I am here for Friends

About Me

So, a few years ago I quit working in the Mortgage Industry to stay home and have a baby, now 3 years later I have 2! Vince is 2 1/2 and Isaac is just about 5 months old. It's hard staying home. I miss working and having money but it's a worthy sacrafice to know my kids are well taken care of. A little bit about me? I married my high school boyfriend Jose, that's a trip. We started dating when I was 15 and got married 7 years later, we have been married for 6 years so yeah- do the math thats 13 years together. I am very proud of that. We are awesome together, best friends. Before we became parents we used to spend our time seeing bands play, traveling, hanging out with friends. We got to go to England, France, Switzerland and Italy and I got to see Australia on my own with a friend. We love to travel and can't wait till we can get back to that once the kids are older. We are also big foodie geeks, love watching foodnetwork and cooking for friends and I rock at baking. That's about it I guess, no one could be that bored to read all of this! Basically I just love hanging out with my boys and the hubby and drinking some beers with friends.

My Interests

Reading reading reading. traveling although i don't get to do much of that now with a baby but we will get back to that someday. Watching geeky Astromony shows on Discovery Channel. Watching Horror movies, my poor kid has already been subjected to them all!!!

I'd like to meet:

Robert Smith - whom I've adored since I was a child. Clive Barker who is a FUCKING GENIUS!

Music:

The Cure, NIN, Ministry, Revolting Cocks, Lard, Skinny Puppy, Bauhaus, Prick. TOOL TOOL TOOL, A Perfect Circle, Maynard is GOD. Tones on Tail, Black tape for blue girl, And on a lighter note, Doves, South, Longwave, Kings of Convienience, Elliot Smith, Nick Drake, The Shins, Elbow, Sigur Ros, David Gray, D-Mode. Hmmmmm- so many, so little time, lets see.....Firewater, Trash Can Sintatras, Cop Shoot Cop, Failure, Slint, Radiohead, Built to Spill, Cursive, Janes Addiction, Interpol, The Walkmen, Death Cab for Cutie, Flaming Lips, We are Scientists, Air, Ocean Blue, Angelo Badalamente *sp?

DEAN MARTIN, that one needed CAPS in honor of grandpa. Cocteau Twins, Iron and Wine, Kitchens of Distinction, Aphex Twin, I really could go on and on and on.....

Movies:

Oh lord where do I begin!!!! anything Horror- Hellraiser, Amityville, Poltergeust (I like the oldies) SHAUN OF THE DEAD!!!! perfect zombie comedy. The Thing, Cabin Fever, Rosemary's baby, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Crow, Bladerunner, 28 days later, Event Horizon. But lets not forget the indie flicks- The Royal Tennenbaums, Garden State, Punch Drunk Love, Donnie Darko- I think you get the gist of it!.. width="425" height="350" ..

Television:

TV rots your brain- and since I am a stay at home mom I fight the battle of TV everyday. I refuse to be an Oprah/Dr. PHil housewife therefore I don't turn on the TV durning the day, I either put on a nice scary movie for my kid to watch HAHAHA or I listen to music, but I will admit that I am a reality junkie in the nighttime I also am totally addicted to the travel channel. Passport to Europe, Anthony Bourdain's no reservations. Anything that gets my brain working a little and makes me feel like I am in touch with the rest of the world and cultures even though I don't get out much.

Books:

Every single Clive Barker book ever written, and I have read Imajica twice now. I will admit that Dean Koontz is a guilty pleasure- re-reading some of his shit right now. Anne Rice of course, what kind of goth would I be without her!

Heroes:

My mom, I swear, just have a kid and suddenly your parents seem like fucking saints! Clive Barker is also my hero since I always wanted to be a writer. That man is pure genius

Just a super duper day

Well today was just an awesome day.  We took our 2nd trip to Disneyland this week.  Our first was on Monday, I didn't blog about it because it wasn't much to talk about.  We lost a lot ...

The Biggest Loser

That pretty much sums up how I have been feeling lately.  And not in a cool way like the TV show about all the people who lost weight, Im talking about a social reject.  A dork, a nerd, some...
