Super Bowl 50

It's almost time for the SUPER BOWL!!! Let me start by saying that the team I was actually routing for will not be making an appearance in this Sunday's game - but there's always next year. Besides, I'm quite pleased with this year's combatants? What? Of course they are combatants - it's going to be a battle!!! This isn't a game of RED ROVER or HOPSCOTCH!! This is the pinnacle of the GRIDIRON GAUNTLET - a battle forgered in 6 weeks (17 if you count the bye week) of skirmishes, combats, injuries, victories and defeats. I, for one, cannot wait!!!
So who you got? The CAROLINA PANTHERS (15-1) or the DENVER BRONCOS (12-4)???
Will it be Carolina's QB Cam Newton raising the Vince Lombardi Trophy on Sunday night? If so, he will become the 2nd player to win the Heisman, National Title, MVP and then of course the Super Bowl.
Or will it be Denver's QB Peyton Manning raising the Vince Lombardi Trophy in victory? If so, he will have 2 Super Bowl rings - the first courtesy of the win in SB XLI with former team the Indianpolis Colts.
Come February 7th, we will know for sure. So again, who's your team? What's your prediction? Will it be blow out or a nailbiting duel? Okay, so I'm hoping for the duel.

Oscar Chronicles - All By Myself

  Hola, mis amigos. I'm not going to ask if you missed me because - well, I already know you did. But more than that, I'm not going to ask because I'm sad, angry and hungry. Okay, perhaps I'm always interested in some snacks...Anyway, your Oscar is sad. Why? Is because a couple of weeks ago mi persona favorito decided to remodel his room. No really! He took all of the things out of the room - even my bed! At first I was angry thinking that he was kicking me out! He even took down his posters and emptied his closet! But then I started seeing him bringing some stuff back. Several pairs of his zapatos, some shirts and chaquetas. Some things he even put in the basura! Things that were too small or too old - you know how they do, right? So yes,  A MAJOR CLEANING. His room was like SUPER CLEAN.  He and his Papa also bought in new stuff. New zapatos, shirts, pants. The new stuff he put into a new bag. Nice! Good storage. It even has wheels!! So he can move it around a lot easi...

Being Strong Is Not for the Weak

Sometimes you may get tired and fed up. I mean come on, life has a way of testing you…and I mean way worse than any pop quiz you might have had. Sometimes the test starts small. Broke a nail after a fresh manicure? Hit your shin on the corner of the bed? (ouch). Then maybe it ramps up to you dropping your brand new cell phone face down on the pavement…while trying to put on the screen protector. Ugh! That sucks, right? Then there are household bills...sure you have some, right?  Yeah, they eat away a good chunk of your paycheck but you’re managing. Then a major appliance dies…then some shingles fall off your roof.. Sucks but ok. It seems like one thing after another after another. Sigh... but somehow you’re standing strong and making do, holding on. And then…car issues start happening…flat tires, brakes need replacing and then transmission blows! What?!! But you’ve got to be strong right? You’re an adult and you can and have to deal with these things. You can manage, right? Yeah? ...

Lessons Learned

You know, some people are just born lucky. No wait- hear me out! There are those people who could eat their weight in pizza and burgers and never gain an ounce...or worse, lose a pound or two. There are those people who can read a book once- cover to cover, mind you - and be able to site it word for word, down to the page the section came from. (Wouldn't that be a nifty skill to have around exam time?) There are those people who always seem to have the best EVERYTHING - families, jobs, homes, cars, wardrobes, dogs, friends, parking spaces! The list is endless. And there are those who for whatever reason, they never seem to encounter a time when things truly go wrong. Am I one of these people? Do any of the above fit the description of my life? With the exception of having the best family - cause let's face I do - nope. And is that okay? No, it's GREAT! If life was perfect, with no ups and downs, goodness how boring would that be? What stories would I have to tell ...
