How Do U Want It / 2Pac / All Eyez On Me [Disc 1]

2Pac - How Do You Want It

Found out earlier that I’m not working on Monday. I’m just in a great mood. This song should contribute to YOU being in a great mood. Turn it up.

“El Diablo” translates into “The Devil” in Spanish but you’re probably referring to something mentioned in my blog. Not sure from what post you got it from but it must have been a loooooong time ago cause I haven’t got into “El Diablo” mode in a long time.

Long story short: I was new blood here at SideOneDummy Records and I was EXCITED! Excited to be on the team, working at a record label, working with bands that I liked and on top of that excited to be going on my first ever company trip. The company was headed to San Francisco because we were going to go see Flogging Molly open for Green Day (Jimmy Eat World played too) on Sept. 24, 2005. It was the first time ever I was flown anywhere on the company dime with co-workers. In an effort that make sure I could “hang,” I kind of set it off a tiny bit in the alcohol consumption and by the end of the night my boss was calling me “El Diablo.” I guess, since they’ve only known the hard working, quiet, shy Alex, when I got a little cray cray in San Francisco, they witnessed me but in ‘Diablo’ form. They still talk about it to this day. It was fun when I’d tap into my alcohol-influenced alter ego. I’m pretty chill now.

I hope that answers your question, Mr. or Mrs. Anon E. Moose

Led Zeppelin - Since I’ve Been Loving You @ Madison Square Garden July 1973

I understand, that these days, we leave it to Marshawn Lynch to school us on what it means to be in “Beast Mode” but Jimmy Page INVENTED “Beast Mode.” Fact.

There’s a group of people here on tumblr that I’ve followed for 3+ years and I’ve seen them go through a lot. It’s a selective few that with a simple click of that heart in the corner or a Reblog they try to show that “hey, I’m still here…I’m still listening.” I do the same to them. Sounds funny, but it’s become somewhat of an online friendship that I’d like to believe we hold our own value to. I haven’t had time to blog in detail all that’s been going on with me (like I normally like to do) but we try to let people know we’re still here, kindly “stalking” each other to what everyone is up to. So to all of you, I hope you know who I’m talking to (I’ve seen all your “likes”), have a great Happy New Year and be safe. I want updates of la cruda tomorrow. In 2012, I’ll be debuting a picture of my first baby boy, Kenneth Alexander. That post, when it comes, better get 20 likes…just kidding. At least 10 :)

“With Love,”

Who knew that having our own apartment would mean getting used to filling ice trays again. Been so used to leaning a cup against a lever and ice coming out without any effort. But I’m extremely grateful because it’s ours. They’re our ice trays I just filled a minute ago as I listen to Iron & Wine in our living room as she and the baby take a nap on our bed. All these years it’s been me. I like “ours” better.

David Bazan - “Virginia”

Songs like this are why ‘Strange Negotiations’ should be on MANY Best Albums of 2011 lists.

Virginia I had a dream that you invited us over
You still lived on the street where you laid down for good
We all sat on the floor as my kids swam around us
You smoked cigarettes like I knew you would

We were worried about your personal salvation
Was it heaven or hell that you saw when your eyes closed?
You smiled at us, floating high above the question
Like you knew something we didn’t know

Virginia I had a dream we were closer than brothers
Singing, pictures of you, crashing cars, skipping school
We drove all over town as the days blurred around us
We wore out your cassettes, we were nobody’s fool

They were worried about our high school graduation
They read us a poem, “Oh the Places You’ll Go”
You smiled it off, floating high above the question
Like you knew something they didn’t know

A great performance of “Virginia” live on KEXP.

My gift for Lissette (Momma Bear) from me (Poppa Bear) (with a little help from the baby, we discussed it while she slept). She’s been on a caramel candy binge so I “forced” myself to eat like 6 of them so I can quilt together some fancy candy wrapper gift wrap. 

It was only natural that her gift include a pendant of a little Osito to represent our baby bear that will make his debut in March 2012.

In return, I’m getting some delicious tamales for Christmas. Next year, we’re gonna have to make Gerber flavored tamales. Mmmm.

A big thanks to Kirsten Nunez for her great work on the bear pendant and getting it to me on time. I highly recommend her if you’re interested in some customized jewelry.

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Drive Safely but most importantly Eat Safely.

I told Fifi a joke earlier today as she was sunbathing. She found it rather funny.

But in the meantime, looks like we’ll be set up on Christmas for all the NBA games in store that day. Brand new TV is boxed up and waiting to be set up on Thursday!

Jerry and I sharing a graham cracker while watching Tebow go to work on the Patriots. Graham crackers taste better when shared even though he gave me his version of the “WTF?” stare when I took a big bite.

And so it begins. Moving.

Happy Kid- Nada Surf (from Let Go)

I am officially on Holiday Vacation. I will be checking my email throughout my vacation but pretty much…No more work until 2012.

Bob Dylan - Guess I’m Doing Fine

And I’ve never had much money
But I’m still around somehow.
No, I’ve never had much money
But I’m still around somehow.
Many times I’ve bended
But I ain’t never yet bowed.
Hey, hey, so I guess I’m doin’ fine.

…Well, my road might be rocky,
The stones might cut my face.
My road it might be rocky,
The stones might cut my face.
But as some folks ain’t got no road at all,
They gotta stand in the same old place.
Hey, hey, so I guess I’m doin’ fine.
