I don't want to wonder

So I have had a good 3 days off. I went to Plaza Art in Downtown
Nashville and bought me self a screen printing kit. I have so much to
learn in screen printing. We made two baby shirt designs using screen
printing. It was fun! I am having so much ideas in screen printing and I
am currently learning how to do photo emulsion methods.

Yesterday marked 4 years of being with Jilana. I am absolutely still in
love. She is the most amazing girl and I am so thankful. She has the
most amazing smile. And everyday seems like a miracle when I wake up
with her by my side. From this point on, I really can't imagine a world
without her. She simply blows my mind. I really hope that till the day I
die she will still be there by my side.

So I have set a few goals:
-Learn how to do photo emulsion Screen printing
-get my school stuff going
-purchase SD airline tickets for June
-practice playing guitar and singing
-play at a SD venue

I have more to come but those are the things I am currently working on.

P.S. I say this a lot but work SUCKS.

For those of us that keeping on remembering

So I got this cd that my sister told me to listen to and its called 'She
and Him' and it is by far one of my favorites. I love it a lot.

Two days, we did a 3d ultrasound in Downtown Nashville. It was awesome
and crazy. Our baby has dimples! I'll post up some pictures. I can't
wait till Emily Jane is born.

I love this season. Even though I hate the cold, I just love the spirit
or feeling I feel when those trees start to turn colors and fall. I am
really excited for a few things coming up. My mom is coming home from
the Phillippines and she will be helping me get my school stuff
together. Jilana and I are going to the same school!

Well I am on company time. Yeah, work sucks.

Work sucks! I know!
I been taking all my days off lately and they have been good. I saw role
models the other day. That was some good ass comedy. On Monday, I bought
a soothing spa and shower for our baby, we also bought hangers to start
organizing her clothes. We also bought a lot of microwavable foods and
watched Get Smart that night. I think I'm getting fat.

Today is my last day before work begins again. Nashville gets really
boring. We have pretty much seen everything there is to see here. Me and
Jilana went to re-register for the baby shower at Baby's 'r' Us and then
went to eat at a Thai restaurant. Pineapple fried rice is actually good.
After that my customer called and decided to purchase a car tonight. She
didn't even want to work with anyone so I went to work for 20 minutes
with Jilana besides me. I really hate it when customers call me on my
days off. It bugs the shiz out of me. When I'm off I just want to focus
on myself, friends, whatever I am doing, and Jilana. I put all the stuff
involving work in my small cubicle and start back with it when I am on
the clock.

After I sold the car, I changed back into my clothes. I didn't know
finding something to do was going to be such a hard challenge in
Nashville. I couldn't think of anything else to do. I felt like shit
because I felt I wasn't helping Jilana and her increasing boredom she
was having. We went to Walmart to see what's up but we left out with
nothing. Shits. All I could think of was playing my guitar, my D80, and
some lovely music from Broken Social Scene and Feist.

Well, Nossi will keep me and her occupied while we are here in
Tennessee. I don't see myself here very long. But I do see myself here
trapped very long. Haha. We'll see what works out. I like San Diego,
Chicago, or Jacksonville.

Don't worry now, it's over

Yesterday, I had e-office and work from 9 till 9pm. Blah, blah, blah.
Work is boring. I had a good e-office shift. So around 1pm I got to
drive to Atlanta and pick a car up for a customer. I snuck Jilana in the
car to come with me. I got to drive a Chevy Malibu from our store with a
full tank to pick up a Dodge Charger in Atlanta. Atlanta is awesome.

Atlanta to me was beautiful. Especially underground Atlanta. I had a fun
road trip. We drove back to Nashville and arrived home at one. I would
love to do it all over again except stay for a few days instead of an
hour.

Oh yeah! I'm going to Nossi

Make a plan to love me

I always wake up earlier than Jilana. And it is really challenging
trying to wake her up.

So one of our goals me and Jilana had set up was to buy something big
for ourselves before I was born. I thought to myself how about a laptop?
Or a flat screen TV? No, an iPod! Oh, the possibilities were endless!
But these were things I wanted and it had to be what we both wanted. So
I had the best idea today and made it all worked.

After assisting a customer in a transfer, we went straight to Wolf
Camera to look at ...Cameras! We didn't know how many good DSLR's are
out there. Originally I had my heart set on a Canon XTI but my lady
wanted to see each other options. We got to shoot and play with other
options and finally after an hour and a half we got the NIKON D80. It
has my name on it, too! So whatchu got on these, SON! It came with lens
(18-55mm). I bought a UV filter for the set and two 4 gig memory cards.

I am real happy about this camera. There is so much to learn on the D80
and so many things you can do with it. Today, I will be going to the
bookstore so I can get a book to better understand and learn my new SLR
(the manual super sucks).

Alright, it is time to try and wake Jilana up...

We're murdering our lives trying to make things right

Wow. It's been a long time hasn't it? Well let me start off by a lesson
I have learned for the year. With the economy falling down, the
situation with this whole house me and Jilana are in, our daughter on
the way, and the cruel decisions of having to stay the summer in
Tennessee instead of a good "vay kay" in San Diego, I've learned that
you will always have to struggle before you actually reach to that point
where everything is almost perfect.

...And I have reached to almost perfect.

I've been better at my current job and keeping up. I have figured out a
way to play the game in paying bills. I am seeing all these cool clothes
and materials for My Daughter. Jilana has taught me so many things about
myself and I can't thank her enough. I am going to school to major in
business and marketing and I am certainly going do many things that I've
always wanted to do.

I deeply apologize to Honey, Irene, Aimee, and Cey for not being able to
keep in touch as much. I completely understand if you feel that I am not
a good friend especially since I couldn't fight or find my way to make
it in San Diego since everyone has even worked hard to help me visit. I
want you to know that no matter what happens, nothing in me has made me
change how I feel for each and one of you and that is unforgettable and
loving. I love and miss all you guys so much.

So I as soon as I can get a laptop and the camera me and Jilana always
wanted (she doesn't know about this blogger and how I will be surprising
her with a Canon Rebel 20d) I will be doing a photojournal! I will be
doing an online and a hard copy photojournal. I am terribly in love with
pictures and music right now and I am starting to have enough time to
pursue both of those together.

I will update on more of these soon! I miss and love you guys.
