LA SANTA MUERTE - SAINT DEATH


Cuando la esperanza muere, cierta gente recurre a la SANTA MUERTE. Este fin de semana tenia que enviar un correo electrónico de emergencia y como mi celular se quedo sin batería, pare brevemente en un café con internet. En eso pasa un señor por la calle cargando en sus hombros a La SANTA MUERTE y se detuvo en la calle a descansar. Me levante y le pregunte que si le podía tomar unas foto al santo y me dijo que si. Me conto que la acababa de comprar, le había costado 100 dólares y la llevaba a su casa en donde le había hecho un altar. Me contó que la economía se había puesto muy dura en el país y con una esposa enferma de cáncer, le orillo a pedir ayuda a la SANTA MUERTE. Me dijo que la SANTA MUERTE es muy cumplidora, pero que todo te cobra y no perdona nada. Le pregunte que había pedido y me dijo que eso no me podía decir, que era un trato entre la SANTA MUERTE y el. Solo me dijo que lo viera bien, que no se me olvidara su cara, porque muy pronto el mundo entero iba a saber de el. Me dio la mano, se despidio y siguió subiendo el cerro con La Santa Muerte es sus brazos.

When hope dies, certain people turn to SAINT DEATH. This weekend I had to send an emergency email and my phone battery ran out, so I stop briefly at an Internet café. Suddenly a man who was walking on the street and carrying on his shoulders the SAINT DEATH stopped to rest. I got up and asked him if I could take a picture at the Saint and I said sure. He said that he had just bought it for $100 and he was taking it to his house where he had built an altar for it. He told me that due to the harsh economy in the country and a wife with cancer, he opted for Saint Death’s help. He explained to me that the SAINT DEATH is very helpful but doesn't forgives anything and it comes with a high price. I asked him what he had asked for, and he said he couldn't tell me, that that was a deal between the SAINT DEATH and him. He only said, to take a good look at him, and don't forget his face, because very soon the entire world would know who he is. He shook my hand, and continue on his journey up hill with the DEATH SAINT on his arms.

TENGO UN AMIGO MUY CODO - I HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS VERY STINGY


Tengo un amigo muy codo y me debía una comida por una apuesta que perdio. Yo crei que no iba a cumplir, pero que equivocado estaba. Ayer me llama y me dice que vaya a su casa, que va a cumplir su deuda. Llegue a su casa y saca dos hamburguesas de esas de $1.00. Me dice "no tengo papitas pero la hamburguesa tiene queso doble y todo los powers." Después supe que tomo el queso de su compañero de cuarto. Me saca un vaso gigante y me dice "tengo Sprite, fresquesita camarada, casi de manantial." Y pense, bueno pues de perdida me lleno de soda. Veo que saca de su refri un pichelon de Sprite y le dije, "Y eso, porque la tienes en pichel, se le va a salir el gas." Y me dice, "Cuando fui por las hamburguesas me lleve el pichelon vacio y lo deje en el carro. Ordene dos hamburguesas y un vaso con agua. Llenaba el vaso con Sprite y hacia viajes al carro hasta que lo llene, esta soda esta recien ordenadita Cabron." Sea como sea, si cumplió con su deuda.

I have a friend who is very stingy and he owed me a meal for a lost bet. I believed that he wouldn't pay, but I was wrong. Yesterday, he called and asked me to go to his house, that he would honor his debt. I get there and he takes out two of those $1.00 hamburguers. He says "I have no fires but it has double cheese and all the Powers. Later I learned that he took the cheese from his roommate. He then takes out a giant pitcher and says" I have Sprite, fresh Sprite comrade, almost like spring water. "And I thought, well, I'll fill up with soda. He gets a big pitcher of Sprite out of the fridge and I said, "whats is that? why is it in a pitcher?, it is going to lose the gas." And he said, "When I went for the hamburgers I took an empty pitcher and left it in the car. I ordered a cup for water. I'd fill it with Sprite and made trips to the car until I filled the pitcher, this soda is fresh man. "Whatever he did, i guess he met his debt.
