^Them be fighting words yankee... cowboy.gif

They (Southerners, SW, and other regional people) can be so much different than we ' Yankees' are. I was born in Texas btw, and relocated when I was 3 years old.

Texans are very interesting. They're very right wing, anti-government, super christian. Ultra- Materialistic values- the dream of many Texans is to own a ranch, a mansion, pool, trucks, and a house full of gadgets. They want their place on the hill. They are handy. They talk straight. Ethically rigid. They kind of 'accept' their lot in life- it's a form of paternalism- and believe in the 'American Dream'. As in, they will be anti-labor and work hard. Follow all the rules.

Many worship everything to do with the military. They have a great understanding of war and history. But they can be totally deficient in the liberal arts and style. Many of their women are unusually masculine in character.

Their enemy is super liberal California. California's enemy is Texas...

I spent some time talking to a Texan economist. An interesting fact is that the economics and econometric methods taught and used are extra 'right wing' as well. In the East coast, economics, particularly those of the ivy league variety, are more progressive and Keynesian.

He is a man?? whow!! quite a pretty woman, isn´t it? :D

Yes, that was my reaction.

I'm not altogether sure why, but once I knew he was a guy I could totally see it. Only in a "on closer inspection, I guess he has a slightly mannish face" kind of way, though - certainly not in a "oh my god that's obviously a guy!" way.

You see, I can't 'see it'. Even now when I look at those two pictures I find it hard to appreciate that the subject is a man. In many of the pictures in Andrej's thread of him doing female fashion shows, for example, it is quite obvious but not so much in those pictures. He's certainly not your average cross-dresser.

What really intrigued me was, with clients looking for ever taller and flatter chested models, is Andrej just the start of a trend towards men modelling as women?

I don't know if you're familiar with the smell with it being colder there in general or if the smell is relative in light of the fact that we have rainless 105-110 ect. summers, but there's just a smell of winter in the air that I cain't describe that's just oh so refreshing !

I decided to do something with apples

As for New York style pizza, it's a thin-crust pizza, if I'm not mistaken.

With my parents

An apple pie?

Oh, thin-crust Pizza... love it.

So I guess it is your mother who mostly cooks? When I lived with parents, I never cooked

^Actually it means (and how seasonal too) 'little donkey'! But in culinary terms it's a (warmed) flour tortilla with a filling - usually a combination of the various mexican ingredients (refried beans, cheese, sour cream etc...). New Mexico claims the 'breakfast burrito' which has green chile (always!), scrambled eggs, hash browns, cheese, and sometimes chorizo or sausage. And is brilliant!

resized_breakfast_burrito_frontier.jpg

donbot is probably better to ask about current aboriginal issues in Australia - but, yes, they are still there. I lived in Melbourne which doesn't have so many "native" Australians, I think the further north you go the more you see?

I will ask don

and that burrito looks damn fine especially now, because I´m hungry. I think I haven´t ask you, B, how do you spend the Christmas time?

Haha, Well about a week before going up the Volcano, i had met these three girls at the place i was staying at in Kuta.(Bali) Which btw is the craziest place on earth haha. Its like the party place for the Aussies. There are so many of them there I had originally planned to leave the next day to go to another Island but that night i spent with them changed everything. I was just having such a laugh with them that i decided to travel with them instead. I mean we weren't just laughing we were littraly on the floor barely breathing laughing It was like the first time i decided to change my plans for people. Usually I am pretty good with that but this time i made an exception. So after a week with them and we were also joined by to other girls we made our way to the volcano's. Yeah i was traveling with five girls!!! It was good fun but seriously by the end of our time together i could tell you everything about tampons, hair straighteners and George Clonney's penis Quite frankly i felt i had to leave them because any longer and i would have had my first period - Still it was the best time ever!

So anyways like i said after a week of crazy partying in Kuta. We made it to the town called Ubud, which is about a 40min drive away from the Volcano. We kinda felt we needed to do a bit of cultured stuff after all our partying So the next day we went up up it. We wanted to get there for sunrise, so we had to get up at like 2am!! The climb itself took us like hours. It was kinda crazy at times and the higher we got the steeper it got...and by the end we were kinda dragging ourselves up. Which was kinda hard for me because i was still recovering from a dislocated knee that i had done about 3 months before A whole other crazy story! Managed to do that in a cave on a cliff face - I mean it was back in place and I had been walking on it for a while but it wasn't very strong and the Doctors probably wouldn't have been too impressed. But i mean you get only one chance at doing these things..if that! So i wasn't going to just give up. Not to mention we all smoked, so when we got up we all treated ourselves to a cigarette Btw, anyone says its easy to stop smoking while you are traveling...everyone does it and its so cheap. Pretty much impossible to do it...and we were all smoking quite alot together

Anyways also along the way you could see holes in the ground where its thrown rocks out of the top and left a mark!! Its still active so that made it a little exciting to say the least haha. Nonetheless when we got to the top it was totally worth it. You could see the whole of Bali from up there...which is kinda crazy!!

Here are some pictures i took of the sunrise....and one that i pinched from the internet

The Animals where pretty cool, I once saw a crocodile in the middle of the road, which was pretty mad! Thankfully i was on a bus so I was safe haha...but still Being in the jungle was the most magical place i have ever been too...Its called taman negara and it was crazy to stay in a actual jungle with wild animals. And it was so freaking hot. haha Like 35-40 degreases easily! - That was pretty crazy! There is a story about a young women who got lost in the jungle on her own for 19 days!! without any food. To be in there for 19 days with all those Tigers, Elephants, Rhinos etc must have been crazy scary! Happened like a year ago and it made the news and everything.

In Thailand though i got to ride the elephants and bath them. That was pretty amazing! I decided to do some research into which place i should go too. Because i wanted to go to a place where they treated the animals well. I spent a little bit more money but i found a place that takes in mistreated elephants and rescue them. At least I knew my money was going to good use. Feeding them was pretty special too.

Scared? - I'm not sure about scared but there were times were i found myself in not so pleasant situations for sure. I travelled with quite a few girls. In fact always had girls around So naturally i get protective over them. But to be honest I felt safer out there then i ever do back at home...sounds crazy i know but thats the truth. Its because you are surrounded by other travelers all the time and we are always helping each other out. You trust them so quickly...its mad lol..Because you are doing the same thing and need the same help you kinda know that there aren't going to do anything bad and we all got each others back haha

The girls eh?! - Well put it this way....So glad i was single Everyone is fucking each other its crazy - Guess we are all so happy that we are more likely to do that or something i dunno. Not gonna lie to you. I got quite close to a few of them and saying goodbye is so hard! Thats like the weirdest thing about traveling. Because we all need each other out there. Meeting people out there is like the most intense thing ever. You become so open and so close in such a small space of time. Seriously there are people out there that know me better then anyone does back home...crazy thought but its true. Its like if they don't like you then you can go your separate ways. So therefore opening up becomes easier..makes sense? However saying goodbye then becomes very hard. Especially when its more then likely its forever. I never got use to it and always got emotional leaving them . But you have too

Anyways i'll Pm you that link for sure

btw I love Manu Chao - always had

Glad you like it! Its so cool....I only found out about him while i was out there

Oh my, so many stories. Amazing to read indeed and those pics are wonderful. Have you met many travelers like you? Or have you traveled with the local ones?

^Welcome back Nightlife - I've got an image of you now as the globetrotting Nathan Drake from the PS3's 'Uncharted' games.
Hi Jennka, hi everyone.

Not been on for a couple of weeks but I saw this on Yahoo.

anderjpejicmodelslingerie_105616.jpg

His name is Andrej Pejic and here is his BZ thread. He models both men's and women's clothing. Do we know of any other models that do this?

He is a man?? whow!! quite a pretty woman, isn´t it? :D

I'm not altogether sure why, but once I knew he was a guy I could totally see it. Only in a "on closer inspection, I guess he has a slightly mannish face" kind of way, though - certainly not in a "oh my god that's obviously a guy!" way.

Yeah, once you know it, you see it, but when I saw it for the first time I thought he was a woman

Amazing stories, Nightlife!!!

Exactly like this with the kebab - mostly on the streets or festivals. Here they often sell it in a ham-roll (ham?) with mustard or ketchup.

Goat milk is great, and very healthy. People with cancer are often told to drink goat milk - it seems to help in the procedure of healing.

Really? Whow, I´ve never seen homeless eating a McDonalds here. That would a weird picture indeed, lol.

What is New York pizza style like?

Goat milk helps with Cancer? And I thought eating spinach does !!! :-0

Homeless people like McDonald's and Wendy's. They usually don't sit down and eat there, though.

New York style pizza (like Layla said):

20101029pizzalab1.jpg

I'm sure that you've had it, right?

Yeah, I had it I love pizza.

Dunno about spinach, but might be, why not - look at Papa the Sailorman

Some time ago I was exchanging messages with one Texan... Andrew. He was very war-orientated and told me he could not find any work other than in military or medical area. Didn´t know Texas dislikes California and vice-versa

I know that smell pretty well and love it too... every season has its smell, they all taste differently. But wonderful here it´s already winter - today it snowed for the first time

Haha no, I ended up with no apples actually I prepared baked bananas and drinks with bananas

Can anyone go wrong with pizza though? I mean, you have thin-crust, deep-dish, so many options... it seems impossible to find somebody who wouldn't like any kind of pizza, you know? Same with chocolate. btw I'm eating chocolate with 'krówka' filling now. Ate 2/5 of in 10 minutes, gotta hide it, otherwise I'm gonna eat all of it...

Yes, it's usually my mum... although during the week when we don't have that much time for preparing food we usually buy half-products or ready-made things no fast food though!

Oh you meet soooooo many other travelers, its ridiculous! I mean i was traveling on my own but i was never alone if that makes sense. - Think the longest i was on my own in the 7 months was about two days. Trying to remember names is impossible A spent a few times with the locals of though. Which was always treat as you get to really experience their lifestyle

Of course if you wanted to have time to yourself you can

Same with chocolate. btw I'm eating chocolate with 'krówka' filling now. Ate 2/5 of in 10 minutes, gotta hide it, otherwise I'm gonna eat all of it...

Ha, that's a cute thought :=)

Where do you hide it? Is that effective?

I've been interested in nutrition and counting calories since I was 12 or so. I've pretty much realized that there's no hope in maintaining one's eating habits without blatant discipline. As in: I have not stocked my refrigerator with food other than : wheat mini-bagels (@ 110 kcal, 5 gram protein each), fruit, and chopped roasted chicken ( partitioned by yours truly and separated & stored into containers) in over 4 years. It is all store-bought.

this way, I never have to cook for myself and I never have to eat instant noodles (hate it!).

And I never buy pre-packaged food unless I'm outside and I crave a single-serving. Outdoors, I eat what I want for the most part. If people are coming over I stop by a supermarket first.

I just replaced chocolate with kiwi no but really, ate 1/5 of that chocolate in the evening so

I never count callories, I never really had to, to be honest... if I don't prepare food, I buy pork chops or pierogi or croquettes in delicatessen (? that's how some online dictionary translated the kind of shop I meant, don't know if it's correct.... I always thought delicatessen is more like a shop when you buy more expensive food, things not available in every shop etc.)
