Rumors plague sorority house concerns Coral Gables brothel law proves nonexistent

BY ERIKA GLASS COPY EDITOR

The question of having sorority houses at UM is one that has been answered with many rumors throughout the years.

The most salacious of these specu-

lations is that the city of Coral Gables has a law stating that a residence with seven or more women is considered a brothel. According to the city of Coral Gables’ municipal codes, there is no such law.

Tony Lake, associate dean of students and director of judicial affairs, believes that it all goes back to a supposed agreement between sororities to not build houses.

“The issue with the houses right now is that back when the Panhellenic building was built, the sororities that were here at the time, created a compact that basically said they agreed together … that once they did this that none of them would seek to build a house off-campus unless all them could seek to build a house off-campus,” he said.

The University of Miami quidditch team is a top contender to win the sixth annual Quidditch World Cup, according to predictions made by the Huffington Post. University teams from Canada, Mexico, France and all over the United States will compete Saturday and Sunday in Kissimmee, Fla., in what is expected to be an intense fight for the golden trophy.

Recent predictions published in Huffington Post predicted UM will win, despite the fact that the team has never won a World Cup. The Hurricanes are currently ranked at No. 11 by the International Quidditch Association, after placing first in regionals March 1 and 2.

“We’re a strong team, and we know our region well, so we were very confident that we’d have no problem advancing,” junior Stephen Ralph said.

Ralph plays the position of keeper, who guards the three goal posts on his side of the field. He has been playing on the team since his first semester freshman year. He is looking forward to competing on Saturday.

“Our sights are far more set in the world cup championship,” Ralph said.

Junior Ali Fishman, UM’s quidditch president, is uncertain yet optimistic about the Huffington Post’s prediction.

“I don’t know, it all depends on a lot of things,” Fishman said. “I’m being optimistic, and I’m going to say yes. But, internally I’m just freaking out a little bit.”

The team was founded in spring 2010 and has been recognized as a club sport for about a year and a half.

Quidditch is a full-contact sport. It is a loose mixture of rugby and dodgeball. Fishman realizes it’s not all fun and games.

“We have teams that are basically out to hurt us,” Fishman said.

Alumnus launches EDM-inspired clothing line Ravee Apparel for students on the go

BY SKYLAR FRISCH CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

Last year, Ryan Simone was struggling with what many college seniors are struggling with today – finding a job after graduation. But last year during his senior year at UM, Simone embraced his inner entrepreneur when he came up with an idea for his EDM-inspired clothing line, Ravee Apparel.

Simone’s inspiration for Ravee Apparel (RA) came after losing his phone at Ultra Music Festival two years in a row.

“Frustrated, I wanted to develop a way to better secure my valuables,” he said. “I came to realize it wasn’t just at Ultra – the gym, beach, tailgates – I was stuck juggling these items.”

The Morristown, N.J., native found that after four years in Miami, 2

tank tops became a staple in his wardrobe.

“Developing one with nonvisible zipper compartments seemed like a great idea,” Simone said. “After a year of hard work and bringing my roommate, Andreas King-Geovanis, on board, Ravee Apparel is open for business.”

Ravee Apparel combines style and function.

“Two hidden zipper compartments allow you to secure your keys, wallet, smartphone and any other belongings,” Simone said. “Best of all, our pockets don’t bulge or flop around so you can keep your hands free and valuables safe.”

Especially since he graduated last May, Simone attributes much of his company’s success to his UM education.

“UM’s diverse student body has taught me to approach a problem from several different perspectives,” Simone said.

The student body has not only influenced his problem solving, but

THE MIAMI HURRICANE

also driven his business, whose “target market consists of active, collegeaged individuals,” Simone said.

Simone was an economics major in the School of Business with a minor in art history.

“In the business school, I took several marketing classes that have helped immensely,” he said.

But it wasn’t just what he learned in the classroom that brought Ravee to life. Simone took advantage of the resources around him and turned to the LaunchPad for help.

The LaunchPad gave him the initial framework to turn his idea into a prototype and eventually a business.

“My adviser helped me develop a step-by-step plan to find production, file for patents, and bring my product to market,” he said. “Far more valuable, the LaunchPad gave me the confidence to pursue entrepreneurship as a career. Without their guidance, I doubt Ravee Apparel would be open today.”

After launching the company last week through Kickstarter.com,

April 10 - April 14, 2013

a crowd-funding platform, Ravee is quickly approaching $10,000 in orders from around the world.

For its next step, Ravee is looking to expand to retail stores.

“Right now we are working on a few potential deals with retailers in South Beach and Atlantic City, N.J.,” Simone said.

Ravee offers a variety of designs and graphics that can be viewed on its webpage. In addition to pre-made designs, the company can also offer custom designs and prints for fraternities, sororities and any other organization looking for this sort of apparel.

“Through dye sublimation printing, our designs won’t crack or fade like traditional silk-screened clothing,” Simone said.

COMMUNITY

Damas de Blanco leader honored Inaugural gala presents awards

BY ASHLEY MARTINEZ COPY EDITOR

Every Sunday, mothers, daughters and wives dress in white to attend mass and set out on their mission. After the service, the Damas de Blanco head toward Fifth Avenue in Havana to silently protest the unjust incarceration of their relatives and the lack of basic human rights in Cuba.

The head of Damas de Blanco, or ladies in white, is Berta Soler, who will be honored by the University of Miami’s Institute for Cuban and Cuban-American Studies (ICCAS) with the Cuba Freedom Fighter Award on May 17 during the institute’s inaugural gala at the Coral Gables Country Club.

“They are the most visible group in Cuba,” said Jaime

Every Sunday they defy the regime and walk the streets of Cuba. They are courageous. They’re women and I felt she deserved this award.

Jaime Suchlicki, Director of University of Miami’s Institute for Cuban and Cuban American Studies

Suchlicki, director of ICCAS. “Every Sunday they defy the regime and walk the streets of Cuba. They are courageous. They’re women and I felt she deserved this award.”

The Damas de Blanco were formed as a result of the “Black Spring,” a time during March 2003 when 75 independent journalists, human rights defenders and independent librarians were

arrested, tried and sentenced to up to 28 years in prison.

The Committee to Protect Journalists saw the Black Spring as a violation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, including Article 19 which guarantees everyone the right to “seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice.”

Soler left the country for Spain this March with an exit visa given to Cuban dissidents to allow them to travel abroad for the first time. Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez is currently on a tour of the U.S. on a similar permit.

Soler will be visiting Miami in late April and May. However, her attendance at the gala has yet to be confirmed.

During the gala, two CubanAmericans will also be honored.

The institute will be awarding

noted writer and columnist Carlos Alberto Montaner with the Cuban-American Scholar Award.

Felipe Valls, owner and founder of Versailles and La Carreta restaurants, will receive the Mambí Award because of his contributions to the community and to Cuba and for preserving its history.

The award derives its name from the people who fought during the war for Cuba’s independence from Spain from 1895-1898.

“It is done in the community to offer respect and recognition to individuals that contribute with their life experiences or successes or dignified procedures and faced all sorts of difficulties and have become what they are,” said Pedro Roig, senior research associate of ICCAS. This will be the first event of its kind hosted by the institute, and 400 to 500 people are expected to attend. Drinks will be served at 7 p.m. and dinner will follow at 8 p.m.

Analyzing the movement Since the Black Spring that unjustly imprisoned Cubans citizens, the Damas de Blanco have embarked on a journey to protest the wrong behavior while representing peace in an attempt to liberate their loved ones.

PALMSUNDAY | 2005

APRIL | 2003 The Cuban government arrested, tried and sentenced 75 independent journalists, human rights defenders and independent librarians. Two weeks after the arrest, the Damas de Blanco group was formed to symbolize peace while silently protesting.

The pro-government Federation of Cuban Women (Federación de Mujeres Cubanas) sent 150 women to counter-protest the group.

2010 Cardinal Jaime Lucas Ortega y Alamino intervened on behalf of the group allowing them to protest outside of his church and decrease the number of mobs that have attacked the Damas.

NEWS BRIEFS PETITION The University of Miami’s Student Government (SG) has collected more than 2,000 signatures in the petition circulating to begin work on the University Metrorail Station Pedestrian Overpass project. The petition signatures are aimed at the Coral Gables University Centre Plaza owners, who have rejected $1.8 million in exchange for the five parking spaces at the plaza needed to start the project. The Ashley Kelly Pedestrian Bridge would be built at the intersection of U.S. 1 and Mariposa Court. It was proposed in 2006 after the death of UM student Ashley Kelly eight years ago. To sign the petition, visit tinyurl.com/us1overpass.

MEMORIAL A memorial for the eighth anniversary of the death of UM student Ashley Kelly will be held at 4 p.m.

Friday at the University Metrorail stop in order to bring attention to the issue and ask the community to sign the petition being circulated by Student Government.

Student leaders will speak in support of having the University Centre Plaza owners reconsider their decision. Kelly’s parents will also be in attendance. For more information about the event, email SG Chief of Staff Mike Piacentino at m.piacentino@umiami.edu.

International contest provides second chance for team QUIDDITCH FROM PAGE 1

One of these teams in particular, Fishman noted, is Louisiana State University, which is currently ranked No. 28.

Fishman said there is a reason for the animosity.

“We’re just too good, and people can’t stand it,” she said.

UM quidditch has only lost two games in the past year and half, and this is the second time the team makes its way to the World Cup. Last year, it attended World Cup V in New York. Unlike previous years where anyone could sign up and attend, the 2013 World Cup

teams were selected based on regional rankings.

UM, which is a three-time southern regional champion, automatically qualified.

Fishman was quick to note that the game is only loosely based on the books, despite the fact that the game of quidditch is derived from J.K. Rowling’s famous Harry Potter series. Fishman also said that the stereotype that all players are Potterheads is false.

“It is completely untrue, and I want to punch anyone who says that,” she said. “Some people play because they want to play a sport, they want to exercise or they’re just Harry Potter fans.”

The sixth Quidditch World Cup will be

held at the Austin-Tindall Park. The tournament will feature performances from wizard rock band Harry and the Potters and Team StarKid members Joey Richter, Brian Rosenthal and Joe Moses, who starred in “A Very Potter Musical” four years ago.

International and local teams alike have taken to the Internet this year, using IndieGoGo to raise funds to travel to the tournament. The UM team had raised $1,115 as of Wednesday evening, with a goal of $2,500.

Freshman Nina Fernandini, who has been on the team since last semester, is looking forward to being a part of this year’s World Cup. “I’m really, really excited,” she said.

April 10 - April 14, 2013

For some team members, this tournament is about making up for last year’s loss during the first bracket round in the World Cup. “Last year we were robbed by losing far earlier than we should when we knew we were the better team,” Ralph said. “I’m very excited to get out there and play.”

The IndieGoGo campaign is open until Friday. To donate to the team, visit indiegogo.com/projects/canesto-the-cup.

Finances, time constraints hamper sorority housing SORORITY FROM PAGE 1

According to Lake, if this agreement exists, the Panhellenic groups would have had to vote on it every three years in order to keep it in the books.

“You’re talking about 80 years’ worth of history and agreements and codes and rules and land and people and ideas and things that all has to be dug through,” said Steve Priepke, assistant dean of students and director of Greek life. “I think that it doesn’t happen because it’s logistically very difficult.”

Priepke also noted the significance of the amount of money it would take for sororities to have a house. According to Priepke, the project of building sorority houses would take millions of dollars, and it is very unlikely that the national chapters would be able to support a house, mort-

gage and Coral Gables taxes.

Building these houses off-campus would also touch neighborhood agree-

We’re not a very catty community and I think a chunk of that has to do with the fact that we don’t have houses and we don’t have that culture associated with our community.

Michaela Hennessy, Panhellenic president and KKG Marshal

ments that state that the University of Miami is not going to be building more student housing.

According to Coral Gables zoning codes, however, sorority housing is permissible under the campus sub-areas zoning district.

“The reality is none of this would ever happen in the life cycle of a student,” Lake said. “So who’s going to carry the charge once the students who are pushing it … leave?”

Ultimately, the absence of sorority houses falls on traditions and philosophies set in place by the original Panhellenic council. According to an email from Vice President Emeritus William Butler, it was originally agreed that a Panhellenic House would be built and financed by the sororities so that the groups could have meeting places on campus.

“The philosophy in those days was that UM was a ‘finishing school’ for young ladies and that they were required to live

in residence halls on campus,” said Butler, who also served as the vice president for student affairs from 1965 to 1997. “They had to sign in and out, and there was a ‘house mother’ assigned to every floor to make sure the ladies adhered to the rules outlined in ‘The Little Green Book’ published by the Dean of Women.”

Current Panhellenic President and Kappa Kappa Gamma Marshal Michaela Hennessy said she appreciates the Panhellenic culture.

“For me the fact that we don’t have houses has really helped us,” Hennessy said. “We’re not a very catty community, and I think a chunk of that has to do with the fact that we don’t have houses and we don’t have that culture associated with our community … I think it makes everybody’s life a little less stressful.”

Wendy Walk carries legacy of liposarcoma fighter Memorial to honor Wendy Landes

BY ALEXANDER GONZALEZ ASSISTANT EDITOR

Wendy Landes, the symbol for the annual Wendy Walk that raises funds for liposarcoma, passed away this March.

“She was an incredible human being,” said Alex Norton, a member

of the Wendy Walk executive board.

“She lived life to the fullest and never pitied herself.”

A memorial service for Landes will be held before the walk begins at 11 a.m. Sunday in Palm Island Park in Miami Beach. With 400 participants already pre-registered, Norton anticipates that 700 participants will attend compared to last year’s 500 participants.

The Wendy Walk and the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative

THE MIAMI HURRICANE

are the only two international efforts that raise money for liposarcoma research. Liposarcoma is a rare form of tissue cancer that results in the growth of malignant soft tissue tumors, usually in the abdominal cavity and extremities. The disease has no cure, but its symptoms are treatable.

The walk is held annually in New York City, Los Angeles and Miami. Landes’ three kids each lead one of the three walks. Senior Jackie Landes hosts the Miami run and won

April 10 - April 14, 2013

the UM Student Distinction Award for her efforts in Wendy Walk.

Throughout the walk’s four years, the siblings have raised $1.3 million.

“We’re more determined to make it bigger,” Norton said. “We’re fighting for Wendy’s memory and the others who live with liposarcoma.”

Free transportation from Stanford Drive will be available for students attending the Wendy Walk.

The results of a silent auction will be

announced at an after party in Brickell.

Coaches should mentor, not bully Last Wednesday, the Rutgers basketball head coach Mike Rice was fired after the release of a video showing him throwing basketballs at his players, physically abusing them, and yelling degrading slurs.

However, Rice was not fired on the spot. He was initially only suspended for three games, fined and ordered to enroll in anger management classes.

Then, the video went viral, and the public became outraged that the university kept Rice as the head coach. Soon after, the athletic director resigned, and an assistant coach resigned.

Now, Rutgers wants the university president Robert Barchi to follow suit and leave. More than 50 professors have signed a petition for the firing of Barchi, but the president has yet to be ousted.

Being a student-athlete is a demanding commitment that can entail aggressive coaching tactics.

But, there is a difference between aggressive coaching and abusive coaching. Rice crossed the line a long time ago.

Professional NBA superstars LeBron James and Kobe Bryant agree.

James tweeted, “If my son played for Rutgers or a coach like that, he would have some real explaining to do, and I’m still gone whoop on him afterwards!

C’mon.”

Bryant’s tweet followed, “That’s not coaching, that’s a power trip. At a minimum, it’s horrible coaching.”

If professional athletes are shocked at the way Rice treated his team, then that goes to show how absurd his coaching style is.

There is no need for a coach to abuse his power in order to gain the respect of his players.

Although the video made its way through social media and national television in the last few

weeks, Rice must have been abusing of his players months before that. This coaching style didn’t happen overnight.

It’s a problem when studentathletes are being mistreated and choose to stay silent because they fear the consequences of speaking, don’t know who to speak out to, know their voices won’t matter, or think it’s OK. Rice’s job was to coach a team of student-athletes who decided to attend Rutgers University to play basketball. His job wasn’t to call them fa***ts, hit them or hurl objects at their faces to “motivate them” to be better players.

Rice did everything but coach his team. The players at Rutgers deserve a coach that mentors, not a bully that demoralizes.

Seeking alternative funds for tuition ver the past few years, there has been a steady rise in tuition and a decline in financial aid. Unfortunately, this is going to continue.

When looking at your financial aid package this summer, you may see that the dollar amount of scholarships and grants that you usually receive has decreased, or your aid is just not stretching as far as it used to. But, loan options will

O

never be missing.

“Take out loans” is a common phrase that students hear when talking to their financial advisors. But, loans should not be a first resort because there are other ways to pay for your tuition.

Working on campus or in the community to offset your expenses is one way. It’s not ideal, but if you’re really serious about graduating with as little debt as possible, you will do whatever you need to do to make it happen.

An Associated Collegiate Press Hall of Fame Newspaper

Donations are another way to fund your education. There are many websites dedicated to this, and setting up an account is relatively easy. Family and friends are usually willing to help in anyway they can.

The scholarship search shouldn’t stop once you get to college. There are scholarship search engine websites such as fastweb.com and scholarships.com that are extremely helpful. It’s as simple as filling out an online profile with your academic history, demographics and other miscellaneous information. Then the site matches you with several scholarships that fit your description.

Google is another way to find grants and scholarships in the community, as well as checking on our university website. Several organizations may also be giving out some free money.

If you never ask, the answer will always be no.

If you want to get through your undergraduate degree with the least amount of debt, creativity and persistence can make that happen.

to make visit to UM

BY STEPHANIE PARRA NEWS EDITOR

Writer and producer Mike Henry makes others laugh for a living. Henry not only is a voice cast member for “Family Guy,” but he is also the co-creator, executive producer and a voice HENRY cast member of “The Cleveland Show.”

Henry, who grew up in Virginia, attended Collegiate School. He later attended Washington and Lee University.

His brother, on the other hand, attended Rhode Island School of Design. Henry acted in his brother’s short films and met Seth MacFarlane.

Later, when MacFarlane sold “Family Guy” to Fox, he asked Henry to help him work on the show. Now, Henry keeps himself busy working on “Family Guy” and “The Cleveland Show.” He has also had appearances on “Gilmore Girls” and “Robot Chicken.”

Henry’s never been to Miami, and after his agent suggested he visit, he took the opportunity. He will talk about the animation process and his experiences in Hollywood when he visits campus on Monday.

Henry took the time to speak to The Miami Hurricane and talk about how he got involved in comedy and showbiz.

The Miami Hurricane: Is there a line you guys try not to cross when writing the comic scenes for the show?

Mike Henry: There are things, personally, that I wouldn’t want to do. Like make fun of a cancer kid, but I think that’s kind of the merit of “Family Guy.” It’s really all up to Seth. I think sometimes he’ll say some things that are too personally harsh, like when the spaceship Challenger blew up, he wouldn’t do jokes about that.

So sometimes, we’ll pull back, but for the most part, like I said, if it’s funny, we’ll just go for it.

TMH: Do you ever feel sometimes, maybe under-recognized because it’s your voice on camera and not your face?

MH: Um, no, not at all I think. It’s actually kind of a blessing because, you know, I can step out into the general public and rarely get recognized. I think when it’s a more “Family Guy” specific event, then I’m more of a celebrity. But, I don’t have to deal with things that Seth and people with a larger on-camera career have to deal with. Also, I should say, I’m going to be on camera in the near future; I’m getting a movie together that I’m going to be in, and that’ll be my introduction in a lot of ways, although I do have 15 years of doing something that people know, although they don’t necessarily know my face.

TMH: You’ve done some other work, too. You’ve been on “Gilmore Girls” and “Robot Chicken.” Can you tell me more about that?

MH: I’ve done some acting and it’s mostly been through people that I know.

I voice-acted on “Robot Chicken” through Seth Green; I was on “Gilmore Girls” a few times because one of the producers

knew me from “Family Guy.” I’ve done other little shows ... I was in the movie “Ted.” I’ve done live action a little bit here and there, but nothing that I’ll get stopped on the street for.

TMH: What’s been your favorite thing to work for, and what do you hope to work for in the future?

MH: I love working on animated shows. It’s great fun, because you could kind of do anything, and you can do terrible things, you can do hilarious things and get away with it because it’s all animated.

But I really want to get into live action.

That’s really where I think my future is; my passion’s there.

TMH: Can you tell me a little bit about how you got the role as Cleveland on “Family Guy” and how that turned into its own show?

MH: Sure! At the very beginning of “Family Guy,” Seth had the family figured out. We just needed some friends for Peter, and I had recently just played basketball with this dude in Virginia, actually, who I just started imitating with the “Family Guy” writers around and that was Cleveland, you know, kind of just a low-key guy, an easy-going guy. The writers laughed at it, and we just kind of developed him. Cleveland, I just found, I pitched so much Cleveland stuff that there was no time for it in “Family Guy,” and kind of the universe lined up at the right time. And we thought, here’s the perfect guy for a spin-off, so that’s kind of where that came from.

TMH: Do you have any words of wis-

April 10 - April 14, 2013

dom or words of inspiration for any aspiring college student who may want to get into the film industry or maybe into the animated cartoon industry?

MH: Yeah, absolutely. I think you’ll find at the talk, that’s actually what a lot of the talk will end up being. I will talk a bit about how I got to work with the show ...

It was shortly after college that I realized all I wanted to do was be funny ... it was basically eight long years before “Family Guy” ever happened ... there was a lot of struggle, a lot of questioning myself, and a lot of perseverance before I got a break.

That’s going to be a lot of what I talk about: following your passion, because you only live once, and you’ve got to do what makes you happy.

Top-ranked UNC, No. 9 Duke in town to face Miami Canes put win streak to the test this weekend

BY KRISTEN SPILLANE SENIOR SPORTS WRITER

Think men’s basketball is the only team that can steal the spotlight?

Think again.

The Hurricanes women’s tennis team is rising like the temperature of this Miami springtime.

Ranked 10th in the nation by the ITA, UM (15-3, 6-1 ACC) is on a nine-match winning streak. The Canes are set to take on the top-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels and No. 9 Duke Blue Devils this coming weekend at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center.

“It’s amazing. Playing in this conference prepares you – we have a dual-match

against the No. 1 team in the country, we have [another] dual-match two days later against a top-10 team in the country,” coach Paige Yaroshuk-Tews said. “[The ACC is] the best conference to play in, because you know you’re playing the best every weekend, and your ACC tournament could potentially be a quarterfinal match at the NCAA tournament.”

Miami is currently the conference’s top team, though North Carolina (19-2, 5-1 ACC) leads in overall wins.

“These kids are used to playing a high level of tennis all season long as opposed to some programs that are coming from weaker conferences, and they are very good teams, they’re very dangerous teams, but they’re not used to playing at such a high level on a consistent basis,” Yaroshuk-Tews said.

UM has established a base of young

players, including several international stars.

The Hurricanes are anchored by freshman Stephanie Wagner of Amberg, Germany who is undefeated in her past five matches as the No. 1 singles seed. Wagner, 18-3 on the season, has jumped 25 spots from No. 104 to No. 79 in the national singles rankings.

Joining Wagner among the nation’s top collegiate players are Florida’s own Kelsey Laurente, a freshman from Miramar at No. 81, and No. 121 Clementina Riobueno, a freshman from Barquisimeto, Venezuela.

Riobueno also boasts an impressive record with 18 wins.

So what could be more daunting than a Hurricane on the court?

Two Hurricanes.

Three of UM’s doubles pairs are also climbing the national rankings. Wagner, who partners with sophomore Lina Lileikite, curApril 10 - April 14, 2013

rently stands at No. 39. The rookie/veteran combination of Laurente and junior Brittany Dubins occupies the 77th spot in the rankings, followed closely by the No. 79 couple of Riobueno and junior Melissa Bolivar.

“We have to stay in the present and we have to have short-term memories,” Yaroshuk-Tews said of the challenging weekend ahead. “I tell the girls all the time, short-term memories. Whether you win or whether you lose, it’s over, and we’ve got another day to prepare for.

The action kicks off at 5 p.m. Friday against the No. 1 Tar Heels. Fans in attendance will enjoy a complimentary BBQ dinner provided by Brother Jimmy’s – while supplies last – and a chance to take their photo with the men’s basketball 2013 ACC Championship trophy.

dear ...

Dear V: Wedding bell blues are ruining my Latin spice...

Dear Bilingual Betty, , No quisiera publicar mi vida pero tengo que hacerlo porque este hijo de puta me ha destruido. Nosotros no íbamos a casar pero él se enamoro con la que estaba con mi amigo Daniel pero se tuvieron que separar porque ella pensaba que Daniel era gay.

Entonces, el me dejo en el altar en el día de mis sueños. Como yo puedo regresar de este momento?

Encontrando Esperanza Translation: I would not like to reveal my life, but I have to do this because this son of a bitch just destroyed me. We were going to get married, but he fell in love with the girl who was dating my friend Daniel. Daniel and she had to break up because she thought Daniel was gay. Anyway, this guy left me at the altar, the day of my dreams. How can I move on?

Finding Hope

Muchas gracias. That’s the extent of my Spanish, sorry not sorry. This is the first time I have received a letter in Spanish. I am glad that those Cancun spring breaks paid off for the better. My first words were “Can I have a Margarita?” Well, actually I just said “margarita,” and they understood.

You have every right to be angry, pissed off and sad. You were about to realize your happiest day, and he left with that slut. How long was she with Daniel before noticing that he’s gay? Newsflash: She’s probably not the strongest condom in the aisle.

This could be a sign that you were not meant to end up with this son of a bitch. The marriage gods or whatever deity you acknowledge during a particular day of the week must have been watching over you. No one should have to settle for losers.

And your early 20s (assuming that you are in your early 20s) are meant for sexual liberation. No one

i married i years spent iin a weekly deserves to spend their missionary position while the other six days of the week are reserved for masturbation to “Fifty Shades of Grey” and “Wallbanger” novels. You’ve got Latin flavor going for you.

Like college admissions, diversity is a plus and will get you far in the dating world. Look at Sofia Vergara and Shakira who are acclimating well to the Englishspeaking world, one heavy accent at a time. Take advantage of this Hispanic Hollywood before other minority groups become popular.

If all else fails, there are plenty of Vegas chapels that are looking for practice brides. Hey, they pay well and you can practice your casino skills. I’d say that’s a win-win situation.
