The Friendly Squirrel

At one point during Vincent's Washington, D.C., vacation, we ran into a friendly one-eyed squirrel. He was pretty bad ass. He was kind of gray and obviously weathered, but squirrels are a rare sight in EP, so seeing this little guy come up to us was bitchin'. I wanted to keep him!




Hello, Vincent!


Goodbye, Vincent.



I tried to take a picture with him too, but he ran to the other side of the tree. Sad times. So here's me and a tree.





I wish I wasn't so whiny! I will keep my mouth shut next video.

Second to Moscow

Wheaton! At 588 feet, the Wheaton Station escalator on D.C.'s red line is the longest in the Western Hemisphere.








I also found this video on youtube. Jonna and I tried to make one of our own, but we failed. This one I thought was pretty good. There are some real dramatic ones out there. Woodley is pretty hardcore too, Wheaton is even more so! Enjoy.

Equus

At Laurel Park...

Marelynnisms: No Pants

This might make no sense to anyone, but Marelynn and I have some of the most ridiculous Gmail chat conversations ever. I shall begin my chronicling.



Mj: He has socks but no pants?
amazing!
The fact that he has a blog is so odd to me
I have no pants
but i have a blog.

UTEP

In other news, my green UTEP sweatshirt caused quite a commotion on Columbia Street today. I’m exaggerating, but three people pointed it out, and I even had a conversation with someone about UTEP playing in the big dance.
It’s silly, but it makes me really proud to be from EP. El Paso is badass. We are badass. Sure, it has its problems, but there’s no other place I’d rather be from. Not even San Fran.

The end of an era

Sucio, Sucia, Chachito, Grisel, iPA


This is probably my favorite picture of all time. It is perfection. This picture, these people, made me who I am now. I'll never stop being nostalgic about what thus far I consider to be the happiest time in my life. I remember staying up all night talking about Comandate Marcos, and Grisel possibly running away with his caravana; Dark rooms, white rabbit, sitting indian style in a circle, apple sour vodka--my life better than I had ever imagined. Other than Drew (perfection all on his own), who is missing from the picture, there's no other three people that I have shared more with in my adult life (post 22-years). Perfection... perfection.

Sophia

I am convinced Sophia Loren seduced the entire world because of her breasts. At least that's what the biography I'm reading about her suggests. Her features somewhat bird-like to me, but I can't help but like her either way. One so be so lucky as to have those boobs at 70.
