This summer I worked in the state of New Mexico and was privy to its eclectic population and landscape. I therefore bring you a compilation of the very essence of the Duke City and its glory.
The pinnacle of New Mexican lawn art: a beer keg!
They're not called speed bumps in New Mexico, they're called "speed humps." Why? I don't know. Nevertheless, everytime I saw one of these signs I couldn't help but remember that freakishly catchy Black Eyed Peas song...
Sometimes New Mexico was pretty hard to differentiate from old school Mexico...
There were, however, some amazing sunsets over the desert horizon.
This is Rudy. He's a friendly Christian homosexual who got tipsy (actually, he was pretty plastered) while grocery shopping and asked me for a ride home because some black folks were chasing him. He fell flat on his back when he exited my Subaru, but it was still my good turn for the day.
Not even the proper spelling and grammar of curse words are needed in Albuquerque! Notice the exclamation point
in between the o and u in you...
Bud Light and Budweiser... pick your brew!
Just one of many Meximullet sightings at the several local Wal-Mart locations...
One Sunday Joseph and I hit up a megachurch--Legacy Church. It wasn't as loud and sensational as its bronze dome would dictate, but it was still fun. Besides, we got a free mug for being first-time parishoners!
Yeah... Che Guevara was really a uniter in the name of peace... How can people be so blatantly ignorant and dumb? The joke's on you, New Mexico peaceniks. With all of the bases and defense contractor labs, your state does more per capita for our military than almost any other state in the nation.
The brightest spot on the blight of ABQ is by far the temple there. Thank goodness they didn't go for an adobe architectural style...

First of all, what is wrong with adobe anyway? Second of all, they are called speed humps because they are wider and not yellow, at least that's why in Phoenix, and third of all, the sunsets are better in AZ, sorry you didn't live there. Have a nice day!
Adobe sucks. It's brown, and it mocks the Native American architectural way. Humps belong on camels, not on the road.
Thanks for saying you hate me
Would it make you feel any better if I said that Phoenix is a better city in every way? And I mean that because it has a professional basketball team?
Yes that does make me feel better, because it's true. Just so you know Bukran, you can paint adobe...
You can also paint a horse, but it doesn't make it right...
