Cheers

Tossing pennies over the left shoulder into the Trevi Fountain and staving off nosebleeds Growing up in Puerto Rican Household, I had a funny relationship with pennies. Yes, pennies. See, if I found a penny on the sidewalk, I was to take that as a sign of good […]
On this international day of happiness let’s let a boy be a “brony” When I was a child, I didn’t have many dolls. As a matter of fact, I had one rubber doll that I named sleepy and whose hands I bit off. Once in elementary school, I […]
