Died

So today I was at work and after a team meeting I got into my car to go to my next spot. I get into my car and try to start it. Guess what? It didn't. I thought maybe because it was cold that it didn't work. So I wait and I try again. It still won't start.

I don't have Triple A but thank goodness I have coverage under my insurance. They were pretty quick. It took them 30 minutes to come over and jump start it. Turns out I needed a new battery.

He told me to go to Pep Boys to get a new one and that's what I did.

Thank goodness this didn't happen while I was driving or else I could've gotten into an accident. Whew!

Maybe it is time for that new car.

What's Playing

These songs have been on repeat on my ipod recently. Enjoy.

Flying

Yesterday I had a dream that I was flying and of all places it was over Disneyland. I felt happy and it almost felt like it was real.

I looked online as to what it could mean and here's what I found:

Many of us have had them: dreams of soaring high in the sky; flying to the stars. And many of us have had these: dreams of falling from some great height fearful and panicked. What do flying and falling dreams symbolize? In waking life we are limited--we cannot take to the skies like Superman. Therefore, flying dreams can be symbolic of liberation from limits or 'rising above' a situation.

Flying dreamers are usually flying high in the sky--the sky being a symbol of spirituality. So these dreams may symbolize an expansion in spiritual awareness and leave the dreamer with feelings of empowerment, hope, peace, and exhilaration. Sometimes dreamers report meetings with angels or spirit guides while flying. Keep in mind that this angel or guide may be you in disguise--you as your Higher Self--the Self which has more wisdom and knowledge about you than anyone else. Whether the angel is you yourself or an actual angel, pay careful attention to dreams of this nature--they are powerful dreams potent with spirituality.

Now I wonder what Disneyland means in my dreams.

Saved

This afternoon at work after lunch we hear all this commotion coming towards the elevator. It ended up that two people were stuck in the elevator on our floor at work. My co-worker Tony was shoving notebooks in the door so that there was some air to flow inside the elevator as the two were saying that it started getting warm.

My boss came up with an idea to find something to open the door such as crow bar. However at the American Heart Association we don't have a crow bar ready. Go figure.

At the entrance of the elevator we have a red dress display with mannequins. Claudia said less remove the mannequins as there is a metal rod that is holding them up. So we lift up two of the mannequins. She handed one of them to me and the arms fell off. hahaha.

Anyhow Tony and Claudia used the two metal rods to open the door and the two were freed.

Thank goodness they were able to pry open the elevator door. I couldn't imagine being stuck in the elevator. I'm sure I would've gotten claustrophobic in there.

Here's two Superman Tony and Superwoman Claudia for freeing the two that were stuck in the elevator.

Dedicated to You

Oldies Remixed

I love these remixes. Now to find them so I can put them on my running music list. Enjoy.

The Deed is Done

Boy, am I glad it's over. I completed the Las Vegas Marathon yesterday in 5:48:44

Not exactly the time I was hoping for but hey I finished and besides it knocked off 45 minutes from my last marathon.

We had perfect conditions but I just pooped out at mile 20. My body couldn't run any more so I walked the last 6 miles. In addition I had a slight cold.

Third marathon complete. Could there be a fourth? Maybe - the Rock n Roll Marathon San Diego in June.

Been a While

It's been a while since I've posted. Things have gotten busy and well I've been lazy. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and got stuffed. (All the nasty minds - tsk! tsk!)

I've seen Spring Awakening, saw the Vanity Fair exhibit at LACMA and also watched Milk and I recommend all of you to go to all three. It's all worth going to.

This Sunday is my marathon in Las Vegas. All the hard work in training will hopefully pay off.

Anyhow, I need to shower as I ran 5 miles. I will blog more later.

Work!!!

That's all I have to say. WORK!

Repeal Prop 8!

I just signed a pledge to repeal Prop 8 and I thought you might be interested in joining me and over 100,000 Courage Campaign members across California.

We have to come together right now to say that we refuse to accept a California where discrimination is enshrined in our state constitution.

Please sign the "Repeal Prop 8" pledge now and forward this to your friends as soon as possible:

Thanks!

30th Birthday - Part 2

Here are pictures from my Birthday Party that happened on Sunday, October 26th. Thank you to everyone who came out. Turning Dirty 30 wasn't that bad after all. Also thank you to Andrew for "filling in" and taking all these photos.

Well Put

It's Not Over

Proposition 8 as of right now seems like it will pass. Those who were in favor thought that once this passed it will be enough said about same-sex marriage here in California.

Unfortunately for them it is not. This is the new Civil Rights Movement and we will do everything we can to make sure that everyone is treated fairly. We are just going to get stronger and louder.

I am asking all of you to do the following:

Reopen prop 8 for CA, please visit and sign: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/seg5130/petition.html

Call (916) 657-2166 and tell the Secretary of State they MUST count ALL the ballots!! (PLEASE HELP!!)

Let's not let hatred, bigotry and discrimination against a group of people stand or even be put into our constitution.

Please support me and many of my friends who voted and were in support on No on 8. Let's continue the fight!!!

Our Next President

Change is Finally Here!

Election Day!

Today is a very important day in American History as we choose a new president. In addtion in California many propositions are on the ballot including Prop 8 which eliminates the right for same sex couples to marry.

Long lines are expected - which is what I came upon this morning. I had to wait an hour and a half to vote but I'm glad I did. Make your voice heard - Go out and Vote.

P.S. Vote No on Hate and Vote NO on 8.

Halloween

I spent Halloween with friends at Carnival in West Hollywood. It was a wild night with so many people walking the streets on Santa Monica Blvd. I was dressed as Diego from Go Diego Go - a friend of Dora the Explorer. I was recognized by the little ones especially this little girl who was dressed as a fairy was screaming to her mom - Mama, mama - It's Diego!!!

My final destination of the night was Java Detour where I met up with Brian, et. al. Below are some photos from the night. Enjoy!

Protestors

Tonight I went out to dinner with Trevor, Andrew, and Reginald. We went to one of the restaurants in West Hollywood on Santa Monica Blvd. I can't remember the name it was some frenchie type name so I can't recall.

Anyhow, we were having a great conversation and we noticed a bunch of No on 8 supporters gathering on a corner to promote No on 8. It was great until there were Yes on 8 supporters driving by in a couple vans.

Well one of the funniest things I heard while they were chanting No on 8 came from a group at a neighboring restaurant yelling "No on Straight - No on 8" in unison with the No on 8 chants. This cracked me up.

Straight, Gay, or whatever you may be discriminating against a group of people is unfair. Make sure to vote No on 8 on Tuesday.
