If I’m To Start A Life Of Crime…

I’m bringing this dude with me.  THE Ultimate Object of my Delusion, my Old Love, Kuroro Lucifer…

Which Genei Ryodan Member Is Your Ally?
Hosted By theOtaku.com: Anime

He is handsome, intelligent, cultured and charismatic.  He is also deceitful and manipulative who likes books and drinking coffee.  There’s nothing quite as sexy as a cultured, stylish badass.  Did I mention he can run on walls? That he teleports? Very useful during the rush hours.

From the back of his usual “Battle Gear”

There also much to be said about grace under pressure:

“The situation I am in now is just like taking an afternoon coffee break in a cafe.  Nothing has changed.”  (Spoken while Kurapika is torturing him)

Robot Love

Because it’s more fun to draw robots than do  actual work…

Remembering the Lizard King…

I Was Just Wondering…

How come no one ever leaves a comment?  Except for maybe, 5 people.

What gives?  I’m very friendly. (T_T)

Sad, Ain’t it?

Pretty much the line of the times… *sigh*

What Irks The Most…

Is making a mechanical layout plan when I could be…

Painting

or

Sketching

or

Writing.

My writings won’t be winning any Pulitzers any time soon but it sure beats  what I am doing now.  “General Specifications” is  hated at the moment.

And in honor of this shiteous day…

Fish On A Bicycle

“A WOMAN WITHOUT A MAN IS LIKE A FISH WITHOUT A BICYCLE.”

I love you, Miss Vida Boheme!

As my facebook friend had said, Patrick Swayze is well and truly a ghost now.

There goes another piece of my childhood…

Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side
after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months.

Patrick died at 57, a result of a long bout against pancreatic cancer. He will be missed, of course, but we could all thank Baby Jesus for the DVDs. We can have a Swayze Day and spend it watching Point Break, Ghost, Dirty Dancing and To Wong Foo… with a bowl of popcorn and gallons of Coke. Because, you know, that’s how we roll.

Bodhi, Johnny Castle and Sam Wheat may be his most famous characters but to me, he would always be the Glamorously Bitchin’ Diva, Vida Boheme.

Check this out! Is this kickin’ or what?

“Well pumpkins, it comes down to that age-old decision: style… or… substance?”

I won’t forget you, Patrick.

Especially everytime I see my picture from 17 yrs. ago. I got the friggin “Molly” haircut from Ghost. Courtesy of meddling Mama Bear. How can one forget?!

Have a good one, dude. Heaven should prepare for a Dirty Dancing Night.

The Poorest Looking Rich Guy In Hollywood

Keanu doing some shopping… razor and shaving cream not included. Probably because he’s projecting Jerry Garcia.

Keanu’s at it again…

And he decided to complete his “Homeless Dude ” ensemble by throwing in a cart full of grocery bags. Good thing they were arranged in an orderly fashion or someone would’ve mistaken him for another hobo and tossed him some coins.

Except that this one had enough money to last him a couple of lifetimes.

Crazy dude’s got the last laugh. He probably hadn’t seen a coin for several years now. Dude must be lying on sacks of money and wipes his ass with hundred dollar bills.

But is just too lazy to go to a salon and/or take a shower. Apparently, it is overrated. He’s grunge that way.

FOOTNOTE:

Let me remind you again…

You look great when you clean up, Mr. Reeves. Just sayin’.

Oh My Darling, Calvin Klein!

I just would like to spare a moment to thank Calvin Klein for sharing with me (and to the world) these gorgeous specimens of manhood…

Travis Fimmel	Damien Van Zyl
Fred Ljungberg (…And let’s not forget that he’s a midfielder for Arsenal)	Scott Barnhill (I’m not sure if this is for Calvin Klein, but he did model for CK)
Vincent Kartheiser (Too bad, it’s only jeans…)	Butch Walker

What’s Wrong With This Picture?

Hot guys who wears diamond bracelets and arm in arm with a skank.

Who am I to pass a judgment, you ask.

Dude, seriously.

Your hair is pretty flat, btw. Too much ironing.

Ah, Marcus. You’re breaking my heart. But damn… you look really, really good naked.

Calvin Klein ads… those were the days…

Literary Geek (?!)

“You have received this meme because someone thinks you are a literary geek. Copy the questions into your own blog, answer the questions, and tag any friends who would appreciate the quiz, including the person who sent you this.”

1) What author do you own the most books by?
* I’m not sure. It’ll either be Anne Rice or Larry McMurtry or Stephen King or Mark Twain… or Jennifer Crusie. D.H. Lawrence as well. I’m obssessive that way.

2) What book do you own the most copies of?
* JANE EYRE. For some reason.

3) Did it bother you that both those questions ended with prepositions?
* Who cares?

4) What fictional character are you secretly in love with?
* RUPERT BIRKIN - A sarcastic, alienated intellectual who wrestles in the nude in front of a fireplace with another man. Very forward. Also, could be gay.

* NATHANIEL POE - He was played by Daniel Day-Lewis in the movie. It’s sort of automatic.

* WOODROW CALL - The strong, silent type who hates to talk but is prone to breaking your skull if irritated.

*HEATHCLIFF - The man with no last name. The prototype for the men in my life: Silent, Brooding and an asshole. Lola is to blame.

Monumental cads are hot.

4a) What fictional character would you most like to be?
* BRIGID O’SHAUGHNESSY: Hot,manipulative, murdering bitch with great breasts and long legs. Also smart, but apparently, not so much. (See ending of Maltese Falcon)

4b) What fictional character do you think most resembles you?
* BRIDGET JONES: A fat-assed, single, delusional chick who smokes like a dragon and tends to ignore nice guys so she could gallivant with assholes. Also, meddling mother and too relaxed father.

Wait… are we still talking about Bridget?

5) What book have you read the most times in your life?
* ELVIS, JESUS AND COCA-COLA … Kinky’s great to lift up your spirits on a gloomy day

6) What was your favorite book when you were ten years old?
* JUGHEAD JONES, WHERE ARE YOU? <=== I loved Jughead…I don’t care if it’s comics.

7) What is the worst book you’ve read in the past year?
* I’ve read so much trash that it’s too difficult to choose just one.

8 ) What is the best book you’ve read in the past year?
* THE BRIEF AND WONDROUS LIFE OF OSCAR WAO <=== fat, geeky and lives in a fantasy world. Very familiar.

9) If you could force everyone you tagged to read one book, what would it be?
* ZEN AND THE ART OF MOTORCYCLE MAINTENANCE — An inquiry into values…and do we even have one?

10) Who deserves to win the next Nobel Prize for literature?
* NOT Stephanie Meyer.

11) What book would you most like to see made into a movie?
* THE CLAIMING OF SLEEPING BEAUTY … I’m looking at you Tinto Brass. This shit would totally rule! Disney execs would combust simultaneosly.

12) What book would you least like to see made into a movie?
* Never thought about it… probably anything from Harlequin.

13) Describe your weirdest dream involving a writer, book, or literary character.
* VAMPIRE LESTAT as a balut vendor, moonlighting as a snatcher. Seriously. And we’re married.

14) What is the most lowbrow book you’ve read as an adult?
* The mostest? well, hell. I’ve read a lot of lowbrows. I’m a lowbrow person myself.

15) What is the most difficult book you’ve ever read?
* IVANHOE…in old english (a gift from lola. But felt more like a punishment.)

*WAR AND PEACE — the names are hard to remember but it was a great book. Worth the effort.

16) What is the most obscure Shakespeare play you’ve seen?
* No plays for me. I’d rather eat shrimp and go to an emergency room than watch a play.

17) Do you prefer the French or the Russians?
The Russians. They produced Tolstoy, Rasputin and Fedor Emelianenko (^_^)

18) Roth or Updike?
Roth. Erotic in a nutso sort of way.

19) David Sedaris or Dave Eggers?
Sedaris all the way: “Shit is the tofu of cursing.”

20) Shakespeare, Milton, or Chaucer?
Chaucer! He predates the two.

21) Austen or Eliot?
Eliot is a dead bore, so it’s Austen. Though I hated EMMA.

22) What is the biggest or most embarrassing gap in your reading?
I loved the Howard Stern books and NO, I am NOT embarrassed by it.

23) What is your favorite novel?
THE LITTLE PRINCE. Period.

24) Play?
Tennessee William’s A Streetcar Named Desire. I haven’t watched it though. I’d rather read than watch it.

25) Poem?
“Phenomenal Woman” by Maya Angelou

26) Essay?

* “Why The Future Doesn’t Need Us” by Bill Joy. Scary and yet, too true. Robotics, genetic engineering, and nanotech - are threatening to make humans an endangered species.

27) Short story?
* “Grace” by Marcel Ayme. Wonderfully written, quirky and sad all at the same time. Goosebumps galore.

28) Work of non-fiction?
* LIZARD KING –A Jim Morrison bio

29) Who is your favorite writer?
Great question but too difficult to answer.

30) Who is the most overrated writer alive today?
* Stephanie Meyer. And what’s up with the lion falling in love with a lamb anyway? I fell in love with a lamb once and all that got me was getting banned at the zoo.

31) What is your desert island book?
* Shucks… can I bring five? One of them would definitely be a Jennifer Crusie book and a Woody Allen. One should be able to laugh while one is stuck in the middle of nowhere with the possibility of death most unbecoming.

Although to be honest, I’d much rather have water.

32) And … what are you reading right now?
Right now? Right this very minute?

Construction Estimate. Goddamnit!

Bad Boy Delusions and The Pursuit of Mr. Right

The boys I mean are not refined

They go with girls who buck and bite…

They speak whatever’s on their mind

They do whatever’s in their pants

The boys I mean are not refined

They shake the mountain when they dance…

-e.e. cummings

A girl might grow roots and develop mold while waiting for Mr. Right to come along, but wouldn’t it be more exciting to go gallivanting on the wild side with Mr. Wrong?  Myself, I’ve thought about this during the dull moments of my life.  These events mostly occur while sipping coffee alone at McDonald’s or waiting for my Chinese takeouts.  Boredom usually does this to you.  That, or watching giggling couples (yes, even the guy giggles!) hold hands and walk to the sunset in a perfectly synchronized ensemble of safe earth colors, being disgustingly matched and well-groomed.  Yup, they look good together.

They also look boring.

Whatever happened to the “opposites attract?”  North and South?  Light and dark?  The Yin and the Yang?  Whatever happened to the balance? Whatever happened to the mystery?  I’d see a hot guy with a mousy girl and I’d definitely ask, “Whatever does he see in her?”  “Is it her intelligence?”  “Does she resemble Venus, or at least Alessandra Ambrosio, when she’s naked? What?” And a whole lot of different questions would follow to boggle the mind. They might look odd but they would be more interesting. But when I see two beautiful people together, I’ll just nod wisely and say, “It makes sense”.  That’s it.  End of story.

And of course, back to the real subject at hand:  The pursuit of Mr. Right.Who exactly is Mr. Right, I ask.

And how do I know he’s “right”?

What if Mr. Right is all wrong?

What does being Mr. Right mean?  What makes him right?

Is he right because he already has a house, a car and a steady well-paying job?

Is he right because he’s loyal and kind?  A lot of people can be loyal and kind.  Hell, my dog is loyal and kind and does not talk back.

Or is it because my Mama likes him a lot and she could already picture me tending his garden when she comes around for a customary Sunday get-together in an angst-free pastel-colored suburban environment?

Kill me now.  Please.  Besides, I couldn’t even make a single mongo seed live, much less grow a garden.

On the other hand, there’s Mr. Wrong.

She Who’ll Snatch The Cradle…

Would be me.

Well, me and Piwi. I have to have a girlfriend in prison. We first saw Jacquou Le Croquant together last October (gawd. that was a long time ago) while hanging out at home.

As evidenced by the our obsession.

Introducing: The Divine Leo Legrand.

Anyway, here’s more of the Pocket Hottie.

This little infant is sculpted almost perfectly. Legrand indeed.

Smiling Innocently…No idea that somewhere in the Philippines…

He’s a child molestation waiting to happen. (hehehehe….)

Being a boy. So adorable.

FOOTNOTE: May or may not post a review of Jacquou Le Croquant soon.
