This Higher Posting Frequency is Causing Bleeding in My Brain Holes

Wow! Numero deux ("two", in English for the Americans and small population of Canadians who decided to skip French class) already! I think this is more of a reflective thing for me, I guess to spend time pondering my mistakes in life (as well as good stuff). haha...thus, the title of my blogger. Well, it's like 1 am on a Saturday morning and I shoulda went clubbing with my buds. But, alas, homework comes first and foremost and this blog is PURELY for a break. Hope you had fun bros! HOLLA!!

Since things seem to have domino effects, one thing leads to another. That's fate for you! The end result and it's quirky relation to it's unnoticed beginnings. Let's just say that taking a grad photo one day (that would be me, today), leads to a free York Lions shirt and meeting up with a (let's call her a friend since she remembers me) "friend" by accident that you haven't seen/talked to in almost 2 years. Whoaa...I thought I would never, ever heeevverr see this person again, so there's fate for you.



BG music for this moment should be provided by Coldplay's B-Side, For You


Anyways, back on the subject of coincidences, cause really, there are none. That's why I'm writing! Pure purpose, in the hope that fate will help me understand the unexplainable (not right away, but maybe someday). That sounds confusing, so you can choose to skip.

Okay, really, back to coincidences. I guess that was a coincidence that I coincidentally skipped talking about coincidences! *cue Coldplay B-Side, Ladder To The Sun Well, I actually checked old emails from the past, and once again, it's like a breath of fresh air (that smells more like poo as you pay more attention...awww). You know that feeling you get when you watched a movie that intrigued you a thousand times, and when the good or bad parts come, you still have similar reactions even though you expected them? That's the way I feel...haha It's actually like reading your old yearbook comments or your old highschool agendas. Those times that were great...and the times that weren't so much. The times that were hard and the times that were soo chill that you can remember them as such. Weird really, it's like seeing fate unfold. Although, it's different cause it's my own fate! haha well, in the past. I guess that's a part of growing up...seeing the mistakes along the way and trying to correct them.

This blogger, I think, is trying to work in that same way. But at the same time, hopefully giving someone else insight into how someone like me (a moron) thinks. haha Back to the emails --> to the possibilities that could have come, but simply decided to go, I tip my hat to you for giving me the chance to learn.

This year should also contain more positivity. My mom thinks I'm too negative...I should really look up more often.

CAN THIS BE TRUE? PRETTY RICKY IS BLOGGING?

Well, I don't think I'm pretty....haha, but thanks to Jay, I've got a name for that funky black guy voice that I do on the phone. Actually, it's pretty funny how we (as a group) attempt to do stupid made up voices over the phone in order to trick each other. In most cases, it's not to trick, but to either make fun of someone's accent (it's informed, not an ignorant attempt...lol) or just to be a monkey on the ringer.


"Pretty Ricky please. Thanks a bunch baby."


But I guess I wanted to blog cause (1) I've got some free time, but I really should be playing some game on the newly bought PS2, (2) I feel bad cause my friends blog, but for some reason, I don't! (sorry Abby...haha), and (3) as usual, I've got a little something on my mind.

Number (3) is always the kicker. I've actually always got something on my mind. But lately, I've been busy with other things it seems so there wasn't much time to tell people out there (who are interested) what I'm thinking. Well, now it's time for a little reflection! Ohhh yess...hahaha
Last year was actually great. I'd like to first thank God for helping me make it this far and helping me get my buttocks through last year. I mean, what more could you ask for? Really? I'd rather not go too far into detail (or not at all) but maybe keep those moments to myself. My family has always been there, even when there's a scuffle of sorts and hope they'll continue to do so (and that I give back...no, not buy them dickies or something). Also, my friends. Really, these guys are always going to be the best people a guy could be surrounded by. A little sappy, but these guys made last year happen...and I hope we can make this year happen too.

Well, I guess I'll get to the meat of this post - that is the subject of...*(cue Jay's Special Drum Roll Extravaganza)...THE FUTURE!!!

Yesss...what everyone would like to know but can't because they don't have a time machine like Bill and Ted. Really though. I try to think about where I could possibly be in a couple months and years. But it's really open. I mean, there are so many possibilities that it's good and scary at the same cause I don't know how it's gonna look like. I know there are things happening out there that seem larger than my puny issues (The Tsunami, terrorrists...things of that nature and I hope things clear up) but I really am trying to look positively to help people around me feel positive too. Maybe even give a job here and there. haha just kidding you nasty people...that's sick


Rick James Dominguez now singing at Sizzling Plate! Come see his wonder! Sing!


And, the ongoing thought...will I always be single? haha...it's not a bad thing (even though it's a constant thought), but neither is it a good thing. I guess I'd like to give it a shot. But, I always have the wrong timing! dannggg...it's probably me. Hopefully it works out sometime. I know you're out there, "Pretty-Ricky's-Lady-insert-your-name-here"!
It's weird...really weird. But there's a person out there that, well if she's reading this somehow, "Love Affair" (that's all...it could be ANYTHING!). Whatever that means. hahaha Well, if she does read this, she'll know what I'm talking about. And NO I haven't forgotten. I'm just not making too much of a fuss about it cause I really don't know how things in my life will turn out. And right now, I'm not too much in a position to do anything (which is sad...and I'm sorry for that). I'm unsure, and I've been burnt many a times...so many that I need more than one hand to count. I guess all I can say is I haven't forgotten and if the time comes (and there's a stroke of fate), things will go from there. But I don't think I'll forget. I just hope she hasn't. Cause then, that would suck. haha

And if it doesn't work out, then I guess it's okay. Cause at least the past was, well, good. No real complaints.

So, I guess the rule of thumb this year is: NO FEAR

In everything I do. No hesitation. Just pre-meditation before making any harsh decisions. The same goes for my buds. Have a goal, and go through with it. If I've taken anything so far from Mr. Tim Whiten (aka Malcolm X) in Drawing class, it's to be fearless. As long as you can see your path and you know where you wanna go, making it to point B from point A is as easy as taking the first step on that path between them. Catch my drift? If not, then just take the Yellow Brick road, it's the same shiet. haha
