Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
The waking up is the hardest part
You roll outta bed and down on your knees
And for the moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering was he really here?
Is he standing in my room?
No he's not, 'cause he's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....
When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The giving up is the hardest part
He takes you in with your crying eyes
Then all at once you have to say goodbye
Wondering could you stay my love?
Will you wake up by my side?
No he can't, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....
Oooooooooohhhhhhhhh
Now do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Baby won't you get them if i did?
No you won't, 'cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....
When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part

Life changing experience.. or sometin
Weekend 15/16 – Written Sunday night
So yet again it’s a Saturday and I’m not doing much. Priscilla called me around 12pm and I was still sleeping; she asked me to go have brunch with her and I, without knowledge of what time it was, told her “yeah let’s go at 3” and she goes “oh my god, at three!? I’m starving!”. So I was like… ok it must be early in the morning, lol. We settled for
Well, I went to brunch with Priscilla and met up with JFo there, she didn’t have a place to sit so I offered her a spot in our table. I wasn’t very hungry so I had two fried eggs and two toasts with grape juice. I guess that opened up my appetite and then I had a sandwich, bacon egg and cheese in a toasted bagel. And yes, more grape juice, I will be pissing my life off today by going to the bathroom so much.
I got a very interesting message today on a certain website. I usually don’t check this site as the quality of perverted/old men is at a high rate but for some reason I decided to login today. This very cute guy, gray/blue eyes, light thin hair and gorgeous smile messaged me. It says in his profile that he is from
So I thought about it for I guess an hour or so, I told him I would’ve loved to meet with him but that I was working so it wasn’t possible for me to meet him. Luckily the guy is not an asshole and actually replied to that message which I was very well surprised. I think I was the asshole when I said to him “maybe” I can figure something out and go to the city tomorrow Monday afternoon. I say I’m an asshole because this is the way I thought about it: I would definitely like to meet this guy, but I’m working. I have class 9-11 and 1-3, and work 4-7 plus I had to hang up those flyers for my program Tuesday night. I can however pull some strings and get paid back for some favors a couple people owe me at work and they can cover Monday afternoon at work for me. I could catch up after I get back from the city instead of posting the flyers in the afternoon I will do that at night when I get back from NYC. So I said, well since I’m such a picky asshole I will talk to this guy and see if he’s not an asshole like me, I mean he has been nice enough to contact me and also answer my message even though I told him I can’t go to the city at all. Turns out the guy was so nice to me, I really liked his personality. Even though it does sound a little bit shady just because it’s all on the internet and you can’t really tell for sure… but anyway I said ok, let’s meet on Monday around
He is staying at the hotel Royalton on 44 street, I think I know where the hotel is because I looked it up on their website and I remember seeing that entrance. Shouldn’t have a problem anyway because I looked it up on mapquest and got the directions from Grand Central right away.
My brother messaged me just a little bit ago asking me about the checks they are making for my surgery. He is so stupid, both invoices say “make checks payable to”. I wish I could share my brain with him because sometimes I think that he lacks part of his, but I love him to death ehehehehe. I wouldn’t mind sharing my mind with him, and of course he is more knowledgeable in certain areas that I’m not so good at so I wouldn’t mind taking a piece of his! Tonight also the Mana MTV Unplugged 1999 album finished downloading. This is a great album with great music in it. It really reminds me when my dad bought his SUV because it had a CD player in it, which I might add that at the time was very, and I repeat very cutting edge, and we used to listen to this album over and over while riding along the coast and on the way to our mountain house.
So I was able to get Justin to cover for me at work, he said it’s no problem at all. I will be going to class 9-11 then 1-3, so right after that I will be taking the train to the city and should be getting to Grand Central around 5:10pm, then I will just walk to the hotel which is only about 3-4 blocks away. When I get back it should be before
Monday 17/18 – Written Wednesday
Today I don’t even know where to start. It’s now
Monday morning the wind was blowing on my window pretty hard so I actually woke up before my alarm went off. I showered and went to Asian religions class where we talked about Confucius and his views on filial piety and education/learning. I think I can somehow identify myself with him, I was reading most of the analects and he has really high moral standards and strong ethics. We share the same principles I guess. After that I stayed in my room and went to eat until my
I ended up getting to Grand Central around
I found the hotel right away. Looked fancy from the outside, the butler opened the door for me and then two huge doors automatically opened for me. Nifty! The hotel was dark, it didn’t have a lot of light in it so my eyes were getting used to the lack of light. I couldn’t see people’s faces too well so of course that made me look very stupid and nervous. Right next to the entrance was a small sitting area where he was supposed to be waiting for me. There was only a couple business men sitting there so I went and sat opposite to them, even though I couldn’t see their faces very well I knew that it wasn’t him as they were all suited up and talking about… well business I guess. I unzipped my coat and took out my cell to call him. I got his voicemail so I guess he had no service inside the hotel. I decided to just stay there for a little while and see if he called me back once he sees the missed call. After all, I thought to myself, I never actually called/emailed him to confirm that I was coming. It was all Sunday, I think, when I said that yes I was coming on Monday but I never fully confirmed. Luckily this didn’t come back to haunt me, because he ringed me just a few minutes after and said he was just getting out of the shower and that he apologizes. How cute! He was coming down in a couple minutes which started getting me nervous again, and of course keep reminding myself: always remember to smile, don’t curse and don’t be too sarcastic at first. But what if he doesn’t like me, what if he doesn’t think I’m cute or I look different in pictures. Should my jacket by zipped all the way up or halfway? If it’s all the way up he will think that I’m cold and won’t ask to take my coat, but if it’s halfway down then it looks bad. Oh geez Luis don’t be so picky. It’s the battle between my mind and myself again, haha.
He came down, by then my eyes were already adjusted to the lack of light. My mouth dropped, he was absolutely gorgeous. I had to literally contain myself, I gave him a good hand shake and said something really stupid like “how are you?” or “very nice to meet you”. Luckily I wasn’t so nervous to say “whats up” or something my mother hasn’t taught me for when you meet new people! Well, even in the lack of light you could tell he had beautiful blue yes, makes my legs tremble. He had an European accent which I absolutely love, and his hair was light and thin. He smiled, what a keeper! A ten out of ten. Five stars. I should’ve kidnapped him, make him mine forever! I was going to do exactly that: kidnap him and make him mine, however I didn’t actually think beyond that… oh well. What is really nice is that from that moment I knew that he was such a nice guy, so gentle and thoughtful. Such a caring personality. Why can’t the world be full of people like him…
So Antti, very European name, invited me to a drink at the bar or to go up to the hotel room. We opted for the latest. I knew this wasn’t just going to be sex, I would like to talk to him first and get a better feeling of what his personality is like, get to know him better. I don’t regret it at all. We went up to his room on the eighth floor and started talking. He was such a gentleman; he took my coat and offered me something to drink. At this point I was hoping the lub wouldn’t fall off the coat, that would be so embarrassing. We shared pink lemonade Snapple. We talked for what seemed to be about an hour or so I guess. God I liked him so much, I wanted to kiss him so badly but I couldn’t be so obvious. I knew it wasn’t just a feeling of how hot he was, because he was very good looking, but it had more to do with a combination of that and the way he was, his personality and the way he expressed himself to me. It’s hard to find guys like him and honestly I don’t know if I will be lucky enough to meet two of him in one lifetime. Of course I was being all shy and wanted to rub his knee with my hand or his back and shoulders, but I didn’t, I’m too shy sometimes. I was being all shy and stayed well put while we talked. Sometimes I felt I was just going to jump at him while he was talking and kiss him. The more we talked the more I liked him. In several occasions he padded my shoulder or rubbed my knee. Ok, I’m not going to say that it made me hard but it definitely had a good effect on me, hehehe.
We talked about many things and after a while I, with what I think wasn’t controlling myself, just put my arm across his back and leaned over to kiss him. Wow, if I were able to express my feeling better in paper I could write a book on this. We kissed and moved to the bed. He was so romantic, which I love, so caring, so everything at the same time. What a great guy. We had great sex which I am of course, not going into detail. And then the test came up! Will he want me to leave right away or will he want me to stay for a bit longer. Of course he didn’t want me to leave, and neither did I. We laid there after sex, I surely fell asleep for a couple of minutes and so did he. What a perfect moment. We continued talking for a while and one of the things I joked about was how many guys he slept with in NY already. He said I was the first one in NY and of course I told him he was lying but I knew he wasn’t. It was something in his eyes that told me. Such a genuine guy, how privileged was I. As shy as I am, I think if I would’ve seen him at a club I would’ve asked him to dance with me.
We took a shower together which was really nice; the hotel had a good bathroom. We dressed and I asked him to come out for a bite with me. I took him to the dinner on 46 street, but it was closed so we went to a pizza restaurant close by. My mom always said that if I was out on a date with a girl (of course she didn’t know I was gay back then), if the girl had no matters or didn’t know how to hold a knife and fork I had two options. One, I could dump her or two, I could teach her manners so that she didn’t had to break her face when we all went out for dinner together. Of course, hypothethically speaking my mom always said she will love whoever I love and she will be happy as long as I’m happy. I’m not sure that has been the case in the past. But Antti had manners, and he did know how to hold a knife and fork. If I were to present him to my mom and go out for dinner is a whole new story. But we had dinner and we literally closed down the restaurant. He didn’t let me pay; he took the check away from me and wouldn’t let me see it. We then walked to Grand Central, he has never seen it before so I thought I could take him inside and show him the roof, etc. Of course, here I am thinking like a stupid retard: he’s European, he’s seen better places and the trains are much better in
While I was at Grand Central I got a call from Elizabeth, volleyball coach. I didn’t pick up as it was my last minutes with Antti, but I got a voicemail. They asked me if I could attend
I ended up going to bed around
So I got to the city around 11something, and I had breakfast with Priscilla. I then went to the hotel where I met Antti and he was having breakfast at the hotel lobby. So we sat and talked while he was having breakfast. He offered me breakfast but I had just eaten two bagels so I just had a glass of orange juice. We headed out and first went to International Center of Photography. Some of the exhibitions were really good, but let’s be honest: the best exhibition in there was Antti. He should’ve been a photograph in every corner. We also walked in the public library and took some photos at Bryant park. The library was really nice, I’ve never been in it and I liked it very much. Unfortunately, my legs were hurting from volleyball so I wasn’t very fond of the stairs. And let me tell you, this library had plenty of stairs. We also went to Chelsea and we walked all the way uptown looking for places to visit, but we actually just spend the whole time walking and talking cause we couldn’t find any of the so called museums on every corner. I had such a good time with him, he is such a good guy. He is the type of guy I would like to be involved in a relationship with. Maybe one day I will get lucky and the Gods will throw the dices in my favor! Oh if only…
We sat at
We got to Grand Central on time, and I presented him to Priscilla. I hugged and kissed him goodbye very quickly as I didn’t want to cry or be all sad. After all, all my feelings were of happiness with him, so he didn’t need to see me sad. A part of me wanted to simulate a scene of a romantic movie where you make out and the dramatic music plays. Another part of me knew I would be very lucky to ever see him again. He looked at me in the eye and said it was a pleasure for him to had meet me, and wished me a safe trip back home. I was stuttering and said something really embarrassing like “yeah you too”. I kissed him in both cheeks and against my will I parted, walking to towards the train and closing my eyes with that last view of those gorgeous eyes. Today that memory sits in my mind at a very special place and will not be forgotten easily.
So I got on the train just in time as it was leaving. Priscilla made some comments about Antti. She has never liked anybody I’ve been with, and well with JohnPaul she had too much. Priscilla said: “I think he is the first guy I actually like very much and I can tell you two were into each other; I could see it in his eyes and yours as well. He is your type for sure”. What a great friend Priscilla is. I love her to death and even though I’m such an ass to her sometimes she knows I love her and I would do anything in the world for her.
We got back and headed for dinner, on the train I wouldn’t stop talking about how nice Antti was and bitching about life. After dinner I headed over to my program and then to my staff meeting. Here I lay, 1:30am and I have to wake up at
Wednesday, July 18, 2007
One normal day
8:15am:
The alarm clock goes off, I snooze it.
8:20am:
The alarm clock went off again, so I snooze it, but this time I get up because I don't want to be late for work. I push the comforter away from me, growning because I don't want to get up. It's the feeling I have every morning when before I take a shower, which is why the first thing I do when I wake up is take a shower, it totally wakes me up. I don't believe in that caffeine thing.
8:30am:
Well, I took a shower and all that other cool stuff. When I get out of the bathroom, I notice on my desk some papers I had to sign and drop off at work. So I go like shit, I forgot about that. So I try to get dressed, check my emails and prepare breakfast before 8:55 so I can drop off the papers (the office opens at 9am), and still be on time for work. Which I actually am very good at compared to everyone else. I am always there at 9am sharp, and I am almost every time the first one there. Shit, even the supervisors get there at 9:15 lol.
8:51am:
I look at the clock, 8:51am. Fuck me! I will be late for work, quick, run! So I make my breakfast faster than Lindsey Lohan getting down on a penis, right? And I put everything in my bag but then I forgot, the stupid picture. Ok everything out of the bag and on the table, take the picture rapidly.
8:56am:
I get to the office of Residence Life. It still hasn't opened. Oh who cares, no one will notice if I get to work 5minutes late. Whatever. So the director of ResLife gets there and opens the office. But not before I take my lovely picture of the office closed.
Next thing I know its like 9am already and I put the papers where they belong, everything lovely, no time for picture all that cool stuff.
9:00am:
So I am heading to the castle, and I stop for a picture. I love taking pictures of the castle, I have like a million of them, but I don't think I am in one of those pictures. I should take more pictures of me.
The office I am heading to, you can actually see. It's the one on the left on the 3rd floor where the 2 windows and the air conditioner are. My other job is the 3 windows on the top of the castle. The 2 small windows at the very very top is the attic. And that place is really scary. Specially at night, I've been there cause I have keys to up there, and trust me, it's not that cool. But I feel special, cause almost nobody has had the opportunity to be up there. Well, anyways carry on.
9:05am
I get on the elvator and press 3R, the 3rd floor but the right side of the elevator. The way the elevator works, is that it leads you to 2 parts of the castle. So it has 2 doors, one in the front one in the back.
9:07am
As expected, nobody is there yet. Completely empty. I am the first one there, horray mission accomplished!
So anyways, I sit down start munching on my breakfast and my supervisor gets there and hands me in some sheets I have to do some data clearing in the system.
But not to be confused, at the same time I work I am also eating my breakfast. I am smart. See I have the capability of doing two things at twice with no problem. Sometimes three things, sometimes four. But I limit myself. Well, here I show my breakfast being eaten, as my supervisor asks me "why the hell you taking pictures of everything", so I was like "shuttup bitch mind your own business" right? Well not really, but I told her I was doing a storyline of today's day and she gave me the look so I gave her some Cptn Crunch and sent her off her way. I love my supervisor, she is so cool.
12:00pm
Well, the morning is gone working on those 3 sheets, thats all I did for the whole morning. Of course, I failed to mention that between 9:15 and 9:30am a couple other co-workers joined me. And of course, the sign in at 9am. Lol. Only in Admissions....
So I head down to Residence Life, which is where I work from 12 to 2.
I am continuing where I left off the last day. And that is, data entry. I put in Application for Residency files in the computer. Which pretty much looks like this:
And well as expected, that is all I did from 12 to 2
2:00pm:
So me and other 2 RD's (Resident Directors) decide to go to 'The Pub' where you can buy food on campus, and it's pretty much the only place you can go during the summer here. I took this way:
I ordered myself a grilled chicken sandwhich with french fries and a Soda. And Orbit bubblegum, which is supposed to be sugar free. Like I care.
Well, after eating all my meal and chatting with the two RD's, I decide to take a picture of what once used to be my sandwhich.
2:30pm
I head back to Admissions, where I work until 5pm. There was nothing to do that was important, other than data clearing and telecounceling. So that's what I did all afternoon. In the middle of the afternoon I remembered that I had bought Orbit bubble gum and hadn't had any yet. So I ate a piece.
I look at the clock, but it's only 4:30pm, it's not time to go yet.
4:50pm
Well the supervisor said that we could go early.
So I open the drawer and put my paperwork back into my folder and all that stuff.
5:00pm
So around 5pm I head over to the Tenney Communication studio, because I have to pickup some equipment for a video I have to film. The computers there are really awesome, when I used to do video editing for my class, I used to do it in this computer so I took a picture of it:
It was nice there, because they have an amazing air conditioner because all the computers in there make the room hot and all that. Well anyways, I took the camera and tripod out, and took it to my room.
5:30pm:
I get to my room and put down the equipment. And that was very heavy, I might add. It sucks to carry the equipment by yourself.
Anyways, not one day goes by that I don't play my guitar, so I had to take a picture of that. At the time also the camera was yelling for new batteries. But I managed with the dying batteries to transfer the pictures to my computer, so at the end it was all a happy ending.

Daily Overview
It's what the horoscope said.
I miss the snow =(
