By Fernie Ruano Jr. (wordbyfernie@gmail.com)For those familiar with the chaotic and pulverizing stage presence of Marc Anthony, Latin music’s melodramatic tenor with 15 million records sold worldwide, his routine before taking the stage should come as no surprise. “(I drink) a beer and (smoke) a cigarette,” said the 46-year-old Anthony, during a sit-down Q/A at the 2014 Billboard Latin Music Conference in Miami, earlier this year. “It relaxes me;...

By Fernie Ruano Jr. Admit it; you’ve done your homework. You know she pulls into the Starbucks on Miracle Mile at 7:30 a.m. every day and orders a tall latte, since you’re standing right behind her pretending to be playing with your stupid cellphone and not ogling her long strands of streaky-blonde hair. You know she goes to lunch at 1:30 p.m., since you desperately start rattling your top drawer for loose change right around 1:27 p.m. before turning...

(Editor’s Note: The woman who turned down your Starbucks invitation after eating $80 worth of sushi on a 22-minute lunch date doesn’t count.)By Fernie Ruano Jr. Do you know of any fully-functional human being - you know with a mouth and tongue - that would actually turn down FREE COFFEE, after sitting by their alarm clock all weekend praying for the sun to christen a brand new Monday morning?Monday morning? Who in the world would be waiting for Monday...
By Fernie Ruano Jr.“Porque está lloviendo? ¡Creo que te has vuelto loco!” Te entiendo, asere. It’s Friday and raining, and you can smell the leather on your R.T.G. armchair couch and taste the foam from the Corona 12-pack in your freezer so badly saliva is running out the both sides of your mouth and onto the conference table of your 15th floor downtown Miami-office, where it’s 4: 30 p.m. and 15 of your co-workers are also pretending...

By Fernie Ruano Jr. I know…It’s been a while. I’ve spent the last eight days recovering from an emotional state, which has wiped me out of Kleenex and Zaditor. You see: I keep having this dream about Derek Jeter, the iconic Yankees shortstop who is staring at the final weekend of a 20-year career, in which MLB waits until 11:30 p.m. (check the weather radar) to start his last home-game ever, before Jeter hits a game-winning home run off some Orioles’...
By Fernie Ruano Jr If you live in Miami, you can eat a pastelito – or 17 – at any time of the day, whether it’s 6:15 a.m. and you’re doing 100 on I-95 in your pick-up truck because Juanita wants her lawn done before the driver from Leon Medical Center shows up, Sunday morning and you want to surprise your very healthy wife with a box of -guava and cheese heaven and try to erase what happened at 3 a.m. last night, or it’s 4:30 a.m. and you’re driving...

(Editor’s Note: This is for the carefree, pizza-lover looking for good pizza. Who knows? Maybe, your hot recruiter loves pizza as much as ....) By Fernie Ruano Jr. We know, we know. You’ve lived in Miami for 25 years, stare at a red apple while you drink your coffee each morning, own more Yankees’ T-shirts than flip flops, still insist going knee-deep into the water at Coney Island in October is a day at the beach, believe the Knicks...

By Fernie Ruano Jr. It’s the first day of fall and I have Perry Ellis on my mind. I mean...How many men in their 40’s do you know iron their own Perry Ellis dress shirts, dig fitted, Perry Ellis Portfolio jeans (I got the goods), appreciate a good pair of Perry Ellis Portfolio slacks, wear boxer shorts to 3 a.m. meetings at the Ritz Carlton, can fit a woman from head to toe, enjoy going to the mall for more than just a chocolate chip cookie and don’t...
