Yet another year approaches and another draws to a close. What to say except that I'm no longer 5 years old? How I wish I could simply sit and watch the days roll by, wishing my wolf dog was with me, but neigh nor nie, apparently I am doom to repeat, the struggle which is to compete for a little more than the person next to me. So I say Go ahead, keep it, didnt need it anyways. I'm just glad for a chance to play. For to me, this is a video game. Learning the controls is a daily thing. Never seeing yourself change due to age is the vital point in being engaged in gaming. I use the controls and the protagonist moves and acts, not the other way around. So here's to the game. I hope to play some while longer.

Happy 420 my peeps. May the force be with you and enlightment follow ur days.

Plantain shortage

constantly around me i hear of puerto rico this, puerto rico that. fuck it. i think we're missing the point somehow. this place is paradise. i'm gonna live focused on that.

i mean honestly, its like a big ball of threads all wrapped together in a big mess and we're looking for an end to unravel the whole mess, but is there really even an end?

let me clarify. some say the problem is the politics, some the education, some the government, some the status.... and so on and on and on. lets move on.

leave the ball of mess alone and it will disappear eventually. if you keep focusing on the mess you too will become a mess contributing to the overall mess.

puerto rico, let the beauty around you inspired you with good. say no to greed and hate and violence and be open minded, for this island shows us that all things are possible.

hey, to my peeps in the states! i miss you guys! to the peeps in the south, mucho carino.

adios,

2005 should be an interesting year. all around me i see things developing unexpectedly. who knows what future lies ahead in such crazy times. i think we're all in a Frodo Baggins mood, trudging forward with our quest wondering how it'll end, knowing it most likely won't be a happy ending without some sort of loss.

okay, like no response from 'da 'Bucks yet. wondering if they care at all? they probably dont give two shits about me anyhow. lets give them some time (probably this whole weeked) to see if they write back.

Okay, so I went to Starbucks.com and voiced my bad service today. Here's what I sent:

Dearest Starbucks Empire,

Yes, i know i have voiced a complaint before. It was resolved quickly and wonderfully, so its not like I enjoy doing this. You guys are great, but i still have to say something about this.

I was charged an additional dollar for a canister of gum today. The label says $1.95 and when the cashier rung up the gum the price was $2.95. Quickly the employee at the coffee bar said, "oh, thats 1.95" to which the cashier replied, "i know, but the SKU is bringing up 2.95" The cashier then went to the back room, spoke to another employee, and returned to the register, didn't offer any explanation and simply rung up a total. Now, I didn't know this at the time, simply 'cuz I'm not a math genius that can add the total in my head, but the cashier simply charged me the 2.95, as if to say, "Hell, screw it. This loser can afford to pay an extra dollar".

Upon examining my reciept I saw what had happened and instead of being late to work I decided to pursue this matter via the internet.

I have the reciept and the gum canister unopened and I expect some sort of reimbursement for my $1.00 that Starbucks stole from me!!!

Btw, this is going into my blog. Let me know if you want the web address.

Starbucks ripping me off this morning

happy birthday bro!

let me tell you something, the mountains of puerto rico rock. its cool year round (some might say kinda cold this time of year) and the people are way friendly and considerate and its safe! no crime really to complain about, well, compare to the rest of the island its sweet. the mountains are cool, just be careful on the windy roads.

just making some slight little changes.

things really havent changed much these last few months, but i'm getting used to this lazy island living thing. no worries mate.

peace.

happy holidays for those who still care and love in their hearts (no gifts necessary to love, just take a moment to share).
