Juegos Olimpicos Londres 2012

Los juegos Olímpicos empezaron hace apenas tres dias y la delegación Colombiana ya nos puso en el mapa Olímpico con 2 medallas de plata. Que orgullo, que alegria!

La primera la ganó Rigoberto Urán en ciclismo y la segunda es de Oscar Figueroa en levantamiento de Pesas.

Me imagino que en Colombia estan de fiesta.... ojalá y logremos ganar más medallas antes de que los juegos Olímpicos terminen.   ~Feeling proud, right about...... NOW!!~

Classic Joke...

A boy whale and a girl whale are swimming and feeling bored. The boy whale says "Let's have some fun, why don't we go under that boat and use our blowholes to rock it?". The girl whale says "ok" and they do. - Then the boy whale says "Let's have some more fun, let's rock the boat so hard that we knock the crew overboard!". The girl whale says "ok" and they do.

Then the boy whale says "You know what would be the most fun?... If we ate some of the sailors!!". - The girl whale slaps him hard across the face and says "Look, I agreed to the blowjob but I'm not swallowing any "seamen". :D

I'm on vacation...

That's right, it's vacation time and I am in Colombia visiting my dad again. I love coming home and spending time with him.

9/11... 10th Anniversary

I didn't have the time, energy or inclination to post anything yesterday. So today, September 12, one day after the 10th Anniversary of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center I am writing what's on my mind.

After all these years I'm still in mourning. I feel the pain and the anger just like I felt it on that Tuesday morning and on the days that followed. It's amazing and quite sad that on any given day, I can break into tears when I think of or dare speak of that day; needless to say yesterday was a very difficult day.

I went to the World Trade Center Memorial with Joseph and his family, his mom had been selected as a reader. After the memorial we all went back to Brooklyn and people started to arrive at the house... family members, cousins from out of state, friends, neighbors. Some stayed briefly, others stayed for hours. It was a beautiful gathering, like a celebration filled with joy and love.

As for me, I held it together as I always do although at the same time somewhat removed. Today on the other hand has been especially tough. Back to work, with all these emotions bottled up.

There's not much more I can say right now.

RIP Donald J. Regan. We all miss you...  specially your brother.

Space... the Final frontier

Since the launch of the Space Shuttle Atlantis back on July 8th, I've been following Astronaut Ron Garan, aka @Astro_Ron, on twitter. I've also been checking out NASA's multimedia video gallery and their Goddard Pix Flickr page. I just can't seem to ge enough "space" stuff these days.

I can't believe my eyes, I can't contain my joy, I am beside myself watching those videos and pictures of our beautiful blue planet. It is amazing to me that I can be watching a video of the earth taken from the ISS, the knowledge that I am on that earth down below, kind of "watching my selft" from above. Does that make sence? I guess the best way I can describe my feelings is... it's like an outter body experience. How could I "be" in two places at the same time? I've said it before and I'll say it again... I love the age I'm living in.

I feel I must express my gratitude to the thousands who over the years decades have made a generation's dreams of fanstic voyages possible. And now I am looking forward to what will be next... There's talk of perhaps going back to the Moon (but I don't think it likely). There's the Webb Space Telescope, human's travel to Mars or asteroids, what other dreams are waiting to become reality? Only time will tell...
