Oso that feeling will pass. I agree with DT that perhaps getting involved with something down there, you know break it up a little, will make things better.

I’m in the same situation right now. I’ve lived in Austin for over 6 years, and it’s the longest I have stayed in one place in a loooong time, so I’m itching to do something new move, go travel, do SOMETHING. So, I myself should be taking my own advice.

The way things are going with me and my blog, I expect for everyone that reads my blog to not be totally drunk off their ass…unless they want to die or something.

At least your blog (as well as others) makes me laugh you know forget about all that caca around me. Maybe you need a roadtrip?

Oso, I really expect a glass of wine every time I visit this blog.

Xolo,

You’re obviously a well traveled Mexican

DT,

I drink 6 when I read yours. JK. You know what, you’re right. I should get more involved in something down here.

Elenita,

Hug. And PB will be in my prayers. A swim would be sublime.

Any chance you have a spare hug or two you can throw my way? The Powerbook is getting a reformat next week–possibly an entire hard drive and/or motherboard transplant–and I could really use a breakfast burrito and another swim in the Pacific. Hell, even a walk in a park–sans rain and wind and chronic 10 degree Celsius weather–would be mighty good about now. Data loss pains me mightily.

Sigh. One of these days, I’ll actually have happy news to share. I promise.

The funny thing is that you were the first one to comment on your own post. BTW, I do drink 5 glasses of vino before reading your blog.

Dude, you’re in Monterrey! Just sit outside and smell the tacos man. I know it can get monotonous (sp?), but shite, you won’t be there forever. Maybe you should find a youngen and teach them about computers. I’m sure there would be plenty of little kids in the neighborhood who would like for someone like you to just chat and hang with them.

What if you are like me – someone whose work is thinking and does it best in their sleep?

Gustavo,

Funny guy. It’s the peso paycheck that’s turning me into an elbow.

Not really. I drink caguamas outta paper bags – there’s no way in hell I’m spending a benjamen on overpriced bacardi.

Xolo,

Don’t fret my friend. All the regios assure me it’s only the lazy southerners that come down with bad cases of la hueva. In fact, a student of mine – a manager at a multinational car battery company – told me, “in Mexico it’s like this: in the north we work, in the middle we think, and in the south we sleep.” I think it’s really the common view of most people ’round here.

Sounds like you have a bad case of hueva, my friend. You will pick it up if you spend too much time down there. It is rampant and quite contagious.

Groundhog Day eh…I think I have been in one of those for the past couple of years. Maybe I should prepare myself for grad school (but in what) just in case teaching tires me. I guess I should have a more positive outlook but I dunno. It seems like everybody else knows what they want out of life and I am stuck in a rut. I am such a sucka, sucka. Anyhow, I can relate to you. So you had to spend 1000 pesos at the Coco Loco? Ay Oso, creo que ya se te esta pegando lo de Monterrey…acaso te duele el codo o que vale? Ja Ja, no te creas!

And you know what’s really weird? When I’m in moods like this I tend to sort of assume that everyone else is in the same mood. Like, full moon or something. Ludicrous, I know.
