Christmas in Puerto Rico don’t end till the third week of January. We have the longest holiday season in the world. 45 days, baby.

I was free from the firefighter, taking good care of myself and having the best time with all the friends life provides you when you’re a sophomore in college, living in San Juan, have this smile. I was sexy and I knew it.
