addicted to the radio as a kid

Being that I have time on my hands with the preperation of the little one on the way. As of late we don’t know if  it’s a boy or girl but for the mean time we’re sticking with the nick names of Mr. Babies or Senorita Snuggles.  : D .. (side note : make sure to say Senorita snuggles with a spanish accent).

So I’ve stumbled on youtube this countdown of the Top Alternative 160 songs from the 90’s and I just found it funny because as a teenager I was addicted to listening to the radio. My little black boom box, which use to belong to my mamalita (grandmother) she gave it to me when she passed away. I loved that little boom box…<3 …  well, since I didn’t have money to buy tapes or cd’s at the time or let alone borromw from friends they were tight wads! BASTARDS!  I use to listen to 106.7 KROQ in Los Angeles, from the morning I woke up to the time I would go to sleep. I grew up listening to that radio station so did my brother’s  

It was just funny watching this countdown because all of the songs just brought back tons of memories! ………………………. now i feel old …

 

the long week ahead of me

Its strange when you work , how you actually miss having time on your hands and being able to relax during the week. I’ve been working again for about a good month now, Its not too bad just a lot of heavy physical work some times my back kills me but, its more so having to do with the type of bed I own, which has no blasted frame on it so I’m  bascially sleeping on the floor.  yay for me …..  today is Sunday so I look forward in visiting the Kanaquh ( I hope i spelled that right    )    yesterday a thought had popped in my head, in March it will be 5 years that I’ve been living here in NYC. Sometimes I forget that I use to live in Los Angeles or that I use to have a different life back there. At times when I visit home it comes like a rush of memories, even I don’t feel like myself when I travel back to L.A.

to be continued…..

nervousssssssss……………………………………

So tomorrow I start on my own as a Personal Care Asst.  I’m hoping I do well for some reason I like to fast forward my mind to after the work is done and over that way I don’t have to worry about thinking how awful I’m going to do at work. Its a piece of cake I’ve worked as a Special Ed. Asst. for about 5 years I know more or less the procedures and what to do, yes its a lot of busy work .. for some reason I’m not a fan of the laid back type of job.  I would be easily bored and staring at the clock until its time to leave isn’t the most fun for me.  I guess I just want things to go well, I want things to be in the routine of comfort. Its an awful habit I have searching for comfort in everything I do. Its kind of like I want the change, yet I need the routine… if that makes any sense. :/   I had the same nervous feelings when I started in Special Ed. Back home in Los Angeles. ACTUALLY… what is really funny to me is how I’ve gotten so use to living here in New York City that I don’t realise i’m living in NYC.. it didnt’ hit me until I was walking home on Friday night from Columbus Circle trying to catch the subway.  As I was walking home an immense thought just slapped me in the face ……………. ……….. I  live in NYC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I know I know .. i’ve been living here for the past few years but, it really hit me. I mean I actually live and work in NYC its a bid deal for me I live, work, eat, play, etc in NYC !! I came from Los Angeles I live there for 22 years and now I live here in NYC at 27 !!!! lol I guess I’m still a bit shocked by it lol……….

 

From L.A to N.Y

 

Los Angeles what a wonderful young city , Its the best place to be when you want sunny warm weather 365 days a year. The ocean is blue and on a good day at the beach you can actually see dolphins swimming. I love my city and home town which is just East of Los Angeles. Everything is slow paced, people are outside on sundays watering their front lawns, kids are riding there bikes on the streets, everyone is playing at the park. Of course the traffic is bad after all everyone and their na na has a car. There at least has to be 3 to 4 cars per family. Hell everyone in my family has a car, i think I was the only one who didn’t. There are times when I do miss home, being able to jump in a car and just drive, the cool thing is if you can’t drive there was always the good old MTA buses. I’ve ridden on so many buses I practically know how to get around the city without a car. The new train system isn’t so bad either, it’s very modern and up to date, always on time and rarely ever crowded. At least I think it still is, I haven’t lived in Los Angeles for about 5 years now. I lived in L.A for about 22 years. My family and friends live in Los Angeles I decided to make a huge change and leave from one big city to a bigger city…….. New York City! 

 

This city is huge!!! Hell in this one picture i took on 14th street Union Square look at how many friggin people are outside and this on a weekday! Its been such a hard transition for me to get use to, I hear many New yorkers who move to L.A have a hard time adjusting due to the fact that its really laid back and slow. I just feel bad for Los Angelinos who move to NY, pace is and stress here is immense. I’m surprised I haven’t had a heart attack yet or a stroke. I’ve had to put my laid back, easy carefree attitude on the back burner and bring out my inner New Yorker. Luckily I’ve had special people to help me out on that little department, although New York has really great places plus the seasons are always awesome to witness. I was so surprised when I moved to New York to actually see snow or the start of fall when the trees changed colored, or when spring came around. You can see the birds chirping and flowers growing its truly a beautiful sight. I must admit though I hate the summer, thats one season i can do with out all together. There is no need to have a swampy sweaty ass where ever i go, or having my balls stick to the left side of my leg ( well if I had balls atleast).. but you get my point. I’ll always love my home Los Angeles but I think I’m start to fall for my new city and new home.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the Beginning …..

Actually I’m not going to start at the beginning because that would take tooooo long! I also don’t have time to ramble on and on and on and on and on … or.. maybe I do Let’s just say it involves a lions den, a jungle, and try not to be bitten by lions. I’ll elaborate more about that later teehee.   Yes the lovely lass on the right is me… no you fools not the drawing GEEEEEEEEEEEZZZ ! but the one with hair and flesh along with the wonderfully applied make up which took about an hour to do simply for this picture.  Not really.

               So am I bloging you may ask??? Aside from me saying the word Blogging (emphasizing on the BLLLL) I figure it would be a good idea to slap my ideas on here and basically help me cope with the fact that I’m a East Los girl ( East Los Angeles) living in the Big Apple, New York City.  I figure it would be nice to share some pictures, my daily rambles and whatever else I can think of to slap on this BLLLLLLLLog. 

Enjoy
