"Tiempo para un viaje por carretera" - call for change

Its been over a month since i got back to Texas and all i have done in this period is write...write...research...write...and more research. And barring the trip to California early this year, I really havnt seen much of US barring the airports and aerial views from the air plane! My conscience for sure is screaming out loud that i havn't used my time rationally. But i do give my share of priority time and due importance to Google and Yahoo (mail/chat). I must say that new themes on Gmail are inspirational and i dont even feel like signing out!!

In any case at the end of two years.....what do i get?
- No job for one because the economy has gone downhill ! In fact its rolling down!
- A master's degree and a speech from the outgoing president of this country... Now, although some would consider themselves previleged, being a rare ocassion for a graduation ceremony, i am at this time neither happy nor sad....the all important factor being i am not gonna be able to spend much time in the US... - and that is 'the inconvenient truth', whether Al Gore accepts it or not!

Hence my focus is on the immediate future ;) I am really looking forward to the next two weeks.....to visit Hollywood!!, Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam....a fun road trip.
And it all starts within 12 hours from now!

Some would probably ask, if it really makes sense to go for a trip when the economy is in a pulp, jobs are at stake; and i would say if ya'll have jobs keep em' and be worried about it. I don't, and neither is anyone interested in hiring at the moment. Might as well make my time 'useful' instead of wasting on sending applications to positions that dont exist, and when HR's are so keen to send rejection letters.
But there is still another reason for the timing being appropriate for a road trip. One look into the oil barrel prices says it all! Gas prices have not been any cheaper than 2.0 $ to a gallon over the past few years, and now its 1.7 $. Its unbelievable that oil barrel prices actually dropped from 140 to 40.

Talk of 'freakonomics' heh....!! So ya'll professionals can take your time and figure out what to do, while i am gonna have some fun, and i want to see some decisions made when i return!!

¿Entiendes?
