While many young men dream of cars and ladies or Michael Phelps standing over their beds wearing nothing but his gold medals, twenty-four-year-old Angel Pantoja Medina of Puerto Rico had a different dream: To stand upright at his wake when he died. Dream a lil’ dream, Angelito! And, thanks to a special embalming treatment and an untimely death, his wack-ass dream came true! Aw, happy endings: Dressed in a Yankees baseball cap an
d sunglasses, Pantoja was mourned by relatives while propped upright in his mother’s living room.
His brother Carlos told the El Nuevo Dia newspaper the victim had long said he wanted to be upright for his own wake: “He wanted to be happy, standing.”
Angel was found dead last Friday, buried underneath a bridge. They’re still investigating the cause of death. Not being investigated? How this is going to effect that one caterer who didn’t get the memo and kept wondering why impeccably coordinated dude in the corner kept side-eyeing him all day.

Adriano Jimenez had been stripped of his Dominican license in 2006 because he was caught flying multiengine planes when he was only authorized to fly helicopters, said Pedro Dominguez, president of the Dominican Pilots Association. Two weeks ago, he had a minor accident while landing a small plane at a Dominican airport.
"An in-depth investigation was never opened to prevent what today we are lamenting," Dominguez said.
Jimenez loaded 11 passengers onto a twin-engine plane in Santiago, Dominican Republic, on Monday and filed a flight plan for a landing in Mayaguana Island in the Bahamas, but he never arrived, according to the Dominican Civil Aviation Institute.
Jimenez sent an emergency signal about 35 minutes after takeoff and then disappeared from the radar. He was flying in low visibility over rough seas, according to U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Barry Bena.
Rescue crews have searched about 4,000 square miles (10,300 square kilometers) but have not turned up any sign of the plane or its passengers, said Lt. Matt Moorlag of the Coast Guard.
The plane went missing in the Bermuda Triangle, a zone of the Atlantic Ocean noted for a supposedly high number of unexplained losses of small boats and aircraft.
The U.S. Coast Guard says the mysteries can usually be attributed to storms that flare up quickly and to swift, Gulf Stream currents that wash away evidence of wreckage.
"Overall, the U.S. Coast Guard is not impressed with supernatural explanations of disasters at sea," Moorlag said.
The missing aircraft's owner, Luis Perez of Puerto Rico, said he hired a pilot to fly the BN2A MK III Trislander to the Dominican Republic so that Jimenez, a potential buyer, could inspect it.
The pilot who was supposed to fly the plane with Jimenez at his side refused to do so when Jimenez arrived at the airport with 11 passengers, according to Luis Irizarry, an attorney for Perez' company. He said Jimenez then took the plane himself without authorization.
Jimenez, 43, received a U.S. student pilot license in March, according to U.S. Federal Aviation Administration records.
Dominguez recently raised concerns with the Dominican Civil Aviation Institute about other pilots who allegedly provide illegal charter flights using private planes.
Santiago Rosa, aerial navigation director for the Dominican Civil Aviation Institute, did not respond to requests for comment.

ROMA,
fig. Madonna and Alex RodriguezIs there a Madonna-Alex Rodriguez Sex Tape? At least one video snapping voyeur says so!
An unidentified New York man is demanding fistful of cash for footage of Alex and Madge doing the mattress mambo in an apartment allegedly used by the pair for secret afternoon trysts.
In a series of emails to media outlets, the cameraman claims he is in possession of two month old footage of the pair having sex in a New York City apartment owned by a pal of Madonna.
The cameraman – who is also a friend of the apartment owner – claimed he found out about the pair’s secret affair and secretly installed a hidden camera in the living room with the lens pointed at the sofa.
The cameraman is willing to sell the tape to the highest bidder, with the asking price starting at $1 million.
But legal experts say if even if the sex tape is legit, the seller would likely face prosecution.
“If footage was obtained in this way it would be an outrageous invasion of privacy. Even if the video existed it would probably be seized by the courts.’’
Madonna’s lawyers in the meantime have said that they are “aware” of the claims but are not commenting.
