Hillary Clinton

Presidential hopeful, Hillary Clinton, was at the new McAllen Convention Center yesterday. I didn't get the chance to go meet her because I had to go to class. I am more of an Obama guy but rumor has it that Hillary and Obama will visit the valley at least 2 more times before our primaries.

Heres why:

Texas has 140 democratic delegates, second only to California. However, the majority of the state is predominantly Republican. The Valley (South Texas), however, has the largest concentration of democratic voters in the state. (see map)




So its logical for the democratic candidates to focus on this area of the state. Another thing, the around 3/5 of Texas democrats are Hispanic. These voters seem to favor Hillary over Barack. Consequently, Obama has a lot of campaigning to do here if he wants to win the delegates.

Sitting waiting wishing

I'm at a bus stop waiting for the school shuttle to take me to campus . . . Its very hot . . . Around 90¤ F . . Funny that around a week ago it was in the high 30s.

I've been thinking about summer and what I want to do for my 21st B-day . I really want to go to Europe for the summer or backpack through South America for a few weeks.

Summer is still a long time from now. .

Well see how it goes.

Déficit




I have been waiting for this movie for a few months now........ Can't wait to see it....


About the movie:

Actor Gael García Bernal's directing debut is infused with an infectious, youthful energy, voyeuristically following his complex characters at a house party just outside of Mexico City.

Bourgeois, rich kid Cristobal (García Bernal) is having his friends over for a barbecue at his parents' weekend home. His younger sister (Camila Sodi) and her hippie, pill-popping friends are also staying at the house, and the clash between the two groups of friends, brother and sister, and their childhood friend who works for the family is just the beginning of the story.

Bernal uses subtle undercurrents of tension to seamlessly interlace characters, time and place. Both comic and reflective, DEFICIT is an elegant allegory for current Mexico on the brink of change. Shot in an immediate, improvisational style that emphasizes the class chasms, Bernal elicits layered performances from his young cast, proving himself to be a gifted director as well as a charismatic actor.

BlackBerry Curve


So I just got a new phone a few weeks ago...

It's the Blackberry Curve..

I like it..... But It could be better...

I like how you can download and install different types of applications like Gmail and Google Maps.

It also has a GPS built in to it.

What I dont like is that it is very BUSINESS.... Not very fun... or cool looking...

Its as close as to the iphone as I was going to get...

All in all its a nice gadget that takes some SERIOUS getting used to.....

I wonder if you can blog on it.....

Pepperdine






Im pretty sure you guys know this by now, but my previous school, Pepperdine University as well as Malibu is under fire...

I hope that everyone is ok...

I can't believe that the fire actually made its way onto campus this time.

Hopefully firefighters can get it under control and stop it.

I am positive that Malibu can get back onto its feet again.

My heart is with you guys!
