10.10.08Welcome To The Hotel Fundador, Boquete"So I was in this car with a crack dealer, right....Whoa. OK. I'll back up. It was 7:30 in the morning and some guy starts pounding on my sliding glass door. So I ask him 'Yeah?' You know, and he says, 'Man give me a ride to my car and I'll give you 10 bucks.' At the time I was hard up for cash so I'm like, 'Yeah dude, let's go!' Anyway, I lived in the ghetto and this guy lived deeper in the ghetto.

09.09.08“There Are a Lot of Mexicans in Panama!”Un Borrocho (drunkard) who didn't quite make it home. "There are a lot of Mexicans in Panama," I said, "A lot more than I expected." The fact I can even make this joke tells me a lot about myself. That I'm beyond witty? More like I'm not very cultured. This joke shows a lack of taste. It shows me that I continually don't expose myself to new cultures. So every practice, and worse, every person appears to be the same. And this runs to contrary to what I'd like to be about. One of my major goals is to be a citizen of the world. ...
