic of dung beetles
3) Why O'doyle rules!
4) Argument on style vs. form
5) Debate on West Coast G-Funk vs. Midwest Backpackers vs. Drrrrty Souty vs. East Coast Hardcore
6) For my own pleasure.

Didn't get an invite...

It's because you talk about yourself too much.

(Think I need more guidelines for this whole guest blogging shizzle.)

A few weeks back, I went on a date with Lora. I picked her up from her parents place, and we went for dinner, followed by a few drinks. We go back to my place, fool around a little bit...and end up falling asleep. It was probably around 1AM.

Before coming to my place, Lora had never mentioned that she needed a ride home. When she fell asleep, I assumed that she was going to spend the night, but this was not the case. Around 3:30 AM, she wakes me up and tells me she needs a ride home.

You cannot be serious.

I try unconvingly to get her to stay because it's 3:30 in the morning and I really don't feel like making the 40 minute roundtrip drive from my house to her parents house.

She tells me that she has to go home...her parents will be worried...that I don't know what it's like because I'm a guy and I can spend all night out without coming home.

Oh, by the way...Lora is 28 years old.

I wake up, put on some clothes, irritated as someone possibly could be at 3:30 AM, and reluctantly walk down to my car only to realize Max is blocking me in.

I'm straight out yell, "Fuck! Max is blocking me in! Now I have to go wake his ass up!"

Lora did not appreciate my vulgarity/ insensitivity.

She tells me to not wake Max up, and ends up getting a cab ride home.

Yes, you read that last sentence correctly -- transportation via taxi cab.

Did I sit and wait with her in my complex's lobby while the taxi came?

Nope. I was sound asleep in my nice comfy bed.

Anyway...we got in a little fight about that whole incident.

True, I was mean.

But still, I think I had some justfication for my lack of sensitivity.

----------------------------------------------------

Flash forward a few later.

She got over the whole incident, and we went to dinner this past tuesday. I met her half way at a cuban restaurant in Alhambra. After a nice dinner, we're in the parking lot...and I ask --

Lora, would you like to come over?

Are you gonna give me a ride?

No. (Remember, we had met half-way).

Okay, well, I'm gonna go home then.

Peace.

-------------------------------------------------------

45 mins ago.

Phone call. Caller ID says: Lora.

Andy, I just think we should be platonic friends.

OK.

Cuz, your a nice guy and all...but we're at different places.

True.

And I just didn't appreciate it on Tuesday, when you I asked you for a ride and you said, no.

Ummmmm....ok....

Because, you could have redeemed yourself from that night a few weeks ago.

WHAT?!?!?!?!

Yeah, it's called redemtion. I wanted to come over. You could have given me a ride. You could have saved yourself.

Uhhhhh...it's just a short ride. You and I both drove. It makes absolutely no logical sense for me to drive you to my place and then back to your car.

Exactly, it's a short ride. I know you don't like to be inconvenienced, but why couldn't you do it?

Uhhh...yeah, I'm gonna go to bed now.

You're so insensitive
...and why can't you listen to me
...and why can't you have some regard for my feelings
...and I'm trying to understand where your coming from, why cant you?
...and...
...and...
...and...

BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH

Yeah, I'm going to bed now. Good nite. Click.

Women really do thrive off the emotion that men refuse to acknowledge.

When groovin on the dance floor with your lady...

Give her a little twirl.

Women love it.

South America. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

(Hope I'm not over-hyping this.)

Flava Flav: definitely the prototype hype-man for any rap group.

Things done changed in the past year.

Matt moving back home.
Me moving out of home.
Me living with Max.
Dave living with Connor.
Jenn out from Philly to the Bay to NY.
Everybody got jobs.
Getting trashed isn't a priority.
Getting sleep is.

Anyway, I still enjoy this blog. I've been hard on myself lately for hitting somewhat of a stagnant state within my creativity. That should change. I just haven't had time to sit, process my thoughts/ emotions, and reflect.

Maybe I move to Montana with Phil Jackson. Sit. Meditate. Reflect. Chill at home with the pen and the pad.

BAH! Self-reflection...

There'll be plenty of time.

Right now the priority is paying rent, and sleeping.

Anyway, onto the Kid, Matt Costello. I've always admired your colorful personality which simultaneously exudes:

Compassion infused with intensity,
Nonsense combined with sheer brilliance,
Uttermost sincerity mixed with hints of irony.

Happy 25th.

South America Appreciation Post



Yeah, so what if my preconceived notion of Brazil is the Holla and Beautiful Videos from Ja Rule and Snoop.

Those are some mighty fine images if you ask me.

Talking to my portuguese friend, Ernie, today and he tells me...you haven't seen beautiful women until you've been to Brasil.

$1700 on the Platinum Plus Mastercard will get you a roundtrip ticket to LAX -- Montevideo -- Rio.

$1700????? OMG.

Fuck it. Like my main man out in Chile said....

We're 25. And we're good looking.

I mean, I don't know about homeboy on the right....but dude on the left is one strapping lad.

Looks charming too.

Prolly works out.

Ancestors are from the jungles of Southeast Asia...

...Survival is in his blood.

...Bronze is his natural skin tone

Has a tatoo...so you know there's a little deviance in the guy.

South America fellas. Get ready for some serious serious NONSENSE.

I first played Fantasy B-Ball about 4 years ago making Steve Francis and Stephon Marbury my first and second round picks, respectively.

Yeah that was a mistake.

The key to Fantasy B-ball???

Forwards and Rebounds.

With that said, check the 04-05 Fantasy B-ball lineup:

Elton Brand: Good for 20-10 nightly.

Jermaine O'neal: Good for 20-10 in a conference full of 6'8 punies.

Erick Dampier: Yeah it was a contract year in GS last season. But 12-12 are fantastic numbers. All he'll be asked to do in Dallas is play some D and rebound.

Antoine Walker: Good for 20-7-4 as the first option in the ATL. Of course the 33% Field Goal percentage is gonna hurt.

Jamaal Magloire: Octupus arms himself averaged 13-10 last year making his first all-star selection. With Mash out and Baron Davis as the only other option, look for those numbers to go up.

Matt Harpring: Token white boy??? Hell Nah. Harpring's a grinder in Sloan's scrappy offense in Utah. 16-8, if he stays healthy.

Glibert Arenas: Personally, always thought he was little overrated. But this is fantasy here, not reality. 20-5-4, if he keeps his head on straight.

Jerry Stackhouse: I'll take your monkey ass to the rack, like Jerry Stack. Probably my favorite line in J5's the game. Anyway, 14-4-4 sound like reasonable number in Dallas this season.

D-Miles: Finished strong in Portland last year with lines like 12-4-2-1. Look for him to contiue the momentum.

Oh and if you didn't know...I'm really good at fantasy sports.
So now you know.

----------------------------------------------

I'm a big fan of Antonio McNugget...I mean McDyess. Former Gold Medalist with Career High Averages of 21-12.

Anybody remember a few years ago when the '01 Nuggets led by Van-Exel led the revold against their coach and ownership.

McDyess had nothing to do with that cuz that was the year he blew out his knee.

Then he blew out again with the Knicks in the preseason.

Anyways, he's healthy now. Look for a Common-like resurrection.

SI did a nice feature on him in the Piston Scouting Report.

I definitely can't hate on Detroit. They're a solid team all-around. And they will win the title this year.

Watch McNugget get sixth man.

-----------------------------------------

Love talking sports.

As a result of my turbulent childhood, I generally hope for the best.
But expect the worst.

Anger fuels creativity.
Creativity is only worthwhile if it is appreciated.
I wonder if my creativity is still progressing or if I've reached my potential and just tweaking a level set years ago.

Be good to your family.

Did I seriously break up a fist fight in my classroom yesterday?

Am I ulcerating?

Did Max seriously pour me three shots of Patron last night so I would go out with him and all his Asian Lady Friends?

Did I seriously down all three within a span of 5 minutes?

Is my head spinning?

Do I really want to go to work?

Yo...Connor, Dave, Jenn, Baruti, Matt, Carlos, Josh, Veronica, Chad, Dhaven...

I miss you all. We need to hang out...soon.

Mos Def doing spoken word at Cal State LA on the 23rd...

I'm going. Who else?

Everytime work starts stressin you out...just start thinking about those you love.

Ok...not helping.

Keep on thinking about the 40% high school dropout rate amongst mexican immigrants.

These little 14-year old girls in my class?

Can't multiply...

...but are always eager to participate when prompted for help in passing out papers and erasing my whiteboard.

Think about it.

(And Max was definitely wrestling with an older asian lady in his room last night. Lots of giggling.)
