well, we are supposed to be coming out of a recession right? but the government just approved 1.9 TRILLION in MORE DEBT.That means that every American man, woman and child will OWE $40,000 in Government debt!That kind of news worries a lot of people.Not only that, but a bunch of countries like Spain, Greece and Portugal are on the verge of defaulting on all of their debt... kinda like Iceland

I am very frustrated right now. I'm somewhat mad at myself but very upset with Capital One.A little background:Over the years, I have acquired some debt. Now, I am trying to pay it off. So, I looked at my various cards and started paying off the ones with the highest interest rates.The Capital One card was at 9.9% "Fixed" APR.Some of my other cards were at 19.99% and 24.99% variable APR, so I

I just read an email from an old friend from high-school. She used to call me "chair-man".I remember it now. I went to Independence High School. At the time, there were about 3,800 (probably more like 3,400 with all the dropouts) but you get the picture. It was big!Surprisingly, this large campus (click here to see a satellite photo), did not have any picnic benches for the students to sit on

Some sad news to report, my mother's father, Antonio Rodriguez Zamora, passed away last week in Oakland. He had been sick for quite some time so I am glad that he is not suffering any longer. May he rest in peace.Mom is currently in Mexico where they will be burying him. Hopefully, she has a safe trip back to Morocco.

Well, Rita came and went. I guess it didn't hit as hard as Katrina did which is good. Now, I am have been far from Louisiana for more than a week. It definitely was an amazing experience. The following are some of my most vivid memories...The Arrival24 CityTeam volunteers and myself arrived at Bethany just past midnight on September 17th (Friday Night-Saturday Morning).

I've been here in Baker Louisiana eight days now. This experience has made me very aware of what happened in New Orleans and the surrounding area. It is so different being here than being in California!The two shelters I am working with are at a church called Bethany World Prayer Center. My job here has mainly been to help with the children's program. I help kids do homework, entertain them with

Well, I suppose things could change even now, but at this point, I have been told that I will be sent to Baton Rouge where I will help with the relief effort for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.I suppose it may be a while before I post on this blog again, but maybe when I get to Morocco, I'll have some time.Until then, keep praying for me and God Bless you!-Tony

Dear Friends and Family,It's been a very long time since I have written any sort of update but I feel that this is a perfect opportunity for me to do so. Why? Because I am in a period of transition and I have plenty of time. Soon, I will be very busy. In fact, this coming Friday, I am going to go to the Mississippi/Louisiana area to help with the relief effort and I need your prayers. When I come

My hair is out of control. I have wanted to grow it out for a while, like to my shoulders, but it looks like a bowl cut and that's not cool under any circumstance. So, I'm debating about going over to the 'stylist' and getting my hair chopped off. Actually, I think I already made up my mind, I just wish I didn't have to cut it.Now that camp is over, I have to figure out what I'm going to be doing

I'm at Camp MayMac. I have a very challenging job but you wouldn't guess that by looking at this picture.I added a few pics to my site of me destroying a sandcastle that I took like 3 hours to make.Anyway, I don't think I'll do many more updates until after I have finished the summer. Pray for me and the kids.

If I haven't mentioned it before, Camp MayMac is comin up quick! I will complete my commitment to Silver Shield Security on June 17th and begin work at camp on the 19th.Man, I still have my essays for college that I haven't finished! I am lagging so much. Well, I guess I better get off this blog and focus on more important things.

Maybe this is a pointless post, but life has been pretty busy for me lately. I'm trying to get my act together and get into the Art Center in Pasadena (I've been doing this for like 3 years!) Besides that, my mom's here visiting my Grandfather who is sick. It's nice to have her around.MayMac is also coming up and I've been busy procrastinating on that stuff too.Well, hopefully, soon I'll be albe

In Los Gatos, California, there is a cool park called Oak Meadow Park with a playground that used to have huge slides, swings, a big old spinner thing, a Red Fire Truck, a play train and even a cement-stuffed WWII fighter plane(I think it was from WWII). To top it off, whole playground was surrounded by sand.As a kid, this was one of my favorite places to go. Nowadays, most of the cool stuff is

Hopefully the people at Surf Speedy (the company providing my web-service) will fix things soon.Anyway, I think I should ask them to move my files to another server because this particular one has been giving me problems.Life continues to be busy.

I haven't posted in a while, mostly because I've been wracking my brains trying to write essays for getting into art school. I don't understand why, but I have always had a hard time writing essays for certain assignments.

I loved reading the Chronicles of Narnia as a kid. I still remember when my dad gave me the boxed set. Ever since I have had the utmost respect for C.S. Lewis. Recently, I started reading his Science Fiction Trilogy starring this guy named Ransom. The first book is called Out of the Silent Planet, the second Perelandra and the third is called That Hideous Strength. All three books are written

I haven't had a good taco in a long time -like maybe 3 weeks or even more. I guess I better get with the program and go to Mi Pueblo and buy me some good carne asada tacos this week. Anybody wanna go with me? I love making tacos (and I do make good ones) but there's always something different about the ones at Mi Pueblo. Maybe it's all the extra greese or something but they taste really good.

This weekend I went to YoungLife's WoodLeaf camp as a leader with Capernaum Ministries. Capernaum is a branch of YoungLife that works with handicapped kids and this was my first Camp experience with them. My friend Joanne recruited Giggles and myself, along with about 10 other leaders to go with her kids who live in the Walnut Creek area. The other guy leaders in my cabin were Chris, Ray, David,

After work today, I stopped by a skate shop called "The Station" and bought myself a new skateboard. I haven't skated in 6 years and the two skateboards I had during Highschool were given to me for free. Since then, I have wanted to get a skateboard but always held back because of the cost of a good quality board. Well, now I'm making a bit more money and I'm also getting fat! So I figured that

I was six years old, I think. I lived in Mexico at the time, in the village that my mom grew up in. Life was great, I had a lot of freedom and did some really funny things. One day, my cousin Chavo asked if I wanted to go swimming with him and my other cousin, Chaguin. I was thrilled at the idea and happily joined them on this little adventure which took us down the main village road towards

So life is happening to me and things look great. The only problem is, where will I be a few years from now? I was reminded by someone that if I don't set goals, I won't achieve them. So, I am in the process of putting together some goals for the near future and for the next couple of years. They include; Going to college and getting my Bachelors, Paying off my debts, losing lot's of pounds,

Two days ago, I had a chance to speak with my mother over the phone. She sounded very happy to be done with the surgery but also got a bit emotional as she was recounting the events leading up to the gall-stone operation and afterwards. I couldn't help but feel her frustrations and (ultimately) relief resulting from many visits to the doctors over the last year. For a long time, the doctors (

My mother is in the Hospital over there in Morocco and is supposed to get surgery for Gallstones. This comes as somewhat of a relief since the original diagnosis implied severe liver damage or even cancer. It's kinda weird, but this is the first time that something major like this has happened in my adult life. When I was younger, I remember my dad had a hernia. Also, my mother went through a

Yo, what's up. Making music is like diving off a cliff, over a waterfall, into cool in a tropical rainforest. At least that's the way I feel about the latest track I'm working on. I have a name for the song, but let's just say it's code-named 'Blue'. and yes, it is a techno song, (trance) Only one person ever reads this blog so, who cares right? (that one person tends to be me :) oh well,

I am working on a revision to the Chihuahua Song! It will be up soon, maybe by the time you read this. I am also officially renaming the title of the song to: Spike's Chihuahua Song. This because there is another song out there called 'The Chihuahua Song' and I don't want people to think they are the same. Mine is more of a funny song where the other is more like cheap techno, Macarena style.

Finally, I have recorded the Chihuahua Song! It's short, but I am somewhat pleased at the quality (considering that I made it at my house). This song started as a silly reaction to the Taco Bell commercials that showed a little dog saying, "Yo Quiero Taco Bell!" around 1998. I was working at a YMCA day camp and I loved to play random tunes with made-up lyrics. The kids seemed to really like

It seems rather obligatory that I write something in my blog. It's been a while I guess. If I could write an equation for yesterday it would be Thanksgiving Day = 1/2 Day^(extremely dull day at work) + 1/2 day^(extremely cool family gathering) + Food + 1/2 (White side of the Family) + Dad - (Mom + Jeremiah). Well, that seems stupid. Maybe If I had paid more attention in Calculus I could create

About two weeks ago I went to Sea Bright beach in Santa Cruz and did what I usually do at the beach -I built a sand castle. I enjoy when people come by and say things like, "wow!" and "cool!" or whatever. It's fun to see little kids who try to help me. Even cooler is when the kids start making their own castle cuz they saw mine. The worst part about this sand-castling sport (is it a sport?) is

Gear asked for a reccomendation of great drawing music. Giggles has also asked for a list, so I finally put one together. I exported a playlist of my top rated iTunes tracks and made a simple table of it. (I don't have a cd-burner Gear, sorry!) Well, specifically, I enjoy listening to Trance, not just any techno and not just any trance, but quality music, usually with a melody OR wicked cool

Tonight I came to the realization that along with my brother's CD player, my guitar was also stolen out of my car two nights ago. This guitar brought me great joy for the last 7 years. I bought it in Sahuayo Michoacan in July of 1997 (that's the last time I was in Mexico). At the time, I knew little about guitars. My father took me to a shop that sold various goods. The owner had 2 or 3 guitars

Humans never ceases to amaze me! Do you ever get that sick feeling in your stomach that makes you want to cry? No, not intestinal erruptions, I'm talking about when somebody steals stuff from your car because you left your door unlocked! Man! I couldn't believe it today. After coming back to my car at a parking lot, I couldn't find my brother's cd-walkman that I left on the passenger's seat.

I am having issues with my gallery and it is currently offline. I am frustrated but oh well. Nobody really ever reads this blog even less look at my gallery so I'm not too worried about it. Life goes on. I'll try to fix the site soon.

I want to go to my home town in Michoacan where I spent 6 years of my childhood. Something about that village fascinates me. Hopefully, I'll be going this summer, God willing.

One week ago today, the last of the staff at Camp MayMac went home. I can't believe that it was only a week ago! It seems like ages. Anyway, this was one of the best summers of my life, I got to see my family in Morocco for a few weeks and then I worked with some of the coolest people in the world! Currently, I'm working on my resume and trying to find a job. I'm also spending too much time on

Dang, after trying to figure out how to easily put pics on my website, I stumbled upon an application called coppermine! It works pretty cool. So, for the mean time, you can access my pics at this address. (click here). Well, I'm slowly learning how to do stuff on the web. It's way more complicated than I want it to be!

I have made the transition from Morocco to MayMac! My beautiful sister Omayra graduated from GWA on Saturday June 19th, the following day, there was a great banquet for the Seniors and on the 21st, I was on a plane headed back to the USA. I had a nice flight from Casa Blanca to New York. There were a few students from my dad's school. I sat with Saad Benkirane a young man who is my brother

George Washington Academy is now in finals. I just got a copy of the school year-book and plan to get kids signatures. I've had a great vacation so far. I went to the beach a second time (with the all 42 high schoolers). I played guitar at the school. I have gone several times to an area of town called Maarif to draw the people passing by. Unfortunately, my vacation is coming to an end!!! But

So, here I am, in the Library at George Washington Academy, typing away on a slow internet connection but enjoying my vacation none the less. Monday morning after a nasty stay in a New York Hotel, I took off to central park in Manhattan. This was a much nicer view of New York. I went around, toting my luggage and my guitar. Stopping to play here and there. I made ten dollars and change just by

On my way here to Morocco, I had a lay over in New York. I arrived at JFK airport on Sunday Night, May 30th 2004. My first flight had been canceled from San Jose, and I had to wait for a later plane. At least I got to sit next to a guy who liked to talk, obviously I like to talk so it went well. The plane arrived around 8:00 PM that night and I was experiencing New York for the very first time

My father was born 52 years ago on May 23rd. We just talked to him on the phone and we ended up waking him up. One of the coolest things I remember about my dad is how he used to listen to me practice my piano. He would sit on the green Lazy-Boy chair that he re-upholstered as I played my songs. Sometimes, he would read, other times, he would stare at some idea off in the distance -index finger

I will be in Casablanca, Morocco for almost 3 weeks then I come back to work at Camp MayMac ! At the same time, I am quitting my job at SpanishMasters where I have worked off and on since December of 2000. Wow, in 4 years, I have

I dreamt that Buttons was growing weak. He was very skinny and could not eat. I put a mouse in his vivarium and Buttons attacked but wasn't able to suffocate the mouse as he normally does. Then, Buttons became only head and tail, no body inbetween. He looked like a fat, fin-less fish. ..... In real life, Buttons is about 5 feet long and 2.5 inches thick (thicker when recently fed). He is a ball

I stood near a house on a street that was a mix between Lark and Bruce Ave. I heard screams and saw two Mexican young ladies who were running frantically. I intuitively knew that they were trying to escape a man who was bent on killing them. I told them to come with me and led them behind the house. By now the house was my Grandfather's old house on Bruce. The house was really only a

The quake occured at about 2:28 a.m. with a magnitude of 6.5. The people who died were peasants living mud huts in rural villages near the city of Al-Houceima. Life is strange. I wonder why I have

I just got home from work. I made a song on my computer with Reason 2.5 (the 20 minute Demo version). It's a musically limited song, just a cool and heavy house/break beat with a repetetive acidic bass line in C minor. I like it. It sounds tight. The 2 bar loop still plays in the background, and it will continue to play until I press the (Quit) button reminding me that I could only play for 20
