Wired News: "Prehistoric Peter
Researchers have uncovered a powerful prehistoric tool in a German cave -- one of the earliest representations of male sexuality ever discovered. The 8-inch-long, 1-inch-wide phallus is thought to be 28,000 years old, and researchers say it's pretty obvious what the object, complete with carved rings around one end, was meant to represent. 'It's highly polished; it's clearly recognizable,' professor Nicholas Conard of Tübingen University told BBC News. The phallus was reassembled from 14 pieces of siltstone. Researchers had 13 fractured sections of the object in storage, but weren't able to put all the pieces together until they unearthed the 14th fragment last year. They believe the icon may have been used as an ancient sex toy, and for splitting flints.

Wow, what a week!!! You know when you start a week with a monday off you're thinking super! It'll be a short week. Riiigght....

Welcome to Puerto Rico, where we do it better. Ok, lets just start the whole thing off that there's no gasoline. All this Daddy Yankee shit and no gasolina on the whole fuckin island. Duh! Why do you say? Well the truckers here decided they were gonna strike. But when you strike here, it's more like civil war. You see the "UNION" has been sabotaging trucks that tried to work, even opening gunfire on one driver. Also, they blocked the ports' access to the roads, so nothing could leave the ships. Great.....

So the gas stations have been shut down, the people without gas haven't gone to work, opting to work "remote", at least there's not one traffic jam. That's good. But anyhow, you think that would be enough drama, no?

Well Puerto Rico does it better....

Now the rumor is that because of this no gasoline thing, the WellsFargo and other armour carrier trucks haven't been running and hence there's no recirculation of actual cash to ATMs. That caused a huge rush for ATMs and alot of them have been tapped out. But the news reminds us this is only a rumor. Who knows???

So now the word is gas is restored(translated) and cash will be available. Which is good 'cuz this is a 5 day weekend for the government. Wait, did I say 5 day weekend? Yeah, I did. That's 'cuz Monday is a holiday and Wednesday is a holiday so it only made sense to give tuesday off also!! Duh!!! So best the gas and cash situation is fixed 'cuz we all have a good mind to do some partying and beaching this weekend!!! Imagine, a 5 day weekend without gas and cash!! Terrible!

Okay, at least i have a pool in my backyard, so you know where I'm heading tomorrow during the day. That's right... and I don't care if I see my exgirlfriend there (hehehe long story....)!

Take care my peeps.

How could I forget this pic???? When in Colombia it's tradition to find a fellow english man and party!! Yep, this is Andy and Monica who had me over for some curry and port and whiskey and rum and wine and ... ah, you get the point!!!! Jolly good times and long live the Queen!!! Y el Presidente!!! Y el Cacique!!! Wuuuuuu!!!!

The mighty Tyson, the Wolfie as such. All praise and love to the wolfdog, for the wolfdog knows all.... jah love!

Colombia was amazing. So amazing that I wonder sometimes why I came back. But then I remember, Wolfie. That's my wolfdog, and no matter where he is, that's where I need to be. So I'm sorry Colombia, it's adios for now. I just had to get back to my Wolfie.

This a view from the Monserrate church. Thats the temple of the Virgin Guadalupe across the way...

Of course Pile isn't the only dog in Colombia. Here's Lobo being walked by his caretaker.

after the tricks Pile the dog comes by for helpful donation for his pups college tuition. Good boy Pile!

In Bogota even the dogs work for a living. Here is an amazing dog who does tricks...

My colombian counterparts! What a good time down there with so many good folks. Esas viejas estan ricas!!

The food in Bogota is amazing. Always prepared fresh, the portions are ample and the price is right. Try the Lulo juice along with the Maracuya juice. Que rico!!!

Adios Barranquilla, hello Bogota!! An enormous metropolis nestled in the Andes, this mountain city is enormous with an estimate 12 million residents. But no worries, it's very friendly and loads of fun!

A lazy afternoon in Cartagena...

When in Barranquilla, it's always a good idea to jet over to Cartagena. The streets look almost like Old San Juan...

My friend Nani at the Barranquilla flea market. Wow, so many things and what prices! Jolly good times!

Barranquilla is a quiet town of 1,000,000 residents with lots of color and midget taxis! The place is off the hook with gorgeous women and lots of song and dance! I love Barranquilla!! PS- Check out the club Barullo!

Last week I flew to Barranquilla, Colombia for a wedding of a co-worker's brother. What a good time! Barranquilla is amazing... anyhow...

at the wedding I got to hang out with my bud Nani (previously featured when she visited Puerto Rico with her friend Beanita). I also met Nani's sister at the wedding, but anyhow, check out the event here.
