A commercial for Hawaii 5 0 just reminded me of a funny story that made me smile:
I was stationed on Oahu for a time. Upon arriving, my first stop was a McDonald's just outside the base. I ordered, ate, then looked around for the trash cans. They didn't say, "Trash". They said, "Mohalo." I thought, "Hmm, that must be Hawaiian for "trash". Interesting. Well, I got a cab to take me to the base and when I paid him, I wondered if I should tip, so threw the guy a 5 dollar bill. He says, "Mohalo." I was like, "Hold on there, bud. What did you just call me?" (I was a little hot-headed back then). He said, "I said, Mohalo, it means, "Thank You."

AHAHAH. I had to pick up some papers from my bosses assistant at her home. So I put something workworthy on and drive my bumbling, hungover ass downtown to the third ward. I think I almost got carjacked by a homeless dude in the process. FLIGHT RESPONSE ENGAGED. I tactical swerve through a redlight and check the address again. What the fuck, I'm thinking, as I pass the star of hope. No way this stuck up assistant lives in the ghetto. His assistant is a very attractive young black woman who is always impeccably dressed in tailored suits and shit. I've even caught her staring down her nose at me a few times when I drag my ass in on a beach weekend. So am I looking for some gentrified townhome with fortress walls then? No. I get there and it's a tiny shotgun house across from a meth lab WITH METH LAB SENTRIES. I'm like....okay....I didn't know it was that kind of pickup. Knock on door, scary sounding dog bark comes from inside. Fuck. Right address? Yes. Great. So she lets me in and I'm sniffmugged by the most adorable blue? pitbull ever. I don't know what purebred pitbulls look like but this miniature tank of a dog might be it. Then I realize I'm surrounded by ghetto fabulous. Pink furry things, bling and zebra stripes everywhere. Overwhelmed by some sort of reverse psychology snob-guilt reaction, I succumbed to her hospitality, niceness and coffee. Mmmm, ghetto coffee. Defeated by endboss Nice Assistant. Thusly Friday comes to an end.
Just spent 5 minutes watching the Marriott employees playing with a dunk tank in the alley between our buildings.

Garage bands are the best. I wish I lived in a place where going to see a garage band didn't mean sweating balls and hot beer. Otherwise I would be so down for those clowns.

^That's gonna be my new hood, yo! It was roughly 65 and partly cloudy so I was comfortable in jeans and a tank top. There was Blue Moon in the keg, which being PNW beer snobs we all complained about (ewww, a wheat beer, srsly?) so instead, I opted for the pomegranate sangria. The music was great actually, but I will admit to you that I was super pleased that the lead singer's mic was on the fritz. :)Quote:

While I was away, the car spent it's time in the shop for a complete engine rebuild having finally thrown a rod on me a few months prior.
This car has deep family history. My dad got it from a guy that couldn't pay his rent (that my dad owned) and got it at a steal. My half brother than got it for his first car and wrecked it. It was fixed up, and my mom drove it and wrecked it. It was fixed again, and then my sister drove it and wrecked it twice. I inherited this as my second car. I babied it, restored it, had a lot of fond memories, but never an accident.
So the first night I get back from Tech, I drive this clean sexy beast to my buddy's house. We were going out to get wasted, and I thought to myself "you know this thing is too nice and I don't want to take chances, so I'll ride with him and park it here". I came back to his house that night to see a police car and ambulance in front of his house. The officer explained a 16 year old girl managed to smash into the front of it hard while it was parked. Her insurance totaled the car, I bought it back, stuck the car in one of my dad's properties, and pocketed the change.
That was a relic of my teen years that was destroyed on that awful night. This Friday, I'm taking it into a shop for a full ridiculously extensive restoration. Brings back a lot of fond memories and now at 30, I will once again to experience driving it.
Yeah... about that car...Quote:

That's a lot of smiles. I realize I'm the minority in this but I really hate vegas. I was there this summer for like 2 days and it sucked so much. Hotter than Houston. I soaked all my best skanky dresses in sweat.
I smiled today because of the Chinese moon festival! Saw some kung fu kids jump around. Ate moon cake. Then when I was driving home I saw a convoy of little old men in awesome classic cars. Perfect day even with the rain.

I saw Depeche Mode this weekend and had a great time. My son won his baseball game individually contributing with 2 for 2 at bat (one walk and one double with 1 RBI), a run, and an out fielding via fly ball catch. The Cowboys won. Breaking Bad was awesome. Family dinner last night was great. This morning lacked the awful traffic to work and things are going to smooth.

Stopped at Walmart to return something, and decided to just grab the other stuff I needed there instead of stopping at the grocery store on my way home. On my way down one aisle, I passed the baking stuff. I saw a bag of ANDES MINT baking chips. Yes. A whole bag of little bits of Andes mints.
I will definitely be baking cookies on Sunday for close next week. It's been a few months since I baked them, and bitches can bitch all they want. Yeah, go ahead and give me an eat-shit-and-die look as you shove your hand in those gallon ziploc bags full of delicious mana from heaven. I DON'T CARE.

It's a professional shot and pretty excellent for it's photojournalistic skill and regional rarity. lol Tisket lashing out in every thread. Totes adorbs. I really had a GRAAAND time in Sweden.
I got to meet a handful of my operations people today. It was very neat finally putting faces to all the voices and emails and stuff. I also found out I'll be meeting MORE of them in November. I cannot wait! And beer. Beer good.
Yeah, that's why you were smiling. Sure.Quote:

You really seem hung up on how little the internet matters and yet you foam at the mouth over slights more than anyone else here. It's entertaining.Quote:

I think that's awesome (my two moms quarrel aside)Quote:

It's one of my forbidden fruit.
He gave her exactly what she needed. She hit him, grabbed his throat and spit on him. AFTER she got hit, she was interviewed and has a entirely different outlook on life. He helped her...and the worldQuote:

I smiled so much this morning my face hurts. My dog is so ridiculous. She's such an antisocial nerdy dog but she really wants to meet other dogs. This morning in the dog park it was Chihuahua day or something but she hasn't seen them before so things were weird. She was crab hopping sideways with her head down, which I've only ever seen kittens do. She's widened out a bit in the chest, I can definitely see the pit in her mutt. So I had this mini muscle dog crab hopping at the crazy barky rat dogs and I was laughing so hard I forgot to reinforce her positive social behavior, if you could call it that. It was pretty great.

Because who doesn't love a good fart story.
Mountain Villages exist pretty much anywhere there is mountains. Afghanistan has some really sweet ones too, though they are obviously not Kurds.Quote:

If you've had a different experience I'd really like to hear about it.
Yes, and they exist all over the place, especially in the third world where they still live in the same mindset as they did 1000 years ago. If the US was a 3rd world country in the same conditions, we'd have them here too(There is one that exists in Colorado, I think it is, that is now a national park built by some Natives). It isn't something specific to Kurds. I don't remember the name of the tribe in Afghan that does it. Actually, I only remember like three of them. Mostly the Kuchi because their name makes me giggle and they are nomads.Quote:

And even more Kuchi!

I seem to have taken a lot of pictures of Kuchi.
Pashto nomads! I'm not even going to pretend I miss hearing (and trying to understand) their jabbawocky.
I think you're right about that style of mountain top villages. I mentioned before that balagan reminded me of the houses on top of Tiger Leaping Gorge. It's awesome when isolation from government can lead to such an insulated cultural rift. I'd say only 30 years of isolation has built some of the TLG communities who are trying to escape the rapid industrialization of China and the river. tldr: The world is getting smaller.
We never even talked to them. I think it was a mistake, but they were only in our area for a short time. I remember when they packed up to leave and had all their camels loaded down, there was one man on a horse in flowing black robes with a sword on his hip that glinted so brightly in the sun. It made me wonder about the history of that sword. Of course, it could be something new, but I'd like to think it was passed down over the centuries to the elder.
