Ribs & Baked Potatoes
Søren Kierkegaard
He is sometimes called a “poet-philosopher” in honor of both his passion and his highly literary experiments in style and form.
I found this to be quite interesting… I never heard of the guy but, Søren Kierkegaard, has quite an arsenal of books that seem to poke my curiousity about his writings…
Ethics are the social rules that govern how a person ought to act. Ethics are not always in opposition to aesthetics, but they must take precedence when the two conflict. The aesthetic life must be subordinated to the ethical life, as the ethical life is based on a consistent, coherent set of rules established for the good of society. A person can still experience pleasure while living the ethical life. The ethical life serves the purpose of allowing diverse people to coexist in harmony and causes individuals to act for the good of society. The ethical person considers the effect his or her actions will have on others and gives more weight to promoting social welfare than to achieving personal gain. The ethical life also affords pleasures that the aesthetic does not. Aesthetics steers one away from consistency, since repetition can lead to boredom. An ethical person doesn’t simply enjoy things because they’re novel but makes ethical choices because those choices evoke a higher set of principles. Kierkegaard uses marriage as an example of an ethical life choice. In marriage, the excitement of passion can quickly fade, leading to boredom and a diminishing of aesthetic pleasure. However, by consistently acting for the good of one’s spouse, one learns that there are enjoyments beyond excitement. Still, the ethical life does little to nurture one’s spiritual self. The ethical life diverts one from self-exploration since it requires an individual to follow a set of socially accepted norms and regulations.
Ahh yes…
Through my readings on blogs I find that there are several people that write about being in love, being out of love, their likes and dislikes, their daily routines, their ups and downs, personal expiriences, movie reviews, general information about something… etc… I forgot my point… I ‘ll let you make one if you’d like…
My point was that… some people hate the fact that other people write what they write… señores… dejen esa gente tranquila… esta es su forma de desahogo… ya sea con una foto, escrituras del amor, noticias, su vida personal, un chisme… right? let them be… I know people don’t read my blog becasue I choose to write in english for the most part… but I read theirs no matter what they write in… I may not comment on it, but I’m a reader.
With that being said… I’m off today! and tomorrow, and Thursday and Friday!! I’m back to working every other week for the next few days… I really needed time to rest and take it easy… I was also offered my old job back so I have some thinking to do… Big meeting on Thursday… Vamos a ver que dicen… I almost forgot to mention that I’m letting my hair grow. I’d like to see how long i can let it grow before it starts to bother me to the point that I need to go to the other extreme of not having any at all…
Habbits or Routines?
Ever see yourself in a routine that all of a sudden becomes a habbit? Reading a blog, writing on a blog, eating a certain food, wearing the same t-shirt, pants etc…, going to the store to purchase the same thing over and over, having a certain sleeping pattern, shaving on a specific day…en fin creo que todo es un ciclo que tiene su final.

Creaturas de la noche. Sera verdad que las personas que salen de noche no tienen luz en su alma?
I have an announcement to make…
I lowered my cholesterol.
Thank You
Reflecting
Bueno… ya llevo 6 páginas para mi próxima carta de amor. Seis paginas que muy pronto podrán llegar a ser 12. Pero que va… ya contiene mucha papa para estar escribiendo tanto… or maybe not… maybe I should keep on writing. Afterall, la carta esta nitida… If I may say so myself…. Sin embargo al fin de este post escribire otra pagina…
These last few days I’ve been taking everything that has happened within the last 4 months, analizing, thinking, and appreciating all of it. Everything from my career, to moving out, to my family, to my significant other and her family, to having food in the fridge, to having enough money for tolls, to having tooth picks, to being able to wake up and not have a headache! Those two weeks I had the flu were horrible… I swear… So yeah… being able to sit back and reflect on life in general has been great.
I am off to visit my moms… hopefully she’s feeling better bc she is seriously stressing my sisters view on life and pretty much making my sisters decisions for her. Not cool… but like all mothers I suppose, the last thing you want to see is your child heading in the wrong direction… pero nah… asi es la vida…
Avísame
I’ve been feeling a bit out of it lately because the person I want to be with the most can’t be with me. Over the last 9 months I’ve been learning to love for the first time ever. Todo es un sacrificio en esta vida… Sobre todo tengo que poner confianza en la persona en cual yo mas quiero. I’ve learned this through her. The moments I do see her and the moments I am with her, I am completely nostalgic about being with her and love every second. Aunque quisiera decirle y expresar mentalmente, emocionalmente, y physicamente como y cuanto la quiero… pero a su petícion, solo le puedo dar tiempo y espacio mientras nos queremos sin vernos.
In this nostalgic state of mind that I find myself in, I spend most of my time listening to Alejandro Fernandez… The one albulm that seems to be on my cd player the most is Mi Verdad and the song that I listen to the most is, Avísame…
Avísame, cuando decidas combidarme de tu tiempo, cuando te llegue la nostalgia muy adentro y tengas ganas de mirarme todavía.
Avísame, que aquí me tienes esperando tu regreso, ya me hacen falta tus caricias y tus besos, y ese calor que da tu cuerpo, vida mía.
Avísame para que adorne los caminos donde pasas, Para que ponga muchas flores en la casa, para decirle a la luna que vas a venir.
Avísame, habrá en la mesa dos botellas de buen vino, Para brindar cuando tú estés aquí conmigo. Toda la noche completa nomás para mi.
No Way Jose!
I’m back to working nights & I’m getting tired switching back and fourth already! However if I am going to work days, I’ll be working 100 times more then I work nights. Working nights is a walk in the park compared to the day shift. So I don’t know… As much as I prefer working a morning shift to live a normal life, I need to seriously consider the work load… or get another job… something that I don’t see happening anytime soon if you know what I mean.
Other then that, it’s cold as hell outside, I have food in my fridge, I’m getting over a flu like fever that lasted 2 weeks, a warm apartment, gas in the car, pocket change, and free internet… I couldn’t be happier… actually I could be but no one’s paying attention to me anyway…
Pull Ups…
Me duele tó!
Volvio Juanita!
My mom is back from DR! I couldn’t expect anything less from my little sister and not telling me that my mom was coming back…
Sooo… I stopped by for some food, arroz con guandules. After all, I really can’t cook for myself other then baked potatoes and even that takes two hours… After that I came home and knocked out for 4 hours… nice huh… I think I may go into work @ 2am tho… Ah yes! speaking of work… I asked to be moved to the morning shift permanently today… I’ll keep you posted on the reply… asking never hurts… then again, if I am moved to days permanently, attending school during summer becomes a bit more difficult… especially morning classes… arrrggg… un lio…
Que mas le cuento? I have to wash my car, gotta go food shopping again, gotta order flowers for next Tuesday, gotta get a hair cut, gotta get my taxes done, gotta gotta gotta… anyone who reads this in time and wants to be included in my taxes, please let me know asap… I also gotta get a TV! I haven’t had my ownTV for about a year now. Not that I don’t watch TV but after sitting in front of 6 TV’s for 40 hours a week, I got tired of them… fast! The one thing I did enjoy however were the Yankee games… I’d like to go on vacation next month. a nice four day weekend trip to Miami or DR sounds just about right to me… once I get word on my request for days I’ll plan that out.
y nah… that’s all folks!
I’m Lazy…
I’ve been lazy… I am working on a post for Blogs Dominicanos with the list of all the bloggers that attended (thanks to Teacher Yorch) and their blogs but I’ve been either too lazy, tired, or busy to finish it… sorry guys… I’ll have it up sooner or later. Meanwhile, here is the email of attendees without the logos…
Alicia de Bit of Rubbish & yo hemos compilado esta lista de los participantes del Coro Blog V2.0.
Si faltan personas es simplemente porque no firmaron la lista. Cualquier cosa me dejan saber.Teacher Yorch

BAMM!!
Two hours for my baked potatoes! Now I know…
No no… En Serio!
So my question is… What is the minimum amount of hours your body needs to rest? Is it anywhere between 4-6 hours? That’s what my guess is… Perhaps with a long weekend of sleep you’ll be able to recooperate mentally and physically. Either way I’m sure that it all depends on your body. Once I get used a sleeping pattern I pretty much wake up at the same time all the time with or without an alarm… That precious alarm… what would I do without it? hmm… working 10 hour days instead of 12 and having the evenings off is pretty nice. I’m living somewhat of a normal life. The thought of living a normal life is driving me torwards getting a 9-5 in the city. Everything seems to line up with the idea with the exception of my income… I’m no longer living at home and I have serious bills to take care of for the next year or two.
So with that being said… I need to focus on a few other things. For some reason I’m never happy with the things I have… I always want more… sleep, time, friends, family, work, food, money, freedom, power… the list can go on and on… but for now I have my own place, a job, a beemer, and food in the fridge… I am seriously doing better then I thought I would be doing… To be able to take a step back and acknowledge what I’ve accomplished on my own is like… woah… Am I really there? I honestly don’t know what to do, where to go, or what to be like. I continue to be as humble as I possibly can. I simply go to work, come home, eat and call it a day… Weekends are all wierd… My parents aren’t home so it’s not like I can go home to visit for the weekend, my wifey is too busy with her family and school so I am giving her space and time to take care of her business… my little sister continues to carry on with her Paris Hilton lifestyle, we don’t even say hi if we are in the house at the same time… she hates me but i could care less… and that just about sums up my life for now… I have nothing else to think of or anything else to worry about. Soo I’m going to scramble things up and make it a bit more interesting for myself… I need to get mentally prepaired for the summer time if I decide to stay at Cadbury. School seems to be one of my top priorities so I’ll have to decide how many classes to take and where they will fit into my schedule… If I work 6pm-6am I’ll have to fit classes in the morning… This means I’ll be sitting in class for a few hours and perhaps sleeping in between school and work/work and school… sounds kinda rough… It can’t be that bad… We’ll see… I’m going to continue to refresh my calc, circiut analysis, physics, and other boring material.
Ouch.. this reminds me, I have a meeting tomorrow in the city! I almost forgot… So this means I have to head into thecity after work… I hope I don’t hit traffic. Traffic is horrible coming into the city, especially at 5 in the afternoon. One last thought… Febreeze smells good! I like the medows and rain as well as the citrus and light cents. It keeps my place smelling so fresh and so clean clean…
Baked Potatoes Anyone?
Ahora me encuentro buscandole el golpe al orno. These baked potatoes aren’t cooking in a half hour, an hour, or even an hour and a half… getting used to this kitchen is making me eat my potatoes half cooked all the time… I need to focus on this little problem… The shrimp and the mixed veggies are always just right tho… so I am fortunate enough to be eating them just the way I like.
