Happy 4:20
Category: 420
I'm not happy to say that I won't be celebrating 4-20 this year. I quit about two weeks ago and when i tried to find some tonight my guy said he was out. how could you be out - this is a holiday for us?? well maybe thats why he's out.

So in honor of this special day I posted a new user sound. Its the beatles who we can be pretty sure of enjoyed their fair share of 4-20.

Here's a picture of my unit:
(no not that unit)

NOTE: NOT INTENDED FOR ILLEGAL PURPOSES

As you look at the picture and listen to the song I want you to change the lyrics in your head to "while my Bong gently weeps." K?

So anyway now that thats out of the way I have something to get off my chest. I am really tired of dealing with judgemental assholes who don't have any clue who I am or what I'm about. just today, for instance, I was sitting in class and the teacher asked a question, "does anybody know the dart theory that they refer to in the wall street journal." and I thought I had a pretty good idea what it was so I raised my hand and the teacher was like what is it, "well if you send darts to the stock page and pick about twenty five stocks then you should be diversified enough to generate a return typical to the yearly average that the stock market goes up - 12%." he was like no. and some dude across the class just starts laughing and I was like WTF?. what so damn funny atleast I participate and don't sit there like a bump on a log staring at the clock asshole.

I worked out my legs today and they are pretty shot. I had a hard tme walking out of the gym, which means I did it right. I gotta say, though that I hate working out my legs. there's just something about putting 225#'s on my back and trying to sit down with it then stand up with that scares me. I know runners develop hip and knee problems but I wonder what do heave squats do for the lower back, hip and knee joints. it can't be good. or how about strapping 5,6,7,8 45# (360#s) plates to a platform then lowering your knees to your chest for a leg press. what if I crush myself?? I'd have to wheel myself around with out any legs.

The people I work with and go to school with think I'm pretty funny. At some point in my life I learned to stand up for myself and always have a snappy comeback. this one guy last week started to fuck with me and I sent him home nearly crying. I guess when it comes down to it thats all there is to do in a greasy nasty kitchen - tell homoerotic jokes and laugh all night to pass the time. it also releives the stress of constantly being in the weeds and putting up orders.

My motto: fuck'em if they can't take a joke.

I wonder if when the ER gets slammed and triage is buried with more than they can handle are they in the weeds???

Don't forget big brother's always watching.

I love you, MrDT

Nope, the ER doesn't get in the weeds. I think that's just a restaurant thing.
metalpeter - 04/20/06 18:21
" I gotta Get you in my Life " as the lyric goes is also sung by Little Joe Peshie yes the actor. From what I understand it isn't a love song the it referes to weed. Hope 4/20 was still a good day for ya.
theecarey - 04/20/06 02:12
what, you mean they *arent* singing, While My Bong Gently Weeps? That totally works for the song. But its 2am.. and everthing is cracking me up at this point'

Is This Some Sick Joke?
Category: wtf?
New user sound dedicated to members of (e:strip).

Easters over but for some reason there is candy all over my house. I try not to eat this stuff cause sugar cranks up my insulin levels and forces me to store extra fat. It is sooo good though but I only want to eat it a few times a year.

This is what my Kitchen table looks like:

Thank God for will power cause this is what I'm going to snack on for meal #5:

image
its 8 oz of fat free cottage cheese and 6 oz of fat free/sugar free blueberry yogurt mixed...delish

And a few of these cause I didn't have any yesterday (I like the red ones the best)


image

Its kinda funny that ya'll think I'm a fitness nut cause the people who know me the best keep sending me home with this stuff. Like I don't fill my fridge with good food.

Oh yeah, one more thing

Creatine Rules!!! (e:paul) I don't know if you use this stuff yet but I just loaded it last week (4 servings a day) and this week I've added 5-10 pounds on every movement plus added reps. 3 weeks on 1 week off reload. It bloats like a son of a bitch though.

I love you all, even those who ignore me or think I'm out of my gord, MrDT
theecarey - 04/18/06 02:27
I meant to ask about the handle... It looked familiar. I just tossed a mangled lazy boy to the trash a few days ago myself.. I am brutal on my rockers. I once rocked through a glass sliding door as a kid.

DOG BEATER!! j/k :) Poor Sasha.. I bet she plays the "I am a beaten dog" card, just to up the chances of being spoiled. hahaha..and it works, right?
mrdt - 04/18/06 02:09
those are napkins and the wood on top of them is the handle to the lazyboy I just carried to the street. I keep it around to beat the dog...just kidding, I could never hurt sasha cause shes adorable and gets away with everything.
theecarey - 04/18/06 02:02
OMG look at all that candy..chips, pretzls, peeps, m&ms, gum, chocolate..you weren't kidding. I just may hit you up yet. Ive never seen so many bars of cadbury chocolate! Hope your bro is helping you out with that, regardless of him starting bfl.

Do I see tags that say, Ho Ho Ho? hahaha

I'd be all over that carrot cake... my fav. Yum.

I dig purple jelly beans. Although not when they end up being black licorice flavored.. I tossed one in my mouth last week.. thought it was a dark purple jelly bean. Nope.. it was sooo not grape flavored. I spit it out, and scraped my tongue with my shirt.. and continued to spit. *shiver* Yuck.

In a Nutshell
Category: easter sunday
Lets try this again -- Just lost my post to the back button on my mouse which should be turned off.

New user sound will accompany post so stop (e:lurking), punch in and play.

SO ANYWAY as I was saying I got up today and headed toward the boarder to join my family for easter. as a tradition my father's family gets together at this hotel on clifton hill and rents the corner suite and a row of rooms alongside a very nice indoor pool/hot tub. we've done it for two decades atleast. I remember waking up and having to search the entire hotel for my easter eggs then having a monster water battle with my cousins. talk about fun...then you we had all that shit on clifton hill to do. it was the highlight of every year jumping in between the pools and at some point somebody turned 19 so we started getting fucked up with drinking games.

But anyway back to my story, this year I had a project to do with my dad's girlfriend, which i mentioned to him but he neglected to pass on. I wanted to take the thousands of pictures from over the years and put them in the photo albums I picked up a year ago. She's all about this and most importantly I didn't want to do this alone! Alot of my picutes are of the absolutely awsome adventures/vacations that my ex-Kim and I used to take. They are a representation of some of the best days/times of my life, we had so much fun and explored so much of this great country. I figured if I had somebody to talk to while going through them the memories wouldn't overwhelm and depress me. need less to say I sat indian style on the bed by myself for a few hours while I sorted and picked the best pictures for my albums. and holy shit am I depressed now. I miss those carefree days but man did I get fat.

I kinda want to go into what happened between Kim and I but I wont cause the last post I didn't (chat got interesting). But let me tell you every woman I meet I compare to her. what a brilliant combination of sense of humor (matched mine to a t), brains and a big ol ass. when we would walk through the hood the black guys would yell, "hey thickness." I miss getting high with you and quoting Billy Madison. I tried this from time to time at work but people look at me like I'm crazy. Well maybe I am but, "its too hot for a penguin to just be walkin' around." I miss you Kim everyday, we really had some good times even if things did get ugly once and a while.

Tonight when I sleep you will be in my dreams and tomorrow when I wake up I'll feel shitty. but thats okay Dan will kick my ass while we do chest & tri's and I'll forget all about it. But do you remember the time we road the tea cups at Disney World and I got the thing spinning really fast and we staggered about for like 20 minutes.

Well anyway thats me in a nutshell. I'm happy I finally got my pictures in an album. if you ask I'll show them to you. unfortunatley Kim is in a lot of them but thats okay. I told you no matter what happens I will love you forever.

That's how my love goes - 24/7 unconditional, MrDT
theecarey - 04/17/06 03:21
That sounds like a most excellent way to spend a holiday (& with family!); Hot tubss, pool, food, drinks, entertainment.

Awe, I have fond memories of searching for easter eggs. I think a local radio station had a Full Contact Easter Egg Hunt/tackle. That would be fun..

It took a long time to stop comparing every guy I meet to someone special from my past. Not sure if it was fair to them or fair to me to hold them against someone else. But it happens.. In some ways I still do, but not nearly as much as years prior. Hold onto the memories but dont let those memories hold you back..

Bike Shopping
Category: ridin4roswell
Please click on the link to the right for new user sound. Proceed

Stopped by Berts Bikes yesterday to look at a few road bikes for the summer and some charity events. (See previous post). They seem really fucking expensive not to mention about 100-150 dollars cheaper online. Maybe I'll buy something used off of ebay cause when you crash on these bikes forget about. they fold like and bend like spoon jewelery. then your out the money. i have my tax refund coming soon and i just got a tuition refund check but this is money I sould invest in futures/ira's/stocks/mutuals or save for a rainy day. my mountain bike makes a fun ride but its slow and made for the extreme trails. Don't get me wrong, I'm doing this event no matter what but its the difference between easy/fast or hard/slow and 30 miles or 60 miles. top speed on the mountain bike is like 15-20mph but I could get the road bike up to 25-35mph which is a huge difference.

Here are the bikes they showed me:

'06 Trek 1500 for $1,100
image

'06Trek Pilot 1.2 for $950
image

I am leaning more towards the red one but I don't know it seems like an aweful amount of money to spend for something I'll only use about 20 times a year (till I move to warm weather). My buddy Steve who is considering the ride might not be able to get the day off and he could lone me his Cannondale Hybrid.

I want to clear something up for ya'll. My last post was not asking for pledges. I'll do most of that in school and at former jobs. I was/am looking to put together a team of riders, mechanics, drivers and cheering section for those who are interested. we could do this as a communtiy under the (e:strip) flag or I could do this by myself. either way I'm in and I've already printed the pages for pledges and such.

I believe in truth, beauty, freedom and above all love, MrDT

I was never a big fan of touring bikes -they seem a bit too delicate for my kind of riding- yet mountain bikes are a bit too heavy for street use. I splurged on a Specialized hybrid at Shickluna, and I am very pleased with it. It's extremely comfortable, lightweight for road use, but rugged enough to take a curb at speed when necessary.

yeah I don't know all that much about bikes, but my dad did his little mini midlife crisis a couple years ago and got all into it, so my mom gave him some top of the line carbon fiber custom built yada yada (colnago- never heard of 'em but it's $$)- point is he loooves it and rides it like crazy- put like 5000 miles on it in 2 years. (this is a 60year old guy who is not at all any sort of fitness nut). Ok (haha) so my REAL point is- if it's just for one event, you can deal with anything. But if you plan to ride it for a lifetime, it may be worth spending the extra cash. I'd go by quality/comfort/features etc, not just color/price- what's the diff between the two bikes?
libertad - 04/13/06 01:02
i should have said getting my bike in top shape for excursion. instead i said getting my in top shape
libertad - 04/13/06 00:59
I prefer the red one. I bought my bike from the paper 12 years ago and we are still in love. Its a red road bike. The more expensive one seems more uncomfortable. I was thinking about that marathon you previously posted. Sounds good, except i'm broke right now and can't afford registration fee or getting my in top shape for the excursion. Will have to double check the deadline.
