Don't even get me started on the oil spill. 49 days now and still no real progress... Sure, I'm not a bonafide Louisianan, but fuck if I'm not pissed off that my homestate-away-from-home is getting fucked over. Between Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Ike, Governor Jindal, and now this, I swear it doesn't catch a break! It doesn't really help the situation when people who may be concerned can't truly assess the irrevocable damage wrought in the Gulf right now. If It Was My Home is a site that literally brings the spill to you, updating it with NOAA calculations of the growing black mass, then applying it to Google Maps.


Well isn't that special. puke mad blackeyed

Are we still chanting "Drill baby, drill"? Just wondering.




Being scatterbrained is no fun. Especially when you're scheming to ensure this year's birthday is one of the better ones you've experienced in your adult years... although each time you try to make it memorable it is in the WORST WAY IMAGINABLE. Everything I've thought of doing so far involves a fair amount of risk. Swimming with sharks. Hanggliding. Human slingshot. Cliffdiving. Junk like that. What about you, fair people? What would you like to do most of all for your birthday?

Meanwhile, I read a number of "40 Things About You" blogs the past week, including Bellica's (who just HAD to add 10 more to be a cool kid). Of course, I felt compelled to compose my own list of vainglorious, narcissistic, celebratory ramblings of who I am and why you should care. biggrin ENJOY!

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
1. I didn't take my first breath until 5 minutes after my birth.

2. The highest belt I achieved in any martial art I studied was blue, third degree. I miss it.

3. Due to its consistent exposure on SG, I think I'm desensitized to ass. AND I REALLY LOVED ASS. Thanks a lot, models.

4. I have psychic dreams. A choice few of you know of this, personally.

5. Out of all condiments, I prefer Chinese hot/Dijon mustard and wasabi. Mainly for flavor; the "burn" barely affects me.

6. I've nearly died 5... no, 6 times.

7. The only thing I fear is dying fairly young and unaccomplished.

8. I actually miss the 80s. For their music, mostly.

9. As a kid, I wanted to be one of three things: A paleontologist, a neurosurgeon, or a FATHER. I honestly believed I could get paid and benefits for the latter. I was 5.

10. I have never smoked weed. Doesn't mean I'm against trying it, but that perfect opportunity hasn't occurred.

11. Illustration was the first true love. Yet I haven't put pencil to pad in years. I'm starting to feel the same for photography and it scares me.

12. I need a muse (see: 11).

13. I lost my front baby teeth when eating a Wendy's chicken sandwich. Dived in for a bite, came out missing a pair of pearlies. LOL

14. I don't give a fuck what you think, I wish Carla Gugino was my cougar girlfriend.

15. It ain't easy being multi-ethnic: I've all natural hair colors growing on my noggin, in all manner of kink and curl. Some areas may be wavier than others, etc.

16. For some reason, when I call people for the first time who've seen me online yet never heard me before, 9 times out of 10 they say I "sound black". Thanks?

17. I crush too easily.

18. Whenever it rains, I tend to go outside. To the beach, if possible.

19. I like dogs over cats. The larger the dog, the better.

20. Mandarin, Japanese, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Latin, Ebonics. All languages I speak poorly.

21. At age 7, some "psychically attuned" lady at the San Jose Flea Market told Mom that my aura was seldom seen on this world and that I'm best suited with an Asian or Arab mate. huh.

22. Although never diagnosed, I believe I've a mild form of hypochondria. I always feel that as soon as I'll let my guard down, I'll get SOMETHING.

23. Dirty Talk = FUN

24. I thought I'd have a kid by now. Being Uncle Rex to a number of friends' kids is good enough for now.

25. My guiltiest food pleasure is bread pudding. If you can get me a fresh batch from Mother's of New Orleans, however, I will marry you.

26. The older I get, the more I think kids (age 20 and below) have no fucking clue. Now I know how my parents likely felt.

27. I was a pageant contestant.

28. No matter how much I wish I didn't think this way, I still hope there's someone out there who 'gets me', if not true love itself.

29. I'm related to a bunch of interesting and sordid characters a good deal of you may know.

30. A real sadistic, violent part of me kinda misses getting into fistfights. This was way before I ever heard of Fight Club, btw...

31. I rarely share my fantasies/fetishes/desires because even I find them weird (although they're likely vanilla).

32. Traditional, classic lines over contemporary any day of the week.

33. This is the ever-growing mixtape of my life.

34. To me, porn is equally humorous and depressing.

35. I may love ink and some metal on the ladies, but I don't see myself getting either one anytime soon.

36. It's either tall or petite women for me. Sorry, those of you stuck in the middle.

37. I still have my hand-made Halloween costumes from my childhood.

38. Breakfast For Dinner is a family tradition I still love to practice, even on my own.

39. To live around the Mediterranean for a while is a goal.

40. I'd like a Viking funeral.





You must be racist.

"Rex! Why would you ever think that?! I have a Black friend, see? SEE?!"
I don't care, Random Person Who Reads My Blog! You have to be if you haven't given this fro-licious caramel wonder* a look see!


All you have to do is click on her hair...

Sure, Lorelei doesn't really need the scratch nor the dap, but believe me, it's hard out there for a Black German like Colada. wink Hell, if Hitler was alive today, his head would surely explode from seeing the both of us 'mixed breeds'.




...wh-wh-whaaaa? surreal







* the Fro-licious Caramel Wonder (aka Colada) has no way inticed me with bribes nor any other form of incentive. Although she should.

hahhahahah... that's an awesome idea Sir, but I think it may be a little late to shoot that concept sadly, seeing as the waiting period in MR and all takes a little while, the set would likely only be seen AFTER the World Cup.
