The Dentist!

Tiana and I had a blast from the past and stayed at my mothers house last night. Tiana has a dentist appointment this morning, so we thought it would be easier to stay in winter park since the doctors office is downtown. Tiana chipped a tooth rider her bike while she was with her mother, so as usual sandra bangs her up and I do all the doctor visits! Jimmy was happy that I spent the night we went to the movies last night and saw the movie "Zodiac". I thought that the movie was really good, just a little long. Jimmy fell asleep before the movie even started and then told my mother that he didn't like the movie when he woke up this morning. He spent $7.50 to sleep in the movie theater! So, it is seven thirty and we are headed out the door!

Magic game.

I went to the Magic Game with my step dad, little brother, and his little friend. We had great seats down next to the Magic bench, and could see all the Magic Players. We were so close we could smell the sweat on their jerseys. Here are some of the pictures. There are here kind of late, but here they are better late than never.

This One's for Uncle Bob!

From what I remember my Uncle B0b is a squirrel hater so these pics are for you!

This kill was accomplished with the help of my nine year old brothers sniper scope air riffle!

Hats of the World!!!!!(Fun With Sean)

Yesterday I had some good old American fun! Beer,Family, and Disney World! The theme for my day was "Hats of the World!" You can probably guess why it was called this, but for those readers that are completely dense, let me explain. We walked around the park stopping at every country and finding the hat the the country was know for. Then, we would put on the hats and try to attract as much attention to ourselves so that a small crowed would gather around us, and then we would ask one of the on lookers to take our picture or some times be in the piture.(U.S.A.) It was lots of fun! My cousin, Red Sox Sean flew down with his wife, Laura, for a weeks vacation and to see the Red Sox play some spring training games. My other cousin, Saipan Joey works for Walt Disney and was off from work, so I thought that a long lost family reunion was in order. (Since their not related and they had never met.)
Joe was nice enough to get us all in at a very affordable rate into Disney's Epcot Center! (Thanks Joe!) Here are some of the pics from our glorious day!

I'm Cold!!!!!!!

Tiana has the today and tomorrow off from school, so we are doing the normal day off activities.... park, movies, hanging out, and relaxing. When we left the house to go to the park I didn't think that it was that cold out, I was wrong. I am sitting here at the park freezing; however, tiana who has less clothes on then me is doing just fine. We'll be here for another half an hour and then go grab some subs from publix...yum. Can't wait, I'm hungry! After that we're probably gonna go and see a movie, who knows. I'm just glad that I get some one on one time with T!

Lazy monday........

I should have known.....I woke up this morning and ask the age old question......"Tiana, do you feel well enough to go to school?" I should have known that she was going to say no. Wouldn't you? She claimed that her throat was sore and that she still just did not feel all the way better. (those are her words) I felt her head and checked her temp. and she did have a bit of a fever, so I decieded that she better just rest all day, and rest we did. We both woke up around noon. We watched a couple of movies and then cleaned the house.

After cleaning the house we headed to my mothers house to pick up Tiana's backpack that she had forgotten there on friday. Not a very productive day, but at least I am well rested. Tomorro I plan on doing "stuff" haven't figured it out yet but it will be good.

I'm sick!

This stinks! My sunday has been lost to me being sick! So what does Alex do when he is sick, you ask? A-B-S-O-L-U-T-L-Y NOTHING! But don't feel bad for me, Tiana was sick friday and a little under the weather today, and today she was stuck at the house watching about 15 movies, not exactly what a six year old wants to do on her week end.

I havn't written in a while so let me catch everyone up. In the past couple of weeks I have quite my day job, done lots of catching up on sleep due to the lack of work in the mornings. My average time of waking is about 1p.m. It's great! I will most likely be looking for another day job some time next week when I am feeling alittle bit better.

scince I haven't posted anypics in a while here are some pics of what I have been up to in the past couple of weeks.....

Enjoying a night out!

Dinner with Cousin Joe at my place.

It's about time!

My big brother finally added me to his friends list. He originally took me off because I wasn't keeping up with my blogg. I sure hope that I don't let my writing slip so he cuts me again!

Sunday morning, in Florida.

Couldn't sleep last night. It's funny how when you are really tired after working a lot, you can't sleep. I worked 18 hours yesterday, and all day the one thing on my mind was "I can't wait to get home and get some sleep". When I got home around 1am I needed to wind down and relax, so I did, until about 4am. Then, I awoke bright and early at 7:30am! I think that it is because I work every other day at that time, funny how that works, the one day I want to sleep-in I can't because my body wants to work. I tried going back to bed, but that didn't work! So here I am typing away when I could be sleeping.

I talked to my cousin Mike Hope last night for a little while, he sounds like he is doing really well. I hope that I will be able to go and visit him either next month or in febuary. He made me feel really old when he told me that he will be turning 30 next month. Where does the time go? He said he'll be coming down to florida sometime in febuary or march when the plane tickets get cheaper.

I'm still taking the Zolfot, and I think all in all it is helping. However, I still get panic attacks once in awhile, but they don't last as long and they don't carry into the next day. Every time I had one I had had a drink, so I have decided to stop drinking completely until I have run thru my meds. The mind is such a crazy thing, I know that most of my symptoms are all in my head, but for some reason they keep coming back. I wish I had a new brain.

Work is good. I have been making good money for the past week. Tis the season. I wish that Christmas would last all year round! The one thing that I have realized after working so hard for the past couple months, is that I really need to go back to school so that I can get a job and make some real money. I feel like I have the potential to do great things, and it is being wasted on waiting tables. The recurring comment that I get from my guest "Here's my card, call me when you graduate, I could use someone like you". It is starting to get old. People seem to think that I am a great people person and that I can sell just about anything to anyone, but I need that damn degree for anyone to consider hiring me. New years resolution......GO BACK TO SCHOOL!

Tiana is doing great, she is in kindergarden and loving it! She is one of the cool kids at school. She misses her uncle Angelo a lot! So if your reading this you need to come and visit! She asks me at least once a week "when is Uncle Angelo coming home?" She looks more and more like me everyday, I can't get over it.

My love life is fine, no big news. Still with the same girl, no wedding bells in the near future. Girls are a pain in the ass. I'm considering becoming a porn star and just saying fuck it to relationships.

Gonna go and try to get some sleep, write more later.

FOUR DOUBLES IN A ROW!!!!

I have been working a ridiculous amount of hours so that I have some extra cash for the holiday season! Tomorro is my last one, and I have so much to write about. So until then.......

Playstation 3......

After the game we went to Walmart for some house hold items and this is what we saw when we arrived.......
I took this picture with my phone, so the qaulity is not that great. If you look close you can see about 100 people camping infront of the store. Why are they doing this you ask..........? They are waiting for the arrival of the new Playstaion 3, which comes out on Friday the 17th. Crazy! Not for me....

Magic WIN!

Kristen and I went to see the Orlando Magic stomp up on the Denver Nuggets tonight! WOOT-WOOT! I was originally gonna work tonight, but I got a call around 3 o'clock from an old freind (Sean Sullivan)telling me that he had an extra ticket for the game tonight. At first we wern't gonna go because he only had one ticket but since Kristen hasn't ever gone to an NBA game I thought that it would be fun to go and check it out. We arrived at the game about 15 minutes early planning on getting some scalped tickets. However, when we arrived at the game Sean had already got us two tickets...............but.............we wern't sitting next to eachother! I didn't think that it was a big deal because I thought that we could just sneak in and sit where ever we wanted to.........and we did..........until we kept having to get up because people kept showing up, and we were in their seats. This got really annoying! Kristen ended up getting pissed off because we couldn't sit next together and walked out of the game! She made it as far as the parking lot.........got in the car......and started to drive off.........then she listened to me and parked.........and we went back to the game. I bought some scalped tickets from some guy for a low price, and they were floor seats! Kristen got over her little hissy-fit and we both got to enjoy the game. The seats were really good! I have never watched a game that close before. The court looks so much bigger when it is on T.V. With all the drama of Kristen throwing a "Wally" we only missed about half of one quarter. So we still got to watch pretty much the whole game.

The Magic ended up wining the game 108 to 99! Woot-Woot! So what started off as a rocky night, ended up being a really good one!

Back to normal!

I can say that I feel 100% better! The only difference is that I have to eat toast in the morning so that I don't puke! But I feel better! It is great!

Feeling even better!

Today is really the first day since taking my new meds that I am feeling good. I only blew chunks once! That is a big deal, since usaully it happens close to ten times before noon. I am about to get dressed to go to work, hopefully I will make lots of money! I work doubles for the next two days, I am really not looking forward to it. I am gonna have dinner at my mothers house on sunday, so I'll let you know how I feel after working a bunch!

Feeling Better!

So, I am almost half a week into my meds and I am starting to feel better. I have been taking it wicked easy! I haven't worked since Saturday; I think I needed the rest. I am trying to get back into writing on a more regular basis, mainly so that my brother puts me back on his friends' list on his blog. I was insulted that he took me off, so if you are reading this Angelo, PUT ME BACK ON!

The past two days I have been spending much of my time with my family. I think my daughter enjoys the time with her 6 year old aunt and 9 year old uncle. My daughter is almost 6 years old....... where does the time go? It feels like just yesterday she was crawling around on the floor, and now she is asking for make-up and beauty supplies.

My mother just pulled out a home baked apple pie from the oven, and I have to go and buy some vanilla ice cream....

I know that my writing is all over the place, but I haven't written anything in a while so hopefully if I keep it up it will get better!

Zoloft!

So, I've heard that if you work hard you can achieve anything. Well, it seem that the only thing that I have "achieved" is a prescription for Zoloft. Apparenly I have a panic disorder, where I get panic attacks all the time. It sucks! The worst part of it now is that the only real worry that I panic about now is if I am going to get a panic attack. That sucks even more! So yes...... all of my hard work has turned me into a little depressed bouncing ball. I start my meds tonight, the doctor says that it should start kicking-in in about a week and a half. I hope so!

In other news....... Emily (Angelo's GF) came home yesterday! Woot-woot! I gave her a grand welcoming back by being almost two hours late to the airport! ( I was at the doctors, getting my Zoloft). Sorry Em..... I tried to make it up to her by taking her out to dinner. So on the way to drop her at my mother's house we stopped at Don Pablo's, which is a Tex-Mex reasturant. We got to catch up and chat, she kept saying that she was in culture shock....... looking at the menu.... and.......what?.........no SPAM! After dinner I dropped her off at my mothers house, we all hung out for a couple of hours and chatted. It was also the first time that my mother and jimmy spent any time with my GF Kristen, I hope that she still likes me after meeting the whole family!

Some random pics......

I know that I havn't been keep'n up with my blog, however, I have good excuses. Well, for one........ I'm lazy! When I'm not working one of my jobs, or at the gym, or hanging out with tiana or kristen, I just like to sit around and do nothing. So therfore my blog suffers! Sorry all! Not that many people read my site, but......whatever!

And once again I don't have time to write much, so....hope you like the pics.

TODAY!!!! The Day Of My Birth!!!!! The Big 25!!!!!!

Today is my birthday! Probably the most uneventful birthday that I have had up until now. I was supposed to have dinner with a family member, but the dinner got cancelled. What's new. Had to work this morning at 6:30am and got finished at around 3:30pm. Uneventful. After that I spent the next three hours running around tieing up some loose ends. It's about 7pm and I am just sitting around not doing anything, and don't have anything planned. Well.......since this has been my worst birthday ever, they can only get better. Trying to be positive! Oh yea, on top of everything, I am getting SICK!

80 HOURS A WEEK!!!!!! .........I'm tired.

Sorry for not putting up any posts latley. I am still trying to get used to working two jobs! It's not easy! My next day off is next thrusday, so I will try to put some new post on that day.
