Ola !

I've been called paranoid. I'd prefer to call myself insightful. Sometimes, I think of things that would be considered a bit off. I had this thought, and I think I may be on to something...

I think we've all noticed our country going in the direction of becoming bilingual. There are Spanish words everywhere. Sesame Street has been using Spanish for a LONG time. Some of my daughters toys speak two languages. Every time I go to the ATM machine, I first have to select which language I want to use. I have to admit - it bothers me. I don't want to have to select ENGLISH. Then, I thought about EBONICS (I think that's what it was called)... The acceptance of 'slanguage'.

I don't think there's a majority of Spanish speaking people in government. The job market (economy) in the country stinks - there are a lot of crappy jobs that exist and likely always will.

This brings me to my thought... Did decision makers decide that making the country bilingual would keep a larger number of people speaking broken English. Thus, creating a long-term caste system of language and wealth.

Instead of the Germans, Italians, Chinese and Japanese asking... "Hey, why isn't OUR language the second language?"... Maybe the Spanish speaking people should say... Don't do us any favors.

Happy Flippin' Valentines Day.

I really don't like Valentines Day. There's way too much pressure.

Do you do the flowers thing at about $70 and they usually look like crap on VDay. Do you still get them after being told over and over again.

"DON'T GET ME FLOWERS"

Well, of course you go to dinner on Valentines Day, I mean... who doesn't like to eat.

"I DON'T WANT TO GO TO DINNER ON VALENTINES DAY - YOU WAIT TOO LONG AND THE SERVICE STINKS, AND THE FOOD ISN'T AS GOOD"

Then you figure candy is good, I mean - who doesn't like chocolate. Well I guess she doesn't like it that much.

"DON'T GET ME CHOCOLATE"

So, now I'm down to a nice card, a small gift and dinner within the week.

Hopefully, my wife doesn't sound like a beotch, because she isn't. She is really quite wonderful. She's just very practical.

Happy Valentines Day !

Is this thing on? Hello? Check, Check, Check 1,2,3

Holy cr@p. You wouldn't believe what I've been through. I have been blocked from accessing my blog by some software at work called 'WebSense'. It stated that I was blocked because of the category of S3x. Sorry, I don't even want to type it. So, I'm sure I showed up on some prevert report (bear with my spelling NYM - ya can't be too careful). There's nothing S3xy on mine - it's not like firestarter's...

Anyway, I tried again via a different route, and here I am. I'm going to try to post what I had planned for Vday... If you don't see it, it didn't work.

Hope everyone is doing well...
