The One I Love

For the longest time
I have been playing this song
solely based on memory.

I have attempted to find this song on the internet,
and try to figure out the artist who sang it.

But just like every other thing I search for on the intarwebnet,
It gave me more than 3 million results
which has nothing to do with what I wanted.
And since I am the king of procrastination and laziness,
I immediately gave up and pursued other important things on the web.

Anyways,
Not until my friend, Nikki
Asked me if I could play this one,
and even gave me the lyrics and a YouTube link,
That I realized,
I have been playing it wrong for so long.

And did I correct my mistakes?
Hell no!

But that’s what makes it “my music.”
All the mistakes.

So when you listen to my playings,
Think of the mistakes that you hear, as art.

A beautiful, mistake-ful art.

Just like Britney’s kids.
I consider myself a mistake too.

Everything about me is wrong.

Oh, shut up.

How much more?

The lady who gave birth to me,

also known as,
the lady who wouldn’t stop cooking

has been here a week.

And I have already gained 5 lbs.

The woman needs to stop.

Wait.
I take that back.

It’s Pochero tonight.
Yesterday was Crispy Pata.
And probably Kilawin tomorrow.

My God!
My arteries.
They’re clogging!

PS
–Thank you to all those who greeted my son, on his day.
I truly appreciate it.

Home is here.

My Mom arrives here today, for a visit.
She’s going to be here for 2 weeks.

And as I have always said.

HOME is where MOM is.

It does not matter where that is.
If she’s there, then that’s home.

Now that she’s here,
this can only mean two things.

1.) I am soooo going to have some good food!

and

2.) The kid is sooooo going to get spoiled.

..and maybe Tyler too.

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!

“Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada, Ty?”

I was actually asked that question, a couple of years ago,
when we moved here to the States.

You see, I am not quick witted enough.

All I answered was,

“Yes, we do. But we have it in October.”

What I should have said was:

“Yes, we do. But only on Thanksgiving.”


I guess I didn’t say the latter because,
everybody perceives Canadians as polite and proper.

But in all honesty, I did not say that answer because,
I live in the States now, and people here have guns.

And they will use them.

So, this Thanksgiving.
I guess I am thankful that I am still alive.

For now.

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!
