Key West Florida

by AlvarezGalloso @ 2007-10-23 - 21:13:12

On October 2007 with my wife and daughter, we took our first trip to Key West. We drove from Miami all the way to Key West on US 1 until we reached our hotel La Concha Inn.

La Concha Inn was a place where writers such as Hemingway stayed and received his inspirations. La Concha also inspired me to write this article about Key West.

After settling down, I took my wife and daughter on the tour in which we started with the Sears Shopping Center. Both were not content so we went to Duval Street.

On the way to Duval Street, we went to the Catholic Church called St. Mary's By The Sea which is one of the most beautiful churches in Key West. We then proceeded to go to the Southernmost Pier in Key West. It was almost night time and we were able to see La Habana Cuba from a distance.

Afterwords, we went to Instituto San Carlos [which used to be the Cuban Consulate in Key West until 1958] and enjoyed the review of Cuban History including the life and times of Jose Marti [Father of Cuban Independence]. We passed through the various stores in Duval Street and had supper at the local Hard Rock Cafe.

When we arrived at the Hard Rock Cafe, two of the employees invited my wife, my daughter, and myself to write something at the cement at the entrance. My daughter took her chalk and wrote: "Save the Rain Forest" and "Help Fight Breast Cancer". The Hard Rock Cafe applauded since my daughter is 11 years old. I was challenged to write something else which was "Protect The Earth". We enjoyed our supper of Roast Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, and Vegetables.

After Hard Rock Cafe, we went to Mallory Square to enjoy the sunset. It was an unforgettable moment.


 
 

Washington wants to control the Internet

by AlvarezGalloso @ 2007-10-23 - 21:12:19

In the same vein of the Communist Military Authorities in Cuba, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, the Republican/Democratic/Military Establishment has decided to tax the Internet and take away our freedom in the process. It is not enough to finance a genocidal war in the Middle East and threaten Iran with invasion. It is not enough that our savings have been depleted to finance a corrupt lifestyle known by the Republicans and Democrats.

Ever since the Internet went public, the dictators of the USA called Republicans and Democrats have always wanted to tighten the screws and the events of the 11th of September 2001 [theoretically planned in Hollywood in a movie which was later canceled] have given more ammunition to these "people".

Instead of taxing the Internet, the Republicans and Democrats should register as a private entity since their business is to get votes. The Republicans and Democrats should also pay taxes like everyone else. In fact, Gore should pay taxes for his Nobel Peace Prize.

The Republicans and Democrats should be forced out of power by peaceful means so that we could restore our Constitution and sanity with the Libertarian Party.

Instead of taxing the Internet, we the people in order to form a more perfect union should withdraw from the Middle East, Korea, the UN, NATO, and all other international organizations.

Instead of sitting down, the people of America should say "Enough Is Enough" and ask the government to get out of our schools, private lives, our Churches, our ways of life. The government should be privatized and learn to compete with the private sector for customers. After all, the government is a business.

Decline of US Television

by AlvarezGalloso @ 2007-10-23 - 21:11:24


There was a time when the television had educational material such as Bernstein giving children lessons in classical music via CBS. There was also a time when Red Skelton, Jimmy Durante, Jack Benny, and The Three Stooges used to entertain without the use of foul language or stirring hatred. I have to use my DVD to enjoy these classics.

Unfortunately these days have disappeared and the television in America has become decadent, vulgar, undignified, with promotion of prostitution. Who cannot forget the series "Desperate Housewives" with the cliche of women "not getting sex from their husbands and looking elsewhere". Who cannot forget the part where one of the actresses said to the plumber: "Can You Fix My Pipes?" in a sexual innuendo.

Where there is lack of respect there is also racism, the same programme "Desperate Housewives" whose stars promote prostitution because maybe the artists in their unconscious minds have "tendencies of prostitutes" insulted the Philippines and the Health Care Profession in the Philippines.

Where there is decline in the television, the society follows as well with the Republicans and Democrats attacking each other over personality flaws. Even Hollywood has the people going after the news story of Ellen De Generes Dog, with the antics of a Lindsey Lohan, Britney Spears, Nicole Richie, and Paris Hilton. US Society stinks in its present state since there are almost no family entertainment [unless a person can go to public television, or sports].

I myself have seen in the Internet television from China, and The Muslim World with their promotion of family values. One has to wander if many people are turning off the USA and turning onto the Islamic World because of this.

I have also seen television programmes and movies from India with Bollywood and Lollywood being superior in taste and morality to Hollywood.

Drogba y Chelsea II

by AlvarezGalloso @ 2007-10-23 - 18:19:20


Drogba parece haberse arrepentido de sus comentarios acerca del Chelsea. Las razones fueron el rechazo de los hinchas de Chelsea y el aviso del nuevo gerente Grant.

Si quieres tu trabajo y el lugar donde vives, debes dar lo maximo. Si no, debes buscar otro lugar y otro trabajo

Mbeki, Sudafrica, y la Copa Mundial 2010 [ES] [EN]

by AlvarezGalloso @ 2007-10-23 - 18:14:08


El Presidente de Sudafrica Mbeki hablo en la television sudafricana acerca de la necesidad de cambiar el nombre del equipo. Segun El Presidente Mbeki, los nombres de los equipos son vestigios del pasado racista de Sudafrica y hay que "profundizar, refundar, y profesionalizar" el nombre del equipo de futbol nacional de Sudafrica.

El Presidente y El Tecnico del equipo nacional de Sudafrica mostraron su apoyo. Tambien, estoy de acuerdo con el cambio de nombre por la mismas razones.

South African President Mbeki announced in an interview with South African Television that the National Football Team of South Africa should change their names. The reason is to "eliminate vestiges of racism, and professionalize the South African Team". The President and Manager of the South African Football Team announced that they were in agreement. Roberto is also in agreement with the proposal and changes.

Drogba 100% With Chelsea

by AlvarezGalloso @ 2007-10-23 - 17:58:29


Drogba has announced publicly that he is "100% behind Chelsea" and that he maintains "contact with Mourinho".

This change of heart apparently came after the reaction of Chelsea Supporters to his interview with France Football Magazine. Another reason was the fact that Grant had a private talk with Drogba.

Lessons to be learned is that if you love something, give 100% of your effort. If you do not love what you do, go to another place.

Roberto is also glad to consider Chelsea one of his favourite teams. While he supported Celtics, he became a convert to Chelsea [as well as English Football] after it helped in his recovery from a food allergy which threatened to close his vocal cords. For this and much more, Roberto is forever grateful to English Football [including teams such as Chelsea].
