A little bit about being back
Things are pretty good here. Remembering the same old headaches, but also basking in the pleasures of the good things. Traffic, trash, pollution, and bureaucracy being among the most annoying. The first three seem to be worse than I remember it being, but that is probably because we are living in Iajia's house, outside the city- and I have never ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: B.Y.O.B. Holidays
I feel that the world would be a better place if all children had loving and caring parents. And I wouldn't even put a bunch of expectations on them either. Parents can be gay or straight. Religious or secular. Married or not. Rich or poor. Adoptive or biological. Just that they put their children first, care about their well being, and love them. ( Read more... ) -
Happy Thanksgiving & Some Good News!
1. I have something to be thankful for. Well, I have an uncountable number of things to be thankful for... but now I can add EMPLOYMENT to the list... but hold it... I haven't accepted it yet. It is the position where I am working with a company in the business of selling online educational study materials. I really loved the environment when I ( Read more... ) -
Ok, some stuff I don't like about Mexico
1. The classism. So I guess we have been having "class wars" in the U.S. right now, but it isn't as petty as it is in Mexico. You must look nice at all times in public in Mexico or else you'll be looked down upon-- and that isn't as important as being treated sub-class, which really is worse. And it also seems to affect a little bit the ease of ( Read more... ) -
A Move Towards Progress
Iajia talked to his mom yesterday to wish her a happy birthday. A bit into the call she gave him a come-to-Jesus moment. I love her come-to-Jesus moments because I ALWAYS agree with them ( Read more... ) -
What I Miss About Mexico
I think I was at my skinniest and healthiest, and maybe even happiest when I was there. Probably the only downer was the lack of job opportunities for myself and thus the lack of some extra income we would have liked. Not that we are fairing to well state side, but that is a different matter ( Read more... ) -
BOGO Economics
Buy One Get One free.... that is how I feel. I am such a deal that I'm a steal. Houses aren't the only thing that has lost value.... but workers too. These days you can get two workers for the price of one ( Read more... ) -

Pool Shooting
I always had the fear of a school shooting in the back of my mind...
and people would ask me if I am afraid to go abroad or cross the border in Mexico or live in Mexico. But no other place leaves me more fearful for my life than right here in the heart of the good old U.S. of A. where just looking at someone wrong could get you shot. Yea, I said ( Read more... ) -
Science Almighty
Just an interesting article on something I have been thinking about recently. I definately respect science- as I respect religion and while both have good intentions once you add the human element they both can be abused. "Science says..." or "studies show..." might be someday the "Almighty Science". But I hope to write more on the idea later. For ( Read more... )
