Occupy Wall Street... I have conflicting feelings. On the one hand, I understand the recession is making everybody desperate and the disparity between social classes keeps increasing, but on the other hand, I also reckon, it is the rich people who drive the economy for they make the businesses that make the jobs that we live on. If not, then they lend…
Me extendió la mano invitando y la tomé. Su brazo, firme, agarró mi espalda y con el mío correspondí; dejando inclinar mi cuerpo hacia el suyo. Del abrazo surgió un movimiento. Lado a lado nos mecimos; un vaivén como las olas del mar. Mis pies esperaban su intención, ansiosos. ¿Cuándo? ¿Qué? Me ardía la curiosidad. Sentí su pecho dirigirme. Sutilmente…
1. Smile often. It increases the oxygen to the brain and makes you look prettier. Also, people are nicer to you. 2. Find a physical activity that puts a smile on your face and do it as often as possible for the rest of your life. 3. Have children (if you can). They will be the only true legacy you…
Money; it appears to be a rather important thing these days. Everybody wants it, or perhaps they need it. Those who have it, apparently are never satisfied and are always looking for more (there’s that word again) of it. If you read the news you realize most people are actually willing to kill for it! This “money” must be a…
Sunday... the typical "family day". Quality time with the kids is the general rule. Last sunday was no exception. Plans for a late lunch at tepanyaki restaurant with the kids and... (cue suspenseful music) THE GRANDPARENTS! Wonderful people, no doubt, but outings with them means I have to bear the constant watchful eye of the Mother Queen (a.k.a. Grandma). Should…
I was starting a nice little post on waves when the power went out! (Insert unhappy grunt sound here.)Luckily, whenever the power goes out it usually comes back within five minutes. Wait! How do I know that? Oh! That's right! Because it happens all the time!!! Welcome to Puerto Rico, where the power goes out whenever the governor farts! Apparently, he's been…
Waiters, bartenders, servers and restaurant workers in general should unite and stand for their rights! Consumers should join them. The average waiter or bartender earns about $3 an hour. The current minimum wage is $7 -$8 an hour. That is less than half of minimum wage! Yes, I'm sure at this point you've already reasoned away that 15% of tip that always looms…
The more I think about it, the more I realize, the problem with society today is: More (the pun is absolutely intentional). The human population of the world is divided into two basic groups: Those who have MORE and those who don't have ENOUGH. As living creatures, we have an inherent right to survive and endure. There are a few basic…
This is my very first post so don't expect anything grand or mindblowing just yet. That will come in the very near future. For tonight, I'm just testing out the format and trying to get a little flow going. Stay tuned for just about anything!
