PO-TA-TOS..... Boil em, Mash em, stick em inna stew

So I don't usually Diet..... I don't do diets, I dont drink diet, hell.....I don't body build or exercise unless I have to. I am so unfamiliar with the gym I call it James, but recently that is changing. I am not the young adult I once was..... Can't go on extended benders, can't eat acidic foods past 8pm, and can't have a diet which has 0 repercussions anymore. Lately I've been on a roll and eating a roll so my weight and gut have been racking up. Where I once was a nice 145 with a small bit of toned muscle and a slimmer waste (no gut) I have devolved into a cliche dad bod. Needless to say I have been on a semi-serious (well really not so serious) search for a good way to slim down and wind the clocks back. The past month I have increased and regimented and exercise plan and have been doing that with the sole intent of increasing my cardio and losing my gut. I also have been eating better and eating less later in the night. In actuality I am just reverse engineering the factors that led to my dilemma and while it is a slow road I would definitely still meet my target Goal. That's the prologue though, I needed to give a back story so this wouldn't seem like such a left field article. Again I typically am against dieting and body building if it isnt necessary. Fast forward to 4 days ago..... I'm just doing internet surfing like I usually do to decompress after a long work day (apartment maintainance and the general public can take a lot out of you) and I'm watching some Joe Rogan clips on youtube and I see this video:

That's where some gears started churning, and I got excited.... This is exactly the kind of thing I need. So here is my testimonial so far..... (continue to keep reading)

So in that spirit here are a few articles that will hopefully get your goat. so here weeeee go.

1.  How to be badass on a HELLO KITTY drumset

Ok, so this article is in no way a DIY instructional. I'm sorry if you feel I've mislead you. What this article is though is a gateway to the video that is as comical as it is talented. Watch Mike Portnoy kick out the jams on this childish instrument of satan! If you want to read the article you can do so HERE

2. Pit yourself against another 

(computer)

Bewitched .com has a chess game that you can play against a supposed virtual intelligence (not possible at this point in civilian history but I still had to check it out) and it is pretty on point. The 4 games I played (not that that should be any indication of any skill on my part) I lost so maybe you take a stab at it? If you succeed leave a comment below and tell me about it!

I did a VLOG today. tune in if you like wrestling

Today I participated in a video blog for the first time. It was nice. I had fun and got to pay the part of the fool. Collaborating with youtube user TYLERMCD65 I had a good conversation and some witty banter...... Our topic at hand was Wrestling, more specifically- The recent superstar shake-up in the WWE. It was a fun experiment that may breed more to come but I enjoyed myself. I even got to dawn a cowboy hat. If that's your thing check it out below!

Matt Damon would be proud: day 1 of the potato experiment

Today is day 1 of my potato experiment. I am following a modified version of this video. In about 2 months time we should be able to harvest and I have no idea what to expect. I am on this indoor gardening kick and this is all a part of it.

Today I also did another experiment. I recycled my onion for another round (hopefully). If you want an endless onion supply allegedly alls you have to do is grow an onion normally. When it comes time to harvest the onion you have to cut out the bulb

Beneath the onion there is this, the bulb. I read that once you plant it, a new onion will grow. The outer layers you had to cut in order to get to the bulb can be eaten normally after they are properly cured. 

If my memory serves me right......if you take the stalk and plant it you can get green onions. Again though.... time will tell. updates in due time

Another day, another dollar..........oh, and another meme round-up

Big think vids if you wanna digest some knowledge

DIY ARTICLE!!!!!! Hobbit holes and more

1. How To Build A Five Gallon Bucket Hydroelectric Generator

This generator is easy to build and easy to maintain. The way that this 5 gallon bucket hydroelectric generator was constructed was to use common martial that most people could get there hands on. Most of the components used in the generator are readily available just about anywhere in the world. A 5-gallon bucket should be your base and the rest will easily fall into place.

2. Two Uses for Vinegar!!!!! yay

I know, how exciting right? Of all the articles on all the topics I have found the most interesting one! because vinegar has only 2 uses....... (sarcasm)

3.  100-Year-Old Way to Filter Rainwater in a Barrel

A tattered, 4-inch thick, 1909 book I happily secured for $8 in a thrift store reveals, among umpteen-thousand other every-day skills, how to make homemade water filters. The instructions in “Household Discoveries and Mrs. Curtis’s Cookbook” are quite basic as everyone had a rain barrel back then and presumably knew how to clean the water. Now, 104 years later, I am thankful the authors had the foresight to preserve their knowledge for us, and pointed out that rainwater collected in barrels from a roof is a necessity in some locations, but also is best for laundry and “often more wholesome for drinking purposes than hard water.”

Last but never least!

4. The hobbit hole project!

BONUS VIDEO!

Kittens Review Star Wars: a BB-8 tale

I just saw this video posted by one of my friends ans I HADDD to share it. awwwwww

Adorable cats, Star Wars, cute little cardboard back drops........what their not to like? AND.....its doubles as BOTH a review for kittens as well as an adoption promo. I mean c'mon......
unless you're heartless or don't like cats who can't support this!? (at the very least......star wars

Oh satire........ You got me, as the kids these days say, 'Laughing out Loud'

I love satire. I just love comedy in general, you can tell the truth while being funny or at the very least while not being so grizzly about it. I also love how you can use satire to point out the outrageous-ness of things. So with that spirit in mind I have for you a couple of my favorite articles that have circulated their way to me in the last week or two

#1. Gay Teen Worried He Might Be Christian

LOUISVILLE, KY—At first glance, high school senior Lucas Faber, 18, seems like any ordinary gay teen. He's a member of his school's swing choir, enjoys shopping at the mall, and has sex with other males his age. But lately, a growing worry has begun to plague this young gay man. A gnawing feeling that, deep down, he may be a fundamentalist, right-wing Christian. -Link to Article here

hahahahahahahahahahahaha. This article had me rolling, figuratively of course. It's funny to me because people don't think that their worldview isnt as ridiculous from the outside looking in. Oh it is great, like how people think that somebody who is gay is less than a person. Asinine I tell ya.
But for more articles following the theme of satire, please continue reading.

Draw Circuits instantly!!!! (spread the word to help them revolutionize teaching circuitry)

Spread the word today! This little Company sounds like they are an education based company. They aren't trying to revolutionize the world or anything but just make it easier to teach electronics to anybody on ANY surface you can draw on. How cool. IF this catches on who knows, cardboard circuit boards? its possible! I'd highly recommend checking out their website too at circuitscribe.com.
If you can and decided too support their endeavors (donate if you can)

The Ulitmate Debunking tool (well maybe not ultimate but it is a blanket model for sure)

The Skepdick page on FB is toooo spot on for the rational skeptic.

I saw this the other day. Now I've definitely posted Conspiracy Stuff before but I have come a long way since then. I am not saying that conspiracyies don't happen because they legitimately do, but few and far between. I mean how can the NWO keep its operations underwraps for decades when 5 professional people with the backing of a political party (I'm talking about watergate if you cant see where this is going...) can't pull of the theiving of documents in an unsecure building. IT just doesn't seem reasonable. Plausible yes, reasonable.....no. Sandy Hook is the only thing that I can cry foul on since 9/11 although I am sure that with time I'll be able to come to terms with that horrible tragedy instead of creating a narrative that jutifies and/or denies that innocent children were killed. ANYWAYS..... I am getting off topic. I came across this video that poses a very simple question for a lot of conspiracy theories and it involved rich people....... It is quite comical and applicable 

I just......wow....

This is soooooo cliche, yet so accurate. The only thing missing is the 15 Harley Quinns you run into....

Some Costume Updates

Yeah........Shane from the Walking dead is gonna be the Punisher in season 2 of Netflix's hit show 'Daredevil'. Here's a reminder incase you forgot..........

Happy Force Friday all!
