So for the past couple hours I’ve been downloading some of the music that got erased from my ipod and some new stuff. I decide I’m going to take my dad’s old bachata/salsa/merengue CD’s and import them to itunes. As I’m flipping through the Cd’s I find some pleasant surprises.
Bob Marley
Mozart
Beethoven
Billy Joel
Micheal Jackson
I guess his taste is...

My feelings for a person change almost daily. However one thing that I’m almost always sure about it whether or not I want this person in my life in the future. In his case I’m sure I do. I really don’t care what happen, who we meet, and where we live. I just want him to be there one way or another. I hope it turns out that way.
Realized I’ve been on vacation since the 23rd and still haven’t written a single thing in any of my journals.
Tomorrow is the day. I know the one I’m going to write in, and I know what I’ll say. Can’t wait.
Irrational
I get really upset and worked up when I see someone make a decision that I don’t approve of. It seems like most people would brush it off. I on the other hand think about it for hours maybe days depending on what the decision/action was. I know it’s none of my business, has nothing to do with me, won’t affect me in any way, I also know that only because I don’t agree with...
My parents bought me a book shelf the other day. My dad and brother put it together today so I started to organize all my books. Apparently I have a lot of writing reference books. SHOCKER. I have quite a few faith books too. I’m so proud of it. What sucks is that I still have 5 boxes of books in the garage and no where to put them. I need a bigger room darnit.
Today I went to my sister’s house after not seeing her for months possibly a year. It was also the first time I saw my nephew Aaron, her third son. He is ADORABLE.
The cutest part was me taking a picture of my 21 year old brother standing up and carrying Aaron who’s a few months old, Isaac (7 yrs) with a HUGE smile standing in front of Hansen, and Isaiah (3yrs) sitting on a chair with...
I never could trust a New Yorker
So I’m walking into my train station and I walk past this couple (teenagers), I pay them no mind and head to the turnstile. I take out my wallet to get my metro card and I feel a tap on my shoulder. The guy was handing me a metro card. I just said “what?” Yea I should have something like “excuse me” but I had my ipod on and I was a bit confused. He said...
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
This is an incredible movie. Crazy concept, great acting. I really don’t know what else to say. You must see this movie.
This is definitely a creative way of portraying love.

I just imported 6 albums into my Ipod.
Mario - Turning Point
Ne-Yo - In my Own Words
Drake - Thank me Later
Chris Brown - Chris Brown
Usher - Confessions
Nelly - Suit
I remember listening to each of these albums on my CD player, at home and during long car rides. I must say it’s bringing back some crazy memories. Plenty are sad, but there’s a few brilliant moments. There will...
My email to my brother
Hello Mr. Cuevas, Attached to this email are my poems and my short story. Each was written for my Creative Writing course at New York University. Thank you so much for taking the time to read each and supply me with feedback. Thank You, Rocio Cuevas Coordinator of The Universe

Last page of my story, and I can’t think of a decent ending. I’m so emotionally exhausted I don’t know how to break yet another heart. This is so upsetting.

E’RYDAY AM HUSTLIN’.
I really don’t like the phrase “______ is easy.” Not the phrase “_____is easy to me”, that’s different. Just that it’s easy. I especially dislike this phrase when it’s said right after I finished saying that that _____ is difficult for me. If you really think about it this person just called you an idiot. Anyone who finds ___ difficult must be an...
I’m SURROUNDED by successful people. All who have given me great advice at one point or another. With God and them, I just don’t see myself not achieving something. I would say ultimate goal but I’m not sure of what that is just yet.
Today me and my brother wore the same outfit for church. Black shoes, blue jeans, and a gray crew neck sweater. This was NOT planned. I repeat this was NOT planned. We both refused to change our outfits so we went to church that way. He seems to think that when he tapped me on the shoulder today to wake me up, I looked at him and thought hey that’s a nice outfit for me to wear today. Yet, I...
I still get excited when your screen name pops up on my AIM. I get sad when the post-it note, cell phone, or “zzz” are in front of it. My eyes light up when you put a new status because at that EXACT moment you are on the computer and could possibly IM me and we could start talking again.
This semester, I’ve met a few people that I admire. People that seem in control of their lives. I don’t know them at all really. I can only tell you their names and maybe their majors. However, from what I’ve been able to take note of, they seem to be moving forward. To what I’m not sure, but there is movement. I hope to achieve that sometime before these two years and a...
My big brother has me feeling like a queen.

Weight
So a few days ago I tell my mother I want to gain weight. First she said I’m fine the way I am and that I’ll regret it when I’m older. I didn’t think it was that big a deal.
This morning she tells me I’m eating like an animal, and now she hands me a weight watchers ice cream. What’s even weirder is that not too long ago she was complaining that I don’t...
A part of my second short story
“He’d left her a surprise, like he did most mornings. On the stove there was a bowl of oatmeal with a cinnamon heart at its center. A neon pink post-it next to it read: I know you have a busy day today so I thought I’d add some love to it. She liked his cheesiness, reminiscent of a love she lost years ago. “
I’m reviewing it and editing it for class. However, a wise...
Creativity
One of my better friends sent me a birthday gift which is by far the most unique I’ve ever gotten. Its a rubik’s cube, but instead of colors it has pictures of us on every side. These aren’t any ordinary pictures, they each represent a special moment or time we spent together. I was speechless when I got it, and took my time looking through each picture. And even though a picture...
So I downloaded some albums and listened to about 5 songs on repeat. All of which I heard before. Then I stumbled on the song Home for the Holidays by J. Cole and literally fell in love. I will now be listening to one song on repeat.
The gears are turning today, can’t stop writing. I use the term “Christian” way too liberally. I do consider myself religious. I have read the bible, I don’t know it as well as I should though, considering I’ve been listening to the stories and reading them since I was about 6. I attempt to live like a Christian, after all Christianity is, or should be a way of life...
