A view of Houston downtown early morning!

So I'm sitting at Barnes & Nobles, trying out the new Writer.app and I'm thinking this is the best writing software ever. Maybe writing is not fun for everyone but anybody can have fun writing when you're using this application. I gave it a 9 out of 10. The coolest feature is the way how the wrong words are deleted, they're not really deleted, they're just scratched off like in real world, using a real paper and a pen. Darn, look at all the mistakes I have made so far! Okay now let's get into something more real!
I have been coming here for about two months now, almost 4 times a week! Spending time in a bookstore, nice, isn't it? Anyways, the funny thing I noticed today was that I meet different people everyday or see different people everyday. So I guess I'm the one with no life! Everyday, it seems like there's always a loud person in this room. They're usually annoying to a lot of people but personally I think they're just interesting since almost all the time, the loud person is always full with energy and enthusiasm. I feel like they're there to balance the world, make the environment neutral!
As I was sitting there looking around, no that's not the only thing I do there, I noticed this guy on the phone. I knew he was flirting with some girl right when I saw him. He probably was in his mid-thirty's, had a baseball hat on, and the smile he had on his face, priceless! He kept moving around, picking up books randomly, looking at their covers and putting them down. I don't think his conscious knew what he was doing at that moment. His mind was somewhere else for sure. Was it a girl that he met couple of days ago at the gym? who knows!
Then there was this girl, she was Asian and pretty too! She had one of those lime green ipods with a lime green headphone! I wonder what's her favorite color is! She had this bottle in her hand that looked like a Budweiser bottle, maybe not that tall. I would say it was more darker and she was drinking something out of that bottle. I don't know why I even noticed it but maybe back in my mind I just thought of an idea to sneak in a beer into a book store! I know what you thinking and the answer is no, I'm not alcoholic. I should've asked her what it was, who knows, maybe it was root beer!

I play baseball, yes I'm not a typical guy, now you know! Well I was walking into the field and I just looked up in the sky and I realized how much I missed baseball while I was away for two months. I love baseball, maybe I suck but who cares, it's the most beautiful feeling when you just walk out to the field and smell that green grass and see the sunset. Every inning I walked over to my position, oh by the way I play shortstop, I looked up at the sky and it had the most amazing variation of blues and grays, even I saw some greens too. At the top of the 7th, it was all black. I took a deep breath and the feeling of the fresh air was priceless. We won by the way. Now I know the reasons why I love playing baseball every Sunday night!

Finally, it came around. The day of awkwardness. Mother's day, Father's day...these are the most awkward days in my family. They're very funny too. I love my parents and I will do anything for them. I love my mom and I want to tell her Happy Mother's day but maybe it's because I'm not used to that whole greeting thing, I just can't. But you know what they say about mother's, if they can carry you around for 9 months, then they can read your mind too! So like always, she read my mind and gave me a hug. That felt good and put an end to that awkwardness, hopefully forever!

I love dreams. I dream almost every night. I don't know if it's because I go to bed looking forward to a dream every night. They are usually funny, sometimes they're romantic, and sometimes they create a whole new world for me. Nothing's wrong with dreaming and I do believe they can heal you but in which way? It all depends on how you want to be healed!

How is everyone doing? I was at the doctor's office and I was reading an article about how we, the Americans, are so behind when it comes to wireless technology compared to European nations. We're so far behind that Sony Ericsson and Nokia don't even want to sell their phones in U.S. I am a phone maniac so I bought my Sony P990i from London through Ebay about 2 years ago when it first came out. I love my phone, it's the best. I never wanted to replace it till I saw the new Xperia from Sony. I'm telling you, it's a sexy one. Anyways, I was just going to say how I
never got a chance to use the full functionality of my P990 till I went to India earlier this year. I used Idea and got their gprs connection which was very cheap, less than $10/month. I was getting my emails in my phone inbox, I was accessing my favorite social networking sites while I was on a road trip and I was sending mms everyday, all for not even $10/month. I realized how much more I love my P990i during those days.
Rockets are finally done for the season after a loss against Utah in Game 6. The only life Rockets showed was right before the game reached the half time. After the half, nobody showed up for the Rockets. Anyways it was a good season, I enjoyed it. It was fun watching them becoming a part of the history with a 22 game winning streak this season. Our players are great people but I just don't think they're the right pieces for the Rocket's puzzle. It is the 7th year in a row where the Rockets are being dismissed in the 1st round of the playoffs.
