May 5....Cinco De Mayo...De Waro...

I wonder if Cinco De Mayo will become a violent as Margi Gras was in New Orleans?? I mean with all the Illegal Immigrant uprisings in the US, I bet the San Antoniw will be like a WAR ZONE on other Races. Cinco de Mayo is a date of great importance for the Mexican and Chicano communities. It marks the victory of the Mexican Army over the French at the Battle of Puebla. Althought the Mexican army was eventually defeated, the "Batalla de Puebla" came to represent a symbol of Mexican unity and patriotism. With this victory, Mexico demonstrated to the world that Mexico and all of Latin America were willing to defend themselves of any foreign intervention. Especially those from imperialist states bent on world conquest. That day and has absolutely NOTHING to do the the USA or ANY holidays that we have. It seems like it would be a good time to start violence here in the USA given its importance to their culture and not ours.

I see kind of like this email that was sent to me from a friend...

Dear President Bush:

I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrange ments. I know you can help with this. I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:

1. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
3. All government forms need to be printed in English.
4. I want my ki ds to be taught by English-speaking teachers.
5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.
7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.
9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
12. I would also like to ha ve a nice job without paying any taxes, and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws.
13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy. I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico.

I am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely. However, if he gives you any trouble, just i nvite him to go quail hunting with your V.P. Thank you so much for your kind help.
Sincerely,
US Citizen

It was going to be a family thing, my wife and daughter, with some friends from work, but the weather prevented us, so we all did not go.

Entertainment Tonight...

It is only me that thinks that Mary Hart is looking very plastic? Sort of like Joan Rivers? That she has been tuck, sucked and stuck one too many times? I remember that a few years ago, she looked very nice, but the more I watch the show now, the more that she looks plastic…

This week...
We will be attending Hootie and The Blowfish concert at Inslake Pavilion on Wednesday. It is like the Woodlands in Houston, only not as big as that concert site. It should be a great show, weather permitting. I also hope to have some info about my interview this week or next week. I am hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst. That is am old Russian proverb. Frontline Assemble had that in a song called Provision. Well I will post later this week about some more stuff.

Dear BLOG,

You know how it seams that everything you try to do is not good enough? Well, I feel like that here in Richmond. My interview went well, but I wont know anything for about 2 weeks. And "Time passes slowly for a man who waits." Richmond is the hardest job market that I have ever been. It is very clickish and if you are south of the river, that is bad, even though the house might cost the same as if you were north and west of the river. IT is a very tough market to get employment it. I have never had a problem getting a job across the country, but here it is very hard. I am very discouraged and upset by this. It is difficult to keep your chin up as they say, or "something will come your way" Well, I am still waiting...

well, tomorrow, I interview for a perm position with Wachovia @ 10am EST. Wish me luck. I am a bit nervous about the interview as I know not much about the job. It is dealing with Margin Calls on credit of purchasing securities. That was a mouth full!!!

More tomorrow.
