Benito Martínez Abrogan (June 19, 1880(?) - October 11, 2006) was a native of Cuba who claimed to be the world's oldest living person. He claimed to have been born on June 19, 1880, near Cavaellon, Haiti; however, he had no documents to prove this claim. Cuban government medical experts attested that he was at least 119 years old at the time of his death, which would have still left him as the oldest human being on the planet.
He claimed he came to Cuba via steamship in the 1920s, worked on the family ranch of Cuban president Fidel Castro and eventually settled in a small farming community outside Ciego de Avila. He never married. He put his longevity down to healthy food — rice and peas, fresh vegetables and only the occasional drink of alcohol.
No actual record exists of his birth and none have been produced of his life before he reached Cuba. Cuban experts said that they believed Benito to be probably around 119 — comfortably older than the current official world record holder, Elizabeth Bolden, an American woman who is a mere 116 years old.
Benito Martínez was the star attraction of the country's recently formed 120-Club, an organisation promoting healthy lives for Cuba's most elderly citizens.

Today's weather is cooler.
Though it's supposed to get in the lower 50s today.
I'll believe that when it happens!

My legs still hurt.
They hurt yesterday.
Felt as if someone is squeezing my calf muscles.
On both legs no less.
Prolly b/c all them trips up and down the freaking stairs.
That's the ghetto stairmaster for you!
Took a bath this morning.
Didn't help.
Took some pills.
Didn't help.
All I can say is this...
OWWWWWWWWWWW!

Well Bus Lady was talking to Psycho Girl & Truck Dude today.
And when we, my Mom and I came down from upstairs after checking our store room...
Bus Lady popped her head out of her apartment when I was outside checking on the mail man ..
And she looked right through me as if I wasn't even there and then closed the fucking door!
But with her talking to Truck Dude & Psycho Girl, she is up to no good.
Bus Lady loves to cause trouble.
And getting her together with Psycho Girl...
Considering they are like enemies...
Watch out world!
