You Tube

Has got to be one of the best video search engines I've seen in a long time. It's free and has got tons of videos not only music wise but any type of video you might want to find. Here's a video I found of the great band Seals and Crofts (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zg2V_ELhgaE). You can check out my site under spideroger where I uploaded a couple of videos from my camera and can be used at any site (embed) you own. This video of S&C is unique and it's worth sharing...Enjoy!!!

Visita al Serpentario

Tuvimos la oportunidad de visitar por segunda vez el serpentario en Grecia, esta vez llevamos la cámara y tomamos muchas fotos, les recomiendo visiten este lugar donde podrán admirar serpientes de todo tipos y lugares (Bocaracá, Boas, Cascabeles, etc) asi también como Caimanes, Ranas venenosas, Iguanas y admirar la belleza peligrosa. El costo es poco ($5 por persona) y las atracciones valen la pena, también les recomiendo hacer el viaje por carretera vieja a Grecia.

In-Existencia en el Mercado

Finalmente sale a la luz el disco de uno de mis grupos ticos favoritos: ANZUELO, el grupo consiste de Carlos Velázquez, Esteban Zamora (Pucho) y Mauricio Gamboa (Icho). El disco se llama In-Existencia y contiene los tracks que me llegan al alma como Omnipotente, Eco-loco, Sol del alma y Déjame surgir, son 12 temas en total y por como interpretan sus temas en vivo este disco suena como "Destrucción Total", les recomiendo una escuchadita o visiten su página de Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/anzuelocr.

Peeping Tom

This is Mike Patton's (former Faith No More and Mr. Bungle lead singer) newest project and as he states "If I listened to the radio this what I would like for it to sound like", in other words this is his POP Project or POP Experience, it includes Rahzel, Norah Jones and several artists and performers from the music industry. This project took over 4 years in the making and believe me it was worth the wait. Check it out!

PUMP UP THE YAM!!!

2006-06-12T10:02:00.000-07:00

Family farm in Guapiles

Here's a picture taken two months ago of the farm's progress. The family farm is in Guapiles (about 75 kms from San Jose, on the way to Limon) and as you can see the main crop is YAM, it is for export to the US, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Asian countries. In the pic is my cousin Eduardo who is the care taker and main farmer. Yam is a root (like Yuca or Potatoes) with a very distinguishable flavor, the crop takes approximately 9 months (sort of like having a baby). I will post future pics of the progress, the farm also has AVOCADO trees (Aguacate) as well as some Yuca, Orange trees, Tangerine-Lemon (Limon-Mandarina), Sweet Lemon (Limon Dulce), Papaya, Coconuts (Coco), Chile, Guava (Guayaba) and some ornamental flowers. You are all welcome to visit the farm and stay and enjoy the caribbean climate, just let me know in advance so we can get the grill going!!!

El 3 de Mayo del 2006 le propuse MATRIMONIO a mi novia (ahora ex-novia pero prometida) con un resultado positivo por lo cual ahora soy parte del mundo de los casados (aunque planeamos hacer la boda el 3 de Mayo del 2007).

My favorite Tattoo Artist

2006-05-01T13:34:00.000-07:00

Stattoos Tattoo Studio

El mejor tatuador de Costa Rica es Alejandro Cole (derecha) de Stattoos (en el callejón entre Subway y Hollywood Video en San Pedro), es a la única persona a quien le pongo mi piel, tiene tatuando más de 14 años, les recomiendo visiten su estudio y si deciden tatuarse diganle que son amigos (as) mios y les harán un buen descuento, es muy profesional y cuenta con todas las medidas de seguridad y aprobaciones del Ministerio de Salud, tengan en consideración que tatuarse en un estudio es algo caro pero vale la pena por un trabajo profesional, más ahora que hay mucho lugares no aptos como en el mall donde muy probable se pueden infeccionar u obtener un trabajo mal hecho. También les recomiendo en escoger un tatuaje del que no se vayan a arrepentir porque tatuarse es para siempre. En esta foto aparece junto a Cole, Guy Aitchison uno de los "mejores tatuadores del mundo". Visiten la página de Stattos a: www.stattoos.com y si buscan muy bien incluso encontrarán una foto mia de hace mucho tiempo en un evento en Puntarenas, haha! Saludos a Cole y a Pecos!!!

Cortek Reunion (Part 2)

Like the previous picture this is the SUPER CREW from my work about 10 years ago, man that sounds like a long, long, long time ago! But anyways the "Usual Suspects" in this lineup is not even close to amount of Superstars from Cortek (formerly in Zona Franca Saret and now deceased but with the members still alive and kicking). This was a full "REMINISCE" of the good times, nicknames, funny stories ever told and actually lived, the stories would make a good movie and I can't even begin to think of the nowadays actors that could be used.....scary thought actually! As you can see the date in the pic this took place on Feb. 24th (3 days before my b-day) and I am hoping that real soon we make the SEQUEL.......Chairs! (That means silla or see-ya!)

Close Encounter of the METAL kind

Este blog es dedicado a dos buenos amigos y compañeros de trabajo: Orlando "LOLO" Lemus (izquierda) y Luis Diego "CHEKO" Francesa (derecha). Ellos tocan en los grupazos Popper y Stalag (Lolo) y Exnobia y Ongo (Cheko). Stalag (www.stalagcr.com) en este momento es una fuerza a tomar en cuenta en Costa Rica un metal-industrial que te pega durísimo, Exnobia (www.exnobia.com) es puro metal del bueno, Ongo y Popper son sus otros proyectos que también son bien buenos y los recomiendo, me tocó la dicha de ver ambos grupos en EL YOS y tuve que retomar mis raices y HEADBANGEAR como no lo hacía desde hace mucho. Check out their sites for more info, Audio and Video and start rocking TICO STYLE!!!

Sometimes quitting is not bad...

2006-04-08T18:18:00.000-07:00

My advice to you is...

Stop Smoking...now, I am no advocate of health or anything but believe me what a difference it makes in your life to either quit or not smoke at all, me and my woman are not smokers and hopefully neither will our kids, this is killing our Human Race at a faster pace than AIDS (believe it or not!). Your body will thank you for quitting and so will your friends (since smoking shortens your life span). So try it for a few days and you'll notice the difference or even try the many methods there are out there but believe me that none of them works better than WILL OF POWER so if you have any put it to work...

My hopes are up for the Los Angeles Dodgers this season and hopefully their bubble isn't burst like last season. My Dad is very hopeful for the New York Yankees and their super roster but get your check books out and start betting...just kidding! Unless you are a betting freak like me!

Diego's Laboratory

This is the smartest person I've ever met in this earth, back in the 90's when I graduated (1991 to be exact), this was our class's Valedictorian as well as our soccer team's goalie and of the nicest people I've met. This picture is of my good friend Diego Valderrama and his soon to be beautiful bride Afra. From all the research I've done and his latest publications he is one heck of an Economics major, graduated from Duke and works in The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Congrats Bucketbranch! (English for Valderrama) and hopefully you come back to Costa Rica and become our president that way you can fix this country for once and for all, it is safe to drop him a note here: http://www.frbsf.org/economics/economists/staff.php?dvalderrama I am in touch with Diego as well, Good luck my friend!

Unsolved Mysteries

At the beginning of the year while I was standing outside my house waiting for my girlfriend I saw a group of people pointing towards the sky, to my surprise I noticed this strange brilliant spot, at first I figured it would be a star but the problem was the time, it was 12:00 pm, I mean at noon, a star! No way! But since I am a firm believer in UFO's, it was my duty to investigate the matter at hand. First off I contacted a few friends (my girl as well) so that they would witness this sight from different parts of the town. Indeed they all confirmed the sight, one of them called the Meteorological Center where they confirmed a star being sighted (more like a planet, VENUS). Most of the onlookers disappeared after hearing the news of Venus being spotted this early, but NOT me! I stood around to see more...20 mns later the object was on the move at a very slow pace so I decided to summon my friends again to confirm, after I made a few phone calls for confirmation I also noticed a few more brilliant objects (2 more to be specific) and from a different location I received a call reporting approximately 15 objects of the same kind, unfortunately at my position I could not see the remaining 13 objects, my visibility and the sun only allowed me to spot 3 of them and all of them moving. I don't know what your point of view is on UFO's but I kid you not when I can say that I was finally after long research and study of my own able to see my very first encounter of the first kind.............Believe it or NOT!

Here's another bunch of SUPER COOL FRIENDS I ran into thanks to the power of the Internet, these are the Seals (Joshua, Sutherland and Juliet...clockwise from left to right). Not only are they extremely talented musicians (earned from their father Jimmy Seals from Seals & Crofts and their intelligent mother Ruby Seals) but also real nice people like few you see in the world nowadays. All 3 of them have made families of their own, Josh married to Carmen, Sutherland married to Andrea and Juliet married to Sahba. I am in touch with Juliet for now and am waiting for news from Josh and Suth as well as hoping their future arrival to Costa Rica for some mean fun! If you want to stay in touch with Juliet try her blog: http://julietsealsferdowsi.blogspot.com/ where she updates in a constant basis with pics included.

The Incredible Mike Patton

I hope you recognize the three characters in this picture (Venom, my brother Juan, and Mike Patton). This picture was taken during a Tomahawk concert which my brother attended, check out Mike with his Chilli Dog in hand and he kindly posed for this pic, he is the most awesome songwriter/performer in the world. Mike Patton is one of our favorite people in the world and someone hopefully I'll either meet or see in concert with one of his many projects (Tomahawk, Lovage, hopefully more Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, and more) before I die. This collage made by my bro will remain in my heart forever (for I Love my bro and Admire Patton).

P.S. In Spiderman 3 and/or 4, be in the lookout for Venom (and his Alter Ego Eddie Brock).

Here's a picture of US just chilling in Puriscal at Hector's Farm, this day we had the most incredible chicharrones (with beers of course!) and watched Real Madrid lose 4-0 to Olympique Lyon at the UEFA champions League a few months back, the day was fun and we enjoyed the best Costa Rica has to offer, the beautiful tropical paradise!!!

February 27th 1973...

This day may not have been that important to Humankind but it was definitely important to my MOM and DAD, 33 years ago was born yours truly, the Friendly Neighbor...hopefully today I will celebrate grandly (except for the fact that I have to work today) with a few friends and a bottle of Whisky...so good luck to ME!!!

My following tattoo

Believe it or not I am a DALLAS COWBOYS fan...but this is not the only reason why I am getting this tattoo...it is also the symbol (some may beg to differ on this, especially if you haven't read The DaVinci Code) for women and I have finally found "THE" woman in my life and this will definitely honor her instead of tattooing her name in my body. If you are not a tattoo fanatic you might not know that when two people (or one of the parties involved) gets the name of the other half's tatooed it will take approximately 6 months for them to split up...no kidding!!!

It's the Final Countdown

The Final Countdown

The time is closing in on the most important day in the lives of the Robleto-Arana family, yup, our younger brother and our very beautiful Mother are coming back to Costa Rica...for good. The United States of America have been somewhat kind to both of them, Mother got a chance to work and help our Father and our brother got an education (halfway there) and has experienced working, living and a very differente culture away from his family which is a schooling that you couldn't get anywhere else, but besides all that they both return to complete our family niche for good, this is the moment we are all waiting for and will make our home and hearts fulfilled once more. We can't hardly wait...

A.N.I.M.A.L(es) a la orden del dia

Esta es mi primer creación por lo tanto pense que era apropiado empezar con la foto e historia más cool. Esta foto fue tomada en el YOS, tocaba uno de mis grupos favoritos ticos: ANZUELO, no solo estos cabrones son mis amigazos pero la musica que tocan es pesada y ruidosa desde un sentido melodico revienta jupas...esto fue un día antes del concierto de A.N.I.M.A.L. Ellos tomaron (literalmente) el día anterior para conocer este pequeño país y su gente. Recuerdo con lo poco que me llega a la memoria ese día por si no lo notan en mi cara de jumas, le pedí el autografo al cantante Andres Gimenez, lo hizo en la parte de atrás de mi camisa favorita de SPIDERMAN y la vez le enseño mi tatuaje de "LOCO PRO" (canción de ellos) y el me enseña su tatuaje de "PURA VIDA", esto se puede decir que ha sido el mejor intercambio de frases tatuadas que se pueda conocer y dejándome una impresión que nunca se me olvidará.
