We are on the road. Here is a little video intro...I was gonna edit it to make it sound professional, but I decided not to because I want to give you an an experience that is raw and uncut! Plus, it’s kinda funny.

My stay in Lawrence was amazing. I surprised almost everyone. The first victim was my cousin Ronald. I knocked on his door early Wednesday morning. He opened the door, not having a clue that I was in town. All he could do was laugh and say, “You’re crazy!” (Where have I heard that before)
His girlfriend Liz was supposed to be another one of my victims, but Ronald had to go and tell her. Chismoso! Liz is super duper cool - genuine, beautiful, sweet and if I wasn’t trying to keep this blog short and sweet, I would take out my thesaurus to look for more words to describe how wonderful she is. (Shout out to La Bori AKA Fifty!) Fortunately, Ronald didn’t tell my aunt, his mom, and I was able to surprise her while she was cooking.
Most of my family found out I was here because my dad did mention it to two of my uncles, and before I could call them to make sure they didn’t say anything, the word had already spread. So, didn’t have much luck with the family.
One of the best surprises had to be on my girl Karina. Ronald, Liz and I picked her up to go out. The only thing was that I was in the trunk. So she had no clue I was in the car. Ronald drove a couple blocks from her house and then pretended that he had left his coat in the trunk. So he stopped, came around the back, opened the trunk and that’s when I got out and nonchalantly went and sat in the drivers seat. I turned around and said, “So where we going.” You should have seen her face! Loved it! Karina is one of my best friends and has a beautiful soul. Mad love for her. (Shout out to Karina!)
Competing for top surprise was also the one I pulled on my girl Mariel. We’ve never met in person, but just from the little that we’ve spoken or written to each other I can tell you that she has the best personality, and she is madd pretty yoh! (Shout-out to Mariel - Dude your super cool!) So anyways, Mariel is a bartender out in a bar in Boston. So my plan was to order a drink (relaciones intimas en la playa, hehe) and see if she would recognize me, but unfortunately while I was coming out from the bathroom, she was walking back to the to the bar - and to MY surprise, she recognized me right away. She said she screamed twice, but I think I was so caught up in the moment that I didn’t even realize it. So, yeah, that was great!
And, Finally surprising my boy Moses, Gabby and El Tico was another unforgettable moment. For Mo, we actually didn’t know exactly where he lived since he had recently moved. My cousin Ronald new where the place was, but didn’t know the exact location. We actually found it because we were able to find his car. Me and Karina went up to the apartment, but then realized we needed to be buzzed in. We didn’t have an apartment number..So, we buzzed all the apartments one by one until he finally came out (Neighbors werent too happy to be getting a buzz at 11pm at night). I tried to hide to jump out on him, but he said he saw my big o’ feet and realized it was me. LOL (Shout-out to Mo-Breezy - Este tipo es calidad -Friends that are hard to find...Only known him for a couple years, but I consider him a brother). The next day me and Ronald paid a visit to Moses’ sister Gabby and her husband George (El TIco). I asked her cousin Manuela, who actually lives in Tampa to give me her address and to call her to see if she was home. (Shout-out to Manuela - mi cariño ;) ) She confirmed for me so Ronald and I headed over there. (to be continued...Tired of writing...Still a lot to be told about my stay in Lawrence, so if I haven't mentioned you yet, believe me I will...more photos too)
