the village buzz

file this under: you go girl!

although it was under duress, i can say that i spent around ten years under lydia’s flag. the church and i never saw eye to eye, but it was not really for fundamental differences, it was more that she had a target demographic that i was not a part of.

it was almost like i was a different kind of game than the game she was hunting.

but, i can tell you that this article is accurate, and non embellished. i can tell you that because i was there. i can tell you she was a good lady. i can tell you that although our views were completely different, she never waivered.. i think we agreed to disagree…

and i can tell you that the places she talks about in the article are in fact the scariest and most dangerous places on earth.. not that there is a contest.. but you are in just as much danger there than anywhere else that is horrible..

i used to go to those places as a kid out of curiosity.. these days, i would never go back to the bad areas.. just because it is too dangerous.. unless someone i knew wanted the best lunch ever (in la colonia)

but.. lydia, if you ever wonder.. i am proud of you..

i do miss some of those people..

the bautista clan - especially david and liz.. sorry i was so hard to deal with..

nini and cindy - you guys rocked..

joe r. - what are you doing these days, stretch?

steve n. - what about you? what are you doing these days?

bobby - you still play piano?

nishi and tonia - you guys still hangin in there?

arnie n. - where are you these days?

if you recognize your name there, drop me a line..
