The tide was coming in
Ralph found himself walking on a
narrow strip
of firm beach
Understanding his thoughts in the
two side of the triangle
maze...
where every part is an improvisation
the tide was coming in
an assembly for cleverness
not
for laughing, or fun
the tide,
was coming in
the beast, falling off
the log
but after all the tide was coming in...
the beast, like the darkness on the island
the beast... the worn out
grass
the grey roses
all around the conch
While the tide was coming in

Where I'm From
I am from soccer cleats from Nike and Adidas
I am from the backyard full of red, purple, and yellow
run and run but stay away from the garden
I am from the rough field and the dry grass where we sprint trying to score
I am from Monday dinners and a dozen cousins
from Angelica and Eduardo, Vaccaro and Alcedo
I am from patience and hard work
I am from the catholic church and visits many Sundays
I am from Panama and Italy
I am from the ones who immigrated on boats ans started their life here in panama, I am from the ones who started selling oranges on the streets and ended up becoming a multi‒ millionaire businessman
I am from the Historical streets of Italy. from the rich in culture avenues of,spain and the wonderful land of Panama

My Beliefs
I believe you should give
Your all
And never give less
I believe that soccer can bring people
From all over the world together
Or separate them
I believe that your only regret should be
Regretting life actions
I believe that a song
Can change your day
I believe that money shouldn’t
Be a reason to fight
Because in the end you will lose it all
I believe you should be given
A chance to prove yourself
I believe that life is like football
Take it one play at a time
I believe that a good ice cream
Will make you remember special moments
I believe that once a legacy has begun
You should make sure it carries on
These beliefs are mine since the beginning
Until the end
Your all
And never give less
I believe that soccer can bring people
From all over the world together
Or separate them
I believe that your only regret should be
Regretting life actions
I believe that a song
Can change your day
I believe that money shouldn’t
Be a reason to fight
Because in the end you will lose it all
I believe you should be given
A chance to prove yourself
I believe that life is like football
Take it one play at a time
I believe that a good ice cream
Will make you remember special moments
I believe that once a legacy has begun
You should make sure it carries on
These beliefs are mine since the beginning
Until the end

Mafia Conspiracy
Mafia is made out of mobsters that make illegal businesses and deals. If a deal or transaction doesn't go their way, they will conspire so it will.A couple of years ago, the Mafia was trying to kill the president of the United States for business issues. The Mafia leaders knew that State of the Union speech would soon take place, so they started working on a plan to kill him.
They knew that it would be anarchy if they killed the president, but they would do whatever it took to eliminate him. The day of the speech came and the Mafia's plan to shoot the president was looking pretty good. The president had finished talking about corruption and then a gun shot was heard. It hit the vice president and missed the president by inches. The policemen sprinted towards the location where they heard the shots and apprehended the shooter. It turned out to be that the shooter was the designated survivor.

Roberto Duran
Roberto Duran is probably one of the best Panamanian boxers alive. He was born and raised in a neighborhood known as "El Chorrillo". He was globally recognized for one particular charactristic: the strenght of his punches, that is how he got the nickname "Mano de Piedra" or Hands of Stone.
When Roberto Duran was in his prime, he won most of his fights. Many of these fights were won by knockout. As he continued fighting and winning, he became much more recognized. Back in Panama he was lionized by most kids. Every boy in Panama wanted to become a professional boxer like him.
During these years Duran had everything he wanted. He had: cars, a nice house, money and sponsors. He had a girlfriend back in Panama and when they both turned 18, they got married. Life was going the way it was supposed to be for him until his wife's parents started to ask him for money. This is the beginning of his downfall.
Duran would give money to his in-laws and they would go to the casino for many hours. They spent every single penny he gave them. Soon Roberto Duran became a casino addict himself and began to lose grasp of his life and actions.
He wasn't meticulous with his money spending and soon he lost everything. This is a real shame because before this, he had won a couple of times the title for World Champion. He even beat some of the greatest boxers in history such as Sugar Ray Leonard.
The Duran vs. Leonard fight was a fight to remember. Leonard was the title holder and he lost, he wanted a rematch to try to regain his title. The rematch took place in New Orleans. For this fight, Duran had gained a lot of weight due to his partying habits and had lost agility. Towards the end of round 8, Duran had a dissension with his trainer and said "no mas, no mas".
Now you can assimilate Duran in a huge crowd because he has gained a lot of weight and changed his life style.

How about a drink?
I was checking in when I turned around and saw Holden.
I went over to him and greeted him. At the beginig he didn't remember who I was, and I have to admit he took quite a while on recognizing me. I was consize and asked him about D.B. As you all know, he became a famous writer and producer back in Hollywood. He had a despondent,sad expression on his face. Not to mention he smelled like scotch and cigarrets. I'm not trying to make a conjecture, but he looked a little dizzy.
"Swell" he responded. I noticed he was tremulous while he talked. Well,D.B. Is fine I think. "We haven't talked in a long time" he added. I know he is an irascible kid so I stoped asking him. I also noticed that wehen I asked him about D.B. He was lackadisical. As I talked with Holden a man bumped into him. You could easily see that holden was not very about what just had happend. He rebuked the man and yelled at him to watch where he was going. Holden was trying to simulate soberiety but he failed. After a while Holden said he was tired and he left.
Poor kid, I thought. He has a rough life ahead of him if he keeps up like this. As I walked to my room a door was slammed, it was Holden. He came out holding his stomach (like if he got hurt). When I asked him what had happend. He just asked me if I would mind geting a drink with him. He told me he couldn't sleep and he entreated me for a drink. I said yes and we went back to the lobby.
