Before there was Instagram, before facecrack and before Twitter, there was MySpace. It ramped up around 2005 and then peaked about 2008 and shortly after that everyone was migrating to facecrack, myself included. Then I joined Twitter. So far I’ve resisted Instagram.

The blog is going to be quarantined until this Cornoavirus thingy is over with.
Tuesday we have a continuing update in the MBIP Mexican food tour because it was done last week. But outside of that all of the posts will be done from the MBIP World Headquarters for the next couple of weeks because I’m trying to limit myself from going out and getting exposed to this fucking virus and you should too.
Stay tuned to see what I come up with and hopefully this won’t last more than a few weeks. Time will tell.
Be safe and be well everyone, this Coronavirus will pass and better times are in the future!
