Hi There!

If you are new here welcome. I've been blogging online since MySpace, but I officially started this site in 2010.

I am brutally honest here. I share the good and the bad. I write in English, Spanish, Spanglish, and Portuguese.

My Twitter account will be changing to 95% wedding related content, so I'm moving all my opinions and observations here. There are so many things happening in the world right now, I can no longer balance my wedding tweets and my personal tweets anymore.

I'm going to write about the problems with the police dealing with black and brown people. I'm going to also be more vocal about climate change and issues with water conservation.

I will always be myself. Sometimes I get really enojada and go off. This is my corner of the Internet and I get to decide what stays and what goes. I do like respectful debating, but if I decide you are un bendejo, adiós. Forever.

I am happy to share my world with you. I believe in the power of social media. I believe in humanity. Mucho gusto.

Bienvenido (welcome),
Monica

Trayvon Martin

Justice for Trayvon Martin. A bag of Skittles and an iced tea are not weapons. Arrest George Zimmerman.

Prosecute the killer of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin

Greetings,
I'm writing you today to call for justice for Trayvon Martin and his family.

Trayvon Martin was only 17 years old when he was gunned down by the Neighborhood Watch captain George Zimmerman. All Trayvon did was go to the store to get his brother some Skittles.

According to police, George Zimmerman admitted to the shooting and killing of Trayvon Martin. Why has he not been charged and his case been handed over to prosecutors?

Trayvon Martin was unarmed when he was shot by Zimmerman. All he had in his hands was some candy when he was followed and approached by Zimmerman - who ignored instructions from police not to confront the young man.

Please uphold justice.

Sincerely,
Monica G.
