Guest post of the week by Nestor Nielsen
Ever since I got my Directv connected through expertsatellite, I have
been addicted to the National Geographic Channel. I know it’s dorky, but some of
their shows are so interesting! Today I got sucked into a marathon about mafias
in different cities. I initially got sucked in watching one about Miami, since
that is where I’m from originally. I had no idea things were so bad there in the
1980’s. I was a little kid then, so I guess I was too young to realize that the
drug trade was so robust and violent. It was pretty cool seeing how much drug
money affected life in South Florida,
and how much control the cartels had. After that was over, another show came on
about the mob in Philadelphia. Then two more shows about gangsters in New York’s
Chinatown, and then Russian mobsters in Brooklyn. After that I knew I had to do
something to get off of the couch. It was really hard, but I managed to pull
myself away and go for a run with my dog. If it wasn’t for him I probably would
have sat there for another few hours!
