Well... I will start off that it is Wednesday November 10th... and tomorrow is Veteran's Day.
It is so sunny out with blue skies... something we haven't seen for a while. Although, this fall... the waterfalls has been very full; more than I can ever imagine. I suppose it makes up for the dry falls during summer time. I love having my bedroom window open to hear the falls!
I'm feeling very ecstatic for some reason... good for blogging!
This morning after I woke up, I took Black Jack for a walk. I don't know what Mom put in his breakfast earlier in the morning but... he was wound up this morn! I wish I had his energy but it definitely put me in a good mood. The cat, as well has been acting crazy too.
Brit made me scrabbled eggs, as I read my daily bible passage... which was a good one. The passage was from the book of Luke - Chapter 11, verses 1-10; Jesus' teachings on prayer.
I still have to get some laundry done, and I'm feeling really ambitious to go out for a run... I just need to hydrate myself and do an AB/Upperbody workout beforehand.
This week has been Tech week for 'Pirates of Penzance' in which I acted upon as choreographer for the show. The cast has been fun to work with, and doing pretty well this week. It is sure to be a good presentation! I've been having the phrase "How pitiful his tale... How rare his beauty!" stuck in my head today.
A run tends to stir up my thoughts and emotions, so that is why I titled this with Part I... that is hoping I can get back to blog more!
Alas, the first blog of the November month!

SATURDAY March 27th... and that I need to BLOG more!
** I miss blogging! I mean, daily or on a weekly basis I do journal... sometimes I feel blogging helps me connect to others around me, because you'd be reading about what's going on in my life currently... Not sure if people would be interested in reading old journal entries of mine, but here goes a recent one** ~Trent
Saturday March 27, 2010
Well, my alarm clock went off at 7AM... Did I get up? No. Did I text a friend? Yes... and yes 7AM is early for a text message!
As I grabbed my morning coffee, I found Mom in the living room with her cup. The original film, THE CUTTING EDGE was airing on ABC Family Television. It surely brightened my day.
J.M. had gotten a late start to the day... so that had pushed things back an hour 1/2, and that was fine by me. I have my ipod with me, and enjoying a mocha frappiccino.
I was looking at music by Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, and the Original Broadway Cast Recording of "Mack & Mabel" - all at a very reasonable price! I also saw some albums of Ms. Renee Fleming which also grabbed my short attention span which takes over so well in a store such as B&N! Music, and books... with a cafe; I go crazy!
No idea how my meeting will go with J.M. ... I can only be thankful, and grateful for him availing his time to meet up with me. I wanted to brainstorm topics of discussion, or something! I feel so unprepared...

Well, I put some things down of thought. Finally, I believe J.M. is on a bus to B&N... it seems weird to say, I vaguely remember what it was like... to rely on Public Transportation.

Trying to keep up with blogging... no it's more like LIFE!
Well... all I can say is that it's been a while. My weekend was nice, and calm for the most part. I headed out to Oneonta, NY to visit my friend Enoch whom I have been talking to via the internet for six years now. It was the first time meeting him. It was also the first time taking a road trip by myself and more than a 2 hour drive. I have a feeling though under 3 hours is all my 1990 Toyota Tercel can take! Anyways... as I said all in all it was a good weekend. I am in my last week home before I head back to college for my Senior year!! Where has the time gone... lord knows! I mean he really does.
I woke up this morning around 5:45 AM... getting to bed just before 12-midnight. I don't know if it's adulthood kicking in, or that due to certain circumstances... I cannot sleep for more than 6 hours - granted I do take naps here and there throughout the day. Some would say PLENTY of naps in a given day! This morning I woke up to find my parents beat me getting up... some thinking it'd be the reverse :/. I started reading my first novel of SIX I am going to be reading during this fall semester. It's called Dreaming In Cuban by Cristina Garcia. Growing up, I wasn't fond of reading but I have fallen under the spell of what the written word can do... besides the use of worship/religious purposes, or figuring out how to do this and that, and the world news. It's a great feeling to say I can pick up a book and think to myself... I can't read that! It all comes down to basically overcoming obstacles. Speaking of obstacles, as I said I like reading and comng across words I don't know - my newfound, life vocabulary. I look up the word(s) for meaning then the next question is why did the author choose that word. It's the art form of writing , I suppose. Well since reading wasn't really my forte, I do brainstorm as much as I can before reading a novel if it's specifically about a certain time, or place... as Dreaming In Cuban clearly states. Well when I thought of Cuba initially... The dictatorship of Fidel Castro came to mind, and how recently his brother has taken over the country, I believe for the better of things! When I asked my Dad to spill out what he knew about Fidel Castro and all... he told me that one of his college roommates was from Cuba. I got all excited due to my interest in the spanish language. My dad expressed that he was only a roommate for only a month 1/2, but he fled the country under Baptista's regime. Later, my father found me reading and informed me - Castro took over Cuba on New Years Day - 1959. A simple thought of mine, regarding Cuba is that the capital is Havana or if you want to be fancy... La Habana. While reading a book... I take notes like crazy.
There was a sentence I came across in which I loved: "Pilar's eyes, Celia fears, are no longer used to the compacted light of the tropics, where a morning hour can fill a month of days in the north, which receives only careless sheddings from the sun." It was the way Garcia wrote what she wrote that just made me in awe. Is that sentence true, or could it be true in regards to being in the United States vs a country in Central or South America? My interest is because I have never been down to Central or South America since I was born - of course. Well I hope I don't desert you again, my dear blog!
Peace & Love Always!
