BajaNomad - Isnt it funny....

Isnt it funny....

Frank - 9-11-2005 at 02:11 PM

Isnt it funny how laid back Baja can be. It has deserted beaches, great landscapes, really just everything you could want or need to relax. But just below all of that relaxed state of mind you have all this Bullsh@t. It seems like there has to be turmoil somewhere in your lives, if it doesnt happen naturally then you will make it happen here.
From the outside looking in, you guys all look like a bunch of miserable people living in paradise. I havent met anybody but Bernie { who is a great guy}, I only hope your not a miserable in REAL life as you seem on here. I know I dont have to read these types of posts, but they now out number the real Baja posts.
My fishing boards during the offseason arent even this bad.
Just had to give my view of things.......

pokey - 9-11-2005 at 02:18 PM

shucks Frank, if you lived here you'd be miserable too. What with all the beautiful weather, good fishing, cheap beer, fine women, good food, cheap cost of living, wide open empty places; it's rough man it's rough.

Another lousy day in Paradise

Pokey: the optimal words being: "cheap beer and fine women." :biggrin:

JZ - 9-11-2005 at 02:30 PM

Anyway, what are you talking about Frank. While I haven't read every thread, I only see 1 or 2 that are negative. Seems a lot better than a week ago. What am I missing.

Tucker - 9-11-2005 at 02:36 PM

Frank, I think if you had posted this 10 days to two weeks ago it would have made some sense, recently I think things have mellowed out.. There are those ego-driven folks who will always be with us, but hopefully they will come and go at an even rate and we wont become overpopulated by them again.

Yep I am one miserable so and so.

Thats why I post pix of flowers, churches, altars, cacti, etc. (The etc are truly hard to find this time of year)

I have to sign off, I have some milk I need to cry into.
boo hoo

One Man's Misery.........

MrBillM - 9-11-2005 at 04:04 PM

Is another's contentment. I'm always amused by these people who say "you're just so mean and miserable" usually because they look at life differently. You're assuming a state of mind you would like to think exists because of your way of looking at life. Heck, I've known some really "Rotten-Ass, Crooked, Abusive SOBs (not here, of course) who were happily enjoying every moment of their lives.

You haven't by chance got one of those Bumper Stickers that say "Mean People Suck" have you ? I usually see them on a beat-up vehicle driven by a refugee from the Peace/Love Generation.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm having a decent life. Better health would improve it, but it's still OK.

Frank - 9-11-2005 at 04:33 PM

Nah Im far from the hippy type, beleive me. In fact Baja is one of the places I go to be human again { I can be one of those mean people that suck} . But the storm looks like its starting up again.

Pokey... You knowwww....

Tucker - 9-11-2005 at 04:38 PM

Frank, sounds as if you want the storm to start again......I don't see any reason for it.

Frank - 9-11-2005 at 04:53 PM

No not at all Tucker. Maybe I was reading more into a few recent posts then there was, in fact I wont mention another word about it.

check out the latest garbage at Baja q and a...

eetdrt88 - 9-11-2005 at 05:05 PM

its suddenly turned into "Attack of the Anons" :lol:

Franks right about Baja being pretty laid back and this board seems to be the opposite at times but maybe thats one of the reasons its a special place...we all kinda rile each other up,mostly in fun though....i just thought the jr-davidk bs got old after a while as well as the whole chicken coop,gringo enclave rhetoric...nobody wants to listen to someone who sits around and categorically judges everybody by where they live or who they hang out with in baja or anywhere else for that matter....

bajajudy - 9-11-2005 at 05:05 PM

Does this mean I dont have to drink this darn milk?

Muy Bueno, I think I have a Pacifico and SMILE

Frank - 9-11-2005 at 06:07 PM

:lol:

capn.sharky - 9-11-2005 at 06:54 PM

So, tell me Frank----if you haven't met most of us, how can you say we are such a miserable lot? You met Bernie. Are you judging us all by meeting one person. There are some really nice people on this board. Yea, sure, couple of a--holes, but aren't there always. Hope you can get over it.

Maybe reading it a second time you'll understand what I meant. I hope I do get to meet most of you.

not the case

mulege marv - 9-12-2005 at 05:58 AM

What about fine beer and cheap women?

vandenberg - 9-12-2005 at 10:01 AM

CHEAP WOMEN ??

Lots of fine beer ,but no such thing as CHEAP women

Mas Barato ?

MrBillM - 9-12-2005 at 10:22 AM

While not cheap, the ladies of Tijuana and San Luis used to be reasonably priced.

bajajudy - 9-12-2005 at 11:03 AM

Senor A
Yes but I am lurking and watching and I am not cheap. My silence will cost you..big time.
And you thought that trip to Costco was expensive....HA

Amen

MrBillM - 9-12-2005 at 11:39 AM

The most expensive girls/women have been the ones I lived with or married, especially the last Ex.

bajalera - 9-12-2005 at 12:00 PM

Marv, you had no right to post that picture of me in my purple swimsuit without my permission.

bajajudy - 9-12-2005 at 12:23 PM

Lera, can I borrow the green bathing cap?

Diver - 9-12-2005 at 12:46 PM

Marv,

Is that gas ? :lol:

Looks painful ! :lol:

What a guy.....Frank said I was a nice guy and this is your response! I don't believe that I have met you but I would not make the above statement about you. Now do you see what Frank was getting at?????

bajaden - 9-12-2005 at 11:40 PM

I can't believe they actually caught us together Lera. Ok Frank baby. How dare you acuse me of being a miserable person. I hate you, you SOB. As a matter of fact, I hate all of you miserable people. Your all a bunch of jerks with nothing positive to say. I won't name name's of course. That would be personal. I certainlly don't want to get personal here. Certainly you know I'm not talking about you Lera. I mean, after all we've been through. There, I feel better now. And look at the money I saved by not going to a shrink. There is a purpose to this. Thanks Frank. And thank you Lera........

bajalera - 9-13-2005 at 11:10 AM

Judy, you can have the green hat as a gift, since I've just bought a new one that's more the REAL ME. [Pink with blue and chartreuse sequins, and just a touch of gold braid--really an elegant fashion statement.]

Den, I don't know how they caught us when we've been so discreet. Maybe we'll have to stop meeting like this?

Lera

bajaden - 9-14-2005 at 12:28 AM

For heavens sake Lera, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I knew it would end. Damm

Hey Judy, what are you doing later?

Phil S - 9-14-2005 at 11:15 AM

"Miserable lot"
Well frankly, I read his post, and didn't take it seriously as you did Sharky. I reread it, and guess it could be interpreted two ways. I'll take the positive way, and look forward to meeting up with him some day. That is if he comes to Loreto/Nopolo

And as far as the animated swim suiters. I'm just glad (positive thoughts?) that he didn't put them 'against' each other.

Frank - 9-14-2005 at 04:49 PM

Hey Phil S, I meant nothing in a negative way. All the "in fighting" was getting me down about a place that I love to be in and explore. The best part of the peninsula has been the people. I just wanted the crap on the board to stop, I was close to not logging on again. Hope to meet you in Loreto/Nopolo soon, its my 1/2 way stop to Verdugos. I usually stay with Gail @ Quinta San Francisco in Loreto.
Baja is my carrot, Frank

Frank

Baja Bernie - 9-14-2005 at 06:56 PM

I told them when you first joined that you were a true Baja Guy! Guess they didn't hear me.

Hang in there it is still the Paradise that we talked about.
