Ode to Mamas Cubanas

 CUBAN MOTHERS
  

The great things my Mom taught me:
  
My mother taught me about RELIGION -
 "Pídele a Dios que yo no te agarre."
  
My Mother taught me about ANTICIPATION - "Deja que lleguemos a la casa, coño!"
 
My Mother taught me about my ROOTS ?
 
"Mal-agradecido, cuando yo era chiquita no tenía nada!"
  
My mother taught me about LOGIC ?
 "Cómo que por qué? Porque Si!"
  
My mother taught me about INSPIRATION-
 "Si llegas con malas notas te voy a hacer comer la chancleta"

 My Mother taught me about WISDOM-
 " Tú crees que te lo sabes todo y no sabes ni limpiarte el culo!"
 My Mother taught me about CONFUSION -
 "Me cago en la Madre que te parió!"
  (Wait, isn 't that her?)

 
Que vivan las Madres Cubanas!!!

Life is sweet

Life is sweet

And they lived happily ever after

And they lived happily ever after

One day a beautiful Jewish girl met a nice Jewish boy and made their mothers very, very, very happy

About Me

For those of you who know me, writing has always been one of my passions, with the exception of my Masters or any ridiculously long testament within the wide world of Academia. I've only had the pleasure of blogging a couple of times, mostly for a few classes in graduate school, but figured it was time to organize my numerous thoughts and musings with all of you out there in cyber land. I created this page because my mind is always running and often times my thoughts get lost in the hubub. Plus, my friends have always said that I'm a great storyteller, so I'd love to share them now with you. In the meantime, I'll leave you with this... Throughout the past 33 years of my life I've seen, heard, and experienced so many different things as well as had many adventures and dream of so many possibilities. But in short, what it comes down to is this..I'm just a little Jubana trying to make a difference in the world. Everyday I live my life to the fullest and have fun doing it. Life can't always be about work or how much money you make. There's so much more to life than that.
