Not really. just wanted to get your attention. As you know the makers of Big Bowl of Soup are kind of bias towards the country Bolivia. Thats because we’re from there. C’mon now, why else would we have so many pro Bolivian articles? Lets get back on topic, You keep hearing how great Micheal Phelps is doing and how China is hogging all the Gold medals, But have you heard about the Bolivian Olympic Team? Or did those darn Bolivians even send a team to Beijing?
To answer your question Yes. We sent a so called delegation to compete in this years summer Olympics. Lets see how they’re doing. In Mens Cycling, representing Team Bolivia in 2008 was Horacio Gallardo. To give you a quick summary, he didn’t finish. 
Here he is holding up pretty good for the camera and Chile’s Cyclist. In Mens Shooting Cesar David Menacho gave hope to Bolivia, in the end he didn’t advance and ranked 34th.
When a Man can’t do a job, you get the woman to finish. In this case the Countries pride rested in the hands and biceps of Maria Teresa Monasterio who competed in Womens Weightlifting.
Although she didn’t win, she ranked 17th which is not bad considering Bolivian Women are better at controlling men than lifting 7okg above their head (actually Monasterio lifted 78). She was also the oldest Athlete to qualify for the Summer Games. This Cougar shows her Bolivian Pride in a Red, Yellow and Green singlet and a face that says ”We’re still here!” And I’m sure those Bolivians will keep coming back to the Olympics to get their hands on their first Gold medal which lies somewhere in the future. Untill then we’ll keep trying our hand at the World Cup and the Pokemon TCG Championship, I don’t know, I heard they’re pretty good at that kind of stuff.
We’ll keep you posted on funny and interesting topics concerning the Beijing 2008 summer Olympics

So yes its been awhile since I posted an article. I would like to share with you the fact that i do love writing and happen to write alot, so from now on I will try to start posting my writings RIGHT after I WRITE them, not two months later. Okay so for our Cheerleading team we have a motto that we say everyday, it reads as follows:
-We keep our thoughts positive because our thoughts become our words. We keep our words positive because our words become our actions. We keep our actions positive because our actions become our habits. We keep our habits positive because our habits become our values. We keep our values positive because our values become our destiny.-Okay so ponder on this thought. The more I think about it, the more I realize that Its a good foundation to build your life upon. Why waste your time in negative thoughts when you could be living a life of optimism and hope? A life in negativity is a life wasted. By simply keeping our thoughts positive we can control a chain that leads our thoughts to our words, our words to our actions and so on until it finally reaches positive values and a good future. 
others. Although I don’t believe in destiny 100%, I believe everything happens for a reason but thus not
always destined to happen. But important and positive values can take you far in life and ensure you
happiness. If you live your life full of positivity, there wont be room for anything else.
-And thats something worth thinking about.
Yours truly -Chef-
I’m moving out soon and i’m not excited nor am I sad. I’m just moving out. I don’t want to make a big deal out of it so I didn’t really tell anybody until it was a for sure thing but there is one little guy who I think both, doesn’t fully understand what’s going on and will also be affected the most by my heroic actions. It’s my kid brother who you might recognize from the you-tube videos. A while back when I decided to confide in him that dirty little secret of mine, we were in my room as I told him that soon he would be able to use my room as a game room because I was moving out. I waited for a response. Maybe something like “good luck” or “hey, I have some saved up money you can have for gas”. But no, to my surprise his perfectly round eyes squinted somewhat and as he looked down I could see they began to water a little.Wow I wondered to myself. My little brother is crying for me. So I rubbed his head and told him to stop crying, although inside I felt awsome in a Fidel Castro kind of way. I tried comforting him by also saying that I would visit him every once in a while. What did he say as he looked up with those teary eyes?
“You’re taking the Wii?”…He said this with the utmost sincerity.
So after laughing for about 10 minutes, I realized that maybe the Wii had been a better brother than I. I mean it’s always there when he needs it. All he has to do is push the on button unlike me who spares the “there’s nothing better to do” time for him.
The Wii makes him happy- I tell him what to do hence, make him unhappy.
The Wii is also wireless- I have braces.Case closed.

I’m not pregnant. I presume no man would want to venture into that realm of tedious waiting and throwing up. But there was one man who did us other men a favor by showing us that not only that men could pop out babies but that if you did you might just appear on Oprah!
Thomas Beatie has just had his baby (who was a girl by the way) and as disturbingly fascinated as I was when I heard this new “dommy” or “maddy” was pregnant a while back, I want to assure all the now excited guys out there who all of a sudden feel inspired to go out and get pregnant themselves that: YOU CAN’T.
Thomas was previously and is currently equipped with female reproductive organs.
In other words: This dude is a chick. Not much of a shocker for you Oprah fans or for those who have done their fair share of transsexual bar experimenting.
Originally Beetie was born Tracy Lagondin and might I add looked very much like a girl.
Personally, I think this ex-model girl scout had way too much fun being a girl and so decided to have way too much fun as a guy as well. Why not? She had her cake and ate it. A dream come true.
If there are any soupers who would like more information on how to come out of the closet or on how to transfer to the other team, there is a website which I completely came across by accident while doing research on absolutely nothing. It’s conveniently called queeramerica.com
Just as a reminder, there are other ways to appear on Oprah.
Stay souped up.

My graveyard adventures have yet to show much excitement- at least for our soupers who are not easily amused- So today I present to you a silly little masterpiece. Well, silly at the very least. My hobby, if not my scapegoat to procrastinate even more than average is creating and editing videos hence, my epiphany and wake-up call that Youtube exists and therefore, should be exploited. My long journey of flooding the web with my “hobby” has begun.
Thoughts are appreciated… And mandatory.

I couldn’t believe it myself until I a saw it with my own eyes on the internet! Bolivian People now have figured out that the internet is bigger than hotmail!
This is crazy, what next? Maybe Bolivians will figure out that they don’t have to sacrifice a llama to the devil every year? I don’t know, that might be pushing it…Check this out faithfull readers. A program in La Paz, Bolivia is teaching people how to blog.

I know what you’re thinking: Why does a third world country need to blog? Good question. To answer this complicated yet important question, bigbowlofsoup was determined to ask the expert in the field of bolivian blogging. Besides me of course there was only one man who dared to venture off into this unknown field of Aymara Blogging.
Unfortunately, I’m still looking for his contact information so it might be a while, but stay tuned. Sooner or later that blogging bolivian will have no choice but to answer my emails….

Wonderful, it’s now official. I dislike (hate) Cinco de Mayo. But why, if mexican blood doesn’t even flow through my veins? That’s simple; because I’m brown and on this day I have the pleasure nay the honor of witnessing first hand the book by Gringos for Gringos on what to do throughout this flamboyant holiday. These are the 10 of the thousands of guidelines Gringos are asked to follow religiously.
1. On this day I will not only congratulate every brown person I know but I will also include people who appear to or may be brown after major sunlight. This also includes some blacks. Some may be Cuban, you never know.
2. I will go to a pure authentic mexican restaurant like Taco Bell or Taco Time both of which will make me think outside the bun and where I will be distracted by a suspicious talking Chihuahua as I eat unaware of what’s inside my Taco.
3. I will remember the great day of Mexican independence meanwhile, ignoring remarks from those “wannabe” historically correct brown people telling me that cinco de Mayo is actually a celebration of the battle of Puebla. Can you believe these people!
4. I will not talk to my minutemen friends on this day due to the fact that they are probably unavailable. They are too busy hiring illegal immigrants by the dozen to finish their backyard fountain before mother day comes. Those hypocrites.
5. I shall appreciate and remember everything immigrants both legal and “illegal” do for me and the economy. I shall remember today and forget tomorrow.
6. I will celebrate this day with as many other Gringos as I possibly can. Someone has to celebrate for the mexicans while they clean my table and finish building my house.
7. Today I will subconsciously believe in the virgin mary.
8. Today I will use Cinco de Mayo as an excuse to intoxicate my self with ,if no alcohol is available, Tacos.
9. Today I will use words like “Orale! (Or-a-lay) and “andale” (an-da-lay) both of which I will use incorrectly and probably when I am intoxicated with number 8.
10. Today I will visit bigbowlofsoup.com as I usually do every day. I will thank my deity for the food inspector and his wise words of wisdom even though he claims he’s not mexican, deep down inside I secretly think he is.
Like I mentioned, there are many other guidelines to follow but it would take me precious Cinco de Mayo celebration time to write them all. However, you are welcome to add any others I have missed.

P.S. After deep consideration, I think I’m starting to like Cinco de Mayo.
