A day full of like...famous people.





So I get to the office and there's a sign close to our parking lot that says "Crew Parking". The Hollyweird police had closed one square block for a production. A cable TV show on USA was being filmed. Now I paid no attention to the shoot throughout the day cause you know, I just didn't care - just as many people across the US probably don't care about the show - But then, I heard cries of...hey, is that Method man? I just had to look out the window...and there he was...arguing with Bruce Campbell about something, getting pointed at with guns and all. In between takes, practically the whole office was throwing the "wu-tang" and he looked up, laughed and threw it back at us. It was dope!

Then, a concert snuck up on me...For weeks I had no idea that I had bought concert tix to Modest Mouse so we went to the Filmore in Miami Beach last night for the show. Johnny Marr and Isaac and all of them! The show was AMAZING. Modest Mouse has an incredible stage presence and the energy was awesome. Just don't go see them when they're drunk, according to Jimmy. :)




PS: Some kid already posted a video from last night...technology is no joke... :D


Float on!

Last night at JP's new place!





Good times at JP's new apartment. The highlight has to be the wrap-around 8th floor balcony, from which we could see our beloved downtown Hollyweird and more! Then we went for some grub at Flannigan's and headed back for some more good times. Check out the pics and vid! Congrats JP...so cool!

PS: Pete almost ate my phone. Adorable.

My old man's birthday


Tonight was my dad's 65th birthday so we gathered at my brother's house for a little get together. Cheers to you dad! I love you!

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

Those of you that know me, know that David Fincher is my favorite director of all time, and anything he does is sacred for me. Yes, I love every single movie, including Panic Room and Alien 3 :)

So when I heard about his latest, of course I was all over it. But it seemed like such an odd choice for Fincher at first...

"So he's doing a love story...but wait, it has a great twist, that sounds like him..."

When I saw this trailer, halfway through it I just knew it was him...The way the shots move and are composed, the lighting...so good!

I smell Oscar!

Ben's Birthday




On the posh downtown vicinity of Brickell we went on Thursday night, to celebrate Ben's 25th burthday. We hit up the microbrewery Gordon Birsch and had a burger, then we hit up Redbar, two blocks down...but not before paying 18 dollars for parking! A word of advice... Never park in the Mellon Financial building unless you wanna break into your mutual funds to leave your car in there. We had a lot of fun though! Redbar was like a red "now art", they had some interesting stuff on the walls..My fave has to be the Fidel Castro spewing uhhh stuff outta his mouth. :)

The next chapter...


Today we set a tentative date. January 14th should be a reasonable time for Gabi to get here. The countdown marks 219 days to go. :) It should fly by just like the last one!

I lost a bet.



She beat me at Mario Kart. Repeatedly. So, I had to do this.

Lower your volume for the video, it's loud.

The best days of my life.




This wonderful woman came into my life a long time ago. This story has been 8 years in the making...and now we're getting to the good stuff. That's why I'm going to fast forward to now...not going to talk about the past, it's not worth mentioning.

She lives in Caracas. I live in South Florida. We've been together for almost 6 months.

So she came to visit me. I took a week off to be with her, we met up in Orlando for a weekend, went to universal did a bunch of stuff while she was down...

The most wonderful thing is that, it didn't really matter if we were out to dinner on a fancy restaurant or we were sitting in a car by the beach at night, or putting on a ridiculous poncho to brave the sporadic storms in a theme park, it didn't matter what we were doing...I was with her...and with her, everything seems amplified.

I don't know what I did to deserve this but, all I know is that she's an amazing gift from God and that I love her and she loves me. And the distance thing? It's not even a thing anymore. We are all that matter and every day that goes by we bond stronger, and we grow together.
