Unable to Title This Post Properly

For some reason, I am unable to come up with the proper title for this post. Earlier this week I created several personalized cartoons of myself using photos taken during some of my travels to visit family and friends. 

This picture cartoon in particular, was taken while shooting at one of my favorite tourist locations at Muelle de la Libertad in el Poblado de Boqueron. During the past three years, I have visited this area dozens of times. My favorite picture so far, it's one I took during sunset hours. I will post a copy of it at the end of this post.

I can't understand why a personalized cartoon picture looks so much better than the dozen or more images taken with several digital cameras in a particular location. I just goggled this question, and received this response, "personalized cartoons often look better than photos because they simplify, exaggerate, and idealize reality, removing distracting, imperfect, or mundane details."

Maybe Google is correct, but to me, a personalized cartoon picture allows me to create a unique image that represents my personality. And that is what I am trying to convey on my blog. I am going to continue adding my real pictures, but if I can write a post using cartoons, I'll use them too.

My Personalized Motorcycle AI Cartoon


I have to confess that creating my first Al (Artificial Intelligence) personalized cartoon of my 2010 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 and my 1978 Kawasaki KZ 1000 LTD, has been both a blessing and a curse. I love playing with the app. I am hooked, but who can blame me?

The United States and Iran Are On The Brink of War


Just recently, Trump threatened to attack Iran if they killed protesters. Here is a newsflash for you, Trump's fascist tyrannical regime shot and killed American citizens protesting ICE. In my opinion, one of the most patriotic things anyone can do is protest and hold our government accountable.

During the presidential campaign, Trump called himself the "President of Peace" and campaigned on a platform of ending foreign conflicts. Since then, he invaded Venezuela, threatened Panama, Canada, Cuba and Greenland. Trump is currently moving aircraft carriers and hundreds of aircrafts into position in the Middle East.

The difference this time is that the Iranian leadership appears to be even more deluded than Donald Trump faithful MAGA kool-aid drinkers and their thirst for war. Trump's authoritarian tactics could use the Iran war to deflect the attention from the Supreme Court tariffs debacle, and the Epstein Files cover-up.

The Supreme Court Strikes Down The "Stable Genius" Tariffs


The decision is a stinging defeat for the Orange Turd. Three conservative justices voted against him in an extraordinary 6-3 decision earlier today.

The Supreme Court basically told the "Stable Genius" that his tariffs are illegal, and that he violated federal law when he unilaterally imposed sweeping tariffs across the world. And while doing so, the Orange Turd alienated all the United States allies for literally nothing.

In my opinion, even though the damage is done, Trump should give a refund to all the small business he hurt. Unfortunately, the prices are not going to go down. More than likely the greedy corporations will still keep the prices higher.

This is what happens when you elect a convicted felon who calls himself a "Stable Genius". Trump is an economic moron. Our tyrannical fascist regime illegally collected billions of dollars from the American people.

Reborn: 1975 Kawasaki Z1-900


In 1984, I was reaching the one-year mark of living and getting used to a new life in Brooklyn, NY. At that point I decided to purchase a used motorcycle in order to get around. In New York cars are not needed since public transportation is very efficient. Besides, my goal was to continue saving enough money to attend Motorcycle Mechanics Institute school.

What initially began as a beat up half-dead 1975 Kawasaki Z1-900 platform, ended up as a KZ-1015cc to be exact.  And I bet you cannot tell the bike was spray-painted in my living room using spray cans paint. Those were the good old days.

My sister visited me in 1987 and took a picture with my pride and joy.

Saint Peter The Apostle Said ....


Saint Peter The Apostle Said ....

"Trump's mentioned more times in the Epstein files than Jesus is mentioned in the Bible."

Ivonne Acosta Lespier, Sin Mordazas


Ayer me entere que hace unos dias fallecio una persona brillante, sumamente inteligente y una de las mejores escritoras que ha dado Mayaguez y Puerto Rico en los ultimos tiempos. Ivonne Acosta Lespier es la  autora del libro La Mordaza: Puerto Rico 1948-1957. En mi opinion, La Mordaza (The Gag Law - The Attempt to Crush the Independence Movement in Puerto Rico - 1948-1957) deberia ser lectura obligatoria para todos los puertorriqueños.

Acosta Lespier fue catedratica de Humanidades e Historia en la Universidad del Turabo durante dos decadas. Fungio como profesora de Historia de Puerto Rico a nivel de Maestria en el Centro de Estudios Avanzados de Puerto Rico y el Caribe. Despunto como miembro fundador de la Asociacion Puertorriqueña de Historiadores, y ostento la presidencia de la Seccion de Historia del Ateneo Puertorriqueño durante 12 años.

Recuerdo haberla encontrado en la blogosfera en el 2010 cuando me uni a una comunidad de blogs de Puerto Rico llamado "PuertoBlogs". Me fascino de la manera que escribia eventos historicos de politica en Puerto Rico, e immediatamente comenze a seguir su blog titulado "Desahogo Boricua" en Blogspot. Siempre le tiraba el ojo a su blog a ver si habia escrito algo nuevo ya que su ultimo aporte fue en el 2019 cuando el pueblo se levanto y saco a Ricky Rosello de la gobernacion.

Que En Paz Descanse.
