So the big hype of twitter... It's another community site that limits you characters. You still can hold one on one conversations with someone. Have the options to have a private page.
I never seen the big hype about it. 'Til my job started updating up on Twitter. So yeah I had a professional twitter account(is that possible?). Then I decided to make a personal one. Still no biggie. Now I am on my 3rd twitter account. And I am still not impressed with it. I mean it's cool for what it's worth. As Lem would say "ain't shit popping" But something must be poppin' because everyone is there.
Even the people who hated twitter, can't get enough of that shit. It kills times. and I can keep up with the people I am cool with.
I will not follow no one I personally don't know. I am not big on following celebs. Why? I can careless what you're really doing. And if i "@you" it's not like you're really going to respond to me. So it's like having a dead end conversation with someone whose not even paying you too much attention. And to people who are following over 100 people. How do you really keep up. I am sure only about 35 % of them are twittering. But srsly how do you find the time to keep up... or are they just on ya list for a number count.
As of today I follow 21 ppl. and 21 ppl follow me. the only 2 ppl i follow that are not ppl are Time and Downing Street.
Twitter may be the newest hype, but it's pointless... But I'll twitter you twitterlings later
Ciao!

long time coming
it has been a great minute since I have blogged. And has a lot happened.
I have not blogged for a good reason. several actually. I have been greatly busy, and also what has been going on with me has been personal, somethings i rather not share with the world wide web.
I have endured some hard times in the last cpl mos.
3/6/09 my cousin Sammie, who is also like my sister died in her sleep. She suffered from an asthma attack. She leaves behind a loving family. Beautiful daughter, and committed husband. God claimed her life early, but through us she will love on. It was very sudden to us. We were all preparing for my grandmother to pass, b/c she was in her lasts day. the following week on 3/14/09 my grandmother passed away. A great lost, but she needed to be at peace. I am at peace with it. I will always remember her and miss her.
The storm has not even manage to cease. during all of this my father manage to land himself in the hospital. but he is doing well.
Work life has been pretty damn good. I have decided not to go to France, instead I took on being the Lead Accountant in the International Admin located on in Troy, MI. No I will not be moving there, but i will be conducting meetings from there. I will still be based in LA, with an office in NYC.
Speaking of LA ya girl is about to buy a house. Yes, a house. I have been getting my house search on, and I found one to suit me and my needs, as well as others who may come. 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms. 2 levels, pool, deck and patio. And to top it off a very nice kitchen. I am still on my mission to find a place in NJ/NYC area for when I am staying out there. I have 2 places in mind, I just need to get out there to see them
Family and Friends.
My sisters are doing great.
Allie belly is filling out. She's looking so pretty and pregnant. as far as her wedding, I am not sure. but i am certain it won't be that wedding she wanted
Marisol has hit a down moment, she is currently in the hospital, but no need to worry she will be fine. She turns 21 on the 15th. damn by sis is getting old. lol. Graduates this year. I am so proud of her
Aixa the ghost sister i never talk about is doing pretty damn good. Maintaining a 4.0( i am so proud of her ). And taking great care of my brown baby.
Lana my baby, she has hit a hard time right now. with the lost of my grandmother. who she stayed with has kind of affected her livelihood. But as the adults in the matter we are doing all we can to make her comfortable and able to manage her life as she did before
Billie isn't doing so well. This is a sore issue to even speak on. She has been in the hospital for some time now (a week just about). She had 4 tumors removed from her intestines, and they believe she may have cancer. Although she is young and it may be treated , but not knowing what stage it may be if she has cancer may determine if treatment is an option. All i can do is pray for the best. I am trying not to worry about it. Keep my mind off of it. but it s kind of hard when i have already lost my mother to Cancer, I really don't want to fathom the thought of losing my best friend to it
...
well work is calling... look out for the next blog. it may be a bit more personal
tata for now

When it rains it pours...
But I am not going to wait for this storm to pass. I am going to dance in the rain. Splash in the puddles of water, and make the best of the stormy weather. After every storm their is a Rainbow, and at the end of that rainbow is my pot of gold...
He's there with me to share my sorrows and happiness with. Literally he has been there for the better and the worse. As I stand by his side from a distant. he holds my hand, and I hold his hand. We'll get through anything, and everything. Friends or Lovers.
And even when best friends fall out. Just means we need a break from each other. If this doesn't work out. It's been a good long run. Although we don't see eye to eye on things. Thats human nature. We never will. But support is one thing that cannot fall short on. Maybe one day things will be back on track. Just today we're not. Hopefully that train comes around again. if not... may we laugh at the good times. and be glad we had each other for the bad times...
Sisters forever, til the end of time. Nothing can change that if we wanted to. We may fight, and bicker at each other. At the end of the day I am still your big sister and I will always love you. Although I take a stand back, I support you, and have you in my heart.
She's been on this journey for 80 plus yrs. It saddens me to see you in the state you're in... But I won't be cry, I'll smile at the impact you have had on my life, and all the others that have come your way. So tonight I smile at the blessing, and thank God for you. Rest your mind and soul Abuela, you fought long and hard enough. We got this here...
Let's go play and dance through this storm

...let it all out session...part 2
It's been a good minute since I have blogged. A lot has been going on. Just scrambled emotions and feelings. Don't know where to begin....
Best friends
I love my best friend Billie to death. I think she pushed her final button to finally put me over the edge. I am certain we'll "kiss and make up", but as of now, I need my space from her. I need my friend to support me, rather ridicule me. It's ok to tell me I am being a fool about something. But don't go on a bashing run, when your slate isn't clean at all. I'd guess she is thinking she is saving me from a person like her... But she has no idea...
Leaving home
I just left home(Dallas) After spending a long time home. Getting back comfortable with the family. Around my lil Lana, and my brown baby Alex. My father and some of my closest friends. I have no idea when I'll be back home to see them. Made the trip coming back to Cali even more depressing...
Coming home...
You'd think someone would be happy coming home to the Sunny state of Los Angeles. I dreaded coming back. I suppressed all emotions, which turned into depression . Granted I love LA. Just leaving family to come home to nothing. But a handful of friends. and co-workers..
Blah...
Him...
-sigh-
Bittersweet. It's so beautiful thing. but there is always the worries and concerns... I'll remain optimistic about it. But at times that's even hard... We'll get through this together as one...
On the happy side
I will be seeing Paris very soon. I am nervous, but also excited. I will be getting a chance to work in my office in NYC afterwards, and finally settle down/in with him. Get my place/house in order in New Jersey. Yes I am excited!
Peace

...let it all out session...
This is going to be a very long blog... i was going to separate them but i am going to just make it one complete blog. i will have the sections highlighted so you can pick and chose on what you want to read...
as i begin
I Am Sisters Keeper...
Everyone knows my sister is my life and i would give them the world and everything. I have been through hell and high waters with them and for them. Lost great things for them. Because they are my universe .
Just recently I chose to take a step back from being in my sister Allie's wedding. It's only so much you can take from a person before they break you down. And for my own sister to get me to that point. it is really time for me to just sit back, and just stay away. I pray who ever helps her with her wedding can deal with her and have great patience. Cause I can't... 20 odd yrs of dealing with someone of her nature has killed all desire to even help her...
I love her dearly, but i cannot do this with her anymore...
New settings, new light...
I've recently had a revelation[i guess u could call it that]. I just seen a few ppl in a new light, and I am realizing they are not the person I've gotten to know over the time period i have known them. Had I even opened my eyes up to see them like this. or even had the chance to before this. I would have went my own way. Another way, or not been so close to them in the 1st place. It's amazing how well you think you know someone, or how much you really think you know about somebody. Then you realize... damn i don't really know you. It's fucked up the yrs...decades... you've spent growing to know each other. weather its a friendship, a relationship, a family kinship...
It almost sickens me thinking about it. it's sad. i've seen enough to be convinced that they(more than one person) are someone i don't need in my life. I am glad i have had the pleasure now to see them in the manner, and see who they really are... they say your true actions show when you think no one is watching. but i seen enough characters to know you are a full showcase and you are putting on a one wo(man)[both sexes] show...
i gracefully bow out... now take a bow. you show has ran its season... curtains closed..
internet vs the real world:
Over the short time I have spent on this world wide web. i have notice that a lot of the ppl on here... spend too much time on here... and sit in the real world and complain that nothing is going on for them. I've had wayyy too many conversations with ppl i've gotten acquainted with. Their common complaint is "o don't feel like i am getting anywhere in life right now." "i feel like i am in the same place" well if you logged off the computer and spent more time on making shit happen and not entertain the internet. you might have something going for you... I believe if some ppl put as much effort as they do online, offline. they might see a 180 in their outcome. word from the wise.
Conde' Nast/CondeNet:
The job I worked so hard to get might be coming to an end. I have people fighting for me to stay. It's not because I am a bad worker. I am actually one of their best workers that have come across in a very long time. Times are hard. My pay is high. And I am a new person there. Easier to let the person who's the newest and makes the most to go than to fire an old member who pay is about 10-25k less than mine... Who knows how this will work out in the end...
Special Shout Out...
To everyone that has been in my corner. The few of you know who you are.
Especially Julian... Glad you got ya drive back to draw :) I want to see how that Jimi Hendrix drawing comes out. Marisol is looking forward to seeing it as well
Thanks for your eyes and your time
