Awesome Pre-Halloween Weekend

This weekend was filled with tons of fun. The BOOby run and walk was a complete success. My mom came in 3rd!  They raised a lot of money for breast cancer awareness. Me and my mom went to Zia Taqueria after and grabbed some burritos. Then I went to a buddies house and played Dishonored all day to get in the mood for….the Transvestite Ball! The Tranny Ball was pretty sweet and I pretty much danced all night. I met some beautiful ladies (yes real females, not trannies) and got a few numbers. Halloween festivities never cease to amaze me.

I’ve also been working quite a bit since I started doing front desk at the hotel. It’s a whole different ball game behind the computers, checking people in and answering phones, but I can appreciate the responsibility and higher pay. I’m working on Halloween until 9pm, but after I get off I going to let loose and party like I don’t have an 8am class the next morning. Stay tuned, pictures will be up soon!

Spooky Weekend is Packed With Events

I almost forgot that I am going to be cheering on my mom Emily at the BOOby Run and Walk 5k. It takes place at 10 am Saturday morning, before I am at the KDUR Transvestites Ball. This weekend is going to be just as busy as it is spooky.

Come join us this Saturday, October 27th @ 10am for The BOOby Run and Walk 5k! This is a charity Halloween Costume 5k to help raise awareness and money for Breast Cancer Research.

The start and finish line will be at the Durango Discovery museum and run along the beautiful Animas River Trail, in scenic Durango, Colorado. Cost is $10 for adults 18 and older: $5 for ages 13-17: and FREE for children 0-12.

You can register by clicking the provided link below, or 9am at the start line the day of the race. You can learn more about this great event, or contact Durango Events, by following the provided link to the race website.

My mom and I made a short ad video for the event. http://bit.ly/P5qvkf

There is a facebook event page, too. I think I invited all my friends and acquaintances. If I missed anyone, I am sorry.

So, two great events in one day! I am going to be tired, but it will be a blast. Make sure you make it to both! I will be there ready to cheer and party on Halloween-style!

Laterz.

Spooky Weekend

I’m pretty excited for this weekend. You all should know that Halloween is my favorite holiday and I go hard! (as in my costume). I won’t say what I’m going to be, but lets just say it should be good. I’ll be attending the Transvestite Ball, hosted by Fort Lewis College’s radio station KDUR Durango. The event is pretty crazy and people really get into it, especially since the venue has changed this year to the Lost Dog. I’ll be working the door for KDUR so don’t mess with me or I’ll cut you! 

I’ve been feeling a lot better since the breakup, especially with all of the festivities coming up. I also love fall and watching the colors change. I carved a few pumpkins last night with a friend. It was awesome until our kitchen window spontaneously shattered. We later discovered (actually the police discovered) that a drunk guy smashed it with a rock…anyways he’s in jail. But back to festivities, I hope to see all y’all at the T-Ball this weekend. 

COD

Yesterday was not my day. It started out alright, then from alright to less than mediocre, then just plain bad. I went to a sports bar to watch my beloved Redskins try to pull off a win, and we lost with a few seconds on the clock. Then I got home and checked Facebook and I got a message from my girlfriend, “Hey, we need to talk.” she told me. We didn’t need to talk, she needed to break up with me. And so it was over and I was devastated. This feeling of weakness completely pervaded my soul. I played Call of Duty for 9 hours. 9 HOURS! I slept for 45 minutes, then I went to class.

Today has been rough, but I’ve begun to accept the harsh reality that I am currently faced with. I suppose I’ll be better off in the long run. I no longer have to stress over unreturned phone calls and worrying about where Clara is. The amount of work on my plate is enough.

In other news, Paul Ryan is speaking at Fort Lewis today. Not nearly the amount of hype that Michelle Obama brought to Durango. Unfortunately for Romney/Ryan, Durango is extremely liberal and open to chaos.

Calcutta

Lately I have been thinking a lot. My job gives me a lot of time to think while I  stand idly on “the bricks” and wait for guests to arrive. You wouldn’t believe the thoughts that enter the mind when stricken to one simple mindless task. It’s almost a form of meditation. I have also begun meditating. It eases my mind into a state of bliss, then back to the real world where stress is my predominant nature. Sometimes I wish I were stupid. It isn’t easy knowing my mental capacity exceeds that of the greater population in the world. I am not being facetious, it really is a great weight on my shoulders. It isn’t that I have a great responsibility, but that knowing I am capable of so much, when I accomplish so little. Depending on whose perspective, my life could either be extremely simple or infinitely difficult. I asked a good friend who happens to be very well-travelled, if he could choose three places in the world to visit, what would they be and why. His last answer was Calcutta, India. He further explained that seeing poverty in Calcutta would enable me to see that poverty in America isn’t “real” poverty. But that isn’t necessarily the case because poverty cannot be measured in scales in two completely different places. Poverty, at least in most cases, isn’t a choice, it is a life. So back to my point, I believe that I am under stress all the time. Whether or not someone else see’s my stress as a legitimate issue has so significance to me, because they cannot feel what I feel.

On a lighter note, my girlfriend is coming to visit this weekend. Lets hope I can find some time to hangout with Clara.

A Full Weekend Ahead – When Does It End?

Well, the weekend is almost here again and I see no end in sight to my busy work. I have multiple video games to play and review, videos to cut and pot to add legit content to my youtube page, homework galore, maybe I can see Clara this weekend when she visits home (not sure since it is 3 hours round trip to Farmington, NM), and I know that I have a shift Saturday day at the Strater Hotel. Man! I just do not know how I am going to make the time needed to take care of everything and everyone.

So far I have Borderlands 1 and 2 and Dishonored to play and review. Mass Effect 3 and Singularity coming in tomorrow. I also have a new 500GB external hard drive for the PS3 coming in tomorrow so I can copy games and record video while playing games. Dad is trying to locate his old Atari 2600 so he can relive his past and give some reviews on things like Pong, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Haunted House. I think that’s cool, but wow have games come a long way since the Atari 2600!

I miss Clara a lot! But all this absence and lack of communication is making my feelings change, I think… I don’t know. I shouldn’t talk about it here, but I had to get some of this frustration out. When she calls I am somewhere else, and vice versa. It sucks. Long distance relationships are incredibly painful to be a part of. Don’t you think?

Despite all that, I still have to do a synopsis of a couple of poems for my English class, some reading and note reorganizing for my Archaeology class, and of course Ancient Art History is NEVER without a project or reading. GOOD GOD that class is killing me. It is like the teacher has no clue that I and others have OTHER CLASSES!

Ok, I better jet. Time for bed… ok, maybe about 20 minutes of Glitch first, then bed.

Laterz.

New Progress

I got a job! I am a bellman at a DOPE hotel. Been busy this week because I started on Monday, but the job has been keeping my mind busy too. I’m not always worrying about my chick and I am getting paid. I’ll finally be able to buy Dead Space 3 and Dishonored when released (full retail price, of course)! Extremely psyched. I must say it’s pretty cool buying my own things without having to ask my parents for permission, but it sucks when you realize you’ve just spent your whole paycheck on a Garmin GPSMAP 62stc. Whatever though, I’ll be getting busy in the field every second I get.

My job is great. I get to drink coffee and eat cookies all day and carry luggage for fat tips. I’m so wired right now that I’m doing about 7 things simultaneously. It feels so good to do something other than busy work (homework) and sleep. Now when I finally have time to game, I feel like I improved the world. But I know I didn’t. Really I just carried a few bags and kept the coffee bar looking presentable.

Well, I’ll keep you guys updated on the job. Laterz.
