everybody is blogging... Since 1999 blogs have been a new practical way for
non-techs to voice their minds without having to know much HTML
code. Web Logs are not hosted in your PC but elsewhere... out
there in cyberspace...
A blog is short for weB LOG,
a personal diary... A collection of your own private
thoughts. Memos to the world. Your blog is whatever you want
it to be. There are millions of them, in all shapes and
sizes, and there are no real rules.
In simple terms, a blog is a web site, where you write stuff
on an ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so your
visitors can read what's new. Then they comment on it or
link to it or email you. Or not.
Since bloggerism was launched in 1999, blogs have reshaped
the web, impacted politics, shaken up journalism, and
enabled millions of people to have a voice and connect with
others... and we're pretty sure the whole deal is just
getting started.
A blog gives you your own voice on the web to publish your
thoughts. It's a place to collect and share things that you
find interesting— whether it's your political commentary, a
personal diary, or links to web sites you want to remember.
Many people use a blog just to organize their own thoughts,
while others command influential, worldwide audiences of
thousands. Professional and amateur journalists use blogs to
publish breaking news, while personal journalers reveal
inner thoughts.
Blogging is about more than just putting your thoughts on
the web. It's about connecting with and hearing from anyone
who reads your work and cares to respond. With Blogger.com,
for example, you
control who can read and write to your blog — let just a few
friends or the entire world see what you have to say!
Some sites have comments that let anyone, anywhere, offer feedback on
your posts. You can choose whether you want to allow
comments on a post-by-post basis, and you can delete any
comments you don't like.
Access Controls let you decide who can read and who can
write to your blog, if any. You can use a group blog with multiple
authors as an excellent communication tool for small teams,
families and other groups. Or as a single author, you can
create a private online space for collecting news, links,
and ideas, to keep to yourself or share with as many readers
as you want.
My blog is different... I beget it and if you're inclined to
do so, you can tell me how'sit...
Anger? What $%# Anger? By DonJibaro

toddler crying very loud on he next aisle. I left my son
with the cart and went to see... Well, there was a lady
comparing the price of two items AND a 3 or 4 year old boy
kicking the shopping cart and screaming "I want that toy,

JIBARO'S DAUGHTER DEPT. Frances' Report on
Missionary Trip to Cuba (Update
by Don Jíbaro)
When
my daughter Frances told me that she was going to be part of a
Missionary Trip to Cuba, I though of the sinister dangers and urban
legends that has turned Cuba into the "don't go there" place. The case
of the Cuban people is a most impacting one... as we have all seen and
read what goes on there... how the arrogant pride of the affluent
Executive leadership keep the populace virtually in squalor poverty.Enter

That PARADOX called LOVE....
A paradox is a logical statement or group of statements that lead to a
contradiction or a situation which (if true) defies logic or reason.
Quoted paradoxical statements do not imply a real contradiction and the
puzzling results can be rectified by demonstrating that one or more of
the premises themselves are not really true, a play on words, faulty
and/or cannot all be true together. THERE...
Autistic man draws Rome from memory after a quick helicopter flight.
This is incredible. It's in perfect detail - all proportions correct, right
number of windows on the buildings, whatever. Only a few tiny errors.
The history of a country. . .
is generally written by the
conquerors. The "conquered" seldom writes a thing. Many
things contribute to the correct and accurate depiction of
historical data. Sponsorship by the wealthy was one of the
favorite incentives. Such history tends to carry a partial
or one-sided view of the facts.
It is, consequently, up to the passionate historian to do
his or her own research to verify the facts. This leads to
documentation which will totally eradicate any pre-conceived
notion acquired during the student's
whippersnapper elementary history education. Puerto Rico, more
than perhaps any other nation, may fall victim to this
phenomenon due to the simple fact that Puerto Rico is the
oldest colony in the world today! Over 500 years, compadre!

measured up

Let's see...
You have been spanked with "chancletas"
You know your mom is sneaking up on you cause you can hear her
"chancletas" flapping on the linoleum floor.
Your mother yells at the top of her lungs to summon you to dinner
and you only live in a one bedroom apartment.
You have ever called linoleum floor a "rug"
You can get to your house blindfolded by the smell of the "chuletas"
You say "Vamo' pa' encima" instead of "Let's get started"
You get scared whenever someone mentions "el CUUUCO"!!! You remember every
Christmas those "aguinaldos" that abuela used to sing for you. READ MORE HERE

The Rainbow People PUERTO RICANS: THOROUGHBREDS OR MUTTS? by
Izzy Zanabria
History has taught us that
conquerors plundered, raped, killed and destroyed cultures.
As conquerors go, the Spaniards were one of the worst and at
the same one of the best. They practiced slavery and
instituted racism, but unlike the Americans, they were more
tolerant of the Indian and African cultures, and even merged
with them. And in so doing, created a whole new culture.
As a consequence of the Indian rebellions in Puerto Rico,
there is still a very strong strand of Indian genetics
present in the island’s racial make-up. There’s European
(white, blue-eyed blondes), African (Blacks) and Indian, as
well as an overlapping of each. Whereas in Cuba and Santo
Domingo, where the Indians were literally wiped out, the
population is basically either black or white, and their
mixture, Mulattos. READ MORE

Hole In The Tongue Dept. Part 2 How To Speak Americano by Don Jibaro
English! ...Oh the pangs of it. The more I learn about
phonetics and grammar, the more ignorant I feel. WHY?
Simply put the rules change and nobody tells you about
them...
This is an example of the New Age Facebook English:
LOL — Laughing Out Loud -or- Lots of Love
,!!!! — talk to the hand
S2R — Send To Receive
WWJD — What Would Jesus Do?
WWSD — What Would Satan Do?
*$ — Starbucks
F2F — Face-to-Face
LMHO — Laughing My Head Off
So... To be understood
in the USA of the 21st century, you gotta "kill" the
words as you pronounce them. Today's lingo is not what
we boomers learned in school.

The Puerto Rican
Jesus by Don Jíbaro Is
Jesus Christ really part of the Puerto Rican Culture or is He just an Icon at Easter and Christmas?
I have always said that a Boricua born in the North Pole is
NOT an Esquimo... he's still a Boricua. The place of birth only makes you a
citizen of that place, nothing more and nothing less. I'm proud of Jesus...
whether He had been born in Puerto Rico or the North Pole. ...but God wanted
Him in Israel. Me? I was born in 60 years ago in San Juan but was raised in
Bayamón, when Bayamón was little, not the Metropolis that it is today. No,
Clark Kent doesn't live there. READ MORE
Systematic Analysis of
the
Caribbean Conga Drums Purloined by Don Jibaro Barbablanca
The conga is a tall, narrow, single-headed Cuban drum of African origin,
probably derived from the Congolese Makuta drums or Sikulu drums
commonly played in Mbanza Ngungu, Congo. A person who plays conga is
called a "conguero".
Les Rivera with his new
Puerto Rican Tumbadora ~~>
Although ultimately derived from African drums made from hollowed logs,
the Cuban conga is staved, like a barrel. These drums were probably made
from salvaged barrels originally. They were used both in Afro-Caribbean...
religious music and as the principal instrument in....

Ode to Daddy
by Raquel M. Vázquez Don Jibaro's Note: My eldest daughter Raquel, a student of the
University Of Maryland, is a very independent person... She's
a leader, not a follower; a strong-willed gal that earns peer
respect by who she is; not by what she appears to be. She has
always maintained a certain degree of admiration for me because
she likes our intellectual exchange. What she wrote below,
however, blew my mind to Alpha Centauri, because how she
expressed things I never knew existed. I am deeply honored to
receive this form of mesmerizing accolade... it's like a Grand
Birthday Gift. READ Ode Here
