BBQ in Hodges: Fiesta fiesta

We had fun last week. The food was good. Y la asocacion era mejor!!!
Gracias a todos que contribuyeron a su exito! Vamos a hacer otra vez? Claro que si. =)

I forgot to publish this pic earlier. This is the finished KH from last week. And to think on Thursday it was just a foundation. On Sunday it just needs a certificate of occupancy. Sweet! 

So I thought I would share my two fave Dilbert cartoons.
The first one is funny to me because it illustrates the lack of respect for inadequate managment. And when I see cartoons like this one I am grateful that my boss is not an idiot.
The second one is funny to me because it is SO-O-O true. This cartoon describes EXACTLY how some upper management people sounded when the CEO was to visit our site. And I was thinking "This man has a PhD. Do they think that he will see through their BS?" When HR practices are not always so people-friendly or show respect for people, there is the concern that someone might take the opportunity to bum rush the CEO and let him know what is really going on in the work place.  

I got some comments about stuff happening the world

-More than four years after her headless body was found, a child known nationally as "Precious Doe" has been identified and her mother has been
charged in connection with her death, authorities in Kansas City, Missouri, said today. Erica Michelle Maria Green was days away from her fourth birthday when she died. Officers searching for a missing man found her body on April 28, 2001, in a wooded area. Her head, wrapped in a trash bag, was found days later. With no hint of natural affection for her child- I mean what kind of sicko decapitates her own daughter- I think she deserves whatever punishment is given to her.

-All the bombings in Iraq. Can you Iraqis stop blowing stuff up? We get it. You hate Americans. But I want to know where in the Koran does it say you are supposed to terrorize people. And don't give me that BS that Americans are the real terrorists. Blah blah blah. That still does not justify blowing up markets, police stations, etc etc.

-And all these little girls being killed by child molesters. How twisted do you have to be to get your rocks off from little girls. I hope all of you go to prison and get EXACTLY what you deserve (not from the justice system but from other inmates). And another question: Why ACLU support does NAMBLA? I don't think that America's forefathers thought this perversion would be an issue when they were talking about the freedom of speech.

-And I heard that there is supposed to be a movie about Jesus and apostles being gay. And I have decided that there is absolutely no sense left in the world. These people have to be smoking crack cut with rat poison to have been able to come up with some so obscenely perverse.

And that is all I have to say about that.

Black people STOP making up names for your kids! You are not doing them any favors.

Last weekend I went to Laurens SC to help with the construction of a new KH. I am on the suspended ceiling crew- which is cool. So these are a few of photos when we were trying to get this job done. We were so busy on Saturday that I forgot to take any pics. So this is just Sunday.  

Spur of the moment parties are the most fun
I decided to invite a few friends for dinner and a movie. Well it was more like BBQ and a movie. All good if you ask me. On the menu was BBQ chicken (cocinado por David y bien rico), corn on the cob, hot dogs, hamburgers, and salad. For dessert, there was a light no bake cheesecake (but not out of a box kind) and ultra moist chocolate cake (tambien el biscocho era bien rico-yo hice pero no estoy jactandome- tu sabes). We danced and little and saw "Flight of the Phoenix". Some movies are better when there are many people sharing jokes about the movie. And everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.
I don't want to get too excited, but I am already thinking about when can we do it again. But then I don't want to hear in a year, "Remember that party, I didn't like that..." or "I wish we could have done this..." because then I will be pissed. That has happened to me before and probably the main reason why I don't throw a lot of parties. But this crew seems cool and laid back. Next time, I hope to throw a Saturday shindig so that my girl Shakaira can come. And I hope that Gris gets to come too.  

Everyone is mesmorized 

Bon Fires are cool... 

That is why its called the GRAND CANYON 

My bro Cyro got props this week. The funny thing is that he is on the list of Who’s Who of Junior college students, yet he did not know that. We were all laughing during the announcements and then they called his name. How funny. He had to run up to the stage to get his certificate. The other guy in the picture is Cyro’s fave instructor. I think he actually nominated him for the award. In his speech he said that Cyro’s intelligence and humor will be missed the most. I was impressed.
