Dearest Dad

As I’ve been living at home I’ve come to realize how ridiculous it is to have freedom during college and come back to being under parental rule once again. Of course you can still demean your younger sister, but has certainly lost its luster.. The real topic here is the dad. Over the course of the Summer and there have been a few random incidents that were awkward and also hilarious w/my father.

My dad knows that I am into Japanese everything so he asked one of his co workers if he could borrow this cult classic japanese film, Called Tetsuo the Iron Man. This film is ridiculous, we deffinetly did not finish it. At one moment you see some crazy guy in a metal cage the next he’s shoving iron into his legs blood everywhere. There is no story line minus that there is a guy and a girl and the previous crazy guy in a metal cage who doens’t make sense. The more awkward moments w/my dad came when the woman came in to play. In black and White she basically wields a gigantic metal parts assorted penis and slams about 4 feet into this guys butt… ya this is much worse than watching the latest kotex period commercial w/ur parentals.. o it gets better though. Then that turned out to be a dream only to be the preview to my next nightmare of awkwardness w/my father.. Let me just say I don’t get weirded out to easy but this was ridiculous.. The next part is basically Tetsuo and her having sex all hot and black and white steamy like… then his face breaks out w/metal pieces and assorted metal products keep adhering to his body…This is the kicker though, finally about a 2 foot long foot wide penis pops out of his pants and starts spinning like a top, he tries to pursue his once horny lover while she fights his drill like dick off w/a frying pan. Luckily around this time my mom and sister walked and I said welp I’m goign to my room now dad.

Recently actually just a minute ago my dad started yelling at me asking if i used the toilet I yelled back no, then my mom said she did, then he replied well i flushed it and all the stuff flowed over onto me.. Then I see him half naked peering from the door yellling at my mom “plunger this… plunger that put a sign on it ….ridiculous!”…. the shower starts….haha home life is ridiculous.

Do you have time on November 30th?

The
United Nations Association of the National Capital Area (UNA-NCA)

Young Professionals for International Cooperation (YPIC)

would
like to invite you to our upcoming event entitled,

Income
Inequality and Democracy in Latin America

November 30, 2005

Latin America and the Caribbean is one of the regions in the world with extensive inequalities. According to studies by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), poverty affects 222 million people, of which 96 million are indigents, and there are serious problems with employment and the distribution of wealth. Nonetheless, this region is expected to complete three straight years of economic growth in 2005, which could open up new opportunities or further widen the income disparity gap. There are severe ethnic tensions in many of these countries such as in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Venezuela, due to the marginalization of the indigenous populations for hundreds of years. From the recent widespread protests in these countries, it is evident that we are witnessing a unique evolution of democracy in the Americas.

Panelists will address the various social, historical, and economic implications derived from inequalities and how these affect democracies throughout the region. Panelists include: Wanda Engel, Inter-American Development Bank; Doug Hellinger, The Development GAP; and Margaret Sarles, USAID.

The program will take place on November 30, 2005 from
6:30-8:30 pm at the National Council of La Raza (1126 16th St. NW, Washington DC). The closest metros are Farragut North and Farragut West. The panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A session. Following the event, there will be light refreshments, which will provide an opportunity for guests to interact informally with speakers and network among themselves.

Space is limited so please RSVP to [email protected] with "Income Equality and Democracy in Latin America" in the Subject line. For more information please call the UNA office at 202-518-0471.
