La Perla

I just learned how to post YouTube videos on my blog. Sorry, there is no story here. I just really love this song and want it on my blog. This is a Puerto Rican group called Calle 13 featuring Panamanian salsa singer, lawyer, and former Tourism Minister, Rubén Blades. I never get tired of this song.

About Me

I'm a 27-year-old law student at Boston University. I am originally from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and went to undergrad at the University of Mississippi - Ole Miss. I've also spent a fair amount of time living in Latin America, and I spent 2 years working for a real estate developer in the Republic of Panama. Last year I spent about 6 months as an exchange student at the national University's law school in BsAs, Argentina.

As a kid, I told my mom I wanted to have plenty of good stories to tell my grandchildren one day. A lot of Americans in my generation like to have good stories... we collect them and file them away in Facebook photo albums called "Backpacking through Europe - 2002" or "Vegas Round 2 and Other Adventures".

I’ve accumulated a number of stories, so I’ve decided to start writing a blog. I'll write about new adventures and occasionally recollect older adventures when they seem relevant.

An ex-girlfriend once told me in a moment of anger that if I took a good look at my life, I’d see that it isn’t as miraculous as I think it is. Not a very nice thing to say, but it is true that we gringos are generally not as original as we would like to believe... Of course a blog isn't really a novel idea or anything, but my future grandchildren and I like it anyway.
