dancing with wolves

til saturday i am house-sitting for my auntie, who's off to vegas, to watch bette midler.

she has 6 dogs. all chihuahuas.

you might think that that's cute, but if you've ever seent these dogs, you'd know it's more like fierce.

these dogs are seriously a pack of wolves. you should see them when i let them out of their cagehouse. they move out like they're all one mass of dog.

they bark at anything. they bark at me when i turn the door knob, they bark at me when i reach into the cagehouse to pick up their poop, they bark at the night just to let me know that they know that i'm trying to sleep.

but i can see why people would want to have dogs around. each of them has their own personality, and some of them are hilarious:

- the big headed one is hella funny. she goes to the bathroom by herself, eats by herself, likes to sleep on the smaller couch. and then when everybody's sleeping, she sneaks up from behind and hella starts humping them. hahaha.. genius.

- susan roses is a diva. if she were a 7 year old girl, she'd prolly tell everyone that i was her boyfriend, cuz i hella spoil her.

- snack'ems is the alpha male, hella fierce jo, even though she's a girl dog. she also has a skunk line down her back. she should be called skunk'ems.

- the one that looks like a collie used to be boring, but today she was being hella funny playing around with her siblings when they didn't even wanna play.

- duke and lucky are like a couple. duke hella waits on lucky whenever i let them out.


anyways, if you're around the area, you should try and come through the backyard and spy on us while i'm playing wii sports. i bet i look hella funny all by myself when i celebrate and dance with 6 chihuahuas sleeping on couches around me.

quick

eggs are prolly the best food ever.
fat and protein
oil and water
scrambled or over easy

so good.

yesterday i discovered something new about eggs though:

i used to think that poaching your eggs was somewhere around the top for healthiest ways to prepare your eggs. there's no oil, so you aren't adding extra fat to the meal. and it just sounds healthier. poach. poached eggs

but when i was poaching an egg yesterday i realized how wrong i've been my whole life. poaching is prolly the least healthy method for serving eggs. cuz when you poach an egg, sometimes up to HALF of the white falls off, leaving you with less protein than you bargained for. then i realized, of course! eggs benedict, the butteriest thing you can have for breakfast, uses poached eggs.

crazy

eyawn just doesn't understand

mr. g, it's starting to feel like you get personally offended when people hate on "your" lakers. and it's not even like that. cuz really, i admire the work you do as a person. you can't see me, but right now, i am standing an applauding your work as a teacher.

but the more i think about it, of all laker fans, even as hardcore as you claim to be, you should be the one to understand the mindset of any of one of the many bay-area-based-laker-haters. after all, you have embraced the bay area as another home (actually, at one point in time, you embraced the warriors, but that's ok, most of us didn't take that personally)

so you should at least kinna understand what bay area sports feel like.

it feels like manny ramirez turns down the giant's, who offered him the exact same contract he is in right now, just cuz it's la

it feels like frickin usc ucla gettin all media attention

it feels like i fuckin hate anaheim and anything there (sorry phil) and game 6 of the 2002 world series and the stupid ducks

it feels like sportscenter la?! why do i need a different sportscenter from la?

ok i know now it sounds like i'm whining, and if i think about it, i guess i am, but maybe it boils down to this:

- the warriors franchise looks like it has no idea what they're doing, even though they have/had the most loyal fanbase in the nba.
- the lakers franchise seems to know exactly what they're doing, and even though you and paul seem to know how to properly watch a basketball game, most "die-hard" laker fans i've come across are ignorant about the game and just have no idea what they're talking about. understandably so, since the franchise has spoiled them with a continually successful basketball team and therefore they don't really need to know anything except how to know if the team won or not.
(it feels like those two points need some proof or something, so @eyawn, please bring me a reliable sample of 100 laker fans and i'll prove my point. if you cannot, then i win)

man this post has become me rambling now. i don't even wanna post it anymore, but i have to cuz i said i would. maybe i'll join the post-a-day crew.

fuck la

just for fun

manny pacquiao

i am culturally obligated to post something about the pac man. even though most folks are already thinking in their heads and hearts what i'm about to write, i still have to put it down.

"I have been defeated before, so I know what it is like, but a lot of people in the Philippines are willing me to win and praying for me. The guns are silent in the street every time I fight. There is no fighting, no crime. I would fight every day just for my people, if the guns will stay silent. These are the thoughts I carry to the ring and they are powerful thoughts. I am not trying to win this fight alone." -Manny Pacquiao

(well said, manny)

he looks like us, he talks like us, he even uses the same karaoke that i do. he is our champion. plain and simple. he fights for you, seriously. even if you don't follow boxing, or like boxing, or sports. as long as you like being filipino (sooo, not you michelle), manny pacquiao does it for you, i'm dead serious.

and it's not the same thing when kobe, lebron, baron, barry, or michael phelps say "I do it for my fans/country/people". bs. I'm sorry that i even had to mention those heroic hacks in the same post. manny does it for his people 198314754 times more than any high-profile athlete on this planet. he proves it time and time again.

right now, as we see him, manny pacquiao is, in practically every possible way, our real-life superhero. so please savor this time in our history, because it's a little hard to see what his future is going to look like. (i'm not saying he's going to fail in politics, i'm just saying)


And just one more photo for fun, but i don't know who to credit, so if you made this image, cheers.
