BIG NEWS

I know it's been about a zillion years since I've written in this. Im not even sure people read it anymore. But...I don't like the scoldings I've gotten for not letting people know I am getting married. In about a year. Not exact date is set. We're too busy right now moving in together. We haven't done the formal engagement thing either. I suppose we will once we have time again. But don't expect to ever see a diamond on these hands. I don't want the blood of young African children on conscious or on my jewelery. Once we set a date and place I will let everyone know. Also, it's not the kind of wedding where there will be bridesmades and groomsmens and flower girls. It will be an outdoor wedding -most likely in a park and will be in an indigenous way. There will be a reception and I hope that will be a party and a half. I am thinking taco cart, and multiple kinds of cake, fun activities for kids (I hate weddings where kids "aren't allowed to attend", lots of good music and lots of friends and family...But all that in time. I will be sure to keep everyone updated henceforth.

Fuck all. Capitalism is organizing itself fot the growing numbers of Raza (who drink). What does that say about our need to organize ourselves for our own well being. (And yes I understand Raza is not one unified monolithic group) This article annoys me

Nueva York. La compañía estadunidense Brown-Forman compró la marcas mexicanas Tequila Herradura y El
Jimador por 876 millones de dólares para consolidar su posición en este sector, impulsado por la cada vez mayor presencia hispana en Estados Unidos.

El acuerdo alcanzado con el Grupo Industrial Herradura también incluye la adquisición de una nueva marca de mezcla de tequila lista para servir, así como factorías y su red de ventas y distribución en México, indicó en un comunicado la empresa estadunidense.

Brown-Forman, fabricante del whiskey Jack Daniel"s y el vodka Finlandia, dijo que la operación reducirá sus ganancias entre ocho y 12 centavos de dólar por acción en el año fiscal 2007, incluyendo los costos de transición y otros gastos extraordinarios.

La operación estará completada antes del 31 de diciembre, después de obtener el visto bueno de las autoridades competentes tanto en Estados Unidos como en México.

"Estas marcas nos ayudarán a hacer avanzar nuestro negocio en la creciente población hispana de los Estados Unidos y a incrementar nuestra participación en la excitante cultura de cocktails del país, dado que el Margarita, que se hace a base de tequila, es el trago más
pedido", dijo Paul Varga, presidente ejecutivo de Brown-Forman.

La compañía fundada en 1870 en Lousiville, Kentucky, vendió en 2005, 2.7 mil millones de dólares, de los que 2.1 mil millones los obtuvo de su división de vinos y licores.

A Strager Love

A stranger will tell you
"Your boyfriend is so lucky!"
remind you of the beauty mark
you'd forgotten about
count the teeth in your smile
say your laugh, your breath
is sexy
compliment your un-manicured feet
notice you're wearing gold lipstick
trimmed with brown eyeliner
recognize the scent of your body oil
tell you where you bought it
pay attention to you words
think it's wonderful how fast you talk
and how much you have to say!

He will turn his head and be forced
to admit he couldn't pay attention
your brown eyes got in the way
he won't be able to handle your pain
he will think you are perfect because he is a stranger
and
you are lucky
because if he loved you
he wouldn''t have ever
noticed.
