Bought a BBQ!

Last night was pretty damn awesome! After being here for nearly two months and barely knowing anybody, I was so excited to finally have a friend that I had to go out and buy a BBQ this afternoon! I also purchased a nice garbage bin for the patio. Woo!!! I am gonna enjoy cooking up some juicy steak on this bad boy! While enjoying the outdoors and admiring my BBQ, Victoria came over for a quick visit. Hehe, I showed her my new BBQ! I also noticed that my yard is going to need some attending. I have some dead plants that need to be removed. I took a photo of my yard and compared to the neighbors… I eventually got some gardening to do. Well, it’s almost time to head off to work.

Me and Genevieve Hit it Off!

Right on! I’m just hanging out with Genevieve at the Rattlesnake, yes I needed another night out. We are happily drinking together and having some pretty damn good fun. So, I guess its official, Genevieve and I are now friends. This gal is awesome, she brings out the party animal in me, ohhhhhh yeahhhh baby!!! Rock on!

A Jealous Individual

I just got home from work, it was a pretty good first day back. I got to do another live performance tonight, and this time the crowd actually enjoyed it. The last couple of times I did a live performance the crowd got angry. The last time I ended up yelling at them. However, tonight it was pretty slick. Of course there always has to be something. One of the other dudes who was performing got angry with me because the crowd didn't care for him. He started giving me hard time, but I turned the situation around and made a fool out of him in front of the crowd. Unfortunately, I lost some job performance because apparently my employer said I could have done a better job at handling the situation. Go figures…

The Morning After

Wooahh!!! What a night! I have such a bloody hang over, and I have to be at work in a few hours. It's a mess in here. There’s clutter and spoiled food all over the counter and table, old coffee sitting in the machine, and there's even a spilled bag of garbage on the floor.  Oh well, I had some good fun, but I can't seem to get that girl from last night out of my mind. I wonder who she is... Well, I guess it’s time to clean this mess up and prepare for my first day back at work. I am not looking forward to this.

The girl from last night

That Girl...

It’s about 4:25 AM, and I am still at the Blue Velvet. I was just chatting with, Stephon. I turned and I saw this girl looking in from the lounge… I froze. The feeling that I got was Déjà vu. My heart was racing and I had these cold chills running down my spine. I was going to go and talk to her, but she left very shortly. I wonder what her name was… I guess I am going to head home soon and get to bed. My two days off are over and I gotta go back to work tomorrow.

This is the girl who I was talking about, the one looking in from the lounge across from me and Stephon.

Having a Blast at the Blue Velvet!

Woo! I am having a blast tonight. After Victoria left, I decided to take a trip to the Blue Velvet. I’m having a pretty good time. I was just hanging out with, Stephon, the bro I met a few nights ago here. He was just telling me that he comes here all the time. This guy is awesome, defiantly a cool fellow who keeps things happening.

I ordered a special drink called the Spicy Salt Zesta, or something like that… I have already had a few drinks before this while partying it up, so names can get changed around a bit, heheh! I wanted to enjoy this one all by myself, so I sat alone as I sipped back on this delicious fiery burning liquid.

The night only gets better! I also ran into my cousin’s fiancé, William. I haven’t really met him before. I have only heard about him through what Cassi has told me. So, we sat down and had a drink while we got to know each other. This dude is eventually going to marry cousin who is pretty much like my sister.

Well, the night is still young, it’s only about 2-3 AM, I got some more partying to do.

A Surprise Visit from Victoria

I was having quite the good snooze and then suddenly I was awakened by a knock on the door. I go to answer the door and I see my cousin, Victoria, standing out there. That was quite a nice surprise, I wasn't expecting any company today. 

I showed her around my place and we just chilled by watching some TV and talking for a while. I even showed her my piano skills. Meh, she knows I'm still a rookie, lol, but she pretended she liked listening to me play anyways. 

Later in the afternoon I cooked up some fish tacos! Unfortunately, cooking really isn't my thing, and I may have lightly burnt the food. However, Victoria seemed to enjoy eating the fish tacos anyways, she didn't even come to sit down to eat, lol. 

It was getting later into the evening, and we talked for a bit more. She is such an outgoing cousin and really creative too. She really loves her Smartphone. I also took some photos from the evening which can be seen below.

Uncle Martin is in Town

It was a long day, but I did end up going back to the Rattlesnake after the gym. When I returned later, I ended up running into my uncle Martin. I guess he must have just moved into town a little while ago. It was good to see him, for I haven’t seen him for ages.

We were trying to catch up on old times, but it was pretty loud and busy tonight. There was also some jerk, the guy in the muscle shirt, trying to pick a fight with me. He kept on interrupting me while I was trying to talk to my uncle. Martin was getting a bit upset as well.

So, I ended up arguing with that guy for a chunk of the evening, we through insults back and forth at each other. Uncle Martin ended up kind of laughing at the situation, and then he started doing some pretty weird stuff near the end of the evening.

Genevieve was also at the Rattlesnake tonight, but I didn’t really have much time to chat with her since I spent most of my time talking with my uncle Martin and arguing with that thug. However, I did manage to get in few words with her just before we all left for the night.

Spent a Few Hours at the Gym

Pumping the weights like ironman, hitting the bags like a champ, running like a cheetah, and sweating like a pig. Man did I ever have a good work out! I began on the weight pulleys. Hehe, as you can see in my video I am badly out of shape.

The punching bags were slightly better, but I still got a lot of work to do. I ended up spending some of my workout time talking to a gal by the name of, Halle. She told me she was a gym rat but also creative. She's definitely a happy one. 

Afterwards, I decided to join the woman on the treadmills! My running is actually not too bad, I guess cardio is my thing. The gym was pretty packed tonight. I took a photo of the weight area of the facility, you can check it out below.

Hmm... I still got some energy left. Maybe I will head to the shower and go back to the Rattlensake for a couple of drinks.

Ended Up Hanging Out With Victoria

I'm having a great afternoon chilling with my cousin, Victoria. I ended up hanging out with her instead because I went to Cassi's place and she wasn't home, I tried knocking on the door several times. I guess I should have called first because she lives quite a distance from me. Anyways, I called up Victoria and we are now here at the Rattlesnake. I am beginning to like this place a lot, it's a classy bar! We are having a really good time, lots of laughing and joking. It sucks that I can't have much to drink though because I am going to head to the gym soon.

A Beautiful Afternoon

Well, I am just enjoying some nice coffee and some scrambled eggs before I head out to Cassi's place. It's a nice day out. The sun is shining and it's a good day to breathe the open air!  It sure feels good to get a day off from work. I took a couple of photos of the area around my house, you can check them out below.

This is my lawn.

What the Heck!?

Well, I am about to go to bed. After a day like this, I need the sleep, and I gotta get up early tomorrow so I don't visit Cassi too late in the day. However, I wanted to share this before I crash.

I just pulled out some of my old video footage that I took a few days ago at the Rattlesnake. I had quite a few drinks there and was pretty drunk, so I was going all out with the video recording. I completely forgot about this!

Some little kid just walks into the bar at around 2-3 am in the morning. He walked in, stood there for a bit while he looked around, and then he walked back out. Like what the heck, where are this kid’s parents?

Finally, a Couple Days Off!

Today wasn't the smoothest of days, but thank god I got a couple days off. I think it's almost time to buy a new bed because I woke up with sore back.  I tried to sooth the muscles by having hot shower but the shower is so cheap it felt like hail hitting me, I might replace that soon too. To help put a positive mindset in before I go to work, I put on some nice classical music while I had my lunch and prepared to head out. Buying the stereo was one of the best things I have ever done, music is great.

To help make the day worst, I got home and checked the mail, and I bloody owe over 300 dollars in bills. I couldn't help but slam the mail box... I tried relaxing by watching some TV, but it wasn't happening. So, I figured I would try and have some fun by going to the Rattlesnake for a few drinks. I got there and I found somebody digging through the garbage, I guess I am not the only one who was having a bad day.

It was pretty lively at the Rattlesnake, the crowd was watching some kind of an event on TV, but I just couldn't find any interest. I tried talking with some of the folks, but I wasn't too enthusiastic in the conversations. I went to the bar for one final drink before I headed home. I spent the remainder of the night thinking deeply on my patio chair... Oh well, that was my day. Tomorrow, I am going to visit Cassi and then head to the gym.

Hanging With Genevieve at the Solar Flare

Yes, it was time to go out for another drink tonight. After I cleaned up the garbage and got something to eat I headed out to the Solar Flare. I have been on a big drinking binge for the last little while. It seems to be the fun thing to do when you’re the new guy, and of course I want to get out and meet some people!

Speaking of people, I ended up running into Genevieve again. She came up to me at the bar and started chatting it up. She is such a wild gal! Genevieve seems to be always enthusiastic about everything. I think I kind of like her, seems like she would be a pretty decent friend to hang out with.

Hehehe, we ended up acting like fools and dancing like a bunch of drunkards, but it didn't stop us from having fun.

Afterwards, we sat on the couch together and got into a little more deeper conversation. She began telling me more about herself. I already knew she hates commitment, but tonight she also told me that she hates children. Meh, I guess that's her thing. I still think she seems like a lively gal!

After Genevieve left, I wanted to take a shot at telling jokes over the mic, yes I was pretty drunk. I am beginning to build more confidence in front of crowds though.

Near the end of the night I couldn't help but go back for one more drink, but damn the bartender was sure taking her bloody time to serve it. I got into a little conversation with the other two people sitting there, but nothing much... I just wanted my drink. I eventually got it, and damn was it ever good, it was a special!

Well, one more work day and I get a couple days off. I think that's when I will visit my cousins Cassi and Victoria and maybe take a trip to the gym. Well, I'm heading off for tonight. I had quite a few drinks, and I gotta get some sleep... Only one more day of putting up with angered crowds, and then I can get some peace of mind.

Trouble Makers in My Area

I just got back from work to find my garbage can kicked over again. This is now twice in the last few days. There are some real trouble makers in the area, it kind of reminds when I used to be a young teen. I was always getting into trouble. I guess I am now getting it all back. I can't wait to catch the individual or individuals who keep doing this. I will show them...

Some Photos of My Neighborhood

Well, I am almost late for work, I got up very late. Heh, I guess I had too much fun last night. I have only an hour to get ready and to get some food into my stomach. I hate being rushed. Before I head out, I just wanted to share a few aerial view photos of my neighborhood. I am still the new guy in town, but I am really enjoying the place so far. I think I may pay my cousins a visit soon. Anyways, here are the photos! I gotta get to work!

This is my home!
