Just got back from Austin. Yep. Austin. Give me a bit to get caught up here and I'll write all about it. Maybe.

Yes, I am still alive.

Ciao,

Sergio

Oh man!

I guess I didn't post as often as I anticipated. Oh well. Let's see what kind of crap has happened to me since the last time I posted. Let's begin:

1) The first weekend in my place was a disaster. Ok, maybe that's an overstatement. But it wasn't pleasant. Meaning, it wasn't pleasant when water began to pour through the vent and lighting unit in my bathroom. Turns out the guys shower above me would back up and drain into my unit whenever he took a shower. Yay! Dirty bath water all over my floor. By the way, there is still a hole in my ceiling from the developers trying to fix the problem. That was three weeks ago.

2) My girlfriend, the one that I thought would be perfect to bring home to mom, just gave me the boot this past Saturday. Not face to face. Not on the telephone. But through a text message. A text message. Let me say this one more time. A TEXT MESSAGE.

What the @$#%!

I mean come on. This is just proof that the world we live in is going to shit when one can't have a simple conversation with someone about how they think someone else is a douche bag. And I'll admit...I am a douche bag.

3) When the temperature dropped like 20 degrees last week, and everyone was turning on their heat, I wasn't. Want to know why? Because my heat wasn't working. Want to know why? Because the developers of the "no gas, all electric" building I live in failed to tell me that the HVAC system that heats my unit runs on gas. On gas. Let me say it one more time. ON GAS. And, that I have to turn on the gas myself. By setting up an account. With the gas company. Instead of it being included in my assessments. Like they said it would. On gas...what a bunch of a@!holes!

Why is it that no matter what I do, I always seem to get myself into a world of shit. Oh well. This just confirms that my life is nothing more than one bad decision after another.

When it rains it pours.

So I closed on my condo yesterday. But that's not the bad thing. That's the good thing. The bad thing is, everything that could possibly go wrong did. Well, not really, but it felt like it.

Anyway, here is a list of things that pissed me off about this close:

1) The seller nor the seller's lawyer attended the closing. This created many delays causing the close to take over 5 hours. That was bullshit!

2) After I closed, I went to go park my car in my new parking spot. Unfortunately, the garage door opener was broken. So I skipped parking there and went to work.

3) After work, I tried to get into my unit, but the keys didn't work. I couldn't even get into the condo that I just got done spending my entire life savings on.

4) The renters of my place in Crestwood decided they want to move in this weekend instead of next weekend. So I've been scrambling to pack my shit up and get ready to move out.

5) This is the one that was the roughest out of all. My mom was admitted into the hospital on Monday night because of headaches and memory loss. But don't worry. Fortunately, she was released today. They ran tests and found nothing wrong. I'm praying it was just stress. My father can be a bit much sometimes.

Nonetheless, it was kind of a lot to deal with in one week. Like I said, when it rains, it pours.

It was inevitable.

Doomed love.

If I said it once, I’ve said it a million times. My life is nothing more than a series of bad decisions.

But that’s fate for you. I guess that’s why I’m destined for failure.

Why is it that the grass always seems greener on the other side. Especially when it comes to dating. If there’s nothing that pisses me off more, it’s my abilities to talk myself out of a relationship in search of something better. Something greater.

That my friends is the reason for this spontaneous post. For years I used this blog to write about how shitty my life was. How no matter what I did, I was bound to be alone. But then, something weird happened. Something unforeseen. I started feeling happy. And life, for a moment, seemed like it was going to be ok. As a result, I haven’t posted anything since November 1, 2006. Not bad if I do say so myself.

However, all good things must come to an end. And now, I’m back...with more tales of disappointment and melancholy than ever before.

Cheers everyone!

I’ve missed you.

Went to a Halloween party last night. It was fun. I took a lot of pictures. Want to see? OK...then scroll down.

Who is this crazy lady? 

Oooh...spooky halloween lights. But they're red. So more like christmas lights being used for a halloween party. That's fine. It still made the porch look spooky. 

Mmm...candle lit butter. 

I couldn't take my eyes off this light. Now, I can stare at it forever. 

Nice pumpkin toaster. 

Here's a cool picture of a painting...and a lamp. Nice lamp. 

Another cool picture of a painting. 

Just me and my shadow...and a shadow dog that doesn't like my shadow. I don't blame him though. 

Just like any other side mirror picture; only at night. 

My place under construction. 

My soon to be view 

So this past weekend I went to New York for two of my good friends wedding. They asked me to film the whole production, but I was able to capture this spectacular picture between filming. Isn't it sweet. It's the bride in the foreground with her mom in the chair getting her make-up done.  

And this is a picture I took of their beautiful wedding cake. Isn't it awesome. Oh, the cake is nice too.
