Its time for a financial change

“Even timid Japanese are finally starting to push for change,”( Miku Ohkura)
Everyone seems to be getting upset at rich people and bad financial decisions made by them.
It seems that people have had way too much faith on the rich and forgot to realize that they are no different than you and me, except that they make more money than most Americans.
Upon reading an article on the New York Times, I am again enraged at how the rich are being taken care of. Under different circumstances would the people who are rich be able to do what they are doing now? If they were raised in a poverty stricken neighborhood or (just to come out and say) it without the silver spoon in their mouths would they have been able to get to where they are now, would they be no different from both you and me? I am tackling two different subjects here, but I see them as one. Why should they get all these benefits because they make 7 more figured than I do? In the end of the day they are also human. It is time that we need to think about what we need as a country rather than what we want. So many companies are out there to make the next buck,trying to come with new products that make people rush to the stores and for what? We have decent looking houses for outrageous prices. Why? WHy can't we simple? I don't mean to go back and life the "simple" ways of the 50's and 60's but just live simple, not get everything that is out there because it is cool but because it is something we need. We need to show the banks that as a new generation we are responsible and are thinking about our future un like the rich financial slobs that live their upscale,pricey lifestyle.

32.....with friends...and just that!!

All in a day but it was much longer than that...PT 2

After attending the first half of the field-trip I managed to escape barely with my eyes open. Realizing as great as history is , I never really like the 1500 era or anything that had to do with the "Declaration of Independence" We make it down towards Quincy Market. which is located in Downtown Crossing right next to City Hall. It is a local tourist attraction although locals can't help but be attracted to it as well; but who can blame them with all the eateries, shows, and events, the random performances, name brand stores, and beautiful view of the Big Dig Bridge. If you are there on Fridays and Saturdays you can enjoy the beautiful and wonderful world of Farers Market. Where you can buy fruits and Veggies for a dirt cheap price. Being drawn back to the reality that I was in a field trip and I had to chaperone my students I draw their attention to a large statu of Sam Adams. I get them to gather there for a class pic, I get them to make space so we can see the name"Samuel Adams"; I salute this for the great beer it produces and my students have no idea what I am doing. After a couple of snapshops and silly pics. We are then led by an enticing aroma of high fructose and fried goods towards the food court. As we open the large glass doors to see a vast hallway of fast food; stunned in amazement we had to get the students to move but once we had their motors running we lost them. Literally no more than 2 seconds later we had not one of out students in plain sight.
My co-worker and I decided to then do the same, walk around and see what to get to eat. Your mind tends to wander as you walk around picturing yourself eating everything you see, trying out the different flavors.hmm just the thought of it makes me hungry. From time to time you do hear that voice of reason telling you 2 things"You're gonna get fat" and Its to pricey. I ended up getting some low mein from an everyday chinese fast food joint. Which surprised many of the students with us even the Chinese ones because they never thought I would know how to use chopsticks..because they cant use chopsticks. In the end looking at all the people wandering around, not paying attention to their left or right, aimlessly bumping into people I realize a few things. One being how much I wish you were there with me to people watch, enjoy local fast food not matter how pricey or greasy it is and too take pictures of the distracted people who are walking around. I miss you.. I love you

just one dinner

It lasted 3 days

Bourbon Ice cream and I scream

Sitting there and enjoying this delightfully delicious free ice cream was a moment held in silence. As the flavor that push through my taste buds and I watched the people walk by jealous of the ice cream they wished they had and were force to pay for. I thought about you and how much you would be enjoying a scoop of ice cream that you DIDN'T have to pay for by my side. Watching people, possibly pointing at some of them laughing together making the best with the corny jokes...possibly some would have been directed at me. In which I would have responded with the term "LAMEe" in a scratchy low pitch voice.
Today felt like a rush, nothing to get to in the end but not enough time. I hung out with a friend we played video games for a bit, went out to dinner with another friend and I'm not sure were I lost her in the conversation. I think maybe it was because we saw my friends at iHop. Which I was cool with(although it was a bit awkward cause I know my friend loves to listen in to pick up material to joke about later on)
But ce la vi. I led on answering her questions about myself, whic is fine but I felt like I was in an interview. ...hmmm.. I'll come back comment more on my day and night.

quien me dio?

Muchas veces me pregunto que puedo hacer con mi mente? Se me hace dificil recordad un momento en mi vida que yo no era ancioso. teniendo una dificuldes de respirar, de hablar, la voca se me llena de algodon y mi corazon palpita a una velosida que me espanta. Recientemente me e encontrado orando cuando estas cituaciones me ocurren. Llevo unos anos asi orando cuando tengo estos "encuentros" raros que mi cuelpo se siente debil y sin ganas. Cuando el aire tiene un sabor a la muerte y mi cabeza no se puedeacostar.. La oracion me a estado ayadando, pero si no es solamente la oracion es mas que eso. Es el dejar de mis pemsamientos en las manos de mi Dios. Pero tambien como cualquier humano siempre me encuentro debil. Y muchas veces no se como puedo orar. como que mi cuelpo se cansa de respirar y lo unico que siento es la palpita de mi corazon...y cada vez que palpita me duele. En Si es unos de mis momentos que mas odio. Muchas veces se que este es el momento que mas debo acercarme a Dios y dejar mimente en paz. Cojer control de mi vida y no dejar estos pensamientos correr mi vida. No como antes. Si se que puedo hacerlo, pero muchas veces se me hace dificil entender porque tengo que pasar por esto solamente para orar. No creo que esto parara, si un dia tengo hijos o hijas se que denuevo me voy a encontrar con estos momentos, preocupado de ellos. Esperando que ellos esten bien, por que si espero verme queriendos a mis hijo/hija.
Pero por el momento no tengo ese cargo, por el momento tengo una novia que en si la amo mucho. pienso en ella todos los dias y cada momento que pueda. Me preocupo por ella, esperando que todo este bien, que nadie se meta con ella. Tan Bella, tan fragil, tan delicada. Si tiene una voz fuerto su corazon palpita como la de un leon cuando grita a lost demas animales de la jungla que se hechen de regreso. Lleno de fuego y lena. La veo como ella trata de enamorarme, cada dia y cada noche. Como ella me hace falta. Como la quiero tanto y deseo estar al lado de ella. La estrano, como no solamente mi cuarto esta vacio sin ella, mi vida sin ella ficicamente a mi lado se siente tan vacia. Pero si tengo fe en verla y estar ficicamente al lado de ella.
Mi deseo es aguantarla otra vez mientras admiro y penetro sus ojos.

Verse of the Day

“A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2 NIV
I read this today as I spent some time alone and saw how encouraging this was.
Almost felt like a kid who has been crying for a while after throwing a tantrum and finally getting
noticed or being given a lollipop. As I scramble to reflect on this, nothing really pops to mind. questions, comments and concerns boggle my mind leaving me blind and deaf to see past what I am reading. For now I know that God is with me. That He has heard my prayer and He wants me to continue looking for Him.I can't trust on myself, I must solely trust on Him who has the answer, a shoulder to lean on and a heart that Loves me. I sometimes wish I had the answer to my life and how are things going to work out. When I look at my reality it's depleting what life I have left(which is a lot but still...).and upon realizing this I know I must turn to God. As I realize that all of the things that are running loose in mind causing me to not think straight are not from Our Lord.Each thought is like sucker punch, unknowingly striking me from many directions. As my thoughts wrestle with me to pin me down for the count, I realize that I am not meant to fight this alone, and that I don't have to deal with like everyone else does either. I made the mistake into thinking that I was able to just pray them away, but I misunderstood that I needed to share them with you. Many times I ignored them and try not to let them bleed through thinking that would work, or hat I should do as I always do and deal with it when it comes. But many times it is best to share them with you so you too can see my angle and I can see yours.With you in fact both of us have seen prayers answered, not just by chance, no coincidence occurring inspiring us, lets continue prayer. Lets continue and see what God has for us both. Here are some pictures I have taken. They are quite random but they are way over due and from King Richards Fair.
