Rain Fall Down in Sosua - February Quickie

[Rubicon]

One Saturday I spent in Charamico's cockfighting arena. The roosters are paired for one and a half hours from 3 pm. Then eight matches commence. I took a 200 peso seat. The round goes until one of the cocks is out of breath or until death. The winner takes it all. The loser ends up his brave life in a pot. The pictures are too bloody to post. I will dilute the blood with proper watermarking. Great stories were told. One especially stood out. It was about a Spartacus of cockfighting world which won thirty five fights and then drowned during a rainstorm in his wooden cage behind the arena.

You've just given me some new ideas that I wouldn't have thought of on my own. We'll okay maybe just one--I may have to see the cock fighting just because many of us have seen it on tv or in movies, but maybe I'd like to say I saw it live for what it's worth.

Saw my first cockfight ever Feb. 26 in Puerto Plata. Went along with a Dominican buddy of mine at the invitation of a police friend. Didn't make sense to me watching roosters fighting to their deaths. Don't think I'll accept any future offers.

I have to admit I made a couple of wrong moves this trip. It's all all statistics and it balances out.

I met one fatso whom I knew from a previous trip. She was very smiley and all and nice talker. I was thinking about calling it a night then somehow she insisted on her massage skills and I took her for a ride. Wrong! when in a room she switched her nice tone into a rushed 'papi' one, assumed a flat pancake position and tapped on the sheets. Worthless cow! Bye-bye my 1,500 peso

Another day I spotted a promising cheeky tall Haitian very new to the trade. Then minute by minute things began to be lost in translation. She was sitting on a coach, drinking my beers, spilling suds and talking rubbish. I tried couple of times to pull her into the bed but she only giggled, stupid drunk. eventually I kicked her out

Then one of the younger girl was introduced to me by a girl which I knew. I skipped the interview, did not watch for lack of kisses and her glances askew, all because she was referred to me. What a mistake! In the room she immediately switched a box to a cartoons channel (Fuck, another cartoon girl) and then rushed me into horrible dry sex of a troubled girl from an abusive family

Guess you gotta take the Great (not good) with the bad. Because after all you got your rocks off and it helps you to appreciate the great chicas you've been with.
As far as taken a girl who you knew friend---I wouldn't simply because it could be a girl she just met and is basically pimping to you for her commission ---- I'll stick to my own instincts---Don't need nor want someone giving me their pick for my dick-------MIGGY

Wow Dominicans love to steal hit's in other Latin Nations they are so infamous for doing this...lol. Me being Panamanian I listen to all types of Latin songs and I remember hearing this almost 2 years ago in Colombia I can name countless songs DR artist stole from other artists from around the world.

I don't always agree with it, but stealing or sampling music is part of the music game worldwide. Didn't reggaeton start in Panama? You can't tell these boricuas in my neighborhood they didn't start it.lol. Sometimes the sampled version is stolen and made better than the original and other times the original is classic and you just can't fuck with it.

There is a difference between sampling and stealing, and with this song he is singing the same exact version that was originally done in Vallenato(which is the better version in my opinion) in Bachata. Actually Reggaeton which is spanish for Raggae original birth place is Jamaica, just like Salsa origins come from Cuba. The point Im trying to make is that there is a difference between sampling and stealing.

Many English songs are remade in Spanish and vice versa. I think the issue comes when people claim it's original. If that isn't the claim then what is the gripe.

Pana, I don't understand. Are you saying he didn't get permission to record the song? If so, I'd find that difficult to believe. Zacarias' version is a huge hit. You can't "steal" a song and have it distributed as widely as this one has been. The lawyers would be on your ass in a hot second. By the way I prefer, Zacarias' version.
