What Are You Looking At?

Have you ever had some one look at you as if they were trying to send you the message: what are you looking at? It happens to most of us occasionally. Usually it is when your gaze happens to meet that of a stranger. Don't be intimidated by this. Just smile and say hello and that look of perplexity of why are you looking at me will turn to a look of either joy or a look of more perplexity for why is this person greeting me. Either way it usually results in a smile and may even brighten somebody's day. So next time you get the the look of why are you looking at me, just let then know it was so I could make your day a little better.

Another good post: Don't Stare! It's Not Polite.

Don't stare! It's not polite.

I dislike it when people stare. Here is what I imagine the animals at the zoo would be thinking if they cared.

Meerkat: What are You Looking at? Don't stare it's not polite.
Man: I was just curious to see what you were doing. What are you and what are you doing?
Meerkat: Stop looking at me. Take a picture it lasts longer.
Man: Aren't you going to answer my question.
Meerkat: Are you kidding. I'm not going to speak with you. You're crazy. Your talking to a meerkat.
Man: Touché

Bill and Ted's Red Panda Rave

Narrator: After BIll and Ted' Excellent Adventure,  and their Bogus Journey they went to the zoo.
Bill: You know Ted I can't think of any reason for a radical red panda, like this one, to be asleep on such a beautiful morning. I guess he had a late night.
Ted: Actually now that I think of it I heard about a red panda at a rave last night on the news. He was going all sorts of crazy. This must be him.
Bill: That crazy party animal. Are you sure he isn't just nocturnal?
Ted: Shshsh let him sleep. He probably has a hangover from last night.
Bill: Are you kidding? He looks most tranquil. I'm going to poke him.
Ted: Dude that is nuts. He will chew your finger off.
Bill: Dude! I'll wear a glove.
Ted: Dude!. Why did you bring a baseball glove to the zoo?
Bill: I thought I might want to catch an animal.
Ted: Ohhh. That makes sense... Careful!... Careful!...
Bill: POKE!
Red Panda: Can't you see I'm sleeping here! Get out of here before I claw your eyes out! I was up all night dancing! Let me SLEEP!
Ted: Dude! It is him!
Bill: Hey you want to go out with us tonight to pick up some babes?
Red Panda: Are you still here? I thought I told you to go away.
Ted: Come on most excellent red panda!
Red Panda: I warning you go back to your phone booth and keep you trap shut so I can sleep.
Ted: Whoa! Narly. I think he is serous.
Bill: I'm going to poke him again... POKE!
Narrator: After a long surgery doctors were able to reattach Bill's face, and after all of the physical therapy he has been able to walk again.
Ted: What kind of adventure should we have today?
Bill: Let's see if that Red Panda guy wants to party again.

Prairie Dog Showdown

These two don't seem to care much for each other. I didn't stick around to see who won this tiff, but it seemed to be more bark than bite. I took this picture at the Utah Hogle Zoo.

Iguana

I took this picture at the Utah Hogle zoo on a trip with my niece and nephews. It was a fun day. This guy is in a large enclosure with birds that you can walk through. It is kinda like a big green house with animals in it. I always thought it would be cool to have something similar at my house. All I have to do is become ridiculously rich and I can.

How the World Sees You.

Every one is full of opinions on who and what we should be. You may be mocked for the way you look, the way you walk, or the way you talk. We all look goofy at some point whether on accident or purpose. Don't let the opinions of others determine the way you see yourself.
