1/4x2=change!

its an understatement to say that a lot has happen since last post.

one very important thing i must say is that nov 4!!!

wow! historical! amazing! hopeful! inspiring! emotional!

that saturday i was

 working the usual nite shift and was sa

d that i was going to miss the outcome of the election but we headed into brooklyn to grab some brews to either cry into our cups or celebrate with them.

as i got off the train i immediately hear cheering and people along the street, arms up and jumping, for what sounded like something good had happen

.

is it true?! is it?! we run to the bar awkwardly with our stuff to see on the HD flat screen that our next president of the UNITED STATES IS.....

ah...aWWWWWW yes!!!!! OBAMA!!!

taylor, my roomie, was so excited in fact she made a video.

mad props!

awesome!

it was a clip of just what was going on in new york. it felt like new years eve.

people on the streets cheering and ranting. 

It was the first time i really genuinely felt proud to be AMERICAN!

people united.

& for the first time, in a long time, it was our nation celebrating the good

and not the tragic.

gba!

well, in other news the economy is still in the toilet hole from what it was before and one of the reasons my job was "letting people go" b.s. was happening.

lets just say there was a lot of kaka mouth syndrome that went on there anyways. up to the very end. 

what was a mix feeling of liberation and

 disappointment, has transfered into a great job with sundays off!!!

getting paid a bit more, awesome benefits, and located essentially closer to  home.

its kinda cool working in the MET LIFE building, perhaps cause its one of the skyscrapers that you can still see from brooklyn.

the smaller down side is working at night. i stay up late, wake up later the next day a

nd dont get to do much. yet being any type of cook, chef, restaurant related anything getting sundays off is a hard thing to pass up. but i'm in a better place now.

halloween 

good times halloween. i was broke as a joke but manage to put something together last minute. face paint is great and semi-fun. i say semi cause at one point its just a pain in the butt trying not to smear it, eat it, or get it in your eye. haa.

my theme was day of the dead. i think i did alright. i had fun anyways and met some great people at the parties.

i think despite my last minute efforts this year, i really had a appreciation for halloween & day of the dead.

most of it came from a subconscious level.

i lost an uncle that same month, and disclosing the details

is not important, but it has made my soul restless.

deaths in the past have always been a painful sting in my heart,

but this one, this time, the string remains.

maybe its the fact i'm so far away and haven't made my peace.

maybe i feel everything that happen, shouldn't have, and i wasn't there

to do anything.

its crazy how even an uncontrollable situation can still

make you feel guilty. 

its childish, but its hard when you lose some one you loved.
