:)

I am here. Writing to myself I believe, while listening to music. It is not so easy to keep up with a promise. Unfortunately, I broke it on June 27th of 2009. I guess, I really did not feel like writing. Call me inadvertent or just a lazy bum. But I'm in no saturnine mood. I should be decisive with what I want for myself. To be the best damn writer there is and to be respected by many. There's going to be many hardships along the way but as long as I have my good friends supporting me, I will persevere. I could write more but I do not want to get into a prolix.

Bad Girlfriend.

Here's something I managed to write the other day.

There is something I ought to say
today will be my day.
No longer will it ride on you but
of my own accord.
I could tell, you were always bored.
Nothing ever seemed to satisfy your so called needs,
You've performed some dirty deeds.
Played me as If I were some kind of game,
you should be put to shame.
Aggressive, possessive, and subversive
are not the only words that fit your persona.
Such strike is not what I need in life.
No longer will it ride on the two of us.
It is time that I depart, Let's be far apart.

I'm in the mood for some food.

I've got 3 days left in the city, but I ain't feeling shitty. So far, I have bought most of my necessities. Just need to buy my school supplies and obtain my state ID. I hung out with my best friend Gisselle. I love her to death. She is so sweet and nice, hence her aim user name. And she never chooses to brood over anything or let anyone take advantage of her. I'm definitely going to miss her. The days are pretty much going by quickly, and I'm just relaxing. I should call my EOP adviser tomorrow to see If I'm still admitted for the SOAR program this summer at Buffalo. Don't want to travel up there for nothing. WAFFLES the fuckin' awesome substitute for pancakes.

Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This Before

So here I am, writing like I usually do. Lots of stuff have been going on. My mother solely believes I'm going to fuck up my first semester at Buffalo, I don't think she has any faith in me. But I will prove her wrong. Sometimes she leads me to think that she performs these actions upon me with disgruntlement. Then I think "Dude! Pay no mind to this stuff, you know how Hispanic mothers are.", yeah I love my mom but I just need some time away from her bickering ways. I know her and my father want me to transfer to a university that's closer to New York City, but I will not retort. I would like to immerse myself within Buffalo. Hopefully come out a better person. Develop such affinity with the students at the Campus. Might even find myself in a relationship but it's too early to tell.

An Overwhelming Feeling.

I feel like I don't amount up to anything right now. It's an saddening feeling looming over me. I hate it, a feeling that I despise the most out of all melancholic/not so good moods. I'm really not in the 'moment' to write today but I must keep up with a promise. No matter what it is, I must adhere. But such despondency is hard to overcome. For now I'll just take my leave.

I Don't Know.

So I hung out with some friends today for about 2 hours; Donnie, Karina, Genesis. Genesis is constantly playing Resident Evil 5 whenever he comes to my house. I guess you can say he's obsessed with it. It's cool and everything but I know I'm not gonna beat the game because I have about a week left here in NYC. UNLESS I PLAY NON-STOP. But I'm no avid gamer. I'm pretty much into music and other things. Then after that I went to see the movie (500) Days Of Summer with my beloved brother and sister. I love them both with all my heart. I'd say it's a pretty good movie. It had some romantic & humorous scenes. I loved the soundtrack by the way. Maybe because it's mainly composed of indie rock/folkish songs. I'm really into that genre (I can still listen to other kinds of music). My friend Donnie thinks there's a trend of these movies like 500 Days Of Summer, as to say look at Juno, Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist. Well next week is my last week to hang out with friends. I have a date with Jennifer at the South Street Seaport (It's not a real one like we're dating no no no) and my best friend Gisselle. I'm going to have lunch with her and meet her parents. Hopefully it runs smoothly!

Songs Songs Songs

I would like to write a meaningful song or at least attempt it. I consider Lily Allen and Imani Coppola as the lyrical masterminds in this day and age, geniuses I must say. Such talent that I'd muster for. They can write about anything and still make some sense. As for me, I never seem to hold my thoughts together. It's something I need to work on. Here we go:
List of possible rhyming words :
1.) name, game, blame, shame, came
2.) say, day, pay, ray, way, fray, sway

I'm terrible at rhyming. I ought to find someone who can teach me to be poetic. Poets are usually good songwriters.

3.) illuminate, ruminate, procrastinate

I'm still persisting, I can't believe I'm doing this.

4.) light, plight, sight
5.) nine, fine, mine, saturnine
6.) aggressive, possessive, submissive, subversive
7.) kiss, miss, bliss
8.) fix, mix, prolix
9.) vicious, malicious, delicious
10.)inclusive, decisive
11.) repent, lament
12.) wring, cringe, binge
13.) life, knife, strife

I'll see if I can come up with something with these words.

To the Library I go!

From Zenith, there has been many things going through my mind by in means of a repetitive sequence. Seeing that I have a wide span of time on my hands. There really isn't much to do but just contemplate on life and it's daily occurrences. First let's start off with the subject of College. Yes I know with a degree your better off financially than someone who does not have one in possession, but what may I ask of this? The impending stress that is induced upon on the college student. One thing that can strike some fear in me. Second, it's about my sexuality. Yes I am straight but I do have a curious side. When kissing a guy, is it the same as If it were the opposite sex? I have not laid my lips on either yet. Pretty much, I've been branded or dubbed as the 'virgin' of several things to yet experienced. Such platitude of the use of the term sex would only be considered a trite. I see sex as something sacred. A lack of love will change it to Lust. I could not live out a lustful life. I prefer to be a gentleman like Rochester and to my avail find my own Jane (someone that I can love and care for,basically). Last but not least, I'm constantly thinking about my friends. I love them dearly, keeps me from letting myself slip into a deep depression. And if you're reading this Jennifer! I have not forgotten you.You are to, in my mix. As this entry is now near to it's nadir, I finish up with a wish to continue my daily free writing. (I wish to be multifarious.)

I can't think of good titles for my blogs.

Woooooohooooo! On my third free write. I found out who my roommate is. His name is Daniel Dienhoffer. He seems easygoing, a roommate like that is all I need. And plus he is a pianist! I have 11 more days left in NYC. After that I embark onto the college life. Days are passing by quickly, August is just right around the corner. I am only going to take one class for the summer. It is titled as "CWP". If I pass it I will be given 3 college credits. Dan happened to call me later in the day. One question he asked me was If I have a problem with being gay. I replied back to him with a "hell no". It seems has if there were other people that wouldn't want him as their roommate. I hate discrimination. Homosexuals are not any different from straight people. Eleven more fucking days, I am thrilled beyond comprehension. Oh my god, I should really pick up a book. Read, read, read, find some words that I'm not aware of and their meanings. Imagine me with an impressive list of new vocabulary words!

2nd

I believe that this is my second free write. I must keep up with this. Get into the habit of writing, It will do me some good. To accommodate to my own needs, I must first put in effort. To put in none, it is just a waste. To conceal will only hinder my progression. I want to feel competent not incompetent. To have espied a fleeting dream is better than having not at all. Inspiration is a great feeling, and as of Sunday, I am really liking it. ( I think I went off on a tangent, ah oh well.) I ought to keep my thoughts together. Well we're off to another topic. I am listening to a new band I discovered while watching the subterranean playlist on MTV the other day. They can actually play good music! But of course, the name of the band is Phoenix, they have a single out right now; "1901". Although the song itself does not have a single rhyme it does include a mesmerizing tune. Thus enabling it to remain as the good indie electro song anyone can groove to. I can listen to any genre of music as Arbitrary. She & Him, a good congenial duo. Soothing music to listen at any time of the day but specifically in the morning. Group members consist of actress Zooey Deschanel and the impressive alternative indie singer/songwriter M. Ward. Both working together to make an indie, country, folkish sound.

A lil' note I wrote in my binder.

Hello my name is Eduardo Dominguez. Today I begin my free writing in hope of improving myself as a reader and also has a writer. Eventually developing my own style but in order to acquire this, I must also get back into the habit of reading. In my first ten years of living, I was the "bookworm", use to read just about anything but something happened and I was drawn into the world of gaming. Now that is all left behind. The most important things in my life now; are music and friendships, I hope I can add writing to this list in the near future. Sometimes I wish I were part of the indigenous kind. You know, things just occurring naturally and going with the flow. I can have one idea or goal come out of my mouth one day saying I will achieve it, but knowing myself it will just forgo.This feeling of laziness and procrastination almost feels insuperable. I shall start with the smaller objectives and progress further from this first step. Moderation is always the best way to go.

Today was just weird.

Haven't blogged since Wednesday, thought I should do it now. I haven't done much since 'cept write down somethings on paper and play some games on my playstation 3. Well today I woke up 'round 11am. I was pretty much excited for a concert. Live performances included Benji B, Little Dragon, Q-Tip, & Chester French. I enjoyed Chester French the most. And I was hanging out with my russian homie Anna. I'm gonna miss her, won't see her 'til December. By the way I met Jennifer. She's cool.
Could actually keep a conversation going with her. We could become good friends but only time will tell. As the days of college draw in closer, I'm starting to wonder.
I have some doubts in me, but I'm sure I'll do okay. Well I'm tired so this is all I have for today. Peace homies.

Reasoning behind my choice of career.

At the age of twelve of I viewed a program on CBS that dealt with poverty in India. I was struck by the living conditions that people were enduring; a sharp contrast to the life I was living in the United States. This program greatly affected me and I realized the great impact the media has on people. I also realized the great responsibility journalists and reporters hold. They feel the need to expose and spread the injustices and the cruel ties as well as the humanitarian and benevolent deeds that occur in our world.
I knew then that I had found my lifetime occupation( or at least I think so). I want to become a journalist. In order to achieve this goal, I realized the importance of improving my writing and any speaking skills for me, improving my speaking was the most difficult task because for many years I was extremely shy and reticent. I worked hard to overcome this (and I did) and by taking challenging challenging courses in highschool I have greatly improved my writing skills and my understanding of the world. To do this, I chose to take numerous social studies classes. During my senior year, I actually enrolled in an Advanced Placement English class, which will offer me college credit.
In the summer of 2007, I also participated in a youth organization Children's Pressline, organized by the Daily News, where I learned hands on skills of journalism and actually had a piece of my work published. This was a great opportunity for me and it re-inforced in my mind and heart that journalism is the right career choice for me.

Hello.

Hello people. My name is Eduardo, and I currently reside in New York City; specifically The Bronx. I am 18 and dominican. By now I should have lost my virginity and have done alot of crazy shit. But I believe that I'm different from others. I am very friendly and random. My aspirations are to become a music journalist/ songwriter. But first I must improve myself as a writer and person. I know I'm not one of the best yet. I've got alot on my mind. I miss my friend Brittany. Haven't seen her since the last day of school. And I've still got to hang out with some friends before I depart to Buffalo in about 17 days. Explorin' is my thing. ;) By the way, I befriended this cool ass chick. Her name is Jennifer but I call her Jennifiyah. She's chinese & puerto rican. Can ya beat that sexy mix? I hope to meet many people while in college. And I should get myself a notebook. Make a schedule, which will lessen the stress.
It's all about time management. REMINDER TO MYSELF: READ, FREEWRITE, STUDY NEW WORDS DAILY. Let's talk about my love life. I currently have no lover. I'm not really putting myself up there. And I don't want to yet.
