Does this mean trouble?

6:41am this morning.I am still in bed, reading my RSS feeds on my BlackBerry instead of being in the bathroom to get ready to go to work.The wife and the baby are also in bed, sleeping. All of a sudden, I hear the wife calling me:

TW: Aliti?
Aliti: (grumbles)
TW: We didn’t even celebrate on July 27 the 10 years that we met…
Aliti: Hmmm…

Yes, it’s been 10 years already (that long?) that we met. And even if I did remember and somewhat celebrated the date in the beginning, nowadays July 27 is like any other day. But for the wife, it is of course a whole different story. I think it will make more sense celebrating our 10-year anniversary next April rather than having had something last Sunday.

Do you (still) celebrate the anniversary of the day you met?

Till then

Homesick?

It’s grey, it’s raining outside.
It’s quiet and beautiful and it almost looks like back home.
And I want to go home.
But, where is home really?

Till then…

Well…

Well, it did work. I was able to finally post something from my BlackBerry.

I am disappointed because I thought I was going to be able to use my phone to write about things in real time. I always complained about the fact I would see things or have something on my mind and write about it while still fresh in my mind and not wait till I got home. I could always write down on a piece of paper but it’s a hassle. Anyway, we’ll see if I can tweak something and speed things up.

Till then…

Maximum frustration

I have a BlackBerry and I love it. I can, most of the time, surf the Net as if I was using a regular PC. But try to post something here and it takes forever to get to the page. And now I remember that I had once written a long post and not being able to save it. Will it happen again?

Till then…

#$^&*()(_)_*^%!!!

I am a Democrat. I have never hidden that fact and I am a registered as a Democrat voter.

My last name is a real Latino name. There is no way I can be mistaken for anything else.

It is a known fact that Latinos tend to vote Republican.

Today, I found a nasty piece of trash in my mailbox from the “Partido Republicano de la Florida” threatening me with the following message:

“If the Democrats win the White House this November, THE UNITED STATES will be unrecognizable.”

Now, WTF???

Because the last 8 years were the most beautiful and prosperous years the country has ever had? Because I really feel safe and full of hope for my children’s future. Because another 4 or 8 years of the same thing will really make things better. Because going from gas at $1.19 a gallon to over $4.00 is making good progress. Because people losing their jobs, houses, basic freedom and more is actually the way to go.

So, I will censor the comment I wrote on that piece of dung and send it back to these people. And next November, I will make sure I cast my vote for the Democrat candidate hoping he’ll be our next President.

Till then…
