Day #78 8/25/11: Kids: you really want them?…

My two little cousins: They are great

In the morning, my aunt from here and my mom took a pretty decent walk to the top of a hill near where my aunt lived and it was very comforting to get some exercise and not just having to walk around. After we ate a quick breakfast (benign little author’s note: Have I mentioned food in Mexico is amazing? It’s just legendary!), The two Jose’s (father and son) decided to invite me to Sombrerete where they were going to get gas for their store that they owned. Now, one of the Jose’s is my aunt’s husband and he actually used to live with us for a little back in 1995-1996 and he always asks me questions and he seems interested whenever I come and hang with him. His son is equally friendly and he is pretty chatty when it comes to me and him talking.  Driving there was fun and the stay wasn’t that long as we were looking for a truck part and some food to take back home. On the drive back, Alan and Denise were being playful with me and I decided ‘hey I don’t see them everyday so why I don’t I just let them have there fun’. Once we got home, we ate and headed to see some corn fields and we were in awe of the scenery. Of course, once we got back we all talked some more about topics on the horizon (family, the violence in Mexico) and then the topic of facebook came up and it was quite the discussion as me and my aunt from here said it doesn’t really matter what people say on there because once you see them in person you really can’t talk about anything because you already know everything. Then wouldn’t you know it? The power went out! What a day of weirdness.

Day #75 8/22/11: Therapeutic…

My cousin in the middle and my two aunts

It was finally time to head to Mexico and I got up early to help out my old buddy Manuel as he has been on crutches for a little bit now. I noticed once we got to the airport it was very busy as the steps getting on the actual plane are a pain but I can understand why people in higher positions would think that people want to blow up a plane. So the head count was me, my aunt, and my mom and I was feeling like a survivor from my family. Everybody now has kids, works for a living almost killing themselves in the process from so much work, and I thanked myself for taking a vacation due to so much reasoning behind the fact that you work and you have nothing to show for it. But, the best advice I got from watching an interview with a wrestler a couple of years of ago, I realized you save your money and good things will come. Being on the flight, I started watching the best of raw from 2009 as I saw a few segments from the beginning of the year as I got flashbacks when I would go to class in the morning from 10:30-12:30 Tuesdays and Thursdays and I would come home to watch Raw. Once we got there, I saw my beloved uncle Guillermo, who is always willing to lend a hand seeing as how he picked us up and I can’t imagine anybody saying a bad thing about him because he has done so much for my family and I. I caught up with some old family members and after that we headed to a cemetery where both my grandparents are buried and I just noticed the raw emotion that was there from my mom and her sister from seeing there parents. We were there for a little bit until we saw that there was no way in hell that we could get the door open from the door lock being so dry. So, we decided to give a try the next day until we could get it open. The night ended with me, my mom, her sister, Guillermo’s wife, Maria, and Memo visiting an uncle of there’s that they haven’t seen in a while and needless to say it was like therapy. What I mean is that who needs comedians when you have older Mexican folks making us laugh with joy and tears by telling great stories about there adventures, there misfortunes, and as well as there future endeavors. Indeed, what a day!
