Tired on my day off.

I want to say I was tired on my day off because that´s the best explanation I can give to my terrible perfomance during my first climbing lesson. The class was on dynamic movements, meaning to go double-or-nothing when you try to reach for a holder, is either you reach more of what you can reach with a controlled move, or you fall...
So, I was tired, yes, but I could have done less biking to try and keep my energy for the class, that´s the day lesson; dynamic movements should be practiced when there´s energy to accomplish them, as in life you should take risk when you are still young and with energy. That´s my trip to Philadelphia´s bet, gain money and invest it on time, not in more money.

La mojadez.

It´s well-known what a wetback (espalda mojada) means, but untill this past month I haven´t used that expresion on its well-known sense. Before I came to the States for work, this "wetness" used to represent the clinging I had for a certain love. But now I can use it on its popular sense used among red-necks: someone that has crossed the border by river to try to get a better living.
Although I´m not illegally in this country, I´m not legally working here, actually I´m not even working, I´m just "helping my friend". I do pay taxes however, so it´s seems to be a good business for everyone.
