5chw4r7z:: the ethos of downtown Cincinnati

Parker Flats Friday

My little corner of the world.
I came out and sat down as the Google van got to the end of McFarland.
If I would have been quicker I may have been in this Google street view.

do we still need cameras?

or is the cellphone camera good enough?
crazy what my iPhone will do now
but the real benefit is the instant feed back when people like your photos on flickr and instagram.
between that and watching what everyone else is doing you see what works and what doesn't and hopefully your pictures get better along the way.
or you don't care and your pictures suck forever, but there's a certain charm in that too
i'm not a hater

13

Remember when you were 13? Everyone has that one favorite dish that they remember exactly how it tasted. Heck, you might even remember how it felt to chew, and the how it smelt coming out of the oven. You don't really get to chose what it is, but it always brings back a flood of memories.

For me, its these guys. A hotdog chopped up on an English muffin and slid under the broiler.
Now I'm not going to claim this is gourmet or anything, hell, the way things go maybe it is, but it brings back all those memories when I think about and cook it once every couple years.
So, what does it for you?

I'm Feelin rough I'm Feelin raw I'm in the prime of my life

If I had the money this could easily turn into a weekly ritual for me, a shave with a straight razor. Angelo Salzano used to be in Hyde Park but moved downtown so I just had a short walk there Friday morning. A walk that couldn't have felt much different than Skywalker's foray out in Hoth a little late in the day.
But the series of hot towels and applications of different lotions to the face had me forgetting that quick. Ever have a shave with a straight razor before? You can almost feel every individual hair popping off your face. Its an intense feeling. And I stifle a laugh when Angelo grabs my nose so he can shave up close. I imagine Bugs Bunny in his rendition of the Barber of Seville.
A shave like that just sets the tone for the whole day. The best start imaginable to a birthday.
A day I'm going to spend floaking. maybe it won't be the most incredible day ever, but it'll beat the heck out of Season 4 of Lost.

A celebration isn't complete without a cigar to mark the occasion, I have a gift card for Strauss floating around thanks to Mojojacob and MandiraJ and snatched up a Punch. Can't go wrong there.

Funny story, Zach and Steven from Fusian always call me Mr. 5chw4r7z, I always think of Alec Baldwin and want to laugh and tell them, no no please, just call me Mr. 5chw4r7z.

Sitting in Lackman someone comes in and orders three Yuenglings, you should have seen the constipated look on the bartenders face, boy did he look bitter. Well they pay the bills just the same as the other beers. Then talking to Doug he tells me he was in for a beer the other night when someone asks for any beer that "tastes like Bud Light".
Don't even know how to respond to that, has that guy not watched any ironic beer commercials lately.

This is what 140 pizzas a night looks like

Wagyu meatballs. I can die and go to heaven now

The cool thing is, I'm still kicking. Who would of guessed?
And as long as i can do a pushup for every year old I am I'm still putting up a fight.

WTF Men's Health

why you should read fine print on the internet

I was going to log into Men's Health with my twitter account

but I need to grant them authorization to

follow new people

post tweets from my timeline

CHANGE MY PROFILE???

come on!

maybe its boiler plate and they're covering all the bases

maybe they should hire a programmer

there has to be a better way to do it than this Men's Health

make it easier and safe for us to be engaged

not a dangerous twitter threatening exercise

br00mball? no, its d00mball!!

I'm enlisting Jon Gruden to edit all my broomball posts this year so keep in mind, imagine Jon's voice when reading the post.

I gotta tell ya something there’s something special about broomball night on Fountain Square in CIN-si-NATI!
You wanna talk about gutsy broomball players named Ken Burns and the first one you think of is the gutsy broomball player for the Little Kings and Queens. What a competitor! Whenever there's crunch time, Ken Burns takes a big bite out of it. he scored two goals, you know why? He’s a fighter, he’s always hungry. Ken Burns is the athlete of the family, that's for sure.
I want to call him the Energizer Bunny because he never stopped goin'! I've gotta tell ya', this guy's broomball mind is sharp as a tack.
