The best part of the game I have to say, was when the obvious Dominican players would be up to pitch and they would play a reggaeton song. Well, that was… Fun…

I did have a great time with my boys, I always do!

Las Vegas, Sin City…. right, right… Honestly I didn’t really see what all the hype is about. Theres so much light there, so much that I’m pretty sure it could trigger seizures.

It’s sad to say but the people almost seem like zombies just sitting there in their little machines, pulling the handle waiting to see if today is the day they finally get lucky.

The best and simplest way I can describe Vegas is like that flashy woman you see in the corner with lots of make-up, overwhelming amount of fake jewelry and the skimpy dress, that even if you don’t want to look at her you’re tempted to take a peek just because she’s begging for attention…

All in all I have to say Vegas is just not for me!

This week song is, “Those Days”, by Peasant

Yes i know

yeah i know what i should say

and ive been

yeah ive been around this way

should we go?

well id rather go than stay

make it feel like yesterday

you were my lover

and now just another

when you were my other

you left me a lover

those days are gone

dont you know

don’t you know thats how it goes

well I feel

well I feel bad for you but I dont

cause its stupid and I wont

and I never should have known

you were my lover

And now just another

you were my other but I gave up on you

I dont know

who you think we are

you cant miss this nearly healing scar

I dont care  cause I will stare right through you

well you were my lover

but now just another

and you were my other

you left me a lover

Those days are gone

2 months that’s the time that I spend taking care of my Mom. Helping my Mom recuperate from heart surgery was an easier process than I imagine, she’s such a little fighter .

In the time I was there I learned to play Domino, Phase 10, Monopoly and last but not least the classic game of UNO. I could probably name every song that artists such as Chayanne, Juan Gabriel, Ana Gabriel, Rocio Durcal, and Marco Antonio Solis sing.

There was not one day that I didn’t see my mother smile even if she was in pain. I think sometimes she only smiled so my sister and I would think she was fine, when we clearly knew she wasn’t.

Someone once said to me, “Well I hope she appreciate all that you did for her”. I didn’t respond back to that person but I did think, “I don’t want nor do I need my mother’s appreciation, I took care of her because “I” appreciate all that she has done and the many sacrifices that she has done for me which I know have been a lot”.

I’m glad to say that she’s doing great you wont see her running a marathon any time soon but she’s getting there. Thank you God for getting us through this one.

Love you Mom, now, always and forever….

This week song is “New Romantic” by Laura Marling

I know I said I loved you but I’m thinking I was wrong,
I’m the first to admit that I’m still pretty young,
and I never meant to hurt you when I wrote you ten love songs.
but a guy that I could never get ’cause his girlfriend was pretty fit
and everyone who knew her loved her so.
and I made you leave her for me and now I’m feeling pretty mean,
but my mind has fucked me over more times than any man could ever know.

Maybe I should give up, give in,
give up trying to be thin,
give up and turn into my mother,
god knows I love her.

and I’m sorry to which ever man should meet my sorry state,
watch my steady lonesome gait and beware.
I would never love a man ’cause love and pain go hand in hand
and I can’t do it again.

So we stayed up late one night to try and get our problems right,
but I couldn’t get into his head just what was going through my mind,
and I think he knew where I was going
he put Ryan Adams on
I think he thinks it makes me weak
it only ever makes me strong.
I’ve got this friend who sounds just like him,
now he’s the man I’d leave you for, the man that I just adore like you.
The same man, he turns to me he said I’ve got to tell you how i feel,

if god could make the perfect girl for me it would be you
and my god told me not tell about how much do you love your fella?”
I don’t know more everyday
not in this new romantic way.

I’ll always be your first love, you’ll always be my first love.

And I’m sorry to which ever man should meet my sorry state
watch my steady lonesome gait and beware,
I will never love a man ’cause I could never hurt a man in this way.
I will never love a man cause I could never hurt a man, not in this new romantic way.

It’s empty in the valley of your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you’ve left behind

The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat

But I will hold on hope
And I won’t let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I’ll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I’ll know my name as it’s called again

Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I’ll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind

So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears

But I will hold on hope
And I won’t let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I’ll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I’ll know my name as it’s called again

So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker’s hand

And I’ll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways

I’ll know my name as it’s called again.

“So here we are”, by Bloc Party

I caught a glimpse, but its been forgotten
So here we are again
I made a vow, to carry you home… home

I really tried to do what you wanted
It all went wrong again

I made a vow, to carry you home
If you fall sick, if you pass out

I figured it out, I can see again

Kim Janssen : Homesick and Hotelrooms

Driving past sidewalks and streets and cold nights outside with lots of lights.

Or the Sun shining through the windows on your face reading a story about how it used to be watching raindrops roll down through your bright smile looking outside and you can’t wait to rush out the door.

I feel safe in hotelrooms or on the endless highway in the dark.

Or on a red/white airplane taking me where I don’t need excuses to say that I don’t belong.

Clean floors that you could fall into and everything that you could ever wish for packed neatly on shelves.

Or those days you just couldn’t sit still in many rows and all the people that you know.

And they’re singing songs about a miracle and a tiny baby that saved the world and somehow the only thing that I can think about is how I’m ever going to make it to the end of my life.

This week song is “Dust on the ground” by Bombay Bicycle Club

Thanks Corona!

It’s that ancient love, that you won’t outgrow
It’s the fee you pay, it’s the debt you owe
It’s that subtle way that you throw me down
And I’m inches above the dust on the ground

I await your call, I await your crown
Let’s change our roads, and chase them all around
It’s that subtle way that you throw me down
and I’m inches above the dust on the ground

And all is quiet, all is quiet now
And all is silent, all is silent now
Now I don’t hide it, I don’t hide it now

And all is quiet, all is quiet now
And all is silent, all is silent now
Now I don’t hide it, I don’t hide it now
Now I don’t hide it, I don’t hide it now
