The Big Score!

Posted by southron on August 1st, 2007

After this Friday my new address will be:  El Gringo Gordo con Dos Bastones, Villa Mucho Dinero, Calle de Oro, Cabo Polonio, Rocha. (The fat Gringo with 2 canes, Big Money Villa, Golden Street, Cabo Polonio—way the heck out past Punta).
I made so much money from these websites that I am retiring.
After a year-and-a-half of […]

Cannibals

Posted by southron on July 27th, 2007

During the 27 months I was in Costa Rica I was cheated, scammed and lied to by so many people that it is hard to keep track.  However, the misadventure that is foremost in my mind happened almost immediately after my arrival there.  It was my first encounter with a real live cannibal.

One of the […]

Spanglish and Ingspañol…

Posted by southron on June 25th, 2007

After more than 16 months living in Uruguay I’ve come to the conclusion that there are least four languages in which I regularly more or less communicate. These are: English, Spanish, Spanglish and Ingspañol. (There is also a fair amount of profanity which may well have reached sufficient proportions to be considered a […]

Reincarnated and Transmigrated

Posted by southron on May 21st, 2007

While sitting here in my office and staring into the fog on the Rio de la Plata I had a vision….

At first I was in a place that seemed a pleasant enough, but no matter how hard I tried it there were always obstacles that I had to climb over–the harder I climbed, the more […]

Have I missed anything? A party? Guests? Anything at all?

Posted by southron on March 24th, 2007

If one is going to be sick I highly recommend having a fever.
A fever keeps you warm, it gently blends reality and hallucinations into a fabric that can keep you amused for hours; best of all, it’s is a wormhole in time that transports you from “before” to “after” without having to bother with all […]

I am tardy, not rude!

Posted by southron on March 11th, 2007

Right now I have the greatest number of unanswered e-mails in my inbox I’ve ever had.  Because of ongoing health problems I am not currently working the number of hours needed in order to take care of my business, UruguayLiving.com, and all my other commitments.  Consequently I prioritize my time, respond to the most urgent […]
