Blurred Vision in a Dream State

As I started out my morning very out of it from what was in my cup from the night before while at home, I knew Sunday was going to be a day of rest.  I wanted to hit the gym, but my feet would not take me.  I wanted to go to the movies, but my eyes could see clearly for the big screen.  With most of my interesting option thrown out the day I decided maybe I shall try out happy hour at TGI Fridays and grab a bite to eat after a very brutal  week at work and welcome another this up coming week.

While at Fridays I would have bought my Kindle (e-book reading) to pass the time while eating some good food which is half off all day and so were the drinks.  Either way, with all my twisted head of blurred vision and feelings, I decided take a nap and awake in the mid afternoon and take a walk to the restaurant. All in all I never made it, I was lounged out in my recliner in the living room from 1 pm to 10 pm with a multitudes of dreams in which at the end of the sleeping cycle reflected story-lines coming from the loud TV set that was on in the house.

While in dream state I was really wondering why my dreams had made such a dramatic change, but upon waking up to head to my room to charge my dead Android smart phone, I noticed the kitchen television echoing the storyline of the my latest dream.  What a way to awake, then back into my lab a bit hungry to get back to editing photos and more.  Back to work.  Oh yea and to write this post you are reading.

How was your weekend?  Have you ever had the blurred vision effect?

My 2011 Birthday Wish List – Part 2 – Be Awesome and Get Me These!!!

Every year is another birthday.  Each year I claim I don’t want anything major, but c’mon who am I really kidding?  I got tons of stuff I want.  Some people might not know the exact reasons for it, but shoot, I do.  Here is my 2011 Wish List.

If you missed Part 1, here it is….
My 2011 Birthday Wish List – What Are You Going To Get Me?

Ok, we are back at it on great birthday gifts for me.  Let’s see what 5 others we can come up with hmmm.

Boxing Glove Wraps
Boxing Glove Wraps

6. Boxing Gloves Warps ($20-$30)
I need these so badly.  I can’t believe I went 4 years wanting them and not buy them…they are only $20.  Damn I am cheap.  I can buy a $1,000 camera in a flash but not a $20 glove, smh.  I like boxing at the gym.  It’s fun, and lots of stress I release there.

amazon-kindle
amazon-kindle

7. Amazon Kindle ($114-$169)
I been really getting into the mood of reading more, seeing that I watched a million tv shows and movies via Netflix.  So it’s time to get back to the books.  My friends were all telling me no don’t get the Kindle, get a tablet, but I felt especially knowing me, if I had a tablet I will not be reading books on it, I would be doing a million and one things as if it was my computer.  I simply just want a book, and a kindle is that (e-book reader either way).

ciroc-red-berry-vodka
ciroc-red-berry-vodka

8. Ciroc (Red Berry) ($24.99) | Long Island Ice Tea ($9.99) | Barefoot Reisling ($9.99)
I am not a big drinker, then again a lot of people would say against that, but I do like certain drink bases on the taste and ease of flow with certain foods I eat.  Buy my a drink today, so I can be smooth and relaxed on the weekend.  I love wine as my number one choice but if vodka (ciroc red berry), cognac (conjure), wine (reisling), everything (long island ice tea)

Snapback Fitted Cap
Snapback Fitted Cap

9. Snap back Fitted Cap ($30+) Green or Red
I want one of these.  I mean I usually don’t follow the fad going around, and I am not much of a hat wearer seeing I mostly always have low-cut hair cuts or bald, I still loves hats. especially ones that are cool.  I don’t one that’s really a basketball or baseball team hat, but a hat with one of my favorite colors (green, red or so) pretty much standing out would be so awesome to have as a snap back.  I want to get like a DC or Etnies hat.  I would settle for anything creative and awesome.

Need For Speed Shift 2 Unleashed
Need For Speed Shift 2 Unleashed

10. Need For Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed – PS3 ($40-$65)
Boy oh boy how I missed out on this game.  Probably the first Need For Speed game that came out that I didn’t buy on the spot.  I mean it was too close to the last need for speed release which was Hot Pursuit in November 2010, but I love to drive out of anything else in this game, it’s sad to see it not yet in my collection, since I collect ALL NEED FOR SPEED games.

hello kitty ninja tattoo
hello kitty ninja tattoo

Bonus 1. NEW TATTOO ($50-$80)
I been meaning on getting another tattoo, but kept saying no no no.  But I feel the one I wanted next would be really worth it…Donate to the cause to make me happy with another tat. 🙂

justin timberlake cologne Givenchy
justin timberlake cologne Givenchy

Bonus 2. Diddy’s I Am King cologne or Justin Timberlake‘s Givenchy colonge ($53-$83)
If any two colons I love the smell for it’s Diddy’s “I Am King” cologne and the just recently discovered Justin Timberlake cologne “Givenchy”…in which I got schooled on how its pronounced by (@BelleMarie86 over at My Boring Quarter-Life Crisis) after a stroll in Sephora.  But I really like these and will be inching to get me a bottle soon, if not both, I will get one or maybe you should get me one. lol.

Ok that’s all I got to list…there could be more, but that would means I am greedy (in which ain’t bad, shoot it only my BIRTHDAY right?).

As before, I have a particular taste, and I like things that are personal not flashy or too expensive.  I am a simple guy.

What are you planning on getting me birthday this year?  Do you already have anything I listed?  Do you want some of the same things I want?

Let me know…let’s talk about it.

My 2011 Birthday Wish List – What Are You Going To Get Me?

Every year is another birthday.  Each year I claim I don’t want anything major, but c’mon who am I really kidding?  I got tons of stuff I want.  Some people might not know the exact reasons for it, but shoot, I do.  Here is my 2011 Wish List.

soccer shoes

1. New Soccer Shoes
I am not sure if I listed this on my blog, but this was one of my birthday gifts in 2009.  I was back into playing soccer and needed to boots to rock out with.  I had also bought my first official basketball that year also, even though the ball was short-lived.

foreman grill

2. Foreman Grill
Even though I might get hated on by my grandmother via she wants me to learn her cooking and she believes if I don’t learn her cooking, then I don’t know how to cook.  She is quite something.  I am making very big differences in my life, starting with my fitness and health.  I want to eat healthy and be able to prepare great food quickly for I always be on the go, so the Foreman Grill well definitely assist me in cooking great food.  (I can’t wait for them steam vegetables, grill chicken, tasty fish, and more….mmmm Yum)

ninja outfit

3. Ninja Outfit
I bet you didn’t see this one coming, or did you?  I want a ninja outfit.  I am a totally big fan of ninjas, samurai, assassins, hit-mans and people of the mix martial arts.  I am not sure when it started, but I want to be a ninja, well at least look like one.  I think that are so dope.  I think deep down inside, I am a true ninja. (you better close your windows…too late, I am already inside, defend yourself lol)

htc evo 3d

4. Evo 3D 4G (smart phone) from Sprint
Though I am not on sprint, I want the new Evo smart phone.  I am thinking and have almost fully made up my mind to leave T-Mobile after 7 years of service.  If I do get this phone, it shall be my first android phone.  I have already mastered the ins and outs of the Blackberry and iPhone OS, and just need to have the versatility of having an android phone.  (Can’t beat having, Amazon Kindle, HBO Go, Netflix, Angry Birds, ReverbNation and BandH apps on the phone…)

STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE
STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE

5.Strawberry Cheesecake and a bottle of Riesling (wine)
If you know me I am a big pastry fan and my favorite cake is the cheesecake.  Adding the tasty ingredients of strawberries just makes it so much better.  My praises to who ever made this combination possible.  Next, I love tasty and delicious tasting wine, that’s where the Riesling comes in.  So imagine, a nice Fish, sweet potato and vegetable dinner with a nice bottle of wine, and strawberry cheesecake for desert, OMG, can you say BEST BIRTHDAY EVER…oh yea top that in with some Netflix watching right after. Wow.

I have a couple more…but I will write a part 2…I am having too much fun listing what I want…

Though some of the prices for items may be up there, I usually don’t expect anyone to buy me anything, so it’s just what I am going to work my butt off to buy for myself.

What are you planning to get for your birthday this year?  What did you get if your birthday already passed?
