I went to see the producers again this past Saturday night....sooooo cool! I actually spent a little more money this time so I could get something other than the nose bleed seats like we had last time.

The time when 1,500 sugar-starved middle-schoolers make a darting dash for the lunch line where semi-frozen french fries and some substance resembling meat await them. There is indeed nothing like it in the whole world.
Surprisingly, today has been a good day. The kids are apparently on their medication and I am fairly relaxed after a hectic, non-stop weekend.

A few days ago the VMA's were on, and every news station in the world covered them. And goodness heck (sorry, Utah speaking), when those nasty skank hoes kissed, I mean freak, we're STILL talking about it. Today were the Latin Grammy Awards, awesome, amazing music, and I have heard no more than 10 seconds talked about it on any television station.

Copper is a BOY dog). But we were able to sit down, work through our problems, and come to a reasonable conclusion: I promise to play more fetch with Copper if he promises to stop peeing on my tires. Now that is how a relationship should be!

No me has llamado
Estoy desesperado
Son muchas lunas
Las que te he llorado

Es mas facil llegar al sol
Que a tu corazan
A tu casa yo fui
Y no te encontra
En el parque,
En la plaza en el cine
Yo te busqua
Te tengo atrapada
Entre mi piel y mi alma
