get to know your world

What is my family thinking.! I think that it is pretty crazy that a family tradition that we have for Christmas Eve is watching horror movies with the little kids.

Two years ago, to entertain the kids and to pass by time we played them a movie. It actually turned out to be a horror movie, and the kids actually liked it. haha, go figure but now that’s like a family tradition. Last year, we watched what i think was the Scary Movie series and i think House of a Thousand Corps. Now i heard that today we might be seeing Killer Clowns in Outer Space.

i find it quite crazy that we do this but were not your average family. One of my cousins is missing a finger, well half a finger because she chopped it out. One of my cousins husband has a hernia. So those are the people who are easy targets. Then it all gets personal, people will tell it all, so then that their dirty laundry isn’t thrown out. The funny thing is that if the adult doesn’t want to say anything you can always bribe the kid. That’s the potluck C:

6 more hours till Christmas!

so I am getting ready to do what is hopefully my last-minute shopping before christmas eve,.

I have found out that I’m not into Christmas like i have been in recent year. Why, I don’t know but I have come with one reason. You can’t get into the Christmas spirit unless you’re a child or you have one. I think this is the reason I’m not into it.

When I was a child, I would always count to this day because who doesn’t love tons of presents at one time. The added bonus that my cousin and siblings were with me and receiving gifts was also a reason I wanted to get stuff. It was the joy of getting the newest toy or electronic.

And if you’re a parent, then you have that joy of trying to give your kid everything that you never had. So you always try to get them all they want no matter what. I can remember when my mom used to get my brother and me millions of gifts. While she didn’t receive any, then one christmas i noticed this and asked her why she was happy she told me that it made her happy just seeing our faces and our happiness and that she didn’t need anything at all. She is a single parent so there was no one to give her a present. Now that changed, we have a big bash with our relatives and do gift exchanges.

Before I leave to go shopping for my sister, I want to leave you with this thought.

I didn’t even ask for a present this year, and I think if I don’t receive anything at all that I would  be okay with that. I am probably gonna be happier why, cause now I can understand why my mom had this joy of watching us opening presents.  and now I can share this joy because im getting the presents for my sister, and I’ll be able to see her joy.

This is blog, it will be about my life and the experiences that I encounter on a day-to-day basis. I will only use first name’s to keep the privacy of my family, friends, and other parties.

First of all I’m Eric, what can i say about myself. I’m 19, hispanic and confused. I’m trying to find out what’s the meaning of my life, so to say the purpose. Lately I’ve found myself wandering around aimlessly doing nothing. I have a daily routine and i need to fix it.

My daily routine goes as this wake up, eat, go on Xbox live(gamertag: Wegglish) , call friends, hang out and then play yugioh. This routine isn’t what i always do but since the holiday break, it what i have done since this week. But the problem with my routine is that im NINETEEN. I need a job but in this economy no one can get one. The problem occurs when they look at my résumé and they don’t see a work experience, then they say they aren’t interested. How can anyone get a job if they don’t have work experience.! They are trying to get this job to get the work experience to show other employers in the future that they are capable of working. Do you get where i’m going. It’s a paradox, and none of us non-experienced workers can get a break.
