Tome Schlitz: Little Joe y la Familia

I ran across a song titled "Tome Schlitz" that I had found on a forum some time back. It's a Little Joe song. Looks like it was recorded sometime in the mid to late 70s. I had a couple of cold ones, during a carne asada, with my father and we played this song several times. Made a video slide show with some random pictures I found online. I'm getting thirsty now. Tomen Schlitz people!

Menudo Bowl

I'm saddened to admit that I will be unable to attend the Menudo Bowl. I had hoped on going and snapping some pics for the ol' blog, but, due to work, I won't be attending the Bowl.  Send me some pics of the event if you have some to share with everyone.

Wanting

Wanting
by L.C.

Wanting the forbidden
opens the soul to
tempation
of the unwanted.

These uneasy
f e e l i n g s
of lust, formulating uncontrollable
wants that are unfathomable.

Lack of control
       is driving
sanity away and allowing
       insanity
to creep in and take control.

It leaves emptiness, false hope,
false love, false dreams
losing grips of

I'm trying to keep hold.

La lana

Some local establishments are big on superstitions. I can respect that. I especially love the borreguito next to the cash register. Kaching! Vamos a ganar mucha lana.

Winter "Blizzard" Hours

More fun from Naturall Yogurt over on the southside: Winter Hours

It seems that the good people over at Naturall Yogurt are expecting heaving blizzards this winter for they have altered their hours of operation in anticipation of the heavy snowfalls. No sense in getting caught in two feet of snow just 'cuz you had a frito pie craving. I'm glad they're keeping it real.

Carne Asada

Fellow blogger, Que Fregados, featured a crazy youtube video of some guy going off on 'carne asada'. I thought it was a bit funny and decided to give the video some more play on this site. Watch it or go to Fregados blog and view the others by the same uploader. Let's make it go Laredo viral!

Check out the Laredo Parks and Rec shirt on this guy. At least he has guts. 

"Una carnita, aqui ya sabes para los youtube members, you now for keeping it totally mexican-american, latino, hispanic, border living, laredo, TX!"



BorderTown Laredo

It has been over 10 years since the show aired, and its high time it got a bit of coverage on this old blog. But first I have to watch it. N...
