"When I get honest, I admit I am a bundle of paradoxes. I believe and I doubt, I hope and get discouraged, I love and I hate, I feel bad about feeling good I feel guilty about not feeling guilty. I am trusting and suspicious. I am honest and I still play games. Aristotle said I am a rational animal; I say I am an angel with an incredible capacity for beer.
To live by grace means to acknowledge my whole life story, the light and the dark. In admitting my shadow side I learn who I amand what God's grace means. As Thomas Merton put it, 'A saint is not someone who is good but who experiences the goodness of God.'"

sometimes i smell good and sometimes i smell bad. it's weird.
thank God for the grace he shows this smelly Puerto Rican
I Couldnt have found a quote that defines the way I feel most of the time, I love this one though, "I am an angel with an incredible capacity for beer."
Leave it to Marquito to always find the way to ones heart and thoughts.
Thanks
Zeus
