the time has come.....

so why haven't i been posting??

1. I'm lazy
2. I don't have much to say
3. The times I'm near a computer, I'm tired

Right now, all three of the above apply. But I'm gonna suck it up, and try to write a little bit.

Times are starting to get exciting in South America. Carnaval is quickly approaching, which means that everyone under the age of 60 gets excited. Grown men find themselved chucking water balloons at helpless youngsters, while the youngsters devise over-ly complex plans to wet the elderly (which is everyone above the age of 30 for them). Women who think it is a childish thing to do suddenly begin filling water balloons out of revenge and protection, and gringos find themselves constantly running for cover, lest they get the brunt of everyones pent-up water-balloon-throwing energy.

Knowing that this is my last Carnaval for a few years (at least I think), I am saving up my energy for one day. I am saving up my balloons for one day. I am saving everything I have, for one glorious day of gringo revenge. I will wet the young and the old, the teething and the balding, and the male and the female.

You see, Wes and I have begun discussing plans. We have a catapult (sp?) in our mind, built on our Deck, and able to hit anyone within a square mile. In addition, I have the support of twelve 8th grade students (possibly less depending on the mood of the girls). And lets face it, 8th grade boys, and anyone willing to teach 8th grade boys, were made for this holiday.

This is the month where water is our friend, and childhood returns to everyone, the young and the old. It is the month of Carnaval....the greatest holiday ever created.....
