It’s 1:54a and this is what I’m writing about:
Compare and contrast Theocritus’ Idylls, the Israelite Song of Songs, and the Sumerian Inanna-Dumuzi songs. Make and defend a claim about what similarities and differences that exist between them. Provide specific examples to demonstrate your conclusions. Address issues both of content and style. What might these similarities and...
I miss LA
Lupita: So where are you planning on leaving your car?
Me: I was thinking of leaving it at your house. Is that cool?
Lupita: Is Gabby taking his to NV? You can take his spot.
Me: Yeah, he is. But if anything, I can just park it on the street, or in El Monte.
Lupita: NO! Not on the street! I'm sure you can leave it inside.
Me: Why not on the street? Will the paisas of La Puente steal it!!?? lol.
Lupita: Neh, but the cholos of El Monte will!
If you have 50 minutes to spare, you should DEFINITELY watch this documentary. It’s about the violence between drug cartels and government forces of Mexico. You should also catch any other docs on Current TV’s Vanguard. They’re ridiculously awesome.
Enjoy.
Have a great time. I heard that New York is infested with CHINCHES!
– lol. Arturo Maldonado [my tio] I think my family is trying their hardest to get me NOT to go to New York. I say, if I can stay in Mexico knowing my great chances of having a scorpion crawl over me while I’m sleeping, I’m sure I can handle a couple of bed bugs. haha :)

Day 22- What makes you different from everyone else
Meh, I don’t really like this one, so I’ll keep it simple. Everything, absolutely everything. No one in the world can be close to being me. Why? I would give this one to genetics. It’s a wonderful and powerful thing, my loves.

Day 18- Plans/dreams/goals you have
I want to be someone in life. I want to have a fulfilling job. Not just something that pays the bills. I want to do something that when I go to sleep it makes me think, “I’m going to make a difference.” I’ve always seen this opportunity in medicine. I can’t see myself doing anything that doesn’t involve wearing scrubs,...

Day 13- A letter to someone who has hurt you recently
This one is hard. No one has really hurt me recently. So I’m just gonna write a letter to the one person who has hurt me the most:
Hey you,
I used to think you sucked pretty hard and I still believe you’ve made some pretty huge mistakes. Out of all of the guys in our group, I always thought you were the smartest. It saddens...

Day 12- How you found out about Tumblr and why you made one
I actually found out about Tumblr through my friendizzle Seojie! One day she comes up to me and says, “I created a Tumblr! It’s a blog!” I quickly made fun of her and said, “Pppsh, blogs are for losers!” I then decided to check it out. I fell in love. The simplicity really won me over. The next day in...
