living the dream

tom's farmer's market catch this morning:
  • onions
  • garlic chives
  • chicken
  • asparagus
  • soap


and now i'm making my first pot of home-roasted coffee!!! i roasted it yesterday after i got home from work. it's an ethiopian city-full city roast (i'll know better which i roasted to when i drink it). it's had its 12 hours to cure and vent and now *fingers crossed* i'm ready to drink!

lol - and "come sail away" by styx just came up on my itunes, it's a great sun-shiny 54 degree morning here in saint paul.

the backside blues

ask any of my friends or family and they'll tell you about my faulty "backside attraction" gene. you see, i frequently think a guy is hot simply by the way he looks from behind... ass, head, shoulders, jeans, hair, etc... the only problem is that 100% of the time when i say someone is cute from behind they are always (really... ALWAYS) quite the opposite when they turn around. it's gotten so predictable that whenever i say someone is cute from behind, whoever is with me usually states "yeah... they're ugly."

so yesterday i was running (yeah, i know! running! ME!) and i came up behind two guys walking, one of which i thought was for sure to be a candidate for "future husband" because he looked SO hot from behind. but then the better side of me kicked in and i realized that he'd be nothing short of a dawg once i passed him. instead of running up behind them and getting a glance i decided to take the fork in the road and head toward the bubblers (which were off... WTF?!?!). as i got to the [off] bubblers, i turned around just in time to see a stunningly gorgeous man staring back at me.

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

FINALLY when i take a lesson from my friends and learn to accept my flaws end up missing a beauty of a man who not only looks great from behing but ALSO looks HOT from the front.... and was staring at me.

*sigh* i'm going to go cry now...

bibles, bitching, boobs, and beef (well, actually chicken)

bibles - my sister's college graduation is today. she has to walk down the aisle with a bible *GAG* a freaking BIBLE? is this first communion? jesus... anyway. sister-v is as grossed-out about this as i am... i believe she's going to walk down, instead, with the ba'hai book of prayer (take THAT thumpers).

bitching - minnesota legislature just turned down the opportunity to show themselves as accepting, loving, and caring humans who care about other humans. outright turning down health benefits to state employees is a terribly sad moment in our state's history. what's even worse is when the dumb-fuck governor boldly states that he'll veto any bill that grants same-sex benefits. really people... get over it, we're human just like you. we want to be happy just like you. we want to love just like you. we want to be physically healthy and alive just like you. you're no better than i am...

boobs - hmmm... nothing on the boob front. i think i put it in the post because it was another 'b' word.

beef (well, actually chicken) - my lovely vegetarian [non]wife and i got caught on camera at the saint paul farmer's market last weekend. apparently we had an appearance on the news and everything. so where was my vegetarian [non]wife and i caught looking at? meat. how appropriate... she doesn't eat it and i can't get enough.

happy may day weekend = )
