The world has become topsy-turvy. It is nothing like it was 20 years ago. Imagine Rip Van Winkle (Google him if you need to) waking up in 2026 from his 20-year slumber. He would think he had woken up on another planet. To be clear… mankind is capable of great things. Technology breaks new barriers… Continue reading Topsy-Turvy World

The Downward Spiral
Everybody just stop. Take a deep breath, and a moment for self-reflection. Observe what is happening with an open and objective mind. It’s not even who’s right or who’s wrong anymore. It’s about a social decay that is happening before our very eyes. It’s about the unraveling of the moral fiber of our society in… Continue reading The Downward Spiral
Nombre de Niñas
Sigue la fascinación con darles a pobres niñas nacidas e indefensas nombres inventados, que vienen de combinar los nombres del padre y la madre. Había escrito sobre esto hace unos años atrás. https://opinandoconrey.com/como-te-llamas-ehhh/ ¿Qué vamos a hacer? Los padres entienden que es “cute,” y las pobres niñas se crían con nombres que nadie sabe (ni… Continue reading Nombre de Niñas
Trump’s Comments on Mueller’s Death
I started this blog site in 2018. In recent years I have written less frequently because honestly, people don’t read anymore. But once in a while events occur which cannot be ignored. First, let’s go back in history. In November 2015, presidential candidate Donald Trump mocked a disabled reporter during a political rally. Trump supporters… Continue reading Trump’s Comments on Mueller’s Death
Christianity… and Donald Trump
I’m a Christian. Let me start off there. Being a Christian doesn’t make me better than anyone else. I’m a Christian because I hold certain beliefs, and because I have faith in the Bible, and in salvation through Jesus Christ. Having said this, I feel the need to express certain deep-rooted sentiments. Many people say… Continue reading Christianity… and Donald Trump
The Art of the Lie
Long ago, I heard someone say the following: “Even if they catch you in bed with another woman, you deny it.” Never mind that it’s wrong. At the time it sounded ludicrous. Deny something you’re caught in the act of doing?? As ludicrous as it sounded back then, it has strangely come to fruition in… Continue reading The Art of the Lie
Tercermundismo
Comencemos con la definición de tercermundismo. Según Wikipedia: “…el término se ha simplificado para denominar el estado de un país o región con un índice de desarrollo bajo o la calidad de vida de sus habitantes están en condiciones no favorables. Asimismo, también ha adquirido una connotación peyorativa para describir algo de «de calidad muy deficiente.” Los servicios públicos,… Continue reading Tercermundismo
Hablemos de Cultura
Dada la cantidad de turismo que recibe Puerto Rico, añadida al movimiento de estadounidenses a la isla para vivir, es a menudo que escucho (o leo) gente mencionar nuestra cultura. Lamentablemente, muchas veces es para “explicar” comportamientos que resultan raros o chocantes a los que vienen de afuera. Esto me lleva a un punto de… Continue reading Hablemos de Cultura
It Used to Be…
It used to be that people read books, magazines, newspapers. Now people gorge on social media, scrolling through, all with the attention span of a gnat. It used to be that people would study, work hard, and knew the meaning of the words “research” and “science.” Now people latch onto social media and proclaim themselves… Continue reading It Used to Be…
Let’s Talk GOATS
I feel compelled to write about the recent fascination with the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) subject after the latest Super Bowl. Although the term had not been coined yet, to the best of my recollection the first “GOAT” quarterback back in the ‘50s, ‘60s, and even into the ‘70s was considered to be Johnny… Continue reading Let’s Talk GOATS
