About Jaime Alberto Galarza

It is a little silly to write about the person I am because we people usually write only positive things about us, so to this extent, what we state is not completely true. Thus, for the sake of not doing the same thing, let me start by listing my negative characteristics. I am very egocentric. This may not be very surprising to most since it is considered a "normal" trait. If it is so, then I am normal, which is not necessarily good.

Let's say that I absolutely agree with Matthew 26:41 when he says "...the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak" Will it be my Latin blood? It is silly to blame my ethnicity for a problem of sexual intemperance, I know.
