I am grateful to have treadmill access, but I cannot wait for nights to warm up into the 20s again so I can run outside!

So today I went on a Villano Antillano deep dive. Villano Antillano’s pronouns are she/her. Once upon a time, she was a man. She kept her original voice and artistic name (ending in “o”) She is Puerto Rican. Her existence alone is an enormous act of defiance: PR is very open to the gay community but they HATE trans people. A couple of years ago, a trans man was burned alive in Condado. The hatred is real; it’s dangerous for that sector of the LGBTQIA community. Villano Antillano is normalizing them.

Her songs explore rap, hip hop and reggaeton, and tend to be very explicit. She likes men and sings from a woman’s standpoint. I’m sharing a bunch that I discovered today that I enjoyed for running.

“Fuetazo” is spicy, with a hint of vanilla S&M in the lyrics. So I’m running on the treadmill, focusing on maintaining a higher cadence, which was easy as a counter beat to this song, while trying to catch the lyrics. My eyes wander absently to the TV screen above my specific treadmill, to an infomercial. There’s video of a a man’s hands with a strip of square packets that he’s pulling out of a box.

My mind went, “Condoms.”

Then, “Wait. Condoms???! WTF! WOW these lyrics are messing with my head!”

I look again and squint, trying to figure out what else they could be. Then I see the headline for the infomercial.

“Call 1-800-VIAGRA today!”

Yes, they really were condoms. The way I started laughing in the middle of my workout…I almost had to stop the treadmill.

So that’s the story of my dirty mind and me realizing it wasn’t that dirty after all 😂 I’m going to include the shortened version of this story in my write-up for today just to see what coach says…

Here’s Fuetazo’s lyrics:
