MAKING POZOLE FOR DINNER FOR THE FIRST TIME

   I am half Mexican and half White and love to cook. I love trying to do recipes of food I have never cooked before. Don't really have a style of cooking, I really like just trying to challenge myself to trying to cook food I love. One of my favorite things to cook is Mexican. One thing I have never made before, but have great memories of my grandma making, is pozole. Now my grandma is still around, but I don't live right next door to her anymore. 

2020...WHAT A YEAR

    Sitting here thinking back about this crazy year of 2020. You never really know what a new year will bring you. You always hope for the best, but life is crazy and loves to throw curve balls at your plans. Hell, I was suppose to have my twentieth high school reunion this year, and that didn't happen. I can only speak for myself, but not all of this past year was bad. There was a lot of good that happen along with the bad during, dare I say it, Corona Virus pandemic. 

COME TO DADDY MOVIE REVIEW

   Come To Daddy is labeled as a comedy horror, but I would say it is more of a horror thriller. I first heard of this movie from my cousin Brian who host the Terrible Terror Podcast. After showing me the trailer I was hooked and wanted to see it. One thing that I loved about the trailer is that it gives nothing way from the movie. And there is a BIG twist that I am so happy did not get spoiled.

MOVING TO OUR OWN SPOT

   At the start of the year in February we got the news that the owner of the house we were renting was going to sell it. We had ninety days to get out and find a new place. Now lets go back a little, I had to move back in with my parents back in 2006 after I had a work injury that would put me out of work for four years. Within those four year I had three surgeries on my right wrist. Needless to say I have not been in a good spot financially to live on my own in California.

FIGHTING FOR A HEALTHIER ME

   Earlier this year I went to the doctors to get my ears looked at, they had been giving me trouble for a while now. Being someone who don't like going to the doctors unless I really need to, I off going when I should have gone in sooner. As always, they weigh you when go you go in and check your blood pressure. As always, and this makes my brother and father mad cause they have high blood pressure, I did not. My weight, well that is another thing all together.

   I have been trying to lose weight for a few years now. Going to the gym, walking, and trying different diets. I gain a lot of weight over the course of four years when I had hurt my wrist and had to had three surgeries over that four year span. I honestly didn't even realize that I had gain so much weight, which might sound weird, but its true. It is as if I woke up one day and...BOOM, I was over two hundred pounds overweight.

DON JOSE'S MEXICAN RESTAURANT FOOD REVIEW

   Don Jose's Mexican Restaurant in Castro Valley, California has some great memories for me when I was in and after I graduated from high school. I use to frequent that place all the time, they had the best salsa. I remember one time a friend and I went there just for some chips and salsa cause they were so good. Back then, that was my spot, I took many dates there. Now a days the food, not as good though.

   I had been to Don Jose's in a few years, then went back to be disappointed. The food was not as I remembered, and the salsa tasted like tomato paste. I could not believe that one of my favorite spots had gone down so much in just a few years of me being there. After that experience, I said that I would not return. So I moved on from a place that was a go to for me.

MARILYN MANSON & SMASHING PUMPKINS CONCERT 7/7/15

 On Tuesday July 7th 2015 I went to the Concord Pavilion to see a concert. That concert was Marilyn Manson and The Smashing Pumpkins! It was the kick off to The End Of Times Tour. I went with my wife Crystal, and my boys Brian, Ben, and Andy. Had some luck at the venue, which is nice. This was the third time I saw Manson, but the first time seeing The Smashing Pumpkins, and it was a hell of a show.

WEIRD DREAM

   I know most people say that they can't remember there dreams, but I am one for the most part that does remember. The funny thing is that I can still remember weird and crazy dreams I have had from when I was a little kid. I mostly have dreams that have nothing to do with anything, but last night was a crazy one. And the fact that when I woke up the chilling feeling from the dream did not go away added to a creepy feeling I got.

   In the dream my wife Crystal and I was trying to leave this huge place that was a prison/hospital of some kind. We was in a car leaving and something did not want us to leave. As we started to go, we looked out the window and something had killed Crystal's parents. Now in the dream they did not look like Crystal's parents, they had different faces and body types, but we knew that they was her mom and dad. There bodies lied on the ground and there heads had been decapitated. Crystal's mom's head was thrown at us by something we didn't know.

HELP FIGHT LEUKEMIA FOR THE LIGHT THE NIGHT WALK

   I have wrote before about my brother in-law Anthony having Leukemia. He got it when he was 17 years old. He had to finish high school at home. He ran cross country for his high school team and had to give it up cause of his Cancer. He is now in remission and doing much better with very little flare ups. We are very lucky and happy that he made a recover. Since we found out about him having Leukemia, we have gotten involved in raising money to help fight this disease.

FUN TIMES WITH THE FAMILY AT THE A'S GAME

   Last Saturday my family and I went to the A's vs Yankees' game. My dad and I wanted to see Derrick Jeter one last time in person, so when we got tickets. Not just any tickets, we thought we would see the game in style and got a suite. We were above center field and lined up perfectly with home plate. It was a 12 person suite, but there was only 7 of us. The 7 of us was my mom, dad, brother(Joseph), sister(Emily), wife(Crystal), and my sister's boyfriend Ray.
