Maki's Two Cents (part 5)

Mr. Star,

What are your thoughts on the topic of primal living, i.e., trying to follow a lifestyle that is "in line" with our ancestors, be it in diet (avoiding processed foods completely, foods not friendly to the human digestive tract, etc.), sleeping habits (sleeping pattern to coincide with the sun), or walking (barefoot or with minimalist shoes)? Is this nothing more than an attempt by people to be eccentric and eat half pounds of bacon in one sitting?

We all go through phases. Especially in the name of getting laid. If she gets off on me clubbing her over the head caveman style, then I'm game as long as we get to shower and shave afterwards. My two cents :)
 
Maki:

What should I make for dinner tomorrow?

Also, is it true that only mustard and NOT ketchup should be slathered on a hot dog?
Anxiously awaiting your culinary response.
Dave

You should BBQ a steak. Porterhouse or T-bone. Use a rub with salt, pepper, and finely chopped garlic. Serve it with white rice, corn and a salad.

The only thing you should slather on your hot dog is bacon. Mustard and ketchup are optional. My two cents. :)
 
So, how are you liking the double bass?

It's pretty sweet. It's actually a 3/4 bass or was it a 1/2 bass, either or I dig it. It's forced me to be more effecient in the way I approach playing. The transfer to my normal electric bass has been nice too. A lot of my basslines incorporate open strings now. I've been using old ska songs to practice on it. It's also helped me ear a lot. My two cents. :)
 


Your thoughts? (Butthole Surfers content)


Loved it. Thanks. I've seen BS a few times. This little performance reminds me of the chaos I witnessed in Tijuana at a little place called Iguanas. The show was crazy complete with sex on stage with some chick, and punks passing brown bags of sniffing glue. I was 15 at the time. I think I was either scarred for life, or became a man that night. Not entirely sure. My two cents. :)
 
Im somehow overweight, beer belly style
How can i compensate to get chicks in college (asian perhaps) I'm sadly not the swimmer dude that will do a hat trick on the first week.

Make chicks laugh. But be straightforward about your intention if they try to put you in the friend zone. If you get put into the friend zone then remove your attention from them. It's a numbers game. If you don't score with one chick move onto the next. My two cents. :)
