Feed back needed...

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 21:55:17 GMT

Hey I've been working on my site for awhile now. Been trying to add more but lately spending more time playing video games. Looking to see if anyone still reads this LJ and if so could give me feed back on the site, john-michaeldelvalle.com. Looking to see how I could somehow get my friends page to work on wordpress.

Also looking to see who still active. Lots of people use to use LJ but have no idea if still do.

New Journal!

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 21:48:31 GMT

Alright it's been awhile since I've posted here but have some BIG news. I'm looking to get back into writing and keeping a blog (guess thats they call it now).

I'll be posting tons of stuff and it will allow me to post all sorts of different things that LJ limits you on. Hope you guys will check it out.

Theres something called RSS which will let you keep track of all my latest post also any other site with RSS feeds. It makes your life easy instead of having to check tons of sites daily for updates. Suggest you all to check out RSS. I'd goto more detail but sure you'll all be able to figure it out or already have.

Donde me fue?

Thu, 27 Sep 2007 04:57:11 GMT

It’s back. I don’t know where a large part of you hides but it’s possible we’ve all been through it probably and if not we probably will. I think of it as I stare into a mirror and know that authors know they might have a great book inside them but they don’t see it in them as they sit down and write. Even now that I’m in front of computer to write the whole conversation I just had with myself in the mirror but now it’s all gone. All I can think of is that the conversations with me are back. Life seems as if you feel like you know you are living for something but when you get closer to it you forget what you even wanted out of it. Now I think to myself everything is how I wanted and I’m enjoying it. Artist want to be out in the world free but my mind is free even if my body isn’t. I am a dreamer even if I may not see it myself sometimes I know it’s inside of everyone they have a dream. I use to write and write and even when the concept is something I had wanted back. I know it’s something that you can’t see in you but you know it’s still there. I’ve never wanted something back so much in my life yet I could do nothing to bring it back. It’s as if the whole dream I’ve wanted brought everything but left out that. I can’t explain why or even have an explanation of how it works out like that. I believe in the things I want to. Never could I explain how or why I chose what I believe it’s just something that makes us who we are. I hate how we and especially including me judge others on what they believe. We all know we aren’t perfect but we want to be and believe that what we always think is right and don’t want to openly accept that we are wrong without any proof. Granted even in all my writing and assumptions in it I could be completely wrong but it’s just what I see. Of course I could be wrong but it’s not as if I’m going to think hey I’m completely full of it. I guess what I’m trying to say is even if we don’t know if we are right why do we always think we are? I know it’s extremely hard to say I’m wrong.

I want to create something. Don’t know if something is correlated with being depressed in me on my creativity. How horrible is that? One’s creativity is only bond to if you are feeling like crap. Even before I started this I was ok. My return wasn’t based on depression and it made me feel like I had an opportunity to free myself from those chains. Now I guess no one will believe me if everything really happens. It’ll just be another story that will be told and you’ll all think I’m full of shit.

I'm done with finals....
First semester done with at FIU.
Not many more ahead in my undergraduate study. -=)
I can't sleep for some reason. I assume its due to not sleeping till late last night. Quite excited about the trip to Cali. Just hope nothing happens to us. I'm sure we'll be wasted and going crazy. Problem will be not losing each other in the crowd.

We officially named the kittens: Capri and Cambri.
They've been adorable. They poop a lot and make a mess yet I still love them. Something about their little faces and purrs just get to me. Still can't believe I have little pets. Walking to my car after finishing up with all my finals I saw a baby kitten who looked just like one of our ran by me. It made me so excited to be going home to such a beautiful family.

Time to try to get some sleep. Its going to be a long flight I'm sure. Plus waking up at 6am won't help any bit either. Lots of pictures coming soon I assure you.

nueva adicion a la familia!

It’s been quite some time since I’ve written in my livejournal or written period. Life has changed quite a bit since I’ve written. Nichole and I have moved to Brickell. It’s definitely some place I never would have thought myself to live. Granted it’s an amazing place to live but me, in Brickell? Nah. Sure enough though here I am typing away from the 15th floor in Camden Brickell. It’s been great so far and couldn’t be happier sharing a place with Nichole.
Work is work. I’m still at Circuit City Home Entertainment. I can’t complain it’s a super chill job, co-workers make the time fly by, and the department manager doesn’t have any major flaws. It’s a decent pay check as well so that’s that.

The best part of my life right now is Nichole. They’re always obstacles to overcome when you first move to a new city and those hurdles have been jumped. Now it’s just time to acclimate to your surroundings and find people you can trust and spend time with. We’ve met a bunch of new people since we’ve been here but still seems like it’s always just us two. Call it a trust issues but it just seems like no one meets our credentials down here. Don’t get me wrong it’s not like we’ve been trying too hard. We aren’t the biggest party animals at all so it limits how many people we really do come across. Not to mention sometimes you just don’t want to deal with the whole effort and time into getting to know someone.

School is the third thing that takes a large part of my time. It’s Finals week and to be honest I don’t feel that stressed out. Granted I need to read and study a lot but it’s nothing too crazy. Can’t believe the semester is almost over. For being my first full semester at FIU I’ve enjoyed it and made a friend or two. I enjoy it more due to the fact that I just show up to class and leave. It’s not like USF that you get caught up with people and end up sticking around campus just hanging out wasting time. Now the last real thought about school is what my major will end up being. Lots of people have been telling me I should do finance but Nichole is getting a Masters in that. I’ve been considering maybe just doing it as a major and then doing Masters in Accounting or MBA. We’ll see… We can never really plan life out just go on the flow with it.

Considering I’d split my time into three: Nikkie, School, and Work. Life seems balanced. I either do work or school and come home to Nichole and the Fishy. Well for you people who know me well enough to say JM will never have a pet besides a fish at most… Nichole and I adopted two little baby kittens! They are only 6 weeks old and couldn’t be any more enjoyable. I’ve been worried about the complaining and noise they would make but so far they have behaved like little angels. Bringing them home together in the car they were silent, giving them a quick bath in the tub they gave a few meows but nothing excessive, and they Love us like crazy. The only thing is the boy LOVES to poop everywhere. I want to call him poopsie but don’t think that’s the best name for a cat. The girl loves to wonder around and meow at me when she pops out of the bathroom. I never thought in my wildest dreams I’d have two little baby kittens. We still haven’t come up with names for them… So far I like Tai and Chi. Maybe Ava for the girl but not sure what for the guy, Alex?

One thing I’m really looking forward to is flying to California on Friday. Coachella!!! I’m really looking forward to seeing Bjork, Rage, Explosions in the Sky, etc… It’s going to be the first time I visit California. Won’t really be able to spend time there besides the concert but still. It seems like we are always planning something now or out. A couple of weeks ago we were in Key West with some of our friends. This week-end we’ll be in California. Nichole was talking about possible trip to Atlanta next week-end but doubt it happen since I have work and such. Memorial Day week-end we have a trip planned already. The week-end of my birthday we are going to Puerto Rico for a family reunion. Nichole is planning a trip to Chicago to visit one of her friends. This is the life… Beautiful girlfriend, traveling, school, and living in the middle of a large metropolitan city.

cual es su sueno? este es el mio

Wed, 21 Feb 2007 18:57:31 GMT

Time passes by so rapidly. I never thought I would ever live to be so close to graduating college. My whole life I have lived with the idea that I would be returning home, Heaven, before my life really got to a full start. It's quite a shock to be 21, almost done with undergraduate, dating someone you see your whole life with, and determining what I will be doing for the rest of my life here on Earth.

Started wondering if I've full filled everything I've wanted to have at this time of my life. I'm not one to ask for very much but very fortunate to have received much more than I've ever wanted. Yet that doesn't mean that I've done, gotten, accomplished, or started everything one would put expectations on thierselves.

As far as my track on school. It could have been done by now but everyone has slack time to take into consideration. With due time that will be finished with. My religious life has been quite the pendulum that sways back and fourth. Right now I'm quite excited with my faith since I've finally have diven myself into The Left Behind Series. Next on my list would have to be significant other and Love. I always told myself since my first official relationship that I would hope to find someone near the last year of my undergraduate studies. Spend at least a year with them and get married. To my surprise things have been thankfully working to that exact track. Of course I'm not done with schooling and not married yet. Now if you were to ask me how things are in the Love department, I would probably tell you the most vague answer possible to how things are going with Nikkie. Things that anyone would think of with any thought process - knowing how we moved from Tampa to Miami. But I'll answer the real question for you, Yes I plan on marrying Nichole for all those who have heard things or seen us together and talk about it.

Now that leaves two things in my mind that I would like to write about: Friends and Travel. These two to me aren't something that I believe play a crucial life and death in Life. Of course these two things I believe to be very important in a complete life in my ideal world.

As far as my friends are concerned I grew up with the saying in Spanish that goes to a translation of "The people around you define the type of person you are". This is obviously referring to your friends. Now the way I view myself and type of human being that I see in a mirror is not one who is very extroverted. I value friendship in a manner few have come to understand. It's not that cheesy idea that you all probably have read when I write about respect. Respect is a given to me as far as it is concerned. Truth is most of my friends don't have a set mold nor do most people's friends aren't the same due to the fact that every person has personality and mood for different things at certain times. My biggest thing about friends is acceptance. The passion or interest a friend has in you. The people I would probably call a real friend is one that may not talk to me very often nor ever even see at all but who actually follows up about my life and calls, texts, stops by just to randomly to wonder how I'm doing. I do not have many REAL friends like that. So I purposely start the paragraph about the saying in Spanish but truly live by the saying if you can count how many friends you really have on two hands you have accomplished a lot. Truth is I can't right now probably. Why? Well reason is probably due to the fact that I'm not a people person. Majority of people love to party, drink, dance, go out, etc... It's not my type of fun. Don't get me wrong I do these things and would be wrong to say I don't enjoy them at all it's just not what I crave. I would rather spend time with that person one to one talking, walking around, running around, listening to music, etc... Call me boring if you'd like but I can't deny that this is who I am. Majority of my real friends are the extroverts and I'm the opposite to be there when in the time of need or comfort.

Travel. In the past months something about Spain has me enamored. Just went on an online tangent if that even exist on looking for a Barcelona soccer jersey. In life I want to be successful to give my children everything I was given and be able to see the world. I haven't really done much traveling in my life. I've been to a few locations that I can even list on here without it being out of control: Boston, Puerto Rico, Skiing in Colorado & Utah, Tampa, UF, FSU, Key West, Chicago, and St.Augustine. At the end of April i'll be making my first trip to Califorina for Coachella. Califorina is a place i've always wanted to live since i was a kid. I was always shot down because my mom would freak out about the earthquakes. I won't really be touring the state but just enjoying the concert, just like with Chicago (Lalla). I'm just thrilled to go with Nichole to Califorina. Spain is truely some where i plan to visit in the near future. Another place that i plan to visit in my life time is Capri, Italy. It is said to be one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Chances are i'll be visiting that location for my honeymoon. I can totally see myself in Rome, Capri, Venice, etc.. right after i'm married.

Now for everything like this to come true would full fill most of my life goals. Of course even if we were to check everything off our To-Do List we wouldn't have accomplished everything we dream about but atleast it would give a sense of living life and having something to show for it. It's easy to fall into a role society has seemed to have created. Chances are i'm truely not that much of adventure but i sure know what i would like to do with my life and don't view as dull as most people would. Just have to remember not to sweat the small things and consintrate on living life with a smile as much as possible.

Volver.

I'm back. It's been awhile since I've written on here.
It's a new year and its a time for new beginning as everyone likes to say. The past year has brought many new things.

Things are going amazing. I can't complain.
I have a lovely girlfriend which we are madly in Love with each other.
My health is all right, nothing seriously wrong with it.
Her health is up and down but nothing to worry about.
I'm about to start at a new school and quite excited about it.
Finally over with USF. Yeah FIU isn't anything too different.
I'm just glad to be in a new environment.
It seems like I've gotten a new chance to take over the world.

I've lost many friends in the last year and sure to lose more in this year. Yet all in all I know I'll still have those certain few with me along my life even though communication isn't done 24/7.

I have a job at Circuit City. I'm in Home Theater so all I do is sell TV and Home Audio. Not going to lie it's pretty slack. I enjoy being able to help people out with technology. Not to mention the rush of ringing up a $5k+ sale is always fun. It's weird though. As much as I was told to be aggressive and attend to customers at Oakley and hated it, now I do. It seems like everyone there doesn't seem to give a shit and makes me want to just show everyone up in sales even if I'm the new kid.

I'd like to say that I'm a proud owner of a Playstation 3. As much as everyone talks trash about it, I don't care. It's definitely something I'm glad to have. Yeah I do wish I would of waited to buy a tv with 1080p but hey who am I kidding. Technology is moving faster than ever. In the next year you'll probably see 1440p TVs. As well as the PS3 I have the Nintendo Wii. To be honest it's lots of fun with people and Zelda is amazing but that's about it so far. PS3 > Wii.

To be honest with you, I'm a little let down on myself. This entry was in hopes to cheer me up a bit. So if it came off as even more arrogant as usual well then there's your explanation. I've been a bit down because of my lost of interest in books, movies, music, and culture. Lately all I do is work and play video games. Don't get me wrong I took Nikkie to the Nutcracker Ballet a couple weeks ago and Loved the music and theater. Yet it seems like my true deep self is a bit confused since technology is the hot thing in my mind as of late.

My new years resolution is to get back into books, music, etc...
I already have some plans in the works but don't wish to mention due to spoiling surprise for Nikkie. One thing that I'm looking forward too greatly is this new movie called "The Curse of the Golden Flower". There are many other things instored for 2007 like Justin Timberlake Live w/ Nikkie. But hopefully these other events that I have in mind will finally cause a shake to bring me back to normal and with even more passion.

My latest thing is getting back into design and web development. I'm starting a new project that I'm looking forward too. Hopefully it will be a success. Nikkie and I are always behind a computer it seems just working away. Maybe when Oblivion comes out for PS3 I'll actually see her playing something besides work 24/7.

Well it feels good to be back to LJ and witting.
Must run off and take care of the chicken on the grill.
God it's really comforting to know you make the meals for your woman. It's a weird rush. It's as if you have more of a purpose to life when you are making food for someone else besides yourself.
