there's a little black spot on the sun today

So today wasn't much different from any other day. Just a little work, some sun (while working), and now just a little bit of "The Police" and some homework. I did have a weird dream last night about having a class reunion at my old high school (I can't believe it's been 4 years). Well, I guess time flies when you live in Florida.

two jobs

In a way, I am kind of like Superman. Bear with me as I explain this in detail. I have posted about the job that I have in minute detail, and in this job, I assemble bicycles, furniture, grills, and other odds-and-ends. However, I have another job that very few people know about. My second job is farming. Yes, you read that right, I am a farmer. I own a small plot of land, grow veggies, and even have some chickens to take care of. Many of you readers are unaware of this fact, but it is true. My first job is very much like a Clark Kent ordeal. I go to work, slave over the daily duties I am assigned, and receive pay for it. But, when I return home, I put on my cape and take off my glasses and become Superman.

After reading the above paragraph, you probably think I am lying, but I am not. I am just merely revealing the surface of the truth. In all actuality, I am not a REAL farmer, but I own a video game called Harvest Moon, in which you control a farmer. Gotcha didn't I? I play video games still, even though most people look on them as adolescent or useless time wasters. However, if I were only limited to playing one game, it would be Harvest Moon. Not only do you control the farmer, you are the farmer. It may seem a little mundane, being a farmer and all, but with added features, such as marraige, you become involved in this mundane world. In the latest game in the series, you have 10 potential wives to pursue, and I have narrowed my search down to two. They are:

Gwen: Even though she has red eyes, which may be a deterant to some, her blonde locks and her awesome 80's fashionwear give her two thumbs up in my book.



Eve: Oh! What a perfect name for a perfect woman. Her Spanish attire has me (or rather my character) bound in knots. Her sultriness is a sight to behold by any man (real or computer generated).

Hopefully one of these two will be mine to have and to hold soon.

I know that you must think me crazy to be writing about a game in such a doting manner, but it truly is a great waste of time.


STORY TIME!!!

When I was playing this game the other day, I had some gel in my hair, so it stood straight up. Afterwards, I put a bandana around my head to look cool, even though I was at home and nobody was around. When I was walking around in the game, I noticed a character who looked eerily similar to my then current appearance.


When I showed my mom the picture of the above character (whose name is Kurt), she started to laugh, because she saw the striking resemblance between her handsome son and the dashing man in the video game. However, I do not put gel in my hair often, so I end up looking like this guy most of the time:

back again

I am sorry about the lack of posts on my blog. Of course, I am sure that not many people are interested in the writings that I occasionally post on here. I do it entirely for the lack of interesting things to do in my free time and for los madres de azucar that love my blog. Whoa! I just took a glance at the clock on the computer and it said 7:47....you know, like the airplane. Anyways, not much has happened that makes my life even half-way interesting. I work, I go to school, hang out with friends, etc. I can't wait till I get to Flagler (sigh). I'll post some more later on.
