It's November already

How time flies... We came back to New York in May, and so many things have happened since then. The most exciting thing of all is that I finally went back home. After 11 years I went home and spent two weeks in Colombia. It was great seeing my family after such a long time, and it was great just being there. It's an entirely different world, some things better, some not.

I got to eat some great foods, many of which I hadn't eaten in 27 years.... can you even beging to understand what it feels like to experience something that has only lived in your memory for more than half your life? I also got to travel a bit, and see how beautiful my home is. Landscapes that lived in my memory came to life again, and overwhelmed me. I took so many pictures, I don't get tired of looking at them and I want to share them with everyone and anyone who will give me half a chance.

Now I can't wait to plan my next trip, which God willing will be next year. That's right, I want to go back soon, real soon; I miss my family and I miss my home. They say you can't go home again, and it's true. But you can't blame me for trying.

We're back in NYC

Well, we arrived last Tuesday and we're staying at my friend Emile's for a little while. Needless to say, I miss the warmth and bright sun of Puerto Rico, especially since it's been cold and raining here. I was out with my friend last night and it was a rainy 46 degrees at 1am. All I kept thinking was back in PR I'd be in my shorts listening to the ocean from my balcony.

It's going to take me a while to get used to this place again.

Good Bye Puerto Rico

This is our last night in Puerto Rico and I'm very sad. I'm sad to leave this beautiful island, our fabulous apartment, friends and "my beach".

I'm dreading the humid New York summers and icy cold winers. I'm dreading the subways, the filth and the rush and stress of the big city. I'm not looking forward to the "New York minute". But that's where work is, for me and for Joseph; he's only going to do one more trip on the cruises and then he'll be home full time again.

The time has come... I want to get out of the city in the next couple of years. I probably won't come back to Puerto Rico, but well definitelly look for a more peaceful, calmer place to live.

Good Bye Puerto Rico... Its not San Francisco, but I'm leaving a piece of me (of my my heart) here.

He's home

Yes, Joseph's finally back. That's the good news; the bad news is that the car is acting up again. We have to have it towed tomorrow morning to a transmission shop to have it taken care of. I hope we can have it fixed fast.

Not everything was bad today. It seems Joseph has found us a really nice apartment in NY. I hope this works out, because it's in a great neighborhood, would be close to work for me and we'd be living by the beach again!!! How exciting!!

I love stuff like this

You got to admit, Bush is his own worst enemy. I swear I don't go around looking for stuff like this, I just stumble upon it. This from WFT is it now?:

It's official: Bush is the worst president evar
Disapproval of the aWol DisasterMonkey breaks all records, number of moron-Americans still high.
Bush has set a record he'd presumably prefer to avoid: the highest disapproval rating of any president in the 70-year history of the Gallup Poll.In a USA Toady/Gallup Poll taken Friday through Sunday, 28% of Americans approve of the job Bush is doing; 69% disapprove. The approval rating matches the low point of his presidency, and the disapproval sets a new high for any president since Franklin Roosevelt.Assessments of Bush's presidency are harsh. By 69-27%, those polled say Bush's tenure in general has been a failure, not a success.Why do Americans hate America?Not to worry, I'm sure his numbers will go up after his appearance on "Deal or No Deal" where he actually joked about the shitty economy.Asswipe.
