Tuesday morning coming down...
So First of all, I know you are all wondering, yes the Equality Ball was Fabulous!!! I had a great time, taking my ex as my date wasn't a Horrible idea, and the event was successful in the money arena for a first time. People were hot, sexy, cute, glamorous, and gorgeous. I think I even pulled off my goal, everyone saw my outfit, and I looked pretty good!
Brenda, an old friend from high school came up to attend the event with me, and to spend a few days. It was a great time, I miss her already and she probably isn't even at the Socorro mark on the Freeway yet. Brenda was a Republican mostly when we were in high school, and most of the time we've chatted since then we've skirted an issue here and there, but I could never really tell if she was being nice or really became a liberal. She really became a liberal. Thank Goddess!
She is amazing, and we had a great time talking and drinking until 2 or 3 every morning about politics, philosophy, and men. They can all make one's life better or worse, we're at a toss up over which have been doing what for us lately.
Thanks Brenda for a great time!
In other news, I'm mostly getting back to the good work of the LCV. I took some mental vacations, even though my body was in the office, to help set up for the big event. That was only possible thanks to my great friend and boss Maggie.
Also thanks to Maggie and her fabulous blog, I was linked to another blog that I'm now addicted to completely! Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez a local Author and rockstar activist has been taking on the immigration issue head on in the press lately. Maggie first linked this blog but I had to do it also for you all to read, because the facts and statistics are AMAZING!
Maggie called it Ode to Stupid Guy, I think I'll add a little flavor to the mix:
Alisa's post MMMM HMMMM *SNAP* (my own gay infused title) is amazing at laying out the Right wing ignorant arguments about immigration and the facts that prove it wrong.
Yesterday was a great day for the Immigration Community and the Latino Community because I haven't seen Latino people organize and mobilize like this since I can remember...
Immigration rally at Capital High School turns raucous
I can't find the news reports on what happened in Albuquerque, but there were thousands of marchers and ralliers at Civic Plaza yesterday, as well as hundreds of cars and walking people blocking traffic, honking horns, and chanting with their Latin American Flags, all afternoon. I thoroughly enjoyed the day at work, though my friends in their important business offices were upset because the immigration issue was stopping them form accomplishing their work.
*sigh*
we can't win them all.
I'm not sure this particular post was of any real substance except to say what's going on in my life right now. I think however, I'm going to do some real writing tonight. Maybe even recount some of the discussion I had with Brenda, or delve into my own political-emotional resevoir on the Immigration issue. Maybe just maybe, I won't post tomorrow, because this guy I like will ask me to dinner tonight. But that's a hope that I won't hold on to too much.
