Con la "O"

 Day 91

Another day, another stupid thing I used to do on Facebook.  It was a very lame game of that consist of using the first letter of your name and answering 20 stupid questions.  This was back in Apirl 2009.

Note:  This was in Spanish, and translated to English some make not make sense, but I'll put the original word right in parenthesis if appliacable.

Rules: It's more difficult than it seems!!! Copy your own note, delete my answers, write your own, and tag 15 people including me. Use the first letter of your name to answer each of the following questions. They have to be real things... nothing made up! If the person who did it before you has the same initial as you, you should use different answers. You can't write any word twice and you can't use your name to answer questions 3 and 4. You can't ask anyone!

****DIFFICULT*****

Have fun!!


1. Your name: Omar

2. A 4-letter word: Other (Otro)

3.A boy's name: Osiris

4. A girl's name: Osairis

5. An occupation: otolaryngologist

6. A color: dark (oscuro) --> This one got me a lot of pushback because people were saying that dark is not a color in itself, but a status of a color.  Anyways, I never lose, so Dark is a color!!!

7. Something you wear: obese (if I eat a lot) --> This might not make sense translated.  In spanish "ponerse" (to wear something) is a verb also used to describe a feeling or a change.  For example "Se puso feliz" (He/She turned happy) or "Se puso el pantalón" (He/She weared the pants).  So, I was using that play of words in spanish ;)

8. A meal: oreo

9. Something you find in the bathroom: urine (orina)

10. A place: Oman

11. A reason to be late: leisure (ocio)

12. Something you yell: OK!!!

13. A movie title: Oh brother where are thou

14. Something you drink: orange liquor

15. Something you give: Oysters (if I have :P)

16. Something you buy a lot: opium (lol) (Disclaimer: I've never bought opium)

17. Something you've never seen: black sheep (oveja negra - but yeah, by now I've seen black sheeps)

18. Something you hate: hateful people (odiosos/odiosas) 

19. A part of the body: eye (ojo)

20: An insult: ogre, orangutan!!!!

So yeah, I was that lame then.

The Shopping Cart Theory

Day 64 As mentioned on an earlier post, Sundays are regularly the days I tend to like the least in part because it is the end of the weekend, but also because lately (last few years actually) they have become very straightforward for me: wake up, feed the cats, grab breakfast/brunch, hit the town, maybe hangout with friends, go to the supermarket, and eventually watch some good tv at night.  That's a typical Sunday for me and the reason why I mention this, is simply because the "supermarket" part is the one I am having the biggest problem with. It all comes down to the relationship between "supermarket" and "the end of the weekend" and to put matters worse, going to the supermarket has been turning into a kind of annoying task but not for the reasons you may think.  You see, what annoys me are the people and not the task itself, and bear with me for a second to go a bit deeper. One thing that drives me nuts is when I'm looking for a parking spot, I...

That stupid social media algorithm

Day 67 Again, I purposely left the writing for the next day.  Last night, by 8:30PM I was lying in bed on an extended petting session with Taco and I finally disconnected from my phone no later than 9:30PM.  Went to bed extremely early (for my standards) and I was able to get a good night sleep which is great news. But anyways, switching topic a little bit, and it does have to do with technology and more specifically with social media and their algorithms on what information they feed you.   You see, I’m a big guy in general, big frame, very tall, etc. and food is one thing that I truly enjoy, that doesn’t mean I eat like crazy, on the contrary, I’m kind of mindful on what I eat/drink especially on week days, but nevertheless the whole idea is that I love eating and food. So I recently found myself watching funny little videos of food on IG and Facebook and what I “mistake” that was.   Now, all I get is food recipes left and right, and not of the healthy ones b...

A Dominican Maestro!

Day 99 Out of all the great artist that have come from the Dominican Republic, no one is bigger or better than the Maestro Juan Luis Guerra and the reasons are abundant.  For the uninitiated, JLG is a musician with about a 40-year long career with mainly Latin rhythms like Merengue and Bachata but also covering Salsa, guaracha, rock, blues and many other. But what makes him amazing?  Well, for me, it all comes down to his craft: the music and lyrics are just amazing, is like a poem made into music and he is not afraid of touching all types of topics: love, pain, breakups, politics, religion, happiness, sadness, joyfulness, sorrow... basically sings of anything at any given time but I do have to highlight that love is his main topic. He is a highly respected musician in the industry and one of the biggest latin american stars who has won many Grammy awards, and is currently the leader of most Latin Grammy awards so far with 28 awards.  Even though is loathe by many back ho...
