It has been awhile, yes but my focus has been on me. Oh good lord above let me think about me. In life really what and who is most important? YOU and only you really. Sure we have family commitments but in the end it is YOU.
So right now it is me. And searching for work has proved to be a tad more difficult than I thought, although I knew it would be a task. But not this hard!! Things though are looking on the positive side and I will be pulling in those almighty dollars again soon. It has been rather a bummer of an experience. If any of you out there are 60 and beyond who do not have “credentials” behind them, be prepared to sell yourself like you have never ever done before. This is a job and you will not get paid for it!!
I titled this post “my blog is about me & what makes me tick” because that is exactly what it is. Nothing more. I do not deem to change the world. I am hurt by what goes on some times. I find little in the news that makes me happy and that is why I turn away from most news.  At times I am confused, I am happy, I am passionate, I am mad, I am sad, I am a lover, I am a friend, I am me, I am free. I dance, I drink, I smoke, I sing, I laugh with friends, I conquer the world in a night, I do all those things.
And I dream about returning to Cuba to see my friends, which I intend to do in the next couple of months. That is where I am the happiest. I ask myself why? And I have no answer. What is it that Cuba shows me that I do not have here? I have family, friends and lovers if I choose. But what continues to draw me to Cuba? The passion of life is my only answer. Never anywhere have I experienced the same passion. It is captivating. It will encompass you and if you are not careful, will swallow you. But Cuba will not swallow me. Cuba is going to continue to enlighten me and I will continue to return until she no longer desires to do that.
