I love my latin women

Spanish is a cool language, but it would really be quite difficult to be a Spanish speaker and also under go a sex change. If you speak English there would be no changes in your grammer what so every. Well, actually you might talk in a feminine voice or something like that but that doesn't matter so much. But my point is that there are no grammatical changes that you need to be constantly aware of.
If you speak Spanish, you have to be aware of all the adjectives and their feminine or masculine components. So instead of saying "I'm cold," which is "estoy frio" as a man, you would say "estoy fria" as a woman. This seems like a subtlety that would be so easy to miss and mess up. It's one thing to change your name from Chris to Crystal or Mark to Martha, but changing all your personal adjectives would be a pain in the ass. I'd really like to talk to a Spanish speaking pre or post op and get their opinion on their feminine/masculine grammar change enigma.
Maybe next time you talk to a woman in Spanish and she says "no estoy casado" (I'm not married) beware, cause it could very well be a post-op guy hitting on you.

Ranch Dressing, Yum!

I was tutoring at the 7th Street Learning center today and the snack was carrots accompanied by a little paper cup of ranch dressing. The two kids sitting at my table, Travon and Jabo (Jay-Bo) really enjoyed their carrots. When they both ran out of carrots, they still had some ranch coating the bottoms of their cups. To fix this, they ripped apart the cups and licked clean the inside. Apparently, they enjoyed the ranch dressing more than they did the carrots.

Welfare

I like this philosophy because it is applicable on so many different levels, even when omitting the part about prayer. It could apply to living in Tacoma, America, or the world.

"Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare." Jeremiah 29:7

Rollin' on dubbs

Well we're auctually rollin' on flat screen TVs. That's 50 inch plasma flat screen TVs. Get a load of the how we pimped our house.

I just watched the fight scene from the second Lord of the Rings and Sin City, and both of them were amazing.

Next on the list are gold teeth for the entire house and chrome rims for all of our cars (except for kyle who gets them for his bike).
