Never in my life has it been so hard to get home! I had a flight that was leaving at 5:45 pm from philly, we had tickets to get back, and it was going to take about 2 hours. The bus, we thought, left every hour, so we planned on heading out at 1 pm.
Well, […]

Not the lesser east side
We ditched that piece of shit waste of time and headed to meet up with Roy’s friends at this bar. Edward & Baha were going to join me there and head out to party NYC style. We get to the bar and there was this short girl with a […]

Noon stopped by and woke us up. The rest of the group was already up, had eaten breakfast, and in Union Square shopping. How did these people manage to do this? I was feeling like shit! Damn Indian food!
We basically wasted the entire day aimlessly walking around Union Square & Washington Park. Why? For some […]

I took a Red-Eye on Continental Airlines to Philly, landed at 10 am, and headed to the School Of Dentistry to visit a friend. We hung out and took a $12.50 bus ride (P2P Bus) to NYC. It took about 4 hours because we were smart enough to leave at 3:30 pm on a Friday!
We […]

I know who you are
The photo albums are down because all the pictures got corrupted. I won’t be putting them back up until my entire site goes through a re-design.
Also, some of the links to my stories don’t work. Look at the right hand side under CATEGORIES. Rants & Raves has a bunch […]

Ok, it it 11 am on Saturday the 21st, I still don’t have my copy of “Deathly Hallows,” but I can live with that until I can pass out! Sako came to Las Vegas for a couple of days and had this friend (now my friend also) Tamar, who is Armenian from London, visiting Vegas […]

It has been a great 4 years for me and this series.
It all started in Brasil in 2003. I had an 8 hour lay-over in Sao Paolo, it was the only book in English and cost $35. I had watched the movie in 2000 or so and wasn’t too impressed, but man o man, when […]

Ciudad Vieja, translated into ‘Old Town,’ was the original city that used to be enclosed by huge walls. Today, only the gate remains into the old city. The area used to be ghetto, the slums, full of addicts and crooks, the typical image of a South American third world country downtown. But, about 5 years […]

Punta Del Este is a fantastic spot. The couple of days I spent there, mostly in Maldonado which is 5 km out of the Punta Del Este center, I saw 5 brazilian cruise ships show up and fill the area with Brazilians. In general, this is the rich area of South America. All the wealthy […]
