    Found a decent Thai restaurant in Dallas/Plano area yet? If not, I might recommend the Bannana Leaf which is just north of 365 on Preston. They have some really good Pad Thia, though the rest of their food leaves a little to be desired...

    LOL. I am the proverbial white boy. Blonde hair, blue eyes, and skin that could blind you if the sun reflected off of it the right way. I love being in a place where it is predominately hispanic or spanish speaking because no one would ever suspect that I know spanish. They start talking all kinds of crap about me or someone with me. Granted, I am not fluent and my spanish is quite broken, but I can pick up what is being said quite easily and speak enough so that they understand what it is that I am saying. So I turn to them and casually say "Mira, soy huero, perro me intiendo espanol muy bien, gracias. Hay problema?"

    They tend to stay very quite after that... I have never had them appologize though, usually just dirty looks.

    Newman..lol that is too funny...I laugh a little and cry a little on the inside when it happens to me. I am probably the whitest looking Puerto Rican Spaniard you will ever see...I have Green Eyes and Brown/dirty blond hair turning gray on me..and do not look at all like a typical hispanic! The only people who sometimes guess my ethnicity correctly are fellow Ricans and people who are savy enough to know the origins of my last name, though many think I am Italian based on the last name too.

    lol those guys are hillarious. Thanks Demian. I needed that.

    As far as SXMInvestor: That is a bit far fetched... the backwards recordings don't even sound like whatthey are trying to tell you it does, and there is no proof that that is how it litterally sounds when played backwards anyways.

    Now that David Blaine stuff... that is some real shit!

    I'm selling all of my SIRI next week so I can marry this Russian gymnast girl I met online. She is very flexible and I think we will be very happy together. Here is a video of her doing her gymnastics...
