I really wanna but...
It's been way too long. Way too many things have happened since the last time I blogged. Life is surely taking it's course. I have changed, my family has changed and the weather has changed. I'm overwhelmed contemplating where to begin in the blogging process again. I want to blog but then again... I'm just so damn busy that I barely have time to catch my breath, nevermind blogging...
I'm busy. I do still care though. I hope everyone is great. And please don't forget about us.
Oh, by the way, WE ELOPED. Yep, married. Happy!

Martin Luther King Jr., I love you!
"Martin Luther King jr., I love you!" that was what Casper shouted as we were playing soccer in his front yard and I couldn't agree with him more. We always have a great time with the Neverazes. Music, beer, RC cars, food, laughs...I could go on and on!
Every so often Lindsey and I talk about our "ups" and "downs" of a certain time period, the day, the weekend, etc. and this weekend I had plenty of both.
Downs...
1. The relentless downpoor on Sunday afternoon sucked. Jerome and I were on a roll with the Ford early in the morning until when we were haulted by God's tears.
2. The Cowboys lost. (Honestly I didn't watch any of the game so it's not too much of a down.)
3. Lastly, My Dina family was shifty as always. ehhhh
Ups...
1. As soon as I arrived into town Friday night I was ambushed. Sergeant Lindsey headed up a nerf-gun assault. Those who accompanied her were Private Casper, Private Jack and Private Benny. And guess what they were aiming at....my Privates. It was fun but not for my nugget pouch.
2. Lindsey and I were blessed with a couple hours out without Sunny. Thank you Sasha and Jerome. I'm not going into detail about it though, those times are ours.
3. Finally, the last "up", was making the decision to get the hell out of Dina Sunday night. No offense to you Stupee-Da'nubee's (as Lindsey's uncle would say) but it is an awesome feeling to see Dina in the rearview mirror and Redondo Beach on the horizon. Monday was then spent relaxin to the last 4 episodes, season 2, of Entourage. Dope!
I took a couple pics of the Ford with my phone. Its the Holley 2 barrel carburetor and the soon-to-be beautiful 312 V8 Y-block that will drive the Mendoza family to the beach. (You can't see but my eyes are closed and I'm smiling.)

Free Time
So the girl and the boy are in Dina this week giving me a bit of free time. The one thing I always wish I had more time for is drawing. I made it a point to get a couple pieces done or at least get them started. I finished a HAND that I started sometime last week that I am really proud of. Anatomy is a bitch to draw especially when your trying to do it while pretending to be busy at work. Kiddin. Sort-a. I've done hands before and they suck this one is decent.
B-Boi is growing up pretty fast and is looking cute...just like you-know-who!
Enjoy the following phone pics.
This HAND was done with pencil on printer paper. Inexpensive art is my forte.
This SUNSET is my first attempt at using pastels on sketch paper (18x24). The pastels are similar to charcoal, messy! I want to more so I can get better at it. It's fun. I'm working on another with flowers that I hope to finish before my boo gets back.
We drank some cheap Riesling wine and got totally shmaded last weekend. That is the type of inexpensive people we are. Tatoos with sharpies on the neck were inevitable.
He says CHEESE at the same time. Funny boy!
Handsome like his Pop!
Right here he is wearing a shirt I had when I was a baby. DOPE!
I only watch football when it's playoff time. This year the Cowboys are there, sweet.

1957 Ford Fairlane 500
Dad here and that damn 57 Ford is on my mind. The saga of the Ford has haunted me for years. I've sat in the driver seat and have pretended to drive it since I was baby. My goal is to get that car on the road. One way or another I will be driving it and soon.
This weekend I will be in Dina to check out the status of the car. Hopefully I've prepared enough to not be too overwhelmed. I know it needs work and work is what I plan on giving it, along with a butt-load of money. The exciting thing is picturing the family cruising the streets of So-Cal.
Lets see how this plays out. I won't let this saga go by the wayside any longer.
