A Quince for ........

Hello Past midnight and then some......Just got back from doing my nieces sweet 16 birthday celebration in Helotes. at bar/ballroom called Legends.I was the DJ and provided  the dance tunes for the night,my sister and I had previously talked about the music telling me she wanted all the fun line dances, music for the young teenage kids,cumbias,C&w,8o's and some Disco.I asked that Marina get a list of the songs she wanted to hear.
Today Saturday has been a work-er .....so relieved that the society cancelled the run for the poor today because of the rain...My team form the bistro led by Fidencio, was asked to arrive at 6am sharp. that's early
I get to sleep In till 10:30am and realize I have to go to auto zone to get the sealant for the radiator..while there i picked a vanilla scented pine tree that mixed with the smell of radiator fumes coming from the car vents double =industrial ..fix you ...fix u...flexible adhesive ....listened to Reverie Control on You Tube...You know that Jacob..he's swell with his notes on A index card.

4:33pm I arrive at Legends..What the Hell? There is a tractor moving wet soggy sand/dirt from the small hill i come upon..I'm in my Xterra...and my wheels are spinning...not getting stuck Get my vehicle to the door and meet Grandy, my other white-haired female cousin, she informs me that I have to go to the back to the loading area...aha..I had just past that area and almost got stuck in the MUD..I did say to her...oh "NO"
as she looks away "It will be okay" ...I drive around..all mud around me splooosh splaash clay mud.., Im in combat boots,,ready for the world way....Reminded I still have to unload heavy equipment like heavy Speakers two, my amp, the cd players , my mixer , the cds, the laptop, the cords the TABLE..all needed to come down off the car on STAGE...wahlla...I did it with mud on my sole..Jeremy helped, Marissa helped Gavin just wanted to hear Gangnam style.he just 12 years old, Sandra , Raul, Mom, Dad,  one by one all the family showed here I go names.....Tia Rose, Fred, Tio Ruben and Amalia, Janel and David, Stephanie and her family Tia Sylvia with Eric and Smurf...Rosie from Corpus and All my distant cousins Ronnie and her husband. Rita and her family Tia Herlinda ,Martin, Lisa, Julie , Boy and his son ...then there is Julian, Julie's boy a dancer and a Talker.Raul's family also showed up  and A boy named JIM...a distant cousin..oh my my......a inspiration to serene bliss...any ways I was a jerk and as#@%8..I was just so annoyed at stuff and mainly the girls that Marina had around they just keep coming to the stage to ask for songs and I was getting super stressed and you could tell I didn't talk or get into in at all just played the songs and there line dances and bitched to everyone that came to say hi to me family mostly ..they just walked away smiling sorry for that  I did not intend to offend anyone, and to the girls i told to leave. i want to apolgize for my rudeness and hopefully the music made you smile I know it made you dance, I love my sister who blessed me with her love and charity........its work and artists need to get paid. so I go to sleep knowing that I tried my best and the memories will make themselves.....they said they LOVED the music and I pulled my niece after and asked her She said she had a fun and she loved the music.    Can i get a what-WHAT? .my mom said to stop being so hard on myself..."BE Positive"

Friday night true stories

First Friday in Southtown, Me as the musical navigator, providing the soundtrack to the night of runners going from pub to pub, in outlandish get-ups and outfits recalling another holiday, though the attires did reference the 4th of july ...red,white and blue...everywhere My set list is up-beat and fresh and I am set up next to a table , that is getting an earful of loud sounds...brave souls and music lovers gather around. Step up a "busty latina" with a low cut revealing dress.Yells from the table, she has just occupied with her non-latina friend, who is texting and unaware of what's going  on or simply ignoring her friend, "You Like my titties" ..staring dead center at me, she continues " You are not looking"...was I not looking? well then I LOOKED and THEN I went off saying, " I see titties all day , i make clothes to fit all sizes....boobs here,, titties there.YEAH I see you titties" She gets up from the table she is sharing with her friend and she presses up against me really hard saying "I don't know why , but when I like what i see , I let you know and I like what i see"   OH SHIT this bitch is for real!..then she continues "If i am too much and you need your space"...noticing my apparent uneasiness  that had taken over ..I just wanted her to back the fuck up!!   my response "IM Working, here" she curtsies and walks away. ...I also met a guy named Mario , who loves indie music and also Got to see Joaquin , one of my models from a few years back...He did say "You need to be my new best friend....but I'm not gay"  haha I replied " I alredy knew"...RIGHT

the kitty from outer space...

It's just a catchy title...no story yet// I saw MIB3, last night and actually liked it, so I've had the space alien on my mind. ODD.. not all day. I was a rough one at work, lots of moving and new inventory to put out, redecorate, remove, and replenish. I didn't get a lunch break TODAY...either..no mas tacos.
Though....I did manage to get away  for a 30 minute mini break with Bravo, as she rode her bike in , she had noticed a new "VINTAGE STORE" just a few blocks from our store and our imaginations ran wild..WE Had to go see "the Collective" a nice sized building that was selling and doing what I had done for almost 20  years  plus  it is right across the street from the church of Patricia Castillo...(love this woman and her P.E.A.C.E) ...We walk in CHiCharras ciccadas , very JR/ .....the owner turns out to be Racheal, a former customer of mine..she's doing it with other creatives...
we get in the car and Bravo turns to me and says" you little fucker those kids are following your footsteps, you taught those bitches how to do it"   hmmm maybe I did
