Tailgating-UT vs Kansas

Today we tailgated like Champions... Direct Tv, 42 Plasm TV, bbq-ing, and drinking like there's no tomorrow. That's John stash in the trunk of his car. We all had tickets to the game, none of us went! jaja, we decided we had a better view/setup at our tailgate than at the stadium. 9am-9pm, it doesn't get any better than this.... Hook'em Horns

Catch of the Day: SHARK


$65 for Deep Sea Fishing
$3 for 2 cokes and a bag of Doritos on the OSPREY
$20 tip to the first mate of the OSPREY
$10 for gutting and filleting shark
Catching your first shark: priceless
"Shark on, Shark On!!!" that's what the deck hands of the OSPREY yelled the moment my rod bent like fat albert was on the other end. 8 hours of deep sea fishing and a sun burn was worth it after catching my first shark. What inspired me to go shark fishing? Well I guess you can say wathing ESPN's "Monster Shark Tournament" sparked my interest. There're few things in life that excite as much as having a shark on the end of your fishing pole.
Sharking being clean.

Dia de los Muertos



This weekend i traveled to Tamazunchale, SLP in mexico and i had the neat opportunity to see the 'dia de los muertos' in mexico for the first time. i had heard about it but didn't know it was this big festival with 4 days of celebrating the dead. kids didn't go to school for 2 days and people didn't work on the 1st or 2nd of nov. as i was traveling in this area of mexico know as the 'Huasteca' i was pulled over by several road blocks controlled by little kids demanding a mandatory donation for their celebrations. of course i donated because i was warned that if you didn't contribute to their cause they would key your car or spray paint your car. of course they did all this while wearing their costumes which are a lot more scarier than the traditional costumes of the states, and all the little kids would gather in a group and do this dance as if possessed by demons....
at night there were celebrations of the dead with traditional dances with adults and kids. i filmed two of these dances, the second one here is danced in front of the altar of the dead that pertains to this dance. there were about 6 altars, each with it's own dance.
