a bit obsessive

i've been obsessed with an aray of activities that also happen to contribute to my procrastination. this includes, but is not limited to: surfing the internet about random useless information, checking my email (excessively), uploading/archiving family and homie photographs, listening to zap mama's ancestry in progress track #5, meditating, myspace (damn that myspace!!), reading anything/everything by august wilson and...thinking about gabriel.

i miss gabriel so much sometimes that it physically hurts. but we all miss him. i recently found a testimonial that gabe had posted about tito daniel. reading it creates this warm fuzzy feeling of energy stemming from the pit of my stomach and slowly travels to my heart:

"what can i say about daniel- or rather tito daniel, for he is as much a part of the family as lumpia and those really addictive cheese stuffed mushrooms(oh...i salivate at the thought...mmmmm...cheesy mushrooms...), anyway. From take out food at a Boston Denny's Restuarant (that was fun, eh?), to debates on the logistics of batman's utlity belt(i mean come on, he has to have more than just one..you can't fit all that crap on to just one belt...maybe if he were like a size 56 waist, but it's batman-he's not hat fat) to escaping to the basement to watch really corny action movies(XLG man, why wouldn't tom sawyer join the secret service?)to singing kareoke(you are elvis man, you are elvis)Daniel has beyond any shadow of doubtfound a place within the hearts of our family. and you know what? i'm really fuckin' happy about it."- gabriel dante cabasco cebrian.
