the boricua on the block.

About Me

mira, mira, mira:
born & raised in san juan, puerto rico, i'm still - i'm still the boricua from the block.
a nomad at heart, ive lived in puerto rico, florida, mexico, new york, montreal, toronto, and am now currently residing in buffalo. i speak fluent english, spanish, and french, and am determined to learn japanese and portuguese in the near future.
my ideal life would include a ranch in new mexico and a place by the ocean. id have a job as a jazz lounge singer, have a cow to get fresh milk from and dance at least every weekend.
i love animals sometimes more than i love human kind. social and political issues spark my interest. i read too much & like to get angry at the weekend newspaper over a good cup of coffee.

My Interests

animals, the metro toronto zoo.
debating politics & social issues.
tattoos, and fine art.
the globe & mail, reading memoirs
dancing: house, salsa, hiphop, anything.
the ocean, new york city.
arcades, foot rubs, and slow dances in the kitchen.
expensive cheeses, red bull, &
hispanic cuisine.
