February 4th Protest Against FARC in KC
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.
Collective Hysteria
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. :D

Seven Thingies
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. ;-)
Diabetes and Caffeine
Read on Yahoo! News:
Cutting down on caffeine could help people with the most common form of diabetes better control their blood sugar levels, researchers said on Monday.
I cut down my caffeine intake many months ago after I got sick with a Starbucks latte. I don't blame the coffee, but the milk. However, it was enough to drink coffee only at home and only in the morning. I don't have more than 1/2 cup.
Caffeine appears to disrupt glucose metabolism in a way that could be harmful to people with type-2 diabetes.
As for other sources like tea and soft drinks, I think I'm OK. I drink tea very randomly and I dislike sodas with passion.
The Chávez Rant of the Day
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.
