And now we’re hurting turtles?

So it looks like people think live animals are toys they can play with. How do we end up in a world where people don't know how to react to other living organisms? I have to admit, I freaked out the time I was snorkeling and a bunch of turtles showed up, but I didn't … Continue reading And now we’re hurting turtles?

Run for your neurons

I like to run, mostly on the treadmill, by myself just listening to music; music is a must. At the beginning of the run I just want to give up, but as I keep going I start thinking; sometimes about dinner or lunch, sometimes about movies or TV. Other times stuff in my head starts … Continue reading Run for your neurons

#NoBillNoBreak

I have been kind off covering this story on a few of my previews posts, and today it got more interesting, but I won't stop until they vote. Right now democrat representatives are staging a sit-in, refusing to leave the house of representatives until they have reached a vote on gun control.  These are news … Continue reading #NoBillNoBreak

Burkina Faso: Get Ready

Tomorrow my cousin is going to Africa , where he will spend the next two years working with the Peace Corps. I want to wish Brian the absolute best and I don't know if I already told him but I want him to know how proud I am. This is a very good and brave … Continue reading Burkina Faso: Get Ready

Euro 2016 cardio

I'm a soccer fan, not a huge fan but I like to watch the tournaments and I am in love with a few players. However, I had not been watching the UEFA European Cup or Copa America both being held right now. I really haven't had time and that sucks, but this after noon, as … Continue reading Euro 2016 cardio

Happy Father’s and Grandfather’s day

I would like to take a moment to say Happy Father's Day to all the fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers (who are also fathers so they get a double celebration), and other father figures, be it a brother, a friend, or uncle, out there. I am lucky to have a few father figures in my life who … Continue reading Happy Father’s and Grandfather’s day

They’re older, I’m working

After spending Friday morning looking like a workaholic, working from the foodcourt and a mini sofa in one of the halls of the mall. I thought I wouldn't be able to do it with all the noise, but surprisingly I was able to focus. I had to make a lot of phone calls, but I … Continue reading They’re older, I’m working

Say no to guns

I have to keep going on about this because this is just a logical thing, don't put guns in the hands of citizens, even if they're law abiding citizens, or appear to be. You don't know whose hands the gun is going to end up, or where the bullet will end up. Republicans say carrying … Continue reading Say no to guns

Gun control, now!

Today, too many people continue to defend the indefensible. There are a series of issues in play here, but the United States of America has an undeniable problem with gun violence. How many more lives need to be lost before we do something about lax gun laws? How can a person previously tied to terrorism … Continue reading Gun control, now!

All we need is love

Hearing the news about the mass shooting in Orlando was another reminder of why we need love and acceptance in this world. I just keep thinking about all the victims, their friends and families. Our world cannot continue this way. Stop thinking about the differences between you and others, stop judging and criticizing. We don't … Continue reading All we need is love

My hero

I am very sad to write my last goodbye to a man who I can say is my inspiration. Pedro was a great husband to a very loving wife, a very good father, a very loving grandfather, and a great friend.  I had known him for about 16 years, when my mom started working with … Continue reading My hero

Post Graduate Certificate

My first attempt in taking a graduate class didn't go as well as I hoped, but I am ready to try again. I will start by taking one class in the Post Graduate Certificate at the best communications college in Puerto Rico, Universidad de Sagrado Corazon or Sacred Heart University. This will be just one more … Continue reading Post Graduate Certificate

Change the way health insurance treats us

Next chapter of how to deal with evil health insurance companies: First we went to pick up the letter my psychologist wrote to explain why I should have a health plan that covers more than just ten percent of my medicine, so they will think about letting me join my mom's health care plan again. … Continue reading Change the way health insurance treats us

I can vote!

I can finally vote! I know I could have registered to vote since I was 18, but I just did it today, 8 years later. I have had more complicated things going on during the two election years since then. First, in 2008, I was going off to college and we didn't have time that … Continue reading I can vote!

I have a problem and you’re not helping

Earlier today I found out that apparently no health insurance wants to cover epilepsy medicine. I visited my neurologist's office this afternoon to ask about the justification we asked him to write for me, the one so I would be accepted back into my mother's health insurance coverage. His secretary didn't remember seeing it but … Continue reading I have a problem and you’re not helping
