Farewell to Moreno Valley warehouse . Inspired by my dear friends..?
Once upon a time on Jan 27, 2017 I was hired as a temporary worker , This place is a highly security facility , where customs border patrol agents check and sign the seizures that are confiscated. That first day I met Roger a retired master Chief and someone I respect very much, its funny he gave me a full tour of the place before the morning meeting. It just felt like home.. It really did,, and then I met Greg.. man, this guy is something else,, Even though he's alot younger than me , I respect him alot and to be honest that's a great honor because I don't respect too many people younger than me.Perhaps because of military experience or maybe because I'm a arrogant hard headed retired jerk.. ? Well it comes with the territory.. But anyways the first time I met him and kai, it was an instant attraction, not to sound gay,, But we just clicked,, Man .. we fools used to do tail gating in the parking lot,Whats that? Well its taking out our picnic chairs,.. and putting sun tan lotion on and sitting and talking about nothing. of course listening to country music... I'm not really into it, but like the Navy days,, I pretended.. hm.. I pretended alot in the navy.. It was fun times, we would see our other co workers like Brian.. hah he would look at us , Ike they are crazy ass vets.. I guess you have to be a retard to spend any amount of time in the armed forces,, Its not for everyone,, because it takes alot of dedication to be in an outfit that drains you.. physically emotionally. ok back to the blog.. yea watching gus and ricardo smile at us,, especially looking at roger he taught we were crazy,, oh that one day when Tracy went up to us., we all thought she was going to tell us to stop this ridiculous looking event. But instead she smiled and asked about my picnic rug.. She thought we were praying? Oh well,, then there was the other temps like Eddie spaghetti , quiet cool dude,, and Russell too , it was like one big party,, then there was B... she would stretch in front of us.. to be honest i was little uncomfortable seeing her do that? why. because I notice the other guys staring at her body,, .. but hey , I was too,, so no big deal,, but those were the good days when we got along.... It was cool place to work,, especially when Ivette had her farewell , it was really nice I created a slam book where I described everyone in the warehouse / office I told her not to share it , but she did ,, no hard feelings .. I remember Ricardo coming up to me and saying thanks .. and tried hugging me and I ran way saying I may act gay but I'm not,, I know it was cute ,, anyways? BUT THE HUGS AND KISSES I received from Ivette , man she hugged me tight and many times, in fact she would let go of me,, I didn't mind? Yea .. I'm a man for god' sake ,, hehe, But anyways,, It was nice how britney prepared a great meal,, Girl you can cook, I enjoyed it very much and your very pretty when you put on your pretty face, I think that one day I saw you in a football jersey and you put on that pretty face and I said you look good, I'm not playing you are pretty hot looking girl.. You had me paying afternoon .like I said . I'm a man for God;s sake,, Keep it up.. I really enjoyed the times you bitched about the fridge, I don't mean to laugh, but you can look so serious about that. I mean I feel ya, No one wants stinky food in there , i think I left some old thai food in there please take it out ,, sorry,, I forgot about it. !!
But anyways , Britney I'm gonna miss your quiet and strong demeanor , I wish I could be more like you, maybe in some ways I am.. but I got stereotyped in being the happy guy,, even though deep down inside , I was depressed? Yes.. its funny all of you guys thought he's happy go lucky , but only if you knew my pain,.. Greg , Ricardo and B.... were the few that heard my stories , heard about the heartbreaks , the misery I have been going through, they saw the tears and they all tried to comfort me.maybe I'm not a good friend depending on them to comfort me..Yea,, those 3 spoiled my ass. haha.. But I love them all , or at least I think I do? I mean you don't open to people unless you feel respect and love for them.. Even when they may have said or done bad things to me.. too sensitive,, I was but think we all are too some extent.. I know I'm way too sensitive and way too prideful for my own good. I always think , people need to bow to me. yup I think I'm so perfect, yeah right . My pride has lost many friendships,, I hope greg and ricardo don't lose touch with me because I love those two, they laughed at my dum jokes and weird impressions,, I wanted work to be like a fantasy land.. Because that's what I did .. Now for B.. what can I say,, every time I hurt or was insecure about things, this person stepped up big time. ! And now I realize I blew a good thing , by being too prideful , by being too attentive grabbing and being too dramatic,, I now know that you shouldn't do that to a friend that took time to make me smile , to make me special , to make me feel appreciated. It was real, it was wonderful, but my insecurity , my lack of patience and lack of maturity is why our friendship dissolved and died. ?! We let too many things go un said that finally it just exploded ,, or at least I let it explode,,but one thing is for sure , Thanks for the many hugs , and notes and of course cute smiles and flirty eye contact,, It was something everyone at work noticed and felt. I mean as hard we try to hide it , just look at our eyes. the love , the admiration and the respect was there.. I know you never disrespected me, its just my mind assuming things,, I should of asked you if something was wrong , or let you know certain things were bothering me? My fault, lessons learned for the future ? But anyways . I want to Thank Roger...For mentoring me and just being him, sharing Navy stories,, and gun stories I will always cherish,, we lived and stood the watch in the navy we had common ground and a bond that is unbreakable, I wish you well you deserve it Master Chief ,I respect you and I will miss you very much..
James-- man your a kind soul, a really laid back dude. I dug your vibe, To be honest I wish I could be laid back like you, But I'm too hyper.. But I loved you and Danny Boy,, reading the dear abby stories,, it was a daily ritual you did very well. I will miss you guys so much. I mean.. Its hard to duplicate things like that , but you two did make me feel special,,, The stories and the music knowledge Danny had was amazing. I will always Cherish those times, because its hard to find a place where you feel ..good,, It felt like home and whenever you leave something that was special its gonna hurt and believe me , I felt the love from you guys, Even if was only a few months I felt like I found a place I could finally stay and enjoy my life,, But like anything else in my life it seems nothing last forever, but it did feel like heaven,. I love you guys and always remember me in the good light , not the angry and upset one that left in frustration and confusion. It hurts me to write this , but like anything life, it seems the fondest things in life are hard to keep. Like the love i tried to spread to the office. I never tried to hurt anyone.But then again not everyone likes the Pleaser..
Carmen - Home girl. I really enjoyed singing the old school tunes,, Boys to men , New Edition, Switch.. and our talks about the old days,, remember ,, the garage parties, the pop lock ,, dances and the days when we used to talk to one another . not like now everyone is texting , or face booking or snap chatting, its a crazy world,, who are we? haha,, well I'm gonna miss your stylish dress up and how I would tease you about your clothes or hair, and its funny how we both colored our hair at the end.. I mean,, I know we both were very misunderstood people, but i think you knew better than alot of people in the office,, why? Because we grew up under tough times but we knew how to handle it, because we have the gift of gab, or just being real..I'm gonna miss you home girl.. I know you were misunderstood, but your kind of like me, we both feel things and we don't like to hide our emotions, but its funny how people think we always have to smile,, I know .. you should be professional, true , but when your passionate and emotional and sensitive, we get labeled,, but like you said to me many times,, FHuuyckyy%%^ them.. haha, your so peotic home slice,, Keep you head up and your dreams alive and if anything just think about mele mel and his silly looks or jokes and songs and dances,, If that doesn't make you laugh,, then just think about my silly ass arrogant upper lipped accent,, that would crack you up,, haha.
Tracy - What can I say , your a very good stickler to the rules and you have a great sense of how to run a warehouse and office. Once again I think misunderstood you , but I know how it is to be in charge in the Navy I had to assume a Officers positron because they was not around at the time, So I understand about having things being run properly ,checking data and ensuring safety and other concerns, plus the detail of handling work related issues,sexual harassment , hostile environment , complaints, mistakes , lost items, its a headache that always exist, Its a tough job to do but I can see you have under control. I admire you alot and it was tough to make alot decisions including my deal, Believe me , I hold no hard feelings , I understand its a business and everything has dollars and sense and business sense requirements. But nevertheless , it still was a blow to my ego and pride . Because I thought and everyone else for that matter telling me I got the position . But it was fun doing the interview, a bit strange because I knew you and Roger and you got to see another side of me , you didn't know existed,,My professional certificates and degrees and my experience was overwhelming. I just wish things could of worked out. Because I really loved the office staff.. you , Roger , darren, Gus < ricardo , Richard , carmen , brian .. Britney , Ivette. . it was wonderful, But if anything I want you all of you have fond memories of Mele mel or the Pleaser,,, I did love and care for everyone even it meant taking time away from my life. I worked late to help roger, I did it because I wanted too. thank you Tracy , thank you and if the an opening comes up, who knows right? Thank you and I wish you great success and happiness at the work place I miss already..!!
Ricardo- My pare ko. which mean home boy..friends .. in tagalog,, What can I say about my pare, except i enjoyed your passion for me,, God you tried so hard to get me hired, i should of listened, but I think I was too indecisive, kinda like my twin,, we both shared that quality,, its too bad I wasn't more decisive, but its ok.Perhaps something will come up,, Keep me updated,, ok, Well those talks about life and food, we did lobe those lunched at pinoy food place, and thanks for the buffet that was great I owe you big time,, You did make the office exciting . and I do love attention maybe too much,, I know Tracy didn't like that , I know I need to learn to be more office style, like more reserved,, Perhaps I will learn, pare,, But anyways,, Be cool and keep the office hopping. and stay out of the sun,, ha,,ha, Its a trip your from the islands and your afraid of the sun,, haha, kidding bro,, but I wish you well and I will never forget our talks in the parking lot in the warehouse the texts and phone calls believe me I appreciate it all, It helped me deal wit my issues, Your a great friend I will never foregt you ever..
who else? oh yea. Luis,, amigo the quiet advisor , your a great man, I respect you because you were focused on doing your job and being a family man, That's admirable and I know you think I'm loco loco, crazy ass vet , but you always paid me with great respect. I will always remember your sincere smile and your looks when you saw the crew tailgating in parking lot,, Pinche fools huh/? haha..\
Jaime - you always laughed at Greg and I . called us all the demeaning names , but I know you loved us,, in your own strange way,?? I will remember you always as the elder man that didn't give a shit,, !!Like me in some ways. ? because we lived the life and who the hell is going to tell us other wise, Yup hard headed stubborn old men,, Horny old men,, is what you called us? haha,,
Manny - dude , you a cool dude, I think you think about women too much,, not a good thing because I'm not sure alot of women know what they want? But they do know what they dont like? Well anyways, it was fun, listening to your stories,, You did make me laugh,!! I know I have a sick sense of humor, and at times I was quiet,, and you would say whats wrong? Sometimes CNNneeds to take a break.. But I wish you well,, Your gonna be alright just focus on the job more and improving yourself . You still young enough to achieve what you want to do, You just need to focus ..
Brian- dude you make me laugh especially when Greg and I would sing, you would make those rude comments,, its too bad we couldn't work together I think we would laugh our butts off with our twisted humor,, I still trip out that you have a muscle car , I love the color, we both had black beauty's,,I wish you well and keep the office happy you have a great demeanor that the office likes, I'm gonna miss you running to the warehouse bathroom i did it too,, haha. Good luck and enjoy your life,,always,,
BENZ-- TWIN.. Well what can I say that I havent already said and written, we both know made each other lives happier even for a brief time. it was cool , it was surreal , unreal.. I know everyone at work, tripped out on the two coolest and happiest , cutest , and most helpful and caring people,I know they sensed the love and trust and respect we had or still have? We always wanted the best for one another even though I think we were so insecure about what was happening? which was a special friendship that many at work were so envious and jealous of. I mean we made it look so easy and sweet , sure , It seemed to be too good to be true, and maybe it was, ? Fairy tale, dream like state, I mean how can anyone be so close and trusting of our thoughts , ideas ,our hopes and dreams. I will always cherish the many hugs and kisses and the many smiles and words of encouragement. It Will always be in my heart,, we didn't have to say it, because we felt the love and admiration we had, its was wonderful, and its too bad everything comes to end. I really hoped we would be assets to the office and show our smiles to everyone, But its ok.. everything happens for reason . Despite the quick end, I didn't get to hug and kiss everyone,, but then again I hate good byes,, and perhaps its better this way,,No not really, I wanted too see everyone smile and cry, ?!/ well take care of your family and special someone,, and always think of the great times we had, the laughs the jokes the high fives, the singing and dancing , the weird comments and of course the too many similar events? It was short lived but I will always cherish every moment and I thank God , whatever reason, you helped me grow up and get me back on track on focused and being Mele Mel, he was hidden for months until I got to this place, Thank you and may God Bless you and your family and never forget that we are twins, no matter how hard I try to forget or run away or think otherwise ?? Take care and if you get sad , think about my many jokes or lousy singing with Greg ,, haha, or the gay talk,, okaay,, haha Farewell and Take Care my friend, I believe our paths will cross again??!!
GREG- MY BROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER,, what can I say about my male twin, we both did sports n high school ran cross country we wrestled, we attention seekers, we both love music, we both love to sing and dance, i bet tracy has many tapes of us doing weird stuff, yes we are buffoons ,but lovable, I will remember the long talks at lunch and at breaks, it was cool watching you hit the boxing mitts in the parking lot and listening to music, sitting in each others car going to lunch, i still remember paying for your car wash, or going to walmart to buy oil for your car. Man that was fun. I'm gonna miss you man, I know I kept saying it, but it finally happened and I didn't get a chance to say good bye to everyone, I so wanted to see everyone smile and cry ,, Because I wanted to make a final speech, but its ok, I will make a final blog to you guys, be sure to share with everyone.. Because I already miss you guys, The laughs the jokes , our silly comments, so funny? Some maybe not , I;m sorry to everyone had to endure it . We felt we had to make a statement every time we walked in the office , I know Roger tripped out on us.. Well brother from another brother, always cherish our moments because what we had or did cant be duplicated, we had a special bond and friendship that I know is life long and though our time at work was brief and fast I will always cherish the many great talks we had and the lessons we taught one another, man,, bro I'm gonna miss you alot, it might sound gay and I don't care,, but I love you man,, we shared s many great times I know we helped each other deal with the stress of life, we both helped us,, get through daily events, I wish you well in your fitness goals, go for it bro and I want to attend as many events possible before this old ass man kicks the bucket,, yea, this old guy is going to live forever, oh. I wish.. I don't eat enough or rest enough or sleep enough to live a long life, Plus I worry too much , to live a peaceful long life, just saying.
