The Dawning of a coming Apocalypse

T-minus 3 years folks....
Grab your love and watch it all come down.
Not even the coming nuclear holocaust can crush the best of our human emotions.

In Sickness and in Health

My friends make me sick... or I should say, the expired ass food they leave lying around for people to eat makes me sick....

Why would you do that to me Andy?
You know the 1st thing I do when I come over is look for cereal and cookies or any suitable substitute thereof.
Why would you leave out something of a peanut butter nature for me to see, you know I'm gonna eat it-

That fucking Cliff Bar from your fruit bowl made me puke as soon as I got home from your place.... thanks buddy!
Was it sabotage? Did you not like the socks I got you for Christmas???

Boxing Day

Today's Boxing Day in the old continent AND Canada (love Canada).
This boxing day will be spent eating out of paper plates and laying waste to 2 big cheesecakes and 5 mini, cupcake sized cheesecakes.... Needless to say I have a problem with self control.

Coco's coming by to watch movies with my folks and I.
We highly recommend you watch American Crime, you wont regret it.

ALSO- go find the new Barney Bubbles book that just came out- It's brilliant!

XMAS FOR THE MEXS

I love traditions- the regularity of them, the rules and conduct, and most of all, the feeling that surrounds traditions.
It's a very comforting feeling- no matter what's going on in the world that day- there is some normality to life.

3rd World Countries

It's a truism of the 3rd World-
you have to spice up an otherwise bland plate with whatever you can.

In the case of India- they tend to over do it with the spices.
They need to tone down the Kashmir flakes on the potatoes-
after eating this I smelled like Ghandi for a while

Old Carbs

I've been sidelined by my age and betrayed by my once stalwart physique.... I am not as flexible as I once was.
When I was a kid I could climb up trees, jump off them, land on my knees and immediately get up and do it again-
Even a decade ago, when I would ritually abuse my body night after night, came morning I was alright.

Not until last week did I realize that you can't do that forever...
It's cold and the Brits have granted me some holiday vacation time, I'm screening my calls and not going out.

As Rene put it, I've gone "dark"

EL CLASICO

We celebrate the Clasico with fruits and vegetables
not chips and beer as it's accustomed.

Birdman

In most circles, it is completely against the rules to give yourself a nickname... it's just NOT allowed.
Black gentlemen, however, are excluded from this. They are the only people in the world that can re-christen themselves with any ridiculous name or symbol that's to their liking (i.e.Prince) and we must all abide.

Coco and I ran into Birdman at a local Hamburger joint.
He was trying to hit on my lady but I quickly iced the situation...
he ended up giving us advice on love and life-

Amongst other things, he said women are always right and that men have to realize that in order to be happy with a woman.
Then he said that all women should "know their place" in the relationship...

His neo-progressive-machoism really threw me for a loop-
Coco smiled politely and laughed.

It's not all that bad

If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Half a Plate

Call me morbid, call me pale
I've spent six years on your trail
Six long years
On your trail

Call me morbid, call me pale
I've spent six years on your trail
Six full years of my life on your trail


And if you have five seconds to spare
Then I'll tell you the story of my life :
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
I went to London and I
I booked myself in at the Y ... W.C.A.
I said : "I like it here - can I stay ?
I like it here - can I stay ?
Do you have a vacancy
For a Back-scrubber?"

It's not the Heat, it's the HUMILITY.... or lack thereof

If I've said it a thousand times, I've said it a million.

Those that come from the higher end of the socio-economic plank tend to be giant douchebags.

There is a small distinction to be made, however. And that is, that the douchyness tends to only apply to those that
were born into money, not to those that came about it later. This has everything to do with a person's childhood upbringing.

We all develop our persona's by the age of 5- If you are a spoiled, rich brat at 5- Chances are you are going to be a spoiled, rich brat at 25/ 35/45/ Corpse... No ifs, ands or buts about it- It's the truth.

Having said that I will say that racism in America is almost gone but Classims is alive and well.

The Freeze

No one likes a headache, especially the frontal lobe ones that are caused by stress or popsicles.. the dreaded "Brain Freeze".

It's your body is punishing you for not taking it easy,
"settle down fool- take your time and enjoy this shit- it's good! don't rush it" is what your bod is saying.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOLASSOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vivimos la Pasión este ultimo fin de semana-
VAMOS U DE G!!
SI SE PUEDE!!

the End

2008
It's been a year in food-
and sadly this little project has its days numbered.

Here- a photo printed in an American Photo mag this last spring.
