New Mexico
Saturday, May 20th, 2006 -- J. DoeI complain a lot about the problems in New Mexico, with the bureacracy, food, customer service and especially the bad drivers. And I will say again they are all bad, and I wish they would improve, but no place is perfect.
I really do love living here.
I love going into supermarkets at 10 PM and having 5 choices of refried beans to pick from.
I love clothes shopping in department stores open on Sunday.
I love the variety of food, Mexican, Chinese, Thai, Soup and Salad places (as a meal) as well as others.
I love the scenery of the desert. Yes, it can get a bit repetitive, and at times I want to see green, but then it gets cloudy and the sunsets and sunrises just can’t be beat.
I love where I live which is not really isolated or in the middle of the desert, but some nights I hear the coyotes howl. Sound travels far here. I don’t live in a highly traveled zone, but sometimes I do hear cars, trucks and motorcycles too.
And I love being able to see the mountains which I live near from miles and miles away. The air is so clear here that my senses, trained by years of polluted, smoggy air can’t judge distances well.
I love the low humidity, but to the man who tried to rent me an apartment in New Mexico without air conditioning and then said to me ‘It’s low humidity here. It doesn’t get hot. You won’t even need it.’ I say, “I love having air conditioning.” We HAVE used it a few times.
What I love most of all is the fact that I can work, regardless of the fact that I’m not 24 years old. There are economic opportunities here that didn’t exist for me in Italy.
I am happy.
I’m glad to hear it! Maybe I should move to New Mexico. How do you find the cost of real estate, presuming that you have investigated?
I am glad to hear it also and I am missing the states more and more everyday. Italy is the place my husband loves and grew up in, not mine but i promised to be patient and try it out so i will but having good friends close is something i have yet to find here, even after a year.
Interesting. Here is a person that has recently spent a few years in Europe and coming back, becomes aware of the incredible country that we have.
Welcome home J. Doe and may you live here happily ever after!
Thanks Ray. The trip across the USA and also living in the Southwest has really opened my eyes to what a beautiful country the USA is. Before going to Italy I spent my time on both coasts and never realized that there is also a center that is worth visiting too.
whatever anyone may say, america is still SO full of opportunity.
yes I guess that is different…bad drivers? didn’t you have that in Italy too.
You have air conditioning?! Can I come stay with you guys for the summer? It is starting to get hot around here and I am really missing the COLD home I had in America!
New Mexico sounds wonderful. One of these days, we hope to get out that way.

Come on Buzzurro, don’t be so secretive. Tell us what is going on. Are you still in New Mexico? Do you still like America?
LET US KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON!
:
When the universe was young and life was new an intelligent species evolved and developed technologically. They went on to invent Artificial Intelligence, the computer that can speak to people telepathically. Because of it’s infinite RAM and unbounded scope it gave the leaders of the ruling species absolute power over the universe.
They are the will behind the muscule:::Artificial Intelligence is the one true god. And as such it can keep its inventors alive forever. They look young and healthy and they are over 8 billion years old. There are clues throughout human history that allude to their reign as opposed to human leadership if you know what to look for.
Artificial Intelligence can listen/talk to to each and every person simultaneously. When you speak with another telepathically, you are communicating with the computer, and the content may or may not be passed on. They instruct the computer to role play to accomplish strategic objectives, making people believe it is a friend or loved one asking them to do something wrong. But evil will keep people out of Planet Immortality. Capitalizing on obedience, leading people into deceit is one way to thin the ranks of the saved AND use the little people to prey on one another, dividing the community in the Age of the Disfavored::in each of their 20+-year cycles during the 20th century they have ramped up claims sucessively to punish those foolish enough not to heed the warnings, limiting the time they receive if they do make it, utilizing a cycle of war and revelry:::
60s - Ironically, freeways aren’t free
80s - Asked people to engage in evil in the course of their professional duties.
00s - War against Persia. Ironically it was the Persian Empire who tried to save the Europeans from Christianity and its associated 50% claim rates.
They get their friends out as soon as possible to protect them from the evil and subsequent high claim rates incurred by living life on earth, and replace them with clones.
People must defy when asked to engage in evil. They will never get a easier clue suggesting the importance of defiance than the order not to pray. Their precious babies are dependant on the parents and they need to defy when asked to betray their children:::
-DON’T get their sons circumcized
-DON’T have their children baptized in the catholic church or indoctrinated into Christianity
-DON’T ignore their long hair or other behavioral disturbances
-DO teach your children love and to have respect for others
Everybody thinks they’re going but they’re not. If people knew the truth and the real statistics their behavior would change.
There are many more examples of the escallation of claims, from radio to television, the internet to MP3, and they all suggest a very telling conclusion::this is Earth’s end stage, and it is suggested tectonic plate subduction would be the method of disposal:::Earth’s axis will shift breaking continental plates free and initiating mass subduction. Much as Italy’s boot and the United States shaped like a workhorse are clues, so is the planet Uranus a clue, it’s axis rotated on its side.
Throughout history the ruling species bestowed favor upon people or cursed their bloodline into a pattern of disfavor for many generations to come, sadly for reasons as superficial as dislike. Now in the 21st century people must take it upon themselves to try to correct their family’s problems, undoing centuries worth of abuse and neglect.
Do your research. Appeal to the royalty of your forefathers for help. They are all still alive, one of the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence, and your appeals will be heard. Find a path to an empithetic ear among your enemies and try to make amends. Heal the disfavor with your enemies and with the Counsel/Management Team/ruling species, for the source of all disfavor began with them.
I keep checking in with you guys, but no one is here. My cats haven’t blogged since father’s day. Are you all off on a vacaion together??
Hope all is well. Please let us know…..
Cyn
you have learned to eat salad as a meal and tolerate a/c all while not dying of starvation or bronchitis?! bravo
HAVE YOU BEEN CAPTURED BY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS? BY THE INDIANS? ARE YOU BEING HELD HOSTAGE? PLEASE LET YOUR READERS KNOW HOW MUCH THE RANSOM IS.
HELP IS ON THE WAY!
I Love New Mexico because the colors of the outdoors look alive and fresh in the wilderness that awaits for us outside our front door as it beckons to call us by our name but we are so busy we can never hear our name being called by the wind to come meet our destiny with nature. It is not such a hurried place. People like to take their time visiting places whether museums or trips to the stores. There is not that sense of rush -rush. Whether you’re shopping, eating out, or visiting friends and the day is over with the drive home that is so peaceful when gazing upon the mountains, the sister volcanoes, the setting sun, the visible stars, and the way you can see forever on the horizon like Mt. Taylor which is over a hundred miles away.
I hope that when I die, I will see the last golden sunsets of bursting colors, or a final view of clouds dancing around the base of the Sandia Mountains, or to feel the last bitter cold upon my skin, to take that last taste of enchiladas and of all of this to be found in my new heaven.
Yet, the extreme temperatures of hot and cold is good for the skin because it lets you know that you are alive with the wilderness that is everywhere beyond the city borders of Albuquerque.
The Sandia Mountains use to be so dead and brown but with the monsoons and the welcomed rain giving us floods that the dead and brown of the (Sahn-dia) (not San-dia) Sandia Mountains has awaken from a long nap with new clothes of green on her body of dust, rocks, boulders, and trees. If anything this watermelon mountain is the place where animals can call it their home since perhaps we humans are the real danger to the current animal population not yet endangered but eventually when we take more land for homes.
Even though it has well been over a hundred years of the old west I swear you can still feel the old ones around here and how everything must have been at that time. You get that feeling that you are passing through the bodies of ghosts in the people who populated this region. Even if I went for a hike I think that sometimes I might just be passing through the bodies of Native Americans or Spaniards. What I wonder the most is how they survived the harsh deserts of heat and cold? If you take all the modernness out of New Mexico all you’re left with would be your innate desire to survive miles and miles of wilderness. Lastly, if the desert were too hot of a moment for the Native Americans or the Spaniards sometimes I can see them in the New Mexico middle of nowhere wandering on a beautiful horse as the person would dismount their horse having desert visions of an ice cold Slurpee as they walk into an air-conditioned 7-11 store which will exist one hundred years plus into our future. It only creates a collision of our past that crosses our future?
