All the GOOD leftovers get picked off the next day, and the rest of the week is just picking through the scraps. It's worth it because I do make the best goddamn ham anywhere. The secret is in the glaze (Dr. Pepper, anyone?).

I Actually Prefer Ham Over Turkey

Repeat? Slow-motion Kendo!
This may have been in one of the first posts I ever made but it's just too good not to watch again. Watching it in full screen mode is just amazing.
Hmmm, A Lack of Updates!
Not much has been going on. Pretty busy with work and things. Holidays starting to come up and I'm not really looking forward to it. It just means it's that annual time of year for me to spend hours upon hours of time redecorating the house with utterly useless crap (and whatever new stuff my mom buys).
Quick kendo announcement, it looks like next year's Cleveland tournament is scheduled for March 19-21 weekend. Will be fun!

The Natural Body
On the long ride over to work I was listening to a morning radio show that was playing clips from an episode of Oprah where she was interviewing Jenna Jameson, maybe one of the most well known names in porn out there. One of the questions asked of her was the greatest mistake she has ever made in porn and surprisingly her answer was getting her breast done. The porn business is all about physical appearances, and Jenna has had a lot of work done on herself over the years, and she, like a whole bunch of other women, have found it not to be so glamorous in the end. The radio talk show hosts (all guys) agreed when she had told Oprah her answer, that having yourself touched up like that just takes away from the feeling and that woman should just be themselves. And I totally agree with that (in all aspects of life, not just porn).
My opinion on having any kind of work done to your body purely for aesthetics is crazy. This includes things such as breast enlargement, nose jobs, piercings (overly done), and tattoos. The only thing a lot of this stuff accomplishes is to give the world an outside representation of what you're like inside - fake. Let me knock these things out one by one, yeah?
-Breast enlargement. Why? Women, if you're doing this sort of thing because you think men like big breasts and it's your only way of attracting a guy then you're crazy. First of all REAL men don't care about the size of your chest, it doesn't matter. The kind of guys that will judge you on that are probably not the type you'd want to settle down with. Those are superficially men, who judge you by the way you look firsthand and will eagerly jump at the chance of getting with someone else who they think looks better. Maybe a better tactic is to work on your personality? That's who you really are, not just some bags of silicone material tucked inside. I honestly don't see the appeal to fake breasts. They are merely an illusion. Be happy with who you are. All the same stuff can be said about nose jobs. If it isn't necessary then why do it?
-Piercings are a bit different. Some in the ear or nose I'm totally fine with. Those aren't really a huge change to your body, more like small puncture holes. The piercings I'm thinking about are the ones that are way out there on the weird scale, or ones that are overly done. People with a face full of metal, stud through their jaws and eyebrows and lips and cheeks, ears completely hidden by metal rings? No thanks. Then there are those that stretch out the lips or earlobes to ridiculously goofy sizes, creating loops out of the very skin that's unrepairable by non-surgery. That's extreme stuff. That sort of thing only seems to be acceptable by the people who actually do it and are really into that genre of self mutilation piercings. It really scares me what people are willing to do to their bodies sometimes. Oh, and genital piercings are just.......
-Tattoos. That's a huge topic, something that's been around for thousands of years. Tattoos for me are a hit or miss thing. Tattoos on the arm, no real problem with them. Facial tattoos? No. Full body tattoos? Hell no. The tramp stamp? Well, it's called that for a reason and serves as a great identifying marker. Random other spots like the thigh or ankle? Maybe, depending on how and what it is. Tattoos really are a type of art form, where the human body is a canvas, but that just because something is art doesn't make it GOOD art. People get tattoos for all sorts of reasons, most of them I feel are silly. I've never liked the idea that they are great ways to remember someone of something. If you can't remember that thing without the tattoo then was it even that memorable? Then again, some people just like seeing certain things all the time so no better way to do that than tattoo your body.
Tattoos of words written in different languages (especially ones you don't know) are RETARDED. Why does suddenly writing the word "dragon" in Chinese or Japanese suddenly make it worth getting? Because the kanji looks cool? Why not just get it written in English in the first place? At least that way you know what it actually says and aren't one of those stupid Americans who think they are getting "Flying Phoenix Fire" on their back in Cantonese, but in fact are getting tattooed with an ad that says "My dick is small and useless". The other thing about tattoos is that those things are permanent, for life. You can get them removed with special surgery and such, but it still leaves a mark. Choose wisely what you're doing, or if it's something you really want. I'm personally not a fan of tattoos, but I can see their appeal to people. I like the idea that a person can convey their personality or their thoughts and ideas through other means other than just drawing on themselves and having it be right out there just in case you didn't know that he loves his mom, or she likes unicorns galloping on rainbows.
The main point I'm trying to convey is that the natural human body is beautiful in it's natural state. Why people want to alternate, enhance, destroy, and modify it sometimes is beyond me. Sure there are special cases where some types of body altering surgeries are for the better like after having an accident or whatever (breast REDUCTION done to ease bad back pains). Just in general I find the unaltered form of a person more refreshing. It tells you something about a person. Not that they are good or bad, really, just what kind of self-opinion they have or character. Authentic always wins over artificially.

Rules of the (X)
Ok, general public, listen up. There are just some rules and manners that you must follow when being in close proximity to other people in public areas. These types of things may seem like trifles, but not paying attention to them can really put people in foul moods. These are really more rules of etiquette than they are hard, set in stone rules, but still should be followed. Three of those I will mention today are:
1) Elevator entrance. If you are getting onto an elevator please don't crowd right up to the door, anticipating it to open up so you can get right on. This is annoying, especially when there are people already on the elevator waiting to get off. You need to STEP BACK from the doors, check to see if there is anyone on that is trying to get off, and once they do THEN you may get on the elevators. Do not rush onto the elevators only to have those on then have to manuever their way around you. This is the same deal with getting off/on metro cars.
2) Escalator manners. I ride the escalator every time I take the metro. Metro stations in DC can be very packed during peak hours, so that means people are hustling and bustling trying to make their transfers onto the next car before they leave. That means do NOT freaking STAND on the left hand side of the escalator. Keep it clear for people to move up on. If you want to stand on the escalator that fine, but do it on the right hand side. It only takes a single person to cause a huge congested bottleneck on an escalator, and these few second hold ups are usually enough to make people miss the metro. Worst perpetrators of this offense include couples out on a date because they just have to hold hands next to each other, and families with multiple kids because the parents don't have the courtesy to tell their kids to stop monkeying around and keep still on the right hand side. The left hand side, much like a highway, is considered the passing lane.
3) Highway protocol. On the highway if you are in the left hand lane do NOT drive slower than the people on the right, especially if there are people directly behind you. The left hand lane is used for passing other people, it's the lane used for speeding up out and away from slowpokes. If the snails of the road are on the left then people behind them have to start working out the best way to go back and forth from the right then the left just to get out in front of them. If you wish to drive slow then stay in the right hand side, we will just pass you on the left. The worst thing you could do as a slow driver in the left hand lane is to be side by side with another slow driver on a 2-lane highway and driving their speed. This creates a huge road block where none of us behind you can get passed, and we have to wait for one of you to speed up or slow down or pull off. Get out of my lane, grandma.
I believe if everyone in the world abided by these simple rules of manner then the world would be a slightly happier place.

12 of 12 November!
Here is November's 12 of 12. This particular day happened to fall on a workday so I tried to make the best with what I could from my from my ever so exciting work in IT.
8:20 AM - Naturally the first thing I do every morning is check up on all the sites I like to frequent. Had it not been for BU's update I would have forgotten it was November 12 and all these glorious photos would never have come to pass. Thankfully I was reminded and now you get to see these AMAZING 400x300 quality pics.
8:30 AM - A new plan of mine to help fight off office hunger. These assorted nuts and berries mix from Trader Joe's are actually very tasty and good for me. They are so good I tend to scarf down an entire bag at a time, get sick of them, and refuse to eat them again for several months.
9:05 AM - Traffic on I66-E in the run. Rain makes everything worse.
9:43 AM - Arriving at work. The call center looks very impressive from this angle with all those windows and such. I, however, am a basement troll and don't have access to such luxuries such as sunlight and fresh air.
10:43 AM - In true IT spirit I keep my workstation a total mess. What a lot of people fail to realize is that even though things are all over the place I know exactly where everything is. I am a disorganized genius. I can't help it if the system that works for me doesn't appeal to you!
1:18 PM - Very glad I brought in those nuts/berries to snack on. That day they piled so much shit onto my plate I did not have time to take a proper lunch break.
5:34 PM - Time skips by REAL quick when you have so much to do. Four hours eaten up in a heartbeat. This is my secret instant noodle stash at work. If I ever don't feel like going out to eat, or I'm broke, or I want to feel sick to my stomach without really being full I always turn to these.
5:36 PM - These are some of the things that ate up so much of my time Thursday. Sorting through boxes and boxes of junk to find out whether stuff really was junk or not it just part of my glorious life here. It's easy to do, but takes so freaking long and it's mind numbing.
5:40 PM - And I'm out! Walking outside only to see black rainy night like this and knowing you have possibly an hour drive ahead is so depressing.
7:06 PM - Starving when I got home and helped myself to some chili dogs and a quick Alabama sausage and bread sandwich. There's just something magical about the way that sausage taste. It's something my mother orders seasonally and it is just the best sausage in the world. Wrap a piece of bread around it and oh my god...
7:34 PM - Just about all of my DVDs stuffed in a box conveniently ready to be moved for whenever I get a place. Fradams has no internet or TV at his place and was dying for something to watch so I packed the whole thing into my car on the way to pick him up for some sudden rock climbing.
12:07 AM - Technically not a picture from November 12th. After about 2 hours of rock climbing I still found myself not wanting for sleep for a bit after getting home. Sat in bed the rest of the night watching TV.

Just Random Stuff
There are two things I wanted to make comments on today. The first thing is probably just my metrosexual side coming out of the closet but I just had to mention it. I used Nair last night. Yes, the hair removal product Nair, and there's a perfectly reasonable...reason. Over the last couple months I've gotten into the habit of shaving my head clean. It's the cleanest look my head gets and I don't have to worry about brushing and combing and shampoo and all these other bothersome hair upkeep tasks.
The problem with keeping a shaved head is that you need to shave it constantly, 2-3 times a week, as hair grows back rather quickly. Let it grow too much and then a simple razor won't be enough to handle it and I really don't want it to get to that point. So I shave my head with a razor, but that can get messy and taxing, and sometimes I just don't feel like doing it. So that lead me to the thought that I might try something like a hair remover, something to just put on my head and then brush away. Thus the thought of Nair.
Of course I'm not going to just start putting that all over my head without proper testing first. Yesterday I went out and bought some under the cloak of darkness (the bottle was all pretty and pink) and applied a patch of lotion to my right thigh just to see the effects. I would have hated to apply it all to my head only to find out later I'm allergic and it causes skin outbreaks. The first thing I noticed when applying it was that Nair has a god awful smell, like something recently deceased was around you. I used to think people over exaggerated the smell of Nair or that it was just a rumor. No, the stuff is utterly TERRIBLE smelling and I could not wait to get it off me. Wiped it off after a few minutes per instructions and then BOOM!
The hair vanished along with the lotion, leaving a silky smooth unhaired patch of skin on my thigh. I don't think I've ever seen an over the counter item work as well as it said it would. I mean, it did EXACTLY what it said. And the feeling wasn't like freshly shaved skin where you could still feel some hair at an angle. All hair gone, vanished. Exactly what I was looking for. Only problem now was that one of my thighs just has this smooth patch on it surrounded completely by hair (manly hairy thighs). Awkward looking to say the least. Hopefully it will grow back since it was just a test run. As long as I don't start breaking out in hives and stuff I'll probably give it a facial hair test run, then scalp.
Hmmm, the other thing I wanted to mention doesn't really seem as interesting now. Basically, I'm wondering who really buys CD-RWs anymore? I don't understand the concept of them. Why do I need to rewrite my CDs? When you buy blank CDs you buy them in bulk if you want to get the most for your money, at least 50 at a time. And CDs are so cheap people just toss them if they don't burn properly. I can't really think of a situation where I need to go in and erase something and add something else to a CD instead of just burn another. Pretty much all the time when I burn a CD I DON'T want it to change. Music CD, data CD, I'm putting what I want on them at that time and I don't want those files to go anywhere. I guess the only other case would be if I burn something, then want to add additional files maybe? In that scenario I just burn a whole new CD, though, from scratch. It's really not a huge deal and I can't remember the last time myself or anyone has ever needed to use CD-RW over CD-R format.
Look forward to tomorrow's 12 of 12 picture update.

Americans, Soda Fountains of Knowledge
This is a funny clip, showing how little many Americans know about worldly events and historical facts. This video brings me both laughter and sadness to see how a lot of people have turned out. It also makes it very clear why there is so much messed up stuff with this country. Now, I know this isn't representative of the true average American intellect. Like most shows that do these types of public interviews they are only going to show you the clips of the people answering stupidly. Still, it makes you wonder how much the average American really does know.
I'll be honest and say I probably would not be able to answer all of those questions accurately, but the stuff with people putting the pins on the map and not knowing how many sides a triangle has? It's a wonder that World War 4 hasn't already happened (we've already had 3).

Some Things You Should Know
- Do not go 'messing with Sasquatch'. It doesn't matter if you're with your friends, or how much jerkied beef you're stuffing your face with. Do NOT mess with Sasquatch. He is a Sasquatch and he can kill you. Watching those commercials and seeing Sasquatch exact his revenge on the assholes of the world (which is what you're entitled to be after eating beef jerky) just fills me with joy. Good, I'm glad you had your arm ripped off for trying to play a prank on a mythical creature whose mere existence only should have caused you to crap your pants in it's discovery.
- Orcas, commonly known as 'Killer Whales', are in fact NOT whales. They are the largest member of the dolphin family. Don't let their size fool you into thinking they are whales. I mean, how many whales have such a pronounced dorsal fin? I'm not even joking about this, even the very first line on their wikipedia entry says the same thing: "The Killer Whale or Orca (Orcinus orca), or less commonly, Blackfish, is the largest species of the dolphin family, though they are commonly mistaken as a species of whale."
- You know how people will say that money doesn't grow on trees and then you make a snarky quip about it actually growing on trees because it's paper? Stop doing that. Dollar bills aren't paper at all. They are a composed of a combination of both linen and cotton, neither of which comes from trees.
Did I come off too high and mighty Mr. Know-It-All? This is really the only medium I can convey these types of thoughts. When I point this stuff out to people in real life they usually just stare at me and give me that glare that says "Who do you think you are exactly? How dare you correct me...you nerd." But now you are enlightened!

Condo Hunt!
On the hunt again for condos. Looked through a listing my realtor gave me and I'm looking at two specific ones now. These ones are both at much, MUCH cheaper prices so it's going to make the issue of trying to haggle over contract price much easier.
So yeah....this update kinda sucks.
Here's something that doesn't suck.
Black Eyed Peas - Meet Me Halfway music video.
