quisiera estar en mi casa. no quiero compartir este día con nadie. quiero irme. quiero llorar. quiero correr. no entiendo como un ser humano puede ser tan cruel a otro.

Attention students, class is now in session.
Hear that? that's the sound of boredom leaving the room. My month of no school work is drawing to a close. I'm actually excited to be starting up again. The semester commences on June 4th and already I have a few questions to ponder. I must pick one of three from the list below to answer in a three page research paper:
1. Will Globalization Tie the World Together or Tear it Apart?
2. Should Global Interests Be Placed Ahead of National Interests?
3. Can International Terrorism Be Contained?
Instantly #1 jumped up at me. Globalization is connecting us to others like no other time in history. Borders are mute points when it comes to economic issues but social issues are another story. Is it any coincidence that less industrialized nations are struggling to keep up with the US and other superpowers because of NAFTA and CAFTA? Americans love the relative inexpensive luxuries this country affords us but at what cost? The drive to keep wages lower and lower is not only a consequence of vast illegal immigration but also outsourcing, loss of status and power by unions, big corporations becoming the true policy makers and the disappearance of human emotions & consideration by business persons. This blog will be kept to house some of my thoughts on the three questions. Although I'm leaning towards #1 already, I'm not going to discount the other ones. This should be an interesting class. Too bad it's not offered on campus.
Sidebar-I've been chewing a huge piece of gum for almost an hour. At this point it is entirely too hard to keep chewing but don't have a nearby trash can to dispose of it nor do I have any paper to wrap it up in. I thought of swallowing it but alas 'tis too large and I don't want it caught in my throat. Shit, I've even thought of sticking it under this desk but how ghetto can you get? My teeth hurt from chewing it. Is that normal...??

what are you doing this friday
hilarious. simply hilarious. i'm at our main library in beautiful downtown seated next to an old man perv. the dude to my left is cowering over his screen, as best he can anyway, to keep prying eyes away from the semi-nude babes titillating his senses. the old man to my right is simply staring at his screen. the glare from the sun-light windows behind us are not being kind to my peeping toms as i can't see what he's reading. why do i care? because i'm a voyeur, bien sur. a novice, if you will. i always seem to want to know what's going on in other's lives; but not as instrusive as it sounds. i don't care to make you my friend, myspace wise or otherwise. i just want a quick glimpse into your world. who's that you're talking to? how did you get to work as a waitress? what was your dream job as a kid? not liking people too much or not having the energy to put forth the effort necessary to even determine if i like them or not, i am content to just invent their stories. the perv to my left is surely recently from prison and can't seem to get boobs off his mind. wonder if he's had the opportunity to indulge in some as of yet. if not, dude i feel for you. i indulge in the best boobs in the universe nightly. belonging to the boobs is my wife. who happens to be the bestest wifey in all of the milky way and whatever unknown galaxy that may exist. love that woman to d.e.a.t.h.
