Photograpic Journal for 4/18/08

[Timber]

I've never made anything that wasn't good. And if you don't trust yourself to come up with something this place has recipes postered all over the place.

[Kidnemo]

This thread has turned out to be pretty good.

I started taking some pics, then we had a bit of family drama (which I'll probably make a thread about), so I'll give this a try next week.

Pa: good stuff, you know I dig the bjj pics! As an aside, I'm still not sure I'm convinced about kettle bells instead of normal weights.

[Mykozo]

Okay, what the hell Timber, I hear about this Mongolian BBQ all the damn time. My boyfriend had his internship in Columbus last year (near Easton) and raved about the shit.

Mongolian BBQ is fucking magical. They have one on Wisconsin Ave. in DC that does all you can eat lunch for 10 bucks, and it is zomg delicious.

This thread does rock. Let's do this again sometime.

As an aside, I'm still not sure I'm convinced about kettle bells instead of normal weights.

My thing with that is I'm not so good at motivating myself beyond what I already do at home and the academy. So by hanging around that guy (you see his arm in the pic with Paul) and just doing whatever he says, I get in waaaaay better shape. The only thing I KNOW for a fact about weights of any kind is that deadlifting is radical.

Doc's cat salvage pic is effing righteous.

I will have to third the Mongolian BBQ. I have a few down here in Southern NJ. They rock ... HARD!

Sept. 11, the 7th anniversery... me, you, anth, josh, ryan (chris if he's around)...it's a goddamn date.

Sorry it took me so long to post my pictures but I had a terrible Friday/Saturday but at least most of my day was normal.

Anyway, on with the show:

I wake up every day in a shithole that is my bedroom. Very mess, yes, but it's home and I love it.

I fell asleep earlier the night before, not completing my assignments for my Jewish editor. Of course, he's now away for Passover. Great. He's going to hate me Monday morning.

After a shower, I like to dance while getting dressed. Yeah, seriously. This morning my poison of choice was Thriller. It was an awesome way to get dressed.

No more buses run from my new place to my old neighborhood so I had to walk it. It was a gorgeous day and all the blacks were under police surveillance at the high school so it was a quiet walk there.

My barber, who has been a family friend since I wasn't even conceived, running late.

But when his ass finally does show up, he, my mother, a few of the people there, and I were having a delightful conversation involving alcohol and abusing women.

Ah, the kids slinging rock on my block. Some things never change.

Ah, my pimped-out ride finally gets here. About half an hour late...

Working behind my slacker employee. Ever since this management bump at my job, I've noticed just how lazy this guy can be. He tried to push all his work onto me when I fell behind training him. At least Freddy gives me comfort. All the while...

My boss doesn't even want to hear my complaining about it on a Friday so he closes the door to his office. The bastard.

The commute home always sucks ass. Always. This is an every fucking day thing.

At least my stop is decorated with the homeless. It gives the neighborhood color.

I wasted no time getting drunk...

And even more drunk.

Hey! This guy drank nearly as much as I did and almost died! That was a fun night, guy, whoever you are!

Not pictured:

Getting so drunk I got into a nasty fight with the girlfriend.

Girlfriend's friend calling me talking about getting punched in the face by a guy she dated and who got her pregnant...she aborted the pregnancy...but still...
Chafed balls from sleeping on the carpet and constantly shifting around.

Things I have learned so far from this thread: Buttplant's town and house are nowhere near as run down as I expected them to be. Razor has problems giving feedback to his direct reports.

Also, Pa, we have to hang out - I'll be in Wallingford June 9th-12th. Bring those dogs of yours to Greenlake and we'll go running with my girl. Then we can go for some sort of food afterwards.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I felt it would be rude to say so in front of other people, but now, having seen it, I give my stamp of approval to Anne's butt. But I learned that outside this thread.

[Tones]

This is a really interesting thread. Good job TNL.

What about Breakfast with TNL?

Lunch at the best noodle house I've ever eaten at.

Loading the Motherless Children's equipment. I watched the van. I carry equipment for no one.

I did help them fold records.

Then they played. I enjoyed myself. Everyone stayed seated until I walked up front and was "that guy" standing up there for a song or two. Then people followed. Nobody can do anything unless someone does it first. Pathetic.

Late night dinner at subway. Eat Fresh™
The guy behind me said "vegetables is nasty son" to one of his friends as I ordered my sub. He then ordered a double meat roast beef (put some bacon on that son) with extra mayonnaise and four cookies. He was about six feet tall and about 280 mouth breathing pounds of jiggle. I love vegetables.
