Little Things


What’s up with people going out everywhere in revealing workout clothes? I don’t want to judge or make presumptions (but also, who am I to have an opinion that will change people’s minds), but track suites and workout clothing is only appropriate at home and at the gym. Lets get serious here. When I flew from L.A.X. to Mexico City, there was a lady dressed in skintight Adidas sports wear. Maybe it’s just me, but it has really irritated me to see society shift more towards sexual dressing in recent years. I constantly encounter people at the grocery store with just shorts and a sports bra on. They do it for the attention and they get it. Some days I find my own mentality a blessing, but others it’s a curse. So many things in mainstream society annoy me. I guess I’ll just put on my headphones and “keep on keeping on.”

I got a new nickname last week, Pedro el Pajaro. The story behind this is pretty funny (I think so). My uncle comes up to me and asks “what is PeterBird?” I have to explain to him that the company name is actually “Peterbilt” and a play off the word “built.” In Spanish, Peter is translated as Pedro, so hence, Pedro el Pajaro.

I got to watch the second half of the Spain vs Italy game and man did Italy get outplayed. Spain did exactly what they do best, which is pass, pass and pass some more. The reason why they play so well is because they use five midfielders and no forwards. Plus their right and left backs also play well up the wings, which is why Alba was able to score his goal. The 4-0 was well deserved.

So I’ve been watching a lot of ESPN Deportes and Discovery Channel en Espanol over the last few days because there is nothing else better on tv than my two favorite channels. I’d rather watch a novela than watch an Mtv reality show. Anyways, I was watching Dog Whisperer dubbed in Spanish and oh god is it hilariously horrible. My favorite parts are when the dub actors try to imitate the little voices that Cesar Milan does as well as the owners of the dogs. They even imitated the part where one of the owners began crying midway though his interview. It was so bad it was hard to not laugh. River Monsters is also pretty weird in Spanish. Discovery Channel needs to hire better dub actors, but then again if they change them, I won’t stick around to watch the bad dubbing.
