Overcommitted and Overwhelmed

I know I’m getting terrible at updating this. I need to give a Spain recap still. I have a lot of my plate and it’s my fault. I wanted to get involve in all these sports teams and it’s too much. Not only do I work full time, I go to school on Monday and Tuesday nights. I have soccer on Saturdays and bowling and kickball on Sundays. Not to mention, I just took up kickboxing tonight, which will occupy my Wed/Fri nights and possibly Sunday afternoon before kickball once bowling ends. I need to start focusing on my thesis for school. If I didn’t work full time, all this would be quite manageable.

Oh and did I mention I’m going to Israel in late May/early June for 10 days and possibly Belgium in July for 7? Life would be so much easier if it was controlled by a DVR.


Spain on Thursday

I leave for Spain on Thursday for 10 days. Send me a text or facebook message with your address and I will try to get a postcard to you.


Why Would Anyone Do This?

Of course he was fron Vietnam:

Man Faces 20-Year Sentence for Smuggling Songbirds Under Pants

LOS ANGELES —  A man who smuggled songbirds into Los Angeles from Vietnam by hiding them under his pants is facing up to 20 years in federal prison.

Forty-six-year-old Sony Dong of Garden Grove is scheduled to be sentenced Monday in Los Angeles.

Dong was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport last March after arriving on a flight from Vietnam. Authorities found 14 birds he had wrapped in cloth and strapped to his legs and ankles.

Authorities say they could have sold for up to $400 each.

Dong pleaded guilty to illegally importing wildlife.

Authorities say another 51 birds were found at the Garden Grove home of co-defendant Duc Le. The 34-year-old Le has pleaded not guilty to smuggling charges and is scheduled for trial in May.
