Looking forward to the weekend, house warming party and hopefully some good weather!

So yesterday I'm waiting in a huge lineup of people walking from Tijuana back into the US when I hear people screaming behind me. I turn to see a car swerving all over the road, then through the line (people jumped out of the way) and into a churro store. Apparently the driver had abandoned ship while the car was moving and ran away from the policia on foot. Fun times!

Going to Disney World for the first time in about a week. Any suggestions on places I should hit up?

So apparently if you walk across the border to Tijuana, then later on realize you forgot your US passport, you can get back into the country with a driver's license.

Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.
