Live from the Heart of MEXICO!!

Blogging to you straight from Tepatitlan de Morelos, Jalisco Mexico is none other than yours truly. I have my co-pilot and wing-woman with me, the lovely Andrea, aka da wifey at my side and we are coming at you with the detailed reports of our trip to Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo.

Lets just say that it was a great time. The weather was wonderful with lots of heat, sun and fun. We were able to go to the beach, ride a boogie board, swallow salt water(not on purpose), have some Daiquiris, go snorkeling finally, and have a great time out there. Most of all the best thing was being away from the day to day hassle of life in the States. Once we get back there will be a way more detailed description of the fun and sun that was had, including some great photos.

Now it is on to the Fiestas of my parents hometown, Mezcala de los Romeros, Jalisco. Party on!!!

Going on Vacation!!!

So I will be going on vacation for a couple of weeks, therefore not caring too much about posting stuff for you to read, but I am sure that I will have the chance to give you lots of updates on my return. Who knows? Maybe I'll find an internet cafe and grace you with some lovely thoughts from my destination: Sunny, sunny Mexico!!!!

4 days in Ixtapa/Zihautanejo and the rest in Mezcala de los Romeros, Jalisco. Yes, in the heartland of the Tequila state. I'll be trying my hardest to go on the distillery tours if possible.

And of course I wanna relive the scene from "Shawshank Redemption" where Red has taken the bus to Zihuatanejo and found Andy on the Beach, that sunny warm beach. AAAAHHHH the life.

So wish me and the misses well. We'll have fun for ya!!

756, and Barry Bonds is the King of Baseball

So last night Barry L. Bonds hit his 756th career homerun making him the solo leader of Major League Baseball.

A long career that only seemed to get better over the years has culminated with Barry breaking the most recognized record in sports. So now Barry holds both the single season and career records for homeruns. Not a bad day at the office for Mr. Bonds.

Now for all that want to bring up the controversy that exists out there, I will simply point to the fact that Bonds never tested positive for steroids while there was testing being done. Steroids were not tested for in the past, so unless you are ready to put the shit back into the horse, you have to get over the steroid allegations.

A Big Congratulations To Me for Actually Starting this Blog
