Again, with the (almost) weekly post thing. Crazy love going on virb, man! Thanks to everyone who sent messages and comments to the site in the last month!
Anyways, on to the news, I got some of my 30 stitches cut on the last week of september and the rest are internal stitches which are emerging little by little as my body expels them naturally. I have to wear sunblock anytime I leave the house and avoid sun at all costs. I'm not vampiring around like most would think, I'm just doing my every day workabouts, but just avoiding the sun by staying inside buildings and away from windows. I'm ok about most things, including the fact I come to grips with my new look and find that I really like it. It's insane going into a place and automatically getting respect or even authority for looking like a badass ex-convict.
Around the block I've discovered new stuff, which may not be new to you, but then again, it's my blog. Among the stuff I found was The Arcade Fire and Rilo Kiley which have the "Potions for Foxes" track that just kicks ass. The Amy Winehouse and Panic! at the Disco albums I just can't stop listening to. Along with mainstay Tycho's Sunrise Projector these are albums I literally listen to over and over several times a day. I highly recommend the Me & Mr. Jones track by Amy Winehouse, cause it's just too damn funny and has a bangin' instrumentation.
Aside from listening to music I've been indulging more in some of the activities I'm least known for, mainly going to parties and clubs. For instance, last friday I was at a Chiva Parrandera, which is basically a party in a bus, which takes you around town with your friends and has a bar inside and live music playing all the way, making stops at certain spots to check out clubs and take a pee. I also was at fellow designer Chanito's b-day party, which needless to say was a blast with all the other local designers I met and the funny drinking game we had in the end. It was specially shocking to see how far behind I am in terms of dancing salsa and merengue (Chanito and all his sisters are years ahead of me, quite possibly decades).
If there's a part that I'm trying to emphasize more is probably my gaming. I'm a huge gaming freak; so much I'm actually thinking of removing the "Tele" section of my profile and just swapping it for a "Games" title to make it closer to what I really do with my time. So far I have this huge library of games, but sadly I haven't really played them much due to time constraints and overall the fact the PS2 is my brother's room and I sorta like to play at nights, which is the time they use to sleep. I know, it's crazy right?! I'm hoping to get a PS2 for myself in the upcoming months as well as a cool LCD to replace the crappy CRT I got. At the moment I'm gnawing away at my DS with Zelda Phantom Hourglass, DK Jungle Climber and Castlevania Portrait of Ruin while practicing hard mode Guitar Hero 1 and 2 whenever I get a chance, mainly because it's a no-brainer, plug and play type of game that I can pound over and over for hours without getting bored. I've been meaning to get my finances ready for an Xbox 360, however I haven't been paid yet after almost a month and a half of working, because it takes three paydays (15 days in-between) for the government to cough up the first paycheck.
Yeah, I know working for the man sucks. In this case it has its rewards tho, since the work team is so amazingly funny and laid back to the point where it doesn't seem like a job until the moment you have to go home and put your hand on the clock at 5.
Currently all my design projects are at a halt due to my workings and responsibilities with an upcoming personal surprise, which I'll unveil when the time is due. Just know that It'll be awesome and I'm working hard on getting it done right. In the meantime, here's a list of the stuff I'm mainly listening to in no particular order:

3. Fall Out Boy - Beat It
4. I Love You But I've Chosen The Darkness - We're Still The Weaker Sex
5. Pitbull, Ying Yang Twins, Lil' Jon - Bojangles
