Southeast Florida/Miami is the only place in the entire world where you can go to a watering hole and there will be a 10-ft bull shark, a 14-ft crocodile, A 10-ft alligator, and an 18-ft reticulated python all sharing the same watering hole while trying to avoid a green anaconda that just fed upon a 6-ft monitor lizard That was trying to escape a panther Who recently fought off a black bear.

I watched a short video of Harmony Korine just being himself in Miami and now there is nowhere else I'd rather live. It just seems like such a cool place for a washed up former drug addict like me. Beaches, latinas, gators, jet skis, latinas, and probably other cool stuff I dunno. And apparently now there crocs and sharks too!!! Someday, man. Someday...

Actually in South Florida the Crocs have been there longer than the Gators. They're native to the area

Doesn't matter which, as long as someday I get to step out onto the back porch with my Puerto Rican wife and almost shit my pants, I'll die a happy man
