I had a conversation with my mom the other day a little while after I broke my elbow snowboarding. She criticized me for doing reckless things like that and that I shouldn't do things like that. I told her that you need to take risks sometimes to get a great reward. In this case it's the adrenaline rush from bombing down a mountain. Or in my case, uh, bunny slope. Then this weekend I walked down a flight of four stairs in broad daylight. I'm not sure what happened but I totally bit it. For some reason the first thing I thought was "Is my camera OK?" Kind of stupid once I finally saw the total damage on my leg later that day. So back to my original point. I don't know if I'm getting old and my coordination is getting worse or what but I fear that I need to invest in elbow, shin, and knee pads. What the hell, why not ankle pads at this point. Are these the "extreme" activities in my life now that I need to watch out for? Walking down sta...
Bacoloate? Chacon? Whatever you call it, it is one of the rarest forms of enjoyment in the universe. Let's start with the packaging. Standard fare for packaging as far as I'm concerned. Please make notice of the ginormous strip of bacon adorning, no, almost spooning the piece of chocolate. The child of their strange union is waiting inside. Let's see what else is in there: OK, nice silver wrapping. Not quite hermetically sealed but still pretty good. If you can read it, notice the "BACON EXOTIC CANDY BAR" product labelling. Truth be told I got kind of excited when I saw the word "EXOTIC" preceeded by "BACON." The candy bars are little squares: I got tired of taking pictures so I finally dug in to the little sucker. What a treat this was, let me tell you. If you're a fan of sweet and salty products you will enjoy this. If you like chocolates with nuts you might like this as well. Honestly I didn't know what to expect upon digging...
Driving home tonight I was thinking about the fact that men throughout history typically exercise power through physical or direct methods. I'm going to do some gross generalization here but women typically lack the chemistry or physiology to exert their force of will in the manner that men do. This produces some interesting social interactions I've observed. Don't get me wrong. This by no means women are powerless in society. Also throughout history there are famous women (Cleopatra for example) who have risen to the top by no accident. Women have had to learn to get power through alternate means. Means in the form of passive-aggressive and manipulative behavior. I have observed this in various forms throughout my life. It is pretty different in comparison to dealing with my dude friends. Guys tend to be more direct. If there is a disagreement they will fight or whatever then "hug it out, bitch". It is a different story with women sometimes. They like t...
