STUNTS!
Leo Portugal told me that my favorite thing is stunts. I guess in some ways that is true. I grew up watching and idolizing Jackie Chan. I’d go down to the local video store and rent such classics as Rumble in the Bronx and Supercop, and watch as Jackie Chan put his body and his life on the line in the hopes of entertaining his audience. I took up stunts as a hobby. I’d jump out of trees, do flips on the lawn, and do lame jumps over anything about waist height. I am thankful that YouTube videos of guys doing parkour didn’t exist back when I was a kid or I’d be writing this from hell. Or maybe from a hot tub surrounded by YouTube groupies and large piles of cash. Oh well, I still take any chance to do my lame stunts when nobody is looking, and I am fine with that.

In the year 2012, we will download our food from the internet…but here’s where it starts: Scanwiches.com. This blog makes me hungry every time I look at it. As a matter of fact, I was compelled to eat a sandwich minutes after my first visit. The guy behind this tasteful blog scans the crisp cross-section of delicious sandwiches he comes across and shares it with the masses. Scanwiches vary from a classic BLT to a donut-ice cream sandwich. And feast your eyes on the sandwiches sandwiching this article. After viewing Scanwiches, Leo and I were so inspired, we scanned our own!

CHEESE
I don’t do drugs, I rarely drink, and my foot and nose fetishes are under control now. My vices are few. Indulgence, however, still manages to find a place in my life, and it has most recently taken the shape of a block of cheese. I can’t stop buying blocks of asiago cheese with rosemary and olive oil. I don’t even use the cheese creatively. I just stand at the fridge and gnaw until I’ve consumed two days’ caloric intake of edible, fatty pleasure. I jiggle more because of this, but I’m okay with that.
