Where Are The Halos?

The Catholic-school-boy son of a Cuban American cocaine wholesaler in Newark, New Jersey. Motherless. The ex-football captain, young Karate black belt who saw through the facade of the American Dream. A Generation X college grad who'd rather surf, pursue a sense of personal, spiritual and artistic freedom then commit to a 9 a.m.- to 5 p.m. reality... a fool. A fool to pursue literature. A fool to realize too late that one can neither eat nor sleep comfortably under a roof of ideals. Loading trucks.Roofing. Two-bit journalism for the Hearst organization with a side of outdoor cannabis cultivation.... cage fighting as a viable alternative?No. Once the Paris Hilton "e;That's hot"e; consciousness completely engulfed the mindset of desirable New York female forms ... once war and corruption was no longer something to fear but enjoy as entertainment on CNN ... a strategic retreat to Puerto Rico. Third-world living. Large wave surfing. A front-row seat to new madness. A clearer perspective.
