We are still racists

Christmas is round the corner. You can tell it for the millions of commercials on TV about peace, love and family getting together. It's funny that while some are trying to reunite between ourselves, others look after the differences. Ok, I’m first on the line to be proud of each one own heritage, but it ends being sick when you bring it to the extreme.USA has been critizised many times in the past few years for their despair of anything not WASP. But it seems that’s about to change with Mr. Obama. The Government of the new kid in the block (sorry, in the Office) will include minorities from almost everywhere: gays, women, blacks, Hispanics,...

Pirates!

I'm late. I know, and I'm sorry. It's something I'm trying to solve, but I can't help it. I'm one of those people genetically programmed to always arrive late. And my Latin blood makes the rest.

Arriving late to the blogosphere made me lose the American presidential campaign -nowadays, if you lost it as well, here is a good two minutes resume- or what some people...
