Who you trying to get crazy with, ése? Don't you know I'm loco? - Cypress Hill Fernandito does not attend any type of schooling.  He plays soccer with about 5-6 teammates.  He watches YouTube Kids on occasion.  And somehow he is speaking English.  Sentences.  With the most beautiful accent that tells the world, "I speak … Continue reading No Se Habla Ingles. Right? →

Tu eres para mi, yo soy para ti - Julieta Venegas I don't suffer from anxiety.  At least I don't think I do.
