oh shit!

i almost forgot... i got my Pink tickets this weekend too!!! will be going w/ peter and jose!! 

yay!!! 

i fucking love me some pink. she reminds me of janis joplin... so unapologetic and so fierce and strong and yet still unafraid of showing her vulnerability. 

i absolutely love and admire her. 

Pink singer

and come on... that fucking body she rocks is amazzzzzing! 

ximena was

absolutely fab and adorable. we got a great spot.... i feel bad that they bumped her to the smaller venue. 

she also got postponed cause Spinal Tap performed last minute. i can't believe the bumped her for a fake band... anyway... dez and me went to the bar across the street, shared laughs, recalled drunken fun, shed a few tears and then headed back to The House of Blues. 

here are a few of my favorite pics:

ok, the "good roommate rules":

i've been thinking about this a lot lately, this is what i came up with so far: 

 i don't care to have the cleanest, tidiest place in the world but: 

- trash full? take it out! (and replace the bag) 

- its fine to put dishes in the sink, we can take turns... but PLEASE empty it first, and rinse it a little. I DO NOT want to be washing ur kid's cereal bowl from yesterday when the cereal is still in it. SO GROSS.

- taking turns should be fair. i don't to have to stage a silent protest, and i don't want to have to wash/clean just my own stuff. 

- let's spit the cost of stuff; i don't care if i don't like ur type of orange juice and you think i pay too much for bread (or whatever); we both know we're gonna share so let's divide the cost. 

- leaving your clothes in the washer/dryer is not bad sometimes, but when its every single time you do laundry its a big burden. i don't fold my own clothes, and i certainly won't be folding yours. 

this is what i have so far, and i'm gonna add more, but too tired from King Will's to continue!! feel free to add tho!

and lastly my yoshimoto.... my little love. today we rocked the yellow. 

today is easter and

i'm not exactly sure what that means. i was not raised in a religious home at all. we didn't even do the obligatory 2 visits per year (easter and xmas).... which i actually appreciate. my parents, being from Mexico, went wayyyy outside of the box on that one. my mom has defnitely instilled in us the ability to respect, and even admire, other religions, but never made us do anything we didnt want to...

so for Easter we normally cook out, drink, crack cascarones and sometimes play poker. this year however, feels a little different. nobody is really in the mood to be around people... especially not me. i've been thinking about my falling out w/ my sister a lot recently. i miss her so much. i wish things were different. i wish i hadnt put her on a pedestal, because she's not perfect. i wish we never traded money. i wish she never married her abuser. most of all though, i wish we were still friends. i trusted her more than anyone else in my family (besides my bad-ass mother, of course), and i can't believe how things went down. its not like us to have a falling out.

today i'm very sad. i think it has a lot to do with one of my best friends being sad too. heartbreak is a very humbling feeling. it makes you remember that your heart is very fragile while at the same time very resiliant. i wish i could tell her that it will get easier with time. that my sister broke my heart into a million little pieces, but its slowly forming back into a whole... but i know that in matter's of the heart no words are comforting. time is key. (no matter how cliche that may be)

so i'm going to wipe away my tears, put on a little rouge and smile. because i have a beautiful family, amazing friends, endless love and health.
