Stories from Tijuana...Episode 1...Welcome to Tijuana

When I was 19 my dad sent me to school out in Carlsbad, California. A young lad from Arkansas like myself was so excited to be living in Southern California and I couldn't wait to get all tore up. However, being 19 I couldn't go out to bars in Southern Cali but I could party my butt off in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.

The first time to party there I had such a good time that I continued to travel there for almost 10 years. I could score anything I ever wanted there and I almost died a few times! Fun stuff! My first time in TJ (we called it TJ for short) I had a crazy Mexican grab my head pull it back and shove 3 shots of tequila down my throat while he was blowing a whistle in my face. I LOVED THAT MADNESS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So back for more I went a few times a year, TJ was like my adult Disneyland. I had sex with more hookers in El Zona Norte than most normal people eat Taco Bell in a year!

So occasionally as I remember some of the crazy stories from this God forsaken place I will post them periodically. Thank God for Tijuana and thank God for the steps or the last time I was there I almost died for the 3rd time.

My father occasionally reminds me of the fact that it was back in January 2006 when the Policia (Mexican Police) had me detained and the Mexican Embassy was calling him at his work scarring all the employees.

AA got me away from all that sh#t and showed me how to live life in the real world and not a Mexican Prison getting plugged from behind by Paco. Thank God for AA! and the 12 Steps that really saved my life!
