Text of the page (random words):
immoral maybe you could make some suggestions for how we could improve our program our organization is committed to learning by traveling to other countries and having foreigners visit us here cuba is a country that badly needs our attention forgive me if i insulted you but your despite bush comment insulted me i was brought up to respect my president like i said your organization is pretty perfect in an ideal world but in some cases such a cuba s you do more harm than good thanks for your dialogue btw how did you find me in order to send me the original email now i responded line by line to each of his points and i recieved only this afterwards i have no responsibility to respect our president any more than any cuban has any responsibility to respect castro gw strikes me as a blathering idiot he stole the election in 2000 i didn t vote for him he s been terrible for the vast majority of the population of this country and he s a liar on important matters that go way beyond clinton s blowjobs finally you must agree that there is nothing unpatriotic about not liking your country s leader you were brought up to respect your president is that what you think cubans in cuba should do too respect fidel because he s their president i found you on google so you see it isnt about teaching high school about cuban culture and language and politics it s all about hatred for gw bush and adoration for fidel castro that s what it all comes down to in the end i told mr herman to look for me at miami international airport on his cubaexchange departure date i will be the one leading the protest because as a cuban i must and as an american i can amapola i remember the odor the most lysol disinfectant with a little jean nate mixing in with the smell of decay the apartment i knew from hood memory would be the same even though i had only been there once and as an adult that s just the way my tia mary was although she had moved to this particular apartment years after that last time i had visited her in clearwater the furniture was laid out in the exact same way as always the sofa against the wall on the right the coffee table centered with the recliner and the tv picture frames in the hundreds placed all around in the same familiar places as the first time i had set foot in that home twenty some odd years before i had just flown in from miami taken a cab from tampa airport to her apartment only to find the doors locked and cordoned off with police tape the neighbors had no spare keys and the landlord was out of town the cop that had responded had not finished his reports and was off duty that day i had to break into her home it was rather easy as if it was meant to be we are sorry about your loss the neighbor told me she was a nice lady it came as a shock to all of us in the building he paused for a sec maybe noticing my hesitation to enter or perhaps trying to find the right words for what he was about to say she didn t keep her place to tidy though he looked down and away there s a dumpster out back if you need it i was insulted just stood there staring at this guy almost in disbelief this was my tia mary the cleanest and tidiest woman i had ever seen she would vacuum my head after a haircut she would not let me sit on the sofa with my street clothes she would not let me walk in the house with shoes she would vacuum the apartment three or four times a day clean the bathrooms twice a day she bought lysol by the case i used to think she had a cleaning psychosis how dare this guy say something like that to me about my aunt in a way he was right though even though you could not find a speck of dust anywhere in that apartment and the furniture and knick knacks and picture frames were exactly where they were supposed to be it was a mess the apartment was a sea of plastic bags the carpet could barely be seen green black white and beige testimonies to how she had spent the past several months of her life were scattered about they were waist deep with a little path cut into them to the kitchen and bathroom and bedroom my knees went soft i couldn t breathe tears started to fill my bewildered eyes i dropped to the floor right there at the entrance to my tia mary s apartment and sobbed i could not believe what was before me the condition of her apartment was a notion so foreign to me so foreign to her that i simply was not able to accept the fact that i was in her home tia mary s place was my summer camp every year they would drive down on a friday stay the weekend at my parent s house do their visits and see the rest of the family and them come monday i would toss my bag that had been packed for weeks into the trunk of my uncles car and head for clearwater being in clearwater meant trips to disney and cypress gardens entire afternoons at the movie theater watching every single jasminelive movie i could watch in one day sea world trips to her cousins farm horseback riding shopping the five and tens yet there i was a year or so after i had last been there having driven my uncle s car up for her after his death a trip in his cadillac with tia mary next to me despondent depressed quiet i had tried for the four hour trip to get her to move down to miami to be with the family so she wouldnt have to live such a solitary life so she would not get ill without someone around so she would not die alone yet there i was the plastic bags were a mystery hundreds of mysteries scattered about a small one bedroom apartment each one contained questions and answers one bag would have another bag in it with a hairbrush and a half eaten snickers bar inside another bag would have a used paper towel and a set of keys another would have mail from two months back with a postcard hairpins and an amoco receipt there were hundreds of bags with bags inside and more bags inside the bag inside and each bag would have stuff in it little stuff little daily routine stuff and life s treasured mementos all together there was no rhyme or reason to what was in each bag the life she d been living was there before me inside hefty bags i ve wondered since if she suffered not just while she was passing away but each and every time she walked in the door to her apartment knowing her it must have been overwhelming to live the way she was living we will never know exactly what demons or angels were in her mind or what compelled her to save her days in plastic bags maybe she wanted us to live them with her maybe she saved them like that just for me maybe that s the only way she felt she had of having her family near her all the time by saving her days one moment at a time in one day at a time each in a plastic bag today is tia mary s birthday i am not exactly sure how old she would have been today but i wish i could call her like i used to and sing happy birthday over the phone i wish it was the beginning of summer again and i were still a little kid with his bag packed looking down the street for my tia mary to come and pick me up for summer camp i wish i could still smell her jean nate hurricane lanes league night i get home from work yesterday and the minute i open the door it still looks like a cave inside my house no sunlight coming in from anywhere whatsoever i go and take off the shirt and tie and slacks put on a pair of work shorts and tshirt and sneakers i find the drill change to a charged battery grab the bit and head outside to take down the damn plywood that s been making my house feel like some kind of basement speakeasy i start with the front windows both of which are one entire sheet 4x8 of plywood each i decided to be smart about it by driving my truck up close to where i was working so i could stack the plywood on its bed and then unstack it somewhere out of the way when i m done i take off all the tapcons thank heaven for tapcons except one toss them in my pocket and them proceed to take out the last one while pressing agaisnt the plywood with my shoulder so it the plywood doesnt fall the minute the screw comes out of the masonry the plywood slips a little and as i find a place to lay down the drill the damn sheet slips down and slams onto my toes ouch that s pretty much the way it went around the rest of the house with the plywood removal except of course the damn bees residing in the bush in front of the dining room window ever have a bunch and i mean a bunch as in at least 20 pissed off bees chasing you around it isnt fun i can tell you that it is however quite funny imagine me running and hoping and swinging and flaying my arms around like a freaken lunatic in my front yard yeah kodak moment i finish the removal drive the truck to the side of the yard and stack to plywood against the fence for when i need to use them again you know in case of flies i park the truck out front put away the screws and drill and go inside and take a shower when i come out i grab a beer from the fridge pick up the remote and flip on the tv the weather forecast is on the news and they are talking about number eleven florida the number one pin in hurricane alley immigrants and immigrants but the people they feature aren t exactly the kind of people who look like they re gonna make it here i suspect most venezuelan immigrants aren t like this or at least hope not for his immigrants the news reporter interviews only this miserable middle class venezuelan husband and wife who say they don t like the deal they got here in the u s they re doctors put out of business by castro s doctors back in venezuela and now in their new life in the u s they re working a store but they hate it and see operating a store as being a low status occupation compared to life in caracas i suppose it is but in america you have to work your way up it s not handed to you i hope the reporter was distorting their remarks which could have happened but from what i can tell these venezuelan doctors want it handed to them do these venezuelan immigrants not know that the number one trait of being a high income individual in the u s is to own one s own business there is no surer path to wealth not owning stocks not a high education job like doctor but owning a business they are sitting on potential gold and don t even know it and unlike south america where the story i continuously hear from people is of hard work trying to build a business only to have it snatched from them by some economic shock or government theft anyone who owns a business here can grow prosperous and rich even if it s a humble low tech starter business selling retail soap but you have to work and dream and take your opportunities only in america does doing this bring a reasonably good chance of turning soap into gold and yes i have been down and i have been there ivy league grad working at retail during a recession after a layoff stocking shelves can happen to any of us i got back on my feet and have never done better in america upward mobility and downward mobility can come very swiftly and certainly but to make it go positive there must be effort and faith in the future faith in oneself and maybe even religious faith which is abundant here whining kills faith so it s none too constructive and none too american part of me wants to offer these immigrants words of encouragement and the other part wants to slap some sense into them if it s so bad here if america gives them such a raw deal if being storekeepers as their mere first leg up in u s society is so bad and there s no path up from there why don t they go back do these non success track venezuelan ingrates not realize that other immigrants sail on the high seas over shark infested waters to reach freedom s shores and gladly gladly take work in construction retail whatever they can for now just to breathe free air they do the humble stuff first but keep their eyes on the prize and fast as they can move up these venezuelans seem singularly unequipped for this kind of life they don t have this track they just like back in venezuela want it handed to them as a matter of privilege that thinking is what got a thug like hugo chavez elected in the first place these venezuelans cited desperately need exposure to their industrious cuban cousins and i hope they get it cubans and plenty of them are doctors fleeing communism could teach them a thing or two about hard work expectations opportunities and freedom their attitude and that of the cubans reminds me of the contrasts seen in a movie called bolivia it s about argentina during their meltdown in 2002 the middle class argentines wrench in disbelieving agony over the disaster their government brought them but they still look down on the bolivians who ve always done the scutwork in their country the argentines are unable to cope with disaster but the bolivians who have always been poor and humble as well as taken a lot of abuse from their argentine masters are able to cope with the economic morass with far more resilience than the argentines even as the relatively rich argentines screamed about their raw deal in the background maybe there s a lesson in this the rich and comfortable just don t get it about america does this explain the eurotrash hostility to the states i don t know but there are just some people who shouldn t be immigrants why aren t those wronged by america venezuelan doctors marching in the streets with their brave venezuelan counterparts who are standing up to the thug of caracas in person whining about the raw deal that america gives is about the most counterproductive thing i can think of the dissident in the venezuelan jail has more peace of mind than these people do crazy hectic weekend i missed my chance to see and meet humberto fontova this weekend at the book fair the gas company that id been after since wilma to come out and re bury the 2 gas main that runs along the rear of my property decided apparently that since id been so relentless in my calls and pursuits they would do their darndest to screw up one of my weekends and of course they only removed the root balls of the fallen 60 pines leaving me the rest of the trees add to that the fact that i have a very dear family member in the hospital my uncle fernando with cerebral hemorraging asd you can imagine this accounts for much stress depression and lack of sleep tio fernando is my father s best friend has been since they were young dad came by saturday and basically lost it i cannot even begin to tell you how painful it is to see my father cry please say a prayer for tio fernando i m not sure how the rest of my week is going to pan out so my blogging may be light hopefully with your thoughts and prayers tio will get better and we will indeed have yet another reason to be thankful this thanksgiving thank you america tomorrow is one of my favorite holidays of the year thanksgiving i will not post a big appreciation i ll let the kommandant of babalu do that as is his right but i do want to say that as we celebrate this holiday remember how unique in the world it is to set aside one d...
