Nuria told her cousin that her dog had to put socks on to come in so he wouldn't scratch the floor.

Yesterday was El Bando de la Huerta. It's a party celebrating the history of Murcia being a major producer of fruits and vegetables for Spain and the rest of Europe. Everyone dresses up with the clothes they wore way back in the past.

Car I really liked but couldn't get a picture of.

Monday night I talked to one of my best friends, Aaron, for a half hour. It was great talking to soomeone who has been a friend for 24 of my almost 29 years on Earth. We even figured out that we both proposed in the exact same way. I guess great minds do think alike!

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES - Official Teaser Trailer - UK (HD)

The trailer doesn't seem that great  but it doesn't matter, it's my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I will see it!

GBO!!

I had forgotten how much I like March Madness. The past couple of years I watched very few, if any games. That us not the case this year. I had Duke winning it all in one of my brackets but I'm extremely glad they lost. Now is your chance Vols. GBO!

I'm sure the neighbors are wondering what could I possibly be yelling about. I have to properly introduce Spain to March Madness.

Took a quiz to see what country I belonged in and look what I got.

Happy Spanish father's day to all the fathers out there. Very glad to have a day off in the middle of the week. Back to work tomorrow.

The Blindside has been on tv a couple times this week so almost every person I know has commented on Michael Oher playing ball in Tennessee.

A lot of football happenings this week but switching sports, big shout out to my cuz Dre and the rest of the Oak Ridge Wildcats. Runner-up isn't a bad thing at all. Stay hungry though, State champs next year!

Went to watch murcia's football game. Felt great to see some real football!
