Hispanic Heritage

Love

... How I would love you, 

love you as no one ever did!

Die and still

love you more.

And still

love you more

and more.

-Pablo Neruda

Pablo Neruda wrote that poem (only a piece of which is quoted above) for a woman he loved, but today I dedicate it to a land I love; the land of my parents. My orgullo is for my patria and for all who celebrate with me Hispanic Heritage this month and all year around. 

It's a Raqy world!

Allow me to introduce myself… I’m Raqy (pronounced Rah-Key, not Rock-Y, and you have to make sure you roll that R … Rrrrrah-key. All together now… RRRRAQY. Good!) I have decided that it is time I put my ideas out there, even if no one is listening. This blog will be a reflection of my ideas, opinions, values, political view points, and just random crap that I find interesting. I am new to this whole blogging thing so please go easy on this poor virgin (for now). Also, I would love to know what you all find interesting and important so I ask you to please share your ideas with me. I promise if they are stupid I will only laugh a little. With that very short (and now as I re-read I realize not very informative) introduction allow me to present my depiction of a very Raqy (this time you can pronounce it as Rock-Y) world!
