The past two days have been mixed with depression and euphoria.
The agenda for Friday was to relax and have lunch with my girlfriend, Kelsey. After that, hangout for a little bit, then go to my friend Adam’s house and have a marathon of movies with his girlfriend, Rebecca.
As the day began, the agenda began to be slightly altered. Around 7 in the morning, my uncle wakes me up, and asks if I would like to go shopping with him and company (Grandma and Uncle's friend (Joe)). I say yes. As I was nearing the end of my shopping spree, I was trying to get a hold of my girlfriend, Kelsey, and see if we were still going to have lunch around 1, along with going to the snow with Adam and Rebecca. To no surprise, there was no response. So my uncle and company along with myself decided to go to Islands. I finally receive a text from Kelsey around 130 in the afternoon saying "yes and when does everyone plan on going to the snow", and with the news that she has an appointment at 245. Since Rebecca was working out and Kelsey having an appointment at 245, it seemed that I was not go to make my uncle go out of his way to take me back home. So when everything was done with, we arrived back home around 5 in the evening. I then sent a text to Kelsey and letting her know that the movie night was still a go at Adam’s house that night in about an hour, and to let her know that I was sorry about not being able to go to the snow. She says "ok, let me ask my mom first". So, it turns out that even though this thing had been planned days in advance, she still didn’t eve bother asking and asked if it was ok with her mom. So, I guess she talks to her mom. Around 6 I get a text saying "I don't think tonight is going to work". In my head I was thinking "whatever, not a surprise, now I have nothing else to do. But no way am I going to spend another night at home because she canceled on me." So I just said, "Alright. Well you have a much busier schedule than me. So, whenever you are available let’s do something. I barely even see you." So instead of staying home all night, I got a hold of Evelyn and asked what was on her agenda for the rest of the night. She said, "Just come over, we can hang out and watch a movie." I said, “Sure." then I was on my way. I spent the rest of the night hanging out with Evelyn...
The agenda for Saturday was to pick up Evelyn so she could come with me to the Mills to get my earrings. Then go to my friend Carlos's house and watch UFC ULTIMATE from 630 to 11.
Around 1 in the afternoon I arrived at Evelyn's house. From there we went to the Mills. From there we went back to her place and watched a movie. Around 545 I leave. I arrive at Carlos's house around 640. During the 5th match Adam starts texting me about some party near his house, and was talking about picking up Kelsey to go see a "Late Movie". I really didn’t want to go to the party. I really wanted to stay and watch the rest of the fights, and definitely watch the main event, which was up next. Before the end of the second round I get a text from Adam saying, “Do it for me then." I was thinking damn it. So once the second round ended, I borrow Carlos's home phone to call Adam and see what’s up. He tells me to CALL Kelsey, so I did. I called twice. And both times the call was disconnected or dropped on her end. So I was like "Fuck it." So I go back downstairs and see that Griffin was K.O.ed by Evans while I was upstairs. So I'm mad for a few reasons now. I missed the main event, Adam wants to go to some party with his girlfriend, and he wants me to take Kelsey to it as well. I can't even get a hold of Kelsey. So I say my goodbyes, and leave. As was nearing the 210 freeway, I finally get a steady signal, so I call Adam and let him know that I'm just going to go to Kelsey's house and see what was been going on. We hang up. A few seconds later, I receive a text from Kelsey saying, “I’m sorry, I have horrible service. I'm in Pasadena." Once a read the text and the words finally settled in my head, I was pissed. I left Carlos's house for no god damn reason, and I missed the last 3 fights of the this year’s UFC ULTIMATE 93, Kelsey is in Pasadena, were I thought she couldn’t do anything because he had dance and her supplements to finish. And if she did happen to finish what she had to do then maybe she would have let me know that she was available so we could hangout. But no, instead she decided not to tell me anything, and have nearly no communication with me all day, and suddenly say she is in Pasadena. So I just sat at a park off of Mountain Ave and clear my head. I wouldn't have been so pissed off if I have been hang out with her more often that what I have been. So now my night was nearly ruined. So it’s about 1030 now. I decide to race off of Mt. Baldy Road. So after calming down, I head home. I arrive home around midnight, change into some sleeping shorts and attempt to do this post. Then I crash around 1.

Christmas Eve
Christmas eve is the few hours before chistmas morning where everyone in ones family within a 50 mile radius go to someones house in the middle to spend time with family you can't stand all year, and fake joy.
There are ups and downs. In my family, whenever we have large get-togethers, my cousin Dominic and myself sit with my uncles where they talk and share their drunk stories. From ducking and dumping chicks off their boats in havasu, to getting into fights with herds of taxi drivers in cancun, and the usual bar fights. Sometimes the occasional controversial issues. Artificial intelligence, 2012, Mayan heritage(which really isn't controversial) and you get the point. I'm am of Mayan ancestry for your information.
Then there are downs. The ride through bumper to bumper traffic there and back is always a hassel. Then everyone has that one annoying uncle who shouts when he is talking to someone right next him.
Haha good times...

Cheating In Relationships
Ok, here is the layout of this post. Two main categories of flirting. Then two types of flirting. Afterwards why men cheat. And finally, what I consider to be cheating.
Two main categories of flirting
-Sexual
where the person feels no emotional connection with the other person and is basically only interested in that person for sexual purposes and the excitement that sleeping with that person may offer.
-Emotional
where a person finds themself becoming emotionally connected to another person. They may greatly enjoy that persons company, talking to that person, and sharing their concerns and thoughts about life with her. they will begin to feel as though they would rather spend their spare time with than person rather than with their significant other.
--FAST FACT- In a recent survey, a little over 75% of women said that emotional cheating would leave them feeling more betrayed than sexual cheating. However, many of the women also reported that it is very hard to separate the two types of cheating because both would affect their feelings for their partner on both levels of the relationship.
--FAST FACT- Most guys -- 74%, according to an AskMen.com Dating survey -- think that cheating starts with a kiss. In other words, sexual contact constitutes cheating. For women, however, a kiss doesn't even have to be part of the equation.
Two Main Types Of Flirting
-Innocent Flirting
If you joke around with the receptionist at your office, that's one thing.
-Provocative Flirting
If you have an ongoing sexual conversation with the barrista at Starbucks, in which you describe what you want to do to her in private, then that's something else.
Why Men Cheat
10)Your lady doesn't put out.
-Every man has heard that the best way to get a woman to stop having sex with him is by marrying her. Apparently, long-term relationships seem to suck the sex drive out of many women, leaving men gasping for fulfillment. With the need for more sex, some men will start "working late" more often.
9)She cheated on you.
-So you found out your lady was being unfaithful, and the only way you can relieve your anger is by doing the same.
8)It's challenging and exciting.
-If you consider the women you sleep with "sexual trophies," chances are you have already cheated at least once in your life. Some men simply cannot leave behind the thrill of the hunt, the chase and the conquest. For other men, the excitement is in the variety, like changing ice cream flavors for one day after years of sticking to just one.
7)You can get away with it.
-"What eyes don't see, the heart doesn't feel," goes the old adage, and it still holds true, as long as there are no cameras around. The knowledge that no one will find out and no one will get hurt is reason enough for some men to grab a different helping.
6)It boosts your ego.
-Nothing lifts the old self-esteem like discovering that other women still desire you sexually. When in long-term relationships, men may begin to question their sexual marketability, which will lead some of them to sow their clandestine wild oats. Once a man knows he can get back in the game, he'll return to his mate; or not.
5)The opportunity was there.
-It's an uncontested fact that most men can't say "no" to sex. Although guys aren't constantly bombarded with sexual offers, sometimes an irresistible prospect presents itself. Maybe it's a frisky ex-girlfriend, maybe it's a horny hottie on the dance floor. A guy may see it as once-in-a-lifetime occasion that might never be available again. Carpe diem , as they say.
4)Your girlfriend is a nag.
-Most men have experienced at least one woman who thrives on making him feel like crap. Constant nagging, fighting and squabbling in the right ratios is the best recipe for a headache. Cheating with another woman is a common escape from this domestic hell, and works better than aspirin.
3)Women let us.
-Truth be told, women are quick to forgive men for their unfaithful behavior. Maybe it's their fear of being alone, or that women are simply the more merciful ones of the human species. Some women might even blame themselves for their men's infidelities, and take steps to improve their relationships. The fact that many women let their men get away with murder might compel them to double deal repeatedly. Just ask Bill Clinton.
2)She doesn't turn you on anymore.
-Long-term relationships have the annoying habit of making people lazy. No longer concerned with staying fit and attractive, a committed woman might lose the allure she once had. Her man may simply not find her beautiful anymore, and making love to her is not as stirring as it once was. This is why most mistresses are gorgeous, young women.
1)You don't love her anymore.
-Alas, after a long time together, you have lost the feelings you once had for her. But the relationship has remained too much a part of you. Separating seems so painful, so radical that it's almost inconceivable. So instead of separating, you go elsewhere to get your physical gratification. Most times this does not help matters, but only prolongs the inevitable breakup.
--Cheating might feel good as a quick escape from your problems, but it's only an anesthetic -- not a long-term solution.
What I Consider Cheating.
10 words, 1 comma and 1 period. "Engaging in any sort of sexual contact, beginning with kissing."

The Merchants of Cool
"Frontline" The Merchants of Cool (2001)
Teenagers in America number more than 30 million and command over 150 billion dollars in disposable income. They are exposed to over 3000 advertising messages in an average day.
In contrast to adults, teenagers respond to whatever is "cool", as determined by the trend-setters of the moment. This documentary examines how businesses seek the ever-elusive "cool" and use it to sell products to teens. Alas, once corporations find cool, it soon ceases to be so; this means marketers are forever searching for new products and strategies to capture the attention of their target audience.
This documentary also looks at how real life and TV life are blurring together, acting like a feedback loop to push popular teen culture towards more violent and sexual behaviors.
To me this documentary, free for ones viewing at PBS.com, was very captivating. It shocked and disturbed me about how much money is spent to make even more money and sort of "plan" what will be the next trend in months to come. Unless you are a GDI, otherwise known and a God Damn Individual, which in this world is very unlikely but still well within the realm of possibility.
So, pretty much, everything you see out at the clothing stores have been carefully advertised and marketed to reel you into buying their products.
Just fyi on what I was thinking about this December 5th evening.

3 Things I Dislike
3 things I dislike are bro's, gaybashers, and homophobes.
Bro's, because they are always blasting their DGAF music and not giving a fuck about anthing. Just as one of my classmates had said once. "I believe that we should gather all the bro's and send them to some secluded island and let them brat brat with their motorcycles."
How did the style of bro come into existance anyways. Oh, let me wear a lot of black and white clothing from famous stars and stripes, hostility, and affliction with skulls all over it. Let me drive trucks and lift them to an overly excessive height to where it will be a lot easier for the truck to flip over because I DGAF. If you are a bro and actually reading, show me that you can type as well by using the keyboard below your screen and leave me a comment. I'd love to hear what you have to say about my post. Try to be civil. Trying to act all badass over the internet is like running for the special Olympics, your still retarded. In all due respect to the participants of the special olympics.
Gaybashers, because they are destroyers of equality and human rights. Gaybashers believe that they have the right to beat someone and harass them due to their sexual orientation. I believe that is wrong. Personally, I have no problem with the gays. I do not care what they do nor with whom they do it with. I'm just waiting for the day that gays, lesbians, and bisexuals are truely considered equal within the borders of the united states.
Homophobes are probably one of the stupidest fears that one can have. Being afraid of someone who is attracted to someone of the same sex. How can one honestly believe that someone that is gay will suddenly appear and sexually harassed someone or rape them. I find that stupid and conceited. Stupid since you can compare it to, if you are a man being afraid of a woman, or a woman being afraid of a man. I find it conceited due to the fact that out of all the people out there, you will be the one to be sexually harassed, are you really that full of yourself to believe that every gay person out there wants to do something sexual to you.
And a reminder...
To refresh you, the reader, that all of my posts that you read are coming from an openminded, thinking, straight man.
