Hi perv..ehem, I mean, people! Wow, we are turning sixteen already! Sweet sixteen! Sixteen weeks writing here, that is, which means, four months!! Time really flies!!! I remember when I was a twelve year old hirl and the world was just ahead of me. My grandfather used to drive me to Gerardo Selles Sola junior high in Caguas, Puerto rico, and I would get down there and buy a bag of doritos before heading to class. I wanted to become a professional boxer and, quite frankly, spent my days in school more daydreaming about potential world championship fights-both among real boxers and involving me-than studying.

Then we moved to a town named Cayey, where I hit 13, met a girl named Thylvenetssie Hernandez and, for the first time, started living like a real teenager. My hormones were going crazy, and so...she and her friends thought they had a musical band, invited me to join and we used to put shows on stage for students and teachers, using my tape recorder, we pretended to be singers and dancers and it was all great. We became known across cayey, which is admittedly, a pretty small town. But, in that way, I can say I tasted a bit of fame, and we covered everything, from Madonna to Duran Duran-the reason she invited me, because, you know, me, being a woman with a penus, i was needed for when they wanted to perform boy songs! Anyways... Everyone knew us. More importantly, me and Thylvenetssiee were in love and the other girls, Ana, Carmen and, especially, Hilda, said they were my sisters all the time.. I absolutely loved that! we dreamed about traveling the world together as a band, and singing and dancing our own songs and appearing on the covers of magazines and recording albums, flying all over the world, being welcomed at airports, being interviewed on television and recording great videos and maybe film a movie or two, all the while me and Thylvenettsie and the 3 other girls being together all over, along with our parents, and, of course, just being 13 year olds at hotels all over the world! It was my first taste of teenagehood. And now, it's all flown. Time has flown by, for sure!! One song that I loved to perform and people asked us to perform was Pual mcCartney and Michael Jackson's Say Say Say......"Say, say say, what you want but dont play games, with my affection!" Marrrvelouuuusssss!!!We were knwon as The Fantastic Five. Separately, I also belonged to a group that included me and my friends Ruben, Ricky, William and Javier, but in that group, we didnt sing. We thought we were a gang and called ourselves "The T-Birds: after the Grease movie gang, Thylvenetssiee, who was dating me, had her separate group too, :The Pink Ladies" also after a gang in Grease..lmao...

But you know, wish as I might, to return back to that era, it's not happening. What we can do is keep on looking forward! You and i have made it through four months and there is much, much more to go!!

I want to start this week with a few reflections: A few days ago, I headed to the store to buy stuff, 150 dollars of my 300 dollars I get a month since netrat is a cheapo who does not pay me for this column! This is truly an act of love to you!! And on the way there, I saw a car accident that involved 5 cars! I drove by but thought about the people involved in the crash, and then I began to think about God. And the truth is that the concept we have about God,...I mean, we get Him both right and wrong all the time. We get Him right because we can read what it says about Him in the Bible, or in other religious books and the computer. But the truth is that humankind has tried to figure God forever, and He is immense, so we cannot truly grasp Him 100 percent. I read nce God is so big, we can never even see His heels!.if that is the case then, no one can ever fully understand the spirit of God. We can only partially understand it, but not completely. And so it could be that we all get Him right and also wrong, because we are mere humans and not meant to understand each other 100 percent, let alone a being that is so large that it is larger than the universe. This, to me, is an amazing thing.

So....on to the news!

No deaths this week, only good news!

Last week, we reported about an accident that took place in Western Australia involving the sadly infamous Virginia Giuffre, who came into the spotlight when she courageously stepped out and detailed the alleged actions between her, Prince Andrew and other powerful men at Jeffrey Epstein's island. she was involved in a collision with a school bus and was given four days to live after it but is still hanging on, luckily. That is good news but we keep on praying for her. She deserves a very long, happy and blessed life after all she went through earlier in it. I hope that next week, we keep on reporting more good news about her improving. Her family and, especially, her children, need her. I know she might read this as many other celebrities do, so form here we send her all our love!

March Madness is over!!! And the winner is.....!the Florida Gators!!! Ina great game, the Gators came from being down by twelve points to defeat the Houston Cougars (not to be confused with the NBA's Houston Rockets, an actual professional basketball team!) 65-63! What a game!!! March madness is a big thing in the United States and, in fact, many fans prefer college basketball, which is the championship that is contested in March Madness, to the actual professional NBA games. I don;t share that opinion, but it is a big thing. In fact, it is the only time when some of my fans stop looking for me here on this page, because you are all watching the games! all time greats like Michael Jordan, James Worthy, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Christian Laettener- who, being the Brad Pitt of basketball, was so fucking hot back in the day!-and GrantHill have all played in the championship game of March Madness.

In association football, my Manchester United tied at the premier last week. I have to thank my great friend, the Roddd, for that tidbit, but I'm only half-happy in that regard, lol!

Also..another one of the girls I know announced she was going to make an album, and I, like the stupid dumb fuck i can be, told her she probably has a lovely voice and added that I'd love to hear it. At which moment, she told me she was talking about making an album..for her dead dog....lmao! Sometimes I truly need to shut up and listen first!

Talking about my girls, Jilly is back from Can cum!!! I truly love Jilly and my other sisters, Courtenay, Cindy and Deb, they are amazing! I hope I am a great sister to them too1 I heard Jill had a super tme in Can cum! Next time, I hope we can all go! I know that if Jill, me, COurtenay, Cindy and Deb buy bikinis and fly there, men would literally fly to see us. net rat would show up there to see the rest of the girls, not me, but that's ok because I'd have enough men and women to entertain myself with and, in some cases, run away from!

Soooo.........The White Lotus is a hit American dark comedy series that has been a major television series hit for producer Mike White and cable television giant HBO. It centers around a series of guests at a resort hotel, named the WHite Lotus. Americans love this series, just like generations ago, we, especially the women, loved Sex and the City. I used to watch that with my sister Nilda, whom I love very much along with my brother Jose (no, he did not watch!) Anyways, The WHite Lotus has proven to be yet another great hit for HBO. ANd the good news for the show's fans is, Mike White (for whom the hotel in the show was named after) says that he wants to leave the fate of one of the characters on the show, Timothy Ratliff, and that of the other members of the Ratliff family (wife Victoria and two sons and a daughter) ambiguous to the public. White said that Victoria "has a superiority complex and it has extended to her kids, and it;s turned it into a into a little bit of a cult where they're all kind of incest*ous, that nobody's good enough and so they're all kind of looking inward"......that latter admission by him kind of makes me wonder where have American values gone....incest*ous....I mean..yeah,,,ewww...I know he probably doesn;t mean it that way, but, still...

Patrick Schwarzenegger, the son of...you know who..."Commando Terminator" Arnold, and who also acts in the show, told Variety Magazine that White wants ambiguity on the show. "When we power our phones on, is that when we know everything about our dad?" , he asked, in character, adding, now off character, that " )Mike) wants people to have these conversations. He shot two and a half hours for the finale (of season 3) and boiled it down to 90 minutes. That's already a stretch for HBO to give. It was always scripted how it aired. Mike did say he wanted it to be me (his character) who looks to my dad when my phone comes on. Because they work together and there are more consequences for Saxon (Patrick's character Saxon Ratliff)".

We'll have to keep on watching!!!

Brb, I gotta pee...and men, no, you are not allowed to watch, you pervs!!!

Have you ever heard about a half-human, half-horse person-animal? Well , if you are like me, you have. And if not, you will, right now, Sort of. There is a singer named Stella Stallion. The German singer and DJ says she is a horse. Yeah...ahhh...calling herself Horsegirl, she has come out in public wearing make-up that makes her look like a horse, as if she had just come off Churchill Downs or something....I bet a lot of guys now want a blow job from her after seeing her latest photos. Horsegirl, who grew up on a farm, sat down with People Magazine for an interview recently. Among the things she declared are that "Some of the icons for me were Crazy Frog, Hampton the Hamster. There is a very famous bunny in Germany who is called Schnuffel who has made some incredible tunes, so that was quite Inspiring. But to be honest, there was not that much of a real crossover. There's amazing famous whales that are legends in the animal kingdom, for the amazing whale symphonies they compose, and it;s just not as popular with humans"..

Oh..what can i say? I didn;t say it! And, yes, I know Im transgender, but I'm not trans-species. This is a new level of crazy to me. And, I guess that netrat is not the only animal that's not nuts there, ah?

I smell a lot of horseshit from her!

In other news, the Menendez brothers are on the news again. Lyle and Erik Menendez gained infamy some thirty years ago for murdering their father Jose and mother Mary Louise after Jose allegedly did unspeakable things to them and Mary Louse apparently allowed it to happen. They were sentenced in 1996 to life in prison without the possibility of parole. But, there is a ray of hope for the brothers, because in 2023, rumors surfaced that former Menudo member Roy Rossello was also victimized by their father Jose. Rossello also has accused Menudo manager Edgardo Fiaz of SA'ing Rossello in the past. A photo also surfaced showing Rossello and other members of Menudo alongside Diaz and Jose Menendez after Menendez had signed the band to his record label. All things considered, the Menendez brothers could be potentially released from prison. "We have a phrase we call 'speaking shame'. It's helping people find their voice in their trauma. And we think there's a hunger for that in the country, and we would love to be a part of that and heal in that way".

If they are telling the truth, we wish them the best and pray for their prompt release. . ,

In other jail news, Yolanda Saldivar, the woman who was sentenced for the sentence of Mexican-American singing legend Selena Quintanilla in 1995, was denied parole this year. .What I think about that is that if she had been released, her life would have been in jeopardy because the community has not forgotten, and many Selena fans may not have forgiven. .Salfivar, you might remember, was arrested at the Days Inn hotel where Selena was shot, that same day, threatening to unalive herself with a gun pointed at her head ..

I guess this is it for now. Sorry I did not post a photo of myself pulling my panties down for you to enjoy..maybe next week? *Winks*......now I hope that hope is not the only thing rising, men and women!!!

Just remember, God the Lord loves you and so do i and netrat! Til next week when we turn 17! (Oh how I wish!!)
