Arrested Devlopment (the show not the band).
“Girl With a Problem” by the Northen Pikes (I’ll listen to this song as average of 4 to 5 times on a given Friday night)
Weed (teh dank)
Video Games (any and all kinds, from Tetris to Halo)
That right there, plus phish, is my life in a nutshell.
The only thing in my life that remotely parallels my love for Phish is my love for my daughter…which obviously is more than my love for Phish, but somehow just as powerful? I dunno, I hate days like today where I’m out of school and she’s not. I can’t wait to see the bus pull up at 2:30!
Another passion of mine lately has been cooking. I’ve never really taken the time to learn how to cook well and properly. That’s not to say I couldn’t make meals that are good and satisfying, but I’ve really been expanding my reportoire lately. Especially since I’m trying to become a much healthier person by eating right and going to the gym. I’m all about finding new ways to prepare the same healthy items so I don’t get bored with my food.
Lately I’ve been obsessed with converting large chunks of my music library to mp3.
Then there’s food. I’m not obsessive about it, I just love it a lot. I do eat salsa and tortilla chips almost nightly. Sometimes I wonder if that’s very bad for me. I tend to stick with favorites when I’ve found foods I like.
I like to drink four or five beers in an evening when I’m drinkin’, and I’m a little bit picky about beer.
There are a few TV shows & movies I’m really into.
The Monkees
The Tick (cartoon series)
Star Wars
The Incredible Hulk (Bixby/Ferrigno)
Video Games I’ll play for too long:
Tetris
Sudoku
Minesweeper
Pacman
Asteroids (Atari 2600)
Nintendo NES - many many games
Sega Pitfall
PS2 Lego Star Wars
Disc Golf
General Neatness
Spicy chicken, have my own recipe cuz run-of-the-mill Buffalo Wings don’t do it.
Other bands:
Beatles
Rush
Yes
^so obsessive about those three that I’m sick of 'em. Same with Phish really, usually I’m in no mood to listen to my own favorite bands.
The Who
Kiss
The Monkees
Van Halen
They Might Be Giants
Joni Mitchell
George Harrison
Prince
Pink Floyd
That’s enough for now. I’m not sure if I like reminding myself of all the ways I focus my energies selfishly.
Oh! I forgot to list coffee.
edit ~ and hey, I love my wife and kids … I don’t think it qualifies as an obsession, but Ollie listed her kid … and so I thought I’d better shove my kids in my post too, lest I feel like a schmuck.
hey B, if i ever run out of money for shoes, can i have a pair of yours?
greetings, fellow member of the KISS ARMY!!!
Oi!
I love that album cover. I sure hope God doesn’t mind. That there’s like, the cornerstone of the satanic KISS theory building. That cover itself I mean. They’re not dancing on it.
Dangerous by the way, dancing on a pile of loose rubble like that. Don’t try it without the special safety boots.
I like working out. I’m a bit obsessed with it really. To the point I injured my shoulder and developed a real problem there… dr. says its arthritis but I don’t really think it is. I broke down my cartilage and bone. So my healthy obsession turned into an unhealthy obsession. And for all my working out I’m no buff biff head, I just like the feeling of exercising all my muscles and I have gotten stronger. I’ve put on about 25lbs of muscle in under 3 years. Now I’m on a maintenance program and need to be careful of that shoulder. I purchasing dumbbells and a simple bench for my home instead of spending money on a gym membership this year.
in reading over this thread, i found that i actually wrote this:
that has to be, unequivocally, the doucheiest thing i’ve ever said. or at least close to it, cuz i’ve said a lot of things. i’ve learned to love my belly.
it’s so soft and white.
pats CJ’s paunch
there, there.
easy fella.
I love going to the gym! My gym is owned by the hospital that I work for and is probably 60% old people. It’s great not to go in and feel self conscious while working out. Been going off and on since last August. I feel a million times better when I go. Can’t do it everyday because I don’t always have somebody to watch my daughter, but I have a plethora of exercise videos I try to make myself do on the days I can’t get away. I have a friend from school who goes with me now. She’s great for making me get off my ass on days I don’t want to and I do the same for her. This week is finals week so we take our study materials with us, set the treadmill on an hour, and get to work mentally and physically. I’ve lost probably 20 pounds in the last year just going sporatically and changing my food intake. My cardiovascular has improved so much just in the last month and a half of going regularly. My resting heart rate has dropped probably 20 to 30 beats per minute! I’m hoping to get the rest of this extra weight off by the summer, and everyday the remainder gets less and less. Did I mention that I love the gym?!
you guys and your “taking care of your bodies” trip. sheesh.
i actually was an avid mountain biker for a long time. i’d ride my ass off every single day. i miss it. i have a stationary within view of my computer chair this very moment, but it’s been a long time and i hate the whole first couple weeks of working out. you know, the period of living hell before you actually start liking it?
i should ride it though. i eat healthy for the most part. aw fuck it. i’m riding it. might as well be ready for when it gets warm out agian.
You managed to continue to post whilst getting on your bike and riding it. I’m impressed.
biking is the best, especially on a sunny autumnal/winter day.
I would consider the sport of golf a non-Phish obsession of mine.
Not disc golf.
REAL golf.
^^^your avatar…flea market?
…montgomery?
it’s just like, it’s just like, a mini mall!
hey-hey!
Fixed. You posted “real golf”. We all make that mistake occasionally.
This one is for Randolph Scott.
So as many of you know i like to post up pics of my favorite intraweb girlie. Some of you know but most here don’t know about Moshzilla!
Originally made known to me on another board i will share with you all the link!
