Wait, who's a Leb?

If you're out of the loop on international swimming, this guy is a big gold medallist these days....
Caeleb's got (3) cow(s) and a real purdy wife y'all....
https://youtu.be/dBTzI1Q7I2M
The cow(s) get cookies instead of pienso y'all, think about it....
And what's most beautiful about that scene of domestic bliss, you're not seeing Will Ferrell anywhere doing devious, evil stuff....
Ok Dressel can play the drums as well. Better rewind in my brain: I mentioned Penny from year twelve high school. Ok my roommate in those days was at first year university in 1994 while I was completing 'college' or last year high school (whatever). In the southern hemisphere school starts and ends in the same calendar year (early Feb to mid December, summer break is only six weeks).
A few years earlier this roommate (I just named him Winston Churchill for the sake of this blog, but that's not his actual name neither a psychotic delusion for all you greedy pharmaceutical company reps looking to push pills, newsflash respecting his privacy y'all), was in the same grade as moi, as I had not yet repeated a year for spending time in Spain in 1992/93 (just learning the Spanish language from nada to third gear y'all, nothing to see here). We were in shop class like in 1989 or something, so like five years before Penny the 1st, and he and some other lame dummy were mocking my wood working skills because my pig shaped piggy bank has some imperfections.
Ok so just processing y'all. Also doing a lot of swimming every Saturday morning. Just re-enrolled the boy after the soccer season ended, so now both girls are in the same class at 9am and the boy at 10am on Saturday mornings. Not easy just readjusting the whole Spanish caravan from Spain to Australia in one generation then building like an American standard family y'all. Think about it, I am. Pienso y'all.
This Dressel looks different with hair cropped short to long and if you're studying anatomy from a Da Vinci kind of perspective, the guy is extremely ripped. Wow. With the short hair in one photo or two, he's the spitting image of an American guy from Florida I shared about seven months working with in Guangzhou China consecutively in 2004/2005. I actually cannot remember the guy's name now but we had a reasonably amicable relationship however we did not act super buddy. I mean we saw each other everyday, our hotel suites were like literally next to each other after I got moved down the wing and we were seeing each other in the daycare center we were working at like everyday. He definitely looked like this swimmer guy when his hair is short. He also did weights, my colleague, but this swimmer guy is off the charts anatomically. The amount of muscle development is off the charts.
Ok on to the mind since that's my department. Whether you want to avoid depression, anorexia, hating yourself, overcome abuse, recognize it first, whatever.
What's most telling on the mind with this swimmer is something a lot of Olympic swimmers go through, which is you're training for four years for the Olympics and that's your everything. Robert was the name of that american guy. I won't put his last name but I did find him on Facebook at one point years later. There wasn't any Facebook in 2005. I mean we never really hit it off as friends he and I but you can't always do that and our coworker relationship was cordial and friendly. No problems there. As I said I get along pretty well with Americans most of the time. I think this guy was from a military family also but had no dad. I wasn't sure if he was going to marry his Chinese girlfriend or was just kidding himself about her but I was sure I didn't want to get a Chinese wife from mainland china in those days.
Anyway so the swimmer, Lebbo (Australian for Lebanese), sorry now I'm remembering George W Bush's reaction to the Lebanese leader getting bombed in early 2005 from those days in china working with that Florida guy Robert that looks like the swimmer Leb, let me pivot to geopolitics one moment....
When Olympic/professional swimmers feel suicidal or actually suicide:

Ok pivoting quickly back to poor old George W's terrorist nemesis from the middle east etc, one main Hezbollah ringleader to watch out for was Mustafa Badreddine.
https://youtu.be/yUdJ5c2QEI0
He was implicated in the 1983 attack on the us and french embassy, I think that one killed 241 american soldiers so pretty high kill count. Then he was implicated in the aforementioned just now bombing of Lebanese PM Rafik Hariri or whatever his name was, in February 2005, from those China Guangzhou days with Robbo.
Ok so switching back from terrorists and suicide bombers, and this Badreddine wasn't a suicide bomber from what I can see briefly looking at it but a real bomber....
Back to Caeleb... the purchase that was worth every Penny....

Will just pivot back to Chris Chappel at China Uncensored.... Very good way to keep an eye on china.....
https://youtu.be/lxnNT4zRzcs
Guess I should try reaching out to Robbo one of these days and ask him if he ever ended up marrying his Chinese sweetheart and if he watches China uncensored.....
I never really gave the guy much thought. I mean I don't think about Chris Chappel either but sometimes I'll watch his show and email him and he'll just email back like haha. I mean I can easily feel socially awkward or something I don't know....
