Weather
Geeze this weather keeps getting worse and worse and well, honestly Chicago is in a bipolar state. I think we should completely revamp or rename this city The Bipolar City, instead of The Windy City. It makes more sense, don't you think? Back to some 30s, then low teens this week.
Goals are being met
So I had to make a list of what I should aim for as goals this new year. Photo above is just some of the goals that are being completed as I type this. Which ones you ask? Mainly the cutting back on soda, trying to drink more water, so far no clothes & shoes have been purchased, eating healthier, and well a short story is in the making.. so yes, many are being met. I did add more to that list than what you see, but those are more personal to me and decide to not disclose them out in the public. Eric is also making many goals and accomplishing them and so I am proud of him on his completions.
Movies ahoy!
I will try my best to remember the movies I have seen in the theaters or through Netflix (N). So bare with me if I can't remember all of them. If you want a review on any of them, before you purchase/view or go out to see them, then let me know here or on Facebook through comments.
1. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
2. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
3. The Host (N)
4. The Road (N)
5. Fly Away (N)
6. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (N)
I have yet to make a new 2014 list of movies I want to see that will be coming out in theaters each month, unless changes in date say otherwise. I'll try to get that working just as soon as I'm done with this post. For now, look up the synopsis for each of these movies and see if any spark interest in you for a review from me. I won't bother making any, if no one reads them or so.. Sorry. Digital Blu FB Page
I will try my best to update my page on Facebook soon or in this new year! Having finally a full time job and an important one at that makes me just think of things of it during the weekend and over lapse into them. I do at times work in the weekends, depending if there's an event I need to be and represent the hospital I work at, so I do not all the time have weekends off now. Its a matter of 50/50 and if they need a bilingual there, but I am glad that new team members have been hired and well bilingual. At any rate, I will try to get back into being active with my page, but if you ever be so kindly to pass or share the page at your profile on Facebook, I would ever be so grateful. My goal for my photography and page is to get and be known and all honesty get more likes from people. I'm at least 33 if not 34 Likes so far, with your help, let's make it to at least 50 Likes by March if not sooner!! Like to be helpful in that? The share the page and mean it please! Thank you! I'll update it as well as soon as I have time to too.
Sorry for no updates/no posts for over a month, literally. My life hasn't been that interesting, especially recently. Anyways, on with the show! Weather It's been quite nice, in the upper 70s or straight 80s the whole month of August and September seems promising still as well. We were getting the aftermath of Hurricane Issac this weekend, but it wasn't that harsh...just rain and rain and more rain, in which terms turns into humidity and that doesn't feel pretty. I hope these temperatures stay this way during next week, it will be nice if they did! Artsy tartsy Recently, I have discovered I have a niche for photography! With the good help of Instagram app for iPhones/Androids/Smart phones, my next art skill to perfect and get into is Photography. Keep in mind, I have no background nor schooling on it what-so-ever. I could've taken a class on it during high school, but the requirement for it was to have a very fancy digital camera (like a canon or nikon brand like camera with a switchable BIG lens) and well, I didn't have the money for that and my dad's got stolen. Anyways, I couldn't bare for my parents to buy me one for just one class then, so I took other art classes I can afford. As soon as I find a job, my next small goal is to purchase one of those cameras and continue with that skill. Here are some of my examples so far, with water-marks:
A friend of mine put a request on my Digital Blu Facebook page, to do some photos dealing with trees! I did my best the first round and she told me not to be "afraid" to get closer and show detail. The second round, she loved and I have yet to hear from her about which pictures she would want print outs of. I will remove the water-marks on them and replace them with my actual signature and a price. If anyone would like to put requests, don't hesitate to! Luckily enough, I got great pics of trees when I went on a trip to Michigan with my family and some family members, to a farm there!
This is the base there at the farm, Tree-mendus Fruit Farm. Its in Eau Claire, Michigan, 2 hours away from Chicago and 20 mins or so once entering Michigan. Sadly, this time around all the peaches were gone, since the hot weather got here early...so did the harvest. We got more apples than peaches and from what we heard, the place will be closed earlier this year. Hopefully next year will be better than this year and I will get to take more pictures then! So for now, whenever I get the chance to take pictures of anything, I will to improve this skill. For more pictures and any art updates, please head to my Digital Blu Facebook page to check them out!! Besides finding out I got a niche on Photography, I decided to create a Facebook page that will display all of my artwork from my past, present and future projects! My portfolio is in there, under the albums and my demo reel will soon be on there as a video, but I do need to change some information that it has in the end of it. For now, anyone can check what I got out, please "Like" my page while you're there to get any updates on my progress on my artwork!! Image below is a link to my page, to redirect you to it! Go ahead, click it...you know you want to!!

I have finished another digital painting and I am proud of it! It is "X-Files" related and I have showed the end result of it on my Digital Blu Blog. So if you would like to take a look at it, go to my blog and enjoy! I have started another digital painting while still working on my "X-Files" painting, but this new one is dedicated to the new Silent Hill movie coming out in October. I can't wait to see that movie and enjoy it while it lasts! Preview for this new digital painting can be seen on my Digital Blu Facebook page as well, so go check it out!! Halloween is near! Well, I never do dress up for this event or "holiday", 'cause sadly I was always busy with working or just had no reason to, if there was no one to go with to have fun. This year, I want to get out of my nutshell and usual self and actually have fun during this holiday! In fact, I have decided what I wanted to be...*drum roll*...Heather from Silent Hill 3 game series. Yes, another dedication to the new movie coming out in the greatest time to do this, Halloween time!! I have yet to gather the articles of clothing to buy for this costume, but I figure I should look around in the Goodwill stores for it. If I can't find one or any there, Walmart is second best for this! We'll see how this goes, would've been a nurse, but that's complicated in itself and here is how she looks like:
Ah crap, I need a blonde wig & fake gun!!
And a nice movie trailer for you guys who haven't seen it!!
Lyrics tell it all
Recently I can relate to a specific song I heard that it was becoming popular recently. With its remixes and such, it is quite promising. I especially like the lyrics it has, before I didn't cause I refused to hear it 'cause of its beat, but once I read the lyrics and a recent incident that ties up with it, I have grown to like it A LOT!! I will put the official video of it and then highlight some of the lyrics I can totally relate to now more than ever.
"You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness Like resignation to the end Always the end So when we found that we could not make sense Well you said that we would still be friends But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over"
This part, I'm sure I was addicted to a certain kind of sadness. I never wanted to be left alone and I had someone I can relate to 'cause not only with similar interestswe had in common, but just the way our lives were going...with road bumps, dead ends and cul-de-sac's it wasn't going to go nowhere, but only in circles. Once it was over, I was confused to which direction to take, since I have taken each road before already...staying friends or not being friends and both, didn't work out for me. No matter how hard I tried, it just went like a flat life line. This time round, it's staying that way for sure...a flat life line, so I was glad it was over.
"Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over But had me believing it was always something that I'd done And I don't wanna live that way Reading into every word you say You said that you could let it go And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know..."
I read between the lines with fights or situations I get into. Once I'm involved, I get confused and start to make 2 to 3 paths it might be or lead to. I like preparing myself and my feelings in whatever direction it might go. During this life event, I at times felt like I did something wrong, whenever we got into a fight or so. I feared of being let go and abandonment 'cause I "started a fight/discussion", it was my fault right? I started the mess and was stuck in it right? If she started it and all, she's the issue basically. I stood my ground most of the time and had backup for it, but even then...it screwed me over, somehow, I was always the bad guy no matter what. Well, I felt crappy when that happened and I didn't "win" the fight and hated living that way. I don't want to live that way, ever again, and even though this happened in my past and was told so, it happened. I don't deserve this, no one does!! Even when I tried to explain myself, figures....people thought I was fighting with them and "yelling" back. I don't want to live that way and I'll be the someone that you used to know and vice versa!!
Also, don't play with my feelings, don't ask questions that will lead me to think you like me, leave me hanging, ignoring me, thinking I'm putting myself on a pedal-stool in which clearly I said I'm not and clearing my end of the confusion in my mind and don't go say shitty crap that will make you look like a dumb m****r f**ker, 'cause sweety...I'm not the one with a mental disorder, literally and you're no gentleman if you go on saying stuff like that, so quit calling yourself that. Personality is nothing like the past person I was with...not one bit, just your shitty jokes!! That's all I have to say 'cause I can, it's MY BLOG and its a FREE COUNTRY.
