21 de marzo – 20 de abril

Tu estilo de vida cambia aunque no quieras. Te cuidarás más y sabrás regalarte más tiempo. No te desvivirás más por complacer a otras personas. Te complacerás a ti mismo. Tu vida social será menos demandante y de mayor calidad.

Remember Friday the 30th.

Placita ;) + 2 AM.

Good Night in all and all =)

Puerto Rico's drug problem

Almost 60 murders in 25 days. What the fuck is happening in Puerto Rico?! High crime rate, high unemployment, high cost of living...and fucking low wages!

I have a cousin who finally got a job that pays her more, when I asked how much...$8. Eight crappy dollars! This is a woman who has a bachelors degree, a married woman with a house to support. Eight dollars makes it out to just $1,280 before taxes. That means she probably puts like $900 every month in her pocket. Her husband works in a store and the store is probably going to close soon. Between both of them they probably make like $2000 after taxes per month.

What kind of future will these two capable, hardworking people have? Sure, they might have their savings, but if her husband is laid off how long will those savings last when the prices of everything on the island are going up?

I read that prices for commodities have increased 11%. Have the wages increased 11% as well? No. Therefore, were is the 'average Pedro' gonna get that extra 11%?

As I read the news I can't help but be pissed that so many good people who are more than capable and prepared end up jobless or in jobs that pay very little.

Funny that people wonder why so many people have turned to crime as means to make a living. Let me create a scenario: You're in your 20's, you graduated highschool. The US government will pay for your education. Much harder to get is money for transportation, materials, books, clothes, etc. So, how are you going to pay for it?

Let's say that you do pay for it, you so graduate...Now what? Work 40+ hrs a week for a crappy $8 per hour?!

Isn't it much easier to work 4 hrs per day selling drugs making anywhere from $200 - $2000 pero day?

There you go. THAT is why Puerto Rico has this huge drug problem. It's not the reggaeton invasion (as some conservatives will have you believe), it's not greed, it's only the need to survive.

Granted, there are always going to be the bad apples who are inclined to crime. But the majority of potential criminals will be deterred if they have ways of making a good living.

If Puerto Rico wants to rid itself of the drug crime infestation is has to address the roots for the problems that lead people to crime. It's definitely not the music, not geographical influences, it's (in most cases) the only way to make ends meet - even if it means paying with your life.

Eliud's Wedding The perfect Ending to 2006

To end the year 2006, we had Eliud and Miguel, getting married. Both of them are great friends and I wish them the best...

Here are some pictures of Eli's and Debbie's wedding...

Next excuse to drink..... Jayson's B-Day :)

For Jay's B-Day we decided to take it a lot easier. We went out for Sushi and drinks. The highlight of the night was this Lara Croft looking girl that showed up at "El Cojo" where we went drinking afterwards. To bad we didn't get pictures of her.... I doubt they would have fit on a single picture tho....

From Jayson's B-Da...

Another Party @ Jay's

All I have to say about Jay's parties is that his grandma can sure cook in the morning. And after drinking yourself to sleep waking up the next day to a nice meal is the best thing ever.

Here are some pictures of one of those parties :)

Gigi's B-Day Bash

There is not much evidence of what happened @ Gigi's B-Day Party.... some say that is a good thing. Anyways here are a few unconfirmed images of that day.

Justas 2006

Ok so "Las Justas" is nothing more that college students competing against one another in some sort of Olympic type style thingy.... well at least thats how is advertised....


WRONG

Justas is nothing more than a bunch of college students + anyone else that has ever been to college, + the neighbor of those that have been.. + high school drop outs... + anyone else that wants to get drunk for an entire weekend.

enough said.....

Birthday Cake + Beer + Vodka = No

Ok few months later after Eliud's B-Day, it was my turn. All I can say is that mixing Beer Vodka and cake will equal to a very rough morning after. I still feel sorry for that plant. I don't think it will ever grow again......


Eliud's B-Day 2005 a Heineken Jazz fest with out the Jazz!

Ok so my secret Santa forgot about me as you can see in my last post, but that was A OK! since Eliud's secret Santa brought him 2 cases of Heineken.


2 cases of Heineken *free from secret Santa
2 more cases of Medalla * 9.95 (before the IVU)
Getting shit face on a Monday due to Eliud's B-Day *priceless





There are some things money can buy... for everything else there is beer

Next Stop: More Drunken Stuff


After our Incubus / all the other drunken nights mixed into my last post, we decided to hang out a Jay's house. Not much going on here other than Beer/Tequila/Poker night.

Oh.. I've never game was awesome.... I think....

Anyways... here is that album from 12-17-05.

The Year in Review:

During the next few posts, I will be presenting to all who read all those great times during this past year or so. It has been a rough year for me but after all a good year. Many new friends, many great friends and unforgettable moments. I want to thank all of those who have played a special role in my life, and have made this, one of the greatest years in my life.


To all of you I say THANKS!!!

To begin I want to take a look at one of the first few moments with my new friends. In November 2005, we received tickets to Incubus. Here are the pictures:
