May-haps if guided by the lights of Alien aircraft en route to Roswell, teamed with visuals of the Q we now know Demi has mind-banked (thanks to the confirmation that she watches the Emmy winning NM Production Breaking Bad)…we have a chance of NM’s Own Demi Gene Guynes finding her way back to her home state in support of the local film industry.
Whatever your label, don’t scream “No big Government” with one face and force your religion, orientation and hypocrisies on my body, heart and soul out the other!
If the money you’re incensed over is stamped “in MY God only we trust”, you don’t agree that we’re free to love he or she, and you want to regulate the very body that is me, then I cannot drink your tea, join your GOP or ignore your OPP.
UPDATE: Eldorado High School wins their homecoming game 29 to 21
We would all be remiss to allow an event demonstrating such respect and equality, rarer than should be, simply pass us by:
Albuquerque, New Mexico – Eldorado High School Crowns Young Man with Down Syndrome Homecoming King
“Abe Assaad was crowned Homecoming King in a coronation ceremony held in Eldorado High School’s gym today. Assaad, who has Down syndrome, was happy just to be named to the Homecoming Court. To be crowned king was more than he ever imagined.
As the announcement of King was made, Assaad immediately jumped up and yelled, “That’s me!’ Then, as he made his way to the front of the stage, his knees buckled and he collapsed face down on the floor. Looks of concern soon evaporated from on-lookers faces as Assaad could be heard saying, “I did it! I’m King!” After a moment, he regained his feet and, with a million-watt smile, claimed his robe, crown and scepter to a standing ovation by the student body.
Assaad, who is active in Special Olympics, Best Buddies, DECA, and drama, finds the experience inspiring. “Being King at Eldorado is awesome! I get to wear a crown, and a cape and I get to stand in pictures with a lot of hot babes. At Eldorado, it’s cool. It doesn’t matter who you are if you just do your best and try hard, people respect you,” said Assaad.
Assaad’s senior escort was Ms. Alex Griffith. Assaad’s parents credit her for much of the success their son has achieved over the years. “Alex has been a good, loyal friend and sort of head cheerleader for Abe since middle school,” said Vicki Assaad, Abe’s mother. “She’s been there for the most important moments of his life. She has always seen Abe as a worthwhile person. Her gift is that she’s able to see beyond his disability to the person underneath. She has been instrumental in the acceptance of Abe by others, both at school and beyond.”
Assaad and the other members of the Eldorado Homecoming Court will be introduced during half-time at tonight’s Eldorado versus Cibola High School at Wilson Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 7:00pm.”

Memmer that SATCepisode where Carrie taught that ill advised class on ‘dating’ at the NYC learning annex, you memmer…Well this is like that, but better.
Local news, and the social net are all abuzz with both outrage and outcries from the Albuquerque community, who seem ready to hang middle school teacher Kathi Hunter for her hefty crop of “medicinal” greens.
In the very same broadcast after the breaking news of Hunter’s arrest, condemnation, banishment, etc., etc., one of the next stories straight off the teleprompter was some fluff liner about the (and I quote), “antics” of “actress” Lindsay Lohan (tra, la, la, la, la, ha, ha antics, tee, hee, hee).
So kiddies, feel free to watch mediawhores at their finest like Parasite Hilton (allegedly) smuggle coca in her cocha across international borders; Coca Lohan drive drunk, fail court ordered drug treatment/testing, etc., etc., and Kardashian Family post porn gazillion dollar payoffs.
“And also too” – Sheri Shepard
We have violent crime parolees, double digit DWI offenders, child molesters, hard core narcotics dealers, corrupt public officials and cracked out chitlins addicted to the surplus of your Nana’s Rx cabinet walking our streets but throw away the key on this memaw looking pot head.

“TWO Chipotle Mexican Grill locations are opening this Fall in Albuquerque!!! Paseo del Norte/San Pedro (Near 5 Guys) and Menaul/Lousiana (Uptown)!!!” – Erin, Beautiful Facebooker & Local Chipotle Enthusiast
“Yep, first one should open around the end of October, if all goes well.” – Joe, Chipotle Guy via Facebook
American ingenuity at its finest – in a series of (bring-on-the-yawns) segments GMA gives us a behind the scenes look at the geniuses behind some successful U.S. businesses. Above, Bianna Golodryga takes a look in my grandma’s pantry, I mean at the astoundingly simple success of Chipotle Mexican Grill (heave).
Bianna needs to eat more and be mystified less, girl used to be so purdy now she’s looking like a flea market, parts bin, Brats doll knockoff, with her giant head and spaghetti stick limbs.
P.S. that’s called a WIC approved list of food items; block cheese, onions, beans, rice, tortillas – HELLO! Damn I hate when gringos steal from Mexicans and make bank on it.
This high-lariously gross crap that’s in your makeup story was much more entertaining! How can you not smile at dried whale vomit?
and p.p.s. I guess I can’t complain about the gringos too much. They take their own white-trash stuff and call it Messican too!
!hola! – cheese whiz, potted meat, canned bean dip, cheetos with cinnamon instead of cheese dust for dessert and gallons of Mountain Dew – !Horale run for the hills border (press play on the Deliverance theme song in your head in 3-2-1)!
The show benefits S.A.F.E. HOUSE New Mexico Where they shelter and empower survivors of domestic violence, intimate partner abuse & work to improve NM’s response to this violence.
These hot ladies put on incredible events always benefiting the community much more info on them coming soon…

Barden Schnee Casting is NOW taking electronic submissions for the following role:
[ WOLF / MARTIN ORTIZ ]
20 years old, Hispanic/Native American, handsome, well-built, smart who carries the weight of being the first in the family line to go to go college. And some college: he’s going on full scholarship to Cal Tech, studying to be a physicist. However, his father is coming to the end of his life and Wolf has come back to be with him. A private person, Wolf spends much time hiking in the canyons around Los Alamos. It is here he first meets Davey, whom he comes to know as Tiger. Their connection is immediate despite her prickly introduction. For the longest time he doesn’t understand that she is walking through the same grief he is. But once he learns of her loss he invites her to the Pueblo, to a Native American “Making of Relations Ceremony” that he is part of. It is a reminder for both of them that they are part of a larger whole; that life goes on and is not lived alone – LEAD
STORYLINE: After the senseless murder of her father, 16 year-old DAVEY WEXLER struggles to accept the loss. At the invitation of an aunt and uncle, she and her mother and little brother travel to New Mexico in hopes that a change of location will help. But for Davey, it’s only made things more confusing, leaving her feeling isolated.

“Becoming Eduardo was recently nominated for Best Feature Film at the prestigious Burbank International Film Festival. The Festival has a good reputation for serving as a platform for emerging and talented filmmakers such as Director, Rod McCall and Producer, Brad Littlefield.
Presented by Open Range Pictures, in association with The Creative Media Institute, Becoming Eduardo has already won numerous awards, most recently, the New Mexico Film Festival Award. The film has also picked other awards, including the Milagro Award at the Santa Fe Film Festival and went on to receive several others including, The Tamalewood Award for Best Latin Film; The Audience Choice Award and Best New Mexico Film award at the White Sands Film Festival. “I’ve always maintained that as long as this film touches another young life, and helps someone avoid experiencing pain or mistakes, the project was worthwhile” said Littlefield. He further commented, “I am so deeply honored that our film has gone on to receive the respect, admiration and recognition of the greater film community.”
Film industry veterans, Elizabeth Pena and A Martinez and Julian Alcaraz,(the Latino Marlon Brando) alongside Elizabeth Blanco and Mike Dunay were the combined elements for bringing this story to life as well as infusing their rich American/Hispanic heritage. » Read the full post
