Lunes
Here in NOVA, the speed of the winds whipping around cancelled public schools today (thats a first for around here, as far as I know.) Actually I like the sound of the wind, I can pretend I live near the ocean. But then I heard about this:Virginia Tech Shootings

Washington
While I was in Illinois, I was amazed to read this story about what happened to a kid who took my college group on a tour of the Urubamba Valley when I was 19. (He was 13 at the time).
“On one of Ms. Lopez’s trips, she met a young boy named Washington who would work his way into her groups, offering to show them the city sights, temples, and to sing songs…Vera learned that this boy was gathering whatever money he could to help feed his family…When Washington was in his early teens, one of Vera’s groups decided to sponsor this boy and send him to a Peruvian Tour Guide school…As Washington grew, it became clear that this was a young man with vision. At eighteen, he was asked to speak at a millionaires convention in Los Angeles…He was then schooled in the United States and offered many jobs. He chose to go back to his hometown…Washington then opened The Foundation of the Universal Heart…a “restaurant” that feeds the children of the mountains…Many of these children have to walk to and from school with no food…Keeping with Washington’s idea of empowerment, this was not a “handout” for the poor. The mothers in the community were enlisted to come and cook for the children, and the children were expected to help out with the cleaning…”
“In the summer of 2005, Cynthia Von Orthal accompanied Vera to Peru. She created a 2 day workshop…focused on storytelling and puppet building based on myths of the area and each child built a simple rod puppet…Today Cynthia, Vera, and Washington continue to talk about creating an artistic program with the children of The Foundation of the Heart…The program would use the language of the people, their myths, stories and legends to create street theater using puppets, mask, dance, song and story. These performances would be taken to the temples, town centers and hotels…It is their hope that with grants and other public and private funds, this program will be a sustainable and successful community enriching opportunity.”

The Urubamba Valley is one of the most beautiful places I’ve visited on this planet.
I have to go back someday. Me encanta, me encanta, me encanta, tengo que regresar...

Huh...
Weird thing...I looked at my profile, and it said my age was 250 and that I was born in the year of the RAT!!! That is strange. When did that happen? Recently? Months and months ago? How did that happen? I didn't do it. It didn't used to say that. So, what to do? Well...here's a link of people born in 1756 which was what was typed in to make me 250 years old and born in the year of the Rat. And just from the looks of that list...and the slogan is "tracking the entire world"...I don't really think so...
So.The year of the rat was in 1756.
And if I'd been born then I'd be 250 years old.
Well, now I know.

Working
Since I came back here I have discovered that I'm living near the site of my first job ever. That was selling pizza kits out of the bottom of the basement of a palm reading place. I have considered working at Safeway, since out of everything I did Friday through Sunday, my "peak experience" came on Sunday night when I went there. I could be a buyer of food, for example. I revisted Safeway today and I noticed two things:
1) "Poetry in Bloom" (thats what they call the flower section)
2)My Old School was playing and for some reason it had crossed my mind a few times over the months to post a link to that song, so today's the day I'll do it.

Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful
Today, down the street from where I am now living, on the NOVA Annandale campus, this very cool lady from Spark Media showed us some clips from some of her films (including one called "Partners of the Heart" which Morgan Freeman narrated for free!) And she does accept interns...Some other interesting things on a list she compiled (which I have yet to check but will put on here as a reminder!)
