1. As a child, who was your favorite superhero/heroine? Why? I remember we watched “Los Super Amigos” with my friends, the one where all the heroes were together (I don’t know the name in English, sorry). I guess I always wanted to be some kind of nature-related person because my favorite guy was Aquaman And I liked Batman too!

A few days ago I said that I had some kind of (big) news and I didn’t want to say anything before I was sure for not to jinx it. Well, things are done and planned now: I’m going to Colombia! Yes, again… but this time with Patrice who asked for his vacation and considering my trip in November was in a very sad moment and I came back in a rush, we decided to go and be with my family and spend quality time in my loved country.

I’m so excited! Talked to my sister in law and we’re going to go all together to meet my uncles and aunts in Bogota. A big family reunion I will enjoy like a child because it’s been a while since I saw my cousins and their children for the last time. We don’t know what this year will bring with the drums of war playing so hard, and we want to enjoy the company of our loved ones.

Yesterday when I said to Patrice “I hope the war won’t mess up our trip” a colleague told me not to worry and enjoy the present moment, keep living and hoping and be happy for being able to do this trip. I think he’s right and now I can’t wait to take the plane and go to my Colombia. My mom doesn’t know yet, but this is going to make her so happy I feel like crying… ha ha!

Random rant: George Warmonger Bush is more evil than Dracula for God’s sake! He’s like a thirsty vampire looking for blood , he sounds pitiful trying to get support from other nations to wage his war against Iraq. It makes me sick, he’s like a begging sheep, a spoiled brat throwing a bad tantrum “I wanna go to war! I wanna go to war! Gimme! Gimme!”. First, this is not going to be a war, but rather some kind of genocide because it doesn’t take too many brain cells to understand that they are going to smash that poor country like a roach. Big bullies, that’s what they are… Mr. Bush and Mr. Blair.

BTW, did you know that 84% of the British people are against such attack? I wonder: we, the people, the citizens, the voters, the ones who trust the leaders to put them in power and take the reins of our countries… Why don’t our voices count once they are up in the presidential/ministerial chair? The more I know human beings, the more I love “irrational” animals; that’s if you can call these two warmongers human beings. A little information bullet: Al-Qaeda Terrorists are building dirty bombs… how nice! I remember reading how they are waiting for Iraq to be attacked so they can commit their monstrosities again. But heck! The war against Iraq will make the world a safer place, right?

To close this entry, I invite you to read the Bogus Reasons for War on Iraq.

Yesterday I found this fun Slogan Generator at Heather’s a decided to play with it to find me some nice taglines. Then I added a little script for random page titles; reload the page to see what BeaLog has to offer. My favorite? “BeaLog: The Other White Meat”, LOL! View source if you want to grabe the code.

Also, if you are interested in an Online Users script, make sure you check the one at EOT Networks, a good alternative to the Fast Online Users script that goes down so very often and is now generating evil pop-ups. [Link via Kymberlie]

God, I love Pierre Foglia. He speaks as if he read my mind and I’m going to take the liberty to translate his last article in La Presse. Then, I’m going to be brave and send him an e-mail to tell him how much I admire him for speaking the voice of many!

LET’S NOT BE COWARDS - by Pierre Foglia © La Presse

I read a call to the weapons in the National Post this weekend… Let’s see… I think I’m starting it all wrong, it was in French, thus it could not be in the Post, it was in Le Devoir, excuse me. I start again. I read in Le Devoir of Saturday the chronicle of a lady who said that it was necessary to make the war with Saddam. And why should it be done? Because, explained the lady, it would be coward not to do it. Quite simply. Translated in the language of the barracks: Let’s show Saddam that we have the balls.

I’m having trouble with my webhost and I’m getting tired after weeks of annoying error messages. This morning I found my big 404 Ouchie! when trying to access my cgi-bin. I annoyed me to no end and I’m seriously thinking about switching webhosts (if they don’t fix it or put my account in a better server), but I’m totally afraid of the whole move.

Update: I got a response from Tech Support, and as always I ended up feeling like a little witch for being straight forward with my demands, especially when they told me they had read my blog and that they were sorry I was having problems Anyway, they are going to switch me to another server and I hope things will be fine (crossing fingers). Thank you, Tech Support!! You see, this is one of the reasons I’ve stayed with them all this time… they are good and this glitch is so uncommon that I got afraid things were going down.

I had written a long rant would’ve offended more than one proud American with my harsh remarks about their president and how I don’t believe in any of the reasons their government has given for the pre-emptive action against Iraq, after I read the “State of the Union” speech. I lost it… twice! I hit the wrong key, closed the window or went to another website and poof… gone! I won’t write it again because maybe it was little message, you know, stay calm.

I just have one little thing to say: The consequences of a war with Iraq will be devastating, not only for people in the Middle East, but for Americans as well. The U.S. is not Superman and anyone who thinks differently is completely out of their mind. Unfortunately, we all will know what these consequences are because the U.S. war machine is unstoppable, merciless and corrupt. There is nothing we can do, not even get mad just the way I got. Insults won’t make us feel better, war won’t make justice, war won’t keep America (or any other country) safe. The blindness and arrogance of some people makes me want to pull my hair out.

Questions: If the U.S. has the military intelligence, the super-spying tactics and the technology to track down the WMD Iraq supposedly has to the point of saying they can present clear proof to the UNSC, why don’t they use these things to get rid of Saddam and his horrible regime in a silent and sneaky way without killing so many people? Or why don’t they tell the inspectors where the damn weapons are to be destroyed instead of bringing the world to such madness? Disarm? Yes, disarm everyone, even themselves and stop their double-standard Nuclear weapons policies.

Oh God! I got cold hands and teary eyes reading this link I found at Brian Kane’s .

The bodies of U.S. soldiers killed by chemical or biological weapons in Iraq (or future wars, God save us all!) may be bulldozed into mass graves and burned to save the lives of surviving troops, under an option considered by the Pentagon.

Apocalyptic images come to my mind and I wonder what Americans who have family members in the armed forces feel when thinking at the possibility of their loved ones being bulldozed and burned after being killed with the horrid weapons their own country has in stock too. God gracious! But no… let’s go to war, people! War is good, war will make justice, war will make us feel good, war will save who the heck, war is what we want, yeah! Those bulldozed and burned soldiers will be “just” war casualties. How does that sound? I’m nauseated.
