From my mind

To Ur mind: AP STOCKHOLM – Peruvian Mario Vargas Llosa won the 2010 Nobel Prize in literature on Thursday as the academy honored one of the Spanish-speaking world's best known authors.

The Swedish Academy said it honored him for mapping the "structures of power and (for) his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt and defeat." Its permanent secretary, Peter Englund, called him "a divinely gifted storyteller" whose writing touched the reader."(This award is)Peru's President said, an enormous act of justice that in truth we have been waiting for since our youth,"

The gd news? happened 2 me. I sub my poem, PORTRAIT OF A COUPLE, to Dc Ricci professor @ University Albany-SUNY & editr/publishr of http://MyStoryLives.blogspot.com/ & 2 days, later, sept 29, her e-m said: This is a poem you cannot miss....Sometimes a poem comes along and it just takes your breath away. "Portrait of a Couple" is one such poem. Don't miss the way California writer Camincha captures a couple's "dance"–– sept 30, Dc Ricci's e-m said: you hit one out of the park, as we say in baseball. Hi Camincha, your poem really is a winner! I have asked my 46 college freshmen at SUNY Albany to read it for Friday, along with poems By Sharon Olds and Charles Bukowski. Your work stands well among the Best, my friend.

PORTRAIT OF A COUPLE

I see them dancing. Where did they go wrong?

Was it because they turned too quickly?

Was it because they danced too fast?~

She learned though. And survived him by not dwelling on the past.

And when the memories kept intruding, the years of hunger,

recriminations, the hatred. Yes, the hatred. The hope. Yes, the hope.

The love. Yes, the love. She thought only of the dancing they did

in those years before he made his last journey. Before he went

into that last number. Before he took his last step.

She's sure he knew. She's sure he remembered too,

many times, years later, El Mambo Perez Prado Aaaaaaaaaccc.

The Cha Cha Cha Ay! que rico Cha Cha Cha.

They danced it in that Bar Lounge in San Francisco.

A Peruvian band was in San Francisco, friends called to tell them.

They got a baby sitter. Changed, The Little Black Dress.

for her with the white buttons. The opened shirt for him

with slacks and sport jacket. Put gas in the car. An extra dollar,

it went far then. And they were off. And danced. And he played the

maracas and the palitos He was good at it all.

And the women warming the plastic covers looked up begging him

with their eyes to dance with them. He obliged. Ever the dancer,

ever the charmer. And when he walked them back to their

plastic cover seats they were all aglow. Rouged cheeks all the

more prominent, and lips as moist as the behinds they sat on.

He was also a body builder when body building hadn't even been invented.

So good, at so many things. Why wasn't in him then, to be a husband,

a father? Was it because his own hunger knawing at him was more

powerful than his children's? And had to be fed, every moment of every day.

So he couldn't feed anyone else morally, emotionally, physically?

There is no going back now. I see you as you were then.

The young, much too young, good looking couple full of promises.

I see them dancing. Where did they go wrong?

Was it because they turned too quickly?

Was it because they danced too fast?

From my mind:

To Ur mind: In THE VIEW @9:20 this morng Justin Timberlake of THE SOCIAL NETWORK, had this excellent advice, he said "my advice to everyone is, don't drop your panties."

WRITER tries to ANSWER MOST ASKED.... The New Yorker on Mark Zuckerberg. NEXT

WRITER tries to ANSWER MOST ¿¿¿???s

Q5)I hv a new idea, U say? A) Expert says: There r no new ideas. Only individual expressions of old ideas. Share it w/Us.

HEALTH TIPS THAT WORK 4 ME: Sharing what I jst read: THE FACE OF FACEBOOK, and I find that I like his face, Mark Zuckerberg's. In its article THE NEW YORKER says: In Facebook he is friends with his parents & 3 sisters. He admits to being awkward. Him and his girlfriend eat at places like La Bamba in Mountain View. He attends retreats like Allen & Company with moguls, Wall Street tycoons and tech titans. He doesn't own a TV. He says, "I am trying to make the world a more open place. " And the world is responding. In October's Vanity Fair Zuckerberg is No. 1 in their power ranking of the New Establishment, ahead of Steve Jobs and Rupert Murdoch and yet remains a very private person. He doesn't plan on seeing The Social Network which opens the New York Film Festival. Facebook is full of choices, but Zuckerberg in the movie doesn't have that luxury, in the movie he faces exposure to details he didn't choose. What's more the movie writer, Aaron Sorkin, who is forty-nine has never met him, knows very little about social networking and professes extreme dislike of the blogosphere and social media. Refering to Facebook creators Sorkin said, "It's a group of, in one way or another, socially dysfunctional people who created the world's great networking site." Sorkin insisted that "the movie is not meant as an attack." He added "I don't want to be unfair to this young man whom I don't know.........

Well, do you believe him? Do you believe he doesn't want to hurt him? Read the article, is long & juicy. See the movie. I'm going to. I want to see just how............ Regardless, I believe Zuckerberg will continue revolutionizing the world and we will respond. & I wish him the very bst.

To share what aches me, ANCHOR CHILDREN cont: "........Detained immigrants have very limited access to telephones to communicate with their families, and many are moved to remote detention facilities out of the states in which they were arrested. Some single parents and other primary caregivers were released late on the same day as the raids, but others were held overnight or for several days. Many of the arrested parents were afraid to divulge that they had children because they believed that I.C.E. would take their children into custody as well. In some cases I.C.E. did take custody of their children separating them from their parents. Remember they are only “ANCHOR CHILDREN” is I.C.E. justification........" cont. Pls consider donating 2 org of Ur choice that help these childrn.
