Since I’m getting hits from Google when people search for “Kansas City, FARC, Marcha, Protest” - I want to invite all of those who are interested to contact me and see if we can go out on Monday, February 4th to say NO to the FARC.

Rediff News just in, thanks to Babs:

The hugely successful American boy band New Kids on the Block is reportedly preparing to reunite after 14 years. According to People magazine, the members of the group, who broke up in 1994, are ditching their respective professions to make a comeback in the music industry.

Should I scream now or later? And YES, I was crazy about NKOTB… I’ll be loving them forever… And I’m not ashamed to admit it.

One of our local librarians tagged me a few days ago, and I’ve been too lazy to do this. But better late than never.

The Rules:
a. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself
b. Tag seven people to do the same
c. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag “whoever wants to do it”

- I clean up my browser history and cache every night before going to bed. I hate electronic junk.
- I chew on my lip and get pleasure from it sometimes.
- I have to organize the cushions on the sofas every night, or I’ll go to bed feeling moody.
- I always check the mailbox around 1:30, even if I know the mailman hasn’t stopped by.
- I hold it and hold it until I start getting angry. I know I have to go pee. LOL
- It doesn’t matter how messy my desk is, the pile of papers is always organized.
- I never leave dirty dishes in the sink overnight.

I can’t think of anyone to tag right now. You’ll excuse me, I GGP.

Hugo Chávez makes me laugh sometimes. He makes me angry most of the time, but there are moments when I can’t help but think how stupid his actions are. He’s boisterous, he has no class, he calls the FARC his friends, and he definitely has histrionic aptitudes. For anyone who’s not informed, all this yadda yadda may make no sense, but I feel like posting about it.

Venezuela’s president denounced that “someone” had plans to assassinate him. Guess who the “someone” was? Yeah, hah! He is now accusing Colombia and the U.S. of “plotting” some kind of military attack against Venezuela. And sure, he would LOVE that. He claims the revolutionary armed forces are his friends, so wouldn’t it be just wonder if he could attack Colombia from within?

I know that my views may be simplistic at times, but I think we all have the capacity to analyze and observe the actions of others and their reasons. I see a Hugo Chávez crazy about trying to get control of the region that was once La Gran Colombia (Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Panama). His plan to change the constitution in Venezuela is failing, so he’s getting attention by other means.

I do not see a leader trying to do things that will benefit anyone. I see a madman with the idea that he is the reincarnation of Simón Bolívar, trying to do what HE THINKS is good for the region and stepping on everyone’s feet.

I have wanted to set up a weblog to make restaurant reviews, but I’m simply too lazy. I have enough weblogs on my command already. But when I saw that Chimpotle had a Yelp account, I went and signed up. I’m having fun with it, I have uploaded a few photos (since I take photos of everything) and I have a few places to review later.

Because I don’t have enough things to obsess about, I have created My Mini-City: It’s called Bealalaland, and it’s in Colombia. It started with a little house in the middle of nowhere. Now I have a few streets (not paved), some posts, and farming land.

Click, click, click! I need more population.

A good argument with your spouse could be just what the doctor ordered. Preliminary results from a survey of married couples suggest that disputing husbands and wives who hold in their anger die earlier than expressive couples. (Yahoo! News)

OK, I love love love my husband. It doesn’t mean we don’t get at it sometimes. You see, we’re humans, we have disagreements; I have a short fuse, he’s got a strong temper. And while he would like NOT to have any kind of argument ever, I once told him it’s bound to happen. Otherwise it would be boring to be on the same page all the time. Yeah, I’m probably a weird person, but from personal experience I can say that I prefer a blowout from time to time, and not someone bottling it all up for years until freaking H bomb goes off, with devastating consequences.

One of the things John likes the best about me, is that when we have a fight we talk about it, we find the solution right away, and then I forget the issue and won’t mention it again. I like the fact that he won’t be happy until things are OK between us, and we won’t go to bed angry with each other. He’s even been late for work a few times because I give him a hard time, he simply won’t let it go until the fight is over.

According to this study, we’re going to live long… and happy.
