July 19th, 2008 No Comments
i had my first tecate with lime and salt since i left topanga last night. it was at this bar called pier 121 on lake lewisville. the bar was literally floating on the lake, so these huge power boats would pull up and the “captains” would hop off and just get shit faced. i’ve never [...]
Music Page

The music page is now not so shitty. In fact, I’m pretty happy with it. Right now, only Superfecta is available, but I will slowly be adding the other records. You can preview the songs and purchase them via PayPal. I thought about giving everything away for free but decided to stick the Internet community [...]
