Another wonderful read Angely. I thought, why don't I meant amazing people like that, and then I remembered, I don't take cabs. LOL!

I loved this story. There are so many people that are hidden gems. While in college I met a vagrant on the street that was a PURE genius. I would buy him lunch almost everyday and he would lecture me on everything imaginable including life. He had his problems but the knowledge I received from him was worth way more than what I received in my classrooms.

Keep adding stories Angely I'm loving them.
Write on!

The cabbie might very well have been a down on his luck scholar:) That's pretty par for the course in New York, yes?
So nice to see you've graced us with another of your charming shorts, Angely. Enjoyed every word of it (again!).

It's fun and crazy when you run into someone who can be so open-minded. Gosh, I've run into so many interesting people since I've started college - people I'll only see once...and I don't even know their names either.

Can't wait for your next short story!!!

very detailed. :) I agree with RebeckDawn on some things. It's sad, to be honest, but I liked it (: Your a very good writer

"Eyes" love it!
"Dictator" - El Jefe, it's unfortunate that men like that exist - and that things described in your story were just happening not to long ago (and sometimes still are...)
"Tan" - I really like the line "I continue killing him by telling the story" - so true

I really like the new editions :)

Loved to read about your relatives and their childhood. It's funny in some parts, and in others, shows the hard life they had to live through. Well done :).

Great poems and short stories, loved reading these.

These stories are always captivating - not only because you capture a good slice of the "life cake", but there's a lesson to be learned at the end of each one. I love stories that take different looks at life. 8D

I really enjoyed the book, and I am especially grateful for the translations. One day I will have to start working on my Spanish again.

Love to read it in Spanish,but it takes me so long, and I have to look up many of the words.

Ah. Tan. I don't think I read that one. At least I don't remember it.
Now I won't forget it:) Honestly, it hits me like Sedaris' works in a way. KIND of zany (love your mom's dialogue). And...Tan is good.
Another great installment in the Mercado saga.
Muchos gracias, senorita:) :) :) :)
