Invictus
William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the yearsFinds,
and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Are fitness shoes the new rip-off?

Reebok calls it the EasyTone; Skechers, the ShapeUp. These curved-sole shoes, transforming people into human rocking chairs, cost up to $130 and promise to keep you fit even while grocery shopping.
During 2009 sales grew 14-fold to $245 million, estimates market researcher NPD. One problem: "They mostly affect the foot and ankle," says Dr. Michael Ross, director of Rothman Institute's Sports Performance Lab, which counts the Philadelphia Eagles, Phillies and Flyers among its clients. "There is no evidence they will help you tone better or quicker than a regular shoe."

just wrong

Not okay by my standards!

Is this just wrong or what?

"Surely there must be some way to find a husband or, for that matter, merely an escort, without sacrificing one's privacy, self-respect, and interior decorating scheme."

If you have skin... you NEED Strivectin!

Although I don't usually spend lots of money on expensive creams, lotions and potions, I have to say that I had been dying to get this cream for the longest. Today, as my husband and I were looking for the perfect summer bicycle, my husband decided he was going to get me 'what I wanted' [meaning the cream]. Not only was I beyond surprised, I was excited because I knew if it wouldn't have been for him, I would have [probably] never bought it... I'm kinda cheap for these things, besides, who is going to guarantee me that the cream is actually going to work. Anyways, my sugardaddy bought the Strivectin cream for me. And while I kept reminding him of the 'ouchy' pricetag that comes with the brand name and the fact that I really didn't need it at the time, he whispered in my ear, "Babe, don't worry, I've got it". Is this sweet or what? I think it is.

I'm not going to lie, I am soooooo excited about having this cream! I have high expectations of it and I can't wait to start using it. According to the manufacturers, this is the Holy Grail of all creams and lotions designed for sculpting, lifting and tightening facial skin. It's meant to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crows' feet while accentuating the cheekbones and the jaw line. So, apparently this is the #&%!, and it is going to help me transform my entire facial contour [I don't know about that, but I am hopeful it's gonna make my skin look more youthful].

Well, today is going to be day one, let's see how this cream works... I'll keep you posted.

Law of attraction

Look for the gifts in everything, especially when you are facing what appears to be a negative situation. Everything that we attract causes us to grow, which means that ultimately everything is for our own good.
Adjusting to a new path and a new direction will require new qualities and strengths, and these
qualities are always exactly what we need to acquire in order to accomplish the great things ahead in our life.

Operation Wetback all over again?

WTH? Is this Operation Wetback all over again or what? I am so frustrated right now over the new immigration law SB 1070! This law (or should I call it a joke?) proposes that if a cop has 'reasonable suspicion' (reasonable according to whom???) that someone is here illegally, this requires the officer to ask that person for proof of legal residency. Immigrants unable to produce documents showing they are allowed to be in the U.S. could be arrested, jailed for up to six months and fined $2,500. Does this smell like BS or what? I think this proposal is as frightening as an empty bank account, this bill basically opens the doors to a form of 'legal', massive, racial profiling against all brown-skinned people, criminalizing compassion and taking us (THE people) back to a bad movie set in the 40's in the southern states of the country. The bill is probably going to bring out the worst out of people, breed violence and more. Not only do I think this is unconstitutional, it is also offensive and discriminatory. According to one of the lasts Colbert Reports, immigrants account for 29 millions of Arizona's economy... I would really like to see what's going to happen to Arizona's economy if, or when they leave!

The Beauty and the Beast in NYC

Well, well, well... what do we have in here?
Although I have always loved the story of "The Beauty and the Beast" from the Disney version to the numerous re-tellings, I never thought I was going to actually like a modern, cheesy version of this classic. This July 2010, a new version of the classic will come out based on the novel of Alex Flinn, "Beastly". This version tells the story from the Beast's point of view and it is set in modern-day NYC (New York, New York!)
After watching the trailers I was instantly hooked, YES, hooked! I don't consider myself a fan of any of the new-generation 'actors' from the Disney channel or Nickelodeon for what that matters. But there are a lot of good, well-known actors in this movie including: Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser M.D... YUP!), Peter Krause from Six-Feet Under, and Mary-Kate Olsen. I think deep inside I wanted to hate this movie because I thought it was going to be one of these lame, young adult movies that are coming out every summer (that's right Twilight!) but, darn it, after watching the trailer, I'm going to have to say that I will be watching it and that I am actually looking forward to watching it. So, here it goes, the infamous trailer. Enjoy it and leave your comments.
Do you think it will be worth watching?

Pobre del país que, con la violencia, crea que puede matar la idea de su liberación. Pobre del país que ve la justicia hecha añicos por la voluntad del rico o por el orden militar."
