el paraíso mejicano

last weekend, i got like thisss close to finding the flush knob on my head...the one which would send all the crazy thoughts whirling out to nowhere....even if its a temporary thing.....maybe i am exaggerating...maybe like all getaways, this one is also overrated....maybe i needed a break so badly....from the thoughts...thoughts that have no business anyway to bother me nag me irritate me....instead of making peace with them, i've been trying to hide and run away and all that...too busy to understand i guess...which in turn causes more heartburn...watta pitiful situ...

anyways the point is...we went to méxico....puerto penasco, otherwise known as the rocky point beach, 100-odd miles from the arizona mexico border.....the rocky point could easily be the nearest beach to us in phoenix...and from heat of arizona, it was nothing short of a paradise....the time was well spent para gliding over the water, riding on ATVs and almost getting killed doing crazy maneuvers on hillsides, eating unknown but interesting looking mejican seafood, pretending to be lazy seals on the shore, getting drunk on cocktails like there is no tomorrow and indulging ourselves in other more exotic pastimes which were typical to this beach town…

chk out the view from our hotel room...


there are a number of things which intrigued on the trip, but none more than the 'exotic' bit mentioned above ...girls...i'm not talking about the numerous biker babes who hung around….nude girls..in the many many bars on either sides of the main road….on open-top bigfoots on the road…giving lap dances…rather ‘table dances’ as they liked to call it…..the babes are ready to go to any extent…stopping only when you ask them to stop….its not like it was a red light area or anything…but then the place was so made for fun, and this was an integral part of what it had to offer….surely a big tourist attraction too…especially since the ‘services’ were dirt cheap…

got me thinking….i’ve been to many a gentleman’s club here in the US…mostly with the gang and we always have fun….and these places never give me a creepy feeling….until mexico happened….the receptionist at our resort recommended guau guau as the most decent club in town, where our female friends could also go…but then the experience inside that place… …twas quite something else..the dingiest ugliest and dirtiest joint I’ve ever been in, wow wow made me think…and I was sad….like something somewhere touched a raw nerve….like a wake up call…a rude awakening…

I don’t think I have anything against these clubs…mosta the gals here do it coz they wanna do it…n coz they njoy it…and not becoz somebodys forcing…but then y was I disturbed?….i’m kinda scared to think abt it…maybe the hypocrisy is showing? maybe the flush knob is still far from my reach? fuck

She does it cos she’s an illegal immigrant who cannot find another job that’ll pay enough to keep her alive. She does not do it for fun. She does not like what she does. She gets drunk so that she doesn’t feel too much while she does the things she does.
Read the archives.
She is a very intelligent and VERY educated woman who is in a sorry situation.
