I love Ed Hardy!
June 23rd, 2010
When Ed Hardy jumps the shark, the shark will be wearing a sweet Ed Hardy screen print t-shirt and drinking some Hypnotiq out of an Ed Hardy tumbler. Which I’ve actually seen.

Fact: Patton Oswalt is not funny, but Daniel Tosh is hysterical.
Irony: Abraham Lincoln started the Secret Service.
Observation: The only way I could care less about the NBA would be to not know it even exists.
Fact: A common misconception is that a teardrop tattoo means you’ve killed someone. What it really means is that you’re a dumbshit. Or unemployed. Or both.
Observation: Febreze is quickly becoming the cranberry of cleaning products: it’s in everything now.
The photo today is of an old Korean woman at the top of the Seoul tower looking longingly in the direction of Chicago.
“No, I didn’t say she’s a lesbian. I said she’s bilingual.”

I wish I knew where to attribute this, but I heard it from someone recently , I think in Chicago, when Eva and I went there for Memorial Day… I’ve heard that people that speak three languages are trilingual, people that speak two languages are bilingual and people that speak one language are American. I always thought this was a fairly solid illustration of our culture of superiority. It’s always embarrassing to travel to Europe and default speak English when almost everyone there speaks their own language, English and generally a couple other languages as well. It makes us seem like uncultured dregs. What we fail to realize as we default accept the fact that we are culturally inferior to the Europeans is that when you live in Europe, if you drive two hours in any direction you have to speak a different language. If you live in France and travel anywhere outside of the country, you will need to speak English because it’s the great equalizer. In America on the other hand, you can basically travel 12+ hours in any direction regardless of where you live and everyone will still speak English. Couple that with the fact that English is the international language of business and the fact that the US dollar is currently the global standard for currency, and it seems more and more like we should only speak English. Plus we’re better than everyone else in the world. So there’s that too.
The photo today is one which I took out a plane window. Hover your mouse over the photo and you’ll see what I called it to trick creepy Googlers. Next time I’ll let you know how many of said creepy Googlers happened upon my website via that particular search phrase. So look forward to that!
She’s got jokes.

Talking about our soon to arrive puppy:
Rick – “I really don’t care what color he is… black, brown… doesn’t matter to me, as long as he’s healthy. Kind of like a baby.”
Eva – “What if I had a brown baby but it was healthy?”
Such a comedian. Excuse me. Comedienne.
The picture today is of the Washington Monument and the front of the mess hall at West Point.

Obama said BP should pay its employees for not working. He would say that. He infuriates me beyond words. I’m glad the oil spill happened on his watch. He’s the worst.
On a lighter note, a 15 year old Mexican boy was shot and killed here on the El Paso-Mexican border a few days ago. He and others had surrounded a border patrol agent that was responding to a human trafficking report and were throwing fist sized rocks at him. So, he shot one of them and the rock throwing pretty much subsided. Imagine that. Of course people are bitching. These same people are, however, generally uneducated, unemployed, don’t pay taxes and are therefore just as inconsequential as the dead rock hurler. Fitting.
The shot today is of the Pittsburgh skyline from right near Heinz Field.
Korea has trains figured out.

Yesterday on the 10 o’clock news, my favorite local reporter, the distinguished and ambiguously gay Kai Porter, highlighted a GED graduation ceremony here in El Paso. El Paso never ceases to amaze me.
The shot today is from the side of the tracks at the Bosan Train Station outside of Camp Casey in Korea.
Extreme!

I caught this extremely extreme action shot while snapping pictures in Korea at our unit’s “Organization Day.” The people that put an “Organization Day” on call them “Morale Building” and “Fun.” Those of us forced to attend these events prefer to call them ”Gay” and “Beat.”
Through the wire.

Speaking of Kanye West… do you think he’ll stand up at the Grammys and declare that President Obama doesn’t care about white shrimp fishermen? Doubt it.
The shot this fabulous day is of train tracks through a fence on a bridge in Seoul.
