Even A Broken Clock Is "Right" Twice A Day......

Even at your worst, you are sometimes at your best.

Even when you are wrong, you are usually right.

Even when you are saying "no," you mean yes.

Even when you give up, you still push on.

Even though you are smiling on the outside, you are dying on the inside.

Even when things seem to be running along smoothly, you strap on your seatbelt and wait for the turbulence.

Even when you think, "I hate you," you know you still feel, "I love you."

Even when I say, "I don't have to be right," I kinda do.

Even when you come in second place, you are actually a winner!

Even when you don't feel like writing, you find yourself at the computer blogging about it.....

What is "life" but a circle of contradictions.

HAPPY "Aunti's DAY!"

Today is a celebration of those who are like "moms" but sometimes cooler and a bit more understanding. At least that's how I see it. I am the PROUD AUNT of 3 beautiful babies. First is my nephew, Jonathan Sebastian Ramirez. He is the first boy namesake and I dearly miss him. I am SO honored to be your "Auntene" my Cha-Chan! I LOVE you more than you'll ever know!


I also have the honor of being the Aunti to two of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. My nieces, Tanaya Marie and Alyssa Marie. They are truly an addition to this single girl's life. They are a perfect mixture of their mom and dad and I see a bit of Aunti in them too! The "sassy" part. LOL. I have to say, they truly make the day's more interesting. I love you my NayNay and Lyssa (a.k.a. "The BRATZ)"


I also celebrate this day because of someone who was very dear to me. My great-aunt Hortencia Garcia. She was the best! She made the simplest things seem like the greatest ever. I still have not tasted a better alphabet soup, macaroon, or a mustard sandwich. She truly loved me through and through and she was not only my Aunti, she was my best friend. What I wouldn't have done without her in my life. Since God has taken her to be with him, I have never been the same. The day she left us, a piece of me was taken with her. I still wait for her to let me know she is fine but she hasn't come YET....I will be waiting and when you are ready Aunti, I am here. I love you and I miss you everyday! May you enjoy the spiritual field of lavender tulips I am sending your way.
R.I.P. My Aunti and HAPPY AUNTI'S DAY!!!

"I Got Ice In My Veins, Blood In My Eyes, Hate In My Heart, Love In My Mind...."

If I ever find the man who penned the phrase, "happily ever after," I am going to give him a swift kick in the ass! That quote has haunted women for many generations. We all fall for the same storyline where "Prince Charming" shows up just in time to rescue his "Princess." It's so CLICHE! It's amazing that even as time evolves, we still find ourselves falling for this same line of bullshit over and over again.

I have to admit, before all of this bitterness was a little girl who dreamt of the white wedding, the saving herself for one man, the glass shoe, the man who would take her away and tell her all was going to be okay. I dreamt of the white picket fence, babies, a solid and loving marriage where "cheating" was only a word used when playing board games and not with hearts. A time when all I could think of was how it would feel to finally tell someone I loved him and have him tell me in return and MEAN IT!

We've seen in all of the common fairytale movies that no matter what the woman has said and regardless of what the man has done, all will work itself out because afterall, the boy gets the girl in the end right? Boy, that couldn't be further from the truth. Sure we attempt to go on believing that God has created that ONE person made especially for us, the one man/woman who will love you unconditionally, respect you, want you and ONLY YOU! Your complete equal, your soulmate, the love of you life. SIGH....SIGH...and more SIGHS!



I feel a sneeze coming on...Aaahh--ahhh.....BULLSHIT!... Excuse me!

We are lead to believe early on that this whole "happily ever after" truly does exist when all along, happiness is what you make it. It is not the same for everybody because what makes you happy may not matter to someone else and vice versa.

A girl who is born into this world everyday, rightfully deserves the man, the very FIRST man who should love her, show her what love really is, and who will show her the TRUE meaning of her worth. Instead, some of these girls are left hanging by fate and in turn go on awaiting their first heartache which is really not a true heartbreak because if it's not whole to begin with, it cannot truly be broken.

See, I've learned this the hard way and even now as I type this particular blog, I sit here as a 36 year old woman only ever having experienced "LOVE" once.

Yet I still yearn for the love, the purest of love from the one man who will never provide it to me. I can honestly say that even at its worst, LOVE has a way of changing you. When it's real and without doubt, it's very fulfilling, very giving, very open, and not loaded with all the bullshit games. It attaches to you like a stain you cannot remove. You never see it coming and sometimes it's staring you right in the face.

Thanks to ONE man, I am no longer BLINDED by the false pretenses, pretend storylines, and FAKE promises a man makes to a woman because afterall, isn't it merely about sex anyway?

Thank you E. I dedicate THIS blog to you and graciously bow out of this SICK LOVE.

To everyone else who still believes in "happily ever after," I'll leave you with this:

I'm not a princess
This ain't a fairytale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet and lead her up the stairwell

I was a dreamer before he went and let me down
Now it's too late for me to wait for the white horses to come around
and Prince Charming isn't coming either.

Happy endings now I know, truly don't exist but LOVE even in all its dreary light, does. However, it's never enough and usually winds up hurting you in the end.

Thanks for the false hopes. Oh and Cupid is full of shit just the same.
The sooner you realize that, the faster you'll accept it!

Moral to this story...there are no happy endings.........

I'm Gone.......

p.s. To all the men who abandon their "donations," please remember it is YOU who fucks us over first and THEM who pay for it later."

A Day Spent With My BROS & TOY STORY 3

SO I started my day wondering if I would even see my bros let alone would we go to the movies and see the third installment of the Toy Story saga ;-)

But I did. I felt bad because they had just experienced back to back days at EDC which meant early rise, hot days, and very little sleep. But they were troopers and accompanied me to the movies to see Toy Story 3.

We had our candies, nachos, popcorn, and drinks and in we went!

I was determined to catch the opening credit and the first showing of Woody for my B and I did!




The first 10 minutes of the movie is hilarious! I love this trilogy!

All of the classic favorites are back....Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Mr & Mrs. Potato Head, Slinky, Rex, Jessie, Hamm, Squeeze Toy Aliens, Bullseye, and Sarge & the Buck O' Soldiers.



All the new characters introduced were great: Lots-O'-Huggin'-Bear, Big Baby, Buttercup,Trixie, Mr. PricklePants, Sparks, and Crazy Monkey. I love how Pixar gives you "hints" of upcoming characters in other movies before the actual movie is made. For instance, in Monsters, Inc., they introduced a main character in Toy Story 3, "Lots-O'-Huggin'-Bear."



I also took a kind liking to a character who bore a striking resemblance to my Corey called "Big Baby." LOL



The fact that they brought in Ken for Barbie was funny because even with their "love interest," you still question Ken's taste in girls; or is it boys? lol



Notable characters missing: Bo Peep, Weezy, Lenny, and Etch.

It begins with Andy preparing for college and him sorting through stuff that he is taking with him, storing away in the attic, or simply discarding. The box of toys with all the main toys in it accidentally gets thrown out when in reality, Andy wanted to store them in the attic. He only places Woody in his "college" box. Thus begins the journey....




They wind up at the Sunnyside Day Care and are greeted with lots of new toys who welcome them...or do they?



Too many cute things to mention about this movie. One that stands out for me is Buzz's demo switch being switched which puts him into Spanish mode. He even dances too! LOL



I didn't cry like I thought I would when Andy leaves to college but I did cry a little inside because I KNOW that there will be a day when it comes time for them to go off and begin their journey. However, I know they will NEVER be too far from me!



I truly am blessed with 2 brothers who are not only 19 and 17 (soon to be 18) who were hella tires, and who were still willing to accompany their sometimes overbearing sister, to a movie she saw with them when they were her little baby bros.

To quote B, "the day that bird took my Woody, was the day my life changed."

You're right B, it did. You became the most intelligent person I know and Corey, you became the reason I decided to give my all in school that last year I was there. YOU BOTH ARE MY INSPIRATION and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for hanging out with me and watching a childhood movie you loved. Thanks for not being embarassed by your big sis.

I LOVE you guys!
You truly are my WORLD!
