In light of the current situation in Venezuela, I figured it would be a fun idea to share with everyone an interesting documentary. It is about the attempted Coup against Hugo Chavez in 2002, which has played a significant role in the recent turn of events on the private television station in Venezuela. The media within the United States and Venezuela was strikingly familiar then to what is being portrayed these days. What I find most interesting is that the media in the US and throughout Europe label Chavez as a growing dictator, however, they fail to mention that Venezuela currently practices a much more democratic system than even the United States. One example being the Venezuelan people can remove Hugo at any given point through a vote. This is the kind of democracy Washington finds appalling. Imagine what Americans would do to the current administration if given the same opportunity. So if interested give it a look.

So Jaime and I had a 3D Ultrasound taken. Isn't it crazy? He's a pretty good looking kid don't you think? He's due August 20 and right now he weighs 2 pounds 8 ounces.

Campus Fever
For the Calvin Alumni out there, check out my brother Nate's very funny video about life inside the Calvin bubble. Nate is a junior at Calvin and entered the video in a contest where contestants were given a theme, a required prop, and a required line of dialogue. Oh, and the video had to be completed in 24 hours. Here's the link in case it's not playing properly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z6MZO9Ufps
