Old Time Family Baseball: What Marketing Execs Dream About
From (who else?) The Onion:
“The Miami Marlins announced Saturday they are completely sold out of tickets for the 2012 season, ending a deluge of requests from area residents completely rabid about the long-ignored team’s new cap and uniform colors. “Until three weeks ago, I didn’t know…
This makes me laugh AND sad all at the same time. Every baseball team deserves love!! Well except the Phillies, and the Giants, oooh and the Padres!
In celebration of Charles Schulz…
Osea que chevere, No?
I went to the Belanova/Julieta Venegas concert yesterday! They had this free concert at LA Live that they had promoted the hell out of on the radio. I actually had forgotten all about it, and i was on the silver line leaving school when i remembered. It drops me off a block or two from Staples Center so i decided to go …. SOLO.
It was actually a pretty awesome experience. I was kinda bummed when i got there because everyone was there in groups of friends. But soon enough everyone started befriending me and I met a bunch of cool people. I think is the bands following in general because the crowd was so friendly and nice. I met 2 dudes who kept making fun of me because i had a backback on. They kept saying ” a cuanto los tacos, las tortas tienes cerveza!” haha they even made a little circle so i could place my bag down and no one would step on it, they took all my videos for me, since i was too short and they kept me laughing all night. It was really cool, honestly. I was a little afraid in the end because I had no idea how to get back home, but I found the blue line quickly and got home safe a sound :) But dont be fooled, the blue line and red line is full of freaks at night :/
First solo concert ever, probably one of the best concerts yet! Oh and did i mention, Julieta kicked ass!
I’m going to go 50-50 next year. I’m telling you, y’all created a monster. I’m about to get back in the weight room super tough so I can be as strong as I was last year….I’m serious. If I don’t [get there], it means I let y’all down and lied to you, and I don’t like being a liar.
Bebe te llore todo un rio
Be… be… te llore a reventar.
I forgot how much I enjoy driving, I am so glad to have my little car back!! Today while driving back home from school, Mana came on the radio, and my little heart fell in love all over again.
I have always felt my most vulnerable to writing and expressing myself, when I am in pain. But for the pasts 8 months, i have been unable to write about anything, ANY damn thing. I was so consumed with Ben, that i didnt need to write it down, i didnt want to jinx it. I wanted him all for myself.
I dont know what the break up with Ben did to me, but it shook me. My mom always told me, “como te ves me vi, y como me ves te veras”, and those words have never felt so true until now. When i got home that day, when i finallly broke things off and I looked at myself in the mirror and I couldn’t recognize my own face. I lost ALL of myself for him and it made me so fucken sad.
I guess thats what true depression feels like.
I hadnt felt that way since Robert and I broke up. I dont think any man could compare to the kind of love I had for Robert, but he came close. I cried for so many fucking days, that i felt so numb. I felt so lost.
But today, as I was driving home, i remembered what Roberts dad once told me, and with that, I shook it off. I shook off all the heaviness in my heart. “Mija, cuando ustedes se dicen malas palabras, ya no se tienen respecto, y cuando No tienen respecto, que les queda?”
Sometimes i cant believe that was a part of my life. Sometimes I cant believe that part of my life is over.
This is my release.

What I think makes Vin [Scully] such a wonderful listen — and has for more than a half century — is that his voice stays in the background, the statistics he uses make sense and feel true, his stories enhance what you’re watching, he’s honest about whatever he’s seeing and he has Coltrane’s sense of rhythm. It’s a remarkable combination. Baseball is a tough game to announce. The action is spread out. The pace is uneven. The strategies are often intricate and not especially interesting for casual fans (they don’t call boring politics “inside baseball” for nothing). The statistics are often wonky. But there are great opportunities, too — baseball’s a wonderful game for stories, for drama, for insight. Yes, it would be great to hear Vin Scully call a World Series again.

Un Millon de Primaveras
Every year i have 2 traditions: Dodgers Opening Day & the Vicente Fernandez Concert. I’ve gone to see Chente for the past 5 years and this years was privileged enough to see him again. The concert also marked the first night in 3 months, were i’ve had more than 2 drinks in a row. And needless to say it was an amazing experience! Chente is such a great performer, and such a humble human being. He makes me so proud of being Mexican, and so thankful to speak spanish.
Here’s to falling in love with my culture all over again.
And heres to never drinking again =) Because the was the worst effin hangover ever!
For someone who….
Doesnt want to get married, i def have it all planned out already :)
My Flowers <3 My Dress <3 and my cake!! <3
I went home to SD to take my babies trick or treating & it was sooo much fun! Diego dressed up as a doctor, and Roger was a ninja. He is so freaking funny because he put on his Ninja Turtle costume under his regular NInja costume to have muscles! haha!
I took the them to the harvest at church and then to trick or treat! The neighbor down the street from my moms, had his whole house decked out as a haunted house. Roger and Diego were so scared to go knock, i had to carry Diego the whole way. We finally got through and he say “thats not scary” but just as soon as we turned around a huge fake spider fell on his head! Soooo funny!! haha
