I'm a great grandson because my mother's grandmother is still alive. (i got that joke from a Popsicle in a nursing home)
I remember thinking at the end of September, "Gee Golly. I love October. It's my favorite time of the year!" This October has been a total shit-storm, probably because I had that fleeting thought of looking forward to it. Fuck October indeed.
I just organized beers with the people in my fantasy hockey pool for later tonight, just so that I have the opportunity to talk shit face to face. It's not quite as fun by email.
I'm with you, TX. Quite a few things happened this month that I would consider paying people to delete from my memory.
They might also be her axe-throwing league members. It'd be a lot more effective. And I think this was also the plot of a movie:
The problem with axe-throwing and beer is... well, exactly that. Axe throwing and beer. You can't be good at both, at the same time.
Sure you can... but you live in Toronto and have to artificially show your inner redneck. Try living in the middle of the wilderness with bears and eagles and you'll find that your redneck DNA comes shining through. On another note, I really, really hate people that dress up their pets and do weird shit to them. Except this. This rocks. I'd do this year-round, not just at Halloween.
I am certainly not an amateur drinker. But I do really suck at axe throwing right now. And it grinds me big time, because I'm way too competitive to not be the best at any activity/sport. I psyche myself out when the games/points matter.
Well there's your problem... points? In axe throwing? Fuck that... are you the one who walks away alive? Then you "win".
It's not that kind of axe throwing, Nett. If it was, there's a few people I'd make sure I invited out to "play."
I'm sure you all care, but starting tomorrow I'm switching to a strict Paleo diet. See if getting rid of all the crap (and grains) makes me feel any better. The point of mentioning it, though, is that I just finished making a pizza fritatta (eggs, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, herbs, cheese), bison goulash (ground bison, lots of varieties of mushrooms, peppers, tomato sauce, bacon, anchovies) and am presently cooking a prime rib roast. Who said a sensible diet was boring, eh?
My eating habits have been piss poor over the past couple of weeks which always leave me feeling bloated and kind of miserable. You would think that knowing this would be enough to get me back on track, but nope. I think I need a make a change too. Don't know how I feel about Paleo though.
I swing back and forth between siding with Paleo and Clean Eating. However, last week I tried an experiment: I went strict paleo for two days. On the third day, I had a "grainy" breakfast...triggered hunger for the rest of the day and by the end of the week I was eating sugar and every other kind of crap. AND, when I first ate a sweet, I got really dizzy. So yeah. Gonna see what this does. A friend (who is an ER nurse) says that oatmeal and whole wheat pasta in moderation is great for you, but as for right now I want to see if I can regulate my insulin and hormones, and the carbs are causing spikes. PS - Ben Rothlesberger is kinda cross-eyed.
