“To him she seemed so beautiful, so seductive, so different from ordinary people, that he could not understand why no one was as disturbed as he by the clicking of her heels on the paving stones, why no one else's heart was wild with the breeze stirred by the sighs of her veils, why everyone did not go mad with the movements of her braid, the flight of her hands, the gold of her laughter. He had not missed a single one of her gestures, not one of the indications of her character, but he did not dare approach her for fear of destroying the spell.”

-Gabriel Garcia Marquez

M&M's

You and I should get away for awhile
I just want to be alone with your smile
Buy some candy and cigarettes and we'll get in my car
We'll blast the stereo and we'll drive to Madagascar

Because when I'm with you there's nothing I wouldn't do
I just want to be your only one
I'm grasping out at straws thinking back to what I saw
That night on the floor when we were all alone

An amazing song for such an amazing story.

Proud of my bro Zack Jones.

You are a true blessing my dear amigo

Probably one of the most amazing performances i have seen.

I have had this whole album in my head. It is definitely worth the time.

The melodies and the almost post-death setting of the concert will give you

chills. Almost like if Kurt was foreshadowing his death through this concert.

Enjoy,

-Al.

Todo por lo que sufrimos

Por lo que luchamos

Por lo que sentimos

Y por lo que vivimos

Todo lo que nos une

Nace

De adentro.

-Por Que Yo Puedo

So....got done with my internship and my summer project...and gained a couple of pounds by sitting all day in front of a computer. I dub this summer a good one hahaha.

The project took me around 2 months. The only problem i ran into was to take pictures of family members. There were only a few that wanted to actually help, some of them i had to get creative and take the pics without them knowing of my intentions. For them, it was just a picture and a shutter opening and closing at high speed.

I feel very content in finishing such project, i have had it in my mind for almost a year now. At first, i wanted to do some JBU people, but somehow that never got to happen. Opportunities fell from the sky while i was here in Nicaragua, i had a camera available, i learned how to operate a camera quite nicely (way better than photography class) , and i also developed the ability to "SEE" potential pictures and light sources.

Either way, enjoy the video.

-Because I did.

I am working at a national network.....it has a cool feel to it.
I get to see how they make every single show they air on TV. I got to meet some of the hosts and actors, and i even got to edit some of videos for them. It has been a good experience, yet i can be better.
From there, i went to see the last Potter film, Transformers, and Cars 2. My cousin came back, and my sister is playing Call of Duty. It has been a great week so far.

Also, i had an interesting conversation with my father. He basically nailed me. It is amazing to see how much we are alike. He told me a number of personal experiences of his that go parallel with my own, and he deduced all of this with out me telling him a word.

At the end, he gave some good advice i needed to hear.

The man knows me
