Oh no, not the Beer!!!!

So, not only is there a shortage of Agave, which is the plant that produces Tequila and takes 10 years in the making, now Malt Barley is on the decline as well. What is a poor college student to do with the higher prices and taxes imposed on some of our favorite beverages?

Thanksgiving 2006

I am currently drinking a glass of Cabernet Savignon and enjoying a slice of flan after two long days of walking in New York City. I hope everybody is having a great Thanksgiving dinner. I know I am. I miss everybody.

Thanksgiving Preparations

I can't believe November is more than half way over. We are preparing the house for our annual Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. This will be the house's 32nd Thanksgiving dinner which isn't much for a fraternity, but for a special interest housing, it is amazing. And I hope that it will continue for many more years. I am a little bit sad. Ever since I have been here at Rochester, I have been going to the D-House's Thanksgiving dinner and now, I am a Senior, I will be attending my fourth and final dinner. It breaks my heart. I am so happy that I will be giving the opening speech. I have always dreamed of it, however, I am afraid I might break out into tears. Well, I am cooking today for tomorrow's festivities. I am making a white past with mushrooms and a Mexican style stuffing. Oooohhhh, nice! Oh my goodness, which reminds me that I have to go to Wilson Commons and place an order for a sushi platter or else we won't have appetizers tomorrow. Gotta go!

It's raining

The rain hasn't stopped since last Thursday, and I literally feel that I am being poured on. I have so much work to do like always, but this time I really have to buckle myself down and try to finish it all by next Monday. I will be leaving to Diana's house on Monday afternoon once again to celebrate Thanksgiving with her and her family. Since I can't go home, I am going to the second best thing that I know. And not to mention, that we are going to THE CITY. You know what I mean when I say THE CITY.... oh yeah, New York City, the grandaddy of alllllll cities. I am so excited to go; all the Christmas decorations will be up (I think) and the Christmas Tree in Rockefellar Square will be lighted. Oh, and I can't wait to do some shopping (with what money, I don't know, but it will get done).
My good friend Nick will be celebrating his 21st birthday. Finally, he is the last one of us to turn 21 and we can finally go to bars and clubs without any problem. This really excites me because Nick is one of the few people that will go out with me and actually dance the entire night away. Plus, not to brag or anything, but we make an excellent hip-hop, pop, get your booty down, dance couple. I am still teaching him how to ballroom dance, but I think that might take a while. hehehe I think him and I will be going out to lunch tomorrow and might have a little party in the third floor lounge tomorrow night, but first, I must study for a test I have on Wednesday and another on Thursday..... Ay, caramba!!!


Don't you want to come with me?
Don't you want to feel my bones
On your bones?
It's only natural

Not the Same

My room is overly clean how I like it
I have regained space in my closet
I can concentrate on my work once again
And I have stopped tripping over some enormous shoes

My desk has enough room to stretch my arms
I can choose what to watch on t.v.
And I don't have to shave my legs every once in a while

But it's not the same
Something doesn't feel right

I miss walking into my room and seeing your smiling face
There's none of your clothes lying carelessly upon my bed
There's no one to make me laugh

I fall asleep crying to Heaven for you to hold me
But my request is rejected
I must console myself with your picture
And pretend that you are by me, holding my hand







...I miss you
