Puerto Vallarta Excursion (Day One)


SATURDAY
7:00AM: Vallet picked us up. Heading to LAX



8:45: Little hold up at the auto ticket machine, I scanned the wrong part of the passport and it thought I was an employee. Afterwards when we were going through security, mom kept saying

Mom: "Put your boarding pass away, you dont need it now"
Me: -"yeah You do!"
Her: -"Put it away!"

Announcement: Please have your boarning passes out

Me: "HA!"

Arrived in Puerto Vallarta, all our family also happened to arrive at the same time. Customs was a breeze. My uncle was there waiting for us. He got a Van to take everyone else, we went with him. The driver told him it was going to be $50, then tried to raise it to $100, but it didn't work.

Uncle's place is in a huge area called "Paradise Village" as we were driving in the front gate, I saw a huge cage with tigers in it. "There are tigers here?!!" - yes! I really wanted to see some monkeys, and as we drove up to drop off someone at the hotel there were even more cages. Inside; mountain lions, more tigers, and Monkeys!

My uncle owns a condo there, and me and my mom stayed with him. He used some extra time shares for the rest of the family at a nice hotel down the beach.

  • x8 (+1 Glass of straight tequila)
When we first got there, we went to check out the view. Down by the pool there was this guy taking pictures of girls who kept changing their clothes. I think it was for some kinda "Sexy" clothing line. It was entertaining.


We settled in, then went to dinner at a Mexican restaurant. I had "Neptune's Bounty" which was 300 pesos. There were huge caged parrots in the back, We went to see them while we were waiting for our food. Since i think i'm the bird whisperer, I was determined to pet it. There was a sign that says they bite and my cousin said to watch out. I said "It's ok i have a parakeet!" but obviously these parrots were abused my countless touristas fingers, and i got away with it's beak barely grazing my thumb, it's the smallest parrot bite imaginable. If I hadn't been drinking I could have totally conquered it!

The shining is one of those movies that the people who only see it once won't appreciate. If you go into hearing that 'it's scary' you'll be disappointed. It's not your typical horror movie. It's not your typical - movie movie. It's just weird in a way that is hard to put your finger on. It's a movie with a lot of layers.

It's an example of a weird type of paranoia- questioning- is there a hidden meaning or isn't there? Are you just reading too much into it and seeing things or was it intentional? This is also a great example in that it definitely has some hidden meanings but also brings some vagueness since the director is dead and can't verify if they are his intention or coincidence or just accidental.

The idea that he filmed the hallways and blueprints of the hotel being 'impossible' is definitely true. It invokes a type of sub-conscious confusion in that we realize there is something 'wrong' with the orientation but…

With blogger you are able to control which posts are private (saved as drafts) and which you actually post.  About two year ago I went through this blog and took off anything that wasn't "Vinci-related" which was more than half the contents. I've also used this blog as a quazi-journal, slash place to post lyrics and other things that even If I didn't post publicly I kept as drafts to remember something.

Since i'm winding down/ up towards publishing my book - which almost means publishing all the stuff that didn't get included, which out numbers it 1000 fold - I figured this would be a good place to start.

This blog was following along with the writing process and the trials and tribulations I was going through at the time - which ironically were exactly what I would NOT post. But since I finally feel that I can look at those as being 'past' rather than something that is still apart of me - it's more interesting than embarrassing. I feel a lit…
