Being away from home and having to learn so much in art and about myself as a person. My work has changed allot and i'm grateful for the support. Look forward to an extensive collection of work this summer! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wow!!! It has been a long time since i posted any of my work on deviantart! I have been extremely busy at RISD! Trying to show the school what i got! Things have been okay... I lost 25lbs and had a mental breakdown. Physically and mentally, i was exhausted and was ready to leave RISD. Luckily, i went home for a weekend and found the strength to set my mind straight on a path to success. I have met some amazing people at RISD! Everyone is sooo talented!!! The scene is a little boring and is hard to come by anybody with similar interests. I do feel like an outsider, but, i'm doing my best to fit in. <br />
<br />
I am still single. I found a person who i was interested in, but, walked all over me. I have yet found the time to get over the situation. Though, i have found someone who might change that. I really hope she will give me the inspiration and fill the void in my life at RISD.  I will definetly post new work when i get a minute of time to myself. Hopefully, the work is better then the work i just posted. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers! <br />
<br />
Shoutout to Carolyn, Monica, and Bennett!! Mah Dudes at RISD! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, I'm getting ready to leave. It is by far one of the hardest things i have to do. Even, as i write this entry my eyes are filled with tears. I am leaving everything i know to start on my journey to success. I believe the school has all the essentials i need for a greater purpose in life. Saying "bye" is always hard. Especially, when your saying "bye" to your loved ones. I hope the journey brings a better artist and person out of me, but, i also hope it is a short one. Until next time............<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, i have decided to leave deviantart............................<br />
<br />
NOT!!<br />
<br />
It is time to start a new chapter in my life. That means new friends, living environment, and art. It is going to be the toughest thing i will have to do in my life thus far. It is time to go to college! I'm leaving this saturday! I'm lost for words...... I'm going to miss my family and friends. It is time to learn more about myself and start on my career path to help my present and future family. I hope the journey will not be a long one. I hope it will open many doors in my life.<br />
<br />
So, until i get my computer this will be the last journal entry. <br />
Thanks for everything! <br />
<br />
Keep an eye out for a wide collection of new art from your Rican_wit_Soul. (That sounds real cheesy! LOL! ) ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey, I haven't updated much ,but, it is because i've been working really hard to pay for school. I had to pay $6000 per semester for school. Luckily, it has been cut down to $2,000 because i got an unsub. loan for school. That took alot off of my chest. It will be cut down to $1,500 if my mother gets our health insurance. I haven't found time to make time for myself. I wake up at 7' in the morning for work and don't leave until 6. Then, i get home around 7' to eat to then work overtime on home projects for work. By the time i finish them it is time to sleep and start the same thing all over again. Leaving, my weekends spent indoors sleeping! I wish i could get out to hang with family and friends. <br />
<br />
One exciting thing i did this past weekend was actually getting behind the wheel. I did well for it being my first time. My grandfather told me i did better then my aunt and father. Considering, my father ran a stop sign his first time and my aunt hit another car her first time. Well, that is my life for now.........how exciting!!!! (NOT....) Talk to everyone later! If i don't get back to your comments it isn't cause i don't feel like it but i haven't found the time.<br />

Have a nice day and a great summer! God Bless!! )<br />
<br />
July 1, 2005<br />
<br />
The day started off like every other day. We were all packed and ready to go to Disney!!! My sister, grandfather, and I went to pick up my Aunt Rosie who decided to work the day we left. As we pulled up into the parking lot of her job the car began to smoke. A part of the car broke and had let majority of the anti-freeze out. We were all so pissed and had to call Triple AAA. It was like we were not meant to go to Disney. We then had to wait for my aunt Marisol to finish washing clothes. Everyone was going insane. With all the things that were going on majority of the kids didn't want to go anymore. Finally, with everything that was happening we took a cab and my aunt mari's car to the airport. It was raining and our flight was delayed. Finally, after waiting for about two hours we took our flight to Orlando. The flight had alot of turbulence due to the lighting in the clouds. I was so scared because i could actually see it. We got there around 2 in the morning and didn't go to bed until 3:30.<br />
<br />
July 2, 2005 <br />
<br />
The day started off slow since everyone was tired due to the flight. We decide to go to Magic Kingdom to start off our first day at Disney. The weather was decent and we started off our first ride at the Buzz lightyear lazer shooting ride. My cousin Christopher went berserk! He was scared to get on but after all of his fighting he settled down and realized the ride was fun. It was a problem for the rest of the day. He was in fear to get on any of the other rides. But, somehow he managed to get on all of them this day. Later, we went back to the room and decided to catch up on sleep. <br />
<br />
July 3, 2005<br />
<br />
Typhoon Lagoon!!! Probably the best waterpark in the WORLD!!!! They have these enormous waves that come every minute and a half. I was in six feet and would end up in two feet from the waves. That day was very fun and i got burned all over my back and face. It rained twice whil we were at the park and made alot of the customers leave which left me with more room to swim. I got to take a pic with "Lilo and Stitch." Finally, we went back to Magic Kingdom to see the electric parade that i have waited six years to see. It was spectacular! There were floats with all of the favorite Disney characters on board. It was definetly a night to remember. <br />
<br />
July 4, 2005<br />
<br />
MGM Studios! My family and I wore the shirts that we made for Disney. While, in the park i found my limited edition Stitch pin. The day before i had got a lanard and a starter pack of pins for trading. This year Disney started a new pin trading event. Everyone can trade amongst co-workers at Disney. I started off with a starter pack of Tinkerbell pins and traded off with workers for better, expensive, and limited edition pins. It was a new addiction. I outran other family members to get better pins before they were taken. I started off with 4 pins and came back home with 15 pins! It was FUN!!! I got on "Tower of Terror" and had my heart in my throat the entire ride. I'm glad i went on. But, i think i won't get on the ride ever again. We replaced voices for Disney films. It was cool to hear my cousin speak for Simba while i spoke for Scar! We took pictures with Mr. Incredible, Mrs. Incredible and Monster Inc.! Later, i saw "Fantasmic!" The show is about Mickey fighting all the villians from other disney films. The day was super HOT!! The entire day we had to keep ourselves hydrated and cool by walking in and out of stores. Didn't see fireworks because we knew it would be crowded and we wouldn't have gotten home until midnight due to low amount of transportation back to the hotel.<br />
<br />
July 5, 2005<br />
<br />
Went to Animal Kingdom and Christopher was a PAIN!!! He was so scared to get on anything!!! We all wanted to choke him. I was so pissed!!! He is six years old, spoiled, Chicken, and gets his way by sucking up. Someone caught my attention on the bus for magic kingdom. The highlights of the day was the buffet at "Crystal Palace" and "Wishes" a spectacular firework presentation by the castle! The show ranks in the top three events at Disney. It brought a tear to my eye and made me feel younger. Dreams do come true!<br />
<br />
July 6, 2005<br />
<br />
My Aunt Rosie, Alyssa, and I went to Magic Kingdom early to see "Phillamagic." My favorite show at Disney! It is a 3D short film that has Donald Duck visiting Disney characters from Ariel, Aladdin, Jasmin, The candle from "Beauty and the Beast", Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, and Simba after messing with Mickey's... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, just got back from Exit Day and it sucked!!! What a waste of time. I could have been sleeping. The higlights of the day was hearing my friend, Clara, sing and the memorial of a fellow classmate who passed away to an allergic reaction. I basically sat and watched the same students get awards. I'm kind of upset because i was at VPA half the day and wasn't recognized for my High School. I know majority of the teachers and students. My program wasn't even mentioned in the yearbook nor were there pics of me hanging around DHS. Oh well, what can i do. One more day left!!!!!!!! Hello, SUMMER!!!! T2UL!

                <description><![CDATA[ I had one of the best days of my life today!!! All of VPA and CAT went to Puchinni's for dinner. The music was off the chain and i was dancing the whole night. Except for the occasional breaks. I was so sad because it finally hit that i won't probably see my family ever again! We got our senior awards and that means the end of an era. I also got the "Spirit Award" for VPA and I was honestly shocked. I was happy but shocked! I had everyone clapping for me and yellin my name. I felt like a star. It was a great moment. <br />
<br />
It was like yesterday when i first came to VPA and not knowing how far my talent was going to go. Unaware of the friends i would make along the way. It was a journey that i will never forget! I love you Nachalie, Sharon, Gisette,Denese, Elaine, Carla, Joon, Richard, Danny, Jessy, Jane, and Hassan! You all mean alot to me!!! As well as the teachers: Mr. Bradford, Ms. Ongaro, and Ms. Frazier! MEMORIES FROM THE CORNER OF MY MIND........... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I finally reached 500 page views!!!!! Thanks for viewing my gallery everyone. hopefully, i can make it up to 1,000 pageviews!!!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t!:" title="w00t!" /><br />
<br />
    I had the journal entry "It is Over" up for a long time. So, i decided to post a new entry. I don't think i'll be selling any more pieces. I have stopped at $795. Well, nothing in my life is new. Except for the arrival of my grandparents and the quality time we have spent. <br />
<br />
   Yesterday, iwent to dinner with my friends. I had a really good time until we got the bill and i got sick. Somewhere along the line people didn't pay up. I was only supposed to pay about $20-30 and ended up paying $60. I was upset but didn't want for anyone to know that day. I wanted to enjoy the rest of the night becasue i never get to go out ,especially, with my best friends. I was really hurt but pushed it aside. I still love everyone equally but that was the only money i had to my name. <br />
<br />
   I needed the money to get shirts for disney, dry clean my clothes, and get a book for my trip.  I really hope whoever owes me money gives it. I hate to get into arguments about money but damn i was jipped. I know people didn't pay the amount they were supposed to pay. I know the tip and tax screwed us over but people should have thought about that. I have a good idea on who paid their part and who didn't.<br />
<br />
   Earlier, in the day i received an email form a man named "chapman." He saw my work on deviantart and was impressed with it. He is interested in having me do illustrations for comic books and possibly starting my own! I am so excited! If things turn out good my all time dream of having my own comic book will come sooner then possible. So, Salvador Larocca watch out you might have just met your match! LOL! <br />
<br />
   Today, my class and I FINALLY took a class photo. We have never had a picture of all of us together. Tomorrow, is Richard's (Truehead) birthday! I want to wish him a great birthday and hopes he thinks really hard about the decision to get a tattoo. Only a couple of more weeks and i'll depart from my family. Majority, of them i will keep in close contact with and then there will be the few that i won't be able to. Not, because of my part but because of the person they are. <br />
<br />
   I'm looking forward to graduating in two weeks and four days! I can't wait to get the HELL out of Dickinson! Then, I'm going to DISNEY!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!! Til, next time! Be safe and God Bless!!! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, the show is over! We did really well considering the location of the place. The pieces i had for sale at the show are as followed:<br />
<br />
1. Through a Crack in the Door - $80<br />
2. Just the 4 of Us - $60 (sold)<br />
3. Broken Home - $200 (sold)<br />
4. Sirens - $25 (sold)<br />
5. His Fist - $125<br />
6. I Pray - $15<br />
7. Shadows Stir at Night - $20<br />
8. In Fear - $70 (sold)<br />
9. Sister - $40<br />
10. Adam - $100 (sold)<br />
11. Eve - $100 (sold)<br />
12. Ocean Avenue - $300 (In Talks)<br />
13. Party on Ocean Avenue - $100 (sold)<br />
14. Rosanna - $90 (sold)<br />
15. Eerie Night - $50 (sold)<br />
16. Clara - $20<br />
17. Tears of Eternal Burning Pain - $50 (Trade Off with Gisette)<br />
<br />
So, I made $795! But, I'm in the talks with a person to buy "Ocean Avenue" and my ten heads i did back when i was a sophmore for $250. I also have someone interested in my Three piece series from last year. I haven't discussed a price yet. If that happens i'll be at $1,320! I was told by people that i should have priced my work a little higher. Denese was told the same thing. Imagine, if we would have priced it higher! I would have had enough money to pay half of my college education for one semester. I also have commission for Ms. Marley. I might do over Adam and Eve for her.......I don't know yet. I'm really happy how well we did. I'm glad everyone showed up except for Hassan (who claimed "I'm going to be there"), Jessy, and Carla (But she was sick). I forgive you, Carla! lol! Talk to you later! It was a blessing to have had my show with Denese and Jane. Though, I don't think they signed my guestbook. I got to go check! <br />
<br />
I want to thank (LalaLottaLove) for devoting an entire journal to me and my artwork. It is an honor and i'm truly touched that she recommended everyone to view my gallery. I'm speechless....... Thank you! ]]></description>

Tomorrow, my group and I set up for our  show "Phantasmagoria." I still have to  make copies of my price list, finish  one painting in class, mount another  piece i finished this weekend, and make  my labels. I hope i can pull it off!  I'm kind of bummed that our work is not  going to be scattered around due to the  interview for Guadiello. Instead, we'll  have all our individual works on our  own panels. I got my outfit for the  show and I got the desserts ready to be  made. I'm gonna bake a cake and pick up  some pastries. I'll probably pick up  some chips as well. I hope the weather  is going to be nice and everyone makes  it. I'm going to be really busy this  week with the show and taking care of  my siblings since my mother is away for  the week. My aunt across the street is  going to check up on us throughout the  week.As of dinner, helping them with  homework, and making sure there up for  school is going to be all on me. So,  I'm probably going to be stressed.  Another, stressful situation will be on  the day of the show. I hope Gisette has  the get away car, LOL! Wish me luck  cause i'm truly going to need it. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The prom was okay....it wasn't as good  as last year. The set up was really  nice. I felt like i was in a rich  neigborhood. The music sucked!! I  couldn't dance to any of it. After prom  i was supposed to go to breakfast with  my friends nachalie and jasmin but  Nachalie's camera was stolen. She just  got it two weeks ago. I haven't talked  to her yet but i hope she found it.  That is basically it.<br />
<br />
I am officially going to RISD by the  way!!! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Nothing really new! I'm working on the  continuation piece of "Adam and Eve."  Adam is coming along pretty fast. I  have to reproduce "Broken Home" for AP  and still make enough pieces for my  show. That is what i'm really focusing  on, currently. I can't wait til the  show is over. Then, there will be  graduation and DISNEY WORLD!!!! I  haven't been there for six years now.  Where did the time go! I'm feeling  really old! I need something exciting  to happen in my life. I want to go out  and live my youth but i can't do that  here in Jersey. I could but i don't  feel comfortable around here. I feel  that when i walk down the street i'm  being watched and critiqued. I just  want to walk down the block and not  feel like i have to hide. Majority of  the people hangin out now are kids half  my age. It wouldn't bother me as much  if it wasn't all of Jersey. I used to  be the kid who was always  active,hanging with friends, playing  sports, and now i'm the bum on the  coach flipping channels. I used to be  so thin and now i can't stand to look  at myself. While, i was at RISD i was  jogging and walking down the street  like i was normal. I felt acceptd and  not criticized. It was quiet and  peaceful. I did miss some of the Jersey  flava but other then that it was great.  I lost ten pounds jogging up and down  those hills. People here won't jog down  these blocks alone or in groups. There  is always that fear. It didn't hit me  until today when i realized i really  have gotten fat. My friend called  another friend by my name. He took it  to offense (At least he made it seem  that way) and said "I'm not a spanish  fat guy." It was like my self esteem  was sucked from me, stomped 100 times,  stabbed from every angle, burning in  the pits of hell, and buried deep into  the earth's core. In my head i was like  "Wow, if he feels this way i wonder how  everyone feels." I need to just get a  boost of self-esteem. It also hurt  because the person is like a brother to  me and i felt that he didn't need to  announce that all in the open. What can  you do. I'm just going to have to get  over it. I wish there wasn't so may  prejudice people. I could never  disrespect a person like that. I have  so many diverse frineds. I treat them  all equally. Whether, they are tall,  short, fat, thin,homosexual,physically  challenged, mentally challenged, or  from a race and religion outside my  own.I hope this world becomes a better  place before my children are brought  into it. I could only hope and pray. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm working so hard on my artwork for  my art show but i'm having an artist  block. The work i'm doing is somewhere  along the direction i want for my show.  But, i want the pieces to be in your  face. I'm not getting that etensity  with these pieces. It is so confusing!  One minute i want things one way and  then something entirely different  within the hour. I think i'm over  stressed about it. I'm also tense  because my father and his girlfriend  (Shamu) might go! I know there is going  to be tons of tension between us.  Especially, since the first ten pieces  revolve around him. My mother won't be  there to support me neither. She'll be  on a motorcycle trip with her club. I'm  also kind of torn between the decisions  to go to school close to home or far  away at RISD. 90% of me is saying go to  RISD and 10% is saying go to Rutgers  where all my cousins went to school. It  will be close to home since my mother  is planning to move down there in the  summer. She has always been there for  me and i've always been there for her.  It has been my mother,sister,brother  and I for almost 10-11 years. I want to  be around for them. I guess i have to  paint the picture and see which school  will benefit me at the end of my four  years of college. RISD would definetly  help me more then Rutgers. I just don't  know!!!!I really need to think things  through. ]]></description>
