A little story…

Tuesday, June 14th, 2005

Image032  "And there she was…Back from a lost time…she walks graciously and confidently around like she owns the land. Shes is beautiful. She’s meticulously fixing something or packing. She ignores me at first, but then again,  everybody does. I noticed the fleeting light, like everything is in monotone or monochrome or what some people might percieve cloudy gray day. At first i am speechless and then i notice I can’t seem to utter a sound. I try and try to scream or to talk, but all of it is lost, Washed by the wind.I think i started to cry.Just a tear of infinite saddness in my eye. but then I look at her, carefully. curiously. She is beautiful…Her breathing is so controlled, you would think she was asleep. Her heartbeat dosen’t even flinch. My heart on the other hand, pounds…it betrays and embarasses me. You would think at this point in our non-existent relationship i wouldn’t care.but…I think she’s going away. She has lifted her things and she is going away.Why is everyone going away? I asked myself. But then just like that i can speak. i began to utter what passes for a voice in this place. I began to tell her about the problems i had been having, all the crap i have been trying to achieve, and the people who were trying there best to see me fail. I plead her sympathy, her pity. Like a desperate babe, i implore her help. All the while i think to my self, "Be quiet! Stop embarrasing yourself! She is not your friend! Why won’t you shut up?! She is not your priest!" but then i continue on, blabbering about the little insignificant intricacies of my life. how small i felt. How tiny have my world become. Then, as she walks away i tell myself, "Don’t do it. Don’t Embarass yourself again. Let it go. Let her go. Hold it in. Your friends would laugh at you. Your family would laugh at you. Don’t you do it! Don’t! Aaand…you did it."..I told her i loved her and wished we i never got out of bed. That i never unwrapped my arms around her. Her heart dosen’t skip, not a single beat. Her breathing dosen’t even budge. She dosen’t look back. She walks away,…washed by the wind from my senses. "I deserved that you know. Idiot." And just like that i am drowning in tears. Mighty is this flood that i have fallen to. When suddenly i opened my eyes. Something glittered and shined. It was a bright light from my window. It was just a dream, just an old ghost. Then i take a second to make sure, i collect myself…i lifted myself up and continued reviewing for the boards…

“SUPERMAN:SECRET IDENTITY” a stolen idea

Thursday, June 9th, 2005

2414_180x270 THIS WAS MY IDEA! Yeah, you heard me, this was my story.I can’t believe someone wrote it.Kinda feels like that movie with johnny depp, "Secret Window". When I was in college, i wrote one chapter and a plot. It was about a boy who has a wild imagination, so vivd that he can see things happening in every situation. Kinda like Ally Mcbeal or Scrubs. So anyway, its about that kid who imagines he can do stuff and saves the day. Different scenarios, different powers and such. Then one day, he thinks he imagining things and suddenly realizes his doing it for real. This was suppose to be set in the real world. Sorta how we would react if something like this finally comes to life. It gets really twisted when the dilemma on whether or not its real or if he’s Schizophrenic. Well, Anyway, a certain Kurt Busiek had the same story. But its about a farm boy named, "Clark Kent". All his life people make fun of him because of the similar name to Superman:the comic. Yeah, he gets his ass kicked a lot and his piss.He has issues like we do in the real world. Although he dosen’t imagine it(like in my book), he suddenly began doing stuff only superman can. What follows next is an AMAZING TALE. I kid you not, this is the ultimate Superman Book, that coming from a BATMAN fan by the way.I know, i built up the last book, but that was an Honest book. This book is a genius. It’s simply Brilliant. And its practically the same idea that i have. Oh crap. Anyway, i’ll probably try to finish my story someday.If you love good books or even a great story, but isnt a comic fan, Pick this book up at any Powerbooks, Fully Booked, or comic shop. I’ll refund your money if you don’t like it. That is if you can still find the book.Thats just how good this book was for me.

SUPERMAN: For All Seasons

Thursday, June 9th, 2005

1547_180x270 Hey,I think it’s a Bird. I was walking the other day, with a gift certificate for powerbooks given as a gift.Being a comic collector i wanted to get something special.Something uplifting and inspiring.And in the most recent days,it was just so depressing with what was happening around.Comic reading is my release from this plane.All my troubles are drowned when i get lost in this timeless tales of adventure. "Superman:For All Seasons" is one of the most honest book i have ever read in a long time. It was sincere and heartfelt. In this book it explores basic fundamentals of Ka-el or Clark Kent. His Smallville days, his first metropolis adventure, His first defeat, and the first time he showed his never ending spirit..hence, four seasons, or for sll seasons. What separates this book from the rest is that eventhough this story has been told gazillions of times, it was never narrated with such powerful honesty.Me, being a dark, gritty kinda guy, who loves Batman, saw this book as an inspiring piece. So inspiring that it inspired the TV series, SMallville. Yup, this was where they got the concept.I hope you get to read this book or even just scan it next time you drop by powerbooks or any comic shops.I actually was just gonna scan it in Powerbooks but ended up staying for an hour reading it twice, then finally buying it. Even without the smiling registar lady, this book is well worth the price.

WELCOME TO MY PIECE

Wednesday, June 8th, 2005

Image030 Blogging ain’t easy. Welcome to my life thats a little less ordinary and probably a little more funny. I’m blogging just so i can share a lot of misadventures and situations that you don’t mostly see everyday. I’m currently in the pharma part of my review and was thinking i needed to talk to someone. As pathetic as it may be, the only people i get to talk to are the people getting my order at the starbucks coffee shop in Madrigal. As soon as i get in, there’s a "May i take your order, sir?". Now, i am always set back by this question and always try to think about it while the person in front of me smiles. I would just stare up in the menu, symphatetic to the person behind the counter because they would have to hold that smile until i order.Its amazing, you should try it, that smile can go forever. Anyway, i try to be quick about it and order. Thats as far as any of my social contacts go these days. So now i’m in my laptop having a conversation with 300 people or so,online. And they don’t even know about it. Yup, by the time you have read this, we have been talking and you just didn’t know it. Now, how fun is that? We can be married and you still wouldn’t know it. Ahhhh…thats crazy.Well, life is less ordinary this days, mostly boring. I’m reviewing like hell for the MED boards and having second thoughts of taking it.But i wll, but i’m just saying i’m thinking of quitting.It’s scary really.I’m the one your gonna go to in the future,and that is scary.Only consolation is, there gazillions of doctors out there..like comic superheroes, you get so tangled up with secret origins,dreaded twists, and continuity problems.Yup i love comic books. The way to my heart is through this books and maybe a good massage.I use to date this lady in college she knew all this.Was suppose to end up with her but things went way off my plans,she ended up in the arms of a supporting cast,and my life went haywirre for 2 years. Yep,it’s been like one hell of a comic adventure from that point until today.So maybe its not a total lost.I still wonder about those plans everyday but get to see what i have achieved in its stead.So,i’m still deciding if i should write my secret adventures.I don’t know.Will try to talk about more relevant stuff next time. This is just our "meeting" up talk.This is where i take you phone number, and complement how funny you are.In truth,i find almost everyone funny.Well, best of luck,will probably meet you at starbucks again next time.I love the Banana Cream pie..you should try it.Until then,Ciao!
