FINALLY!!!! I've got this one friend who I am very close to but every year, when his birthday is around the corner I never know what to get him. It's like I know him so well, that I can't find the perfect gift for him. Plus he is a lot like me. Weird, unpredictable and disgusted by reality shows. BUT last night, as I was trying to kill some time on the net, I've found IT. I'm gonna give him a mango tree. (I'd give him an avocado tree but it would only be good in about 5 years). See below
If you want to join Coldplay and help the environment then why not plant a tree in the Coldplay forest? The forest is in Bangalore, India and is planted with Mango trees which as well as soaking up CO2 also provides a food source and income stream for the local Indian farmers, so you really will be making a valuable contribution. We'll send you a customised Coldplay certificate and a map of the site to thank you for your contribution.
Now I only have to wait 'til August 15th for his birthday

No matter how rich you become, how famous or powerful, when you die the size of your funeral will still pretty much depend on the weather.

Last Friday, my buddy Dan and I went to a shopping center to get him some new shoes. Once we got there, I realized, to my excitement, that because Easter is so close, those yearly miniature farms had already been set up. So after Dan bought his shoes we (o.k. maybe just me) went crazy over those little animals, trying to steal little cutie chicks and stuff them in Dan's new shoe box. But the maintenance guy said it wasn't a good idea because they need to be kept warm all the time (pffff as if Dan's shoes aren't warm enough!!) So anyways, we got to a cage where two really big fat peacocks were just hangin' on a pole and as Dan was yelling out loud to an old lady "Those babies would really be nice on a BBQ hey lady!?!" I noticed that a bunch of wrinkly old folks were sitting on couches right in the middle of the hall. You know what I'm talking about; in every mall, there's a spot where a random furniture store exposes some "in season" sofas. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate old people, not at all, cause I know one day I'll be old too so I respect them. But the thing is, I find it oh so very pathetic to see them just sitting on their couch, and knowing that another one of their old friend is gonna show up that day and sit beside him/her cause that's what their life has become. Giving "rendez-vous" on a couch in a mall. And what do they talk about? Absolutely nothing. They just sit there and look around, blowing their nose once in a while and sticking that Kleenex back into their sleeve. I was thinking of becoming a Big Sister for a child but maybe I should become a Little Sister for one of those elderly people and take him/her bowling or something. That could be good for my karma!

HOLLY *BEEP*!!!!! I was surfing the net to figure out the best way to grow an avocado tree and here's a fact that I didn't know about "Keep in mind that avocados planted from seed take anywhere from 5 to 13 years before they flower and produce fruit." Might as well get to it right now!

O.k., this is it folks!! I am now attempting to grow an avocado tree for good. I've got 5 nice big seeds on their way of giving birth to some beautiful living trees... o.k. there's no sign yet that something is gonna grow out of neither one of those seeds but hey, I've got lots of positive thoughts for them! AND I'm approximatly in my ovulation period right now so I'm thinking that if I spend lots of time with those babies, I'll eventualy see some fertilization process going on in those cotton balls!!

Here is an American joke I found on an American website. There will be no further comments thank you.

One day a father and a child were walking down Mahattan Island. This was the
year 2032 and as the boy and the father were walking the father stopped and
told his son "see there son that is where your grandfather died during the
terrorist attack to the world trade center".

Then the boys asked in a confused way "what's a world trade center?" The
father answered by saying it was two of the biggest buildings in the World
but it was destroyed by a mad man from Afghanistan."

The boy was once again confused and asked "uhhhh Dad, what's Afghanistan?"

Your quote of the day:
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.

Yesterday I was watching a T.V. show about some women's love stories and how they magically found their loved ones. It was pathetically fluffy and had too much of that cheesy-romantic thing going on. And then I started thinking about my first "moment" with my boy...
We were sitting in the kitchen and he was talking about something that was really interesting at the beginning but the moment I layed eyes on his lips, I stopped listening to him and I just stared at his lips which seemed to be dancing as the words softly came out of his mouth. I was so caught in the moment that I cut him off and sayed "Would you mind if I'd brush your teeth?" All embarrassed he answers "O.k. so either I have really bad breath or I've got a big chunk stuck between my teeth!" (that's when I realized how stupid my question was) "NO NO!! I mean... it's just that... I feel like brushing your teeth, that's all!" (you see, it was my way of seeing how crazy this guy was, or on the negative side, how conventional he was) his answer "o.k., wanna do it in the bathroom or right here in the kitchen?" (Bingo!!!) So I answered back "Don't move, I'll get the toothbrush and the toothpaste"
So that's how my love story began *sigh*
