I found out I was allergic the hard way a few years ago.
If it comes from the water and doesn't have fins and scales, I don't eat it.
Even so, I don't hardly eat fish of any kind anymore unless it's so fresh it's flopping moments before it goes on...

After we reached a certain age, our parents felt comfortable leaving my brother and I on our own and would spend the occasional weekend away from home. Those Saturday nights would find mi hermano, a few of his friends and me staying up to watch th...
Being the younger brother, more shit was done to me than I did to my brother. That's not to say I didn't do shit to my bro', but he pulled off better shit on me than I did on him. The implicit fear of the beating I'd receive may have been a deterr...
