Elections July 5th! Honduras

¡The elections are over!

And I can deny I witness with glee that the PRD got stomped everywhere they were contending for governors.

See, I'd love to have a party to vote that appeased my liberal heart, but that's not the case in México. There are supposed left-wing parties, but all of them are just the same conservative stuff coated with a lot of whining and arguing. Not my cup of tea.

Furthermore, my state is a horrible state due to drug trafficking. That soared in the time the previous governor was in charge. A Governor coming from the PRD. I rather not vote for people affiliated with him and his party.

Plus, a lot of people nullified their vote intentionally. The total of nullified voted was greater than those earned by smaller parties, and in some places, even grater than the total of votes earned by big parties. There's a lot of people that don't like any of the options they have to vote for.

All in all, I liked this elections. Not because of the parties and candidates, but because of the voters. They showed a lot of interest and commitment, that's a good sign and I hope to see more of that in the future.

So there's this thing in Honduras that will, most likely, end in an ugly way.

Micheletti, leader of the coup, has said that nobody will make him change his mind. He's the president, what was done was the right thing and whoever dares use the force against his rule will know his wrath. I'm not sure how much punch packs the army of one of the poorest countries in America, but that has been said.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world says that Micheletti is not the president of Honduras. Zelaya is the only president of that country, everyone has said so. Even both Chavez and Obama.

Now, this is interesting since Chavez is utterly convinced that the US is directly responsible of the coup in Honduras, while Obama and his administration have said that they ara against the coup and only recognize Zelaya as president.

There are two likely options.
a) The US is involved in an ultra secret conspiracy to take control of Honduras and whatever they say to the press are lies.
b) Chavez is batshit crazy and see every problem in America as the direct product of the US meddling.

Of course, it's very likely that Chavez is just being his batshit himself. Did I mention that Honduras is poor? Like, in extreme poor?

Something else of interest is this. For what it's seen on Twitter (yay, reliable source!), The people from Honduras is divided in the issue. Some want Zelaya back and some are happy he's gone.

As I said, this can only end in an ugly way.

I always wonder how does my accent sound.

Not my accent in english. I'm well aware I sound stilted and with the some of the usual affectations of a spanish speaker talking in english.

I wonder how I sound to other spanish speaking people, from places different to my own.

What I've heard is that Mexicans have a "singing" accent, whatever that means. I guess it refers to the pacing of our word. Probably with a marked cadence.

Something I'm quite sure is that Mexicans enunciate equally all letters in a word. Every single of them. That would contribute to the "singing" quality? I don't know.

It's mystery for the time being.

Oh my, I haven't used this in a long, long time and I feel like I need to do something about it. Just because.

Alright, so I just bought a toy. A Centinel with Cyclops action figure. It says it's for small kids, but, eh. The Centinel is bulky, shinny and it's smiling; you can't top a smiling killing machine so easily.

I thought about buying the Fing Fang Foom with Iron Man toy but I really don't care too much about a huge magical (I think) dragon. The only thing I really wanted Was the tiny Iron Man toy. I mean, my Centinel looks nice on my desktop, all ready to blast your face off while smiling. I do not think a dragon Would Be Much Better Than That.

Oh yeah. Were These tightly packed toys. I Had to go past Through Three Different layers of duct tape and plastic wire Some Before Being Able to unleash the joy That is playing with toy while being to grown up dude.
