The state of affairs in America is very sorry. People are having a hard time identifying a life, maintaining a life, and even building a life. It is like overnight every thing became unaffordable and life turned to attack certain people. Many people are trying hard but fighting in vain. This results in social problems, increase in mental health problems, and lack of political involvement. The worse thing is I cannot see an answer to the problem. Well, that would be wrong. I am a...

The news of today May 1, 2007 was all the immigartion protest that were suppose to happen around cities in the United States of America. In El Paso, Texas the protesters did not start their exhibition until after the lunch hour. Thier initial group looked to be around ten people. Then during the next half hour it grew to about 30 or 40. The federal officers and sherrifs department of the county of El Paso, Texas started preparing for the protersters arrival around 8am. At the prote...

Who are we to think we have complete control of our lives? The truth is that we do have control and the choices we make will have complete impact in our destiny. I was thinking today about message I could bring to people. This is a hard question because I don’t believe in anything anymore. Today was a good example of the perversity of my life. On Friday, the taxi I work broke down. There is supposed to be a wrecker service available because the people I rent the taxi from also own t...

The reason I call the University of Texas at El Paso screw U TEP is because that is their standard answer when you try to interact with one of their offices. Today, I was back at this horrid institution to turn in some papers their financial aid office requested. The first thing I did was stop at the office of admissions and ask for the status of the application I had resubmitted a week and a half ago. The person at the counter looked like breathing was a problem for him. However, a...

Today I will write about whom some of the women of my life were and what were my goals with them. First, like anyone else when I was young I was romanced by the idea of romance. I would my self dancing underneath the moonlight, talking with the woman, exchanging some words of affection, taking an interest, and many nights of love making. Now the depression is too much to deal with and I know I would not be able to give a woman the attention she deserves. However, the first girl I r...

If life were everything we expected, there would be no disappointment. However, do we really know what is appropriate to expect from life? I was meditating and I asked myself if I remember when I acquired my philosophy of life. I know for a long time I have been thinking about human behavior in terms of human psychology. However, what I wanted to know from myself was when did I receive an understanding about everything that encompasses life. The truth is that I do not know. If I w...

People think I make this stuff up. On tuesday I was so exhausted that I caved in and came home for a rest. Wednesday morning when I got in to the cab to start my glorious day of business the cab was fuelless and with a dead battery. Well I did what I had to and got to the job site. After my first fare, on my way back to the taxi stand the rear tire went flat. When I took it to the tire guy, he couldn't find anything wrong with the tire. He, basically cleaned the edge of the rim and pu...

I can answer most of the questions people have about the actions of the law enforcement involved in the shootings of Monday April 16, 2007. Before I do let me throw my credentials on the table. I have a B.A. in psychology and a B.S. in psychology. In addition, I worked in the security industry for 10 years, seven and half in a for profit hospital. First, thing I am going to tell you, you do not want to hear. All organizations and/or companies try to keep cost of security departments ...

This is el paso, texas. We are in the year 2007 and ugly buildings like these can still exist in so called progressive cities. Free Images

The last significant time of my life is right now. This battle with screw U TEP is the news of my life today. Before this time was finishing of 2006 and entering 2007 fighting to keep my sanity. Before then, I was keeping my head down and trying to just get through it. Then I ran in to the financial struggle of entering 2007. It has been depressing and exhausting. Through it all, I have trying to maintain some semblance of a normal life. I wonder what that is. Today, a profound ...

The saga continues. Apparently, I am registered for a course during the summer session. However, I am not registered in the office of admissions at screw U TEP. Now some one explain how that could happen. As for the taxi, it still sucks. My personal life I am not going to do anything about. There is just no reason to include a woman in my madness. Besides when you are going to be romantically involved, I think you should be a real person with gainfull employment. Well at least...

Well screw U TEP (this is what I call it) launched its second missile across my borders today. I received a letter informing me that there were some papers missing for my financial aid application and this was the second notice they have sent me. It is the first one I received. It really does not matter. I already have my mind set on working the long hours to finance this part of my educational career. I am not surprised though. This is the level service at stupid UTEP. In fact, if...

The life of Mr. Jesus Lopez-Ledesma: day two of writings. Ok. Therefore, what is on my mind today? Well, it really does not matter cause I plan to dedicate my entry today to God. The reason is that I do not believe you can live my 41 year old life and not learn a thing or two about how life functions. What have I learned? Well I have concluded that no matter how hard you work life will always be against you. This last statement scares me. I am afraid of the reproach from God. ...

This is the life of Mr. Jesus Lopez-Ledesma. I plan to write it by starting in the future and working my way back to where I was born. In the year 2007 I confronted the worst days of my life to date. The whole month of February I was sick with body temperature and a mouth infection that made it painful to drink or eat. January was nothing but panic and struggling to make ends meat. In March, the bottom completely fell out of the business I am in and I am now working everyday of th...

I think it that it is horribly wrong to judge a person in a negative way just because he does something every day people do everyday. In my opinion, Mr. Imus just used words that I am sure those basketball players from Rutgers, their coaches, the school adminsitrators, and many others use on a regualr basis. In addition, if the african-american civil rights movement is going to vest its argument of oppression and discrimination by a WASP maojirty on the comments of a fool, then ,in my o...
