Go Shawtay It's ya Birfday...

Yeah yeah...So I'm celebrating my birthday today woo hoo! But more importantly I'm also celebrating the 75th birthday of my beautiful abuela. Isn't she a fox? I just hope I am able to not only make it to 75 but do it with as much grace and love for her family as she has. Love ya Gwennie!

And for all you people that get hot over linguistics there is even more reason to celebrate. Today is Dictionary Day!! It commemorates the birthday of American lexicographer Noah Webster, born October 16, 1758.

So go ape shyt over a game of scrabble today in honor of ole' Noah and while you're at it have a drink for Gwennie and her granddaughter.

I'm Voting for "That One"

Gone but not forgotten

I just wanted to thank all my friends for all the prayers and well wishes I received regarding my brother. For those of you that did not know he was injured when his Humvee hit a roadside bomb last week. Cut, bruised and left with a concussion we are beyond blessed to have him with us.

Three of his "brothers" were killed in the incident. Sgt. 1st Class Jamie S. Nicholas, and Sgt. 1st Class Gary J. Vasquez(both pictured right next to Amon at the far left) and Captain Ritchie Cliff.

For their families I send my deepest condolences. These are the times that makes me the most vulnerable and disenchanted with the polices of our military and government as a whole. How many more people have to die? As my friend Jay told me the only thing we can do is VOTE. So please be sure to make your voice heard and vote for the one person that will get our troops home. I really dont want to write any more posts about this.
