Beef27 comments on 24 to go........ciao Iraq

Bama, I was in Medellin from Afghanistan back in July and am wondering if you are my boy BamBam that was working with BW that I hung out with and met while there? are you the same bambam?

 

Beef27 comments on Defendant gets death in rape, slaying of Colombian teen

i like how they used to do it back in the day...... when the people took care of the business. anyway, as a Catholic myself, I am kind of against the death penalty but moreso because I think that person should spend a life of penance in misery. Now to me, that would be justice!!! Why end his pain on earth with what he has done? put him in a jail cell with lifers who will gangbang him and make them their slave. The family members have to suffer with their loss until they pass, so should that guy.

 

Beef27 comments on thief picks wrong victim

i posted off the first page of comments only to notice the many more comments after posting in response to Cayita. I'm more of a fighter myself, being a former Marine and currently Personal Security detail member in Afghanistan for diplomats. However, I am trained in living too and to judge the situation as such. Shit, your pride might hurt for awhile, but it ain't worth all the material things and money you have on yourself at that moment....and I consider myself a pretty tough guy still!! I'll just be a living one to enjoy another day, instead of dead. Still have my pride too, since I'll be a Marine 'til I do die. peace

 

Beef27 comments on thief picks wrong victim

cayita is the most controversial person on this site. i just don't get her. i see there is an undertone to her message that is positive, but the lady does not go about it in the right way. her first response was totally negative, and instead of stating..."hey, you guys this is a lucky guy as most people know you can and more than likely get stabbed or shot", she just goes off about gringo this and that. for someone that is not anti-gringo, in all of your posts, i have yet to see a positive thing towards gringos. i do have to say, you do make sense in your statements, but in a very negative way. Stopped being so pissed off all the time, it's bad for the heart. peace

 

Beef27 comments on Visiting Americans; Usually Leave Too Much Of a Tip So Stop It!

cayita surely is very confrontational from my observations in many of her posts. have to agree though with both sides on this. some situations it is right, some situations it shouldn't be done. I for sure do not want to pay extra when I do not have to, but also like to help those in need if I can afford to do so. peace

 

Beef27 comments on Gringo Iva...you like?

boars have tits to feed their young offspring. not necessarily directly useful to us, but in the end for those that eat wild boar, well they would all be dead without tetas to feed the kids. anyway, i agree and disagree with a lot that is said. You cannot generalize every "gringo" or should never do that with any culture as in this case saying tipping is flashing money. I have yet to go to Colombia, and am glad I read this post. I will know not to overtip, but how much is overtipping? what percentage do you pay in services? So say an ignorant gringo like me went to Colombia, and payed the standard 15-20% on a good service tip? This would be an insult? So what about that Colombian who comes to the USA, goes out and eats and receives good service, and tips $2 on a $45 meal? Would that be an insult? I think it is just ignorance until that person would learn this is how it is done in this country. Hell, I'm glad to tip less. More money for me to spend on other things! Plus, nor do I want prices going up on stuff just because ignorant people such as myself would be overtipping....not insulting Cayita. You're looking to deep I think. peace

 

Beef27 comments on 31 days left in Iraq

bamapits....email me Hey man, I'm a contractor in Afghanistan and going to Medellin for my first time in July. Will you still be there? hit me up on email at semperfitness at hotmail.com if so and we can hang. peace

 

Beef27 comments on Ban on coca products in Colombia follows Coca-Cola complaints

man it makes me sick that US companies are getting into other countries business like this. And I am an American and never used any drug in my life. These people have a legitimate use and history with this natural drug/remedy or whatever you may call it. They shouldn't be told what do with it because Coca Cola has no right. I'm sick of this crap that my government keeps getting into others peoples biz. I feel that if someone wants to do coke, and gets addicted, it's their problem and they have to pay for it. At most, control it and have a regulated amount to be grown annually and keep within those boundaries. Also, if they are drug addicts of any kind, they should have to pay for it out of pocket and any help should not be covered under health insurance. Everybody nowadays knows the negatives of using drugs, so it should be there ass paying. I should run for president man. Next, get out of Iraq and take care of my boys (I am a former Marine). Let the Islamic terrorist kill each other off. Then put up our borders and stop giving aid to all these other countries who are now against us. I consider Colombia a friend of the US, but the likes of France and others who only have cared for themselves, they get no support from me as President. ok, that was a bit off topic. peace

 

Beef27 comments on gyms in Medellin

hey el felizafortunado probably right my man about forgetting to workout, but, like everyone is saying I was thinking about the eye candy and a great place to meet some chicas! so i think I'll hit the gym a few times! then do some extra cardio in later on :)

 

Beef27 comments on gyms in Medellin

lots to choose didn't think there would be so many choices. thanks for all your input. peace

Beef27 comments on 1 way ticket from Colombia to US.....well kind of

cool well i'm buying a multi trip ticket seeing i will be flying from the US to Mexico to Colombia back to the US. I tried several ways to do it cheapest and this was by far the most cost efficient and actually the better flight schedule too. thanks!

 

Beef27 comments on Avoiding prepagos and meeting only "real" colombianas

Coffee Beaner..... I would like to talk to you offline jarhead and you don't have email turned on on this site. Please hit me up on my hotmail at semperfitness at hotmail.com Semper Fi, beef27

 

Beef27 comments on Avoiding prepagos and meeting only "real" colombianas

you are not raining on my parade Miguel as I have not invested a dime and only pondered the idea. I've thought about doing it in the states mainly, and it came across that colombia probably has a need for it too, however I did realize it wouldn't pay much and would be a flooded job market already. Plus I would have many obstacles to overcome being a non colombian citizen and all. I just have many thoughts about what to do with all this money I am saving for a future business endeavor. beef27

 

Beef27 comments on Avoiding prepagos and meeting only "real" colombianas

thanks bogjudge very sound advice. actually that is pretty much how I am with women or have been in the past. so much anticipation on this trip, i cannot wait. i'm sure if i meet a woman or not, i will enjoy it. beef27

 

Beef27 comments on Avoiding prepagos and meeting only "real" colombianas

no macho bullshit here Wastelandlive i was stating my "stats" to show I am not some old gross guy here and that I am very much a young active person and hopefully my money will not be what a paisa is after. i said the shaved head because that is what i have, and i'm not growing it out because it looks 100% better shaved! i am thinning on top. and i don't start fights, but i've ended some in the past when needed. however, i've walked away from situations while in foreign countries such as Russia and Korea where I knew it was a bad situation. and when I say I know security, I know how to avoid situations my friend. I absolutely know I am not bulletproof and am not thinking I am Rambo. I for one am actually living in the reality of shit people see on tv and have personal friends that have been killed, shot, ied'd, or nearly hit. so, hopefully that explains my comment in more detail because it seems you misinterpreted it a bit. other than that, you gave me some sound and friendly advice which I thankyou for. and for the others on why not wanting a prepago....well I am understanding a prepago as a prostitute mostly? if this is correct, I don't want to be having sex with a girl that might have had another guys d*ck in her hours or even a day or two before without a condom where that guy is all he does is have sex with prostitutes all the time. kinda scares me and grosses me out a bit. but to each his own like i say. unless i am wrong about what a prepago is? i would just rather find a normal girl and have no reservations about getting as freaky as I want with her and feeling more comfortable about the whole situation. i mean, could you "go down" on a prepago without worrying? peace....beef27

 

Beef27 comments on american looking to live in medellin

if you do semperfi make sure you let me know....it's always good to have a Marine watching one's back. I'm thinking of buying a place as well since I get so much vacation time a year. Semper Fi...semperfi! beef27

 

Beef27 comments on Avoiding prepagos and meeting only "real" colombianas

fully shaved head and actually, thinning a little on top. Well, when people ask if I shave because I'm losing my hair, i tell them I'm not losing my hair....it's just growing on my back now! LOL. Been shaving for the last 10 years and usually get complimented on it though. I shave just about everything as being a fitness buff and for some reason have a disgust for it now...like it's dirty?! Kind of weird i guess but i'm very particular about my appearance and hygiene. Coffee Beaner, was pondering opening a Private security company there but that will be in due time as I save my money currently working out here in Assghanistan. Are you in Colombia by the way? Semper Fi! beef27

 

Beef27 comments on Avoiding prepagos and meeting only "real" colombianas

I will change my name to Pablo Miguel Roberto....now, just got to get more spanish

 

Beef27 comments on Avoiding prepagos and meeting only "real" colombianas

i'm back i do have a few months before I go actually. I won't be there until July. I actually was looking into buying an apartment in S. America where it is less expensive, and because I have always liked the culture and way of life and family values there. and of course, the women are extremely beautiful. I narrowed it down to a few places, and because of the weather, I think Medellin is my spot. I work in Afghanistan and get 3 weeks vacation every 9 weeks, so I would like to spend it somewhere nice that is inexpensive and keeps me out of the US for tax purposes. I am learning spanish little by little, and I know I can pick it up fairly quick because I lived in Mexico for 15 months and never took a lesson and did well there. However, that was almost 10 years ago. So I need a brush up and some formal lessons too. Oh, and by the way, I'm world traveled and not a pasty white gringo....got a tan, fit and former US Marine and personal trainer. I know about security, as it is my current job protecting people, so that I am not worried about. You guys have been extremely helpful. thanks! Beef27

 

Beef27 comments on Avoiding prepagos and meeting only "real" colombianas

reality is setting in and really, whatever happens, happens i guess. I'm gonna hit the bars/clubs and have a few drinks because I don't get that out here in muslim country. plus i like to dance, but not so good with salsa/merengue but pretty good with hip hop and some raggeaton. not looking for a relationship as it will be a vacation, but also not against it. i really am checking it out because i might buy a vacation apartment there and i like the climate and heard many good things besides the women. so if no girl this time, i'm sure at some point i'll meet a nice hot colombiana. i'll let ya'll know how it pans out if anyone cares about a gringo's solo trip to medellin. thanks again....beef

 

Beef27 comments on Avoiding prepagos and meeting only "real" colombianas

thanks for the honest comments what i think my best bet would be to go sightseeing in the day and hopefully bump into a nice paisa and invite her out for a night on the town. after spending 6 months straight in Assghanistan, I really do want to go out and party a bit in the clubs...but I don't want to be wasting time on some girl who just had some gross dude in her earlier that day. i could be way off, and if a prepago is not the same as a working girl but just a girl trying to make it, then that's a little different. i'm just really turned off by the working girl and actually feel sad for them. but to each his own if they want that. i'm not one to judge...just not for me. thanks all!

 

Beef27 comments on Avoiding prepagos and meeting only "real" colombianas

well i guess i'm foked because my spanish is not so good and I am going to Colombia to learn about the culture. however, it will improve....i'm sure. anyway, this seems it could turn comical at any point, which is fine but I would like some real world answers if anybody has some input. peace.....beef, it's what's for dinner!

 

Beef27 comments on LASIK in Medellin....experiences?

honestly, i don't think pow wow understands the meaning of "pun intended". unless he has social issues that are coming out in his posts? manINred confirms, it's not a Brit thing.

 

Beef27 comments on LASIK in Medellin....experiences?

Pow Wow....get a sense of humor damn, i was thanking you! what was rude about what i said? please explain that to me...saying pun intended is rude? how so? i was referring to "opening my eyes" in relation to having an operation to see better. get it? uh, by the way i work daily with about 80 Brits, so I know plenty about your culture and the way people are. What the hell is wrong with you anyway? Yes people in England are polite, just like your response here proves. You must be quite posh or something.

 

Beef27 comments on LASIK in Medellin....experiences?

didn't notice the search function i'll check it out and use it from now on. on a side note, i have a few friends/family members that had the surgery and were more than pleased, so i didn't even think about side effects. i was just ready to be free from contacts and glasses for the first time in 20 years. oh well, i think i need to research this more before i make the decision. Pow wow, thanks for opening my eyes to this...pun intended. beef27

 

Beef27 comments on LASIK in Medellin....experiences?

one question packagegirl since i cannot email you directly.....do i have to be wearing my glasses for 2 weeks prior to this operation since i mainly use contacts? i think i heard that from someone before. thanks!

 

Beef27 comments on LASIK in Medellin....experiences?

wow.....thanks! good info anybody else's experiences?

 

Beef27 comments on Best flight/price Medellin to US

Beef27 comments on Rooms to rent in Medellin Penthouse

Beef27 comments on flying to U.S. from Medellin

really? then how would one go about purchasing a ticket ahead of time? is there a website for this? i cannot do it on orbitz or the like, since it is a one way out of colombia. any help appreciated. beef27

 

Beef27 comments on

bazucojoe who the fuk do you think you are? dude, doesn't sound like you are a colombian either....mate! what's the difference between your white nasty british or aussie fatbody being there than any American. what, you think the colombianas look at you differently than they do Americans? They most likely don't even know a difference at first. other than you are pasty white, and have rotten teeth like most brits or whatever you are. go chain smoke as you read this to calm you down. Oh, and I work for a british company with brits and aussies, so I know how you guys are. man, i hope i run into you when I'm in Medellin. Hope you have as big a mouth out in public in regards to us yanks, and maybe say something to me when you are on the piss. but then again, I'm 6ft 225lb solid former Marine so I'm sure you'll keep quiet besides talking behind a keyboard. So if you see a big muscular dude with a shaved head and a lot of girls around that he didn't have to pay for, come up and say hello. I'll introduce you to my fist. you're weak! out...

 

Beef27 comments on Bogota this weekend

i just messed it up I do know Colombia is spelled with O's, but was typing fast so it was a typo...but thanks for pointing that out :) So airports early, ATMs, and exchange money in Miami...thanks, paul

 

Beef27 comments on Any gyms in Cartagena?

actually Paradise to me is a mild climate year round, with beautiful women year round as well! I am not familiar with san andres, so I'll check it out but I can't take the extreme heat anymore. So do you think with $100k in my hands I can make something good happen in Medellin? thanks

 

Beef27 comments on 1st time to Colombia...what do I need to do?

thanks man, but all I speak is english and spanglish....i'll be taking spanish lessons soon though. no farsi or dari for me either. so really, all I need is my passport to get in? that's it? thanks, Paul

 

Beef27 comments on Any gyms in Cartagena?

thanks Miguel Actually I am not looking to make much, just enough to have a life in Colombia. I wonder if Bodytech is a franchise? I was thinking of maybe franchising my own. I'm thinking what can I do with $100k US that will allow me to do well in Colombia now and forever? I've been in the fitness industry for a long time, and it is my passion along with my current work of personal security(currently in Afghanistan) but once this ends, I want to live in paradise. any other ideas? thanks again, paul

 

Beef27 comments on Any gyms in Cartagena?

opening a gym Hey do you think it would be a wise investment to open a gym in this area? I'm an American working in Afghanistan right now but am planning on taking a vacation soon to here and possibly Medellin and may look for a place to buy to live and I am also looking to start a biz. I have been involved in fitness for 12 years so that is what I want to do. Any ideas guys? thanks

 

Beef27 comments on Can an American own a house in Colombia?

JMBone...contact me Jim,
I need to pick your brain and would like to meet up with you. I am looking to vacation in Cartagena in July time, to possibly purchase a place. However, everywhere I look prices are in the $100k plus range so I'm interested in how you found $19k apartment! I'm a former Marine working in Afghanistan looking for a tax break with out of country residency and want to go where my money works more...hence colombia. Please you can contact me through this website. I think I might have hit you up already however through your other website earlier today?? thanks, Paul

 

Beef27 comments on I was a fool for a Colombiana

Would like to talk to you offline. Hit me up at semperfitness at hotmail.com Peace, BEEF27
