It wasn't until I was older that all the answers became questions

It's another Monday. and yes it feels like one. For those of you who have seen Office Space, I have a severe case of the Monday's. I am exhausted from work and it's only 1:25. On the same accord, I can't believe it's already 1:25!

I wrote this blog for two reasons. The first is merely due to the realization that there are some things I will never understand until it happens to me. For example, shoes on the freeway. How does that even happen? Also, whose responsibility is it to clean roadkill of an interstate like the 5? Does anybody have the answers or experiences that can make these natural wonders a little bit more clear?

In other news, I am still bread, sugar, beer, and cheese-free.

The second reason for writing this is of more importance, today is National Latino AIDS Awareness Day. A couple facts:

  • In 2005, Latinos made up 18% of the estimated 1 million AIDS cases diagnosed since HIV started in the U.S. over 25 years ago, despite making up only 14% of the U.S. population

  • HIV/AIDS became the fourth leading cause of death among Latino men and women between 35 to 44 years old in 2004

Did you know that you are more likely to lose your shoes on the freeway than contract HIV?
