Me and my pals betting dimes on espn extreme games and toshinden. I remember an Xmas day when oldeolder brother was home on leave, and he surprised me with, Xenogears, parasite eve, gran turismo, brave fencer musashi, and Thief for the PC he brought home to me. I was 15 years old and had really been having it rough…

Those fast food tortillas are a bit too doughy for me. And what my wife does is very similar to sopes, which are delicious and get no love. Cats don't know what they're missing.

My friend has a wife like this. She swears her oldest daughter has (clinically diagnosed) leaky gut, and an allergy to GM foods. The 9 year old is not allowed to eat anything. No ice cream or meat or juice, or bread. No beans or cauliflower. No spices of any kind other than salt and pepper. She is fucking insane and…

Flour tortillas can be great for tacos. My wife is Honduran and makes the traditional quarter to half inch thick tortillas. We eat baleades but she tends to make tacos with them using roasted lamb smoked chicken. With cheese, avocado and some mango salsa, or refried red beans smeared in the tortilla...

You can fuck right off Pinkham.

I understand that not everyone lives in California, and in those circumstances Chipotle is better than Taco Bell or Dell Taco, but I live and work in Los Angeles and can get a wonderful Al Pastor burrito with refried red beans, cilantro, amazing cheese, guac and chayote for 3 dollars. I have coworkers that drive the…

Stumptown by Greg Rucka (anything he touches is gold). A badass PI working in Portland, Oregon investigates cases while caring for her autistic brother and dealing with her PTSD from her past military experiences. Just amazing.

I once took a pretty girl on a date to a lovely little Italian restaurant named Columbo’s near Occidental College. I ask her to select any appetizers she desires. Mozzarella sticks are her selection. Now, these are not your chain restaurant sticks of breaded string cheese, these are 1 and a half inch thick sticks of…

I have about half left in a wonderful bottle of Lagavulin 16yr in my office at home. It was a gift from a friend of mine that knew I was a single malt kind of guy. I love it, but it wasn’t my first bottle. I have in my special stash a bottle of Lagavulin 30, inherited by me after my great uncles passing about 9 years…

I work most Holidays (television) and find it increasingly funny when my coworkers, who often have those very same Holidays off, complain that they are not earning Holiday rates for their paid day off while I get double time. We have had multiple meetings to explain this - If you do not work on a holiday, you get paid…

My father never let us keep our participation trophies, but he framed every report card and hanged them in his office. If we won special acknowledgment trophies, like most inspiring or leadership trophies he displayed those. He used to tell us that we earn our grades and special awards, but that as black men we will…

I’ve heard that as well. Maybe it was the fact that we live in Los Angeles. Our caseworker asked so many questions. She asked my wife who my favorite author was. Not my favorite book, my favorite author. She asked about all seven of my siblings, my parents, my career, past relationships. She asked about our sex life.…

I have commented on pictures like this before and will again. I know dudes serving life for murder that dressed just like this. Real gangstas don’t care about dressing the part.

They asked us how we met in detail. They actually asked us separately, which I was told was not normal. We were also asked detailed questions about each others families, and for specific information about our daily lives. Aside from the initial separation, it was very easy. We had so much supporting documentation she…

I love my wives bush, it lets me know I am with a grown woman who doesn’t give a damn about the superficial shit. I think it looks amazingly sexy and it tickles when I spend any time giving her head.

Coors Light? Fuck that, I am too damn old for that bullshit. I worked way too hard to lose this weight and if I want a cheap beer, I am drinking Original Coors for the creamy head or High Life because I don’t give a damn about caloric intake with my beer, I am drinking it because work fucking sucked today and my…

I am 32, and just lost a bunch of weight. I love my wife, we are the best of friends and her radiance illuminated my life during a very, very dark period. She literally saved me.

I sponsored my wife and all we needed were: passport style photos, photos of our time together, marriage certificate, my w-2, letters from her mother, my mother and my closest friend and the application for change of status. It took us a weekend to gather everything.
I have heard of people having a harder time in…

This is how coffee is served in Ethiopia, the birthplace of the beverage. I have family there and watching them gulp it down makes me gag.

and Cholos...don’t forget the Cholos. Which the city council fears this business will draw.
