Daily Shots: Rain in Traffic

This daily shot is a good follow up to my musik mundi. When It Rains ... while you're stuck in traffic. I was trying to get a shot of the lightning but with my shaky photography skills, it was nearly impossible. I was always a nano-second too slow. With the low lighting and the car going, even as slow as it was, there were lots of blurry shots. Boo. So this was my only some what successful shot. It was quite calming being stuck in traffic with lightning flashing across the sky every few seconds. Actually, it wasn't that calming. If big poppa weren't there with me, I would prolly have popped a vein. Remember my saying? He's yin and I'm yang. Cos I'm always yangry. Hah!

Musik Mundi: Paramore

I actually don't listen to Paramore all that much. I know big poppa started listening to some of their music after watching them perform at a Vans Warped Tour. The only song I knew of them was the one that my band I perform when we play rockband. CrushCrushCrush. I only started looking up some of their stuff since they have a song out on the radio. The lead singer's voice is awesome! A rockband from Tennessee. Imagine that. The song here is a bit softer than most of their tracks.

Trippin': McAllen - Stripes

You see, fine dining is not something I understand. I've been to places where you pay the big bucks for a meal that's not so great. Now what makes a lot of sense is going to your local Stripes convenience store/gas station and getting a yummy breakfast taco from the stand at the back of the store. Oh so good. Miss Fabu and Rice boy had these tacos before and wanted us to see for ourselves how delicious they were. The thought of it was kinda gross. Seriously. Tacos from a gas station? I could only imagine them using gas as grease. Big poppa and I only had the egg and potato tacos since we weren't eating pork. The other thing that had some of us surprised was how good the coffee was. It was a regular French brew but man, the flavor left such a huge impression that I sometimes want to go back to McAllen just to get some coffee. And visit Fabu and Mascara of course!

I love the look of deep contemplation. Which taco should I get?!?

Rice boy love his coffee!

That's right folks! You too can trick out your taco.

Paw Pals: Max & Coco

Meet Miss Fabu's little furry friends, Max and Coco. They are completely adorable and so eager to please. Max is a boy and the older one. Coco is a girl and the new baby to the family. They're both bichons, Max a French one and Coco a Cuban one.

Here's Max. He loves being at the center of attention.

And Miss little Coco. She's still a puppy and she's so darn cute. I think big poppa and I kinda favor her cos she's a bit tubby in the mid-section. She loves to sit and lay around being lazy. When she runs, she tires easily and it's funny cos she'll just plop down and take a breather.

Since Coco is still a puppy, she basically follows Max everywhere and really looks up to him to learn the ropes. While at Miss Fabu's place, Max was running to each person asking for some love and Coco would follow him and do the same. Say awww now!

Miss Fabu got Max some doggles so he can better enjoy sticking his head out the car window.
