Ice Cream Falls From the Sky!

Payazaro — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 01:55:47 +0000

I’ve never met a kid that did not posses imagination. You can see it when they’re playing with toys, cow pies, empty boxes and anything else we adults throw into the trash. They really do remind us that one person’s trash is another kid’s never-ending fun and entertainment. My favorite is when kids go on [...]

How do YOU eat M&Ms?

La Güera — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 21:35:25 +0000

I think everyone has a way they eat M&Ms. Some grab a handful and stuff them all in their mouth at once, others first let them melt in their hands or eat them one by one. I had no idea my “method” of eating this delicious candy would get me in trouble with my now [...]

Litter and it Will Hurt

Payazaro — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 05:00:34 +0000

I’ve never considered myself a tree-hugger (but I might literally try it one day just for fun). However, I am socially aware of the damage we cause to our dear mother earth and it does bother me. With all the media coverage on large oil spills, natural disasters, corporate greed and their neglect of toxic [...]

Vagina What? Monologues.

Payazaro — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 01:15:42 +0000

“You gotta be kidding me…” That was my first reaction the first time I was exposed to a vagina monologue several years ago in the US. It was edgy, provocative and insightful. I couldn’t believe it. If it was liberating for me to hear them, I can’t imagine how liberating it must have been for Eve [...]

Importance of Stand Up Comedy

Payazaro — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 00:59:01 +0000

Laughter is a beautiful expression. It’s pretty addicting if you ask me. I’d rather have a twelve-pack of good jokes and laughter than a keg of the best beer this world has to offer. Yet, we have been socialized to laugh and joke at appropriate times and settings. Some cannot fathom the idea of joking [...]

Screwed Over By Parents

Payazaro — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 02:40:12 +0000

Everybody on this earth has a story of struggle to tell. Who gets to hear that story is what makes it special. Not everybody goes public about it and sometimes a person’s story never gets told, which is pretty unfortunate. Not too long ago I became acquainted with a 21 year-old who grew up in [...]

Bill Gates vs. Carlos Slim

Payazaro — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 07:49:35 +0000

When I was in the US, if the name Bill Gates came up in conversations, people tended to say positive things about him. I used to hear jokes in school about how Bill Gates was so rich that his house had its own zip code (which is not so funny when you realize it’s true!). [...]

Left Hangin’ on Facebook

Payazaro — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 21:03:20 +0000

OK, we’re all thinking it but nobody is saying it, so I will. If I ever write something on your Facebook wall and you don’t respond I will defriend you. No, that’s not “a little extreme”. Some people think that you’re not friends in real life if you’re not friends on Facebook, and my action [...]

Treat Your Goals Like Your “Bucket List”

Payazaro — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 05:58:14 +0000

What I love about life is that it always gives you opportunities to learn, grow, and challenge yourself on a daily basis. Those who say otherwise must be rich bastards. A big part of having a life is living it, and that means deliberately. How does one live life deliberately? Goals. It would be pretty cool [...]

Mexicans In Brazil, Don’t Cut Off Your Arms!

Payazaro — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 18:33:17 +0000

Good ol’ Billy Bob here has an interesting philosophy: If you play soccer, you’re going to hell. The logic of his assertions would have impressed me in elementary school, but you can’t fool me now BillyBobNeck! I don’t want to ruin the video for you, but all of his statements are instant one-liner classics [...]
