| it's been a long time... |

Well, its been quite a while since i've written in this journal. I guess after the post beforehand i lost all taste for this thing. But yesterday I had a day worth writing about.
Originally, my girlfriend and her very close friend Tonya were going to watch hot fuzz, (which is a great comedy) while i was going to watch Spiderman 3 with Carlos. I never get to hang out with the guy, and i originally wanted to hang out with him, but there were so many others that i knew of who wanted to see Spiderman 3. Tanya boyfriend Justin wanted to see it, as well as Robert. The biggest problem however was that by the minute auditoriums were closing. So Melissa and I started the day's rat race by first finding a theater that had an available Spiderman 3 and Hot Fuzz at near similar times. We found this in two places: Sunset Place and Dolphin Mall. Well, I made the calls and everyone was up for a 7:30 movie start. Im sitting in front of the dreaded Fandango site, fricking trashbags, and i order 4 tickets. But the error message appears when the auditorium had sold out. While everyone was trying to figure things out, time passed by and we lost the seating. So, now the closest seating was 6:05 or 10:00. But aside from me, the whole party did not have the energy to sit up at that time. Their work would be hectic the next day. So it was 6:05 then.
Well, I buy the tickets fast because i dont want to lose this auditorium as well. At the last second, the ladies change their mind and want to see Spiderman 3 as well, so i end up purchasing 6 tickets. I have to call and inform everyone, so the first one is Carlos. He doesnt answer. Next is Robert. I tell him the news, and he informs me that he wouldnt even be near his car at 6:30. It sucks that he wouldnt make it, but i tried really goddamn hard to include him. I inform the ladies, and my job should be done. Carlos gets in contact with me to give me some bad news. He would be leaving at the last second because his mom and sister stuffed him with some last second chores. Likewise, after i picked Meli up, traffic was so horrible that when we got to my house, we knew we were screwed.
We had to pick up the rest of the party down south and then book it to Dolphin Mall in the opposite direction. I pride myself in being a good driver... I had to drive liek the worlds biggest ass just to get there a few minutes late. On the way, Carlos' car wouldntt turn on at all. watching Spiderman 3 started a year ago with me and Carlos, and it mushroomed to a hopeful 6 last night. And he wouldn't be showing up either. So the 6 drops to 4. As we arrived, we received an angry call from Robert. He felt left out, and I understand his position, but I had to consider every single person, not just him. He wanted to know why we had to go to dolphin and not somewhere closer. We had to go back when we were considering Hot fuzz. It was at the last second that the tickets were purchased. Even so, no theater closer to us had any Spiderman 3 seatings open that would fit Meli, Tanya, and Justin. This was a group thing. Heck, Carlos couldnt come, because, if we had stopped to pick him up, we would have missed about half an hour to an hour, seeing as how getting off into traffic, and then getting back on would have been a bitch. And the parking would have killed us even more than it did last night. I know he felt backstabbed, but my intentions werent such. I bought his ticket in advance. In the end, the only person who could be flexible was me. In in ideal world, if everyone didnt have work the next day, all 6 of us would have seen it at 10. So he may feel that what was done was very inconsiderate, but i had to consider everyone.
The ladies went for the food, while Justin and I took the seats. We managed to arrive in time for the last two trailers, and the movie resumed soon after.
After the movie, there was a guy dressed up in a rather nice spiderman suit. He was shaking kids hands and other things. It was funny, worth a smirk. good man... the rest of the night was entertaining, but to be honest, this post was really about spiderman 3. I'll be rewatching this movie with whoever would like to watch it soon.

Well, I guess today will be my first livejournal-like entry, where I talk about my own life, and an issue that recently surfaced. Im not trying to make fun of any LJ subscriber, im just finally doing it for myself. id like to apologize in advance for all the spellign errors, and if i do get too personal and do nto stay as objective as i should, to the reader, i am sorry. in advance, a name was changed an dplaced in quotes for identity, whereas another name was never released out of privacy.
Im going to write this as honestly and truthfully and respectfully as I possibly could, and to the recipient whom this is about, this is the truth. No more of the plot twists. Quit it.
So what does this all amount to? Why this deep discourse on an old friendship? Well, it revolves around this livejournal. Yesterday, I was online, bored, so I decided to update my schools I went to. After I had fun recalling some memories with my mom, I decided to see if I could find anyone friend from the past. Found like 2! Lol, that shocked me. So then I decided to look at these different strangers, to see how the populace that came from my school are. I wondered how much we differed in that short time that these groups separated. One person’s lj had the 12 days of Christmas carol, where for each day, a different friend of their lj was accounted for. For instance “3 avaries flocking”. And then I saw prjctzro. I thought “No way…”. There was no way that I would have gotten an lj, but I had, and I thought the same for him. I no longer held any pain or anger towards him. He fucked up, I was more than giving, and I was disrespected. But I’ve become a more tolerant and understanding man, thanks to my many friends and my gf who have taught me along the way. So I opened his lj,a nd it was there, for sure. It existed. So this is the last post I saw. Unedited, except for that it is italized so as to not be confused with my writing.
Well, there you have it. Everything he said about me and my gf. The whole “case of the ex” bit. It didn’t shock me that we came up. It shocked me that what he said was conveniently rewritten, as if to make him innocent. But now that I look at it, its ok. He told a Terry Shievel joke (cant remember how to spell her name, rest in peace) to be ironic and some people went against him, making a life long grudge. Because they didn’t like his humor about a suffering woman. I’ve come to realize that this is the path he chose. Whats funny is he was the bible thumper before all of this. In the end, he sees himself now as a god. No one is above him. Sad.
Now, I don’t know if I can talk to him again. With the way he has disgraced our friendship, even in its fall. He’s shown what he thinks of everyone around him. And the sad part is that many know and care not to acknowledge it anyway. But truly, I feel worst for the young lady who knows nothing of it. I wish the best for her, and I wish the best for Andres. I hope you find peace in all your battles, and I hope you flourish with victories time and again. I hope your friendships are not clouded by idiosyncrasies, ignorance, or arrogance; that they may continue onward. As for the young lady, I hope you find happiness, and if you ever do read this, I am sorry. Bro, I hope it was worth it… I really do.

I thought I'd elaborate on that story I spoke about the other day. When I was a kid, I enjoyed reading alot, and I wish that would have transferred over to my age now. Nowadays, its not that I dislike reading, but I never find it to be one of my favorite hobbies, but hen someone presents a book to me, I tend to enjoy reading, as if i had never discontinued. This is true when it comes to a few books my darling Meli has introduced me to. Meli, shes something else. She can read through books at such an amazing speed. It takes her maybe 20 minutes to go through a manga. Doesnt sound amazing, yet if you take into account that she stops and analyzes every picture, can tell you what page a certain action is in almost any book she enjoyed, its quite amazing. I have a post college reading level, an almost perfect reading score, save for about 2 points. But what does that say for a girl who rents Stephen King books out and has to return them the same day, unless someone interrupts her with hard work? STEPHEN KING BOOKS! I mean, jeez, thats just unnatural. And if you think she cheated, ha! You can know a book front to back, and she'll speed throught it, and go ahead and try to quiz her and beat her. She'll give you more facts than you picked up in your enjoyment. sick.
Needless to say, she's a great reader, and if she likes a book, it cant be that bad. dont get me wrong, she's liked books before that were total trash in my opinion. but aside from a couple duds a year, she reads interesting books. Which brings me to American Gods, by Neil Gaiman. I was not too familiar with Gaiman's work, except for Sandman, and I only stumbled upon those because legendary Yoshitaka Amano, one of my favorite artists, did the artwork for it. So, Gaiman wasnt a big name for me to be honest. But Meli loves him. So I checked his American Gods out because Meli thought I'd enjoy it, seeing as how i love mythology, and the societies and culture of history. Im not saying this book is for you, but when I began reading it, I enjoyed what little I read of it, and it had been so long since I last read.
Im a great reader. Although Meli likes to laugh at me and act like a giant when she warps every book she touches due to her speed and I barely crack them open, I still have a greater comprehension and understanding than Meli. But, its natural. Theres no way she could be that fast and comprehend a stranger's every thought. If that were so, she coudl understand a writer's thoughts at a faster rate than the writer could develop them. Scary. Meli has great abilities, but I can still whoop her in one category in reading. Ner
Nowadays, I am adding different details everyday. I rewrite scenes to my likings, and continue to modify the story until Im happy with it. Its been long as arduous, but Im still kicking. For those who stumble across this journal, and ifnd interest in this digression of life, I thank you. For those who want to be a part of it, I'll try my best to instrumentalize your desires, and Im thankful. So, I'll give you this first: My Story is called Crystal Hearts. yeah I know, lame name stfu. The name serves a purpose. This LJ will serve to throw out and develop everything I have in my mind slowly. Ive had th eluck of posting so much already. But in the future, it will be slow, excruciatingly slow. But thats how I work. For a while, i will just be developing and reorganizing the order of what i have not put into place yet, and you do not get to see that, but once everythign is in order, I plan to write a good portion of story everytime i can, kind of like a pseudo webcomic. Web Story!!! SHOCKING! appalling. i know. So whats then until i get there? this can be whatever I make of it. If enough people want to read and add, then it might become a destructive battleground for new ideas between many people. or whatever else it can be become. this will alwas be my lj, so it wont always be Crystal Hearts related. In fact, until i really start writing it, this lj might be a regular lj, lol. either way, if this stays silent, then it becomes my little corner of the world where i write a little every day or so until its done. regardless, this will come up soon enough.
i've written alot today. mainly run-on topics and run-on sentences... no matter... later

hello, i finally managed to make an lj account, and for the past few days, ive been working on it, with help from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) avarie . To be honest, I never wanted to make one of these simply because, while a lot of my friends were finding it fun and interesting and useful, I never was interested by it. At first, I hated lj because everyone was so gun ho about it, but when I met Avarie, I looked at it with an open mind. Didn't find appealing then either. However, My Space sucks. Even with an open mind, My Space sucks.
I guess what finally got me interested enough to open an lj account were two similar hobbies. Since i was a child, and much hasnt changed since, I've been writing a story. Today, the story spans long continuation, and I have mostly straightened the story, but nothing has been written as of yet. So this lj account was mainly made for me to continue work on it, so that I may showcase it to the many few who are interested in following my story. As for the other reason, a couple of friends have decided to do a controlled rpg per say. We are to write, for creative purposes, an original story collaborating with each other and set in a world heavily inspired by Final Fantasy. This rpg will be done on livejournal so that we all have a swing at role playing. Needless to say, I'm pretty hyped up about both this Final Fantasy inspired RPG as well as my own story.
Anyways, something about the journal. I am a huge fan of Metal Gear. The background is Metal Gear REX from Metal Gear Solid for the Playstation. I did some minor CS2 work so that the colors are to my likings. Original art is Yoji Shinkawa, Art of Metal Gear Solid. Aside from Metal Gear, I am a huge fan of FF, GT, Chrono Cross, Crono Trigger, the Dragon Warriors, and many other games of the older generation. I love new games as well, but I guess you could say i am of the older generation in gaming. Anime fan, Film fan (especially Akira Kurosawa), and many other things. Ill get around to doing a huge profile eventually. As for now, this is enough.
