Feelin’ the love

Wednesday Nov 28, 2007

Thanks to all who wished me a Happy Birthday on Monday via email, Facebook, telephone and telepathy. I really appreciate it. In the future, though, if any of you want to band together to get me a gift basket–not just limited to my birthday–the picture below is a nice example of a proper “man’s gift basket” that will sure to be received with much cheer and joy. I’m just sayin’… ;)

I started to read your moving experience and just couldn’t go on. I was a student at UAG and between their ineptitude and the whole Mexican scene of incompetence, I was transported back to a time where my life was mired in that daily struggle and I stopped reading. Good luck to you in the future…you will need it (and the Stoli) to get through the next 2 years.

I’m not sure where I can find “Ranch Style Frijoles” around here, unfortunately, but I’m sure they’ll go well with the Bacardi. Oh, and Happy Birthday (even though I didn’t know about it then)

I was one of the telepathic ones. HBD.

Let’s not make generalizations about incompetence based on a few personal experiences. Yes, the culture is different…but if you look at everything through American-arrogance-colored glasses you’ll never be able to appreciate the good things about the country you live in (there actually are good things in every country, gasp!)

I actually have the reverse experience from Enrico, I was born and raised in Mexico and now I’m attending medical school in the US. I like a lot of things about the US, hate some others. Also, though there were things in Mexico that need to be improved, there are also good things that I miss about that country (gasp!).

PS. This is for the first commenter, not necessarily for Enrico.

Happy birthday! I am a former medical student (so many years ago!!) and a medical doctor with master degree, made in Mexico, born in Mexico. Mexico is a surrealistic country. So, be patient.
