About Me

I was born to two existentialists amarillos in the middle of the desert. Mom's lips started to get chapped and dad said FUCK these drug mules and so we made our way to the the place where the Alamo ain't shit and the basketball team gets a new stadium every 6 years. After 10 years of trying to strike gold, I dug a hole to China, and kept on trying to dig it back for two years... but I ended in some fucked up cornfield in Nebraska where I was forced to work alongside cornhuskers and blackshirts and watch football for 6 months and after the first snowball, i said "fuck frostbite" and now I'm back in the land of 3 week winters.
Myspace StuffPlay the game! and win... try and beat Natasha's score: 5000. It's game of Lines. You need to arrange three or more (four for Expert mode, five for Master) balls of same colour in a row and they will disappear. To move a ball, click on it and then on the destination cell (you must move a ball even if only one is left). Balls can only move through empty cells. If after your move no balls vanish, a few more appear on the board, until all cells are filled. Sure you will not allow this to happen.

Goodbye Nebraska

There was 7 inches of snow on the ground and it was 20 degrees outside; a mild winter storm, a native Nebraskan might say. And I was sludging through the powder, loading my bags and making my wa...

Car Shopping

So in a ritual that every American must go through at least once in their life, tomorrow I go car shopping. I have done research and diverted countless of hours at work to looking at cars, revie...

Ludefisk and lefsa Burritos

Back in America... Stuck in America!
