It's OD for a change ......

Hi y'all,
TGIF - or the spanish version GADEV (Gracias a Dios es Viernes). This was a busy week. Papa Bear definetely got me on my toes, and, as Monica already mentioned, the subjuntivo and preterito finished me off. Spanish grammer is just plain mean.
Aside form grammar rules, in school we learned this week about the Mexican legend of the llorona - which roughly translates into "the weeping one". The legends (which seems to exist in different versions in Mexico) says that its the ghost of a woman that runs at night through the streets, loudly mourning her dead children.
As the story goes, it is a young, beautiful women that marries an older man. The young woman is bored, takes a boyfriend on the side, husband comes homes, and finds boyfriend, kills boyfriend yadda yadda yadda (you get the story). After that, young beatiful woman goes nuts and one night, while it rains really hard (I guess that part is only for drama), drags her children to the next standing body of water and drowns them. Because of that sin, of course, her soul doesn't find any rest and she keeps running & crying through the streets.
What gets me about the story is (i) why does the rest of us have to suffer her nightly yammering if she commited the sin and (ii) why doesn't the "soul doesn't get any rest" punishment ever gets dished out to people that really deserve it. I mean, really, there are plenty of individuals that any jury of peers would convict to an eternity of earth wandering and lamenting but it only seems to happen to mostly mentally ill indviduals that commit some random, heinous act.
And why am I talking about this. No reason really. It's just really nothing else happened this week :-)
Hasta Luego
