No worries. I'm a proud gay lady, but I adore Xabi Alonso and Fernando Torres!

He's so so so delicious that when I went to the visit the Camp Nou I wanted to lick the grass, the railings, the players' seats, the floor....anything he may have come in contact with. It was a very disturbing feeling.

Actually, this was his first appearance, he dressed himself. He was wearing that when he left Chile. The thing with the white shirt happened when he signed the contract, the next day. He was then shown wearing similar type of pants, and one of those black Nike polos from the new line (that's the shirt they gave him). Oh God, I follow these guys too much. He just wore the same pants twice.

Sigh. I think I may love her more than I do her husband, and that is difficult because I adore Xabi. What a great couple.

Attraction is very subjective. Some people like Brad Pitt, some people wouldn't touch Brad "with a 3 ft long stick", or even a longer one. While Puyol doesn't have "classic" good looks, the way he carries himself (he seems serious, dedicated, etc), is very attractive. Also, his body is very attractive. Besides, I consider players like Wayne Rooney or Franck Ribery to be quite possibly the most hideous creatures on this planet, but I'm sure someone out there finds both attractive, in a way. Sometimes the most beautiful packages are not the ones you covet (i.e. while Cristiano Ronaldo may be physically beautiful, I think his terrible attitude is a huge turn off). I, for one, prefer Puyol to Cristiano, David Beckham, Pique, Sergio Ramos, etc. Only Xabi Alonso and Fernando Torres score higher on my list (maybe). He seems like a good guy (and he's so fit!).

I stand corrected. "Demonize" is a strong word. Apologies.

I agree about the location issue. Especially because of the current political climate, the country is very polarized (it's scary how much so) and some people are creating these pockets of reassurance: only listen to radio stations or watch channels that validate their views, etc. I think these particular individuals are frightened of change. Plenty is changing recently: gay marriage, ethnic minorities will be the majority in about 15-20 years, etc. People are frightened (I'm not excusing them, though), and they lash out. It's an exciting moment, but also a scary moment to live here. But I still have faith in them. They're a very resilient people. As much as I loathe certain aspects of life here, my God, these people work hard.

But on a side note: I really admire that you came over for so long, and for work. I'm trying to find a job that will place me in Spain, England, or Brazil, in the near future. I'd like the experience. I feel a lot of respect because you did it. And now, back to work! :)

I think it's always dangerous to generalize, especially about an entire country. I've lived in the US for 15 years. I've come across the most nationalistic, pro-America morons you can imagine, as well as some of the most enlightened and cosmopolitan individuals. This is a country, like any other, made up of so many cultures, ethnicities, and ideologies. Some scream louder than others, which is why many foreigners think all Americans are the same. I'm sure there are nationalists in England, France, Argentina, China, Australia, wherever. It's easy to become enraged at those few who shout "USA! USA! USA!" at every match, and mock foreigners, what you (I mean the universal "you") are not seeing are the millions of us who are shaking our heads in disapproval. I know it's easy to pick on the US, but even my 15 years (and counting) living here do not entitle me to demonize an entire country. There is so much to disapprove of about the US, and so much to praise. Like any country. Like any people. I'd rather get to know them than judge them.

I think he's so attractive. Even with the hair. Oh, the hair.
