Food for thought

Hola,

I don’t know when I am going to stop changing the blog title. I wasn’t very satisfied with the previous title so I had to change. If you find it annoying then shoot me some ideas. Cheney, I just said ideas.

Hope you all had a great week. Here in the Midwest, it was biting cold last week.

It was so cold that I had to wear thermal under wear to get outside.

It was so cold that Cheney didn’t go out for his daily shoot.

It was so cold that the republicans were offended by Bush’s plans on the port authority

It was so cold that Israel is refusing to pay the Palestinians their own tax money of $50 million a month.

It was so cold that the Russians didn’t win the women’s figure skating short program.

Our moods wander around various phases and I was in one of those phases for the better part of last week where new stories or ideas would not spark. With every intention to start a new story, I would first turn on my laptop and open MS Word (which invariably takes a minute or two) and then begin to ponder. Beginning a story is so incredibly dependant on the success of the events during that day. Every event that even closely involves food, entertainment, sleep, dream, and fantasies coming true would score points toward writing a good story. Unfortunately, I don’t get out of the house too often and the days I do get out it’s either to go to my office, where I encounter not so many exciting things in life such as work, library, and so called extra-curricular activities which I would rather not delve into. The international and national news stories on TV and the newspaper don’t help either. Incidentally, most of the stories that I posted for Valentine’s Day are still being discussed around the world so that gives an idea of how many new things are happening in the political world at any given time. But getting out of the house and walking around really helps to flavor ordinary stories and make them into a curry house for most blogs.

Yesterday was one such day when I went to the Michigan basketball game. There is so much to talk about everything but the game. Although my story will not report the game commentary or the excitement among the Michigan fans when they saw their team win, the game still put me in the right mood to start and develop one. The story that will follow in my next post would be the first of many chapters so please be patient since I am in the process of writing the first chapter.

Hasta luego,

iCuidados.
