What bored soldiers do (part 6)

Nature at its best.

Here are some pictures from my recent trip to Yellowstone, Grand Teton and Jackson Hole.

how adorable!

Eversince I went to MN and saw these yorkies nestled on top of a counter in a store, I got enamored by their cuteness. How could you not love these adorable creatures. They look like ewoks and just simply are so huggable. If I get a dog, I want a yorkie. Or maltese.

USOpen blah blah blah

This past US Open was the most blah of all the slam this year. Not only did Andy Roddick, Venus Williams and the Bryan Brothers get eliminated earlier than I expected, Serena lost too because of a bad foot fault call that made her go gaga. The only note worthy mention is the women's double title going to the Williams sisters. Men's champion? blah blah blah. Women's champion? blah blah blah The whole US Open in my opinion was blah blah blah this year.

Zac and Brent

Je vous présente Zac Efron, the triple threat delicious young actor. Star of High School, the Musical and 17 Again. It is highly cougay of me to like him but I have no apologizes to offer. It is what it is.

And on this corner I present Brent Corrigan. He could easily serve as a double for Zac. Same built, same hair, same face from afar and same twink charisma. They could be brothers for all intent and purposes. Don't you think so? The similarities ends there. Brent is a gay adult porn star. And may I say quite the talented one too. Voila!

Men and Women in Film

Here are some famous faces in films morphing. I recognized about a quarter of the faces and mostly towards the end. How many can you recognize?

Blogging and me (part 7)

I have noticed lately that my blog has assumed such a negative tone. It's mostly bitching and complaining about things, events or people. And I say why not? After all for me blogging is therapeutic. Being able to vent my frustration and anger through writing is much better than doing something stupid. And if anybody does not care for it, they can just stop reading my blog. Problem solved. LOL

17 again.

When 17 again came out on DVD, I made sure I had it on my priority queue in netflix. 17 again is a movie about a guy who wished he was able to relive his life when he was 17 years old. For such a simple premise/story line. 17 again was delightful. It made me laugh and teary eyed all in a good way. Of course it helped a lot that Zac Effron was the lead star. Definitely very cougay of me to lust for him. hahaha He is such a pretty boy rather than ruggedly handsome.

a thin line between demanding and hoping

There is something to be said about a person demanding something. And there is something to be said about a person hoping for something but not demanding it. In many instances, what really irks me is a person demanding something out of a situation that is not even suppose to be happening.

One example is this woman from my old job. While working with her spanish speaking father, we had an in-house interpreter work with us during our treatment sessions. At that time my spanish was not good enough to allow me to communicate directly with the patient. So the next best thing was to have an interpreter with us. The woman asked for a spanish speaking therapist to work with her dad but unfortunately there was none. And this bitch had the audacity to say "This is unacceptable, you SHOULD have a spanish speaking therapist!" Unfortunately I was forced to hold my tongue otherwise she would have heard attitude from me. We are in Chicagoso so why should we be expected to speak their language? If anything else, they should learn english since they choose to live here. That was just wrong.

In my current job which serves a lot of spanish speaking patients, I have fortunately not encountered a person demanding that we speak spanish to them. A lot of them actually are so pleased and thankfull that I can somehow communicate with them in spanish. Granting my grammar may not be perfect but the message gets across. In these instances, they hope that someone can speak spanish to them but not demand it. That is how it should be.

Drunken white chicks.

I once rode the brown line heading downtown at around 9:30 in the evening on a Friday. As the train stopped at the Belmont station, a group of 7 twenty something white chicks boarded. They were dress like they have been drinking out in the bars/clubs with revealing outfit and cleavage. Not necessarily whorish but sexy enough that I am sure any warm blooded breeder man in his prime would find titillating and alluring. I noticed one girl put out a ciggy and several of them pull out alcoholic beverages bottle. Mind you there were signs posted against that inside the train. Perhaps they were out of towners/burbanites or just simply decided to ignore the rules. It was obvious that they were already inebriated prior to boarding the train and the libation they continue to consume made the matter worst. So what do you get when you mix alcohol and youth? Inappropriate behaviors that would normally get checked by the frontal lobes of our brain. One began singing some popular song and before you know it the lot of them were blaring at the top of their voices. In an enclosed space such as a train car, it was so loud and insufferable. The motion of the train and their noise literally gave me a headache. So instead of telling them to stop and get confronted by 7 drunk chicks, I decided to take a video using my phone secretly. The quality of course is poor and I have to be covert about it. Here it is.


I have had my share of drunkenness but I hope I was not an obnoxious drunk like these girls. My friend said I get friendly and smile a lot when I had something to drink. Friendly is good, obnoxious not.
