St Patrick's Day - Running of the Bulls Mexican Style

This is why your mother told you not to play with matches!

Dharma Bums of Barra de Navidad: Volume One

The Dharma Bums of Barra de Navidad and their friends wax poetic on the beauty of the Costalegre, Mexico and the characters that populate a tiny seaside drinking village with a fishing problem.

Was it really a year ago that a disparate group of individuals found each other and a shared passion for art, literature, and poetry in Barra? It was and now the fruits of that experience can be shared with the first volume of The Bar None Anthology. Now available online. (Advance copies have been circulating around Barra de Navidad for the past few weeks.)

Read what this collective has to say about each other, their shared experiences and their love for their adopted community by the Pacific Ocean. Whether it is the ABCs of Barra, the often cumbersome hangover or a walk in the rain, this time capsule captures the spirit and love from the fertile minds of Chuck, Russell, Chynna, Billy, Brenda, Sue, Jordan, Zanne, Mark, Sharon and the Newlyweds. Their vision is captured through the stroke of a pen or through the stroke of a brush. It was a stroke of good fortune that brought them all together for one magical winter.

As it reads at the top of this page, the Costalegre is home to many talented individuals. The idea for this anthology took root in the prescient words of Russell who said, "that art which is not shared withers away and dies." The Bar None Anthology is intended to be shared among friends and family. Art will not wither away and die on our watch.

T’was Before That Night In Spanglish

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the casa,
Not a creature was stirring - ¡Caramba! ¿Qué pasa?
Los niños were tucked away in their camas,
Some in long underwear, some in pijamas,

Mexico Senate OKs bill to legalize drug possesion

Mexico's Senate approved a bill last week decriminalizing possession of small amounts of weed for personal use. Hooray! But before you get too excited they did this in order to free up some coin and the judiciary to fight the drug cartels.

The bill would make it legal to carry up to 5 grams of marijuana as well as small quantities of blow (500 milligrams) and teeny-tiny quantities of other drugs such as smack and glass.
