Family Values

Been a while since I've posted anything...quite frankly, it's tough keeping a blog updated and it doesn't really do much for me LOL. A lot has happened since my last post. Most notably:

This past weekend I was at my cousins baby shower...I was eating and just talking to some of my family when I saw my 4 year old nephew swinging a stick like a light sabre. He was just outside of a doorway so I couldn't see everything that was going on..I walked over to ask him to be careful and when I got there, an older and bigger kid was backed up into a corner holding a coat hanger saying "Don't hit me, don't hit me!" While my nephew is going completely JEDI on him...all in good fun LMAO. So I tell him to stop, he might hurt someone...later on, one of my older nephews walks up to me and says "Uncle Al, you know what happened? They were playing rough and took J****'s coat hanger away so C***** (my niece) gave him the stick and said "use THIS J****!" I started laughing so hard but was so proud of what my niece did and how these kids stick together...moral of the story: DON'T MESS WITH FAMILY! LOL

I lost my job in July and after 4 months of collecting EI and struggling, I finally found a job that's 15 minutes away from home. Not as much pay as I'd like, but right now the position doesn't have TOO much responsibility and I save a lot on gas and travel time. It's a good opportunity for me, don't know if that's true or if I'm just being positive LOL It'll be enough to pay the mortgage and that's good for now...better than unemployment and struggling.

Manny Pacquiao destroyed Miguel Cotto and is now considered 1 of the GREATEST boxers of all time...in my opinion he IS the Greatest Boxer of All Time, not that I'm biased or anything. This win is huge because the motherland got hit with a really bad Typhoon during Manny's training. There was a huge outpour of support and a lot of the boxing games biggest promoters forked out huge cash to help the P.I. recover...doubt they would've done that if Manny were from a country other than the Philippines. His victory also gave the P.I. something positive, Filipinos were united in cheering our guy on. Full of pride because a Filipino repped our heritage and epitomized the fighting spirit of our culture...but alas, a few weeks after the fight is done there are reports of murder, corruption, kidnapping and crime...Filipinos killing Filipinos.

Other than that, I released a few mixes at the podcast site: http://uptownmixes.mypodcast.com Can't wait to start working again...once the cash flow gets back to a manageable state and everything is stable, my next 2 major purchases will be a T.V. and Serato. Not sure which one first...tough choice. Should really start messing with the production software I've had for oh so long....just too lazy to learn it LOL.

My son is growing so fast, I love him to death...that has been the absolute best thing about having no work the past 4 months, the extra time to spend with him.

I'm honestly getting bored of blogging right now...no wonder I don't do this often...sitting here saying to myself, I'm back at work in 2 hours. Why the hell am I wasting my time on something most people wouldn't care about? LOL...hungry...later...
