![]() ![]() Guerrero was a fronterizo, one who was at home on both sides of the El Paso-Juárez border. “Arriba Juárez, arriba Mexico, arriba El Paso,” he’d say during interviews. Seemingly every time he spoke, he mentioned not just Juárez but El Paso. If you listened to Guerrero close enough, you could hear him speaking Spanish with an accent, the sort that, if he wasn’t who he was, could get him described as a “ pocho”. And though he likely spent as much time in Juárez as in El Paso-as many of us who live on the United States-Mexico borderlands do-he went to school on the north side of that divide, at Jefferson High School–or La Jeff, as we used to call it. Guerrero was from El Paso, on the other side of the border. ![]() There was also something else about Guerrero that made him different: the way he spoke and the things he said. Someone like El Santo was “old man Mexican buff,” Eddie Guerrero was not. Because he didn’t wear a mascara, he appeared younger than other wrestlers, and he was also more athletic, and with a slimmer build, than the usual luchadores, who years later we described as “old man Mexican buff”-thick, flat-chested torsos with powerful arms and a layer of fat covering their muscles. The youngest of the Guerrero family was charismatic, with long hair that went past his neck. That wasn’t what made him stand out, though. My uncle and grandmother–who often took me to the lucha libre, and who had watched for decades–mentioned that Guerrero was part of a legendary wrestling family. Guerrero differed from the other luchadores. I watched Konnan turn heel-it was the sort of act that could break a prepubescent child’s heart, if not for Eddie Guerrero. He wore a mask, had the physique of a superhero, and at first, didn’t speak, then communicated only in English to keep his mysterious aura. Around the time of Eddie Guerrero, Konnan also started wrestling in Juárez. ![]() and, on a special occasion, the priest-turned-luchador Fray Tormenta-the inspiration for the main character in Nacho Libre-wrestled and sold key chains as part of his fundraising to support an orphanage. Still, every Tuesday and Sunday, the gym hosted lucha libre nights, with Europe’s “ Final Countdown” serving as the theme song both in person and on television.Īmong other luchadores who regularly fought in Juárez were Rocky Star, who rumor had it, was a local pharmacist. If you were lucky, that liquid was beer, though it was hard to distinguish it from the agua de riñon that misted over the ring. If you went there enough times, however, you instinctually learned that, after controversial matches, you had to be wary of getting splashed by what filled the cups thrown into the ring. It was never clear if the lights were purposefully set low to disguise the gym, or if that was the extent of their illumination. Its bathrooms were almost unusable, and low-dimmed lights kept one’s vision from fully taking in the surroundings. The gym was in rough shape back in the late 1980s. ![]() Eddie Guerrero attends a press conference to promote Wrestlemania XX at Planet Hollywood Main New York City. I used to watch Guerrero fight in the Gimnasio Josué Neri Santos-a gym in downtown Juárez, less than a mile from the border separating two countries. And though he is largely known for his WWE wrestling, I first saw him–and this is how I still remember him–away from the televised events of multimillion dollar wrestling corporations, and removed from the celebrity he found later in his career. But then again, I never associated glamor with Guerrero. This is where Eddie Guerrero comes from, and this is where we return to, 12 years after the wrestler’s death.Īs it’s caught in the middle between a decade and a 15-year anniversary, remembering the dozen years since his passing is not a particularly attractive activity. The sand blasts mixed with the sun and dry heat–born from months between rains–eats away at anything colorful. On those days, the sky turns a light pink, and you hear what sounds like a low-powered sand blaster hitting house windows and cars. And even then, sandstorms that seemingly come once every month-and-a-half will likely damage both. To grow either requires great investment in time and money-assuming there are no watering restrictions. Either that or simply weeds and dirt, both more common than grass and trees in the barren desert. Colored rocks, surrounded by long rows of rock walls are a common part of the area’s home landscaping. Very few things grow in the Chihuahuan Desert, where El Paso–the westernmost part of Texas–meets Juárez, the northernmost point of the Mexican state of Chihuahua. ![]()

![]() The first thing I noticed that was out of place was when I pressed start, there’s was a split second when I saw the title image turned into something much different, something that I now consider horrifying, before cutting to black. When the title screen popped up I noticed that it was the first Sonic game, I was like “Awesome!” Because like I said earlier I liked the classics. I went up to my room and turned on my computer and put the disc in and installed the game. When I saw “SONIC” on the writing of the CD, I was actually excited and wanted to play it, since I’m a a BIG Sonic fan. I didn’t think that a simple gaming disc would do anything bad to him, after all it’s just a game right? Boy, was I wrong about that…Īnyway, I looked at the disc and it looks like any ordinary computer CD-R disc, except it had black marker on it written “SONIC.EXE”, and it was much unlike Kyle’s handwriting, meaning that he must’ve gotten it from someone else, like a pawn shop or eBay. Even though Kyle is my best friend and I haven’t seen him in 2 weeks, I didn’t do what he asked me. Don’t even play the game, it’s what he wants, just destroy it. Please Tom, destroy this god-forsaken disc before he comes after you too, it’s too late for me.ĭestroy the disc, and you’ll destroy him, but do it quick otherwise he’ll catch you. I can’t do it, he’s after me, and if you don’t destroy this CD, he’ll come after you too, he’s too fast for me…. I can’t take it anymore, I had to get rid of this thing somehow before it was too late, and I was hoping you’d do it for me. ![]() I know that because I recognized his handwriting, though what was weird is how it looked it looked badly written and scratchy and somewhat difficult to read, as if Kyle was having a hard time writing it down and did it in a hurry. I looked at the note first and realized it was from my dear friend Kyle (let’s just call him that), whom I hadn’t heard from in 2 weeks. The only thing in the Mailbox was a CD case for computers and a note. I paused my game to go see what I got in the mail. I was playing Sonic Unleashed (I liked how you get to explore the towns in it) until I noticed, out of my peripheral vision, that the mailman had arrived and put something in my mailbox as usual and left. I don’t think I’ve ever played glitchy or hacked games before, though I don’t think I want to play any after the experience I had… ![]() I like the newer games, but I don’t mind playing the classics. I’m a total Sonic the Hedgehog fan much like everyone else. exe is something else and far darker entirely. Soon after beginning the game however, the player begins to experience strange phenomena and realises that this game is very different from anything he has played before.Īlthough it employs many of the same established tropes as the Ben Drowned creepypasta, (for example the concept of the ‘haunted or cursed object’ in this case a game that the user has come across in some unconventional way), unlike the BEN Drowned Creepypasta in which the cartridge is haunted by the spirit of a previous player, Sonic exe instead presents the eponymous character, an alternate version of video game icon Sonic the Hedgehog, itself as malevolent entity. Switching focus from Nintendo to sega the story concerns a version of the classic game Sonic the Hedgehog that the narrator picks up as an. is a creepypasta story based around a ‘haunted’ computer game.

My printer (print-on-demand service) just adds extra blank pages to the end of the book to accomodate this if it does not come out even. I understand that books print with multi-fold layouts. The problem lies in if I need to insert pages into the middle of a chapter, the "page shuffle" gets all screwed up, because the text frames don't align with margins of the spine (if the page insertaion happens to change where the left and right hand pages fall in the shuffle). If the last page of the last chapter ends on a left hand page, the start of chapter page starts on a right hand page and I have a "split spread" in which case the left hand page is from the 2 page spread master but using only the left hand page of the master, the right hand page of the spread is the single start of chapter page. Then I add the 1 page start of chapter to start a new chapter. The chapter may end on a left or right page, it doesn't matter. I click the out port of the text frame of the start of chapter page, and shift-click the two page spread and the text auto flows into that creating pages as needed. Then I add the 2 page spread for the rest of the chapter contents. I start a chapter with the 1 page master. ![]() The 1 page master has two frames, top for chapter heading, bottom for beginning chapter text. I have a 2 page master for following pages of a chapter. I have a 1 page master for the first page of chapters. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my initial question. Thanks for the help RE: Reshuffle facing pages apepp (TechnicalUser) 1 Aug 09 17:46 My question is, does InDesign allow you to "reflow" objects between pages of spreads so that they take into acount which way the page is facing? This also means the text frames do not fall inside the margins defined on the master pages for the chapter spreads. In other words, where they were closer to the outer edge to allow for a wider margin for the spine, they now are closer to the spine than the outer edge. Now I have run into a problem because I need to add a page to the end of a chapter, but when I do that the shuffle of the following pages puts the chapter text frames on the wrong side. 2) 2 page spreads for chapter text with the inside (spine) margins larger than outside margins.ģ) Single blank master pages for copyright, title, and other miscellaneous pages. ![]() ![]() ![]() We have gathered all Windows 11 stock wallpapers in a ZIP archive you can download using this link.
