fernando

hands behind his back like he´s not even sweating it, here´s my 94 year old grandfather on the ball. he is definitely my idol.

there´s some controversy to whether or not he is 94. apparently he lied about his age to join the bolivian army around 1930. he was 15 and needed to be 16 to fight in the chaco war against paraguay. but the thing is, we´re not sure - and he´s certainly not sure now - whether or not he used his real or fake birthday after that.

bottom line: he´s 65 years older than you and can juggle better.

I hope you name your first child "Fernando"... boy or girl.
