Catching up

Taken from an e-mail to a college buddy...

To answer the question…yes, I had a family member who fell victim to some stuff (cocaine). He got his life together though, has a family now. About the lyric; the lyric was saying, ok since it’s so readily available around me. Nobody is hiring and I need to make money like anybody else. I should go that route…not by becoming a user but a proprietor. It’s like this “boyscout” role I’m playing…playing the good guy isn’t getting me anywhere quick,y’know. As far as the Magazine; currently reworking past issues into some sort of layout,the site will have “back issues” from when I was just using plain text, took October off to work on that.

Houston has had the dubious distinction of being the “Fattest City” for about 4 years going now. You can’t go down the street and let me emphasize that’s driving, nobody walks. Without seeing a Sonic, a Wendy’s, a Micky D’s etc; add your BBQ places and habitual bad eating habits…*smh* I came to work the other day with food I made at home. It was rice, corn, broccoli and baked salmon, my co-workers made these faces like something was wrong with me. One asked if I was on a diet…can you imagine. If it isn’t deep fried, something is wrong,ha. That’s a good point you made about Insurance leaving people to fend for themselves if they want to improve their health situation. I see this a lot where I live among other things…this is why I try to move opposite of what their doing. Yes, I’m slim…I try to stay fit and healthy; I mean…I have to be concerned since I don’t have health insurance right now. I run, eat alright for the most part…but I still have a black and mild and a drink from time to time.



The exam is at the end of this month and the anxiety towards one part of it (the math of course) is kicking in. But I’m dealing…reviewing some stuff I did with the help of my savant cousin. Overall…things are still moving along in my life, my friend who came to stay with me during the hurricane…I really care about her. I’d like to see something develop between us more than where we’re at right now. But I can’t hold my breath on it either, really trying to do away with the hopeless romantic stuff. So there you have it…reporting live from the belly of the beast, this is Victor Garcia signing off.
