I diet geeky style

From the DailyPlate website I track my food for keeping my weight (steady, not trying to loose) and today after working out I was given this little note: _ You may eat about 1,337 additional calories today._ That tells me right away that my diet is h4x0r 1337! I was going to do a quick run but decided against it just so I could stay at 1337!

Speechless

Other than the language and video games, it is so so true…

What Geek am I?

 This is a picture someone published online that shows all the different types of geeks. I figured I would quickly look at the image and find, THE NICK. My issue, there is NO NICK. Narrowing down the multitude of options was difficult but I decided on 3. Those are listed below. Gadget Geek — I have every gadget you can imagine. I use them as learning devices in order to become all the more a geek. My tool belt looks exactly like his as well as the backpack. When I looked at this picture I didn’t think what a dork, I started to figure out what gadgets the artist was showing. For the record the geek is wearing: Blackberry, iPod, Candy-bar Cellphone, UMPC, and a GPS Apple Geek — This is a short one, looking around my office lets count the number of Apple products: iPod Shuffle, iPhone, 2×24″ iMac, Apple Extreme Router, Performa 6300, and an AppleTV in the living room. That is 7 devices. Yikes. Linux Geek — I have been using Linux 12 years (way before running Ubuntu was cool) and still use it to this day. I have a poster with Linux kernel code in my office. All devices that are capable of running Linux in my household, do. I get excited when a new kernel comes out and rush out to compile. I read over 150 RSS feeds about Linux and Open Source. I am such a dork as I re-read this. Wow…

Best Man Toast

I want to look back on this with my Brother. Here it is for the world to mirror! —————————————————————————— You both are running around the city getting ready. Dan you are in my bathroom shaving off your peach fuzz and LuLu you are rolling your hair. What you both don’t realize is that it doesn’t matter. What you will remember this day is the feeling of being on the altar together. All the things that have stressed you both out, plates at a dinner, music in a hall, and is everyone taken care of will fade away. Dan what you will remember is the way your wife looked into your eyes as you exchange vows. Lindsey you will remember the warmth of Dan’s hand on yours as he squeezes to reassure you everything is okay. ...

Dead Poetic – Vices Lyrics

I love this song, it is a little hard rock but the lyrics hit me so hard. It is refreshing to hear Christian music that talks about the true struggle. ————— Feeling cold, feeling empty. Set the stage, where you want me. And this crowd right before me doesn’t care that I’m dying. And the audience stands with their eyes fixed on the preconceived version of me. I’m so betrayed by your hopes, but I will not hide myself for your peace of mind. ...
