The end of the night at the gym after a day where I watched some movies and played some video games which I hadn’t done in a long time.

Day #175 12/1/11: Rock and Roll…
A picture taken after work where it was a mellow day and I pretty much had the easiest day in a while and I can’t say that I earned my money that day as I pretty much conversed with co-workers all day and tried to find stuff to do as well. After work, I went home as me and my brother chilled with his daughter trying to maintain her behavior that is very energetic lately. I also started reading the story about Curt Flood and his battle against baseball and even though I’m not into the thick of it yet, I can see that baseball players are very complicated people and they have their own issues as well.
Day #170 11/26/11: Nemesis…
Quick recap of the day:
Watched more Wonder Years and watched one of the more enjoyable episodes Nemesis (“the bottom line” author’s note: this episode brought me back to how many situations come back to us and may hurt us in the end)
Talked to a good pal of mine at work about how he feels about relationships and how he went to extremes to satisfy his ex girlfriend which shocked me as to how smart he really is and how he makes me feel like I can just keep learning from these conversations.
and ended the night at the gym.
Day #167 11/23/11: Why is this van always here…
A pretty cool day where me and my dad once again made our bi-weekly trip to Costco and this time it was crazy seeing all the people wanting to get all their canned economical cases for Thanksgiving. I saw some people debating whether they wanted Turkey or Ham and I just said “they’re both good”. After wards I sat down and started making a blog post on some things to be thankful for and as well as helping my mom clean up a bit at home as there were some things we had to clean up. At night, I headed off the gym thinking they would close at midnight, but they closed at 2 the next day and I took this picture because this van always seems to be there when I go there and I’ve never seen anyone move it otherwise.
Day #113 9/30/11: Pay my bills…
A picture taken at about 9 at night after a quick shift I took for 5 hours or so at work and also after the gym. The morning was quite strange as I ended up having a stiff neck and I had no idea how I fell asleep except for the fact that the last thing that I remember was that I was watching Pablo Francisco’s Bits and Pieces on You Tube which is very funny if you haven’t seen it. One line that he had was that guys end up having songs that beg for a girl’s forgiveness but girls will have songs that just tear the poor guys up. True, but ironic indeed. Not a bad day at all, a lot of energy and some fun conversations with an old friend that had just come back from vacation as we had some great sayings to tell each other.
Day #89 9/5/11: Back to our regularly scheduled programming…
The vacation made me realize it was going to make it hard to snap back into reality as I worked with my mom this labor day to do what else? Clean our house which was very dirty since the last time we stepped into it and we did for close to 5 hours, cleaning the garage, the rooms, the bathrooms, and in and around the kitchen. I went to work as well to pick up my paycheck from the last pay period and I also saw some familiar faces as I anxiously was waiting to work once again. I ended up buying the new Chili Peppers albums which from my POV is a step in a new and different direction for the band as they are maturing as well as exploring other realms of music. Once we got home my mom and I saw my aunt who I hadn’t seen in some time as we all caught up on what was going on in Mexico. Everybody ended up making dinner as I provided food and such. I also ended up giving my buddy Ricky a call to see what he was up and it was strange talking to him because I felt like I hadn’t talked to him in months. But, all was well and we didn’t miss a beat as we caught up on what was up so it was great talking to him in that sense. That night I went to the gym and had a great time getting back to my place of peace.
Day #60 8/7/11: Studio 60 on the sunset strip…
Quick recap of the day:
Continued watching the only season of Studio 60 which was really funny and ironic.
Watched the Oakland A’s down the Tampa Bay Rays
Chilled with my dad and helped him with some household projects
Had some fun at work
and what is a night without the lovely gym!
Day #51 7/29/11: The beauty of a sunset…
You ever wonder how a day can go and you have one of those WCW retro days where one of many potential bosses at your job asks you dumb questions? Well, that’s what happened here when a potential boss asked me a bunch of questions I knew the answer to and she already knew the answer to them anyway as I was lucky to get off work and head off to the gym at 8. I was done by 9:30 and relaxed at home by watching 17 again and also WWE Smackdown. This is one of my favorite pictures so far with project 365 and I am proud to have gotten this far in the process. Let’s continue the streak! Great day where I also spilled Jose Cuervo Margarita mix and people passing by loved it.
Day #31 7/9/11: Are you mad?…
This was taken the hour of the beginning of the day and the day got off to a pretty good start as I worked out after work at the gym I go to and it was a very satisfying workout in terms of cardio and working out the muscles as well. I slept around 3 o clock that night and I didn’t wake up till around 12 the next day as I had little time to do much at home except walk the dog and watch Smackdown. Going to work was a different story as I found out I was working by myself that night as the other person had called in sick. I was upset by the fact that no one has even cared to do something about me working the night by myself and it was all incompetence based on the managers that work there. They felt that there were other important tasks to focus on but I just said oh well and people could tell on my face that I was upset about having to work by myself and a newbie went up to ask me if I was mad and I explained my situation which she understood but I don’t think she understood the ramifications behind working alone as she has a big team to work with and I had no one. The night went by slowly as I worked hard to get everything but in the end it wasn’t enough as expected. However, I went home knowing that I had at least contributed something to that Machine. I also had lunch with a good friend of mine who has expressed his frustration with the machine as well and I agreed with what he said as we both let out some pent up anger that had happened recently but he did about 80 percent of the talking as there has been a lot of shady happenings at the big red machine lately (people getting fired, writeups, relationships, drama etc.) But, I took in good stride as I don’t want to end up like a few that have ended up there for 5+ years and my goal is to leave by the end of the year.
Day #26 7/4/11: Beware of Dog? No maybe Dreams…
I took this picture after I realized that there wouldn’t be much of an opportunity to take one later on in the day as I had work at 4 and there was probably a lot of catching up to do at work as well due to there being a delivery as well. I took this picture after walking my dog and I also took this before the A’s just started tanking it against the Mariners (again!). I then realized that the dream(s) that I had the night before were somewhat strange as I usually think that dreams are supposed to mean something and not happen in the immediate future. They were kinda scary as I dreamed that my car was burned from one side or hit and that it was raining outside and then I had cops coming to arrest me for no immediate reason. Well, after I had checked the De Anza College website for possible counseling hours, I went to work and it was a pretty decent closing after all the chaos had settled down and some recent drama once again hit the Big Red Machine. I went to the gym and had a shortened workout due to me wanting to get up early ( for my standards) the next day for the counselor and then my brother had texted to me that he had an accident which was strange because I had a dream that was like that too, except my car was the one that had been burned or hit on the side. It was kinda weird too as I got home thinking that was some crazy shit that just happened and my brother was ok as he left his car at our house as the damage was minimal as nothing too severe happened to the car as the bumper in the front went all out to the front light. But I went to sleep thinking, be afraid of dreams and what they might mean.
Just Another Day...
