Where did it go?
The inflammatory post which spurned us to write what we did has been removed. For the sake of understanding what got us into such a tizzy, I’ll post a copy of it. Here it is: I’m definitely in the anger stage of grief, but bear with me I have always tried to believe that everybody…

Part 2
By the way, how is my mom obsessive and controlling if she let us move to Maryland and go to school at Cornell? YOUR mother is the one that had you go to school just 45 minutes away. And how is she selfish if she paid for your damn Disney ticket? And my parents took…

Pardon this Tangent from Linux, Politics and Philosophy
When Ashley left comments on my AIM like “lies may be ok in your family, but mine,” and “Your family can be really hard on girlfriends,” Danielle asked me if I was goign to mount a response. I told her I would not. Although I disagreed with Ashley’s contentions, I told Danielle, “I feel that…

Merry Christmas!
This was one of the best Christmas celebrations either in spite of or because it was so simple. I got some really great gifts including: Final Fantasy 6: Grand Finale – this CD has some AWESOME symphonic recordings of the best songs of FF6 Fantastic Plastic Machine: Les Plus – a great remix CD of…

Thanksgiving
The timing of this holiday is perfect. Coming near the end of the year, there are basically 11 months upon which to look back on. As my wife reminded me last weekend, a lot have happened this year. As a matter of fact, I think this has been the most eventful year of my life.…

The Balloon Project (Or Happy Birthday Abuela Part 2)
While talking to my mom last night she asked me to do her a favor. For today, her mother’s birthday, she asked me to write a message on a balloon and let it go into the air, metaphorically going to my grandmother in Heaven. I did it, taking pictures to document the act because that…

Happy Birthday Abuela
Today would have been my grandmother’s birthday. She died this past March during my Spring Break and I loved her very much. I know that she’s up in Heaven now having a heckuva time with her husband who was taken from her more than twenty years ago. She remained faithful to him to the last…

profoundly sad
If I were someone else, I’d cry. I don’t cry for much, though, so I’m not. Today I got some luggage as a wedding present from my grandmother who passed away during Spring Break. She actually had a little piggy bank where she had been saving up money for my wedding present. It came out…

One more day!
Just one more day until two key things occur: Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy comes out and Daniel’s girlfriend comes up to Ithaca. I’m really excited about the movie because it’s been getting some awesome reviews and I think that it is a wonderful and smartly funny story. Douglas Adams is awesome. I’m happy that…

Happy Birthday!
I wanted to wish a happy birthday to the most special girl in my life (other than my mother) who is the best cook in the world – my fiancee – Danielle! Happy Birthday! It’s too bad we couldn’t be together on your birthday this year, but that will never be a problem again once…

new stuff
My grandmother was buried today. Everything has revolved around the burial and funeral. It’s been weird meeting people and talking about the future with these sad events around. Not much else to say – I’m very low on sleep. The funeral went from 4p to 1a. Burial stuff began at 9a. Didn’t think I’d ever…

the end is here
If you are in a hospital, you will know you’re about to die when your entire family suddenly starts coming in with more and more frequency. My grandmother died today after nearly eight decades of life. I was really close to her and I loved her so much. Ever since I was a little kid…

Youngest Sibling Weekend was awesome
This weekend my youngest brother and my fiancee’s youngest sister (with her best friend) came up to see us at school. It was one of the most fun times I’ve had here at Cornell. I don’t think I have as much fun with too many other people as when I’m with my brothers. We’re usually…
