Xavier Valentino Gomez
Looks like he's gonna be a bruiser and Moma and my brother are doing well.
More later
Not quite and insider but not exactly an outsider either. Join me as I describe to you what it means to be a brown person as I point out the ridiculousness of it all in this hopefully humorous, sometimes cynical but often eye opening accounts of a little Mexican boy.
My branch of the Gomez clan has officially spawned.
The as so far unnamed n00blet son of my brother was born around 9:30 am, thus cementing the continued growth of the family name.
This is going to be fun as I now get to hear my brothers stories of
perpetual lack of sleep, spit up stories, pee in the face moments and
the never ending stream of dirty diapers.
Only 13 years from open defiance and insurrection.
I so can't wait to fill this kid with complexes and idiosyncrasies.
And people wonder how I got so twisted.
I point and blame Public Broadcasting. Ernie made me do it!
Since Christmas I have been asking around trying to get one of those hydro cephalic trogs that works at the big electronics stores to let me know when the next shipment of Wii's come in.
Each time I get the same answer.
Me: When is your next Wii shipment?
Trog with finger up his nose: Uhhh, we do not know when the next shipment is coming in.
Me: Is there a way for you to let me know when they do come in?
Trog sniffing his finger: We sorry first come first serve.
Me: So let me get this straight, you do not know when it's coming in and you can not tell me when it comes in and I can not pre-buy it either/
Trog licking finger: uh, yeah.
Now do not get me wrong. I could have gotten it a long time ago. I did not buy it then because I did not want to spend and additional $300.00 American above and beyond the base sticker price.
I mean who does that?
Who is willing to spend that much money on a Wii?
Honestly, If you have nothing better to do with your cash, buy that steaming piece of turd the PS3. Do not continue to allow hardware vendors to prey on your desperation (and or stupidity) and allow them to jack up the price 2X or 3X of what it usually is. Do not buy the bundles systems either, those are a total waste of cash as they stick you with a bunch of titles that you will never play, sell or give away.
I'm going to go play Wow now.
| You scored as Chaotic Good. A Chaotic Good person is someone who has little intrinsic respect for laws or authority, seeing them as insufficient to sustain what's right. These people work according to their own moral compass which, while good, is not necessarily always aligned with that of society. Despite their chaotic tendancies, these people are good at heart.

I remember a long time ago when I was just a small child, a happy time of songs, smells and sights.
My heart would skip a beat at the mention of this magical time.
Everyone you knew from mean old man upstairs to your best friends actually became nicer. I mean really nice.
People would say please and thank you. Total strangers would wish you a good day, and the smell of spiced cakes and pies were everywhere.
And this is is sunny Los Angeles.
People where just happier back then, or so I remember.
Of course I'm talking about Christmas past...
I have just survived another budget busting, blood pressure popping, big o' piece of steaming reindeer turd of a holiday.
Am I ever glad its over.
Christmas has lost all its shiny luster this year. I have been yelled at by old ladies. Harassed by skater punks and insulted by sales people as they make off the cuff remarks about my choice of "gifts" to my loved ones.
