The Weekend

Friday: This past weekend, it was more good moments then bad. Friday evening I met up with Tyrus & his coworkers at a birthday party of a colleague of his. I got to meet most of his co-workers at the Times. They all seem charming. After two draft of guineas & T, after two bottle of Red Stripe, T's co-worker Simone & I head to a look for something to eat. We find a mexican restaurant on 45th street & 8th Avenue. She ordered a chicken fajita, a taco salad for Tyrus & I had a chicken quesadilla. Afterward, T & I take the train home for some much needed R&R.

Saturday: we got up mid morning & worked on making the wardrobe moved the dresser to another room, went to grocery shopping for the week, and in the evening worked on the skyline painting project over a bottle of "hunters red" wine, till it was time to go to sleep.

Sunday: We did our laundry, applied for some jobs and then head to Manhattan with Tyrus and met up with John S. for a bottle of wine and snacks at his very nicely decorated place in mid town. He has finally finished working on his apartment and the place looks excellent. After some conversation at his garden patio, all of us head downtown. Tyrus had to attend church afterward, and John & I went down to Santos for 718 Sessions party. We were suppose to meet Manuela later inside the club but, she got there after I left, due to an incident happened on the dance floor. While I was dancing for about twenty minutes I fell down, with an impossible pain on my left knee. It felt as though my knee cap has been popped out of my joint. Somehow manage to press it back on top of my knee it seem to click back to the right place. I was in terrible pain as I reach my hand for John to pick me up. I almost thought I was going to faint. At least two or three time I felt I was going to pass out, while trying to climb up the stairs to exit the club. I manage to climb up the stairs backward and sitting down on the steps, little by little, very slowly, while club goers pass me by and looks at me like what is going on? Luckily John was with me the entire time. And while seated on the steps, I text Tyrus who was finishing up with his church. He calls me back right away. In a way it was perfect timing. If this happened later in the night I probably would had to take a cab on my own and this would have been much more difficult.

After getting home and climbing up the stairs to the second floor, same way as in the club. I lay down in bed with my knee up on the pillow and with ice packs to reduce the swelling. I decide to seat this one out and see how fast I can heal from this incident. I hope to be better soon, so I can walk and run in normal pace. I feel like this is getting better. T & I agree that it's better that I already moved to brooklyn and it good that this did not happen before the move. Lying in bed I can see my the painting of Frida Khalo, she is starring me down. In my mind she is saying "what have you done this time... ? I know you feel inspired by me but don't make your life exactly like mine..." The unfortunate event keeping me inside the house, and for the time being I have nothing else to do beside paint and write & rest.

Moving to Brooklyn

I am moving to Brooklyn in next month. I am feeling mixed emotions about the move. In one hand it's great that i am starting a new life with a good friend and I'll be close to my old friends who still lives in Brooklyn, on another hand I'll have to leave my dear friend and the life i had, the comfort of when i was in living in Manhattan.

I need to pack up everything and then unpack and make space in the new place so I don't crowd the room. Although, I believe my addition of stuff will make the new place even better for both of it's residence. Lucky for me i don't have a lot of things. Only a red chair for a furniture. This will take a bit to get used to. And getting use to something takes time. I think everything is falling in to place. It is a good thing over all. I'll learn from this and I'll be a stronger person because of it. Not all the time people get a chance to learn from new experience, and my leaping toward the uncertainty of the beautiful road ahead will be a step forward toward love & freedom.

Today

It's a better day. I am getting things done. Cooking some chicken and mixed frozen vegetable for lunch. And then back to what i was doing from my things to do before the day is over.

Life is Amazing!

Ready to write again after a while. It's Monday.

I was expecting to work but did nor receive the call from my agent.

I am hoping he'll call me back or i have to do my own search. It's lunch time and I feel hungry. What to eat? Inside the refrigerator there are some left over pancake. Yum... should i eat it? Lately I have been watching how much food i consume, this is a good thing. There are some strawberries, banana and oatmeal outside the refrigerator. And that is what I'll have for lunch. Case closed! This morning when I got home, I find some boxes left on the "study room" with my stuff that was on top of the top storage. This is a good thing. I don't need to climb up to get them, it's already down. Ready to be put in a u-haul and shipped to my next place of residence. I am looking forward to the next adventure of my life. You lose some and you gain some. So far it has been amazing!

Pasando La noche con amiga

I named this blog the night of hanging out with my friend. Although it was more like catching up. I caught up with MS after at least a month of maybe a little more. But everything was just as it was before... More tome has past more adventure or events happened but we haven't changed, we are just as we ware till last time we hung out. We talked about our recent experience. She stops by at my place just as planned. We open a bottle of Italian Vino that ML & I was saving up for a special occasion. Then and this was perfect timing because since we have been saving special occasion wines for a while there are plenty of bottles to finish. But one bottle was perfect for two people before heading to dinner at our neighborhood Mexican restaurant. We had a wonderful time talking and sharing laughs and joked about "certain need". We talked about taking photographs and traveling and hopefully we can figure out something that works for both of us. After dinner we get back to the house and ML was right behind us as we are about to get in. MS stays a little longer and speaks to ML and catches up with him a little then she gets on her fast bike and zaps home just as the wind.

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

On April 24th through 26th myself & ML was in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. We ware there for a LGBT writes conference and panel discussion about what is like to be a writer and how does TV shows and web episodes works and what people need to do to get themselves establish as a writer. The best advise i got from KH is keep writing and have something to show to the world or to someone if they want to see your writing. A couple of ML's friends ware speaking at the conference.
KH is one of them & CW is the other friend that I know. They both ware flying in from LA to speak in the conference. ML's old times friend K.C. was one of the organizer for the event. Besides this he paints abstract close up of people in oil paint. He is quite good. The event took place the LGBT center downtown. The space had a gallery & a library. We all stayed at the same hotel not to far from the conference space. Called The Embassy Suites Hotel. It was very Florida like. Over the top glam. The rooms ware all around the corridor with an open area in the middle. The center area was an outdoor/indoor breakfast area with some plants, and up high on top, there was glass ceiling covering the roof of the center area. The Hotel was at least 12 story tall. We ware on the 11th floor. KH on the 8th & another friend (JC) we met through KC on Friday night at dinner, after we first arrived. JC was staying at the 7th floor. JC was an interesting fella. He worked for the "times magazine" and has been writing for the publication for at least 12 years. He was an interesting to talk to and while we ware hanging out at the pool on Saturday, with pool side cocktails, we got to share with each other the dance music we like. We both had our iPod with us and we ware playing music and listening to songs we think is good. I learned he likes music that are more fast base and me being the house music lover compared to his music my dance music ware a little slower. I guess the technical term would be own tempo. We got along well. We decided to stay in touch and will probably meet up for dinner sometimes. I invited him & his friend, that he is seeing recently, to the roller coasters weekend on the May 30th. He is not sure as of yet but will let me know. After the conference and a dinner back at the hotel our writers conference was done. Later that evening I was very tired and fell asleep on the couch and Mark & Keith hangout watching TV and had pizza ordered to the hotel. The next morning I meet up with my friend JR & her husband James who I knew back when I was in college. They come over and we all go to this dinner at this area called Las Olas. It's a bohemian area in Ft.Lauderdale and had a lovely brunch. Afterward we all head to the beach and hang out for a while before it's time to get back. at this point I was missing Florida. It's always nice to get away for a short time. This way you don't get bored of the city you are visiting. Right before you start to miss New York and the weather is much better then not that long ago.
