Well, guess things are worse than I thought.
Moving in with my grandmother, because I now have no place to live.
And to top it all off, I have just used my last few coins to come to the cyber cafe to send a couple of emails and blog.
I don't know when I'll be back again, but I hope it'll be soon.
Money's non-existant, and I'm gonna have to ask my parents for money to pay for Frankie's Christmas present.
I don't want to be a downer for everyone though. I seriously hope you all have a great Christmas, Hanukkah, whatever. And a great New Year.
Love to all.

After a long wait, I'm back, with a non-death in the family!
Have you waited for me? I don't know, maybe.
But as my best friend pointed out to me, not 10 minutes ago, to write in this blog I must write in this blog, to write about "what's in my head, no matter what".
Where to begin, oh where to begin??
Let's start with my life.
Unfortunately I lost my job, this sucks serious bananas. Moron bosses didn't want to pay me what was agreed upon, and they wanted to withold the money either way, so I told them to find someone else. Now I'm looking like crazy, because if I don't find a job very very very soon, I'm gonna have to live with my grandmother (OH GOD, not again!!!!!).
Frankie and I are having a great time together. He's such a smart kid. Day before yesterday, he and I were playing in front of my parents summer house, when he asked me "Papa, what's nothing?"
How the hell do you quantify "nothing" to a 3 year old!??? It's such a deep question. Shows he's got more brains than his old man.
On another note, I met this amazing woman a few weeks ago. Met her through a Uruguayan chat. She and I click on sooooo many levels. She's a year older than me, she's finishing her pre-law degree (here in Uruguay it's the equivalent of being a Notary Public), and she lives close to my parent's summer home.
We have a great time together, and we care for each other, but we're both coming off long term relationships, and we both have a lot going on in our heads. This woman fills my thoughts, I long to call her constantly, just being near her makes me smile.
Just so I could spend some time with her I've been helping her study for her finals. Yesterday we were together about 4 hours, studied for about 3 hours and just talked for the last hour. I was floating.
On to other news...
Yesterday, once I got to my parent's place, I said hi to my mom and I noticed that she had been crying. I asked her what was wrong, and she asked me if I knew Frank. I was floored, the only Frank I know is mine and Gabe's friend in Canada. When I told her yes, that he was a friend in Canada, she then asked me if Frank was gay. I had no idea where this was coming from, but I explained that Frank was anything but gay, he's married and has a young child, he cheats on his wife constantly, but always with women. At that point my mom says "Gabe's mom committed suicide on Wednesday". This was all coming out of left field.
I was floored.
Apparently my dad had received an email that Gabe sent, congratulating my sister on Joaquin's birth, and then added that his mom had killed herself. He then went on to explain that he and Frank had become very close this past year. He wished everyone a Merry Christmas and that was it. My parents believed that she had caught Gabe and Frank in a sexual situation, and had been so distraught that she had killed herself.
I freaked.
I didn't think it was possible for his mom to have killed herself, and I knew for a fact that neither Gabe or Frank were gay, quite the contrary, they're both very homophobic and macho to the point of trying to screw every woman that passes in front of their eyes. So I rushed to a Cyber Cafe, to check my email and read this letter for myself.
When I finally read it, I understood.
My father, who is a very smart man, but was never great at reading English, had read the email wrong. Gabe had wrote "On a sadder note my best friends Mom killed herself on Wednesday".
My dad, translating into spanish in his head, read "On a sadder note, my friends, Mom killed herself on Wednesday".
I rushed to a phone and explained to everyone that Gabe's mom was very much alive, that it was Frank's mom who had committed suicide.
We were all very relieved.
That being said, I would like to add something. I know that Frank does not know about this blog, and neither does Gabe, but this must be said. My heartfelt condolences go out to Frank's family during this sad time for them. Frank was a very good friend while I was in Canada, and I am quite sad that he and his family must go through this during the holiday seasons. All my love goes out to you.
So as a final point I say this: During this holiday season, hold your loved ones close, cherish the moments you have with them, because we never know how many moments we will have with them. I plan to do this wholeheartedly. Regrettably, I won't be spending Christmas with Frankie, since he will be with his Mom and her family, so I will be spending Christmas alone. I prefer it this way, since it will be my first Christmas without Frankie since he was born, but I will cherish to the max every moment with him.
Love your loved ones without reservations. Show them, tell them, enjoy them.
