I started writing this at 3 a.m. Then I tried to finish packing. Then slept for 45 minutes. Now I’m leaving for Tijuana in five minutes to take a flight to Monterrey. I’ll probably be offline for a couple weeks so I leave you in the unwashed hands of Moreno and Abogado. Paz.
By the time most of you read this, I’ll be leaving on a jet plane, don’t know when I’ll be back again, to Monterrey, Mexico where I’ll be seeing my girlfriend for the first time in about six months. It’s more than a Valentine’s Day visit though … I’m heading south to live and work.
I’m surrounded by all my junk right now, trying to decide what to bring with me and what to leave behind. My bicycle? Probably not. Too many potholes and too good of a chance it’ll get stolen. My guitar? I’d like to. I’ll probably finally actually have a chance to practice and record some songs, but I don’t know if they’ll let me carry it on the plane. I think I have decided to take my rock climbing gear with me though. Portrero Chico, just outside Monterrey, looks pretty impressive and it’ll be a good way for me to meet people with similar interests.
Bon Voyage, querido. Travel safe.
Buen viaje, amigo!
When you get to Monterrey, have some cabrito for me (only if it isn’t Tyson – you never know now with NAFTA).
Cuidate.
Good luck with everything, homie. I should be up there in March to visit my grandma, and uncle. Hopefully we can sit down and have a few tacos together…
Have fun. Living in a different country is always an adventure.
uhhh…errr..I mean ‘down there’.
Cuidate hombre & enjoy life down there! If you become a millionaire with your burrito business, invite us all down to celebrate! ~

hey, anyone know how I can change my avatar to the one I registered on gravatar? lemme know ~ thank you! – mari
Mari, when you put your email, it has to be the same one you registered with over at Gravatar. Also, I think it takes a little bit (no more than a day) for them to approve it and then it’ll start being posted.
It is also case sensitive, so use the same upper case, lower case, you used when you registered your email.
wow. hope you have a good time down there. will you be working down there permanently or for a set time?
Have fun be safe.
wait…whats going on?
¡Que envidia! Mi bello Monterrey, I want to cry…
i love you brother. bon voyage!
word.
It is unfortunate about your climbing gear because i definetly wanted to steal that. Maybe there is other stuff i can rummage and steal from your room (like a wet suit)
rock on. maybe i’ll come down this summer con mi mexicana
Bueno, ya que te vas a Monterrey el inglés no te sirvera de nada, conozco un lugar muy apropiado para el reciclaje de inglés, te dan 100 pesos por kilo, así que el día que ya no quieras hablar inglés, ya sabes, donde dejarlo, se llama El Yonque: mofles, brekas y lenguas.
Take care, y pinche Oso, better leave some beer for me homes eh?
bye darling.
i’ll talk to you soon. and not as soon, but still kind of soon, maybe we’ll come and see you.
XOXO- a*
Have a great trip, man.
Be careful.
Be safe.
But most of all have fun!
Whoa, I had no idea – good luck brother! And I’d say take lots of photographs, but I think that goes unsaid…
hey ~ um, so what are we all supposed to read now? Moreno? Abogado? Where are you guys? Anyone? Bueller? I need my daily fix of this blog! ~
it is so quiet, someone make some noise, please
uh oh. the pressure is too much for me. Oso…come back!
I could always guest blog…
haha…HP, don’t you have your own blog?
LOL.
Oh yeah, I remember now!!!
*sigh!
just checkin’ to see if abogado had anything to say besides “snap”.
come abogado…..make us laugh….please? don’t you know blogs are a stress reliever?
oops…..I meant to say “come on, Abogado”.
Kevin we all know G’town Law is a load of shit, post something already.
So I come on here today (the beginning of a beautiful four day weekend) with lots on my mind and lots to say and I can’t log in. I’m working on getting my password again and I will attempt to entertain. More soon.
who is this mysterious abogado of which y’all speak? was that really him commenting or an imposter of grand proportion? i know not. but i do know that i need to re-register so i stop appearing as a japanese anime’ girl. hell, being gay does not a drag queen make (at least not in my case).
damn guys ~ looks like you have been hit with the porn-spam, too! I’ve been cleaning that sin vergüenzada out of my site for a coupla weeks now…..I’m not even gonna comment on the shemale web-cam….
I know everyone around here probably has bigger problems around here–that sucks about your account, Abogado–but when you get the chance, I ran into this error today at the site’s root:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wppaginate() in /home/.abbottwasher/dsasaki/el-oso.net/index.php on line 26
It’s been a while since I played with Wordpress, but I think that function is missing a single underscore, like this: wp_paginate()
Sorry to be a bother. Hope this helps.

Hey y’all, thanks for all the comments, seriously. It was cool to see the support while moving down here.
Xolo, I tried some tacos del cabrito. Tasted just like tacos de barbacoa to me. I’m pretty sure that Tyson hasn’t delved into goat yet.
HP, mi casa es tu casa.
Seyd, everything I read having to do with blogging in Monterrey, you’re in charge of. Does this mean we’re gonna grab a beer together pretty soon?
Julio, there are plenty of Yonques by our house so I’ll make sure to stop by one.
Al, you’ll be asking me to stop posting photos on flickr pretty soon.
Elenita, thanks for pointing out the error. Wordpress actually sits at http://el-oso.net/blog and the root folder just calls the files. That function called a plugin which was made part of the wordpress core in 1.5. Should be fixed.
Love the new gravatars.
