Dinner of champions!


Since we're all talking about our eating habits lately, I'll note that I neglected to eat dinner last night, but I didn't miss it tonight. Not since I went to the grocery store and spent $104! I'd better be getting something for my money! And a nice big bowl of Cocoa Krispies is exactly what I got for my money. Nothing like dinner at 10:30pm -- and it's cereal. Rock.

Figure I should do my taxes some time this week before I go to DC on Friday? Wait... That means it's gotta be Wednesday or Thursday, right? ACK. You'd think I'd be more motivated, what with all the money they'll be sending back... Procrastination rules the day.

I worked late again today. This work thing is getting old, man. I know what I need! A weekend in DC for easter, with my parents! Hooray!

Yup, nothing to say. Comment away. Make fun of the picture and tell me how I need a bloatee or something.

I guess now would be the wrong time to tell you that the comment that didn't work on your page that one day was that I liked the goatee on you but the growing in bit sucks so you should grow it while I am in Sweden?

And I had chips and salsa at 11:15... so I beat you on the bad food late at night front!

You're actually looking a bit like Tom Sizemore in that picture. And I mean the younger "Passenger 57" Tom Sizemore, not the current older, bulkier, drug-rehab Tom Sizemore who dates Paris Hilton. Ew, GOD no.

T: Well, looks like I don't have to uncomfortably bring up that whole, "do you think I should try to grow back my goatee?" question that was going to come up sooner or later since I switch between beard and no beard every few months or so...

AM(F): I completely forgot about Sly Delvecchio! But you are kinda right now that I look at it. I just need darker hair. And a bad crack habit. Which I've been accused of having anyway. Strange.

You know what they say: Procrastination is like masturbation.. they are both things I love to do oten.. no wait thats not it, oh, right Procrastination is like masturbation, it feels good but in the end you're only fucking yourself. Now go do your taxes. I was kidding about the liking to do them part. Really.

mmmm...cocoa crispies. Nothing wrong with cereal for dinner!

And Tom, that was entirely too much information.

PS. All the cool people have facial hair! (or maybe it's just that we're lazy...)

How 'bout a full-on beard?

There's nothing wrong with cereal for breakfast, but there is something seriously wrong with having Cocoa Crispies--ever. Yuck.

I liked that you changed the profile pic. Very nice.

Tom: I officially motion for your new nickname to be "The Master." I apologize in advance.

PK: What, teachers don't need to shave? Actually, now that I think about it, Matty has the beard too... I guess Mark is skipping out on the trend! And no, I never read GQ. Nor do I own a $3800 shirt.

Jeremy: I can tell you are a man of taste, not laziness. Well, maybe some.

Katie: No Cocoa Crispies? Ever? I know you've got the whole no chocolate lent thing going, but still. This makes me question your taste. And no full beard, I've never liked that. Besides, Matty already sports the full beard and I caught enough grief when I cut off all my hair and we were two bald dudes working out at the gym. Bad things.

I was getting sick of that picture anyway. It also made me feel weird when I wore the shirt out, if that makes any sense...

Josh - definitely going with the Passenger 57 look in that picture - holy shit!!! And, man, I could go for some Cocoa Crispies....damnit!!! Just ran out of Golden Grahams and CTC - blew right through that shit....

KitKat - NO COCOA KRISPIES?? Dammmmnnnnnn......

PK - you're just growing your shit out so your kids 'think'you have some street cred - we know the truth, though. Papelbon says 'hello!'

Maki (again) - I enjoy the clean shaven look - need to stay as young looking as possible for as long as I can....

 
At 11:53 AM, April 12, 2006, Blogger Tracy said...

I must agree with Katie on the chocolate cereal front... I like frosted flakes!
Or frosted mini wheats...
Maybe I just like frosted things.
And I appear to like to use the word front when commenting on this blog.

I guess I've never seen P57... because I don't know who it is that you are supposed to look like, Maki... maybe I'll need to google it.
Google... *giggle*
Google will always make me think of Jeremy's hat.
Someday I'm going to steal it at least long enough to get a photo in it!
Katie too!

 
At 12:07 PM, April 12, 2006, Blogger Unknown said...

I will loan the hat out for pictures. Anyone trying to leave with it gets to find out about my "anger issues" though!

I also now question the taste of the women in this post. No cocoa crispies?! Are you crazy? How can you turn away the artificial chocolately goodness that even changes the color of your milk?

Maki: I admit it. I am a Lazy Man of Taste™

 
At 12:12 PM, April 12, 2006, Anonymous Anonymous said...

Maki-Do you want to look older or younger? Do you like the "saint" look or the "hmmm...I WONDER if he's got a little "bad boy" in him" look? I say go with the goatee...cause we know you have that little quirky bad boy side waiting to emerge (remember, i've seen you at the Ale House a few nights!!) Although, i think the goatee growth looks better with hair all over, not just a patch on the chin--it reminds me of a woman's...nevermind (stopping now)Completely shaven and completely scruffy are total turn-ons---especially when you get to kiss and nuzzle BOTH in the same week!

Anyone remember my roommate?

Go with Fruity Pebbles. If you're going to fake it, fruit is better for you than chocolate anyway.

And go with the facial hair. It looked good, save for the time you thought it would be cool to grow it all thick for your "winter" trip, Grizzly Adams.

Through the magic of television, I've watched Grissom on CSI (Vegas, baby! Yeah!) go from full beard, to goatee, to clean-shaven in a couple hours. Stephen and I both voted "no" on the clean-shaven.

My dad also pulled a fast one on me. He's had a beard my entire life, and suddenly decided to shave it into a goatee while I was away at college. He called and told me, and I was all, "Good for you, dad! Keep the youth!" I never got to see it because he went clean shaven the day before I came home for a visit. I seriously didn't know him, and told him NEVER to do that again. He hasn't. I also told him never to sport the handlebar mustache he had when he met my mom, just to be safe.

And Maki, if you are going to grow one out, keep it trimmed. Any woman in her right mind would never allow bristly shit in the Netherlands. Y'ah mean?

I have a lot of input on this topic. Sorry.

BD: oh em gee! If my dad shaved off his beard... well, I would be afraid. I have seen photos of him without, and it is very very strange!
On that note...
M: Please don't grow a full beard. You'd remind me of my dad. And even though the rumor is that women look for a mate that reminds them of their dad, that would be going too far.
Much too far.

PK: I wish I got carded for R-rated movies!

Oh yeah...
J: I'm holding you to the hat things. Instead of feet, I'm going to do a g-hat series.

Grisson from CSI looks way hot with his beard :) Frankly, I'm over the goatee thing (no offense out there). I say full beard or nothing! By the way, Matt's beard is barely even noticeable since it's all light.

Fruity pebbles? Ugh. Even worse. No pebbles! If I wanted cold mush for breakfast, I'd eat oatmeal that had been sitting out. But I don't want cold mush for breaky, so I like stuff that stays somewhat crunchy. Now, Cocoa Puffs--now we're talking.

Fixed it for you, A. I hadn't paid any attention to the default..DIRTY BLOGSPOT.

T: Yes, ok. As long as no one has head lice or fungus...that would just be gross. :|

ett hmmmm... *clearing throat*
*snicker, snicker*

Thinking of Maki as a "mate" are we?

BD-I kinda like Fruity Pebbles...(I hate cocoa krispies or ANY chocolate cereal....yucky) I am a bit "fruity"
-Sweet Disaster
-Drama Mama
-Down low
hmmm....

Oh, and THANK GOD my wonderful, loving, sweet, laid-back, hunk-o-junk-in-his-trunk man is NOTHING like my father...given credit to tracy for that one--not everyone looks for a mate with characteristics of their father... I still love my Dad, but I am ever so grateful I don't live with a military dictator...
(At least I learned a bit of humility...)

I like my mom. She's great. The women I date only vaguely have anything in common with her. Interestingly enough, she didn't like the one girl I dated that was a lot like her.

My dad has many qualities that wouldn't be bad. Like he was always VERY there for my sister and I growing up... picking us up from school or events... coaching my sis's basketball team... coming to my dance recitals and plays... putting my photography up in his office... bragging about my sister's humanitarian trips to his students...
He is a great dad.

Mate? Did I say that? Out loud? It's like Australian... you know, mate. Or pirate-ese. Don't pirates say mate? I love pirates... they give me beads at tennis matches. : )

I've been reading blogs on my BlackBerry since I hit the unemployment trail and it would take too long to scroll up to are wher e the credit it due, but I am STILL laughing at whomever compared a partial goatee to a woman "down there". HA HA HA HA!! I hope you do that! (starts chanting) doo IT, doo IT!! Then you can have another fun nickname. Like Bushface. Or Pubejaw. Or Landing Strip. Or Chinpelt. Or Dances With Beavers. The possibilities are seriously endless.

Dude, it's no fun if you take the Achewood jokes from me. We set them up for each other then knock them down and share a good webcomic obsessive laugh.

That's the way it's supposed to be.

On the other hand, you did pimp the Achewood (America's finest comic strip ever about anthropomorphic cats/teddy bears and otters with a liberal dash of robots who give fantastic advice), so I guess it's excusable.

I must work Achewood into my blog. Now seems like a bad time to start though.

Dances with Beavers...
I can't read Lindsay's comments at work... they make me pee.
You are gonna have a lot to live up to once you get yer butt to Jax, dear!

HEY!

My beard is visible from fucking space, dammit!

My beard and the damn Great Wall of China!

We're the wonders, Kit!

Matty has a beard?
Did you have it when I met you?

 
At 4:03 PM, April 12, 2006, Blogger Matt said...

Oh...

Oh that is it!

I am to beards what Tom Selleck is to mustaches woman!

My beard is the gold standard of beards!

My beard tickles the ladies, but never scratches them!

My beard gives me a drastic way to change my appearance when, inevitably, I'm on America's Most Wanted!

My beard keeps me from having to spend almost ten minutes a morning shaving!

My beard stays up with me when I can't sleep and will often tell me stories of great beards of times past and the heroic deeds they performed!

My beard is symmetrical!

WOMAN!

now that is one cute face...
you know, if you raised that cereal spoon up
just a coupla more inches, it would kind of look
like a beard...albeit a Cocoa Krispie beard...
man, you guys are so lucky, we dont have
Cocoa Krispies up here in the North Polish...
i bet you have Rice Chex too, lucky people...
my kid's gonna smuggle me some back when
he comes home from Jazzzzz University soon.

You should have. Sometimes the best jokes are the most obvious. Or, more likely, the most obvious jokes are the only ones I can think of.

And no thanks. I don't want any cereal.

My Lent is officially over, though. I eat chocolate now.

Matt, I don't think you could "drastically" change your appearance w/your beard, since we barely even knew it was there. Nice try, though. I'm not saying it isn't a great beard, but it's subtle. It's not all Jonathan Frakes or anything.

 
At 5:54 PM, April 12, 2006, Blogger Tracy said...

I did my taxes... AND I got my refund already. Guess where I'm spending it!!?
(Sweden... that's right, I'm going to Sweden!!)

I gave up alcohol for Lent... thank god Lent is almost over. I need to have a drink.

Only ONE of us likes to masterbate??

Fine Matty... you obviously have the most spectacular beard on the fucking planet. Not fucking planet. But FUCKING planet. Get it?
Ha.

Maki: thanks for the offer but I think I've got enough nicknames as it is. Besides if you think of "The Master" in terms of Sienfeld(Master of my domain) it means the exact opposite of what you are trying to imply.

Having met you only two months ago, I don't know what you look like with the goatee, so I say go for it, if for no other reason than we get to call you Dances with Beavers. Not to mention, T thinks you should, it's usualy best to listen to the woman.
