Please bear with me on the looks of my blog. It is a work in progress and hopefully lots of changes are coming. For now I will try to keep up with the posts and hopefully gain a lot more followers!

Mamoncillos! or Spanish Limes for those that don't remember!

Mamoncillos! or Spanish Limes for those that don't remember!
A while back joined a Face book group called I remember Key West when... I can't believe I had never seen or heard of this group before. I am so glad I found it. It has brought back so many great memories of my favorite place in the world....Key West. No matter where in my travels I have been, Key West is the one place that remains in my blood and my soul.

I really hope it brings a lot more friend invites and followers to me because all of those memories, and the great people that share them, mean so much to me and my life. Some I know, some I don't, but the stories are all great and what I remember growing up on this island also. I promised in a post in this group to write about Mamoncillos on my blog, so I am now. I posted a pic and titled it Mamoncillos! or Spanish Limes for those that don't remember!
The responses and comments were on the verge of over whelming! My phone is still blowing up with comments on it daily, and are still coming in to this day!

All of my Key West friends and followers (mostly on Twitter as opposed to my blog for some reason) remember this highly guarded and sought after fruit as either Mamoncillos or Spanish Limes. They are called Quenepas in other places.

What is most amazing about this fruit besides the taste, is the memories it brings back to so many people. Some that don't know, may say it's just a fruit. It is so much more than that to so many people. I received so many stories from so many different people and their memories of this magical fruit. This fruit is so powerful that it makes everyday, law abiding citizens that would not even step on a bug, jump fences and sneak into yards just to steal some of them! I remember the few lucky people that had this fruit tree in their yard guarding them as if that tree were that last food on earth!
My Abuela Blanca Avael and Abuelo Julio Avael were two of those lucky people. God I miss them and those trees. Luckily those trees were rarely "raided" because they were very difficult to find and you would have to get through so many Family members and friends, which in Key West are the same thing, that I was one of the only few people and what a lucky Grandson I was, that had access to these trees. My "Cuzzy" Darren Avael was the other Grandson. We used to sell them on the corner of Watson St and Truman Ave. Using an old cigar box we got from Abuelo (Grandfather) for the money. Does anyone remember how special you thought it was when you bit the shell open to find it was a "double" or "triple"? LOL

Key West has a remarkable history. Many Famous stories and famous people have some kind of history on this island. But it's the people that were born here or grew up here that have all the great stories. Anyone can Google the big historical stuff about Key West, but only the Conchs or "Fresh water Conchs' can tell the real stories and have the real pics!

Pretty much everyone has fond memories of where they grew up and fun little stories about where they are from. Key West people are so much different. They remember so much more. They have so many more stories. So much closeness to the island and the people they grew up with and the things they did as children were so different. The memories and the stories that come from such a small little island seem to tower over anywhere else.

Children Are Amazing!!

2011-09-16T14:17:00.000-04:00

Children do funny things, crazy things, dumb things, smart things, things that make us angry, things that make us proud, things that make us remember, things that make us forget, they are medicine when we are sick, happiness when we are sad, they are energy when we are tired, they calm us when we are mad.
If only I could still see everything like my daughter sees things.....If only I could act like she does ALL the time.....
Every Loving parent wants to brag about thier child and thinks they are special, and they are. All children are special. They are us, they are our past, they are our future. They ground us, they lift us. We should be thanking them for all they do for us....
So here starts my bragging about my daughter for just a bit. I am so lucky to have NEVER been one of those parents that can't wait to have "time away" from her. I have never needed "a break". Parents have told me over and over "just wait", "you'll see", that has not happened yet. No terrible two's, no loss of sleep, no terrible anything. She is 5 now, and I still have never not wanted her company. I take her everywhere. If I have to work on my car she is there learning and holding bolts for me, if I am building something she is there learning and helping, if I go shopping she is there, if I am doing yard work she is helping (usually picking the weed flowers before I mow them). Which brings me to the reason I was inspired to write this today. Did I mention children inspire us?
Anyway, I was walking my daughter to her classroom today and on the way she pulled the one and only little flower out of the middle of a bunch of weeds and gave it to me to "have for the day to think about her". It was all I could do to not shed a tear...
Man, if only we could apply that thought process to our adult lives. I saw a weed that I would have stepped on with no thought. She saw something beautiful to give to her Dad.
My child sees everything from me as a gift. If it is a chore, she's thankful I asked her to help, if it's a toy she's thankful I thought of her. Wow, how can I see things that way???? Her new thing to tell me is "Daddy, I love you so much I can't stop saying it". I can honestly say I don't believe anyone has ever loved me that much. If that isn't inspiring I don't know what is.
I know there are parents out there that have children that drive them crazy. They can do things that down right make your skin crawl. All I can say is try to laugh with them. It will change things. When they see you laughing it's like a light bulb going off in thier heads. You can become so much closer to them by involving yourself in what makes them laugh! You can get mad at whatever they did and add that anger to the rest of your lifes angers or you can laugh it off, clean it up, fix it, whatever... and give them a big hug and enjoy the craziness! Become a child yourself if even for a minute.....

P.S.
Bye the way, that tiny little weed flower is in a shot glass of water because I just know she is going to ask me about it later.

Lies Destroy Everything

2011-08-06T16:41:00.000-04:00

It's almost funny that the Dictionary defines Lie as a verb as "to be in a helpless or defenseless state". That is not the Lie I am referring to, but it almost fits because if you lie to someone that is exactly where you leave them, in a helpless or defenseless state. Believing what you say to be true. Adjusting their decisions and feelings on a false statement....making their decisions or statements totally wrong or irrelevant. From there, things just get worse and worse.

Lies ALWAYS come out in the end...ALWAYS.....

I have always been brutally honest. Sometimes it gets me in trouble, but I just don't care. At least I told the truth! I have lied to avoid hurting someones feelings and all I felt is regret for not telling the truth, so I usually end up going back and laying it right out, hurtful or not. People get over hurtful truth but sometimes never get over caring lies.

(Beer Break Time.....Jimmy Cliff is singing his version of "Higher and Higher", gotta Jam for a few).....

Back: That was inspiring!

I think about children when I think of truth. Sometimes they are so truthful it's embarassing! My 5 year says one day in line at the grocery store "why does that FAT lady have so many groceries, maybe she should buy less and she would not be so FAT"! OMG, talk about "wanna get away"! But someting weird happened when I looked at that lady straight in the face ready to apologize.....she said "don't worry about it, I know she is right"! Holy crap! My 5 year old just told a hurtful truth and it worked! Lesson learned.........
I will leave everyone that reads this with that lesson. I was going to really get into a long story about lying but that might give away my motives to writing this. So I have decided to let you readers utilize what I say in your own ways. We all have been hurt or are hurting someone with Lies. STOP!!!!!!!! I can't stand old quotes but "the truth will set you free" is one you or I just can not avoid.

All I have to say is be who you are. Tell the truth. Do not lie on that resume, do not lie to that love of your life, do not lie to your friend, do not lie to your enemy, do not lie period............you will be better off in the end.........

Remember, in this day and age technology will catch you, or a freind will slip and you will be caught, or just someone like me that can just tell when you are lying will catch you. Then what? An argument on your lies? That is useless. You could have been truthful from the start. The hurt may still happen, but it will not last. It can be seen through, worked out, discussed, or maybe just ended.

Be free. Tell the truth...

I'm still here

2011-06-25T14:36:00.000-04:00

I've had a bunch of people asking where I have been. It's been a while but I'm still here. Partly been busy, been partly under the weather. I'm searching within myself for the next Blog and should be officially back soon. Any ideas out there? Throw them at me!

Diverticulitis Trending!

2011-05-14T13:24:00.000-04:00

I can't believe that @ 11:20am today the number 6 trending topic on Yahoo was Diverticulitis. I was diagnosed with this a little over a month ago. Just touching on my last blog, finally something other than a celebrity and what's going on in their personal life made the top 10!

This disease is no joke. It's very painful...a real pain in the butt! However it gets kinda downplayed because it can usually be controlled with small changes in your diet and most people will only have what's called a “flare up” once or twice a year. People with diverticulitis have to stay away from things like poppy seeds, corn, and peanuts, along with many other foods.

I followed this strict diet plan ordered by my doctor for a month. I payed extreme close attention to everything I ate. I did all the right things with fiber and Guess what? I had a “flare up” 4 weeks later!

So I go to the Doctor again, I get the usual antibiotics prescribed, she tells me to stay away from physical activity, and I'm off and on my way.

Here is where it gets interesting... My Father came to visit and spend the night at my house. I only get to see him once or twice a year so I was excited but I was in pain and in the middle of this “flare up”. My yard needed cutting badly, and I know when Dad visits, Cuba Libres are going to be on the menu! So I decided to go against everything the Doc said and was determined to have fun. After verifying with the Pharmacist I would have to wait 2 full Days after drinking alcohol to take my antibiotics, I spent 2 hours in the blazing sun working on my yard, mowing and weed eater and all. Oh yeah I almost forgot....I made a big 92 proof rum and coke to drink before starting the “physical activity”. Two rum and cokes later, Dad shows up. We enjoyed the time together, we joked, reminisced, and he played a lot with his Grand Daughter. All the while, the rum and cokes were being poured one after another. Later we get hungry and decide to go out to eat. I ordered food that I have been craving for the past month but was not on my food “list” or special “diet plan” and per Doctors orders stayed away from. After all this, a strange thing happened. The “flare up” and the pain went away! I was fully expecting to wake up the next day in bad shape due to my neglect but instead I felt better than I have the past month! No pain at all and no more “flare up”, and I haven't taken one antibiotic!

Am I just lucky? Does Rum have some secret hidden healing powers? Lol Coincidence? I have know idea. There is no reason why I should feel so great today. In fact I should be worse!

OK, “It's 5 O'clock Somewhere” so I am on rum and coke number 2 and writing this blog and feeling just fine. No symptoms. HAHAHAHAH

I'm not telling you people out there with Diverticulitis to do anything against doctors orders at all, or to go out and do what I did. In fact, if a doctor reads this blog, I will probably catch a bunch of grief over it. I'm just sharing MY story.

Maybe it was my mindset. I was having fun and talking a lot about the “Old Days”. When I was growing up in Key West it was very rare that I would get sick. Maybe there was something magical about the island. I'm sure I did get sick as a kid but I can't remember one time I had to go to the hospital when I was young for anything serious. In the Old Days if we were sick, it seemed like no matter what it was, we had to take a few tablespoons of some nasty Castor Oil, then we would go snorkeling and catch a few crawfish and spear a couple grouper for dinner and everything was all better.

So for me....to heck with rest and special diets and this and that. I will still kinda watch what I eat because there is no way around it, but I'm getting exercise and physical activity in whenever I can and I will keep the islands in my thoughts like they always are and say to everyone SALUTE and have a Cuba Libre once in a while....

Why Are We So Obsessed with other people

2011-05-07T14:00:00.002-04:00

At any given time or day the top trending stuff is other people, usually celebrities. I just don't get it. Are our lives that boring that we feel a need to keep up on celebrities lives? Do we have nothing else to do but pop up our favorite search engine and read about other people's personal lives for endless hours? What could you be doing instead with all that wasted time? Maybe some important errands? Some family time? Exercise? Some business? Something fun, like outdoors? There is a whole world outside of TV, video games, and Internet people! Even just some much needed quiet downtime with no thoughts, just relaxing? We could all use that!

Personally I don't care what the Housewives of Whatever City are doing, or who is adopting kids, or who is getting married or breaking up. I'm not interested in what's going on in all the fake “reality” shows. I don't know these people, they don't exist in my real life. I think the whole concept of sticking cameras everywhere in famous peoples homes and televising everything going on in there lives is just wasteful. It's not real anyway. Don't you think these people would do or say things differently if there were no cameras there?

I also don't really care what celebrities are wearing.

Don't get me wrong, I like fashion and high end stuff when I can afford it, but I wear what I like because “I” like it, not because some famous person is wearing it. I wear prescription glasses. I went through the whole trial and error of the cheap stuff off the racks, then the cheap stuff from the real prescription stores. They were all crap and always breaking very easily. So I had to grit my teeth and shell out the big bucks for the better high end glasses. Now I own two very expensive "designer" prescription glasses and they are so much better and durable and come with warranties.

It's the same thing with clothes. I can find the same pair of cargo shorts that look almost exactly like the high end ones over at some Super Store for a lot less, but they just don't hold up or last. So again, I grit my teeth and head to the high end stuff to grab me a pair that fit better and last longer.

For cyclists, it's like comparing a Trek to a Huffy (my first bike was a Huffy by the way), but I'm not going run out and buy a certain bike just because Lance Armstrong rides one. So I get it...I'm just not obsessed with it!

So when you're wasting those hours away reading or watching something about someone you will probably never even meet and what is going on in their lives. Think about what else you can do. What are other people doing right now? How could I spend my time better? If you are still obsessed and just can't stop, think of this. There are things out there called recorders. DVR's, TIVO's, DVD recorders, heck even VCR’s. Record your obsessions and after all the more important or fun stuff is over, you can read or watch that stuff while everyone else in the real world is sleeping...

Awwww Man, one of MY obsessions is on TV right now. The Tampa Bay Rays! But this is one of my only days off with my daughter, so I think I will record the game, take out my Trek and daughters bike and get some much needed exercise and go for a Daddy- Daughter ride....that's much more important! I can watch the game later.....

Do You Sleep With A Fan On At Night

2011-04-27T11:16:00.000-04:00

I have tried and tried to find the percentage difference between men and women that like to sleep with a fan on at night and I just can't find any research on it. I personally cannot sleep without the fan breeze blowing in my face! For me, the more fans the better! Maybe it's from growing up in Key West back when that was all we had to cool us off at night were and open window with the ocean breeze and a fan.
The comments all over the internet seem to be 50/50. Heck if I travel, I will bring one of those tiny desktop clip on fans just to get my breeze! I have been asking around to all my friends and again, I'm getting 50/50 answers. I didn't realize there so many fan lovers out there. There are different reasons also. Some like the sound, some the breeze, etc.
I also personally know the fan on at night can start an argument every time!
How many people out there started dating someone they REALLY liked and then found out they either sleep with or without one and that was the relationship killer? I think it would be funny to know!

Weed: Sin or Savior?

2011-04-26T01:10:00.000-04:00

My last Blog was about a highly debated Issue which was about the Year 2012 and the” End Of the World”, and I only wrote about it because I received a lot of inquiries on ASKBEIRO.COM. I don’t usually like to write too much on long term, highly debated issues, but now I'm getting a bunch of people asking me where I stand on Weed, Pot, Marijuana., whatever you wanna call it. I know a million names for it but who the heck wants to go through them all?
Have I tried it? Yes, many years ago. Do I still smoke? NO.
Mostly because it's ILLEGAL and I could lose my job over it! Now, if it were LEGAL and I was home, and knew I had a full box of Frosted Flakes in the kitchen I might just take a hit if a friend I had over once every few months offered it to me. LMAO
Seriously, I have a close friend that has a young teenager that thinks it's just “cool” but hasn't officially tried it yet, and I think that is a problem. This friend has this teenager under control though and is doing what it takes to make sure.
Adults? Different story. If you are old enough to go to the club and LEGALLY do shots and drink yourself into an unconscious state, then take a taxi home, there is a problem on why a naturally grown plant that has been smoked for hundreds of years is illegal. Millions of dollars spent searching for pot crops, and all these dumb ass agents dressed up like Mercenaries going deep into the woods to chop down pot plants. Guys, go bust some Meth Labs or something.
If it was legal and offered at the liquor stores right next to the 40's what would you prefer? That someone grabs a couple 40's and drives home drunk and maybe something terrible happens, or maybe they buy a joint, go home and eat the hell out of the refrigerator and go to sleep? You might get stuck driving behind them on the way home complaining they are driving to slow.
When was the last time you picked up the paper and read about people dying in a car accident and the driver was DWS (Driving While Stoned)?
You can research the CDC (Center For Disease Control) and good luck finding ONE pot related death. But you sure as heck will find a lot of other drug related deaths, and almost ALL of them are MAN MADE!
There are years and years of debate over legalizing it or not, and it is ridiculous. "Tax it", "it will settle the deficit", "More empty space for real criminals if you empty the Jails and prisons of pot smokers", etc.

Here is a quote from some pissed off jerk from 2009: "According to studies, the number of children and teenagers in treatment for marijuana dependence and abuse has increased 142% since 1992".
What this Ass did not further research is the the increase was for abuse, not "dependence". There is a difference between a teenager that thinks it's "cool" and tries it or sells it (abuse), and a teenager that smokes daily and is dependent on it!
Do your own research, there is plenty out there. Check out the big LEGIT Medical facilities. The answers will mostly be the same. "For most people, no, marijuana is not addictive. The vast majority of pot smokers never become addicted. But just because it rarely happens, doesn't mean it never happens".
The same goes for alcohol and a bunch of other drugs.
Man, this is getting too long.
I mentioned Savior in the Blog title. We all know the medicinal benefits of marijuana. To a lot of people it is a Savior. Again, do your own research. There are plenty medical FACTS on it's healing properties out there. I personally know people that are prescribed pot for various reasons and it tremendously helps their ailments. You wanna argue with me on all this? Then that's what I'm all about. If I'm wrong I can man up and admit it, but you better come with some really good facts, not some dumb ass opinions.
Bottom Line. I'm not a Doctor and I can't give official medical facts on the issue. I don't recommend or condone pot smoking and I also don't give a crap if someone I know does. I will do my best to teach my child what is right and what is wrong and all I can do then is pray.
I know people from all walks of life that smoke and function perfectly. From manual laborers to law enforcement and Judges! Not to mention all the famous people we all hear about on TV that admit to pot smoking and we all still love to watch them in whatever they do.
Hypocrisy just might be my next Blog........

Life... What's Real

2011-04-23T21:00:00.000-04:00

Life........What's Real? Get hooked up to a bunch a crap for a few days at a hospital and not be able to go home and all of a sudden the simple things that seemed unimportant becomes very important. Music, videos, flower seeds you planted, playing ball with your child, a flea on your dog, all of a sudden everything so small seems so big and important.
I think Doctors are over rated. Don't get me wrong, doctors know their stuff. But back in the day...we didn't go to doctors. We had a simple remedy for everything. Lucky or not, it seemed to work. In my Family, my Grandmother would go out to the garden and make up some stuff that tasted like crap but worked!
I think music is the key. Believe it or not, if you search hard enough, there is someone out there that has a song about your problem. Maybe it's not the perfect solution to yours, but I bet it's close.
We all want to make a difference. At least I like to think so. R. Kelly has received a lot of grief over the years, and he is not my favorite artist, but watch his video......http://vevo.ly/fh9RXm It really made me think that if you try hard enough, you can make a difference.
Dreams are not always just dreams. Sometimes they become reality. They do not have to be big dreams, maybe just small ones. This goes against my deep belief that a dream is easily reached by rich people but not by normal people, but, after watching the video which is kinda deep and unrealistic in general, It makes me believe dreams can be reached, because dreams are big or small, depending on the person.
If you want to make a difference, you can. Big or small, the difference is always BIG. Because of what t means to someone else. What is smalll to you may be BIG to someone else.
This blog is a bit more on the emotional side than I am used to, but I just spent a few days in the hospital AND I MISSED MY DAUGHTER AND ALL THE "SIMPLE" things more than anyone can imagine.
AllI can say is be happy with who you are. We all could be in better shape, maybe be a bit better at whatever, just be a great parent if you have children, work your ass off if you live paycheck to paycheck,
I'm there with you. Be thankful for that roof over your head, and the food in the fridge. The great stuff will come later...you just have to know when it comes....

Dec 21st or 23rd 2012, Fact or Fiction?

2011-04-22T00:31:00.000-04:00

This one drives me nuts. Should I start saving for a Bunker 5 miles deep under the ground? Or does it matter? or just a waste of time? The Tsunami's are supposed to cover the mountains, so high ground wont work either.
Everyone, well not EVERYONE, is believing the Mayan Calender is the end for all of us. Yes the Mayans are real people, yes they have this dang calender. I just watched a show on TV about these cave climbers that went into the deepest Mayan Cave ever known or explored. They got there and it was nothing but deep mud like quick sand. But maybe it was something spiritual to the Mayans down there back in the day? It sure wasn't spiritual to the the cave climbers. It got very technical instead when their gear malfunctioned.
Personally I think it was cool, but a waste of time. The only wild thing of it all was these cave explorers did it with all the high tech gear available and had major issues getting there, including an injured climber and the Mayans did it back in the day barefoot with no fancy gear.
I'm kind of in the middle of it all and trying to keep a positive belief of it all. I think it will be the end of the calendar and the beginning of a new one with no disaster at all.
The talk of a total spiritual change? Doubt it. Too many different spiritual beliefs across this earth. This world cant agree on the smallest of beliefs much less agree on one single spiritual belief.
We need to consider the most credible interpretations of the information we do possess on the Mayan works. On that note, who is credible? The Spiritualist? The Scientists? Anyone?
This is a very heavily debated issue and date. Where do you stand? What do you believe?
If you think we are all doomed you can go to http://www.instituteforhumancontinuity.org/ and register for the lottery for your chance for survival!
Me? I'm gonna ask Snopes if this is real or not cause Snopes knows all!

NFL LOCKOUT? MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!

2011-04-14T14:20:00.001-04:00

This day and age it's all about money. Kinda sad. We could all use more money. Well, most of us anyway.
This NFL Lockout is making me crazy! All these guys in fancy suits sitting around arguing over billions of dollars. That's right, I said BILLIONS of dollars! Everyone in this freaking debacle is rich or close to it! Hell, I worry about if I have enough sick time to take off at work when I catch a bad flu and these guys are arguing over whether they are going to be rich or richer? I know there is a little more to it than that, but c'mon guys. Take your millions or billions, be glad you get that much, and lets play some damn football. It's all the little people that are going to suffer the most!
I bet I could walk my ass into one meeting in my cargo shorts, t shirt, sandals, a LandShark Beer....can I say LandShark? Hell, it's my Blog, I say what I want till someone tells me I can't, then have this agreement done in no time. Do I sound "cocky"? I'm not. To me it's just a bunch of used car salesman trying to close a deal and they can't, so they do what people in the car sales business do, it's called a "TURN OVER". Which brings in the supposedly better "closer" sales manager and he tries to close the deal. They just don't have a good closer! In this case I suppose the closer would be a lawyer or lawyers.
I wonder how many players would retire or quit if all of a sudden they were not making millions of dollars? and I mean in all sports. How many owners do you think would sell their teams if they were not making billions? What if the sport was played for the sport? Played for the competition? By players that hate losing more than they like winning? Owned by Owners that Love the game just as much?

What if professional athletes knew coming out of college they were going to max out at a certain amount of money like a regular job? That they had to earn their raises like a regular job? That no matter how good they are, they will never make more than a certain amount of money, no matter who they are? Would they still want to play if there were no multi million dollar signing bonus in their future? Or would they go work in whatever degree they acquired while in College? I wonder.

My mind is reeling right now of players from not that long ago that seemed to play football because they LOVED it. I'm not talking about these sissy's that run out of bounds to avoid a hit and worry about their contract. I mean players that would hit you hard for an extra yard or even harder to stop you from that extra yard!
I'm a Dolphins fan so the first person that comes to mind is Larry Csonka. Nothing seemed to stop this man. When he ran the ball he LOOKED for someone to hit as he ran! Hell, I think he ran better when he was bouncing off of people! You could just see it in his face and how he played the game, he loved football. A few more players that come to mind: Jack Lambert, Ronnie Lott, John Lynch, Ottis Anderson, Dwight Stephenson, Lawrence Taylor, Randy White. I could go on and on.

Lets pretend for a minute that Football started all over. OMG, what will I do for my Fantasy draft? The world wide depression of missing all of our famous rich players would be dramatic! Physciatrist would be reeling in the bucks! Bars would have to cut beer prices in half to draw in customers. It would be world disaster!
Then some unknown guys or women, ballers, hitters, fighters, competitors..would step in. Really wanting to play the game. Wait a minute.....these guys/women are pretty good. Of course I have to now give a shout out to all the Ladies playing their hearts out in the LFL! OK, that's out of the way.
Hey, these unknown players have some real talent. Wow, who would have thunk it? Lets go get season tickets before the prices go up!
I have my favorite players in a lot of Leagues, and I would hate to see them leave but I have also seen a LOT of very talented players in several different sports that for one reason or another never get their chance in the "Bigs". I have seen street ballers on basketball courts that could make Kobe look stupid. The same is true in a lot of other sports.
So please guys, end this ridiculous Lockout talk, be happy with where you are, and lets move on for the small people and the fans. Don't worry, all of you will still be pimpin your big ass houses and collection of cars....and we will be wearing all our game day gear, grilling, and rooting you on!!!!

One dead, two others shot during robbery attempt at Clearwater home

2011-04-13T22:26:00.000-04:00

http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/crime/one-dead-two-others-shot-during-robbery-attempt-at-clearwater-home/1163451

This is the stuff that gets under my skin. Almost this entire article was about the parties and how "rowdy" the house is. Who cares?!! Bitching neighbors and complaining makes a robbery less meaningful? Complain about that crap to the right people and do me a favor writers, stop downplaying what actually happened here. This was an ARMED ROBBERY ATTEMPT! The shooting may be related to a party or something else....whatever, it does not excuse an ARMED ROBBERY ATTEMPT. Just because they have parties and don't pick up after those parties does not mean it's OK to Rob the place!

No mention if the person that killed the robber was licensed to carry or not. He must have been, or that would be all over the article I would hope. The point here is, someone broke into a residence in an attempt to rob said residence. They were ARMED. So was an occupant of the home and they got shot. Guess what? I don't feel sorry for the robbers one bit. I might feel a little sorry for the reason this person somewhere in his life, was brought up to the point that he was willing to commit this crime, but they knew what they were doing the second they stepped into that home.

All the laws and changes involving gun control are making me dizzy. If that one occupant in that home was not armed and an unarmed person confronted one of the armed robbers, then an innocent non law breaking citizen could have been killed instead!

"But he was making a lot of noise during a party the night before and left a beer bottle in my yard"......ARGHHHHH

You crooks and robbers out there are going to realize soon, unless you're too dumb like these guys, that people are protecting themselves more and more, and if you go into someones home you better think twice whether it's worth the risk!

Now the LEGAL concealed weapon holders in Florida are going through another battle on another changing gun law. Check out the link and email the people listed if you care.

What is so ridiculous is getting a gun is easier for the common criminal than it is for a non criminal. I am legally licensed to carry and yes I have guns. I go to the range with my buddies and I enjoy the sport of shooting. I respect the weapons and understand the weapons. I also take extreme care to abide by the law with them. I also know how to protect my home from any threats, just in case any "robbers" were getting any dumb ideas!

I say leave the law abiding citizens that are protecting themselves alone and lets go after the criminals!

There seems to have been a bit more stories just like this one recently across the US. It also seems that when the stories are covered, the coverage is all about how sad the dead criminals family are, or what a tragedy the criminal had to die. What about the victims? What about the laws that were broken? The victim was actually able to save himself or herself and the story turns to that sad dead criminal? The homeowner survived and the robber is dead so lets write about the robber? Does anyone think that the person that had to defend themselves in fear for their life might have issues for the rest of their life just for the trauma of doing what they had to do to survive?

It's sad when ANYONE dies, but you know what? Maybe, just maybe, you should not break into someones home armed or not? Just a suggestion....

Hospital Nightmare

2011-04-12T17:39:00.000-04:00

I just spent 3 miserable days in the hospital. So I have been out of the loop a bit. However, I learned some very valuable and irritating lessons while there. So now I have something that pisses me off enough to write about it, even though I feel like crap.
First off, I have very good health Insurance. I pay out the wazoo for it, so I should know! On day three I was all but thrown out of the hospital with a bunch of lies and a Doctor that I felt could care less about my well being.
For my followers, and the people that read my long blogs, you may understand quite a bit of what type of a person I am. I can hang pretty much with any one I want and fit right in. One thing I am not though, is stupid. I am a smart, articulate (when I want to be) man. I had my laptop in my hospital bed and was researching my diagnosis the entire time. So needless to say, I was well versed on it. It all had to do with my diet. Which turns out is a pretty good diet that just needed a few changes. But boy was I in a lot of pain! For those that care to know it is diverticulitis.
I won't mention the Hospital because I don't want people to think the place is all bad. The entire staff were very nice to me with the exception of the most important person during my stay...my actual Doctor. That Wench was mean and condescending from the start. I mean what's wrong with you Doctors these days? This is not the first time I have been treated this way simply because I researched and knew a lot of what was going on with me before I go to the Doctor. I mean, are Doctors intimidated? Pissed off because you went to so many years of school and I happen to know more than the average person when I get there? Or do you think I'm a know it all? Sorry if I like to know what's going on with me before I waste a trip to the hospital! jeez There is a lot of info out there in these Internet days!
I call the disease the "Diver" for short. So besides the Diver a had a few other things I wanted the doctor to check out. I know for a fact my nurse let her know about them but the Doc never even asked about them, much less care.
I am great at reading people as soon as I meet them and I could tell within the first few seconds of meeting this doctor that she did not like me or her job or whatever for some reason. In 3 days I saw her maybe a total of 10 minutes and those 10 minutes seemed like an eternity, and it took all of my self control not to go off and ask what her problem was. So many rude comments and condescending hints that is was unbearable. I wanted to smack her in the face with my IV bag! Of course I thought better of it.
On day three, my Primary Care doctor is trying very hard to get in touch with this attending Doctor. She had some requests and recommendations. After I annoyed all the right people enough, here comes the Wench. Pissed off and ready to send me home she says. I asked her to please touch base with my Primary Care Doc, so she left and called her. In the meantime, a few SECONDS later, a Case Manager comes to my room and advises me that my Insurance company says I have to leave and this will be my last day there.
I can't prove it, but I know damn well the attending Doc had something to do with this. I immediately call the Insurance Company and find out this is all a LIE! In fact my Insurance Company says I'm in good standings and can stay as long as needed and they have NOT been contacted by this hospital!
I find out later that the hospital apparently has a "book" that they go by that gives a general description of what insurance companies will and will not pay for and they decided that my insurance company "might" not pay for a longer stay. Guess work from a book? are you kidding me? You mean to tell me your are playing around with my disease and pain because a "book" says it "might" not be covered? Then this Bitch of a Case Manager (I say bitch because maybe she had a bad day...not my problem) says she never said that about the insurance. I look her straight in her eyes with the Managers next to her and say"don't you dare call me a liar. Those were your exact words which is why I immediately called my insurance". She shut up quick.
Now I'm really pissed! I asked for every ones BOSS to be in my room and said "I MEAN NOW"! All of a sudden I have Managers standing in my room and I am letting them all have it. Maybe some poor old person that doesn't know any better would have said OK and just left, but not me. Now everyone is really taking back their words. I get the name and number of the person in charge of the entire hospital and will be following up with him after this blog entry.
So, 3 days of diet advice from the entire staff at the hospital and several close friends with the exact same problem, and still in a lot of pain. You would think I would have been released with at least a diet plan or recommendation or something right? or even some pain meds right? Noooomeds, and no restrictions at all, even though I was straining just to lift my laptop bag. So again, I asked for the Nurse Manager to document this and all of a sudden I'm getting a script for pain! Wow, funny how that works. Then I ask about the diet. They actually told me to google it! I was at a loss for words for once!
Disgrace is the word that comes to mind here. There are a lot of people out there that are not as fortunate as I am to have Insurance like me and I get treated this way? I was annoyed at all the people in admitting that were being given a hard time because of no insurance and how long they were delaying my treatment. NOW, I feel sorry for those people. NOW I understand.
All I can say is this people. When you are in a hospital, you are the CEO of your body. You take charge. Don't just do what you are told. If you feel you need a CAT Scan demand it, if you feel like you need ANYTHING at all DEMAND it. If you hurt, tell them. Do some research if you have the chance on what you have. Don't try to be a "know it all", you don't wanna piss off the Doctors, but definitely ask for whatever you feel you need because they will not just be offering it to you.
It seems to me costs are being cut everywhere at the patients expense, which is just my opinion, but the hospital had no problem charging my wife $59,000 just for a bed and a room (not including treatment) during a 9 day stay for her at a different hospital recently. Hell, a badasss vacation in Tahiti doesn't cost that much!
Also, not just Doctors. Anyone that deals with the public. If you don't like what you are doing or just don't care...please quit. Don't take it out on us, the customers. Especially the people that don't know any better! Sooner or later someone is going to stand up and make a big deal of it all and it isn't going to be pretty....

"Eat Right, Exercise, Die Anyway".....

2011-03-31T02:57:00.001-04:00

One of my favorite T shirts I saw in Key West said "Eat Right, Exercise, Die Anyway".....

I eat pretty healthy only because the chips happens to fall that way. I grill most of my food so that fat drips away for all you fat watchers (not that I care) I love the fat, especially the skin on whatever! I just like grilled food over oven food. I love seafood and it just so happens most seafood is good for you. I grew up on roast Pork, seafood, and rice and beans.

I have always been a good cook because I learned from my Mother and Grandmother. My Grandmother Blanca Avael (God bless her Soul) used to cook at a restaurant in Key West named "The Fourth Of July". Most Conchs will remember this place. There used to be lines waiting all the way down the street and around the block just to get some of her food.

At her home she had three Bustelo cans full of lard.Yes LARD. One for fish, one for chicken, and one for beef. Yes she re-used this lard over and over. She also had three different cast iron skillets to match the lard. I still remember the backwards box fan in the window sill to blow the smoke out when she was cooking. It used to bring the neighbors running over! She made the best of whatever she was cooking. I miss her so much. Every time I cook something, I think of her.

We grew up on this supposedly unhealthy food but lived pretty long lives. My Grandfather Julio Avael into his 90's. My Uncle Raul smoked 1-2 packs of unfiltered cigs per day and ate the same food. He also lived a long life.

Even today, I have family members in the medical field that believe without a doubt, what you eat, can kill you. Sorry, I don't believe it. I think it's how you grow up and how you live. I don't mean what you eat or how you exercise. I mean HOW YOU LIVE. Stressful life? early death in my opinion. Get rid of that stress and laugh more and you will live longer. Google it for crying out loud, if you don't believe me.

I also believe it's WHERE you live. My Family for the most part grew up in Key West. An Island life that was laid back and easy going. Everyone worked hard and pitched in, and at the end of the day, Family is what mattered. Not style, or fashion, or TV, or Money. We always had enough and we all always shared. There was something about catching all that seafood yourself and eating it fresh, that just made it all the better. I remember riding my bicycle with a mask, fins, snorkel, and a spear. I would catch dinner only a few yards away from the beach, in a matter of minutes. I miss that sand so much.
Conch Shells that you can't even touch these days? Hell, I stepped on more than I could eat right off the beach. Lobster that you all pay so much money for? I ate so much of it for free to make you jealous.

We also ate a lot of fruit. Not from the grocery stores either. Straight from the trees. Fresh picked mangoes hanging over my Grandmothers fence from the neighbors yard daily. Coconuts straight from the trees, simply because it was fun to climb the trees and they were delicious, tamarinds right off of her back yard tree, and my favorite one, also from the trees in her yard......Mamoncillos. Again, if you don't know what they are...Google them. Conchs know, Sweet and delicious.
I just relived a great part of my growing up, and I understand the style is not for everyone. Especially athletes that require "special" diets. All I'm saying is relax people and eat what you like, laugh more, and find a way to rid yourself of useless stress. Exercise is still important. I just used to get it diving, spearfishing, and climbing coconut trees!

Change your life BS re-posted by REQUEST!

2011-03-30T02:38:00.002-04:00

I am so sick of all the damn inspirational quotes. Crap to do if your husband is an asshole, or your wife is an asshole. What to do if you're not happy with your life. BS quotes about stuff that only happens in the movies. Every day is an opportunity for change. Crap about Love, relationships, therapy, etc.
How to get rich walking around the mall working from your cell phone while you buy a bunch of Crap you don't need. If there were any real way to make money this way the mall would not be full of broke ass people looking for sales. Free this and Free that. There is nothing free in this world, remember that quote? Some people get lucky and hit it, but reality is reality. If anyone out there can prove me wrong I challenge you right now, and don't send me some get rich quick spam Crap!
Most of you are not going to wake your asses up tomorrow and say "you know what, that quote from the Internet changed me". I'm starting a new life today....Bull Shit. You have a job to get to, bills to pay, maybe kids to take care of. You're not gonna just wake up and start making millions and working from a netbook on some damn yacht.
"Money is the root of all evil"......another famous BS quote. What's evil about money? Maybe if you are some flaunt your money asshole that thinks you are better than everyone else because of your money. Reality is, if you don't have the skills to make the millions, you most likely never will. Try thinking about all the problems you have going in your life right now. I bet someway, somehow, if you had a little more money, those problems would go away. At least some, if not most of them.
Happiness? I know I am happy with my little family, me and my beautiful daughter. The wife? Well that's not so great, but that's a whole other story. We don't have all the riches but I know damn well if we did, we would be happier, giving, caring people. Not Evil People. I also know I will never stop trying to do better for my daughter.
There is nothing wrong with dreaming and for some people, dreams do come true. I'm just tired of hearing it over and over. Especially from rich ass people that did have their dreams come true. I don't hear too many poor people making life inspiring quotes.
So if you are going to quote something or someone, make sure there is some reality in it. Changing my diet or religion or beliefs overnight is not going to make a difference. Change takes time and devotion. So stop trying to make it seem like it will happen overnight!
The sex tips are the most hilarious. Yes believe it or not, I am one of those romantic types. I fell in Love with my wife because of who she was on the inside, not on the outside, BUT, I also think couples need to be compatible in all areas where it counts! For those of you that have decided to wait till after marriage, I respect your decision. All I can say is I wish you well...Sex tips are fine, I enjoy reading them from some of my followers, just keep it real. Enough with the fake Crap again that only happens in movies. I would love to take a limo ride to my private jet and fly away to San Francisco for the night, just to see the Opera, like Richard Gere did in "Pretty Woman". But here comes the reality check again..............Most of us are not that wealthy!
We all have our issues and hardships. Depending on who you are they are all different but in some way, they are the same. They are issues or problems none the less. All we can do is try to work together and make it through.
Before I go, I want to put some REALITY quotes from one of my favorite comedians that kept it real. God Bless George Carlin.
"Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever."

"Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side."

"Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn’t cost a cent."

"Remember, to say, “I love you” to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you."

KEEP IT REAL PEOPLE......

My Cuban Heritage: Armando Avael next to Desi Arnaz

2011-03-27T02:04:00.002-04:00

This is my Great uncle Armando Avael in the1930's right after they left Cuba and started a band, next to Desi Arnaz way before "I Love Lucy" when they started a band in Key West. As Tedd Webb said it, "Cuban Royalty"!

LOL, OMG, FYI Added to Online Oxford English Dictionary!

2011-03-27T01:32:00.008-04:00

This just makes me crazy! I mean really? This has to be a joke right? No it's not. In fact it's one of the top 10 trending topics on yahoo. A quote from the yahoo link was "Some non-techie words also made the cut, for better or worse, including: couch surfing; muffin top; la-la land; rub-a-dub; taquito; and wassup."
What's next? Fupa? cutting the cheese? plumbers crack? camel toe? Don't bother checking----they are not in there! "LOL"
I mean really, when I think of the Oxford English Dictionary, I think of Oxford, a highly respected University. and I think of English, as in the English language. I am Latin so I kind of get adding taquito, because burrito and taco are in there, but if you're gonna start adding all these Spanish words, why not go all out and include frijoles negros? or cafe con leche instead of just "cafe'? What about "Pan"? Oxford Dictionary says it has several meanings. The most common, in English of course is "…a container made of metal and used for cooking food in…"
For the taquito, burrito, and taco people it just means BREAD, and don't EVEN get me started on all the Spanish slang!
In Key West where I am from, we even have our own version of Spanish and slang words. Only "Conchs" know what I mean... Like we have our own Conch word called Boongie..It is also a Bahamian word that most most Conchs probably didn't even know...
All these new words or terms are really just slang or short cuts, and to be honest, they are just proving our laziness. Who really wants to text "laugh out loud"? I get that. I abbreviate my texts every day. But adding it to the English dictionary it just too much in my opinion.
This all reminds me of the old days when my family lived in a 3 story house and my bedroom was on the 3rd floor. I would hear my Dad yelling my name like he needed me for something important. I would run down all those flights of stairs and with a beating heart ask Dad what's up? All he wanted was for me to change the channel on the Damn TV! There were no remotes back then. I was the remote. Keep in mind, his Lazy Boy chair was MAYBE 10 feet away from the TV! Now THAT is LAZY!
Even today, if you lose your remote for your TV you will spend hours looking for it before you will walk over to the TV and change the channel! I know because I work for the Cable Company and people DEMAND we come to their home immediately if the remote is not working properly! They cant even wait one day to get it fixed!
I disagree with adding all these "internet" terms to the dictionary. I know computers and technology are our future. My daughter could navigate a laptop and type her name way before she could even write it. But that doesn't make it right. What is she gonna do when she has to sign a check or her name on a document? The internet has pretty much taken over everything. We trust someone named Snopes to tell us the truth on every rumor, search engines are believed without any doubt.
In the old days we found out what was real by going where we needed to go and learning while we were there. Not from a PC in our house. Lets not let the internet even take over the sacred dictionary! If you don't know all the abbreviations they are easy to find elsewhere. Especially the ones our kids use to try being slick and secret from us parents! Like "PIR", "Parent In Room". Those Little bastards!

CHECK OUT THIS HOTTIE! Lingerie Football League! #LFL #Hot Chicks!

2011-03-22T20:30:00.003-04:00

First off, most, if not all, of the women in the LFL ARE Hotties, but that does not equate to sissy's, and I have written about the LFL on my Blog before. I am bound and determined to get the word out about this awesome league! I received a lot of questions and comments about it (although not on my freaking Blog). Let me make one thing clear.....AGAIN. They are for real!
Is there a lot of "eye candy" for "every one" to see? Yes, but do not let that distract you from the reality that these women are for REAL. They take the game serious and they go all out, and there are no holds barred on the field. There are no runway models in Lingerie. Just fit, BAD ASS WOMEN, kicking ass in a fast paced game of football with some real exciting action and hits!
I received permission from my new hero of the LFL to show the photo of what happened to her foot after a bunch of silly little ladies playing a game of football in lingerie. TOTALLY kidding there! Her name is Carie and she plays for the Tampa Breeze. Trust me, she did not receive this injury while wearing high heels in a game or during some photo shoot.
Her number is 17, which she mentioned someone else might be wearing this year and I think is total BS! That is HER number and should stay that way. If someone on the Breeze is even offered that number I would turn it down because Carie will be back!
The injury pic you all see instead of a HOTTIE in lingerie was just to prove these ladies are for real! You can search engine a lot of "hot pics" of LFL players if you want.
She will have to sit out a year and rehab just like some of our favorite NFL players! It sucks when your number one pick in your Fantasy League goes down for the year doesn't it? Like Tom Brady did for me a few years ago.
So people. Check them out. Do some research. At least watch the video clips from http://www.lflus.com/. Get some tickets, bring some friends, and have some fun! I'll bet after one game you will believe!

No Woman No Cry Lyrics:

"Oba, ob-serving the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have had, oh good friends we've lost along the way
In this bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say

No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Oh my Little sister, don't she'd no tears
No woman, no cry

Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light
Log wood burnin' through the night
Then we would cook corn meal porridge
Of which I'll share with you

My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone...

Everything's gonna be alright"

Scorpio Horoscopes

(Oct 23 - Nov 21)

For the Week of Mar 21st, 2011 -- You have the unique ability to maintain emotional control without coming across as harsh or rigid this weekend. This combination of toughness and tenderness is perfect for discussing delicate personal issues. But it's also excellent for showing the full range of your complex personality which can run the gamut from strength to sentimentality.

This about sums it up. Me (a Scorpio) will do anything to help someone in need if I can, and can be very sentimental, but cross me, or piss me off, or try messing with my friends or Family, which are one in the same, and you do not want to see my other side!

Time Away

2011-03-20T15:33:00.000-04:00

Such a beautiful day that I'm going to take some time away from all this electronic connection and spend some quality time with my daughter planting flowers. She is patiently waiting for me as I type this. lol
Thanks to all my followers for all the great comments and posts. I'll be back later.....Have a great afternoon everyone!

Lingerie Football League

2011-03-19T01:27:00.001-04:00

Just like me, most people that have never heard of, or watched the LFL or Lingerie Football League. Just the word Lingerie kinda throws off what this League is all about and may make you just skip the channel. Trust me, don't skip the channel, give it a look, and not for just 2 minutes. Watch the game people! If your girlfriend or wife or significant other gets pissed, ask THEM to watch the game for more than 2 minutes! Hell, it was my wife that got me to watch!

I watched as much as what was on TV last year and chose the 2 Florida teams as my favorites since I was born here.

Yes you will get more hot women in short shorts than your neck can take, and a lot of great butt shots, but once the shock and awe of the hot women ends and the game begins. You start to realize these women are for REAL! I mean they play the game HARD.

I have looked up some measurement stats of some of these women and even though size is not as important as technique (no pun intended), I would not want to go head to head with some of these women. They are not flimsy little runway models, They are ripped up athletes! The hits these women put on are incredible!

I'm 5'10 225lbs but outta shape. I will avoid the embarrassing result of a head to head challenge with one of these players. But I would love to see some cocky guy from the stands take one of them on. Which according to the Bleacherreport article (which if you are not following them, you should be!) http://bleacherreport.com/articles/307748-is-the-lingerie-football-league-lfl-worth-seeing-a-candid-review from back in 2009, is part of the half time show that is not shown on TV unfortunately. Simple physics might work for you if you out-weigh her by 125lbs, but I guarantee, you'll be faking the pain you feel as you hobble back to your beer drinking buddies and giving high fives just for falling down with such a hottie!

Some of the things I don't 100%, maybe 90% agree with from the Bleacherreport article is the "eye candy". Use any search engine and search for pics of the Olympic Beach Volleyball women, now there was a LOT of eye candy. These women wear helmets, shoulders pads (yes, above the tata's), knee pads and elbow pads, some wear gloves.

The hits are fierce! Nothing fake here. I have pics of a broken foot of one of my favorite payers that would make anyone cringe. But I have not asked her permission to let everyone see it. Also the "strip club" feel. That's gone in my opinion. Yes these women are hot and the meet and greets are packed full of photographers not just from Sports Channels, but in one year, the game has changed.

They are all competitors, not models, not sissy's.....hard ass competitors that want to win.

Attendance is low and I know it could be better if people start to see what the LFL is REALLY all about!

Another quote was it is "not NFL quality". Well in my opinion again, that depends on which NFL team you are watching. There was also a mention of a player almost losing her panties. Well, this happens in the NFL also. Check out the Huffingtonpost (another MUST follow) video http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/23/devin-hester-pants-video_n_367145.html.

I totally agree with Spike Rogan of Bleacherreport that the LFL "could draw a far bigger crowd if they played in an arena that is tailgating-friendly, which would increase the MALE attendance" , Great idea,especially if the LFL players were allowed to go out to meet the tailgater's.

Oh and bye the way, Some comments from some very close friends of mine that are not MEN, they LOVE the LFL! SO, The attracted audience is not just MEN, and it's not just a bunch of hotties off a runway prancing around in Lingerie, it's a real sport and everyone should check it out! Not just MALES! If you are into sports and looking for something new to turn to, tune into the LFL. Heck, go get some season tickets, you won't be disappointed!

Oh, Along with Spike Rogan, any LFL media outlet looking for a writer or promoter.....I'm a believer and available.

Traffic Jams

2011-03-17T23:08:00.001-04:00

There are only a few things in this world I can think of that I dislike more than traffic jams! It turns every day normal people into Monsters! They stress you out, especially if you're late getting somewhere. Hell, people that don't even curse start throwing out the "F" Bombs! Then there are the idiots that think cutting you off will get them to their destination faster. Then the salt in the wound, a guy on a bicycle goes zooming by you! with that damn grin on his face! ARGHHHH

Well, one day me and my therapist...my 4 year old daughter (she's 5 now), were stuck in a major traffic jam. I just said out loud "look at all this traffic"! My therapist...I mean my daughter, says "Daddy, it's not traffic. It's a car parade". I love parades! To this day, whenever I get stuck in traffic, I remember that it's a "Car Parade" and for some unexplainable reason I feel all better!

We do our best to teach our children everything. I guess sometimes THEY can teach us things.
