Favorite part of MangoCon 2016?
Meeting everyone and getting to put faces to handles.
Least favorite part: being abruptly woken up at 3 a.m. with a camera in my face and a room full of people.

climbs out of rabbit hole
You left me there, man. You didn't even tell me not to breathe... and I got trapped... trapped in an alien world for thirteen yeras... But I'm not mad. No, I have this great third arm now.
Congratulations on your new appendage.

Thanks for coming out, @colocationamerica !
@ChrisL -- you guys should totally broadcast the Please-Don't-Sue-Us Jenga game challenges!
I can bring a GoPro to help document this epic event.
360 degree cam! Player cam! The possibilities are endless!

I drink so little soda that the iPhone corrected it to something else.
Probably because the phone is smarter than you and knows it's called "pop".
Team Pop 2020.
All about that new A Tribe Called Quest album, "We got it from Here... Thank You 4 Your service"
It's just...amazing. Andre 3000, Kendrick Lamar, and Busta Rhymes feature.

I've heard some good things, and I plan to pick it up soon.... even with Kendrick Lamar on there ("meh" doesn't even begin to describe my opinion of him...)
pours one out for Fife Dawg....
What's wrong with Kendrick?
Fife brings the heat on this album. So great to hear them together again.
He bores the shit out of me. He's not bad, I just don't think he's that good either. Give me Deltron, Talib, Mos Def, or anyone....
Hmmm, interesting, especially given the likes of Talib and Mos, who are very much in the same vein as Kendrick. I'd say in terms of rappers TODAY, he's easily #1. Not sure he has the discography to reach that top tier yet, but he's certainly on his way.
Something about his style just un-excites me, and I'm not sure why. But to me, Del is the gold standard by which all rappers shall be measured, and few even get close to his verbal accomplishments.
Del's a wordsmith. Love the pure lyricists.

Hey, @ChrisL , ever listen to Gift of Gab or Lyrics Born? They were around a couple of years back, but damn, they're both great. And if you like spoken word stuff at all, check out Scroobius Pip, he's a white British dude, his shit's on point, both with and without beats.
I haven't, but now they're on my To Do list. Thanks!

Gift of Gab w/ Del and Brother Ali....
On a semi-cold day in LA, I'm now warm due to the heat that just came out of my speakers.
My favorite Kendrick:
I fully implore people to at least check out the "Black Friday Craziness" at least once. It's a wonderful social experiment and amazing people-watching.
I once saw a dude SPRINT across a huge parking lot to get a deal on metal chains at Home Depot that nobody else was waiting to get.
Also saw a tug of war over BOGO $3 hand towels.

- Start working out and becoming more active. I'm not going out, getting a gym membership for an entire year and only using it for a day. Just thinking about starting off with some walking/jogging/running and some aerobics to burn the fat off. Not so much on building muscle yet as to lose the weight.
Hi, "Fitness Guy", here....weight training will burn a ton of fat. You don't have lift like you're trying to compete in a strongman or enter a bodybuilding contest, but even moderate weight training is far better than standard aerobics for burning fat.
Couple a moderate weight training program with High Intensity Interval Training in cardio, and you'll lose a ton of fat.
HIIT = jog for 1 minute, sprint for 30 seconds, jog for 1 minute, sprint for 30...repeat for 20 mins.
Good luck!

If you're not inclined to buy a gym membership as you said, go buy a kettlebell and do it at your home. Russian swings, cleans, press squats and more are a great way to exercise.
Turkish Get-Ups will make you hate life.

Peanut Butter Pizookie restores my faith in humanity. Happy birthday!
I've been eating a lot of donuts lately. Somebody stop me, please.
@thanksajdotcom I really need to buy a sword.
@wirestyle22 said in Random Thread - Anything Goes:
@ChrisL No one in IT should ever have access to weapons
Too late. I took karate when I was 12. I'm practically a walking weapon.
@Dashrender if by one class you mean "certified purple belt" then yes.
Also, my sensei had a glass eye, so I'm practically a ninja.
I made some enchiladas this past week. They've been good!
Next time, I need to get more mole, though, so I can throw the tortillas in there before wrapping them.
@RojoLoco It's coming man. Delivery is a little slow today.
About to head to San Diego for the weekend. I tolerate the 3+ hours of traffic for the nice views.
