Gdl-Tijuana bus ride.

this past x-mas I went home and on the road -the longest bus trip of my life, so far- i just wrote everything visual and audio. my perception:

Million dollar baby/south of the border/backwards/agave/yellow bridge/green-green-green-black eagles/Tepic*stop/cigarrette break/Tuxpan/mexican food/small town in a hole with one church/rural/hammocks/ farmers/caddle/multicolored bee-hives/surprisingly enough a second yellow two way bridge/I realized miles after that: in the small tow of Tuxpan, there were many -more than 7- buses that would go to Tijuana, all lined up/ I didn´t understand why?/ federal officers in green suits expecting for me to declare my thoughts in my back pack/my anxiety attacks are not done yet// piss stop @ la concha Sinaloa/California plates on the other direction-everyone going south of Mexico/me north/HEAT/Al Pacino and Robert deniro/The crew: with burt reynolds/4:00 am. a stop @ ciudad obregon/ my ass was freezing/ beautiful pill swimming in my stomach/ woke up in Hermosillo/spin magazine/ Gwen Stefani/ Franz ferdinand/dazed and confused producer/ vegetation changed upwards to the norht/now i see cactus and desert/similar to palm springs/ back in Tepic there were a lot of palm trees/Fiona apple/reading her interview makes me feel the same/moby talking about experiencing extacy in the 90´s/submissive fart indoors/we were stopped in Sonora and the federal officers asked me what was my profession: when I told them I was an english teacher they decided to check my back pack and again my soul was untraced/millions of erect cactus out my window//the end of the world/radioactive/the side view looks a lot like the palm springs freeway/without the air fans/on military stops they made me put out my cigarrette twice in the sand container-no stepping on it/ naps in between/orange-pink*purple sunset***beautiful/the sign says "welcome to Baja California"/minutes after fire red behind mountains/swinging roads in Mexicali/I arrived to Tijuana in one piece after 36 hours.

Tijuana Donkey Show

Last night I went to a party where there were nothing but foreigners, people from all over the world drinking and having a good time, around midnight, someone asked me where i was from, so, i answered: Tijuana. Somehow the conversation turned into the famous: "Tijuana Donkey Show" everyone started talking about it, they all knew or heard something about it, and i felt left out because its my home town and knew nothing about it, apparently its this video of a girl having sex with a donkey, I was dumbfounded. I had no clue. They told me to look it up on the internet, i don´t think I will but at least now i know that it exists.

Anoche fui a una fiesta donde habia solo extranjeros de todas partes del mundo, cheleando y pasandola bien, alguien me pregunto mi origen y les conteste sin repujo: Tijuana. Despues la conversación tomo un giro bizarro, cuando todos comenzaron a hablar del famoso: -Tijuana donkey Show- , todos sabian que era, o habian escuchado de el alguna vez, me senti como idiota porque yo no sabia que era o de que se trataba, aparentemente es un video donde una chava tiene sexo con un burro. y es muy famoso. Yo no tenia idea, yo soy de Tijuana y nunca tuve conocimeinto de esto. Me dijeron que lo buscara en google, la neta no creo que lo busque, pero por lo menos ahora se que existe.
