Current mood:

awake

I've been thinking a lot about the future of our Dominican heritage moving forward. "our" meaning the family. I don't know why I've been thinking ahead but i really want my children to experience the same thing i experienced as far as the feeling of knowing that your a part of something different and that who they are represent a past of rich history, might, oppression and freedom. being in the south bronx, although i hate it, its sooooooooo familiar to me. all the merengue that plays in the streets, the loud spanish ppl, the smell of fried food practically everywhere. the summertime having the fire hydrants opened and the children playing with the water. the sound of mister frosty. the pariagua man. I dunno. I want to pass that on sooo badly. whatever, its more then likely gonna happen if thats all i know.. which is soo.. the bronx is all that i know. its a part of me. i speak like it, i am fascinated by it. Im intimidated by it. And i loath it. All at the same time.

im getting my headshots done again. when i come back from Florida im taking my picture and giving it another shot.. persistence is what its all about. i do feel good about it.

I was thinking about what my dream role would be. And i know precisely what it is. Portraying a Peurto Rican civil rights activist from the seventies. Representing the young lords. A group of twenty somethings whose goal was to find equality in new york city for Puerto Ricans and Dominicans. there slogan was "palente seimpre palente". I remember seeing that documentary about them in latino heritage class and it gave me chills. All of those hispanics that came together in the 70's to fight oppression literally went national. Good lord. If i could even audition for something like that i would be soo thrilled. I'm meditating on that for that role to come my way..

I got to Florida next week Wooo!!

My diabetic cat is doing great by the way!
