On tv....

In the old times the fastest means of communication has been the radio. Where you got the latest news.And I've noticed for years that we have seen the world through the tv.I've seen Lady Diana 's death first hand on tv late at night on that Saturday;I've also seen Airton Senna on that horrible Sunday die and it was like some relative of mine,even black I wore the next day,everyone at work could not concentrate.I've seen the World Trade Center towers collapse and I've gotten worried at a couple of friends who lived in New York.But my May first here is totally different ...What we have seen here is all about immigrants,a day without a latino and my husband's birthday,49 years old..
and yesterday on the beach,what I have seen from those latinos,celebrating Labor Day as Brazilians also do in Brazil.Everyone pleased at their chats about politics,politicians and soccer.
And on tv you cry,laugh,get pissed off and even get out of reality.
And on tv I see my own country on its 15 seconds of fame...
I miss my country.
On the other hand,America is my country too.
Weird,huh?
I think so too.
