the plague

Since the beginning of civilization we always had plagues, many plagues had torture the earth, many have come and go, and others come and go and reappear again to cause more trouble.
The only plague that has managed to stay with us and disguising herself as a truthful human is the snitch plague.
I have suffer at first hand the destructive power of the chivatos,the lingering battle between the good and the evil in Cuba can’t never be won until that plague comes near extinction.
The chivatos are responsible for most of the cubano suffering, in fact; the old cock sucker will have fall long time ago without the help of los chivatos.
I picture him with out the chivas a marionette with broken strings.
The snitch has no friends, no family, and no morals.
Thousands incarcerated and murdered due to the chivatos sneaky activities.
Many more of the chivatos penetrate the resistance; they become leaders to their fellow fighters, and when they strike, the whole cell ends up in jail doing 20 years or plus
That is why my friends Cubans are so mistrustful, paranoid and afraid.
Many of the chivas sometimes change their minds and decide they have cause enough damage or le han pisado un callo y brincan and next thing you know, the chiva is living in the states.
Rats nothing more than rats, when they don’t find that piece of cheese, they move to the next door basement.

Laserie


Las cuarenta
Letra: Francisco Gorrindo 1937
Con el pucho de la vida apretado entre los labios,la mirada turbia y fría, un poco lerdo el andar,dobló la esquina del barrio y, curda ya de recuerdos,como volcando un veneno esto se le oyó acusar.
Vieja calle de mi barrio donde he dado el primor paso,vuelvo a vos, gastado el mazo en inútil barajar,con una llaga en el pecho, con mi sueño hecho pedazos,que se rompió en un abrazo que me diera la verdad.
Aprendí todo lo malo, aprendí todo lo bueno,sé del beso que se compra, sé del beso que se da;del amigo que es amigo siempre y cuando le convenga,y sé que con mucha plata uno vale mucho más.
Aprendí que en esta vida hay que llorar si otros llorany, si la murga se ríe, hay que saberse reír;no pensar ni equivocado... ¡Para qué, si igual se vive!¡Y además corrés el riesgo de que te bauticen gil!
La vez que quise ser bueno en la cara se me rieron;cuando grité una injusticia, la fuerza me hizo callar;la experiencia fue mi amante; el desengaño, mi amigo...Toda carta tiene contra y toda contra se da!
Hoy no creo ni en mí mismo. .. Todo es grupo, todo es falso,y aquél, el que está más alto, es igual a los demás...Por eso, no has de extrañarte si, alguna noche, borracho,me vieras pasar del brazo con quien no debo pasar.



The above lyrics are powerful lines from a everyday life, these masterpiece was first introduce to me thanks to the great voice of the late Cuban vocalist Rolando Laserie.
Great emotions play along in these verses.

a journey into one of tocororo's tank













All the animals are alive and well
Starfish
Sea squirts
Invertebrates
Feather dusters
Anemones.
… And of course the fishes.

MANDARIN GOBY






This is my mandarin goby, I happen to think this one of the most fascinating creatures in the reef environment.
The mandarin goby is considered a high maintenance fish due to his diet and finicky eating habits, but if your tank is mature enough with plenty of live rock and a vast colony of amphipods this beautiful fish will thrive and will give many years of enjoyment.
This goby will spend most of the day hunting for live amphipods so a mature reef tank is a must, you could also try giving him live feeder saltwater shrimp and phytoplankton.
I know is a little of bit of work but just look at my pics and enjoy that vibrant coloration ,without touching the photo ,original shot.

un pedazo quedo en mi cuba


Yesterday was one crazy day.The first thing that happen to me was that I was talking to a good friend of mine about cuba and the good things that the blogers are doing in the net against castro.
This guy was amazed about the things that are happening on the net against cagastro.
And he said to me – this stuff that you doing is dangerous verdad?
Yo solo lo mire y le dije tomas …esta gente acabaron con my childhood...this people seed it the hatred in me since I was a little boy ..why I am going to be afraid?I suffer so much for nine years …they grab me by the hand when I was 6 years old and they call me gusano ….when I watch my dad get arrested for no reason …que mas me van a quitar ..no pueden quitarme nada porque ellos fueron los que me eseñaron a odiarlos …yo vi a mi abuelo morir por culpa de ellos sin ver tierras de libertad. I really avoid to talk about that but some how he understood.
then the same day I was jogging and some guy with the che t shirt was running along me and I made a comment to my friend about el che ,I was not even talking to this particular shit head and the fucking guy call me a capitalistic rich asshole,and I lose my temper I ran towards him y lo jale por la camisa and I challenge him to fight me ,well he did not fight me ,he walk away but I am the kind of Cuban que no habla mucho ..bastante pase yo en mi tierra pa quedarme callao ahora como un comemierda

Open letter to the armed forces


I received this by email,not my original work ,but is so good so I post it.



Dear Friends,I am writing this letter to apologize for the behavior of some of the politicians in this country who see you as nothing but political pawns to be used at their personal whims and ambitions.These gutless so called public servants are not worthy to tie the laces on your desert boots and I only hope that when you enter civilian life you will remember what these people are trying to do to you.These same people, who are on record speaking about just how dangerous Saddam Hussein was to our country and how he needed to be stopped are now backpedaling and slipping and sliding on their own words, trying to distance themselves from a war they, themselves approved and sent you to.The situation in Iraq is just as volatile as it was when you went over there and just as dangerous and anybody who thinks we're fighting anything but genuine terrorists over there needs to have their heads examined.I have heard the argument made that we had Saddam contained before the war. Contained from what? It certainly didn't stop him from doing dirty business with the French and Russians, getting billions of dollars in blood money from the food for oil program in the process. And what did he spend that money on? Who knows, certainly not the spineless self-serving panderers in Washington trying to get face time on all the news shows in hopes making some political hay at the expense of our brave men and women at war.If these people really wanted to do right by you they would recognize the many, many good things you're doing instead of wallowing in the few bad ones like lazy sows in the mud.Well let me tell you something. This is one American whose support will not be fading away. I support you, I pray for you and God willing I'm coming back over there next spring to entertain you againI will make you a prediction. If next week some of our forces would discover evidence of weapons of mass destruction you would see these same people on all the Sunday morning TV shows praising you and the wonderful job you are doing and how they've been in your corner all along.This whole charade is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempts to take control of the White House and both houses of congress and if it happens, God help us. America has done left enough messes in the world in the last half century.Vietnam could have been won, the first Gulf War could have been concluded and probably have saved us from the one you're fighting now. Somalia, the USS Cole, the first Trade Tower bombing, and the list of unfinished business go on and on.If we pull out of Iraq before the job is finished we may as well forget ever being trusted again, and deservedly so. And the bad guys will perceive us for pushovers and the terror will increase.I believe if we could take the politics and hostile media coverage out of this war for one year, you guys would "get er done" and everybody could come home and vote against these backstabbers.

Rockafellaaaaaaaa......(2005)
