Celebrating the birth of our "saviour" with beer, rum, cross-cultural joint rolling exchanges...and a decapitated cow head. Just like Jesus did! Beware of the market scenes!
Travel stories and the occasional rantings of an evolving cynic who's simply in search of a little human authenticity. Tales include hitching across the Rockies with an eventual cop-killer, a weekend with a terminally-ill billionaire, meeting my siblings for the first time, trips to Mexico, and scores of random people from Mass.-Slab City-Chiapas who are often even more interesting...for better or worse!

January & February '12: A Quick Mexico Recap
 |
| Eric & Amelie |
I had another remarkable trip to Mexico in January & February. I returned to Cancun, Tulum, Isla Mujeres, and San Cristobal learning, or reinforcing, an important idea: You can’t go back again. Nothing ever compares to the first time, and it’s unfair to expect it to. Life blossoms in the new, and rots beneath the log of lazy familiarity and habit.
Reanimated!
Fine. Let’s count ‘em together, fuckos.
1) Trip Diary.com (’08)
2) Running With the Wind (’08)
3) Te Nosce (’09)
4) TDB (’09-’11)
5) The Wandering Weed (’11-‘12)
6) Toddzilla X. (’12-?)
Yup. Six places I’ve parked this blog in just over 4-years. Not ideal for optimal repeat readership. I’m not bonding with you, my listen…er….readers…properly. No benchmarks to help build my “brand”? Media suicide! Social heresy!
But, looking at the list with the benefit of reflection, it makes sense: Evolution.
“He not busy bein’ born is busy dyin’.” Thanks, Bob.
Since I haven’t written dick, at least here, in nearly 8-months, I should first update for future continuity and then explain a few pertinent things as I move forward. Some significant things have changed. Plus, I see some edits in my future. Let's see what happens...
