Revelations


The past two weekends had been quite interesting. One of my brothers is helping me finish all the things the F contractor never did. What is the relevance? That brother had been the black sheep all his life. To the point I did not even acknowledge him for over 4 years. He had been a pain to my mother since he was 15 and now is reaching 50. Suddenly after my mother retired he change. He is clean now, taking care of himself and even getting along with our stepfather. If he was willing to change so was I. After a few months of lowering my guard I decided to ask him to come and work on my house. Not only did he accepted but my other brother and my mother jumped in the wagon. So for the past two weekends I have had the weird experience of becoming a real Family Guy. Working on the garage, on the garden and cleaning the house. They are like ants and loud as gorillas, but all in all they are my family...damn it took me 30 years to accept that. I think they are the only group of ppl I will ever feel attach to. My mother has been radiant since it had been years, many years, since her sons had spend time together with her at the same time without a funeral been involve. And the fact that the work in the house is getting done is a plus bonus.

Just been lazy


A bunch of useless, meaninless and ordinary events had occured in the last month and I won't go on and on about that. Instead I will go over the high point of this year so far. The Iron Maiden concert...the freaking Iron maiden concert!!! After been so stupid to schedule an upgrade the same day of the concert(thankfully nothing went wrong) I decided to visit mother and father before loosinf myself in the madness...the madness came a little early with another chapter of Family Guy, puertorican version. I couldn't arrive to meet a few peps for drinks but as a class reunion the closer I got to the Choliseo the more ghost from the past I meet. Apparently the gates of Hell were open and many creatures came out that night. Once inside the mass of black shirts was outstanding. Never in the Island had I witness such a wave of metalness(I ran out of good metaphors). The whole freaking place was pack with fans from all ages.
After a so so performance by Steve Harris daughter, and a fifteen minutes wait at 9:33pm(by my watch)...
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender

With that began the experience to kill every single concert I had ever seen. I was able to be only feets from the stage. Beside a few minor and major sound problems the concert was incredible.
