Secret Life

boring in my hut, because there is nothing for a mayan teenager to do after his teachings. So I recently started reading my grand fathers journal entries. There were a few mistakes, but I think he did alright. He had a interesting story about his mayan life as a teenager. After a few minutes more of reading I went downstairs and I saw tortillas, Tamales, and hot atole.

In the movie, Saw VII: The Final Chapter, a deadly conflict rages over Jigsaw's brutal legacy, as a group of Jigsaw survivors gather to seek the support of a fellow Jigsaw survivor Bobby Dagen, who wrote a book on his survival from Jigsaw and whose own dark secrets unleash a new surge of terror.
