Mas Fotos

Here are more photos from Mexico City that I stole from James Chang.


James tried a self-timed photograph but was not fast enough


I'm acting like a 14 year old girl that doesn't want to be photographed


This was handed to Vanessa by a crazy homeless guy.


We climb pyramids


I'm taking ordering my coffee very seriously

James is a creep for owning so many masks.

Termino

It was a fun trip. It was a crazy trip. I met a few really cool people.

You better take care of me Lord, if you don't you're gonna have me on your hands.

Change You Can Believe In

The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason.

And they elected your new president.

FYI

For his inauguration Obama charged $50,000 per person (in donations of course) to attend his fiesta – still, more than 10 times what individuals could give to his campaign


Top Donors To His Inauguration Bash
Securities & Investment$3,603,000
Lawyers/Law Firms$2,508,950
Misc Business$2,191,127
TV/Movies/Music$1,748,200
Real Estate$1,570,805
Business Services$1,307,450
Misc Finance$1,176,750

I Don't Have Any Money!

Tonight was one of those strange nights where you are completely willing to believe you may have dreamed the entire thing. You aren't even sure if it was a great night or a terrible one. I found out rooster really do crow early in the morning. I also learned that walking through Mexico City at 5:30 in the morning by yourself is actually really scary.

Not sure why I look like a fag here


These are my housemates from Spain.


Bottle service = me paying half the bill


We rock ties because we do it right.


Tequila -- It don't taste like skittles

Some More Pics From The Pyramids


Third tallest pyramid in the world. One meter shy of the tallest.



James and me with our housemates Jaun and Alegria

Teotihuacam

In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity.

I Ate Cattle Head Today

Mexican Funeral In Taxco


This stuff is called Flora De Manitas. There is an ancient Aztek recipe that uses this flower to make a psychedelic drug. If you boil this into a tea along with two other plants you are suppose to hallucinate. Apparently it doesn't work and it tastes terrible.

"A Mexican BMW"

Clover

I muttered, trying to pin the word down. But it is one of those words, like love, that I have never quite understood. Most people who deal in words don’t have much faith in them and I am no exception - especially the big ones like Happy and Love and Honest and Strong. They are too elusive and far too relative when you compare them to sharp, mean little words like Punk and Cheap and Phony. I feel at home with these, because they’re scrawny and easy to pin, but the big ones are tough and it takes either a priest or a fool to use them with any confidence.

No point mentioning those bats, I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough.

Fiesta Americana

I tend to sweat heavily in warm climates. My clothes are soaking wet from dawn to dusk. This worried me at first, but when I went to a doctor and described my normal daily intake of booze, drugs and poison he told be me to come back when the sweating stopped.















I think I'm getting the Fear


Paradise

There was madness in any direction, at any hour. You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning.
