La Dolce Convo

Jorge and Dave Have Another Conversation

Here’s a little gem, fresh off the presses.

Once in a while (read: a lot, probably) I will vent frustrations about stuff to Dave, who sits there, listens, and provides feedback if necessary. It’s one of the things that makes him such an awesome friend.

Of course, there are also times when he inadvertently comes up with something pants-peeingly funny, thus diffusing my negativity and making my day way better than it started off…


Jorge: Hey mano, thanks for letting me vent.
Dave: No problem.
J: One of these days you have to vent to me.
D:
Meh.
J: But you never have to vent, do ya?
D:
Yah.
J: You’re living La Dolce Vita
D: That’s right. Inside upside down or whatever.
J: [Pause] That’s La Vida Loca, man.

Hai-Kuul – March 01, 2006

Subservient Me (Requested by Tanya)
I exist to serve
Is there something I can do?
Your wish? My command

Devyl Blue

The Devyl You Know…

My article about chivalry the other day had me thinking about equality issues this weekend.

I ended up coming across some equality literature written by women (read: womyn*).

Think about this…

A lot of these groups will insist that God is a woman, and yet there is no mention that the devil is anything other than male.

Why is this?



Black and Blue. But Mostly Black.

I spent most of yesterday watching some friends of mine grade for their black belt.

I have to say that I was nothing short of proud and impressed. They all did an excellent job, and I’m looking forward to seeing them get their certificates for the levels they have achieved.

It makes me very proud to train with these people. They are an excellent example of martial artists.

Way to go, guys!




* – I will never ever understand this.

Chivalry

Chivalry Is Not Dead. It Never Existed

Today, an older gentleman (and I use that term loosely) gave me pause to think about why men hold doors for women.

Is it to be polite? A gesture of respect?

No.

It’s so that a man can stare at a woman’s caboose without being obvious to her.

This morning on the subway, an attractive young woman and an old man were both standing at the door. When the subway came to a halt, the doors opened, and the man gestured for her to go first…


Old Man: After you, young lady.
Young Lady: Wow. Thank you!


She strolled happily through the door.

As she did so, the old man literally stared at her butt. He leaned down and looked at it.

I shook my head.

Hai-Kuul – February 22, 2006

This one needed two interpretations…


My Kingdom For a Package (Requested by jules)
I bide my sweet time
Doing a great job until
They say it’s my time


My Kingdom For a Package (Requested by jules)
My body feels wrong
I am a woman and yet
I need to be male
