Fire is the cure

3 months and a week

By 2100 tonight, it will be exactly 3 months and 1 week since my daughter was born. To be perfectly honest, I still find myself in a state of disbelief from time to time. Where did she come from? Who is she? How did she conquer me? Oh man, I love her so much and I have been enjoying every single second of being with her, I already miss her early days so bad, hell I already miss her yesterday so bad! She has been nothing short of THE BEST in every aspect. Sad and at the same time most joyful thing is that she is growing so fast right in from of my eyes, she has changed a lot from early days, the days that I wasn't myself and did everything by instinct without thinking or pausing for a second. That was one amazing experience and like I have said before, beyond words and inexplicable. I just want to sit and look at her endlessly, I wish I could freeze the time and enjoy her current age even more but that's impossible! she has been the sole bright light of the past low times. My wife and I can not be happier and we are very grateful for having such a wonderful gift with us. At this point, I am going from "most beautiful girl in the world" which per se is still valid to "The most beautiful thing in the world" which I strongly believe is an understatement.

Apathetic

Yes, that's how I feel about this year's World Series. Why? Because:

1. I don't like the Giants closer Brian Wilson, I think he looks ridiculous in that stupid beard. I don't care if SF has made it there for the first time in history. The hell with them...very nice park though!

2. Former owners of Liverpool which pulled the club down to unprecedented levels as well as Mr. W himself were former owners of Texas Rangers, so sorry cowboys, no love from this guy to you!

Problem located!

Q. Why I don't write as often as I want to?
A. Because I don't read my own blog as much as I read others' blogs.

While I have failed to keep up with resolution 8 on the frequency of blogging, this Q&A calls for yet 2 more resolutions:

Resolution 10: Older posts have to be reviewed at least once a week.
Resolution 11: Posts should not stay in draft status more than a month.

I have to do a massive follow up on the resolutions and do some shake-up since I am way behind...not good, not good at all...consistency is the key goddamit!

Finally!

Well, we saw it all: horrible season, massive debts, loss after loss, getting kicked out of the cups, reaching a new low after low, and long court battle on the ownership which ended hopefully for the better. Finally my beloved Reds won 'a game' last weekend to relief of everyone and reduce the pressure off manager and many others involved. Also El nino or Ferri as I like to call him scored after a long drought. Now we just have to hope that 'we will be holding our head up high' and reach 'the golden sky'.

Keep the faith and "We'll never walk alone".

Motorstorm

My brother was bugging me for quite some time to try this game, actually he was refering to Motorstorm II and I responded exactly like myself: reluctant to try anything new. ATT who was kind enough to lend me his game i.e. Motorstorm (and not II!) and I tried it and came back again exactly the way I am: I got hooked up pretty good. I guess the high speeding and high jumping and the dirt and dust as well as the close competition and racing on the edges and above all, a Grand Canyon landscape together with acceptable dose of rock music in the background, just cut it for me. It's pity that they haven't put more tracks like "Breed"; I would have been happy to see some from Linkin Park and bands in the similar genres. I think one of the success factors lies behind the fact that it has been developed by Sony and, man those Sony people know what's gaming about: the existence of PS3 itself is an obvious proof of that.

Now, while I am still not done with this one, I am really looking forward to get my hands on the II and many thanks to my master for this.

Where were you

A gray Sunday morning, the streets are empty...man and woman are in the car, man is driving, he is about to be away for some time...after a while woman puts man's sun shades on to cover her tears...both are silent...man is talking to her in his head:" For every single drop of tear that you have EVER shed, I have cried a thousand times...a thousand times...and you never noticed it since I always cry on the inside..."

Music from the car's stereo:" Where were you when I was burned and broken...While the days slipped by from my window watching..."
