Finally hit 220lbs. Phew. My chest has finally developed enough that I'm not embarrassed taking shirtless photos anymore. I'm estimating another 20lbs till I actually start posting shirtless photos.

Here I am last year-ish at 200lbs:



After comparing these pics, I'm a little scared to measure my arms...I think they've gotten smaller. *sigh*

Had a nice little talk with Mr January last night. And now I get to post these photos from Folsom! Hurray! I didn't have time to come up with a scavenger hunt, so I just took photos with bears. Enjoy!




Is it just me, or did I take this guy's photo at Dore Alley?

Waffle and Jockstrap brunch with A-list bears Alex and Todd (right).

Best Folsom brunch. Waffles were fantastic. Made my arm blurry.

Folsom Eve Eve.

After a few hours of roaming the Castro in my wrestling singlet we got dinner at the Bagdad Cafe.

Cottage cheese is the dish of choice after 11pm.



The next day I took Mom for Indian food.

We had a wonderful Saturday together.

Oh, San Francisco. I love you.

Today was the Tighty Whitey Car Wash in the Castro, benefiting the AIDs emergency fund. Just like last year, I volunteered my body for the sake of charity. Nearly four hours of washing cars with underwear-clad pornstars...a sham-wow tucked into my briefs for ass-grinding detail work.

The sacrifices I make for charity It was a ton of fun. We were able to wash a ton of cars before it started to rain. I wish I had taken more photos, but my camera isn't water proof. Hopefully some will surface online where I don't look like such a weirdo!

Edit: More photos of me in the same pose


EDIT EDIT: I was on the poster?! Whaaaaat?!

Sorry for the weeeird photo, but it seems to be the only one of me at the same angle as my large-nosed twin.

Looks like I need to grow out my hair!

I take this pile of stuff twice a day—actual size.

If you follow my twitter, you might have read that I have high cholesterol. The "healthy" range is 0-200 (anything over 180 is "high") and I'm 230 (putting me "at risk"). Totally took me by surprises since I'm (1) obsessively healthy, (2) compulsively active and (3) make twinks jealous with my lithe figure. Turns out it runs in my family. On both sides.

My doctor is giving me 3 months to lower it before he starts me on a barrage of medications to control it. Which means I've become a vegetarian. This is conveniently timed during my cutting phase, otherwise I'd throw a fit because it's impossible to gain weight as a vegetarian.

I thought going vegi would be tough, but it's pretty much eating the food I was raised on: beans, lentils, brown rice, swiss-chard, bok choy, green things, salmon (I'm allowing myself fish because it's an anti-cholesterol food)...it's what my mom cooks all the time. The nostalgia of this diet is comforting and keeps me from missing beef...and lamb...and cheese.


On a lighter note: I went to Flash Dance with my friend Bill tonight. It's an 80's themed dance, so I broke out the short-shorts and the tight neon-metallic shirt and the sweat bands:

Probably my favourite photo of myself ever.

The best part of IBR is Bingo. Hands down. Forget the lame dances and the room parties. It's all about Bingo. Behold:







Oh look! It's Andy from BMB! He didn't try to kill me for hacking his site last year, so I think we're cool enough to take photos together.


Oh man, bears! I'm so shy!

Before you ask:

1. It was underwear night.
2. I might've had a drink.
3. They had a photo booth set up. And I'm officially an exhibitionist, so I couldn't turn it down.

I like them...but sometimes I feel they're too far apart.

EDIT:

Blingee is so tacky, I love it.

EDIT2:

Rare collage of me before eyebrow wax.

For whatever reason, the guy on the right thought I wasn't into bears.

SURPRISE!

I can't wait for the weather to get warm again.

Check it.

Handball is back, internet. And it was amazing.

This is my last post to NoodlesAndBeef.com. I’m going back to LJ because I still can’t figure out a hack that would allow friends-only posts…and OpenID is still one extra step for LJ users to comment.

Not sure what I’m going to do with noodlesandbeef.com. Maybe make it into a personal website? Hmm…

Took Magnus down to Santa Cruz for the first time. Highway 17 drove like a dream. It was wonderful.

Oh man!!! GET READY! It’s a photo dump from my cellphone!

MORE!!!

Found this photo of me (age 5? 6?) at my mom’s this past weekend.

Wow, it starts early, doesn’t it?

Oh, Hairrison. I volunteered for the dunk booth to help raise money for the AIDs emergency fund. While in my jockstrap.

Everyone has to do their part.
