So it's really been a while since I've just updated on what I'm doing and what I'm up to. Primarily because I've been sans camera for a while so not so many visual memories, but a lot of good times were had.
We'll start from Last Saturday, August 9th. My friends Ross and Eugene (Eugenius) decided we needed to make a Run for the Border, and I'm not talking Taco Bell, though we did end up eating at Taco Bell in TJ, not the same happy Chihuahua place, this place has 3 for a $1 tacos, which I later paid for...
They also have these poor Donkey's which they paint like Zebra's. I don't know, it's just pretty bizarre and sad looking really, just crazy to note how different the world is there in Mexico and it's only like 20 minutes away.
Our primary purpose of the Tijuana experience was to figure out the Mexican sports books! So we put down some money on some of the daily baseball games and we are already looking forward to Football season! Takes maybe an hour round trip to get down there, hit the casino, and then the major delay is getting back into the States. It's just a free for all to walk across into Mexico, and they need any boosts we can give their economy really, but getting back to the states is a whole nother story. Just waiting in a huge line, even to walk back across. And apparently we need Passport with Drivers License! Which we didn't really have but we're prettty american looking at we cleared and got back in fortunately this time.
Proceeded back across the border then hit up some outlet malls for a bit. Gotta love the Nike Outlets, finally got myself some new running shoes so hopefully they will help in not tearing up my feet as bad as my shoes I had before. Then Eugenius had some friends downtown at a place called Nicky Rottens which is just a little Grill Burger joint and there was a big UFC fight on so we chilled there and watched the fights for a while, it was a great time. This really is the summarized version, but I was too paranoid to take a camera into Mexico. All I heard were the how scary Mexico was stories and granted we went during the day on a Saturday and weren't drinking really, but it seemed pretty safe and ok to me. I mean ya, you can buy any drug and prescription you want to, but different strokes for different folks I guess, I had a great time there, and will be back soon. This historic post has already gone on a little too long. Going to head back to work now, and I'll update with the rest of last week and this past weekend later!

By shopping in Mexico, will is able to pass the savings on to the rest of us- kind of like Tom Shane. And that means sweet comped hotel rooms.
