I've actually been somewhat busy, but with nothing really important. I'm still enjoying work, but I really do think I could go for a nap mid-day. Maybe this is due to writing my entries mid-day when I'm thinking about that nap. We have about one more month at this location before we move on to our new location.
I really don't have a lot of updates, but I'll write anyway. When I get sad I buy things. It doesn't matter what, just something that I feel will change my life and take all the worries away. It is ironic how I'm sad about the fact I buy things and those ramifications, so it is kind of like a vicious cycle I should stop. I'm doing good right now, but it isn't really my choice.
When Abram was in town he was telling me how when he is awake doesn't want to sleep, but when he is asleep he doesn't want to wake up. I think that was a huge part of my insomnia, except when I'm awake at night I don't want to sleep and when I'm asleep in the morning I don't want to wake up. Other times I'm fine sleeping, but this whole having to live in the real world thing doesn't let you just nap and sleep as you please.
Angie T read my blog the other day and failed to leave a comment. She told me that I was too emotional on my blog. So I quickly jumped up and started to write this emotion based response to her accusation. I don't agree with her, but I rarely do. Bob where do you find these friends? :)
So I'm watching Grey's and I'm feeling like the show has lost its spark, I mean I just don't seem to care as much, yet there I am watching, so who am I to say anything. Well the introduction of new characters is always a big deal for me. When Addison came in, I hated her, oh man but in a character sort of way, not in a why did they add that character, but who she played. Then I fell for her and now watch her Private Practice show even though it isn't too great. Then there was Torres. Her well I did not like for many reasons. They fixed things when they brought in Lexi, I mean she is so cute (see Halloween Episode) that you can't help but like her. But this past week they brought in Rose, I was sold. My first thought was, wow. Meridith who? I know nothing about her, yet she is my favorite character already. Boys are funny like that. Why am I talking about TV like it is real? Is this good for society or bad for society? I guess it makes me happy, it's a good escape.
Today I got a forward of: Baltazar Arispe y Acevedo Jr., Ph.D., (a professor at the University of Texas-Pan American, Edinburg) latest “Postcard from La Frontera” which is an op-ed piece that was published in Fort Worth Star Telegram. Check it out: So what will go down in the Valley?
According to the Intercultural Development Research Association, there is a cumulative 46 percent dropout rate in the region's public schools; 62 percent of children have no health insurance and might have even more limited access to health resources as a result of the president's veto of the SCHIP legislation. A continuing economic impediment is that the region's median income is, on average, 35 percent below the median of $37,000 for the balance of Texas as reported by the Texas comptroller's office.
This region links the futures of the United States and Mexico -- but it cannot and will not fulfill its potential in its current state of disenfranchisement."
Equal opportunity how? It will always be my home.
Say what you will, Chuck Norris Facts are Awesome. Still not a Huckabee fan, but I appreciate his willingness to be funny. (Huck is my third best worst evil to Ron Paul, then McCain, Huck, Romney, and then Giuliani.)
