Recently secured a spot on my "needs to die list"
What a creature
friend profile #2 chris hoxworth aka babyhox aka purple snoop
As one of my oldest and closest friends babyhox and i have remained best friends since 3rd grade in wenatchee Washington at Washington elementary. I think thats about 18 years at this point. Hox is a fun loving charismatic guy that anyone who meets him instantly loves. Point and case: i moved away from wenatchee to go to seattle for fourth grade. all through middle school and high school we would meet up every summer for lake chelan and every winter for a trip to whistler. Snowboarding and skateboarding always being the glue that allowed our relationship to continue. after high school i invited him to move to seattle and live with me and some friends. Oh the nickel sickel was probably one of the best houses i have ever lived in. We had at least 15 locals who didnt live there but never went home folks like , huffman(who later did move in and did a damn nice job keeping the front lawn in check), rob eramia, chad berlin, scot suyama, dornfeld, errol, mackintosh, s man, tobias, scot critenin, hoku, and many more. All of these people felt like they had known hox forever the same way i did.
me and hox have been through so many different things together its crazy to look back on all of it. chromies, hood ornaments, tent shooting, little cabin, jacking everything from the state park, snowboarding behind cars, driving the blazer through snowy soccer fields with chad and yankee passed out, wake boarding behind the putt, tape ball braking that window and having to go apologize, working at the state park store, erin, bb guns,the ball game,nanan and dedas basement lounge area, rollin that tiny pick up with the official yellow light through the park, boosting madness, double bounce trampoline, full powder days at blackcomb, and too many other things to remember. I would not trade these parts of growing up for anything in the world. With such a great past its hard not to be excited about the next 18 years.

Food...
Recently, people that i haven't seen for a while have been calling me fat. A wise man once told me that "eating healthy, exercising, not smoking and drinking don't actually make you live longer it just feels like you live longer." He was commenting on the fact that life should be enjoyed. Time flies when your having fun. Maybe this little nugget of wisdom passed from my uncle Peter has played a part in my current rotund physique . Oh well... lets eat
Shabu-Shabu: cook the food in boiling soup broth.

Welcome to McDonald's
Rice buns with deep fried shredded pork. McDonalds caters to tastes around the world. check it out. When trying to explain the low cost of living here in taiwan I use mcdonalds as an example. Being that mcdonalds is a constant around the world its easy to compare. Your normal big mac meal here in taiwan is about $3.00us, where as in the states i remember it being about $5. The minimum wage here is also around $3.00us. As an english teacher i make at least six times the minimum wage. So for me it seems like a good deal but to your average taiwanese person its not. Even though its cheap i have no interest in this rice monstrosity.
Move over GHB...
there's a new date rape drug in town. "Scopolamine has the ability to render a person incapable of exercising their free will while remaining completely coherent. For example, if I drugged you with Scopolamine, I could ask you to give me all the cash in your bank account and request that you help me remove all the valuables from your apartment, and you’d be cool with it. The next day, you won’t remember a thing." check out this short documentary about it.
