Triple xxx!

Day 3 of my trip was a bit exhausting. I love my family and appreciate advice but at times is too much.

21 question:

Why are you divorced?
Who is the guy in the picture?
Are you guys serious?
He looks like he is not sincere.
He should do this or that.
He better treat you like this or like that.
Do you want kids? Why not? You should have kids you're getting old.
Why do you live in CT?
What are you doing with you're life?

Why so many questions? I don't understand. I feel like I'm at the fair and I have had ten hotdogs. Like I've been on on a spinning ride forever. And as soon as I get up my world is up side down. Then I speak to my mother whom only begins to cry; and then she is shocked because I'm divorced. After crying babies a beer and glass of wine I was Done.

Should I have to be a certain person to be excepted.

After a few hours of torture I finally got away with my cousins. We had a couple of drinks and talked about all the questions. It seems to be the consensus that we have all been in the fire. We shave all be tortured. Now why is that necessary? The question that will never be answered.

Well that's family for you and we all have one.

Day two San Joe

From San Francisco I was dropped off to San Jose. I arrived at my cousins house in time to have some tea with my aunt and do what we do. We began by talking about what we call "chismes", also known as gossip. We laughed and talked some more. The next morning I had a Mexican breakfast beans and carne con chile. Then we walked to pick up my niece from school. See this important to me because the east side of San Jose is where I grew up. Walking there it almost felt like home. Lester Shields elementary now was divided into two academies and Pala middle school is now Escuela Popular. Things have change as have I. This place brought great memories and many that I wish I did not remember. It reminded me that I'm still not from there or from here. All I know is that it is a page from my past.

San Francisco Trust

I arrive to San Francisco and I'm extremely excited. I can almost smell the fresh air as I'm walking to baggage claim. I can see the light and to my amazement my bag was right there. I picked it up and walked outside to wait for my friend Chris to pick me up. As I wait this woman pulls over and asked if had come from New York. I said yes. She asked if there were people still waiting for their lugged. Since she had a baby in the bag seat I offered to look, but I did not see anyone. What happened next I could not believe. She asked if I could watch her baby and cat so she could look for the person. I couldn't say no. There I am almost in the car watching this baby who cad the curliest hair I had seen. She looked like was going to cry so I began to make funny faces. She loved it. It must have been about two minuets max but it felt like an eternity. I almost thought it was a prank or I was in some show and someone would come out and say they were just testing my integrity. Unfortunately it was not like that. She came back thanked me and drove off.

In the end I'm glad that there are still people that trust. Maybe we are not all to damaged. If only we could all be that way.

Miles Away

Made it to the airport and after a long walk found my gate. I decided to have a coffee and muffin. I sat in a chair people watching. There was a gorgeous family sitting near me. There kids were so well dressed and the wife looked amazing in her long army green coat. Finally after a while we began to board. I was zone 3 which meant more waiting. After standing line for a about five minutes a lady in a fur vest asked me my zone. I told her zone 3 she began nagging about the wait. I just smiled and listened. As we started to move I allowed her to cut in front of me. We were in the hall when they asked us to check our bags due to no room in the cabin. I did not fuss because I knew my bag was almost to big for a carry on. Now this lady in front of me was furious. Started complaining and was in disbelief as to why they would do this to her. She has to give it up anyways. Ugh, at this time I just wanted my seat. It crossed my mind that she could be sitting next to me and really did not want that. Thankfully I sat next to a man who was very pleasant. We did not talk much and I slept the whole way to California.

I guess there are people who can adjust to change and others whom will suffer because the choose to.

Morning Dec 18, 2012

Well I have not been on here for a while. It seems that school, work life just takes over. It's 4:41am and I'm on my way to JFK airport to visit my family. My goal on this trip is to have fun and enjoy the ones I love. I do expect a lot of food and alcohol consumption. On top of maybe some drama. My second goal is to document and write of my adventure. Hope you have a blast reading. As I will have fun writing.p

It's raining cats and dogs this morning.
