Terri Schiavo has died.

Be it our laziness, lack of initiative, or purely the fact that I at least have extremely conflicting feelings on this issue, we have been pretty silent here at TvRWC.

Regardless of how anyone feels, I hope that Mrs. Schiavo is at peace and not suffering any more.

…articles are here and here .

Last night I was able to speak to prospective CUNY Honors College students, meet with the Chancellor and Vice Chancellor, and chit chat with the next batch of applicants. I hope to soon find one that I can shape and mold into my devious little protege in an attempt to begin the world domination!!!

Nah, but Lev did make a strong point: perhaps it is time to share some of my experience with someone else, and leave a legacy that will last beyond my years here at City. Hey, I thought that was what was happening last Saturday when the CCNY Model UN won Outstanding Delegation at the Model UN for the second year straight!

Watch out CUNY, watch out NY…The City College behemoth awakens…

Ever Mr. Modesty.

Claudio won a Truman Fellowship!

He hints at it below, but everyone should know!

I think this might put my 2020 presidential run in jeopardy…. )

Congrats Claudio!

I get into the New York Times, recognized in an ad placed by my school for winning the Truman Scholarship (oh, yeah, by the way, I got it!), and my school misspels my name.

Check it out, page A11 of today’s NYT. Upper right hand corner.

Whatever, at least I got in the Times again!

UPDATE: I just did a telephone interview with a reporter for the New York Daily News. Their going to send a photographer to take my picture tonight as I attend a CUNY Honors College event at the Museum of Natural History.

All glory to God!

UPDATE AGAIN: My horrible picture is up on their website now. For all the ladies wondering, that is how I look 8AM in the morning. I wake up with pajamas, shirt, tie, and cufflinks on.

I guess democracy is OK with the Hollywood Left, as long as it’s happening in Taiwan?

I really can’t figure out these people:

Expecting no more than light chit-chat about ballroom dancing, reporters in Tokyo were startled when actor Richard Gere launched into a condemnation of Europe’s plans to lift an arms embargo against China.

After promoting his new film “Shall We Dance?,” in which he co-stars with Jennifer Lopez, Gere grabbed a microphone to denounce plans by the European Union to lift the embargo imposed after China’s bloody crackdown on pro-democracy protests in 1989.

“I so agree with your prime minister that the European Union should not remove the ban against selling arms to China,” he said. “I agree with him totally.”

Gere’s comments Monday came a day after visiting French President Jacques Chirac tried to mollify Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi by saying that lifting the arms embargo would not result in an increase in weapons sales to China.

“They should not be rewarded for this anti-secession legislation that’s in now,” Gere said, referring to a new Chinese law that sanctions the use of force against Taiwan.

I totally agree with him. In fact, let me take this one step further…

To the people of Taiwan: Your years of rule under an oppressive, tyrannical Communist regime should come to an end as soon as possible. Revolt! March, protest, show your love for democracy!

I would love to see Taiwan join the list of newly blooming democracies.

To continue what Claudio just said below…the site is functional as far as us posting goes. This is not the final design, it’s just a working derivative of the template that is loaded with MT. Well the three column thing is my addition.

Anyway, I will be working on the design as we go along, I just wanted to have something up so we can post, complain, solict donations, rant, rave, complain, bore our readers to tears, complain, post, complain, and do whatever else it is we do on this site. )

Happy Easter to those celebrating; to everyone else I wish a happy “Put Some Marshmellow Peeps in The Microwave So They Expand A Ridiculous Amount” Day and hope that you do that (’cause I know I will be…).

I just got home after checking out Karol’s blogger party on the Upper East Side…I took my girlfriend - we mixed, we mingled, and we had a ball. It sucked that I had to leave early, but that’s what happens when you’re twenty, live at home, and have a curfew.

Either way, expect a lot more blogging when this fixing-upping of the blog is done…Until then, hold on tight and be sure to come around regularly and check up on us!

Does anyone know anything about MT templates?

I can screw around with this all night, but, I’m really tired from work, going to the airport to pick up the sister, etc.

Enough for now.

Anyone with any knowledge of MT templates and styles please email me:

This is a test.
