flax seeds

i love flax seeds.

they are so crunchy in a not-nutty way. i added some to my peanut butter and jelly sandwich this afternoon for lunch and it was amazing. crunchy in a fun way.

let me tell you about dem der seeds.

they are really high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids...you know, that stuff thats in fish and whatever. they help lower cholesterol levels and help you digest sugars properly (which helps reduce your risk of diabetes). they also may have some prostate-cancer-fighting properties too!

hooray! flax!!

Mikey's birthday

As the title suggests, today is Mikey's birthday.

Somehow I have lost some photos of the two of us, but here's a brief history of our friendship:

















Happy birthday, buddy. These are on me

Mad Man

I have been getting my share of Mad Men lately since I discovered it was on Netflix's instant stream. Since I started watching I knew that there was going to be a blog post about it. Up until this morning I was convinced there would be a blog about my love/hate relationship with Donald Draper. Just when I start liking him he gives me so many reasons to hate him.

I have been on a crash course of Mad Men episodes lately. Which means that I have been suppressing the urge to drink heavily all day long, wear skinny ties and be an extreme male chauvinist. One urge that I haven't been able to keep quiet is the need to brainstorm and conceptualize advertising ideas.

I typically fall asleep with my television on. Most of you already know that. HIYO!!! I kid. I was sprawled out on my bed balancing on that tightrope of dream and awake while the word "protection" was spoken on a rerun of sports center. Then Don Draper took over. I'm in a pitch meeting where my lackeys are talking to me about a new company called Trojan that sells prophylactics... I then came up with this ad for LifeStyles Condoms.

Yea So 200 Is Go

San Diego Comic Con just happened so it got me thinking about cosplay ideas. Cosplay is short for costume play and if you got this far without knowing what Comic Con is then I am not really sure why we are even friends. The first question I get from people who are new to the idea of a comic convention is "are those the things where everyone dresses up" and then I have to explain that most people don't dress up. I give mad props to those who do and do it well.


In the past my idea was always to dress as Dr. Horrible. If you don't know what Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog is then just GTFO. There has just been one problem that has come up. It was clear to me that I need to keep the beard so Dr. Horrible is out. I am not going to be some lame pirate.

Right now this the only idea I got:

Matt would be the one in the red. Joking of course, he doesn't have a tool box.

Oh yeah BTW we got 200 blogs up. Party.

The Beards Have It

Well, the votes are in. Thanks to everyone that voted, Mikey must maintain his beard! And the world is better for it.

But now he must begin his true training...



Unfortunately we missed this year's competition, but at least Mikey now has plenty of time to gain his full beard power. I've been trying to find where next year's competition will be held, but it doesn't look like it's been announced yet...

Personally, I think Mikey would look great with a garibaldi

Thoughts?

To Beard Or Not To Beard?

Over the past four months I have been sporting a beard. I may have spent a month growing it but hey its here now and its pretty rockin'. Since the beard has made it's appearance I have gotten plenty of "you look older" and "I like it" but I have also gotten some awkward smirks and some flat out "I don't like it".

To be honest, I grew it out just to see if I could. To my amazement, I can. It is different but not uncomfortable. I know it is the summer but it hasn't made 1,000 times hotter like I have been told it would. That is temperature wise, ah thank you.

It is time to get the true opinion of people. Vote anonymously and let me know which you prefer. You won't hurt my feelings. I appreciate the honesty. Will anything come of the results? Possibly. Maybe I shave the day voting closes. Maybe I don't.

Lastly, Wednesday is usually the day we post the podcast but apparently this week Mattie, Virginia and I decided to have standards and scrapped the podcast as a form of quality control. I figured I would repost an old video. One of our firsts. Watch or just listen. Just remember VOTE!
