| [x] about You can skip the "WTF" Section or jump to the "About Me" Section Below. About Me "WTF" Section Entries: What CubanoConAmor Looks For? (factual not funny honestly :) Cell Phones and the Fast Lane Migente A Strange Place Indeed 09/19 Shallow People Are Everywhere 07/15 Do You Have a Bad Rep? 07/08 The Movie Theater 06/21 Food Town Show 06/05 What CubanoConAmor Looks For? Crazy but this my first post of 2006 on here...I have been behind the times peoples. I get emails every so often asking me what I look for in a girl or a relationship so I guess its time I just make a note out of it...helps me too in a way because it keeps me on track. What I look for in a person: Well as you can see from my page I enjoy music and designing a lot, I find them both to be very uplifting for the soul. I imagine in some past life I use to play congo drums in some little corner in Havana, but I could be wrong lol :) Professionally I am a designer and also DJ on the side so naturally I like to be around creative outlets - museums, poetry readings, gallery openings when time allows. My friends would describe this Cubano as a smart, caring, exciting & a genuine soul with a sense of humor. I enjoy being active which includes things like keeping fit, parks, traveling, the mall, movies, my family and friends. But at the same time I don`t mind staying home and renting a movie you know what I mean? I am not the sit at home and watch sports all day and drink beer typical type of guy. I love warm weather...walks on the beach...seeing movies in the park...getting ice cream...rollber-blading...& good conversation...I am old school in that way. I think love is something that grows over time and in order for it to grow, you open yourself up with time, until that last wall finally comes down and the person you are with really sees you for who you are and what you are made of. I truely believe that actions will always tell you more about a person then any words. I laugh sometimes at people who use the word love within a 2 week span (is that a jersey thing?) I guess I would love to meet a girl who is a sweetheart, a girl that smiles (even when I am not making you laugh) and looks for positive things around her (too many negative people out there), a girl who is comfortable giving and receiving affection, someone who is honest and isn`t into head games (or ex drama etc), someone who has some initiative, someone who can communicate on many different levels and can do it without hurting someones feelings. Its easy to hold your feelings in until you explode - its harder to open up and talk about things. Communication and honesty is the key to every successful relationship. A girl who has some sort of direction in life and wants to build something for tomorrow would also be a plus. Its not enough to have a job imo...what do you want to do for the next 10 years of your life, what drives your happiness? Someone who is supportive, not monetary wise, but emotiontionally - someone who lets you dream but knows you can keep it real. Ideally someone who genuinely still believes that there are honest and caring people out there and not every guy out there is a jerk. Its the little things that mean a lot to people, calling to see how your day at work went - simple things like that, are what make relationships blossom. Activity wise again I would like to find someone who enjoys life and being part of it. Enjoys things like going to the movies, going out on the town (getting dresed up), likes going away on vacation, bowling, block-buster nights...basically couple type of activities as cliche as it may sound. Someone who isn`t affraid to try new things in life or visit new places so long as you are well accompanied (That`s where I come in :) Traveling is absolutely one of my passions as well. I have been to just about every spot in the Caribbean (except cuba lol) I love warm beaches! I have also been to Europe (Madrid, Barcelona, Ibiza) I love history and culture...living it and experiencing it. [Back to Top] Cell Phones and the Fast Lane  I think NJ has probably the worse drivers in the US...and of course since the invention of the cellphone we are all now made to suffer by morons who are sooo important that they just can`t seem to go anywhere without having that blasted phone glued to there face. The worst of these a-holes is probably the fool who in a 3 lane highway is doing 50 in 55 while on the phone. Ok idiot let me break it down for you - You Don`t belong in the fast lane its a passing lane only especially when you see that in front of you there are no cars but yet behind you there is a herd of cars. Ignorant people who back up traffic for miles should be electrocuted and dragged by a horse (yes just like in roman times) Its difficult for people to ever think about anyone else but themselves...no one ever thinks about the safety of others until an accident happens. Is the call your on worth you getting into an accident? worse yet hitting someone and causing them injury. Insurance rates in NJ are sick and its no wonder why...people here drive like they own the road.If you are stupid enough to be on a cellphone and not have a head piece on then at least be courteous and put your right blinker on and drive in the far right lane its called "the slow lane" aka the your a "f`in moron lane" and or "over 60 lane". Its bad enough you think you own the road but the fact that you only have one hand on your steering wheel and are in the middle of a conversation just makes you plain stupid. Do people realize that talking on the phone lowers there response time? Hell people can`t even drive with two hands let alone one and a cellphone. Major venting on this one cause its just over the top in this state. I almost forgot about the whole blinker thing...What is it with this state when you put on your blinker it seems that whoever is coming up on you hits the gas as hard as they can so you can`t change lanes. WTF is up with that and then to really just slap you silly once they get in front of you they slow down. I mean seriously or the classic they speed to get in front of you then they lay off the gas - wtf are you my running tackle u jump in front of me then keep me behind you and back up traffic for miles. F`in bone heads... [Back to Top] 09/19 - Migente A Strange Place Indeed I have wanted to actually post this one for the longest time but I just haven`t really gotten a chance but hey I am on lunch now so its time! I have been on MG for a long time. I have seen this site when it was in its early stages back when you could search for people based on location, race, age etc...all the features you would find on the pay version "migente amor". Its a real shame imo that search ability alone lead me to run across some very old friends who otherwise I would have never bumped into again. But this entry is not about MG and the fact that they continue to nose dive this community...no no this is more about the people you run across on this site. Let me break it down Your page says a lot about you believe it or not. I am not talking about the design aspect of it (not everyone is a programmer and designer on here) but the type of language you use...your spelling...your images...it all reflects back to you in some shape or form. Ok so for example I get a note from a girl and it goes something like your cute I like your pics etc. So then I go check out their page and lets see - I see 25 pics of JLO and one pic of this person. What does that say to me? Do you think you look as good as JLO? Do you admire women? Do you enjoy the way JLO has been around with like 15 guys in a year lol? Crazy no? Or even worse you go to someone`s page and there are no pictures of them and it says underconstruction yet the page is filled with complex html and images. Come on please! People enjoy lying to themselves...they lie about being single, they lie about their jobs (Seen that one sooo many times) My personal fav and DJ Skip can first hand vouch for this from us clubbing. You ask a girl what she does for a living she tells you I am a "teacher"...ok let me filter this one because its happened about 3 times at Diva`s alone. She is a teachers aid...not a teacher...lol. People are pathetic...why would you lie? Other funny things on here, chicks with pics of there a$$ with a g-string hanging out and or the patented MG up against the wall shot with your a$$ all sticking out. Let me tell you what my friend always tells me if it looks like a hoe it is a hoe (if you portray yourself in that manner expect to get notes saying nasty things to you - don`t pull one of those I get all these nasty notes....derrrr). To make matters worse listen if you are fat it doesn`t make you look any better to have half of your a$$ hanging out looking sleezy. Didn`t your mom teach you anything about respect? Oh and to anyone about to say well you have a picture of you on here with no shirt...ok see its different I am at the beach or in the ocean...I work out...its not like I have my package dancing half out of its place. Naming conventions this is probably the funniest part of MG. How many times have you gotten a note from someone with something like hot or sexy something? Only to check out the persons page and just think the exact opposite. Again its dillusional thinking...bate and switch as its called in canal street lol. My warning to the fella`s (the honest ones out there)...There are many girls on this site who are what I like to call "side cheaters". What does that mean? I may have to work on the name but basically its the type of girl who has a man but she is not really happy with him for whatever BS reason so she finds another guy and has a phone buddy to talk to for hours on end. She will meet up with her phone boyfriend and they may even get it on but all along she is just stringing the guy along while still seeing her real man. The real boyfriend doesn`t engage her in conversation...probably doesn`t even call her up and women need attention or they wander (yes like dogs). So watchout for that people! Don`t get involved in talking to some girl for too long without meeting her in person etc...could be the old "side cheater" move. Ok I have to get back to work more later... [Back to Top] 07/15 - Shallow People Are Everywhere So Play Along Ok I just got back from Diva`s Nite Club and I am home now eating my usual Creamy Chicken cup of Noodle (Damn its so good wish I could describe it) Anyways I had a nice nite chilled out with Dj JQ for awhile at the booth and as usual we bantered about dj`in and the women at the club...typical guy convo. Bueno later on DJ Johnny Famulari (props to johnny one of the few dj`s that shows up and actually spins unlike Alex Sensation(aka I bang every girl I can yet I have a wife and family...ooo low blow...la mega no juega ;] )who shows up with a pre-produced cd and then pretends to spin) Hey it happens been djing for awhile and some dj`s when they get big just show up and drop a produced cd. Never really understood that train of thinking but hey maybe thats why I don`t spin on la mega lmao (I know I am hating on the man right now but hey I don`t give 2 shakes u know what I mean) Bueno anyways after that I stepped down and started to chill with my crew talking the usual BS...how the week was going...which girls were looking fine etc...usual banter. Pero anyway then at some point some cute girl came up to me and asked if I wanted to dance and I am a big fan of a girl who has enough energy to come up to a guy and ask him to dance I think that`s just a sign of the age we live in. Women are more empowered then in the past...so whatever I went and I started to dance with her and being that I chill at Diva`s alot I had never seen this girl before - I asked her that - Bueno she kinda jumped up and said something like well I just broke up with my boyfriend and I usually don`t go out etc...pero really like worked up and I laughed and was like relax I was just asking I don`t want to take u home or anything. I think people often forget to listen to what they are being asked and they think every question is loaded with some aftermath. Damn I miss the days when you could ask a question and people not assume u are trying to get down their pants. Ok but it gets funnier...so we are dancing bachata and in my head I was like oh boy i gotta push this further...there is obviously some psychological ex-boyfriend drama that she is still experiencing...(that`s f`ed up right? lol) anyway so then we were chatting and dancing and I was asking her questions and at some point she was like I had to dance with you and of course my little spidey senses picked up on that and I was like "oh really" (with one of those cuban step back stares) and then i started to ask why etc nicely u know what I mean...and she was like well I saw you in the DJ booth and I had to dance with you and I was like what?? lol oh the smurk I put on at that point was pretty wide - one of my friends who was off to the side looked at me and did one of those double takes. People are so f`in lame I swear...they see u in the Dj booth they assume hey that person is trendy etc or some other crap then they want to be your friend. I am not up there to pick up chicks I am genuinely up there checking out JQ spinning and of course trying to get him to play some more of my cd lol. I am not up there for fame that`s not a dj`s job...we move people and make sure they are having a good a$$ time. is that too harsh? That`s what I think of certain people out there...shallow as hell...That`s not how I was raised...its not my line of thinking I don`t know what else to say...but hey I am done with my soup so off the bed I go. Anyway thats it for today`s rant thanks to all who actually take time to read through things and not assume BANG BANG BANG... :) [Back to Top] 07/08 - Do You Have a Bad Rep? You know I am probably going to get heat on this one but hey I have an opinion that just has to get out...I have been clubbing now for a few years from dance clubs (twilo, exit, lime light) to latin clubs part of it has been my job as a DJ and part has been my love of music and dancing. So what, u going clubbing a lot who gives 2 sh**s?? well it amazes me being a man and running across what I call the girls "who have been around" (sounds like the next girls gone wild dvd doesn`t it?). What does that mean? Well I have friend for example who started talking to this girl at a club and whatever they hit it off and they did the one night stand thing. A few weeks later we saw this chick again at the spot and thats when the 411 on her started to circulate. We spotted this girl walking into the club and my friend was like oh look there she is...and on her way in she must have greeted something like 15 guys and of course our little group sparked something off like well I guess those 15 also had a go with her, lol. Now not only was this chick not the greatest looking girl in the world but on top of it all she had definitely been around the playground. Ok so I already hear the well your friend is a "H"O* too and the truth is he is...I tell him that all the time. I don`t know maybe times are different now...its ok for ladies to sleep around. The salsa scene in jersey is ooohh sooo small most of us know each other...so to me its insane to just do that kind of stuff and then not expect to be branded...and honestly you DO get branded quick, sad but true. Its actually funny but at some point early in the year I started to talk to this girl I met at a club (I rarely ever do that just from experience). She seemed cool people (I had seen her b4 and didn`t really see anything crazy about her) but whatever it turned out that she had been around with several Dj`s insane huh? And how do u know this? Is this rumor based or fact...Well when u have several of your friends including fellow dj`s come upto u and say bro she is bad news blah blah...u know something is up...I mean people that I am very cool with were coming up and telling xyz so u know its no BS. Fortunate it never went past talking with me and her but let me tell u I still hear jokes about "Alex Sensation Chick" 8P. Hopefully this little rant will put an end to all that banter, lmao!! [Back to Top] 06/21 - The Movie Theater This one actually came as a suggestion from Salsagirl818 and I totally agreed. Movies "WTF" is up with people in theaters now a days? and why is it that the more ghetto of an area u go to the more BS is happening? I have always wondered are people just naturally complete a-holes or were they just raised with no manners? What is with parents who take their kids to see R Rated films? What is it with parents who bring toddlers to the movies have people just lost respect for others? I don`t know I am always left wondering about things We have all been to the movies and seen some annoying stuff like the jerk off`s who won`t STFU or my personal new fave the jerk on the phone who is so important that he has to have a conversation while the movie theater is packed. If you want to talk on the phone or to your idiot boyfriend go back to your car or bus stop and do it there WTF. I have lost my cool at the movies a few times I won`t lie if your not smart enough to know that you are annoying other people around you then in my book you don`t get the "can u please be quiet" no no you get the "can u STFU?? line" What cracks me up even more is that most of the times the noisey person usually is traveling with a few people. This is the typical POS person that would`nt make noise otherwise. I guess certain people feel safer when they are in the company of there friends. - but let me tell u something I have personally seen things get ugly at the movies in the past even if you are with a few people chances are if the person you pissed off is bigger then you and your crew...your crew isn`t going to have your back. So take it from me Shut up, Sit Back, and let the rest of us enjoy the show. [Back to Top] 06/05 - FoodTown Oh boy here I go on a rant. Well I went to foodtown to pick something up I usually never go to foodtown but hey its on the way back from the gym. So I am online its going very slow and its hot. Well in front of me is this woman who is pregnant and has 2 kids with her. So the cashier gets this call that the chick had hustled a magazine into her shopping cart with all the groceries. Let me tell you I was like so typical. Essentially one of my ex-girls who was also dominican like this chick (and no I am not saying anything defamando la rasa) use to do the same thing. Mind u my ex use to make like 40k a year and I was like why the hell would you steal a magazine like that? Why would u risk the humilation over something so stupid? I have gotten notes asking me what my beef is with dominican chicks and I tell them its just bad experiences from the past and no not everyone is the same but I think 80% of stereotypes r true. Yes Cubans hablan mucha u know what. But anyway what made this foodtown thing even more wrong was what the "F" are u teaching your kids? To steal? WTF kind of mom are you? She is lucky that the foodtown was so hot and the cashier just took it back and let it go at that. [Back to Top] Design/Music - Its All Creativity Essentially As you can probably tell by now I enjoy design its what I do for a living :) I also enjoy music a lot its a part of my daily life you know what I mean? Old school salsa (80`s and fania style) are some of my faves. I have been djing now for about 6 years. Originally after coming back from Ibiza I started up on a crusade with my fellow cuban friend (Alex - aka Lex - founder of the waterbughotel collective) to become a DJ. We use to spin till the wee hours of the morning back at 111 building in Jersey City. During the summer we would spin outside in the court yard till the sun came out...all the heads that lived there would come out and just chill with us. My love for Trance music eventually evolved and I began to spin progressive house as well. But trance will always be the most uplifting music that I have ever spun. As a DJ in electronica the most amazing thing is that you are in control of rythm and tempo in addition to emotions. Believe it or not music stirs certain emotions in crowds its amazing and that is why I fell in love with music the way I did. Oakenfold, Tiesto, Danny Howells - Those Dj`s inspired me a lot at my start. Over the last few years I have redove into my roots and now carry a heavy hitting set of latin music...salsa & reggaeton of course being my faves but not leaving behind bachata and merengue. The beauty of latin music is its rich old school flavor toppled by the freshness that reggaeton and bachata have brought us. Most of the private parties we spin at cater to all types of music its one of the things about Djing private parties which is good and bad. The clubs we have spun at have been fun I will say because we are in full control. Growing up in Hudson Cuban County I grew up in hudson county back when 90% of it was Cuban. Grew up helping my grandfather in the bakeries. My abuelo use to work for El Fenix (on 42nd) El Unico (no longer there that was on 20th i think) and El Fenix #2 that was up on 62nd. There was probably nothing better then eating fresh cuban bread directly out of the ovens in the AM. That and of course crossing the street and getting some fresh churro`s for a buck. I don`t if it was a Cuban cultural thing or what but we use to eat a lot of sugar growing up - not the healthy things lol. As I got a bit older I started to go out with "El Chino"(cuban muralist/signage artist). Growing up my mom and dad both worked (not uncommon in many latin house holds) so my sister and I had a baby sitter. This woman is like my second mom and her son "Alex" is like my brother. At some point I started to go out to work with the "El Chino" I remember Alex never wanted to go out to work with him it was funny that way. "El Chino" is probably the most known muralist/sign painter up and down bergenline. Crazy but just about every sign that is painted by hand he has done. People always tell me I have a Cuban accent and thinking back it makes sense I grew up among cubano`s in the heartland! Eventually in the late 90`s my parents moved out of hudson county. A lot of Cubans did...I think that is just the way places like union city are...before the cubans it was italians and they moved out. Its amazing to think how cultures in certain areas just change over time. |

| [x] refranes I know being latin you have all run across refranes or dicho`s in the past. When I was younger I was convinced my mom had written just about all of them out there but of course I was wrong lol...But here are definately some of the ones that still hold truth to me today. If you have any faves shoot them to me so I can add them! Dime con quien andas, y te dire quien eres Amor de lejos, es el amor de pen - dejos Al que por su gusto muere, la muerte le sabe a gloria. El que hace la ley, hace la trampa El que nace pa` tamal, del cielo le caen las hojas El que parte y comparte, se queda con la mejor parte El que tenga tienda que la atienda si no que la venda En boca cerrada no entran moscas Juntos pero no revueltos La mujer, como la escopeta; siempre cargada y detras de la puerta Las apariencias engaqan Mala yerba nunca muere Mas vale malo por conocido, que bueno por conocer Nadie sabe el bien que tiene hasta que lo pierde No hay peor sordo que el que no quiere oir No hay mal que por bien no venga No todo lo que brilla es oro Ojos que no ven, corazon que no siente (Put this one in for all the dominicans out there - its very popular) Perro que ladra no muerde Quien no arriesga, no gana Quien rie al ultimo, rie mejor No hay bien que dure, ni mal que no se acabe Mas sabe el diablo por viejo que por diablo El que se acuesta con ninos amanece cagado |

| [x] spots Ratings below are based on a few factors. Number one of course is the music then followed closely by the crowd etc. I don`t enjoy going to clubs where the male to female ratio is something like 8 guys to every 1 girl. Also the crowd itself whether its classy, stylish, and or ghetto. Copa Cabana (NYC) - 212.239.2672 sats are great - its a dress up classical affair as usual can`t beat it :) Diva Lounge (Montclair NJ) - 973.509.3000 (thurs night) This has been our spot for a looong time...My friend DJ JQ is on the decks so you will catch me in the booth a lot of the times. Dj Rah Rah spins hip hop on the other side so you get a great variety of music. Sandbar (Jersey City NJ) - 201.714.5000 - Sats have seen a mass decline in what it use to be. Owners have decided to NOT play any reggaeton consequently there has been less fighting but who wants to go to a spot and not hear some reggaeton you know?(fri dance sats latin) Sportsexy now known as Lounge 46 (Near Wayne NJ) - 973.890.9699 - New decor on the inside gets pretty packed on sats too bad its mostly with guys. Tribecca (Fort Lee NJ) - 201.461.7744 (so so not what it use to be (Alex Sensations bro spins in the top floor didn`t know that did u? lol) Drama Night Club (1and9) - 201.943.9500 This spot is almost always a loss unless there is a good playing that night. Drama's along with Tribecca both share "has been" histories and have never recovered. Exit - 212.582.8282 Coco Bongo (Elizabeth NJ) - 908.527.1928 A lot of colombians nice spot to bring a date to tables etc. Recently redecorated and is pumping a pretty good crowd on Thursday nights but they are charging Copa prices in Elizabeth? Ya thats what I have been told...eventually they will die down just on that fact alone. Remember is Coco Bongos not the COPA, lmao. Club Miami (Elizabeth NJ) - Nice bar to go have some drinks live dj and all small dance floor. Miss anything let me know! |
