The Daffy

Duck roasted to perfection then pulled & piled high on grilled flatbread with Fontina & melted Maytag Bleu, arugula & cranberries with a squirt of Maple Mayo

from the Spicy Greenbean in Glastonbury. <<< *click n see

thoughts: i'll eat duck any way i can get it, but this was a little weird. and kinda good. kinda reall good.. i'm confused. maple mayo and bleu cheese aren't really close friends in the food world ,in retrospect, and as a matter of fact , they disagree with each other over small shit and squabble until they fist fight. they got along ok while i was eating this thing, but i dunno..... they were mean muggin' each other.... i was nervous....

meet the Brim

meet mike... i call him BRIM. for BRIMLEY... ^ see? that pic up there is of walter brimley, the DIABEEEEEETUS dude. it hangs on my desk. mike sits kinda diagonally in back of me, so when i spin around to talk to him, me in row 2, seat 1.... he in row 3, seat 2... when he's looking @ me and talking , hovering in the background is that pic of him. i find humor in this, you know?

i knew i wanted to share this with you guys, so i walked up to him and took a pic of him with my crappy ass cell phone..... all up in his grill. *see below* other nicknames i have for brim are

• fossil
• silver nuts
• walrus

Oh Timmy Boy... you tubby shit.(pot calling the kettle black,, haha!) Declaring you're "back!" after beating up a dude who can't fight is just silly.

According to sherdog.com ... the "maine-iac" (ok nickname) ate 5 times a day to be as heavy as he could be againd pud. who sucks. anyways, thats a weird training system.

fatass. nice shirt. see what happens when you get knocked the fuck out by ray mercer? you go from harleys to vespas homie. UFC to Moosin, and I'm not even gonna mention how that thing your sitting on has a bigger gas tank than you. Whateverrrrrr.

meet me at ....

LOST-- what the FUCK was that even all about anyways?

ok, so rach and i watched the LOST series finale,, and all i can say is...

*huh?*

im sure rachel understood the series as a whole way better than me... since all i know for sure is that these fuckers were in a plane crash and chilled out on an island that had a smoke monster and polar bears and shit.

were they already dead?

limbo?

*blinkblink-shrug"

im pretty sure alot of what went down was spiritual, but i honestly dont get it.

i loved that show though.

i reminded me of a dream, kinda.

you know, i dont really dream, but when i do i wake up feeling like i felt when this show ended.

like " MAN! that was COOOOOOOOL. what the fuck just happened?"

i think thats what i liked about this show.

how retarded it made me feel.

rachie's gonna sure miss me saying 4-8 times a week "WHAT the hell is going ON?!?!"

great show, alot of unanswered questions, and im cool with it.

you know.... like donkey kong.

ring night tonite @ the dojo. its an "event" , where dudes who train @ ABD pair up, and have matches in jiu jitsu , muay thai, and kick boxing...ive been pumped up for this for DAYS. i get "psycho" steve hanerfeld. a true martial artist. one highly dedicated and intense mofo. steve came to my facebook page and tried to run some , i dunno, GAME on me? i dont know,,,,, i like steve. whatever it takes to motivate yourself i guess.

do your thing brah.

lol.

steves a good dude. hes big. hes strong. hes taller than me. hes younger than me. hes a blackbelt. i respect the shit out of him. hes pushed me many times during belt tests. that being said, i have only known him about a year and a half, and i seriously doubt that he knows how many fights ive been in, and how much FUN i have getting in fights. how walking into that dojo tonite is really nothing more to me than a bar fight without the booze. awww shit. ive fought in front of crowds before.

haha.

whatever, i have my game plan. imma stick to that shit. all i wanna do is show off some of the tools i picked up in that very same dojo, and then,,, im gonna get street. its ALLLLLways worked for me in the past. i'm gonna focus on muay thai, and street.

thai street.

the set up

basically... im going to try to stick to a loose schedule on this page right hurrr.

a loose erratic schedule with really no rhyme or reason,,, kinda the "anti-schedule"..

a plan, that leads me nowhere.

slow.

once a week with a cooking blog... since rach is having boom boom soon, i think i'll be cooking a little more often.

once a week there will be some sort of dojo report. i will keep that name since people already ask me for them.

i will JAM all the MMA news on this page that i find note-worthy,,,

i will get back to sharing badass cocktail recipes here, alot of people enjoyed that in the past... mainly me.

anything funny or stupid ... pow!

i like me some music, i need to see if i can pop videos here... bam!

family and fun, shit you dont know about people you never met.... find it here.

whenever i feel like it.

also, depending on how many peeps get blogs and involved, i will issue challenges and contests ... because i know having a blog can get a little ... "writers - blockey"... and alot of my favorite times in past blog lifes revolved around hi-jinx and tom-foolery.

we all need that shit in our lives, i know i do.

also, if theres any ideas or suggestions as to what you'd like to see here, tell me.

annnnnnnd , finally, i am a notorious blog-jacker, i will straight up gank your stuff if i like it.

and tuck it in here all cozy and stuff, like it was born here.

most of this posting will happen at night. wait, thats a lie.

boldfaced.

blatant boloney.

i need to re-acquaint myself with html, i actually got ok at it, then bailed, and now have NO concept....

whatsoever.

if you post pictures on the internet, and accepted me as a friend in any way shape or form on any social networking site...., i reserve the right to photoshop & poke harmless fun at you, thats the dilly yo.

i will NOT make fun of your children or use photos of them , unless i ask permission, no matter HOW funny they look, or even if they appear to have been made from wood.

i HIGHLY recommend anyone who likes to write or share shit open up a blog here.. and let me know if you did.

facebooks cool, but it also kinda sucks balls. i didnt really fit there. hold the fat jokes, please.

i might dabble in some writing as well, if you can stand the excitement.

*wake up*

one of the toughest things ive learned over the last year and a half of training is checking myself. if you know me, i mean REALLY know me, you already know im a cynical, negative, shit talking mofo who doesnt really like or trust most people. maybe its elements and circumstances that happened as a kid, beyond my control, but excuses are just that, it doesnt even matter anyways .. i am who i am. truth be told, i LIKE to be that way . i dont hold back , i dont care what you think about me, and i dont care if you like me... at ....all.
then, my fat ass hops into the dojo, and im surrounded by people .. and immediately, theres clashes of egos and personalities.
i'm loud.
i'm obnoxious.
i'm borderline tri-polar.
i suck at receiving critcism.

my kids go there, and ... i want the best for them , so of course its imperative that i ... "march to the drum."
and i understand why, and dont disagree with the importance of it....
but i work out in there, and no matter how hard i try, i continue to fall back on my first impressions, and i never forget them. ive said it before, and it will always be this way,, i DONT like you before i LIKE you..... sorry , not really.
i never insult anyone (to their face), and i look at my experience in there as a mental challenge as well as a physical one.

but, the reality is. only maybe 2 or 3 people of 50 or so even have a clue as to what im about.
i dont go in there to make friends, shit, im better at LOSING friends than making them anyways, and again....i'm cool.

but the fact is this, if i am ever disrespected in any way... i dont forget.
im grudgy as fuck, and i will quietly make you nervous around me....
and smile on the inside.

have a great day!

and then, like a bad case of crabs... i'm back.

first off, im not really expecting ... much. alot has changed since i used to blog... ummm, behind my wifes back n stuff. haha.

*huh?*

one of the MAIN things that has changed is ME, and im not getting into that. but, i left blogging (if thats what i even used to do) ,, and joined facebook... re-connected with alot of people from my past some i liked then, some i didnt, but really now, i like everybody... mostly.

*lies*

im still passionate about the same things i always have been...

• great food....
• fantastic cocktails.. (a little less often now, but i STILLLLLLL can be a crazy booze hound if needed)
• my kids (i have almost 4 now, any day... *taps fingers impatiently on desk*)
• my beautiful awesome wife rachel
• things that make me laugh
• mixed martial arts. (you'll see... *whoa*)

i guess thats what this blog is going to be about.

alllll that stuff, crushed into one badass mash-up. i need to get re-acquainted with how to rock this boat, but, when i do,,, youre probably gonna LOVE it.

*more lies*

i kinda was blogging at facebook, but, i had NO WAY of organizing shit there, so while i did some stuff i loved, i didnt try too hard, because i knew i was so busy and shit, that once it left my front page it was basically gone forever, unless you had wayy too much time on your hands and poked around blindly.

i like facebook, but its not for that.

so, you'll see.

thanks mame for stepping up and re-blogging and getting me a little fired up for this, imma do this one right.

*wink*
