My Life, Up And Personal
You may know me as Latino Pundit, but my real name is Louis Pagan -- LP, for short by many. I've been blogging for 4 years now and it's been great; it's expected to be even greater. I've worked in IT as a network manager for almost 10 years; I like what I do. A lot of people say they love what they do, but they don't really; if you love what you do you'll do it for free. With that in mind I looked for things that I would do if money didn't matter. Thankfully, I found writing. I would write all day if I could, because I love it.
After all is said and done, and we look back on our lives I hope that each one of you can find at least one thing, be it a person, a passion, a cause that they have loved. To give, is the greatest gift; to give love - even greater. I've been lucky to find one thing that I love; and another as well. The fine muchacha pictured on the right, is my fiancee! I've been lucky enough to find, love, and who loves me back.
This picture is the first picture I ever saw of her, and eventually the girl who I fell in love with - yes, we met online. So, I asked; she said yes.

Baby, I love you. You are the most beautiful woman a man could ever
dream of, and I am one lucky son-of-a-gun to have you by my side. You are in for one heck of a ride, mi amor. =)
On the left here, is our dog Tyler. We traveled all the way to "Bubba-fuck" New Jersey to get him from a breeder. He's a Shiba-Inu, and looks like a little wolf; he actually howls like
one too! So if you happen to be in the Bronx, and here a howl that may
be my boy Ty on the prowl.
I've always wanted a dog. But if it wasn't for my girl I can say quite positively, that I wouldn't have one. It's the whole thing of walking the dog, taking him to the vet, etc. Life was busy as it is without adding more chores to it. Now that I have him, those chores of labor have turned into a labor of love. I think I enjoy walking him more than he likes to be walked. It's that whole giving love thing I guess. With job, a blog, a girl, a dog. Along with some other things that I do it is no wonder I don't split myself in two. Like I was saying, I didn't think I can do it all; I would of never imagined; with all the stress, deadlines, currentness, contacts, everyday hustle, keeping in contact with family and friends it's no wonder some of us have not imploded. However, what I've learned is that the more you give, the more you can do. And I am sure there are more of you out there who are busier or have more responsibilities than me, but you have to understand that this is all new to me being a single guy for most of my life.
So this is my little family now. Affectionately, I call us F-Unit, for family unit. But, wait there's more...
The above picture of my girl is outdated. This is how she looks after being with me for a while....j/k. We've been blessed with a baby girl on the way. Her name will be Eliana. The name in Hebrew means "God answers." We didn't pick it for that reason, but it just so happens to mean that. Anyway, I'll put up a website soon w/ pics and diary entries we've kept off-line.
We are super-ecstatic, super-hyped, super-gassed, super-duper-elated, super-happy, supper-souped-up, super-duper-excited...we're SUPER! We are adding one more Latino to the population - a little LatinoPundette (hey, that gotta ring to it).
This puts everything into perspective; blogging, writing, life. It's not about me anymore; it's that little package on the way and the beautiful women who is wife to be Mrs. Pagan. And that is way cool. How better, how more fulfilling it is to give myself to these two jewels (three - the dog), and make them happy.
I write with a new pen these days; walk with new shoes; see with new eyes. This is my life, up and personal. And I am thankful, to love; to share; to live.
Love you all,
Louis Pagan

About this Entry
I'm happy for you, man.
I don't know whether to cry tears of joy or remain in awe of the words I've just read. As your #1 fan, I'm proud to comment on here to say that your presence in my life is the single-handed best thing that has ever happened to me...because along with you...came so many more beautiful things...and there are still more memories to create...but they all began with you. I am thankful, proud, overjoyed (and 1,000,001 other words)...to spend all the days of my life by your side.
Congratulations to both of you!!! (Because saying "congratulations to the two-and-a-half of you sounds weird.")
Right now, Mr. & Soon-to-be Mrs. LP, you're at a special place. Enjoy it. Enjoy the moment, because it will pass. I don't mean it in a negative way. Change is just the essence of life. You will have moments, or days, or weeks, or months, just as fulfilling as these. And they too will pass.
Enjoy the moment, because that's all we really have for sure.
What I can share with you, having been with my wife for almost seven years and having known each other for over ten is this: that special person will make the highs that much higher and the lows that much bearable.
Again, congratulations!
Good news indeed! Congrats brother!
Congratuations, Louis! I just rediscovered your blog about a week ago and was glad to see you doing your thing. Keep up the good work and best wishes to you and your wonderful (and growing) family.
thx, all for all your kind words and wishes.
Congrats, your wife is beautiful! :)
May your little family be healthy and happy and proudly Latino and liberal. :)
Felicidades, Louis. A beautiful tribute to your life and the loved ones that you share it with - paz
Man, the more I look at that dog, the more I believe it looks weird. It may be the shirt, but that head seems to be about three sizes bigger than the rest of the dog!!!
This show of love really touched my heart. It really is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
You've all been very kind in your comments. Thanks for the warm thoughts; happy to share.
OMG! Felicidades to you and the familia!
Que lindo este post ~ your wife is *beautiful* and she is glowing in the pansita-photo. Congratulations to you both ~ you both seem to be a great catch ~ Tyler is one lucky dog~!
