Therapy...

This blog entry is entitled "therapy". 'Nuff said about that.

These are both members of the British Royal Army, one guarding the Queen of England at Buckingham Palace (horse) and the other a guard resident at the Tower of London. We seemed to be the only people respectful enough to take photos from a distance of these guys, as we witnessed a number of large crowds of wacky tourists standing 2 feet from them, cameras cocked and loaded, pointing at them with their fingers, doing gang symbols, making funny faces and laughing hysterically while the poor soldiers were unable move, much less react. They had to remain completely stoic and statue like. I can only imagine what goes through their heads all day as they repeatedly minute by minute get treated and exploited as if they were not living, breathing human beings.

A freakishly knowledgeable person recently told me that the new pop artist, James Blunt, was a former member of the British Royal army. Lucky for him, he's made enough cash to pay for his future lifetime of therapy.

Don't forget to double click on all the photos to enlarge to actual size.
