So an update of my life.
Two weekends ago I went to this pretty rad rave by the Myrtle Ave. stop on the J train in Brooklyn. We partied it up in an old Lutheran church. Sweet old organ and some beautiful stained glass, DJ booth was high up in the alter with Jesus and other religious figures hanging over. I rolled face and smoked and went with a cousin and friend (both much more level headed guys than myself who just drank but didn't even get too drunk). My one buddy Matt was on the prowl I learned that night that he had recently broken up with his girlfriend of 6 months (she was Christian and he was raised Jewish and she wanted there to be more in terms of religion). Anyway, Matt had the logic of "well if I hit on ten girls, I am bound to get lucky with at least one" (reasonable) and his logic served him well, I don't think I'd ever pull that off sober like he was (would probably need some liquid courage or some white powder). My cousin Manny invited a co worker, Vicki, who rolled with two friends, AD and Anya. Manny ended up hooking up with Vicki and meanwhile I was just dancing rolling face feeling all sorts of good. There was this rocking band called Spanish Fly, they gave like a big band rock feeling to old school Spanish music (the kind of stuff I grew up with at family parties being from a Cuban family), my cousin and I just started dancing salsa and merengue (our brains are sort of hard wired). Cops finally cleared out the place at around 4:30AM and my cousin and I went to some dubstep, moombahton joint in some more secluded (i.e industrial sector) and chilled out till around 5:30 letting our ears ring. It was overall a pretty sweet time, I can't wait for the next Rubulad and I recommend it for anyone who hasn't been.
This past weekend was a little slow, I went out with coworkers on Friday after work to this place called "Powerhouse" in Jersey City. Spot is not really my style but for the $20 unlimited Yuengling and Coors Light or house wine plus finger food (sliders, pizza, fries, salad, sushi etc) from 5-9 as part of corporate happy hour (Wed-Fri) I couldn't really resist. I got pretty tanked and we ended up in Hoboken at the Pourhouse, I was lucky that one of my coworkers who lives near my home in Jersey was able to take me home. I watched The Good the Bad and the Ugly on Saturday, pretty solid western and I went to the theaters on Sunday to watch The Cabin in the Woods which highly entertained me. Not a scary movie, but the way they incorporate elements of classical horror and the archetype characters used was all done really well in my opinion. If your a fan of the genre I would say go check it out, it's a little more comedic then scary though.
This Saturday is my birthday and I will be turning 24 years old (which really is going to be no different then 23). I am not sure what I will be doing at night although I will be in NYC and most likely Brooklyn bound (or LES) but at 2PM I do have a dominatrix session with Mistress Elura (www.mistresseluranyc.com). Mistress Elura cracks me up and her energy really gets me going, I love playing with her (minus the cost of these pro sessions), but since it has been almost a year since my last dominatrix session I felt it would be nice to treat myself. I know I will have a good time even though I will undoubtedly be sore for the rest of the night. I am hoping I can find some sort of rave event and am really banking on the nonsensenyc mailing list to provide me with some epic entertainment for the night, otherwise I will find something random to do (maybe Berry Hill beer garden in Williamsburg with a little low key bowling at The Gutter?). I guess I will play the rest of Saturday by ear.
Game of Thrones! Not sure who watches this series (you all should btw and read the books which are also great although frustrating after you finish book five and you want to keep reading!) but it has been pretty solid this season. I don't want to give any spoilers away, watch it and we can all discuss at some point after the season is over!
Anyone want to try/do acid? It has been on my to do list for a while and was wondering if any friends here were down, maybe check out some museums or botanical gardens or just wander aimlessly like lunatics through the streets of NYC absorbing everything at a higher brain processing level. Let me know! Also the idea of candy flipping entices me but I would need some sort of dancing venue.
Hope all my friends here are doing well! Cheers and until next time!

So last week I learned that they Final Fantasy Tactics War of the Lions (updated old school Tactics PSP version) was available on the iOS. I downloaded that immediately on my iTouch and now have spent many hours reliving one of my favorite games from my younger years. I forgot how awesome of a tragic hero Ramza was. Poor kid, constantly screwed but 100% righteous, definitely a hero in my book.
I also got a Jerusalem Cross tattoo on my right wrist. This has significance to me because of these Kairos retreats I went to and lead back in college. The biggest thing I learned from these retreats (other than finding my spirituality) is that one can never dismiss a problem as insignificant. Everyone has problems and just because you feel yours may not be as bad as another person's problems it is important to remember that if it is bothering you, you should seek help. Sometimes the silliest things put us in real dark places and finding out that I was not the only one who could hurt that badly on these retreats was something so important. After the retreat each participant was given a Jerusalem Cross necklace and taught the suscipe prayer which goes as follows, "Receive, O Lord, all my liberty. Take my memory, my understanding, and my entire will. Whatsoever I have or hold, You have given me; I give it all back to You and surrender it wholly to be governed by your will. Give me only your love and your grace, and I am rich enough and ask for nothing more." I used to pray this every time I put the necklace on and nowadays since I never wear it I wanted to remember the prayer and all the lessons learned on those retreats so now I will see the Jerusalem Cross every day on my wrist.
Well, going to play some more Tactics and I still need to get a lot of Skyrim on. I am going to Rubalad this Saturday in Brooklyn, if anyone is going let me know!

So it has been a while since I posted any blogs and I blame that entirely on Skyrim and NYC for stealing away all my weekends. Anyway life has been pretty decent for the most part these past few weeks. I married Aela the Huntress 
in Skyrim and was pretty pumped about that.
I have been lucky enough to drag out groups of friends of mine into Brooklyn, somehow two weekends in a row I was able to convince kids to go out and party with me there (I was thinking maybe I'd get 1 or 2 and ended up with a group of 7 and 9) we had fun and I got pretty drunk and it was all sorts of fun and games.
I realized the other day while driving that my biggest fear is probably being alone, death isn't too scary of thing for me (kind of comes with having dealt with depression and the idea of suicide for various points of my life) but being alone terrifies me. It is in my opinion an irrational fear that I just can't seem to shake, going to bring it up with my therapist on Wednesday. I don't know what I looking for whether it be a short term fling or something real serious but I would like to find something, it would be nice, I think I am pretty cool not to toot my own horn or anything.
This past weekend was a lot of fun, I went into the city on Friday night for a mustaches themed party and there were champagne showers, Cuban cigars, whiskey and beer all the sorts of things that make a night a lot of fun (also rooftops and the mustaches of course), after the party this girl was like, "hey would you like a bump of my cocaine molly mix (she actually had a name for it)" I took two and felt fantastic and a couple of us went out dancing pretty low key at a local bar (forget the bars name but it was right next to Double Down Saloon which I would have preferred to go to). Got to my sisters place around 4 and crashed woke up at 8:30 and started my day for St. Patty's. Sister's roommate's boyfriend made bacon and eggs (I just had bacon) and we were drinking Coors and taking shots of JD, I left and went to Chipotle to eat (had another Coors) then meet a friend at Peculiar Pub. We dropped a couple of car bombs and I left to meet up some other friends at my buddy's place where we continued to smoke a wookah and rip a bong. My one friend Trevor brought his puppy Thala there. She is 4 months old husky corgi mix and is incredibly sweet considering she lives with 3 pretty loud dudes. My cousin Nicky meet me there and the two of us left to meet my sister, cousin and friends at Washington Square Park where we continued to drink around the village area. Highlight of the night was definitely 2 hours of singing karaoke at Sing Sing Karaoke on St. Marks, it was pretty boss and then my sister and I took everyone to the subway (they went back to Jersey) and we got back to her place in FiDi after helping this girl who had been in a fight with her boyfriend (he shoved her down
which makes him seem like a total douche), we helped her get a cab and get back to NY Penn, she was such a poor lost soul. Then on Sunday I went to Jersey went with my uncle to take our dogs for a nice walk and then I watched this movie Circumstance which is about these two Iranian girls living in Tehran, it wasn't bad. Oh yeah! The Walking Dead season finale, as an avid fan of the comic since 08 I was thrilled to see Michonne at the end 
.
I am hoping to make it out to a SGNJ event out in Newark this weekend and meet some of the NJ folk out there, I really want to hang out with the NYC folk again it seems like the Pretty Things Peepshow was definitely a while ago. I just need to make it out but it seems people like to go out on Tuesday nights (which I did last week at the Gramercy Park Hotel but I feel slain the next day at work, heavy drinking problems).
My coworkers have been doing food challenges these past three weeks at lunch, 3 weeks ago this one kid had 3 Big Macs (45 minutes), fries and a Coke then the following week he challenged another kid to 2 footlong roast beef and ham subs from Subway (30 minutes), that kid then challenged another to 10 Taco Bell hard tacos (40 minutes) and that coworker has challenged me to drink 3 liters of beer at the Zeppelin Hall Beer Garden this Thursday I believe in 30 minutes (might also have to eat a burger, and believe I will be drinking Guinness). I am a bit pumped about the challenge mostly because the beer garden has live karaoke on Thursday nights (drummer, guitarist, bassist and back up vocals) after 8:30PM, I will definitely be jamming a bit.
Oooo and I got a hookah on Friday but I am not digging these coconut coals, I need some of the easy lighting ones! Well I am off to spend some time with my family, I will leave Skyrim until tomorrow and I will also need to catch up on some of my friends blogs and be pervy and check out some of the new SG photo sets. Cheers all hope everyone is rocking and had a kick ass Saint Patrick's Day!

I finally got Skyrim. I'll be around but will definitely be occupied gaming.
Nothing too exciting has been going on with my life as of recent. On Saturday I went to a zombie beauty pageant in Dunellen, NJ. My cousin who entered got second place, her talent was salsa dancing, I danced with her (people complimented my dancing even though I don't think it's very good, I was happy for the compliments though). At the pageant I meet (kind of more re-meet) Tore from SG, she remembers me from NYCC this summer (I put a Facebook "Like" sticker on Machete's boob at the SG stand there, it's hard for me to remember people at Comic Con cause I am nerdgasming out like way too much) she also was in the zombie beauty pageant (and Tore you did a great job!).
I am giving up cheese for Lent this year (starts tomorrow ends April 8th...Easter) which I think will be one of my toughest yet. I fucking love cheese and everything about it. Italian food all of a sudden becomes pretty useless once you cut out cheese and I also just love to eat Gouda and Manchego cheese. Last year I gave up meet and it was pretty easy just eating fish and veggies, cheese I think will personally be tougher. I am up for the challenge, I will also try and pray the rosary once a week as taking on something.
I might do a Polar Bear Plunge this weekend, cousin is doing the one down the shore this Saturday (I think Point Pleasant 1PM), water will be cold (I guess that is implied), figure I would do it in a Speedo if I pull through (which I most likely will). Would be a lot of fun and then I think I would make my way into the city to party out in Brooklyn or something, maybe dance at some hipster spot or something.
Anyway, short work week which is always pleasant and hopefully a bit of a wild weekend! I will post things later, peace y'all!

So tonight I went out with some coworkers to the Jersey City beer garden (which is pretty sweet, awesome beer selection ). I am sitting on the train back to my home on Jersey and when i checked Twitter I saw a reply back from my favorite SG girl. I know I tweeted at her for a nail polish contest for some pretty stellar nail apparel, but still super excited like a little kid (as I sit waiting for train to leave). As if that wasn't awesome enoigh the live karaoke band remembered me and ejoyed when I sang What I Got and Crazy Little Thing Called Love. Anyway super ecstatic and even if I am super tired tomorrow it was totally a swell night. 
I love my dog Kodi. He is a year and a half and is a cockapoo (not particularly fond of the breed name I must say). He is a handsome devil who is just full of so much love. He isn't big but lacks that whole Napoleon complex, he just enjoys socializing and being an overall awesome pup.
He is high energy and loves to play, without a doubt in my head he enjoys playing with me the most (will bug my dad to walk him and my mom to feed him, but when it comes to play he knows I am down). We love to rough house and considering he is like 17lbs it is pretty easy to pin him and throw him around like a toy (all which he loves). After rough housing a bit he likes to hump my arm or leg or at least something while resting his head on one of my body parts (we aren't going to fix him), he humps my mom too but I am the only one that lets him release a little horny energy (although I am cautious now after one time where he blew a load on my shirt sleeve
), he is my baby and I love him to death.
Nothing makes me smile more on a day to day basis then waking up and hearing his little grunting as I rub his stomach or holding him down or like a baby (he isn't a big fan of being held down but he knows not to try and squirm away from me cause I will force him to submit). He is always so excited to see me (and occasionally will release little spurts of urine) and is just great all around. We play at his level biting each others necks and wrestling for ropes using our teeth. He tries to hide in small spaces sometimes while we play and I will squeeze myself into whatever crevice to get him. He is so sweet and I am sure y'all would love him if you meet him (unless you are really not a dog person). He is my little love and I figured I would write about him cause he is one of the best things to happen in my life these past 2 years.

Death is a funny part of life. Last Monday as I was driving to the train station with my uncle I saw a dead cat, possibly kitten 
on the road. We needed to catch the train but I did really want to turn around and check the poor animal for a collar with their owner's contact information. Sadly I listened to my uncle and went to catch the train and I pretty much regret this decision. If anything happened to my dog Kodi I would much rather have someone stop, take 5 minutes from their life and let me know the sad truth even if it was them who killed my baby. As a human being I should have turned the car around and informed the family but I didn't. Boo to me.
Last week one of my co-workers was out for the week her sister-in-law died from cancer last weekend. The sister-in-law was 69 years old (my co-worker gave me a prayer card), I remember talking to her 3 weeks ago (not the lady who died) and how the family and doctors were optimistic the lady would recover. 2 weeks ago they told the lady that the cancer was back and then they gave her up to 3 months to live, last week she passed. I know my co-worker's sister-in-law was sick for a few months, Brenda is an older lady, but is a real sweet heart and very funny I enjoy my time speaking with her. I prayed for her sister-in-law and I really was hoping she would recover, the sudden death was tough especially since the doctors had said 3 months. Cancer is a real grade A bitch. Brenda has my support though and I really hope all of the family gets through this tough time.
Another death I learned about last week was that of my sister's sorority sister. Not sure exactly what happened but this young girl fell 16 stories and most likely died on impact. Homicide, suicide, accident? I am not really sure all I know that this is a tragedy for my sister, her sisters and Pace University. I pray for them all the best and I pray for the poor girl who passed away.
Stay safe everyone and if you ever see a dead pet on the road you should stop, report it and try to get in contact with the owners, don't do what I did.

Meeting new people isn't the easiest thing to do especially after graduating college. Yes, you may meet friends of friends and expand your circle of acquaintances however throwing yourself out there to meet new people is a tad bit more difficult. Anyway that was my plan last Thursday when I went to see the Pretty Things Peepshow at the Highline Ballroom. I first heard of the event when siamkittie posted about it on the SGNY open events, it quickly drew my attention because I am growing to enjoy burlesque more and more, it was a carnival/Vaudeville and most importantly I would be able to connect with some new people. I was a bit nervous considering I am pretty shy (I mask it really well at times) and would be meeting new people also I knew I would be getting out of work late and I would be looking for a girl with black and hot pink knee high socks and black rain boots. I got there and saw that so many people were seated and was like, "fuck, how am I supposed to look for knee high socks when everyone is seated down at tables?!" but I vowed not to give up. Fortunately for me I was standing at the bar ordering my second beer when siamkittie walks in with a group and I noticed the socks and introduced myself (pretty sure I caught her a bit off guard lol). I meet her and her friend as well as a few other members of the site, we sat upstairs (with others) and ordered some drinks.
I must say I had a lot of fun for a Thursday and definitely stayed out later than I probably should have (it was a long Friday) but it was worth it. The show was great (Jules was fantastic, I want to go back in March) and it turned out I had seen two of the performers at the Coney Island Sideshow back in summer 2007.

The company was great, everyone is friendly and it was nice just to go out see a show and grab drinks with a new group of people. It's definitely one thing chatting or posting on the message boards perhaps befriending someone here and there but going out and actually meeting someone face to face is so much more rewarding. I hope to get to see some of the people that I meet on Thursday pretty soon whether it be grabbing drinks or seeing some other sort of show or just wandering around the city looking for something different to do. There is such a greater sense of community when you go out and mingle and it just feels plain old nice (which is a good thing). Anyone reading this who has pondered going out and meeting others from the site, I highly recommend it just throw yourself out there!
