Archives for the month of: March, 2013

So today is Easter aka Jesus Zombie Day and I’m pretty sure my parents left me at home while they went to mass. I want to be celebrating like our fore fathers before us with alcohol and a chocolate covered orgy. But alas, I most likely will not be doing that tonight…but the day is still young.

 

So we all know about Jimmy by now, which is still following along the path I fear; however, there’s another guy named Morgan. Morgan and I met about two years ago over an online dating thing and we hung out once and that was it. We became Facebook friends but didn’t really talk much until recently. He’s been hitting on me (even while I was with Jimmy) and I kind of wasn’t stopping it. I liked the attention. It was nice to feel cute after being with Jimmy so long who never once did that. Problem is, I’m not at all attracted to Morgan. He’s okay looking, just not for me. He’s sweet, funny, and smart but I’m just not attracted to him. Yet we text almost everyday and randomly flirt just cause it makes me feel good. I’m an awful person.

 

So I have an unnatural obsession/fear (before this fad) with zombies. I’ve had zombie dreams since I was 7. So of course I had to watch The Walking Dead which I must say is pretty decent but no where near as good as people seem to think it is. The writing is sub par and it’s so cliche to make the character likable the same episode you kill them off. I just don’t buy some of it. Example: How did Meryl become ‘likable’ the episode he died? He had no new secrets revealed, no new character traits, nothing. Yet somehow cause he did one random act (which wasn’t that farfetched for his character) and then dies, he’s likable and missed. The show is mediocre television….yet I will be watching the new episode….

GAME OF THRONES COMES OUT TONIGHT. So in case you don’t know, I might be a slight fan of Game of Thrones. One of my biggest qualms with GoT are the male characters. They all seem like such one-dimensional characters while the women are all dynamic. Even if the girl is bad she has motives for it. Cersei does things the viewer might not agree with but she has her reasons and at least they’re more complicated than, “I must make my dead father proud.” or, “I must be king.” I’m excited for the new season. Hopefully by the end Ayra is fucking bitches up, we have a crippled knight, and mother fucking dragons.

So, lets begin with it is insanely hard to type with one hand (I do not mean this dirtily). So I apologize for any errors and if I’m rather short.

Last Sunday was the final day of Ultra weekend 1 and I of course was enthralled by it. Armin Van Buren was one of the final sets and I had him playing as I was using the restroom. I then heard him doing a remix of one of my favorite songs so I of course made a b-line for my room. I accidentally ran my chair into my door and slid out and landed on my feet. (This is why they say don’t run in the house). Both of my legs buckled (not before fracturing my right ankle and left knee) and I fell forward. I, stupidly, tried to catch myself with my arm and completely broke it. Both bones in my forearm aren’t connected. It feels fine now but on occasion if I move it, I can feel the bones moving separately. So, I was rushed to the ER where they hopped me on all kinds of morphine to do x-rays. I texted all of my friends, including Jimmy, to tell them what happened. They started telling me how they were locked out of our dorm room and SWAT teams were invading it, but we’ll get to that later. I gave my phone to my mom and she turned it off. When I got it back after the x-rays all my friends texted me back, including Jimmy. It was cute cause he called me and left me a message saying he’s sorry he missed my text and for me to call him if I need him. I of course called him. He sounded really upset but he was trying his best to make me laugh to feel better. It was really amazing. They sent me home all wrapped up with plans to see my orthopedic.

The next day I found out a guy within my old dorm room, where most of my friends still live, had set off the fire alarm with hopes of going on a killing spree. Luckily, he backed out of his plans and only killed himself. It was later during the day that I found out the guy who planned this mass killing was an ex roommate of mine. Literally minutes after I discovered it was him I was called by the FBI. They interviewed my friends and I claiming to hope to figure him out a little better. The scary part is, he hated my friends and I. So they could’ve been a stop of his. Weird part is the FBI called me the next day to see if I was receiving any “backlash” over Facebook and such. I took that as they thought people might blame me for this almost catastrophe. (If you wish to know more feel free to Google ‘UCF Tower 1 suicide’–I would rather not talk about it). I was so unnerved I called all my friends and I of course had to talk to Jimmy. He again did his best to distract me and make me laugh. After that we spoke everyday for about 3 hours for 4 days straight. I enjoyed it but I’m really scared we are falling on our old path of getting back together. The worst part is, I don’t seem to be stopping it.

So a drawback to being physically broken is I’m essentially bed bound. Luckily, this weekend is weekend 2 of ultra. Friday’s set kind of sucked (besides Tiesto) but oh my God at Saturday. I was in musical heaven all day. My friend is trying to convince me to go to Chicago for another electronic music festival but it’ll cost like $500 total so I don’t know if I can go but dear God do I want to. Today is the final day of ultra and it makes me very sad in the pants. All day will be the State of Trance tent so this day should send me through musical euphoria.

A few more weeks and I should be healed from these injuries and ready to fuck bitches and get money and by that I mean neither of those. Luckily having small bones means it doesn’t take much time for them to heal. It’s the little things.

So first let’s begin with: I did something I wasn’t supposed to. I texted he-who-shall-not-be-named and while that can be innocent enough, the text message I sent wasn’t. I texted him, “Jimjammers (a name I called him while we were dating), I miss talking to you on the phone :(“ Now, first let me justify myself. For starters I don’t want to be with him at the moment. I’m tired of his indecisive crap and ain’t nobody got time for that. The second thing is, I have an irrational fear of people getting bored of me or forgetting about me. So part of me doesn’t want Jimmy to forget I still care about him, I guess. We also talked randomly all week, on the book of Faces, and it made me miss him as my friend. We used to talk on the phone once a week for about four hours and it’s hard not having him to do that with.

 

On to more fun things. It is Ultra weekend. For those of you that don’t know what Ultra is, it’s an electronic music festival where the best DJs of the world get together and have a three day concert in Miami, FL. It’s glorious. I went last year with a few of my guy friends and it was hands down one of the greatest things I’ve ever done. We didn’t get to go this year because of poor planning; however, we won’t be making that mistake next year. Anywho, I’ve been watching the live feed over the interwebs and it is jizz in your pants worthy. So far I’ve loved Nicky Romero, Hardwell, Fatboy Slim, Knife Party, Kaskade, and Laid Back Luke’s set and I’m pretty sure Calvin Harris, Avicii, and Swedish House Mafia are on today. I’m gonna get my molly and rum and coke ready as I lay in bed naked playing Pokemon and enjoying the live feed.

 

This weekend is also St. Patty’s Day weekend. So, I felt bad not going out again this weekend (I was sick last weekend) so I went out Saturday night. I, of course, being my stupid self, forgot it was St. Patty’s Day and didn’t wear green. Luckily, I didn’t get pinched by anybody; however, some girl dressed like a leprechaun in an inappropriately short dress tried dancing with me and lifted her skirt up while we were dancing and I felt her underwear and I was very upset…Then this random old dude comes up to me and says, “Do you know Dave?” I stare at him blankly thinking, “You’re like 50, I highly doubt we know the same people.” He sees my face and responds, “Dave the Dwarf.” I say, “No.” and try to turn around but he starts saying, “He’s been in movies and commercials. He’s a famous dwarf.” I turn around saying no because he annoyed me and I didn’t care. I’ve had people my entire life tell me to be friends with someone because: they’re also short or they’re in a wheelchair as well or they have OI too. And I always say, “No.” I don’t see the need to make friends with someone under similar circumstances because I highly doubt we have anything in common. Anywho, on to more recap of my night. I was dancing with some guys I know and this random 6’3 dude comes and towers over me and stares down at me, smiling. I stare at him and can’t help but laugh at his smile and say, “What?” He doesn’t respond and just keeps staring at me. So I get a little weirded out and turn away. He then repositions himself so he’s standing in front of me again and looking down at me. He then says, “You know me.” amongst other things but I couldn’t hear them all because he refused to bend down and the music was loud. He just keeps mouthing ‘you know me’ and I say I don’t remember. He then gets angry and says to his friends, “This dude knows me but won’t say so.” Now, for starters lets be real here. I am pretty easy to remember. Be it the fact, that I’m half the size of a normal guy, be it the fact I’m sporting a rad purple wheelchair, or be it the fact that I’m freaking amazing; however, most people I meet aren’t. So I apologize if I can’t remember every damn person that enters my life. I probably knew this guy from high school and that was about 6 years ago. My bad. Anyways, so I have this habit of drunkenly talking to people on my way home from the bar. I met this random band who was apparently performing at one of the other local bars. I don’t remember much of that conversation except they claimed to play ‘all kinds of music’ and I said, “I highly doubt that.” And then they said they did covers of rock bands and country music and I said, “My point stands.” and I walked away. I then met this rather fat and jolly fellow who was speaking in an English accent. We apparently met a few weeks ago and he told me he was a skier and just came back from a competition in Colorado. I also learned they were speaking in an English accent because their music fraternity, I tried not to start laughing, is performing a song soon and they needed an accent for it. We then exchanged phone numbers and he wishes to hang out with me. Huzzah to making friends.

So my friends/family/other random people have been harassing me for a while now to create a blog and combined with my laziness and uncertainty about where to start I just kind of didn’t. So, I’m still rather undecided at where to begin this journey into my psyche. We have two options here: start with my physical being or delve into my emotional state at the moment; however, for the sake of ease of pulling you into my world, let’s begin with my physical being.

I’m a 24 year old Puerto Rican homosexual male. Now of those words I just used to describe myself about…none…of them actually depict me well. I should also mention I’m in a wheelchair and I have osteogenesis imperfecta. Now for those of you to lazy to Google that (like I would be), it means brittle bones. If you’ve ever seen the movie, Unbreakable, with Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis, I have the disease Samuel L. Jackson has. But again that’s not really my identifying characteristic. None of these physical traits of mine are my establishing traits. If anything my most identifiable trait is my booming laughter which I’ve been told by almost anyone who has met me that they can use it to find me anywhere.

Now onto my current emotional state! I just got out of a year long relationship with this guy named Jimmy. The entire relationship has been a roller coaster of uncertainty on his part. One minute he says he can see us in ‘a hipster apartment in the city raising our Korean baby’ and the next he goes back to being scared of committing. After about a year I had enough of it so I broke up with him. However, he still goes to my old school, University of Central Florida, and whenever I go visit my friends I of course run into him more times than I would like. And the fact he’s still my best friend makes it that much more awkward. I am a 13 year old girl at heart. Sitting in my room listening to Taylor Swift hoping Jimmy will decide to text saying he misses me; however, the 24 year old male in me knows that’s not going to happen. Luckily, I have great friends, video games, and lots of alcohol to shut that 13 year old bitch up.

I think that will do for my first blog post. Now you all know a bit about little old me. I am an open book and literally a crap ton of more information will be poured out about me. C’est la vie.
