787 First Delivery

Let me get serious for a little bit.

Today marks the day when Boeing delivers our first 787 to our Japanese homies, ANA. This is monumental moment for Boeing. I have no doubt that this very plane right here will single-handedly change the aviation industry. It is the definition of aircraft excellence.

This is also a monumental moment, for myself. I have personally worked on this plane for more than a year. I have directly impacted the configuration of this plane. This is one of the moments during my career as an engineer where I have come to a realization -- that this is why I'm an engineer. This is the impact I can create. I am a part of this product.

Damn.

Cheat Day Documentation Vol. 1 3SEP2011

Alright ya'll. This is the first installation of me documenting all the crap (read: actually good tasting food) that I eat on my cheat days!

Let me explain some things -- not sure if you are aware, but I've embarked on a journey to chisel the mound of hard pillows that is Arthur. The result of this journey, we may never know, but the goal is 'mad aesthetics brah'. You jelly brah? You mad Smucker's brah? Brah, brah?

Anyway, the reason I have cheat days is for my own sanity -- I eat VERY clean throughout the week. Rarely no candy or 'sweets', no alcohol. Straight H20 (that's nerd for water), protein drank (that's meathead for water), coffee (that's Seattle for water), and weights. Saturday though, is when I worship the food gods and the dam breaks -- I eat anything I want.

Copious amounts.

No counting calories.

I could drink a whole keg if I wanted to. I could eat my puppie's doo doo if I wanted to. I could eat a planet. You get the idea.

ON TO THE FIRST DAY!

Breakfast

Healthy meal. Egg whites + 1 egg + spinach + black beans +  spinach + pico de gallo + protein shake + a lot of water. No picure here. Boring boring. The reason why I eat a clean breakfast is because I have to start my metabolism correctly. This is key for cheat days.

Lunch

Tom Douglas' Serious Pie
Beet and peach salad with some bacon in it, some nuts in it, and some oil on it. I swear it sounded way better when the waitress explained it. This was really good. Very clean tasting and was an interesting blend of tastes and textures.

Their potato pizza. This was pretty godlike. The crust was amazingly light and had the right amount of crisp and oil. Doesn't hurt that it had plenty of potatoes on it, which is one of my favorite foods ever. The cheese was something fancy sounding -- good but I wish it was more melted. One thing I kind of wanted on this pizza though was actual sauce! None to be found unless they used like invisible tasteless pizza sauce, sneaky Tom Douglas.

Dinner

Beecher's Handmade Cheese

The Mac N' Cheese doesn't need an explanation -- it is super piff. That cup was empty like .0005 seconds after I took the picture. It's a little bit better than Kraft and Velveeta (lol).

The Mac N' Cheese set the bar a bit high for the Deougeoness (crap I don't know how to spell it and I don't want to look it up, if you have a problem... go smell something bad) crab and cheese sandwich. The bread was kinda hard and it had some capers in it. To be honest, I don't mind the capers but the crab to bread ratio wasn't worth the scrilla.

Dessert

Yogurtland
Nothing new here -- we always goto Yogurtland. I can't really tell exactly what I got from the picture, but I usually get pistachio (piffstachio) and taro swirl with a smattering of another random 3rd flavor. I usually put Heath, mochi, strawberries, graham cracker, and some small nuts (I think I went with almond this time). Shoutouts to the homie Chococat.

Conclusion


It was a fun cheat day. Some things worth mentioning is that it was a super nice day out in Seattle -- not alot of things can beat a sunny Seattle day downtown. Some things not worth mentioning but I'ma say it anyway is that we drank coffee during the day and plenty of water. It helps my metabolism.

I know you may say, "you are wasting all your hard work by eating all this stuff!" I will respectfully say your wrong -- I look at my body everyday *pause* and progress is still happening. The concept behind this is I cheat to 'shock' my metabolism and prevent it from switching to a lower gear from processing clean food throughout the whole week. Plus I work very hard in the gym. I will save your eyes from pictures of my body.

This cheat day though, solid -- 4/5 overall.

The Word 'Moist'

No female I know likes the word 'moist'.

NONE.

Emotions range from indifferent, cringe, to vomit.

OK not vomit but I have gotten no positive reviews on the word 'moist'. I think it's Yelp rating right now would be 1 star.

I don't know why, but if all 123123 females that read this blog (minus 123121), could chime in and tell me why... that would be great. Like, my guess is that they are reminded of their private parts and maybe that invokes a gag reflex (I'm not surprised, OoOoOO ZING!). WHO KNOWS?!

Anyway, that's my random thought for now. We just got a new doggie named Nimo and he's a brat and wants attention so I'm going to go bub-bye now before he poops and pees everywhere and rips all my shoes in half.

I've thrown in a picture of me and the little booger.

I've also made will make a poll on the right so you all can chime in on how you feel about the word 'moist'. In the mean time, I will be using the word 'moist' anytime I can -- this post was MOIST!

some sort of protein, veggies, water/milk

lol now that i type it out, it kinda weird how it doesnt really deviate. but i like what im eating and think it tastes good so meh. i drink hella water/tea throughout the day too

i will take one day on the weekend and not care whatsoever what i eat. i can eat whatever i want, literally. ive looked at myself before and after the cheat day and it all subsides on monday, perhaps even looking better *pause*. this day is basically for me to get all the cravings out and also shock my body so my metabolism doesnt 'downshift' and get lazy. to be honest, its actually really hard to cram all that junk that i wanna eat through my body because i get full :( but i really really really look forward to this day haha

ive been doing this for about 1-2 months now and im happy with the results. since i started way back i was like 225, now im at a stout 185 -- ive gone as low as 175 but ive been lifting and bumped back up. i cant go by the numbers much now and just have to go by aesthetics.

im not yoked or chiseled by all means, but im working on it. pretty much my legs are tree trunks ;[

I WILL SHOW THE WORLD TRUE POWER!!!!!!!

lol syke i just wanted to sound like an anime nomsain. did it work?????????

One of my favorite quotes

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

Theodore Roosevelt

High School Letter Breakup

Summary:
He does not want to goto an event with Asusna. He wants to go with another female because she...

• ...is older
• ... has a supple rear and voluptuous breasts (see: "tet tet's" and "that a$5")
• ...will let him have sex with her on his birthday
• ....is a crip. 

Umm....

Bobby Flay...

...is a douche.

How you gonna let people think they are hosting a show where they showcase their BEST recipe, then crush their dreams by challenging them, cook the SAME dish the "B FLAY WAY", and quite possibly embarrass them in a showdown in front of ALL their homies?

I mean, dude is a decorated chef and he's gonna pick on little peons of the food game?

This guy has won Emmy's for his cooking show, EMMY'S, and he's gonna pick on cream cheese hot dog truck outside of the Shell station on the corner of Broadway and Pike?

I can picture it now...

Hey Carlos, that's a great hotdog you got there... but here's MY take on the hotdog!

What I've prepared for you all today is a chorizo sausage with roasted red peppers and onions on a modified ciabatta bun, all topped off with a chipotle aoili. All resting on bed of blue maize tortilla chips.

...the hell outta here son.

I'm surprised nobody on the show hasn't gave him a cold duff to the chin yet.

What a douche.

Sunglasses

I feel like a douchebag when I wear sunglasses.

I don't know how to explain it, it's like whenever I have them on... I feel like people perceive me as trying to be 'cool' -- like I have a shield up. I only have one pair of Ray-Ban aviators and I barely wear them. I wanted to buy some Wayfarers, but they ended up being too small for my head (I have a big head, pause) and I figured that I wouldn't wear them that much anyway. Maybe?

Arghhh, is this normal? Or do I just needa get slapped real quick?

Wow, this was senseless drivel. I'm going to press 'Publish Post' anyway because I spent time writing this.

I'm at a loss for words...

230+ dollars worth of groceries... for 6 dollars. You kidding me?

Hey you! What song are you listening to?

Brought a smile to my face, esp. the Lil Wayne - Lollipop dude -- the way he said it all matter-of-factly and kept it moving.

Plus I thought it was cool to see a whole range of people being asked the question, the diversity was cool to see. I found that the songs they were listening to were a real authentic expression of themselves. It had to be real because of the way the dude was asking them off-cuff.

C'mon son...

...you the buffest dude out in the league and a swipe at the ball turns you into the next Denzel Washington aka best black actor. Might as well give you an academy award.. shake my damn head.

Random Thoughts: Squeezits, Caprisuns, Fruitcups, etc.

Ya'll remember these food items when you were young?

Get all excited to get your grubby little mitts on em right after you've been playing at recess or smacking kids at kickball or grabbing your balls or some shit, go to open it all fast, and BOOM all of it squirts everywhere?

That's some bullshit.

You know the makers of Squeezits were sitting in the Squeezit factory, chillin' by the Squeezit spout with an empty bottle like, 'Yeah I'ma fk up a kids white tee some day.. But I don't give a shit!!' Then goes and fills that bottle right up to the top.

Man screw you!!

Same goes for Caprisuns. You wanna go and put the straw in the hole *pause* without covering the end with your thumb? Your face getting squirted on word to Peter North vs. Nautica Thorn. *pause* Got Mountain Cooler all up in your nostrils and shit.

Damn.

Link to question

I mean, if you gotta ask questions like that, you probably ain't ready for that smash-smizzle-ping-pow nomsain (know what I'm saying)? You ain't ready for that swag-splash-big-bash nomsain (know what I'm saying)?. You ain't ready for that sling-slang-bing-bang nomsain (know what I'm saying)?

One day though, you just gon wake up and be like..

But for now, you ain't ready... nomsain (know what I'm saying)?

It is your lucky day!

I have put together an educational segment to enlighten the masses on yet another awkward social moment -- the hoverhand!

Due to the content being heavily populated with pictures, I have chosen to choose a different medium for this presentation -- a 15-page Google slideshow.
