Well, this is it, today I meet my friends from the Basque Diaspora group, it is quite a rush.
We have been working so hard to look for ways to improve the image of the Basques around the world in order to gain some support towards the peace process and self determination of the oldest ethnic group in Europe.
And we are going to seat and speak about peace when the world is on the brink of war, when military actions are discussed in front of a blue curtain that conceals the "Guernica" at the UN, what an irony. But the world will keep going no matter what, and injustice will continue as long as people remain comfortably numb, watching their dumb TV shows and wasting time hating J Lo instead of questioning the murderous acts of people like Slobodan Milosevic and Ariel Sharon.
But we are not one dimentional people, oh no, we are going to discuss important matters but we are also going to have fun, enjoy our time with our friends, enjoy our vibrant culture that reflects itself on delicious cuisine, breathtaking sports and beautiful music, and we are going to celebrate family values. Because people with fire burning within has a passion for everything and lives each day to the max cuz tomorrow may never come.
Don't take anything for granted, it may not be there for you when you need it.
And if possible, if time allows it, expect a blog post from San Francisco (damn, I wonder why they chose such a difficult name, are they trying to honor wetbacks or what?).
