I just heard LA CHIFLERA with the most annoying girls voice and this guy rapping the words to La Chiflera... I think these reaggeatoneros should do themselves a favor... If you don't know how to sing, don't try to remake the song...

It occurred to me that we may be exploiting our own writing talents on these Blogs. The possibility of us getting a Book Deal on some of the ramblings we write about is possible but more like "Slim To None"...

This new Nintendo DS looks pretty cool... I was playing a game on it and it was rather difficult looking at two screens on two different plains. Nintendo warns of the incompatibility of the Nintendo DS. Nintendo representative said NDS was capable of playing GameBoy Advance games. However, people started wondering whether GameBoy and GameBoy Color games were included as well. Shortly after that, questions on compatible GBA peripherals came into mind.Nintendo warns the NDS owner that the unit is not compatible with:

Being a webmaster administrator and being able to manipulate programs and scripts is not an easy task for me. I spent about ten minutes to get a email subscriber script to work but I spent about 7 hours getting a guest book script to work. Every stroke of a key changed my print out of what I got on the screen and every time it looked less and less like what I wanted it to look like. Its pretty fun though and it becomes addictive in some way... If you'd like me to help you out with a script or take a look at its set up, email me @ edwin@edwinreyes.com...

What's going on in Sports today? Why don't these athletes play for the "Love Of The Game" anymore? They might be the best of the best in the sport that they play but they certainly aren't the best of the best when it comes to Morale, Personality, Character or "Sportsman like Conduct".

I've bike 250 miles from Bear Mountain through the hills of New England and into the heart of Boston for the AIDS Ride Pallotta Team Works Organization before and it was a blast. I honetly believe that if you have the will power to make a difference in something you believe in, you can and should take advantage of it. Join a crowd of thousands for Move Against AIDS, December 11th, at the world-famous Javits Center in Manhattan. This event will be benefiting AIDS foundations that have the ability to continue research for the AIDS cure.
Let's face it: Men like new and different. It's just the way we're made. In fact, according to Tim Birkhead, author of Promiscuity: An Evolutionary History of Sperm Competition, sexual promiscuity is the norm, rather than the exception, throughout the animal kingdom.

Remember the Rubiks Cube? Well I spent $10.59 just to re-live a childhood past time. I could solve the cube in about 10-20 minutes back then... Some people solve the damn thing in 10-20 seconds. It's going to take a while for me to figure this thing out now. I gave it THREE TURNS (give or take 3-4 more turns in the dark) from its "Picture Perfect" state and I have spent a total of about 4 hours trying to get it back again... I don't know how in the world people can use arithmetic algorithms to figure the cube out, but they have engineered programs to do just that... Purchase your own at Toys R Us or at RUBIKS.COM...

Hilarious.... Check it out... If you have a good chair in mind that I should check out please email me... Thanks
I remember watching Bill Mauhers' season finale on HBO as he spoke about the presidential election amongst other political ongoing. It dawned on me that there is no evitable way for religion not to play a roll in politics. For example, the list of articles below found today on the web. Although they are politically driven, they are also strongly tied to religion.
President Leonel Fernandez "...While recognizing that RD$11,000 a month was "a small salary" for a doctor... he pointed out that we are in the Dominican Republic, not the United States. " Thats approximately $350-$400 US Dollars a month with the price of the peso fluctuating the way it has lately... Wow... thats really bad... making me think twice, three times, four times... I'd have to re-consider if want to move and work for the country. Out of "Good Will" might be one of the main reasons at this point... read more at DR1...
It's funny how such a controversial topic such as the Post on Reggeaton attracts so much attention. I ask myself WHY? What do readers really look for in what they read...? Are they looking for someone that is out there expressing the same exact views they have or is it because they think that the person that writes the article is so close-minded that they are too blind to see what is going on?
I've researched a number of foundations in about 20 minutes and couldn't associate any of the "Reggeaton" Artists with any of them. Now I'm interested in knowing "what good these artists are doing for the Hispanic Community"... I'm sure they have a legal team somewhere to promote all the good they are doing somewhere in the world, but it is not clear enough to the blindman like myself to realize that they are making a difference and not just in it for the money.

It may just be me, but it is my conclusion that Reggaeton has reached its maximum potential just like Merengue reached its potential in the 80's. Ofcourse there are more great Reggaetones to come, but the "Cream of the Crop" has been planted. Los Merengue Classico De Los 80 todavia se escuchan por donde quiera and I have a feeling that Reggaeton will be heard for many more years to come but at what price? Aside from the fact that the majority of musicians may be in it for the love, sex, money, fame and fortune, I find it hard to believe that any of them are doing any good for the Hispanic Community abroad at this moment in time. A great example of the kind of good that I'm talking about is Rap Artist Nelly from St. Lunitics... Nelly has helped St. Louis in many ways. Education, City Parks, Urban Development, After School Programs and the list goes on and on. And although these Rappers have been criticized for having women in bikinis in their Videos, I don't think that they come close to the number of women that strip down to nothing while dancing Reggaeton at a club. I understand that music is a form of art, but to what extent? Some may say that listening to this music makes them horny, makes them feel nice without getting high or drunk, but the truth of the matter is that they are making money off of it so they don't care what happens out there. You can get raped, you can get stabbed, you can get jumped... but then a lot of people may say that you will encounter that atmosphere anywhere you go... I find that hard to believe. I believe that the way in which our Latin Ladies get dressed up to go to these festivities, and the number of Latin Brothers that may get high or get that "nice" feeling just before they get the club opens the window of opportunity for these types of things to happen as opposed to that Latina/Latino going to check out a Jazz Concert. They, the artists, believe that their music is another Avenue to express themselves just like Rap is an avenue for the predominately African American community to express their thoughts and feelings. The bottom line is that there will come a moment in time where the media will feed off of this negative feedback and make us look like we have all been corrupted or have corrupted a generation of young adults to be worse off then they would have been if they would have listened to Jazz per say. And I certainly don't want to hear from anyone that this is like Bachata when it first came out. Bachata was for the ruthless in Dominican Republic and they were often frowned upon by others when it first came out. To this day, many people still do not listen to Bachata simply because they don't like it. From what I understand Reggaeton has been underground for so long and that most of these "Reggaetoneros" were barely in their teens when they first started their journey into Mainstream. Not to mention that their "audience" is much bigger then the population in Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico put together. I'm honestly interested in what people have to say and what they think may or may not happen with the future of Reggeaton and more or less educate me if I'm missing any aspects of Reggeaton that i may have overlooked.
When was the last time you took a look at the bathroom floor while taking a shit and thought about the floor color, patern, texture or grout days later??? Nunca... you never really think back at how ugly the floor in your HS bathroom was... of all the colors they could have picked they had an ugly ass orange or an ugly ass green tile... lol... I mean really... when you get the option of picking the color for your bathroom floor, pick something that people will remember the next time they take a shit somewhere else...
I just found the best site on the web for recipes on Dominican Food... Just the thought of me being single, having to cook for myself when I don't want to order out, and the possiblity of being able to impress a woman with some great food... are ALL great reasons to make me want to learn how to cook. And since your not supposed to start a sentence off with the word AND, AND, AND.... And since its Dominican Food, Even Better! Click HERE to check it out...
Battery Park takes its name from a line of British cannons that once protected the harbor in the late 1600s. Now, visitors will find a collection of memorials, gardens and breathtaking views of the Statue of Liberty. One highlight is the Hope Garden (a rose garden with 10,000 specimens). Planted in 1992, the garden is a memorial to those who have died of AIDS. Several other memorials are here, including one to veterans of World War II, and another for the Korean War. Ample benches face the Hudson, Liberty Island and the Lady herself, lovely against a sunset.
This coming Sunday I will be a volunteer thoughout the NYC Marathon! I also plan on running the event next year which should be exciting. I have ran cross country, indoor track, and track and field since the age of 14. Aside from not making it to the Olympics, this is just short of that spectacular feeling of being surrounded by millions of people. Almost just like Felix Sanchez. I certainly wasn't as fast as Felix in the 400M, but my times were just under 51 sec. I also ran a 4:16 Mile, a 1:57 half mile, and a 16:16 3 mile course thoughout my career as a runner. I hope this coming Sunday is an inspiration to myself and I also look forward to next years Marathon!
It's rather frustrating that the entire midwest and southern States of the United States has placed George W. Bush into office for four more years. This will be the last post I write about the Presidential Election. I don't think that these induviduals truly understand the position that us Americans, particularly those close to the events of 9/11 are put into with having this entity that represents more then just a corrupt Corporate America, back into the White House. I don't think that Kerry Supporters like myself should go on agonizing about the defeat, and I certainly can't see myself making mends with these "Republicans". To me the majority of you republicans have voted out of fear for what could have happened if George W. Bush wasn't in office instead of the dignity, respect, trust and honesty of all Americans as well as the International Community that John Kerry would have brought to the table. This is just as bad as the Yankees loosing to the Red Sox!
Here we go ALL OVER AGAIN... 4 More years of this shit and even the possiblity of being drafted. How do you like that... These polititians and the group of "The Heart Of America" in between NYC and California are a group of MAMAGUEBOS! They fear not the presence of a new President but the Lives of thier Friends and Family in Iraq so they have to re-elect the biggest asshole they can possibly find. George W Bush.
Hoy le meti a George W. Bush algo que no le cabe en el trazero... Por los 4 Anos que estuvo en la Casa Blanca, no hizo "ni la mita" de lo que se tenia que hacer. Despues del 9/11, George W. Bush actua como el Presidente de los Estados Unidos, pero fallo en realizar lo que todo ciudadanos de America esperavan, la captura de Bin Laden, el progresso economico de Los Estados Unidos, y la seguridad de nuestro bien ser. Only 4 days prior to the election, Bin Laden released a video promoting the same exact terrorism that hit America on 9/11. Yet we are told by the President of the United States that we are safer then ever before. How safe can we really be if the man that is terrorizing American lives is able to easily access and terrorize the American Vote only days before the election via the TV? Moreover, we are in debt wih a Trillion+ Dollar Deficit after having a Surplus from the Clinton Administration, Health issues are on the rise (i.e. Flu Vacinces), and we have an International Community that no longer confides in America the way in which it had in the past few Decades. I strongly believe that Bush has had enough time in the Presidential White House and I hope that many more Hispanic/Americans feel the same way I do. Regresare mas tarde para dar los resultados de las Eleciones Presidenciales del 2004!
Don't forget to Vote this coming Tuesday!
