El fuego y la tierra.

In all seriousness, this personal blog is dedicated to improving [my] English Language Art skills. Proudly Mexican-American. Growing up, the Democratic party stood up for me. Republicans can learn loyalty.

Weird experiences shape who you are. Reality bends— it can always come at you quick. Home (now). Avoiding the color red. Chinese "mainlanders" are catching my eye.

Saw Yancy R. on the bus a couple months ago. Actually really strange. He was wearing a weird outfit (meant for children). Didn't want to say anything. [Imagine], he starts being shy & gets offended.

The lights are flickering. Skipped morning, woke up at 12:00 (noon). Wearing the same clothes as yesterday. Getting up to grill enchiladas de mole. Will go [back] to bed afterwards. Mercy House is <a> conspiracy. **** ******* is the backbone of society.

Passport photos being taken today. I'm hoping they come out alright. Wearing a dark grey sweater w/ black t-shirt. Asked to sit on a stool. Photographer is kind. Might go back again in a couple weeks for follow-up. Using it for my LinkedIn profile.

Somebody at the gym is intensely fixated on me. Funnily enough, its actually not funny. [My] life is weird/[unexpected] enough as it is—strangers seeing you again & again in public is alright, but its hard to leave & let go.

Reminder: Quit smoking tobacco. Late for today's therapy meeting. I feel lightheaded & dehydrated.

Silence is alarming.

Strength training @planetfitness. Picking up my heart rate/working on my breathing. Will be adding a jump rope into my routine. 60 minutes. (01/24/2016)

Several trips to the grocery store (yesterday). Bought some rotisserie chicken, pasta noodles, & vegetables meant for chicken noodle soup. Around 2 lbs of ground beef, huevos, y tomato bouillon for sopa de albondigas (tomorrow). Apple juice for rehydration.
