Up Eagle Rock, 27th of June

Wednesday, June 27, 2018






Shadow Hikers. Cousin and I at the start to the climb up Eagle Rock. 

Only the beginning and we've already both lost our right arms, seemingly. Oh no!!😭 I keep saying it's the ALUM ROCK NINJAS hiding in the trees and the brush waiting to cut our big butts down, grrrr!!

(Nah... he's holding on to a bag and I, the camera.😜)




Dirt Squirrel. This little dude hovered around looking at me thinking I had some fish & chips to give. So sorry, my furry amigo. All I got is some green tea, bud.

Grass Squirrel. Then dirt squirrel's primo stared me down thinking why I didn't give his homeboy any leftovers. Look at him: this one's 'bout ready to scrap, frickin' rodent gang banger!! Ese, they got plenty of munchies at Capitol Flea Market.

Fox on a Tagged Parking Block. This, errrr...um... totally REAL FOX was run over on the ground right at the space of this parking block. See the tire marks? Yup, it's on BOTH the REAL fox and the block. So I placed the little dude up top like a king on his throne, ugh!! His misfortune now made his kingdom!😊😇

Sun Through the Weeds.

    The Tree Line.

The Top of Eagle Rock. You can see this tower from way below at the start of the hike. From way down there to yes up here, made it!!

    The Valley Seen from Eagle Rock. And here's the view looking out towards all of San Jose. Downtown is located just to the left of middle of the picture. Over to the right and under the sun you'll see the southernmost tip of the Bay sparkling in all that evening light!! Worth a hike up? Oh yes indeedy.👍



Eagle Rock from Below. Down back to where we started. Cousin and I hiked up over from the right side (east), topped it (red arrow), then back down the left side (west, facing the city). Funny thing is going up was chill, but when we went back down it was SOOOOOO short and comparatively EASY! Ahhh! Heheheh. I joked with cousin hiking back down was like taking a Super Mario Bros. warp pipe to the next world. 

<insert Super Mario pipe sound>

Oh by the way: Eat it, ALUM ROCK NINJAS! Not this time, muahaha! Your ambush tactics are no match for my skills with the sword!😋

Neph & The Dinosaurs

Nephew got me two of my favorites in one object: 

1) Red
2) Triceratops

'Cause he's cool like that!! (Thanks, kid!😊 Woohoo!!) And he got an orange Tyrannosaurus rex; so may that eternal battle between the T. rex and Triceratops continue, GRRRRR!!! But these two dinosaurs also figure skated on a slippery table at Wing Stop. 

Aye yo fo' real tho.

That happened.

She Came with Cute, I Shoulda Put Back with Pretty

Aye yo to the girl at Eastridge who looked me up & down and said my outfit is "cute": Sincerely, thank you for the compliment, hon. Nah, I don't dress like this everyday, but oh yes when I feel good and... knowing I be talkin' to pretty ladies such as yourself. #Slick 😘

A Weirdo Regardless

There was an abundance of Vietnamese folks grocery shopping at the Mexican supermarket this morning. Don't be surprised--that's how our city rolls. (My Vietnamese best friend is also back in town. That might be the coincidental sign to notice such a thing, aye?)

I walked by the hot sauce aisle and my mouth watered at the sight of all those bottles of oh-so-tasty red heat, yum! 

Tried on a couple of sombreros and was said that I look like a weirdo.

But I look like a weirdo regardless.

I forgot that Donald Duck schleps orange juice. He does, you know? Because ducks and oranges make sense.

Also saw Jimmy Page... if he were a widowed Vietnamese grandmother.

3 How It Turns

With niece & nephews (The Three Musketeers!) at Chuck E. Cheese and across from me caught a lady looking. Checked again, Yep. And again. She had three kids. 

Told my cousin about this. He said, "Well you can give her a fourth!"

What? Nah, I ain't tryin' be nobody's baby daddy. Child support--NOPE. Plus who wants to put another human being into this miserable world? I am not taking THAT responsibility; I know how it turns.

Plus the three I got in the Musketeers is plenty fulfilling to give guidance to in the peace & joy to be found in life!

To be fair, she was pretty tho.😘

Ribbon Slaps, No Booty Taps

Just realized my sense of romanticism isn't a comfy thing for everybody. (Why didn't I know this before? It's blatant.) So I have to keep this nonsense to myself. Or put it into song. Slap a ribbon around it and into more songs. Which is a win.

Hainbow on the Window Sill

#Hainbow almost tripped me UP the stairs this morning. UP THE STAIRS. Then later got too playful and I blurted out, "Hainbow, you toe-bitin' floozy!" #Oops 😋 Then chilled on the bedroom window sill.😽

Monterey Golf Course Adventurin'

While her brother and auntie were driving/chipping/putting, niece & I went adventurin' around the golf course! Deer roamed, a butterfly flew, walked through trees, rowed an imaginary boat, plus picked a bit o' wood and a few rocks.
