Of course to travel to another country there are certain requirements that must be met: the traveler usually must have a valid passport and visa.....
1 Comment Out of the Depths (De Profundis) 10/15/2010
 Out of the Depths I've been following the saga of these Chilean miners since the discovery that they were still alive 17 days after the collapse of the mine. When the reports came that they may not be able to be rescued until December I kind of felt that I was suffocating with the idea of being trapped underground for so long....
 What if you threw a party and only one person came? What if only one friend attended your big stage or movie premiere or you waited hours before your debut CD sold a single copy? How would you feel? ...
The Real World Cup 06/29/2010
 The Real World Cup I am but one of billions that have been tranfixed by this event that occurs every four years: namely the FIFA World Cup. I have intensely followed teams through qualifying rounds, seen my hopes rise and crash with the success and failures of my favorite team. I have followed the team through the opening rounds and the elimination rounds, suffering no small amount of anxiety during this period of 30 days; one glorious month every four years. Like I said I am but one of billions...
Love that lacks a 'why' 06/11/2010
 "Do you love me is usually the first question followed by the more difficult to answer "why?" I've done it and I'm sure you've done it too...
Dark Spills: On the seas and in our souls 06/04/2010
 Gulf Oil Rig Fire The Gulf Oil Spill has been an unfolding drama since April 20th. First there is the tragic loss of human life and then of course is the domino effect of the envronmental damage which endangers fish, fowl & flora and pollutes pristine beaches, which keeps tourists away, which has a negative impact on economies already ravaged by the worst economic downturn since the Great Depressionof the 1930s, which means trouble for you, me and this chunk of our tiny planet.

Seated in Eternity: Smoking or non-smoking? 03/06/2010
 Smoking or Non-Smoking? "Where do you want to sit in Eternity: Smoking or Non-Smoking?" the sign outside the church asked. Cute, no, a very clever slogan actually. It made me smile but more importantly it made me think: smoking or non smoking...
Haiti: The cry of a hurting humanity 02/22/2010
 In 1988, calypsonian David Rudder of Trinidad & Tobago wrote a song called 'Haiti I'm Sorry'. A strange topic for that time since Haiti did not become a full member of CARICOM until 1999, and final accession was only ratified by the Haitian Parliament on 13 May 2002. Then - President Aristide signed the revised Chaguaramas Treaty on 4 July 2003, and trade between Haiti and the other countries of the region officially began on 1 January 2004, only to be suspended that year and reinstated in 2006.

Feel free to leave a comment and share your thoughts with me.
