I haven't blogged for the past years, and a lot of things have happened since then. But since this is (hopefully) going to be a weekly blog, and I actually did some things this week, I'll save some of the things from the past years for slower weeks.
Feria
On Friday we went to the Feria here in Juárez. It has crap tons of food stands, live performances, and mechanical rides. I don't care one bit about the performers, because it's usually popular music, which I don't really enjoy. A lot of people go for the food. I'm not one of those people. But I think most people go for the rides. Like me and my cousins.And it's weird, cause I'm scared of big rides, specifically ones where you fall very fast, like roller coasters. But Mari forced me to go (haha, jk, I kind of wanted to go). We started the night by getting on this giant ass drop ride called the "Mega King Tower" that is over 250 feet tall. I was sweating during the whole line. I was nervous. I was regretting it. But at the same time I was a little excited. I knew if I managed to survive, I could do all the other rides no problem.
I didn't take pictures of it, but it's the one on the right.
So there I was, sitting on the seat of the tower, feet hanging, so close to crapping my pants. There was no turning back. And just like that, it began to go up, very veeeeeery slowly. I felt like it had been going up for half an hour and I turned up and we were only halfway there. Why did I turn up? Why was I on it? Why????? And then it stopped. I could see half the city from up there, it was a very nice view. I was starting to enjoy it....until, that is, the fall. I felt my stomach up in my head next to my brain. I was hanging on for dear life, certain that my face was going to smash on the ground. But it didn't, it didn't!!!! It slowed down, I survived!!!! And that's how that ride was, haha.
The next ride was a...big stick with seats on both ends that rotated spun really fast.
65mph, 150 feet tall.
This was the one I enjoyed the most. You start going up slow and then all hell breaks loose. You're just falling and rotating and at points you're not even touching your seat, cause you're upside down and rotating. Then it goes in reverse and does it all over again. Fun stuff.
Next was one that was a little similar than the previous one, but shorter, although they do leave you hanging upside down for a while. But it was milder than the previous one.
Then we got on a very crappy roller coaster with no big drop and it physically beat you up with all the shaking on the turns and shit.
Then another one, where you spin around and the seat you're on also spins up and down. My body had gotten used to all of it and it felt like nothing, but it was fun spinning around every which way :).
And that was it for the feria.
Carlos Ballarta
On Saturday we went to see a comedian called Carlos Ballarta. He has a special on Netflix. He was pretty funny. I like him.
We hung out at Diego's before and after the show. We were supposed to play a board game before the show, but we didn't finish cause we kept discussing useless stuff like we always do, and Claudia got there and we mainly started talking.
After the show we also just hung out talking about music like we often do, and the same bands we always talk about haha. But I enjoy it :).
Sunday
On Sunday me and Leonardo (my two year old son) spent all day at my parents'. It was a chill day, watching football and we watched a Netflix movie: The Babysitter. I liked it. Not kid friendly, haha.
See you next week.
