Gangsta, Abu Ghraib and Café Oquendo
As I sat by myself I decided I would at least try and find something in the house and if I couldn't find anything I would at least have given it a shot. Really I don't have much, most of my stuff is packed away and stored at my Dad's. My best option, or so I thought, would to be an Abu Ghraib torture victim. I had an old sheet, which I think was supposed to be black but is now bluish. I got some speaker wire and ran it through my sleeves so it would dangle outside the sheet. Really it looked just ridiculous so I scratched that idea.
I ended up being a Gangsta of some sort and was really proud of being able to pull something off. I think (e:metalpeter) will probably post pics. I went to (e:three)'s company party only because I didn't want to be out that late, they live super close and (e:mike) was there. I feel bad for skipping out on the other party because I really love them and they have great Halloween parties. Had a good time and (e:metalpeter) and I were terrible at beer pong. Thanks for a great party!
I found a new coffee that I am in love with. Actually, I got it at Latina's cause it was cheap. It's called Café Oquendo. It really reminds me of the Cuban coffee I so loved every morning at the convent.

Rumors
Here is a sampling of the rumor...
Elizabeth Feeney: "I thought I was going to lose my food."
Rob Macko: "Who did you hear this from?"
Elizabeth Feeney: "A friend told me his sister told him that she heard it too."

Moss and Responsibility
At Buffalo State yesterday I noticed all this stuff falling from a tree. I'm thinking to myself not again, but then I notice there is a squirrel fight. They were trying to cause physical injury to each other to get a nut or other morsel from the other's mouth. It was disturbingly violent. It seems like maybe some of the squirrels secret stashes have been disturbed. I think (e:leetee) is concerned about this as well.
Is (e:neckbreaker) a Buffstate student too?
People are asking me to take on roles requiring responsibility that demand commitment. What do you think about taking on more responsibility? Not necessarily job related but for something that you don't have to do. Responsibility makes us stronger beings. Likewise, when getting physically stronger, it also doesn't happen magically. I don't want to bail out or not perform my functions if I accept the responsibility. I have to decide tomorrow.

¡Dios mío! ¿Por qué me has abandonado?
¿Deseas una A en la clase de Dr. Neira?
Primero hay que rogar a dios
Saberías más que los chinos
Jesucristo da me la A
Estudantil y listo será
Ruega a dios todos los días
Si me das la A, no pecaré nada más
Cree en el padre, el hijo y el espíritu santo
no es difícil ganarás tanto
Los que están más cerca a dios
Por cierto son los más ricos
Todos los días de la semana
Ruega con la fuerza de una hermana
Nada más necesitas
Sólo dios nos da benditas
UPDATE
A request is made for translation. I didn't translate cause it messes it all up, but here it goes.
Do you want an A in Dr. Neira's class?
First you have to pray to god
You will know more than the chineese
Jesus Christ give me an A
Smart student I will be
Pray to God every day
If you give me an A, I will never sin again
Believe in the father, the son and the holy ghost
It isn't difficult, you will earn much
Those that are closest to God
For certain are the richest
Everyday of the week
Pray with the force of a sister
Nothing more you need
Only God gives us blessings
So yea it sounds dumb in english, but I thought in spanish it was clever. It is sarcastic of course. It kind of plays on a class discussion we had. It isn't an attack on anyone's faith.

Power restored
Today made a trip out to Williamsville. Got to see Hillary Clinton cruise around in a hellicopter checking things out. Williamsville was pretty bad just because I think they have more trees. Every tree seems to be affected. It really is difficult not to have power and I worry about those who still don't. It is so much harder if you are elderly or have some type of problem.
This has all been very eye opening.
Happy Birthday (e:lilho). I'm sorry to not be able to celebrate with you and everyone else.
I saw (e:decoyisryan) today. He said all three of them were with their families. Good to know they are warm, although they could have power now?

some things
The rain is nice right now, very calming.
Snow soon. I wish I had X country skis to get around in. Maybe some snow shoes too. Winter is not my thing, but I guess I have no choice.
Having off for Columbus Day was nice, but why the hell is this a holiday?
Now I have to get to the impossible task of understanding La Araucana.

Nuclear Orgasm
Has anyone seen the first report regarding the successful test from the N. Korean News Agency? The woman who is delivering the news to the people looks like she is having an orgasm. It is sort of creepy. The North Korean army also freaks me out. Their marching is so scary.
I'm not too sure that the Bush administration refusing to dialogue with them was the best thing to do. What is so wrong with at least having talks with them. I'm not saying for sure, but maybe this could have been avoided. A deal of some sort could have been made in exchange for access by weapons inspectors into the country to provide assurance that they weren't developing nuclear arms. Now it is too late, but I still think it is time to start the dialogue. Further sanctions, maybe, but talk first. Who knows what they could do now if they are pushed further into a corner.
