An afternoon with my cousin and his son

July 2nd, 2008 · 1,572 Comments

Slowly I am catching up with stuff I needed to post for a while, so this is the beginning of my attempt,

I spent this afternoon in June with my cousin, Juanito, and his son Devin.  Juanito asked me to take some fun photos of them so I grabbed my camera and went to the Milwaukee lakefront.  It was a beautiful day and I got some good shots.  Click on the photo for the full gallery.My Cousin\'s family on the lakefront

Trivia

July 1st, 2008 · 56 Comments

So I played trivia last night with my long lost brother, Emiliano, and his sister Veronica and we won!  Our team name is called the “brew crew.”  We won a $20 gift certificate to the cubbie bear in wrigleyville, so I think I might have to go back there to drink up sometime later.  FYI, the first Airbud sequel featured football as the main sport, it was aptly titled, Airbud: the Golden Reciever!  Oh and the first Lollapalooza was in 1991, though there were some on our team that thought otherwise! haha.

When I got home I got to play rockband with Tracy and her sister, Laura,  who were over to talk about painting my place.  You see I hired Laura to help paint my apartment since she is a teacher and is off for the summer and is looking to do some extra work.  So we played RB for a while until it started getting too late. 

Rockband and Trivia, it was a good night!

Not my photos yet!

June 28th, 2008 · 3 Comments

So I just sent out an email out to my friends and family abotut this site!  So I do plan on making it more personal and uploading the latest content.  I do tend to get busy at work and when I get home, the last thing I want to do is sit at a computer and work some more, so it may take a few days for stuff to get put Ready to kick ass and take namesup here.  Anyway there is one thing that I would like to point out and that is the photos on this website are not yet mine but part of the template that I used to create this site.  I will be changing that soon, so the photo of the urban landscape, dog, and pier will change to my own photos.  Also most of my posts will include photos I have taken or friend’s photos.  I just wanted to make that clear :)

In that spirit, i will add a stylized photo I took of my good friend and ex-roomate, Joe.
