Porque Te Quiero

Porque te quiero te beso apasionadamente y tu te ries.
Porque te quiero te acarisio y tu te ries.

Porque te quiero yo juego con tu pelo y tu te ries.
Porque te quiero yo te doy una rosa y tu te ries.

Porque te quiero yo beso tus pies y tu te ries.
Ya no aguanto tus burlas. Porque te quiero?

Cada dia muero lentamente. Porque te quiero?
Cada noche es un insomnio. Porque te quiero?

Cada noche lloro y lloro. Porque te quiero?
El metal de el revolver es frio. Porque te quiero?

La bala penetra mi cerebro y esta noche yo muero.
Porque te quiero!

Fillet Mignon and Jarritos? Yes!

Like most people I love a good steak. So this past weekend I decided to cook some Fillet Mignon steak. The day was perfect nice and sunny and breezy. Which is odd for summer weather in Arizona. So I headed to my backyard and fired up old Betsy (my grill). Yes, I named my grill. Don't judge me!

Anyway, while Betsy was getting warmed up I was seasoning the steaks. A little salt and pepper was enough to bring out the flavor of these delicious cuts. Betsy at appropriate temperature, check. Grill brush, check. Tongs, check. 

Everything was ready to go. As I set the steaks on the grill the sizzle it created was music to my ears.Two minutes in the smell coming from the grill was making my mouth water! I couldn't wait to take the first bite. Are you hungry yet?! 

Finally the grill marks were set in and the steaks were ready! I decided to also bake some potatoes for the side dish. Time to sit down and enjoy my meal. But wait?! I'm missing something, the red wine. I went to grab a bottle of my favorite red wine and panic set in! Here I am all this time preparing this perfect meal and I realize I am out of wine! Noooo! What do I do now? Do I run out and get a bottle? That'll take too long and my steak would be cold by the time I get back. 

Now I am running around like a chicken with it's head cut off looking under the sink, in the dishwasher, under my couch anywhere hoping to find a bottle but with no success. Exhausted I open my fridge to get something cold to quench my thirst. As I opened the fridge, the light bulb inside illuminated a tall bottle of the most beautiful red liquid I have ever seen! The answer had been there all along and I was a fool for ignoring it.

What could go better with Fillet Mignon than a delicious Strawberry Jarritos! It was like heaven sent. Finally  I could sit down and enjoy my meal. As I open the bottle the aroma of the Strawberry emanating from the bottle was better than any aged wine I have ever had. The taste of it was sweeter than the riches grapes any wine could have been made from. I can feel every bubble tickling my tongue. After every drink I wanted more and more! I couldn't stop. It had my taste buds lusting after it. I could nothing else but to give in. With every drink my taste buds were swimming in ecstasy. 

Like all good things it had to come to an end. As I sat there in heaven from all of the flavors my mouth had just experience all I could think of was how lucky I was to have experience such a plethora of flavors! I could only hope soon. Until then I will wait for your return Strawberry Jarritos. I will dream of you daily until then. I miss you. 

If that wasn't enough for you to get up and get a case of Jarritos then I don't know what will! It is awesome!!

The Face Of Evil

September eleventh two-thousand and one will be a day that I will always remember. I was awaken abruptly by someone telling me "Chris, a plane just crashed into the World Trade Center!" I remember replying, "Get out of here!" I could not believe that a pilot would miss seeing two of the worlds largest buildings. I immediately thought that something must've been medically wrong with the pilot.

I got up but did not go see the news I went straight to the shower. I figured a story like that will still be on when I got out. It could wait. After getting dressed I went to my living room just in time to see footage of what I thought was a single plane crashing into the World Trade Center. I remember saying, "Wow, they caught it on tape"! Then I was told that what I was seeing was actually a second plane that had crashed into the second World Trade Center Building.

I was confused but what I heard next from the news anchor cleared everything up "The country is under attack" he said. It was clear then that terrorists were involved. I remember thinking, "Terrorism in America?!" My shock quickly turn into anger. An hour or so later just when I thought things couldn't get any worse. I saw something that I had only seen in disaster movies. I saw two iconic buildings reduced to ruble in seconds. It was totally surreal.

Like many Americans that day I tried to compose myself and attempted to have a "regular" day at work. However it was impossible. The updates of the situation were everywhere. From the radio to the T.V. and from co-workers filling me in on the latest. My feelings that day ranged from shock, anger and sadness. So many innocent people died that day. Brothers, sisters, mothers, daughters, sons etc...

On my way home that day the I saw our Air Force jets flying over American homes. Even though they were patrolling the skies for our protection it still felt so wrong. For the first time in my life I was afraid of our own jets. I became slightly paranoid for sometime. Almost everything was "suspicious".

I remember thinking, "What's going to be next, car bombs? To think that I couldn't walk down the street without looking at the car parked next to me and thinking that it might blow up was very unnerving for me. I was afraid for my future and my Son's future. Will he have to have the same thoughts as me or will things be better? Nobody anywhere in the world should have to worry about those type of things. However, it's sad to know that unfortunately that is not the case in so many parts of the world.

President Obama announced earlier that Osama Bin Laden is dead as a result of an American military operation. Finally justice has been served for the families of the victims of 9/11! I thank God for the men in our military who were involved in this. I am glad none of them were hurt. There is a quote that says, “To celebrate a man's death is soul-less, unless the soul wasn't in the man to begin with.” I can assure you there was no soul inside Osama Bin Laden!

May first two-thousand eleven will be a day I will always remember. It will forever mark the day that justice was served to not only the victims of 9/11 but to the countless innocent people that have been killed or effected in some way by this evil man all over the world. Thanks again to the men and women of our military for continuing to keep us safe and for their sacrifice!

                                          GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Thank You Jarritos!

These last few weeks have been awesome! I have been eating like a king! My wife has been cooking up some delicious dishes. This time around she made Tostadas. Tostadas are composed of a hardshell tortilla topped with refried beans, seasoned ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, Avocado and sour cream. Now doesn't that sound delicious?!

Of course I had to have a Jarritos with this and this time I chose their "Mexican Cola" flavor. Now I have to tell you that at first I was very skeptical about how it was going to taste. I have always been a fan of cola specifically Coca-Cola. I remember drinking it ever since I was a toddler. I have tasted other brands claiming to be "Cola" and frankly just end up disappointing me. They turn out to be a water down version of the real thing.

Well like I've said before, I have yet to be disappointed by Jarritos! Their "Mexican Cola" flavor is awesome! It's in a class of it's own. It has the cola flavor that you are looking for but it also has it's own rich flavor that I can't quite put my finger on it. It will not burn your throat like Coca-Cola will but you will still know that your drinking a cola flavored drink. I give it a five out of five stars! Go and buy a case! Better yet buy a few cases 2012 is coming and if there was a drink that I would need to have when I am in my underground bunker waiting out the Apocalypse it is definitely Jarrito's Mexican Cola!
