Que Viva Mexico

El dieciseis de septiembre - Independence Day in Mexico. I hope that everyone is celebrating and paying homage to la patria, I know that I am, for as we all know, my heart is Mexican, Uruguayan, Honduran, Guatemalan, and just about anything that speaks Spanish and eats beans. Sometimes I wonder why I am here in the United States, but I know the answer...I am here as a teacher, to teach the youth of our country about the people and places that I love so dearly. And this United Statesean purpose of mine works out quite well, for in it I am able to spend about 2 months of the year travelling and fulfilling other dreams in other places. One day I would like to leave this place, perhaps permanently, but I just don't think that it's time for me to go yet, I definitely feel God working me here.

Does anyone know anything about existentialism?? I am on a mission to find out more about it.


The other day I was at the McDonald's playplace with Ryan and Lauren, climbing up in the little tubes and going down the slides, and having the best time ever - except one thing was missing. It took a few minute seconds to figure out what it was, but it came as no surprise to me - I was missing my dear friend, Becca, my soulmate and playmate. I would have invited her to McDonalds, but she is in South Africa and I do miss her.

How come you never asked me about existentialism. It started in France, you know. I have read many books and articles about Sartre and Camus, two major authors of the genre. I have also read Becket (but I don't know how to spell it). So, not only do I have a lot of experience with existentialism, I actually like it! Let me know if you want to chat about it some time. It would be fun! Be forewarned, it does challenge the existence of God, at times, though no one ever came to an agreement on the topic.
