Football: The summer of selling (out)
MercenaryChef replied to polishgenius's topic in Entertainment
as a yank watching highlights of nufc learning to and playing softball made my fucking day. bruno is a hell of a fielder and jacob murphy fucking rakes. -

spurs. lol.

yup. champions league football coming to newcastle! wilson deserved a hat trick today. he looks so good w isak playing together.

that isak one was superb. i cannot wait to see what he brings to the club if he can stay healthy a full season. big worry is the lack of depth when we are adding a European competition to things. i know the plan is incremental and smart acquisitions of players, but to really compete next season newcastle need a lot more.

all i can say is i love seeing civilians offer tips as they are living the real life. that and learn to enjoy cooking or the food is a chore. you have to enjoy the cooking to enjoy the eating.

will someone sign him? that's the real question.

Top Gun 2: Greatest Cinematic Event of the New Millennium
MercenaryChef replied to Veltigar's topic in Entertainment
i dunno. i saw the preview today when we saw dr. strange. it just didn't convey that cold war homoerotic propaganda which really made the original movie what it was. -
Career Chat V: the Common Ruin of the Contending Classes
MercenaryChef replied to Datepalm's topic in General Chatter
i finally had enough. with the support of my amazing spouse i put in my notice. knowing i was going to do it for a week i first pushed through pay increases for my team. they are in for a rough time with me gone. and for added satisfaction i put my notice in right before i left for a 10 day vacation. i return for just four days and that's it. a friend has helped me get a position at a cool Malaysian restaurant (a cuisine i know so little about) where i will work only 4 days a week. in addition I'm going to push forward on a small project for myself. i feel amazing. -
What are you listening to 25 - Passing Emergency Love
MercenaryChef replied to Lykos's topic in Entertainment
so much mark lanegan. a kid in the 90s in the northwest i pegged (wrongly) for screaming trees to be one of the biggest bands from the scene and let the world know what was what. his subsequent solo/collaboration works were lovely. bubblegum is a favorite album always and forever. his gutter twins album with greg from afghan whigs became an inadvertent soundtrack of the end of my first marriage. he's an artist I've seen several times over the years and always loved. totally bummed as shit for him to be gone. he became so prolific in the last several year and that voice is just so fucking massive and serious. rip. -

so true. i miss being in my early 20s being able to drink most the night, grab a few hours of sleep and go play soccer or go for a run. i don't recover or metabolize like i used to. personally had a pretty rough fall/winter mentally that transferred into physically. ended up drinking too much, eating poorly and not working out. inspired by the spouse working out each day i forced myself back to it. alternative days of high intensity climb rides and endurance rides with a low intensity recovery once a week. went hard in the discipline department and cut out all alcohol and am giving an entirely plant-based diet a go. already seeing results and feeling better. i am someone who needs something to work for. it cannot just be a infinite loop. so i think I'm going to do a charity ride that is 300 miles over three days in May. but because I'm a moron i will ride either fixed gear if my route is all paved or single speed if gravel trails.
