Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year to all, may you have a healthy and prosperous one!

I was celebrating at my friend parents' house and by 11:30 p.m. everybody was rushing home before the "shots started". After almost five years in exile here in AZ, I finally realized that the reason I couldn't see the fireworks from my apartment window was not because they were probably far away, but because the sound I heard was not of fireworks but guns being shot in the air.........suddenly, living on the third floor didn't seem like the safest place to be.

Adios 2009 (miserable year!), hola 2010 (full of promise)!
