A Stroll Down Calle Uruguay in Panama City, Panama

Due to an oddball series of events that I dare not discuss here, I found myself perusing the nightlife of my fair, beautiful Panama City in search of fun, sexual healing and assaults to my senses that can only be found under the multicolored lights of the many nightclubs that pepper the town. My hard-partying [...]

Rock Cafe and the Tacos of Calle Uruguay

Oftentimes I find myself in the unenviable position that forces me to make a choice in regards to post-drinking eatables, and since I’m not one to be rolling in excess the options before me can be somewhat limiting at, say, 2AM. I recently found myself in that particular crossroads: I was at one of my [...]

Zombie Walk Panama 2006 – A Recap

There was a point in the evening where we were at an intersection and I broke out of character to take a quick break from walking like an undead retard when I looked to my right to see a 3 – 4 cop barricade, completely stunned, their jaws to the floor as they saw the [...]

The Panama Canal Referendum

Last weekend was bizarre in the sense that it goes to show how much we as Panamanians depend on alcohol to have a good time. There was a dry law put in place on a nation-wide scale from Saturday at 12 noon and it was lifted about an hour or so ago as of this [...]

Equation of the Species

I’m 1,000,000,000,000,000% x 17 serious about this: don’t laugh, man. Look, alright. I’ll start off like this… I’ve said time and time again how Panama is a socially retarded society, one which I love to death! Kind of like a cholo Rain Man, if you will. Now, I’ve seen my fare share of stuff when [...]

Tourists and Panama City

I find it amazing how shitty we can treat each other as fellow Panamanians but when a tourist comes around some natives might as well kiss their feet as they stroll down the street dressed up as if they were going on an Amazonian expedition. This makes them easier to spot, and many a time [...]

Post-Birthday Recap

So, it’s Monday now and my stomach still feels like it was punched as an end result of what I had to drink on Friday. Friday, by the way? Absolutely awesome: after a rather hilarious farting incident at Tony Roma’s, 2SXC came along with me to down some wine over at a rather fetching wine [...]

Memoirs: The All-Nighters of 2004

I still don’t know what I’m doing for tomorrow. The self-discovery tendency of days like these seems to be kicking into overdrive and that doesn’t really do well for me since I’m more vulnerable than usual when these times come around. My objectives are broad, yet clear: I want to have blackouts and I want [...]

We’re Going Hunting

Remember how I always say that Panama is a matchbox and nobody is ever really lost? Well, I must say that I stand corrected; I was browsing De Alante yesterday doing what any respectable male over the age of 13 would be doing when he’s got nothing to do (check out the hot mommas) and [...]

Jailbait

It has come to my attention that, as much as I’d like to discredit and discard the notion… most girls here worth giving a second look (or third or 27th) are under-aged. This puts me in a rather weird place; I’m not old (22, reckless and swinging, bitches) but to think that the girl whose [...]

Hard Day’s Night

A package arrived for me yesterday filled to the brim with books I’ve been salivating over for around, uhh… the dawn of mankind(and try not to be distracted by the pic to your left, kids): “Watchmen” by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons (I get a hard-on just thinking about it), “Maus: The Complete Collection” by [...]

Chance Meetings

Last night was rather weird. I went out with a friend of mine (I’ll call him Bounceddog) For dinner and some beers. Shot the shit, talked about pending projects that have been up in the air for some time and were are usual devil selves. After a while we went to our usual stomping grounds; [...]

“Avenida Colombia” and Poon Centrals

I went last night to watch “X-Men: The Last Stand” (great movie, by the way. Action-packed to ridiculous levels, at least as far as the first 2 are concerned. The use of the Phoenix character is wasted, but effective given the parameters or the world set up and the production has balls even if its [...]

Oh, Sweet and Silly Panama.

Wanna talk about culture shock? Let’s talk about culture shock. Even though I’ve lived in Panama practically all my life there are still things that manage to blow my mind… case in point, the people. I don’t know what it is that possesses them to do the things they do, but yet there they are, [...]
