I’m sure that the bond between a fan and his national team, regardless of nationality, is just as strong, but like many things about us at the moment, Panama’s soccer team is in a state of mediocrity that is only so because of sheer sloth, and it makes things even more frustrating for the fan. Ask a Panamanian that follows the team, any of them, what it’s like to see their team play beautifully to the point of making them proud, only to have them succumb at the last minute and ruin all the good will they garner from the fans by playing well. Ask them, and you’ll witness a withered soccer soul stare back at you as if Shang Tsung had made a happy hour out of its carcass.

I’ve heard many stories of Porto Diao. No one really knows where he comes from, as he never spoke much during the time I met him; someone in our camp asked him where he was born one night when we were grilling some burgers and potatoes. I wasn’t there when this happened, someone told me [...]

I was going to write something about the Panama Canal but quite frankly I’m not in the mood to be ranting off about depressing and thought-provoking topics or whatever. Instead, I will distract you with my love for the Japanese. There’s not one ounce of Japanese descent in me, so it’s not like my affection [...]

I spent most of yesterday with a really great girlfriend of mine who’s down in Panama for a while, visiting her folks and what not. Upon watching “The Da Vinci Code” again I must say that it’s not as laughably bad as I thought it was; mind you, the first time I saw it it [...]
