Some new developments

---

I’m feeling I can never be alone in San Jose – which is a good thing most of the times. After working all day I can actually go blow off steam hanging out with my friends, which is nice. It was such an occasion today in which I learned a few choice spots from Johnny. San Jose is becoming less and less of a mystery. I know the city’s big… not quite LA, but bigger than the valley… and growing.

So… I guess it falls on me to have adventures because supposedly I have hella free time, but in actuality I don’t. What with LSAT classes and now it turns out some “fun” college classes with my cousin… I might not have time between work, class, class, and skateboarding. Yes, that’s right, skateboarding. I did some of that today… getting my skateboarding legs in shape… maybe that would build momentum towards actually working out.

My mom’s still hurting… but she refused to go to the doctor’s again [it’s a wonder where I got that stubbornness from]. I got her to make an appointment for tomorrow, and I’m pretty much going to drive her there to make sure she gets treatment. I swear she needs to chill… it’s not like the work is going anywhere. Still, I tried my best to do as much as I can today. I figured if it’s done, than there’s nothing to worry about [though I’m sure she’ll find something].

My stepfather is considering an addition to the family… [Thinking positive, but as if there isn’t enough pressure…]. Who knows? This might push me even harder. Fuel for the flame… a fierce fire burning for a favorable future [See positive]. *note; I need to practice my other literary techniques, although alliteration is always awesome!P*

Congratulations are in order.

My cousin and my cousin-in-law had a child yesterday. Well, actually, my cousin’s wife had the child, and I’m sure my cousin did a great job watching/”supporting”. I just got the news today. The baby, a girl I believe [I need to confirm that], was born 6 weeks early weighing in at about 5 lbs. I can’t wait to see what she looks like, if she takes after her mom or her dad.

On the baby front, I met my aunt's baby girl today as well. It was my first time seeing the little thing. Very pretty, you can tell already. She has big eyes and light skin. She's half and half... which brings me full circle back to Johnny.

The Little Half-&-Half Part of Life.

So Johnny’s dealing with a proposal that I think is ridiculous. It sets up for a whole lot of hurt… but it’s his decision. I got to back my homie up on this one. This sucks because it falls on me to have fascinating stories… and for those who have been following my ongoing narrative… I’m pretty dull. Still, I’m not one to disappoint. Life is like coffee because its dark and bitter, but with a little half and half… it can be quite sweet. *see new technique, a simile [not one to disappoint], so smile.
