Not Enough

So for the article manuscript I submitted I had to include a little something about myself. this is what I came up with in the five minutes I cared to think about it.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Roy De La Cruz has been writing since he was in his high school journalism class. His beat was sports but since he was too busy to actually attend most sporting events, he would rely on his editor (Hugo) for the scores, highlights and stats. He would then weave a tale about what occurred, mostly inaccurate and fabricated depictions of what transpired during the games. While the alumni at the school would know the depictions to be completely fabricated, they found them highly entertaining. He became engrossed with life and left writing behind only to discover blogging in 2006. Friends, family and strangers alike were soon entertained again. He spent a decade in the exciting career as an insurance underwriter. When he found himself ungraciously let go in February of 2010, he began his love affair with writing once again. He hopes his random, sometimes incomprehensible thoughts on a wide array of subjects from his drunken tales to his love of hip hop, to be published in some sort of medium outside the internet soon...

I hate Ketchup and Mustard. They suck. I also hate relish. This is a problem when your dinners have been consisting of chicken hot dogs lately. So I have to get creative. Sometimes I do the grilled onion bit, sometimes I do the hot sauce thing. Today I went with cheese. I tried peanut butter once but it was not the great idea I thought it out to be. I also did the bacon thing once but since I am trying to be sensible these days that option is out. Back to the ketchup thing. I wrote about this before but I have to point it out again since I have an addiction to french fries. It is highly rude to pour ketchup all over those masterpieces. Be civil and pour it on the side and dip them if you must ruin the taste that is a good french fry. What if you don't finish them? Have you thought that maybe someone who will gorge himself to death on fries may want your extras? Obviously not, Mr/Mrs selfish. But there you went ruining that opportunity for him and those tasty things must now go in the trash. I actually make some bad ass french fries when I am inspired to do so, which is pretty much every time my kids are over and I make them dinner. Maybe if you're lucky I will divulge my recipe ala Kurt Vonnegut one day. If you don't know who he is, read a damn book. It involves voodoo. No not really but it will taste like you sold your soul to the devil. Oh and don't ever expect to split fries with me- that shit aint happening. unless its like a family basket. Then, maybe. I have beat little kids (mostly my own) whenever they have gotten into the fries on the way home from the drive thru. And the ones at the bottom of the bag are mine as well. My son has since gone to the darkside with his love of ketchup but Sofia is holding out strongly and it only took a few beatings...

I had my first full night of sleep last night in weeks. Was asleep by 10:30. I think its the fact I spent an hour on the elliptical, and played basketball until I thought I was gonna faint, then shot around for another half hour. So I did that again today which is why I my back is destroyed...

I just realized I have not turned on my TV since Sunday night. Almost would be proud if I hadnt been spending that time on the computer... Though it has been mostly to re-write my resume, write some articles, apply for jobs, and sell off the rest of my cds. I have just been really sitting here listening to music when not at the gym destroying my back or winning at poker. I have won the last two times in a row. So it paid for some badly needed tires, and the shipping costs for my cds to secondspin...

I have updated the site a little bit to make it easier in case you havent noticed. Thought the boom box matched the blogs nicely. I also found where the stats of pageviews for this thing and from where people are reading it. turns out after the US and Canada, its the UK and France. Denmark is in there as well. I'm sure its the song titles that gets them here. Seeing as its mostly writing from a guy I think 1500 page views is not bad I guess. The all time rated post is also pretty interesting though its neck and neck with another one. It also tells you where they visited the site from like google, facebook (of course), etc... Haha for google it also tells you what they searched for in order to find the blog, hahaha sorry guy from asia who searched for the Green Hornet...

A few years ago I read that postcards were losing popularity. So I decided to go on a crusade and begin sending them. Sometimes when I was out on the road, like the few east coast trips, other times I would just send San Diego ones to people who lived in San Diego. They would be filled with obvious ridiculous bullshit, but I figure the people in the postcard and post office business needed the revenue. If you were one of the lucky ones to receive one, I would definitely cherish and hold on to them. I am sure after I die here soon they will be worth at least the stamp that it cost to mail them. Who knows if I find my address book maybe I will start that up again. I also did it because nothing of note ever comes in the mail anymore. Its either a bill, coupons, some bullshit wedding or birthday invitation you don't even wanna go to (just kidding!) or something from the IRS wondering why you filed your taxes the way you did. So I figured a nice little postcard every once in a while would get people to be pleasantly surprised on the walk back from the mail box... That would be like my service to you all...
