I'm a terrible Laredoan

I feel just plain awful. All this WBCA events are happening around me and I'm missing them all. The Jamboozie came and went. I missed it. The Menudo Bowl too, and I missed that as well.

How can I pretend to blog about the events that occur around this town if I'm never attending anything? How can I expect to increase visitors to my blog, if I don't post anything with any substance? Why should I not be surprised that no one cares about my blog? How can I keep up with La Sanbe, Keyrose and his endless army of bloggers? These are questions that will fester in my head. And you thought I didn't care about his town. You were soooo wrong.

the Rad80s (our half-sister blog)

It's finally here. Our ugly step-sister blog has reared its disgusting head. Our unabashed love for all things 80s has finally busted out and ran down the street, naked like a skinny-dipping camper in any Friday the 13th movie. Just don't say you were not warned.

You still have time. Don't go into this blog. You'll throw up bad, like that time in 1986 when you had 4 mister donuts and washed them down with spoiled Hygeia milk. You 'member.


Pos orale, you want it, then, alli te va carancho! Te aguantas.

The Rad 80s. "Life is good again"

Random Lyric of the week.

Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice Inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back."
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-

Death of JD Salinger

One of my favorite authors, JD Salinger, died yesterday of natural causes. He is most remembered for his novel, The Catcher in the Rye. That novel, with its main character, profane and winy Holden Caulfield, is read and despised by millions of HS kids throughout the nation. There has never been a film adaptation of this novel, mostly due to Salinger's disapproval of it.

(In an interview with Premiere magazine, John Cusack commented that his one regret about turning twenty-one was that he had become too old to play Holden Caulfield.)

See you in the afterlife Mr. Salinger.

Random Pictures of Downtown Laredo (part 2)

Sometimes I need to view pictures of downtown Laredo, and then I feel better again.

Random picture of downtown

El centro is always fun. Here is a random picture I took on my last excursion. It took me about twenty minutes to find a parking space, but other than that, I had a good time. I even had my first visit ever to "Casa Raul"! Can you believe it? I've been living here since 1992 and I had never been to the local shrine of all things Wranglers and Ropers. Its a new year, and I'm living it up, baby! Go me!

WBCA is almost here.

It's that crazy time of the year again; we all dread it. Its nearing time again for Laredo to be the ridicule of all of south Texas and drag out its yearly festivities (fetishes) with all things George. Its time again for the haves to rub it in against the have-nots and parade themselves to remind everyone of the large disparity between the botas and the guaraches. Dios nos salve.
