Rickey.org

Rickey.org is the official website of Rickey Yaneza.

My interests include American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, Project Runway, Survivor, Lost, Heroes, Ugly Betty and any other Reality TV show that matters. I play games on Xbox Live and my Nintendo DS.

Just a couple of years ago, I repaired computers in New York City for a living. Now I just live on the Internet.

Sometimes when blogging at Rickey.org, I am also on Rickey TV

My Wishlist on Amazon (I love gifts!)

I wrote this between my last semester in college and my first job. Needless to say, I had no clue what I wanted to do in life.

I am a Leaf

It’s been a couple of weeks since I wanted to write this, but I just couldn’t bring myself to write until now. The title says it all I guess: I am a leaf. A leaf that is floating in the wind, waiting for it to fall on a branch or a gust of wind to blow it away into some unknown space. I am a feather mindlessly drifting from treetop to treetop to stone top to housetop to rooftop to doorstop. Somehow, I have found myself in a state of suspended animation. I am doing nothing. Thinking, feeling nothing. Just a state of dormant existence. That’s how I feel right now: a leaf. My own creative way of saying what I’ve recently realized I’ve become… I am a bum.

– Rickey, sometime in January 1998
