Yup, I attended my first Rangers game in about three years and didn’t have anytime to blog. Blame my friend Jimi for the free tickets.
When I first started blogging I remember one of my friend’s girlfriends tell me that she stopped blogging because she wanted to do something more edifying with her life. I thought of her as one of those get-in-your-face-evangelicals, and she knew I was really fond of this new ‘hobby’ and I felt like she was trying to guilt trip me into doing something I enjoyed. Personally, I’m glad I never stopped blogging because some real blessings have come my way as a result of it. One of which came yesterday as one of my readers, a friend, wrote a heart-warming post about me. Too bad there’s not a better picture of us two because I look like crap.
But for every great guy like Jonathan, I’ll run into the occasional reader who thinks I’m just a hypocritical Christian with screwed up liberal theological and political views. I’m all about learning about opposing views and perspective, just not into the judgementalism.
Whatever illness I have, I just can’t shake it. As Dennis Hopper said in Water World, it’s like a turd that just won’t flush.

A very long, but interesting article on The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. If there are any comments left about this topic, I have a feeling they will come without reading the article.

I couldn't find any pictures of the both of us…got one I can switch? I looked all through your Flickr album and only found pictures of me standing by the exclusive access U2 port-o-potty!
I remember segregated High School elections. I also remember arguing with the school principle on which ticket I should run on. There were only ~5 Hispanics in the entire high school. By definition, that's a minority. So, I felt I should run on the minority ticket – trust me, this was a pride thing. I wasn't allowed to because "people like me[not person, rather race] more". This was in North Carolina. This was also the same High School where I never was asked on a date. I wasn't anything horribly ugly…just a normal teenager. But, as one student very kindly put it, "sadly, you're in North Carolina. If a white guy asks you out, the first thing the parents will ask is why." I can't say it hurt my feelings, though. But, it definitely has defined who I am in a positive way. Those were confusing times but it helped me with understanding how race plays a role in America (unlike many other countries).
