If you've ever woken up and thought to yourself "i want to chew through a cement block and use a rusty nail to pick my teeth" then you're halfway to understanding the ideal that is vivo mexico. A drink, a dip, an invention by minds far greater than mine. In its most simple, physical form it is a 1/2 shot of jose cuervo (regular of especial) tequila and a 1/2 shot of tostito's chunky salsa. It goes down about as smooth as a handful of glass shards and tastes about as good as a turd wrapped in a kleenex.
But it is more than the drink. Vivo Mexico is a mentality required by the man whose BAC is never below .08. To kick a night off with a vivo mexico you either have to have more balls than the Iceman Chuck Lidell or have down syndrome; and either way you know you're going to have a good time. If by the end of the night you've hidden behind a bush in flight from a giant ogre, pissed in a water fountain, smoked more hookah than the caterpillar in alice in wonderland, were too numb to notice when you put the blunt out on your hand and couldnt get your dick hard enough to have sex with the fatty on the third floor--send out a special thanks to Vivo Mexico. When being a man just isn't enough. Vivo will make you an ultra-man
Note - Invented on the campus of UNC - Chapel Hill

State that lies between Texas and Arizona, largly unknown to most citizens of the United States except for residents, the government, the military, conspiracy theorists, and some artsy folks. Best known for its nukes, Roswell, Santa Fe, chile, its perpetually sunny weather, and desert environment and landscape.
Currently and historically, New Mexico is home to a lot of top secret scientific research. Because of this, New Mexico would have the third largest nuclear arsenal in the world if it split from the US. But realistically such a thing would never happen. New Mexico also has a huge hole in the ground called WIPP for storing nuclear waste.
The state has a large Hispanic population, most of whom don't know or refuse to speak Spanish. The state also has a large Native American population, most of whom belong to several Pueblo tribes. There are also many Caucasians, mostly of Germanic descent.
Although most Americans are ignorant about New Mexico, it has played an important role in history. It was the first region of what is now the US to be settled, it was the site of the first successful Indian Revolt, it kept the Civil War from spreading west by preventing Texas and the South from taking over Mexico and California, it was the site of the first nuclear weapons test, and, well, Roswell, if you believe anything happened there.
The ups to living in New Mexico are the constant sunshine, the relaxed mood, the low cost of living, and plenty of government money and employment. New Mexico is also pretty safe from earthquakes and tornadoes. The downs are the droughts, hoodlums-scavs-chavs-ghettodwellerwannabes, and an occasional wildfire if you are foolish and/or rich enough to build a house in or near a forest.
New Mexico: The Land Of Enchantment
There's no comparison between New Mexican chile and Texan chili. Chile kicks chili's ass and is way hotter.
New Mexico sucks.
New Mexico is beautiful

This seemingly innocent body of water is now screwed by epic proportions along with the fishermen in the area. The cheap bastards at BP cut all costs when it came to trying to fix this epic fucking fail.

unbeknown to almost all, it IS part of the United States and has NO affiliation to Mexico other than its name and its large population of Latinos
New Mexican resident: Man, it was a long drive here from New Mexico.
Ignorant American: There's a NEW Mexico?!?!

An attitude or situation that would only meet the minimum safety conditions of the third world. Otherwise, it is considered absolutely unsafe.
Stacking cardboard fifteen feet high off the bed of a pickup truck and driving full speed on the freeway isn't safe, but it's Mexico safe.
Unsupervised children chasing stray dogs through a busy street is Mexico safe.
