| I Am From...(Alvarez) |
[Aug. 18th, 2006|07:11 pm] |
I am from the curving, closely packed, hole-filled streets in which passing another car gives the impression of an accident waiting to happen to an inexperienced driver,
From café Yaucono, “confei” and adobo Goya,
I am from the air-condition-less hallways echoing the sound of the coqui in the concealing darkness of night,
I am from the growing Panapen trees accompanied by wide spread Flamboyan trees,
I am from never ending Christmas parties and seeking entertainment from other family members in the form of storytelling,
From the Carlitos, Papos, Titos, and Tatos,
I am from “se lo voy a decir a tu papa”, “deja que lleguemos a casa”, “te voy a dar con la chancleta”, and the worst of all, “Carlos José Guzman De Jesús…”,
I am from a home with a strong belief in God, yet I haven’t been to church in years,
I am from alcapurrias, mofongo, lechón navideno, and bacalao con aguacate.
From the time my brother dropped a toy car from the second floor and almost took my eye out, to the countless hours spent running and playing in the calles and barrios.
The overfilled tables crowded with photos of random family members,
The memories of the people that surrounded me. |

"There's no need to wish luck to those people who are guaranteed to succeed." - Ray Garcia
I updated my myspace, for anyone who wishes too see...http://www.myspace.com/ducatix
For those who are graduating this year i hope you have an awesome time getting drunk at college parties and get a shit load of new friends. Just remember to not forget your old ones in the process.
For the seniors to be, next years gonna be the best year of your whole highschool career. With Ric and Anya as President and Vice President that will be guaranteed.
And to everyone, I hope you have an awesome summer just chillin with friends or procrastinating till a week before the english assignments are due, two weeks before school starts. That sucks that seniors didnt get to be in the new building w/air conditioner. I hope the graduating class gets as far away from home as possible(omitting amy) so they can experience life. |

I recieved a National Award for my colored pencil piece that I sent in to scholastics. I didnt even think it would get anything, but it got a gold key and went to nationals. And it won something. But I dont know what it is. If it wins a gold key again it will be on display in the white house for a year, where only the president and his staff can view the winners. I just hope Bush isn't still president if that happens. lol. |

In light of the many perversions and jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke, it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.
Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her "How could God let something like this Happen?" (regarding the attacks on Sept. 11).
Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, "I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives.
And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?"
In light of recent events...terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found recently) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK.
Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school . the Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.
Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said OK.
Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.
Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."
Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.
Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.
Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.
Are you laughing?
Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they WILL think of you for sending it. Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.
Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard it... no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in!! |

| | Through Struggle - As I Lay Dying (Shadows are Security) | ] |
Forever your eyes will hold the memory
I saw your heart as it overtook me
We tried so hard to understand and reason
But in the one moment I gave my heart away
The perfect breath where my mind lay beside me
And all I knew is what had overtaken me
With no explanation
I am comforted by my inability to understand
When I wake from this dream will you still be here?
Will your smile still open my heart
And leave me trasparent? |
