Early at my house to make phone calls. No luck yet with Retiro, so I foresee the check thing will be for Jan. Not my fault, will have the phone bill to prove it. :(

Dripping dripping drowning dripping... The dripping in the bath is getting me crazy. Need to get a plumber to take care of all water issues... by mid-Jan... Right now not even a cent to spend... Eeeck!

Will ask Joe Carpenter to take out the closets and any other wood stuff. Want no wood in here, unless it is caoba. No termites, please. Maybe will do some tiling next week as well... This week or what is left of it should be an ode to lazyness... sort off... Put the primer at auntie's so gotta paint maybe tomorrow morning if I'm in the mood...

May see Tril this afternoon. I feel bored and I won't spend another whole day here waiting for a phone call that won't happen. It's like waiting for the repair of auntie's phone... It just won't happen until next year maybe... Happy happy joy joy... Eeeck!

Still an Anti-Chilli's/Anti-Ponderosa girl. People, chill... I gotta be the Grinch or Scrooge... Someone has to do it... And it is in my bones. Deal with it! It's the season to be spooky, shalalalala-lala-lala!

Mood: Make a wild guess. Maybe I'll like Xmas better if I had the spirit within, but my spirit is out and it only enjoys Halloween to the fullest. Xmas is all about gifts and outings to spend money, and getting things overpriced, and people crowding up and pushing you around and having an excuse to curse you with a smile. Blah! I hate crowds, I hate taking part of a lie (after all, baby Jesus was born between March-May, not in December), I hate people being double face (we all know they aint so merry and that they pretend to care but they just want you to fail at everything to pick up the spoils of war)... A beautiful life... Maybe a long time ago, in a galaxy far away... where people actually took the time to make their gifts and instruct values and feelings to their siblings... I wish I live in another time, but no... Here I am... In the land of confussion, in a land with no values, no heart, no core, no true joy... a land that delights on ignoring problems and celebrating stupidity, beer and half-naked chicks. Lovely land...

My homeland died horribly, and instead this accursed clone has taken over... Gentle portorricans have been turned into headless chickens in human bodies... Damned world... And its funny to see what they write as "what the 2006 will bring to us", writing about the stars saying that so many bad things will happen... Hello! Wake up! Of course bad things will happen... its a logical consequence of global carelessness. Trees keep on being cut, the Amazon Jungle keeps vanishing. Glaciers keep melting... Well, duh! Earthquakes will strike, weather will be insane... Logical things that are consequence of what the "intelligent" animal of this planet does best: Screw everything it touches for the sake of so-called civilization and evolution.

I believe in fighting and making a difference. It just seems there is no point. The few fighters are branded as geek anarchists that try going against all odds and literally die trying. The deep lessons left by Mother Theresa and Princess Diana in matters of giving selflessly were lessons of a one day application... People look at them, say its a pity, and move on. While people decide which game system should they buy, or which cellular has the best features, or which iPod looks cooler there are children dying because they couldnt get even just a spoonful of rice. Mention this, and people say its a pity, and they keep on their mindless consumerism because it doesn't inmediately touch them... Mention that you are not talking of Africa, but of this piece of land we call Island of Enchantment... and they wont believe it. Personally, I wont get a $500 buck system, not even a $130 system. People keep wasting money investing on their children's lack of imagination... and creating monsters that don't really get the value of money. Instead of giving a one day play and food and toys for kids, try donating time, volunteering... That's what true Xmas is all about... a gift that comes from the heart and lasts a whole year or a lifetime... There is a difference between wants and needs. Place it in a balance and realize that most wants are not even close to needs, and that after you fulfill your needs you can help others do the same... and in the way, get the greatest of your wants.

Ok... That's as deep as I can go today. I'm outta here.

To all friends and foes: Merry Xmas. May all of you get exactly what every one of you deserves! :)

And to pick up the spirit... here goes... cheers!


" T'was the night before Christmas - Old Santa was pissed.
He cussed out the elves and threw down his list.
Miserable little brats, ungrateful little jerks.
I have a good mind to scrap the whole works.
I've busted my ass for damn near a year.
Instead of "Thanks Santa" - what do I hear?
The old lady bitches cause I work late at night...
The elves want more money - The reindeer all fight.
Rudolph got drunk and goosed all the maids.
Donner is pregnant and Vixen has AIDS.
And just when I thought that things would get better,
Those assholes from IRS sent me a letter.
They say I owe taxes - if that ain't damn funny.
Who the hell ever sent Santa Claus any money?
And the kids these days - they all are the pits.
They want the impossible ...Those mean little shits.
I spent a whole year making wagons and sleds,
Assembling dolls...Their arms, legs and heads,
I made a ton of yoyo's - No request for them...
They want computers and robots...they think I'm IBM.
Flying through the air...dodging the trees,
Falling down chimneys and skinning my knees.

I'm quitting this job...there's just no enjoyment.
I'll sit on my fat ass and draw unemployment.
There's no Christmas this year...now you know the reason...
I found me a blonde. I'm going SOUTH for the season"
