Filed under: Vacation summer '06
In case you'd like to know where I'll be in the next month I'll just tell you now while I'm in the middle of packing. I'm flying tonight to Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic making a point to buy cheap quality crystal and drinking the 12% alcohol content Czech beer. I'll be there for two nights and then bike, that is cycle, to Vienna, Austria with this company. The day by day intineray for that part of the trip is here. Staying in Vienna for two nights, making a point to eat the famous chocolate cake and visit the concert hall for a performance of Mozart's requiem, and then driving to Venice, Italy on July 19th making a point to take lots of romantic pictures. Staying there for a night and then driving to Milan, Italy making a point to eat lots of amazing Italian food while I stay there until the 23rd of June. Then I fly to Mexico City with a brief connection in London. Staying there for a while and making a point to visit the anthropology museum and the ruins. Then riding a bus to San Miguel de Allende to stay a few days and probably making a point to read in the library and visit the art galleries. Finally, I return to San Antonio for my family reunion which is on the 9th of July. Then back to LA to find a job and save up money to fly to Vermont before my school semester starts on the 28th of August, hopefully making a point to listen to amazing concert music played by the best musicians in the world and oh, yeah… see my girlfriend! Fuck! It's quite a trip so I hope I don't die.
So I'll be posting updates on what I've been doing and pictures I've taken as often as I can to this blog. I even created a catagory for it. My flight leaves at 8pm(PT). Peace.
A few days ago, a woman was praying inside her house during a thunderstorm asking God to allow her family a safe return home. God, tired of this woman's constant begging and nagging, decided to try and shut her up by striking her with lightning as soon as she said, "Amen". This didn't work however, as she is quoted as saying, "I'm blessed to be alive". She obviously didn't get the message.
And then yesturday, a man climbed into a lion cage at the zoo claiming that God would protect him. Apperently, he forgot that God does not like to be tested because then the man was mauled to death.
Wait, that sounds familiar. Thanks to boingboing for bringing this up because 2 years ago another man did something similar only way more kooky. In Taiwan, a man jumps into a lion cage to CONVERT THE LIONS TO CHRISTIANITY. Yes, shouting, "Jesus will save you", is unfortunatly not enough to convert lions to praising the lord for dying for our sins nor is it enough for African lions to learn the Chinese language. Then, the lions bit his leg. Thank God the lions had already been fed that day. Good try though.

How Will a Gay Icon Fly at the Box Office?
Superman appeals to gays. Should that be a selling point? Or could it be kryptonite?

STUDIOS love magazine stories that breathlessly hype their summer popcorn movies, so you would think that Warner Bros. might have been happy with Alonso Duralde's cover story about "Superman Returns," which gushed, "Superheroes — let's face it — are totally hot."
