- I took Tammy to her 1st strip club in Mexicali, (For all of those who don't know Tam, Its a big deal.) Tam is one of the most conservative people I know, and by far the most innocent of my friends; still a virgin, doesn't drink, most genuine person I know, put in short shes awesome.Frankly Idk how she deals with our shit. Sorry Tam,we love you but the strip club was far more appealing than the streets of Mexico @2am on a Monday lol.
- Did the whole tourist thing: La bufudora, La Rumorosa, beach, shopping landmarks ect.
- And last but not least the biggest highlight of it all of course was the Bar scene:
I brought in my 23rd year of life a week early @ Mango Mango with all the Mexican Marines we met earlier that night at Hussongs (an awesome old school bar est in 1823) which had live Mariachi and Banda . For all you who have partied with Mexicans you know just how it goes when you have all this added into the mix. After killing an unknown number of buckets with my newfound Marine friends, we ventured out into the next club. Mango Mango the scene was more Non traditional Mexican no sombreros or cowboy boots found here. Bachata, Merengue, Cumbias and some occasional Banda blaring out the speakers.
Once at a table I then continued my mission of aiding my fellow Marines kill buckets of beer, while dancing in between. In mid turn getting my Cumbia on, my dancing was cut short. Pissed off and disappointed I looked to the stage to find mariachis getting ready to play. Marine#3 grabbed my hand and rushed me on stage where Las Manaitas were now playing, a man stood with a cupcake in hand with a lit candle awaiting... Drunk and confused I thought this couldnt possibly be for me. When had they arranged this? Why? How? This was my dream come true how did they know I had always dreamed of the day where I would have live mariachis cantarme las mananitas instead of all the annoying picture msg/forwards I recieve on my birthday with the crappy audio. Sadly since it was so unexpected and such a surprise there are no pictures of me in this glorious moment, crowd cheering for me to blow out the candle, Mariachis playing, biting the cake and of course as mexican tradition has it..... getting my face shoved into the cake. Once I was cleaned off and ready to get off stage extremely satisfied the man holding a bottle of tequila let me know there was more, the party wasnt over yet. Omg!!!!? I was ecstatic this was literally was my dream come. I was asked to open my mouth and recieve shots of tequila squirted into my mouth. Upon swollowing , a man put his hand over my mouth and shook the shit out of me. I felt as if I had just had a spiritual awakening, got off stage in my full glory to ppl giving me hugs and birthday wishes.

Made my way over to a new dance partner and danced the night away until I felt I hit a wall, pretty early in the night since I had started @8 . I then pulled Tammy away from her Marine lover and let her know I had to lie down. We were then followed out of the club by our 2 wanna be Marine lovers who "just wanted to make sure we made it to our hotel room safe" and to make sure this was done they took the liberty of walking into our hotel room. Marine #1 crawling into Tams Bed, Tam and I turned to Marine #2 for answers and expectations we werent about to spend the night with 2 non goodlooking Marines we had just met in Mexico who on top of their ugliness were in commited relationships. Right then the room phone rang, we were saved by the bell. It was the reception desk letting us know that were not to be any over night guests and with that excuse and 3 phone calls later from the front desk we were finally able to get rid of them.
I stepped out on the balcony to enjoy my last satisfying moment of the night, behind a cigarette I reminisced on the earlier events of the day."What an awesome night", I thought to myself in mid drag "the only thing missing was birthday sex." Calm down E, I answered myself in thought your real birthday isn't until next week."
