Pues, cuando oigo que tengo un cuerpo bonito porque soy negro, me enfado muchísimo. Suelen decirme esta estupidez los que no hacen el mismo ejercicio que yo y no comen de la misma manera que yo. Los que no están en el gimnasio tanto como yo. Los que comen 'saludable' pero no comen para tener un cuerpo como yo. Los que necesitan una excusa para que no puedan alcanzar sus propios objetivos de fitness, y me menosprecian para sentirse mejor. Los me sacan de mis casillas. Si alguien que entrena tanto como yo y come lo mismo, pero no logra un cuerpo como el mío, me dice es gracias mi genética, le diría con una sonrisa y un encogimiento de hombros, 'tal vez'.
Otra cosa de las rotundas es si estoy esperando para entrar la rotunda y tú vas a salir, pon tu intermitente para que sepa que puedo entrar. Te me acercas y tengo que adivinar si sales o te quedas en la rotunda, y en último momento sales, pero no estoy listo para entrar y tengo que esperar aún más tiempo porque otro coche ya viene. Si me hubieras avisado, hubiera podido entrar en la rotunda y no me hubiera quedado pegado a la entrada de la rotunda. Pero luego, cuando quieres aparcar ilegalmente en doble fila, ¿pones los dos intermitentes? ¡Qué coño!![]() |

On February 8, 2015, I began tracking the different Spanish wines that I was partaking in, at the behest of Emilio (the dad) of my au pair family. It was a great idea and I did my best to track every wine that I tried, up to February 8, 2016. I tried well over 100 different wines, but I was only able to track and record just under 70 different wines. I always drink responsibly and enjoy in moderation. ![]() |

After three weeks in the US, I was noticing all the wonderful things that I had missed about my country. However, now that I'm back in Spain and readjusting to the Spanish lifestyle, I'm noticing the things that I missed about Europe while I was in the US. It's only appropriate, right? Plus, I have to say good things about Europe too, or they might not let me continue living here. So, without further ado, I present the meat and potatoes of this post.
