[Philanthropy] Stay Human
I hesitantly decided to become involved in philanthropy because I believe that civil society has an important role to play in bringing about a more sustainable, just, and well governed 21st century society. Businesses and governments have their fundamental roles

Fiscal Transparency (is Not Enough)

Back to My Printing Press
I started blogging at el-oso.net in December 2003. I didn’t expect it to last long; mostly I wanted to keep a travel diary for a road trip around Mexico, and I figured, why not keep it on the Internet? Several

Conference-Slutting Toward Good Governance
2012 looks a lot like a convenient excuse for the Latin American diplomatic jet set to rack up their American Express rewards points while in Cartagena, Brasilia, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, Rio de Janeiro and elsewhere. Looking through a less

It was about five o’clock in the morning when Cindylu, with her sweet little voice — all chamomile and honey — says, “Oso, you should probably put some vaseline in your butt crack.” That’s when I knew I was in

do you enjoy posting embarassing pictures of friends? hehe.
I do. But more than anything I’m trying to get him to start writing again … and this’ll probably provoke him to get some revanche. It shouldn’t be hard … there’s plenty of embarassing photos and video of me out there.
hey david, after not using this computer for months and months i got it online today for whatever reason. i had your site in my bookmarks so i wanted to write to say hello. it looks like you’ve done a lot of work on this site! the only time i saw it was last year when you sent an email to everyone saying you were starting a blog site…i think it’s awesome that you keep up with it. hope to talk to you soon
aha!
Who is the sexy fella in the innertube? Does he drink Budweiser?
hey david sorry to break it to you but there’s this thing called law school that takes up a lot of time. however it also provides for much more motivation during free time meaning there’s a good chance el abogado futurado will post again in the near future.
you know, when I first saw that photo it reminded me of the ones you see from the fifties of young guys with combed back hair .. if it was in b&w, it would definitely look like it came from that era.
oso oso oso. There are other ways of getting my attention, but this one certainly worked. Actually, I didn’t see this untill yesterday when my friend opened it up in the middle of class. Soon I see my biceps popping up on random computer screens in the middle of Government Processes. But thanks, it reminded me I need to head to the gym…what happened to those guns?? And don’t worry – incriminating and embarassing pictures of el oso will soon be coming to computer screens near you.
