Monpirri que receta tan larga, necesito un dia para leerla y otro dia para concinarla.

La proxima vez por lo menos dividala en capitulos.

My coworker Just walked up to me and excitedly announced he was off to "Puta Cana" next week.

Perhaps so but she certainly posessed a healthy dose of visceral fortitude.

Colombia... land of superlatives. A country where middle ground is quicksand.

off to the left or the right... In my rare moments of leisure I am making my way through Oriana Fallaci Se Entrevista a Si Misma: El Apocalipsis - one of her last angry rants before she succumbed to cancer in her little Upper East side house.

What really fascinates me about this woman is the mix of pro-west, quasi-xenophobic christian values all neatly wrapped inside a rebellious, feminist, narcissitic package. Sometimes so off to the right she can fall off the face of the earth. She was a walking contradiction.

I know this discussion is supposed to be about Gabo, but the likes of Yeats and d'Annunzio were brought up.

Powwow, it it not "complexs". The plural for complex is "complexes".

You've lived in Britain all your life and you can't even figure that out yet you think colombians have reasons to have inferiority complexs?

la_colombiana comments on Ask not for whom the consteno hisses, he hisses for thee...

Hissing I always look back because it sounds like a pinched tire losing air.

my two cents Anybody that has an inferiority complex based on their nationality is a freaking moron to begin with.

Personally, I have no issues with my self esteem and I don't think anybody is better than me because their ass is white and they were born up in the boonies of some first world bubble somewhere.

Being colombian is so effing hip, just look at all these gringos spending all day on PBH trying to disect us and figure us out "Do colombianas like teddy bears" "Do colombian men take a leak standing up?". Not only that but they go the extra mile of writing in spanglish and fighting over who has been to more places in Medellin (somehow they think that makes them badasses).

I am happy I am more than happy with my nationality, but as ck so eloquently said, if this guy wants to change renounce it for x or y reason so be it. It is his prerrogative and we must respect that.

Of course, if he resents Colombia for reasons of corruption, violence and social injustice, he should have become Swiss or Swedish, but Mexican??? Eso es como un burro diciendole al otro orejon.
