In first grade when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I was a broken record. The same answer came with every passing grade. All I've ever wanted to be was an artist, so to be one today is more than satisfactory, its awesome! My philosophy on life is the patchwork result of gathering bits and pieces from here and there, we learn even from the most unconventional methods. I think most things in life have a purpose, and even some trivial accident can unravel a domino effect. Every mundane detail of life is not Destiny, but major things sure are. Never try to push destiny though, it will only result in painful failure. Not saying there's no free will, you have to decide your path. External influences can only guide or distract, but the final responsibility falls on you alone. There are no excuses. ALWAYS think of others, give more than what is expected but remember to love yourself. Only you can put yourself down. Which leads me to say that it's better to be alone than in bad company. I'm a happy person :) so I wouldn't ever trade my life, with all it's roses and bitter, teary thorns. I ignore, get pass and bury any negativity that attempts to threaten my unabashed optimism. I'm an extrovert with introverted hobbies. The earth is our home and I try to care for the environment in whatever little way I can. I ♥ cooking, baking, exercising, gardening, reading, writing, sewing...I ADORE animals, but am definitely NOT a pet person. Rural or Urban? mmm...I can't decide, Why not both!? I believe in moderation, honesty, rectitude, tolerance, justice, loyalty, etc you get the picture. We should all strive to be better individuals everyday. Whether it's a vivid art book, a happy-go-lucky beach side tan, a family-packed dinner, an electrical melody or dizzying mojito it's uber important to appreciate the simple blessings. It's atrocious to follow either your mind or your heart. Pragmatic equations or uncensored passions get us nowhere, I'll stick to my conscience. *SIGH* I'm a health nut and I do my grocery and beauty shopping reading and re-reading the labels. I have...lemmie count...5 brothers, so yeah, when I'm not being a girly-girl in lacy pink I'm a part time Tom-boy :) I have my angry moments like all humans do but have been told my laughter is infectious, especially when it's a couple minutes long. If I'm not being an overactive chatterbug I'm submerged silently in my drawings. Not a TV fan but I do wish I had a golden,all-year-round entry ticket at the theaters since movies are a must-have. Politics'n'Paintings are my breakfast ( which is the happiest moment of the day ). In the political spectrum position me as a very progressive conservative in the center-left. Kinda confusing but hey! It works for me. Religion is a VERY important part of my life, but I keep my religion in-doors, and frown on proselytization. Maybe this is getting too long, you can't really define a person with a paragraph. OK, let's cut it short. I paint obsessively, I'm very politically-driven, a recent actress and I'm Caribbean. Want more? Just message me :) I'm very easy-going and would love to hear from you!
A NUESTRAS ESPALDAS
Seis privilegiados jóvenes cubanos visitan ahora Washington como premio por su graduación de seis meses en un curso universitario en Miami, dentro las becas “Somos un solo pueblo”. Hasta ahí suena muy bonito, pero en verdad es parte de un proyecto que trata de crear lideres artificiales para cambiar el sistema político cubano. ¡Que lástima!…pues … Continue reading "A NUESTRAS ESPALDAS"
LEGAL DRUGS
Humans possess the largest number of neurons (more like around 86 billion actually) and with adequate surroundings and a healthy breakfast, most children will produce that desired academic excellence. Unfortunately a nutritional stimulus isn’t exactly what some teachers are suggesting parents put into their kids mouths. When a student can’t sit perfectly still in a … Continue reading "LEGAL DRUGS"

TERRORISMO
Los cubanos que dejaron la isla al triunfo de la Revolución han envejecido o ya no están. Entre ellos los más extremistas que terminaron involucrados en acciones violentas contra Cuba, han llegado al fin de sus vidas sin lograr que nuevas generaciones sigan sus pasos. Aunque siempre hay algún loco que cree en ellos, y … Continue reading "TERRORISMO"
Blogs Disidentes
Desde Camagüey, una vez necesité conectarme a la web. Sin dudas el servicio pagado en la Habana era superior, aunque tenía falso contacto y cada X minutos tenia que teclear el número de la tarjeta pues se caía todo. Pero añoré aquel router Habanero cuando me tomó en Camagüey casi 10 minutos solamente para abrir … Continue reading "Blogs Disidentes"
LA FAMILIA
Yo realmente no se lo que es criarse con familia. En la antigüedad, incluso en muchas culturas actuales, una parejita con dos niños es demasiado reducida y débil para considerarse familia. El inmigrante sufre la perdida casi por completo de sus seres queridos y por ahora puedo decir que criarse sin los abuelos, tíos y … Continue reading "LA FAMILIA"
HABLO CON GUANCHE
A los 5 minutos de estar en presencia de Guanche, es fácil percatarse del cuantioso conocimiento que posee. Claro, como no basta solo dominar y memorizar, precisamente por esa idea que tengo es que puedo decir que Julio Cesar Guanche es una persona inteligente. Continuamente esta generando ideas, desarrollando posibilidades y usando la cabeza de … Continue reading "HABLO CON GUANCHE"
Floridita
Levantar puentes entre la cultura anglosajona y la latina es un deber de todo habitante de esta América nuestra. Como mismo dijo el Presidente Mujíca, hace falta que los norteamericanos aprendan español básico. No vaya a ser que esta poderosa federación por la arrogancia de la prosperidad olvide su pobre condición humana, y quede aislada … Continue reading "Floridita"
