I myself have never being very funny, but for some reason my son turned out to be one of the funniest dudes. At the age of 3 I can tell you he has amazed me with his personality and way of looking at life and that’s exactly why today I’m going to share some jokes I’ve enjoyed from friends and websites through out my shorts of being alive. 

Q: What is superman’s favourite part of a joke?

A: The “punch” line ! (http://www.jokes4us.com/peoplejokes/comicbookjokes/supermanjokes.html)

If you are under the age of 13 I would not recommend you read the next joke, for those that ask why, I know its dirty but it’s just way too funny:

So superman is flying around the city one day, looking for something to do, when he spies something incredible. With his supervision he can see into Wonder Woman's apartment where she is completely naked and lying on her bed, writhing in pleasure, eyes closed, mouth open, and moaning loudly. Pretty quickly, Superman is feeling pretty hot himself and soon enough he thinks to himself "Hell, I have super speed, I could get in there, have my fun, and burst this load in split-second. She wouldn't even know I was there." So, he flies in, thrusts, releases his load, and flies back out all in a moment. Wonder woman feels just a breeze and says "What was that???" to which invisible man replies "I don't know, but my butt sure hurts".

And to go back to the healthy jokes I end with a batman joke:

Q: Whats the difference between Batman and a robber?

A: Batman can go into the store without Robin!

Hope you had a laugh I sure did! Enjoy life as much as you can, laugh as much as you can and try to keep it clean as much as you can!

When I was a child I remember asking my parents about why some people lived on the streets, and why I didn’t. The concept of inequality just didn’t find itself in my brain, it was simply something that for me did not go together. 

So one day at the age of 8, I asked my mother if I could bring a homeless man to our house, I wanted to let him have a shower, and then give him a warm meal, and send him off with some clean clothes my father had in the wardrobe. 

That’s a dream I still haven’t completed. But the other day I was going through my Facebook wall and I saw the picture of this stranger hugging a homeless women. I got interested and began to read what the big fuzz and over a million likes were about. She had gone to a restaurant with her boyfriend for dinner and there was a homeless women outside asking everyone who was walking out for their left overs. She saw everyone ignoring her and as she left, gave her the left overs she had. But that made her feel even worst, and she went back to the homeless women, invited her to eat a warm and complete meal in the restaurant. 

After reading that story I thought to myself, what have I done to help someone in need? And I decided to go back into my library of memories, that since I had my son has become a bit fuzzy.  And remembered a couple of years ago one winter night I sat down beside a homeless man who had a dog by his side, and shared with him a blanket I just bought for myself as he shared his life story with me. I discovered that he had been a soldier, and after many drastic images and tragic scenarios he had gone through. Coming back wasn’t the blessing he hoped for. But that night I learned how important it is to make the right decisions, how critical it is to use your time and energy the right way, and how fragile and beautiful this life is. 

So if your reading this, make every day count. Because you don’t know where or how you’ll end up tomorrow. So if you can, pay it forward, and you’ll see how good things will find their way to your life.

Five years ago I had the opportunity of hosting a radio show on CHHA 1610 AM with DJ Conquista, that supported Canadian artists. This experience also allowed me to actually conduct interviews with international artists such as Pitbull and Toby Love.

The great part about looking back at this time is seeing how successful some of the artists we interviewed (and some of my co-workers) have become.  For example, Alex Narvaez aka "Leche" who used to do the show after us, is currently working for CBC and has been  part of the production team for George Stroumboulopoulus.  He has also produced videos for Latin American Canadian artists.

So, I decided to introduce you to some of the many Latin American Canadian artists who have reached their goals and more. By creating a Top 5 Latina American Canadian list.

1. Fito Blanco: his song "Meneo" was recently featured in Fast and Furious 7; he is an award recipient of #1 Billboard 200 Albums; he won a BMI award of excellence for his song "Pegadito Suavesito" in 2014; as well as many other achievements.

2. Tatyana D'Voce: has being performing in Festivals since the age of 13; she recorded her first CD “Yo Te Amo” at the age of 9 in 2004 and by 2009 she had her second production titled “El Actor De Mi Novela”. She has performed with artist like Fito Blanko, El J Casino, and opened up for International Artist like Maluna and J Alvarez. 

3. Alex Veliz: was recently featured on Billboard news about his new song "Dancing Kiziomba", which has played all over Toronto radios including Z103.5. He has been signed by Universal Music and has worked with Medylandia Productions for his prior singles.

4. Nataly Castro: Started singing at the age of 4 years old and by the age of 15 recorded her first remix of the original song “Mr Postman”. She later signed with Frequency Productions and produced the video to the bachata version of “Mr Postman”, which reached over 23,000 views. She is currently working on her first produced single, and at the age of 16 is performing in various places of Canada with her orchestra.

Hello world. I’m sorry I’ve neglected this blog. But I’m back with some more consistency, I hope. Thankfully, in my absence and through some life trials I ended up in a post-secondary program that really suits me as a person. I went to university for media studies, with intention to become a journalist. Once I had learned the business of journalism, I realized very quickly that I don’t have the lack of soul that journalists often need to succeed in the business, especially with print journalism. I’ve always loved music and radio, creating audio content and buying new albums, so, why not Radio Broadcasting? Which is where I am now at Humber college.

I find this program is much more suited to who I am and my goals and aspirations. My all time goal (other than playing music for a living, haha) is to become a producer. I’ve been recording my own album at 5Rivers Entertainment Studios in Brampton for a few years with a producer (we want to do everything properly) which is where my intrigue to want to record artists (and my own music) came from. Short term goals INCLUDE: getting a job as a board op or content producer at a radio station! :) 

Next year I’ll be learning how to use Protools which is the “industry standard” audio editing, recording, mixing and mastering software, which is one of the biggest aspects of the program that I’m excited for. As of right now, I obtained (rather unexpectedly, I’ll admit) an internship at Corus, specifically at Q107 helping out Maureen Holloway and John Scholes for their afternoon show, “the MO show.” Funny enough, they are going to get me familiar with the social media platforms and other sites that they use like Soundcloud! 

That’s a little tid-bit of my life as of right now. For the rest of the posts, I’ll be going back to my lyric/live music photo format as well as posting much more album reviews (like, once a week at least.) AND updating the page on my live music experiences that I haven’t been able to share here. 

I’m organizing my life people! I’ll get back to ya soon.
