A Thread of Righteous Self-Improvement

Javen

The ribs turned out pretty okay considering I was hosting a person who gets crazy heartburn which meant I had to completely gut my rub of anything resembling heat. Cayenne pepper, jalepeno seasoning, it all had to go. Couldn't even put garlic in there or the glaze. The racks could have been better too, I was lazy and didn't bother cutting out any of the fat and I ended up paying for it later on.

Kajusta

No garlic?

Whhaaaaaaaaaat.

i've never liked ribs

oh cool, a big bone with a little bit of meat stuck on it that you have to gnaw off like a dog and then take a shower to get all the sauce off

sweet

that's not how you do ribs

Javen check out Wee Willy bbq sauce. So fucking good.

I think I'll be able to focus on this goal pretty well, since the "get in shape" bit is being taken care of by biking to work. At least, it's being taken care of via cardio. I'll work on arm muscles some other time. 40mi a day on a single speed ain't too bad

40 miles? jesus

and here i'm only doing 4-5 a day D;

Well it wasn't for lack of monetary expenditure
I dropped about $300 for new tires, new helmet, bib shorts (the padding is a godsend), new seat, lights, a back rack, and gloves.

It has paid off

damn

i would ride a bike if i lived somewhere that was less likely to get you killed

scarlet st.

I live in the #1 American city to live in according to some magazine. The problem with that is that we have no defined bike paths leading directly to the city, so I have to take some asinine route into town.

Shazkar Shadowstorm

though one place to ride a bike that would be fun is just riding around central park like i see all these people doing, but i wouldn't want to ride a bike to transport me around here, no no

i havent owned a bike since forever

2 of my friends got internships at microsoft and they bought them bikes, fuckers (they rejected me)

anyway now that i ate that burger i am going to die

honey nut cheerios

I live in like the worst city in ohio.

I'm thinking of moving.

Kajusta

I already gave you an option, Shaz.

So I'm sitting at work on a monday morning, and all of my actions are slowed right down, my brain's not working properly and everything's too loud

this is due to me literally getting zero sleep last night

but on the plus side, I got laid!

I'm not sure how to feel about my current situation

when I get out of college I want to live in chicago

this in no way lines up with my career goals or any other plans

I just fucking love that city

woop woop!

So give us details pipe.

Preferably detailed photographs.

Quoth

you know, as a person who lived in a city that doesn't line up with career goals, i can't say i would recommend it

in fact, i should have moved to LA five years ago but i didn't want to leave miami

i am kicking myself right in the cooter for being so dumb

so don't be dumb, is what i'm saying

that said, how can chicago not have the job you are looking for, it is effing huge

zimfan

yeah Pipe

you can't just tease us like that

we need info

Shazkar Shadowstorm

i dunno where i'd like to live post college

just preferably one of the 2 coasts or chicago
the rest of the country, i will pass on

speaking of self-improvement, i was thinking, why did i recently start finding one of my friends a lot more attractive, and thought it through, and she really upgraded herself
in terms of buying super nice clothes, going from athletic to super athletic in shape, getting the eyebrows done (what a difference eyebrows make)
1) man i missed out
2) i want to upgrade myself like that

upgraaaaaade

well the big dream is to someday work at pixar

I won't say "that will never happen" but since it IS a distinct improbability

yes I could do arts and animation in chicago

Meissnerd

im trying not to bite my nails so much

Grey Ghost

I ain't got a clue what I wanna do or where I wanna go after college

I haven't seen enough of the States to determine what city I really want to live in

Currently, neither the city where I live nor the one where I go to school really feel at all like home to me

Shazkar Shadowstorm

i dont like LA, all that driving around, boo

My brother-in-law works for disney, designing rides based off the pixar films. If your wrist hurts like you were jacking for hours at disney it is because of his twisted sense of humor
