The affair was brief and intense. I held her passionately and firm as if my life depended on it. A quick turn of the faucet would erase all evidence, but I’d remain there my cheek rested on her cool enamel side in contemplation. When all was said and done I had broken a 17 years legendary non-barfing streak and had nothing to show for but this recount of my brief flirting with the bathroom...

I want people who are up to spur of the moment activities (ie roadtrips, last min flights).
Count me in. I would love to do a road trip with you. Though I’m now a fighter, but a lover baby, yo por ti me emburujo con king kong.

needless to say, I’m inconsolerable right now.
I happened to be biking in the park that day and didn’t have a camera to “document” it.

Socialize a lot more

Cableless
Not that I willed myself into making the call to discontinue the service, because I did not. I just could not do it. I kept putting it off and off, all along saying to myself and anybody who cared to listen that I was going to cut my cable, that I wanted to read much more, like when I didn’t have cable service. Well, that never happened. They (Time Warner Cable) had to take the initiative...

Pensando ayer en el post de Alex, y viendo las imágenes de la parada Dominicana aquí en NY…Me vino a la mente la posibilidad de, bueno, una parada Haitiana en la República Dominicana…y me pregunté, ¿Porqué no?…tomando en cuenta estos parámetros:
Los Dominicanos nos hemos adueñado de Washington Heights…Calles a nombre de Duarte, paradas vanagloriando nuestra herencia.
