Oh it feels good to be loved, missed, anywhere in between :).
I've been busy as of late... seeing as to how the colder weather is rolling in it affects us all in it's own way... well for me its not just the cold, its my father. You see my father is a summer, warm weather, sit out in the sun kind of guy. Well he hates winter and complains about it all year... yes even in the summer because if its summer that means that its almost winter and he abandons all hope of happiness. Well you're probably curious as to how this not only affects me but as to how it actually pertains to KFB... well thats the next topic and I wish to continue droning on as the suspense rises... and rises... and... fine I'll tell you :)
Quite simply the moment the cold shows its face my father retreats into the "MAN CAVE" aka our finished basement with the desktop, a 52" plasma, PS3, surround sound, and to finish it off... a fireplace :). Well he loves to sit and play Diablo 2 and consume the desktop while watching football. This would normally have not affected me in the least but my laptop charger died about a month ago and I am going through hell and back to try and get my SECOND replacement charger because the first one I bought was a POS! and it crapped out on me on the second day -_-.... wtf. So I emailed them about it. They knew what was wrong and said they'd send a new one out ASAP... well I'm yet to recieve ANYTHING... I email them and I get nothing... I email them AGAIN and get nothing... this is the point where I get on AMAZON and write out reallllly nasty, yet truthful, reviews for the product at hand.
So if you haven't pieced it together yet, father on Diablo 2 all day means no time on computer to talk with friends and update blog and give out equal support D8>... I am a very sad panda as I will not be the weak link on this team... in fact I seek to make sure we are all equally strong! WE SHALL BE UNBREAKABLE... fuck you superman you ain't got shit on us!
In terms of the diet and I must say that I have been rather successful in punching the devil in the face everytime he tries to tempt me. Last night the fucker didn't even knock.... instead he deviously implanted an idea into my friends mind to try to get me. A fellow co-worker bought the most delicious looking pizza I have ever laid my eyes on (with exception to only one). It was from a newer place in town and he ordered a thin crust pepperoni pizza with garlic breadsticks and their signature parmesan, garlic, creamcheese spread. I've never had Guido's Pizza yet, but I've heard great things and now that I've had a look I understand why. At first I was like NO. Josh was like c'mon Bobby, I bought this for you... indirectly. He bought it for the whole crew last night but I'm one of his favorite co-workers and he was trying to get me to eat the pizza he spent money for. I started reasoning with myself. Well it would be a small slice... and it looks amazing... I really did want to try Guido's before KFB started... Josh did pay for it out of pocket... hmmm... WAIT. I can't say yes! That's right! This is a game, one that I shall win. If I can say no to this then I'll gain like a bajillion levels in the mental strength stat! Lol I didn't really put it that way but its the same concept. I can't say yes to this because then I've lost. All my fretting to say no up to that point would have been for naught and I would be a weaker person because of it. To my satisfaction I never gave in.... though it looked and smelled just amazing. The one exception to the pizza last night was a pizza I had at a real nice place in town called Redwood Lodge. They have their own brewery and everything. Y'know the overpriced nice food. Well I ordered a personal pizza with pesto for the sauce, asiago, parmesan, romano cheese to top it, with roasted marinated tomatoes, basil leaves, and roasted garlic chunks. Oh for the love of god that had to have been the most delicious creation to have every graced my taste buds. It was phenomenal, hands down. If we ever have to do an indulgence in this program then I think it may just have to be that pizza again. I had thought of doing a burger from Red Robin or Ruby Tuesday but looking back those aren't true indulgences... not compared to that amazing bruschetta based pizza.
GO TEAM UNBREAKABLE CHAIN...?!
Dude, I feel your Dad's pain. Fuck winter. I find your Dad's coping mechanism hilarioius. I don't think my Dad's ever played a video game in his life.
ReplyDeleteYou go on upping the level of your mental stength. Soooo tough to say no to the friends. At least all my friends know I'm on a 90 day sobriety kick, so they don't even offer me temptations. Good friends.
Yep every year its the same thing. I'll end up joining him at some point down the line and we will get super geared up and do the hardest shit in the game alone.... we're here to fuck shit up!
ReplyDeleteOH and I forgot to mention that my manager was like, "Just have a piece, god damn you've lost like 35 pounds already you can afford to have a slice." Which is technically true. Its not that I deserve it. I know that story... but after having said no for so long even before KFB and having already lost weight I can "afford" it. I don't deserve it yet! But I could have "afforded" it. :) but don't worry. Even if I can't "afford" it I'd still rather save up my awesome points and spend them on something down the road rather then spendng my awesome points just because I can "afford" it. See what I did there? I linked that to real life and economics! OMG MIND IS BLOWN!
ReplyDeleteGood job bro! One thing I may suggest. If you are ever caught in a predicament such as that again with the pizza, flip a coin. It's not going to make the decision for you, but for the split second that it's in the air, you'll know exactly which side you want to win. Works the same way with rock-paper-scissors and a friend.
