I've never tried it, but I'd eat this crust:

How can you say you love pizza if you won't even eat the crust?
 
I've had NY style pizza, but never actually any NY pizza because I haven't been to the US yet. My favourite style is Italian. Margherita with buffalo mozzarella is mmmm.

I always forget the English spelling, I only knew it was spelled different because of the Avengers.
Yeah, here in the UK we write it 'Shawarma' (I think). I've seen it written 'shwarma' elsewhere, though.
 
Done. Just a quick pic taken with my bad webcam. Will maybe get a better pick in better conditions at some point. Or I could always reuse an old one lol.
 
Yeah, I've started to notice too and it makes me feel old lol. But yeah, it is all very interesting and surprising to actually speak with industry folks who's been in the industry for so long, come on GAF and communicate. To know these guys are in their 50's though, that's amazing!

Hawaiian Pizza is gross. I said it...

*high five*

I hate Hawaiian Pizza too. Muhahah

I'll fight anyone who thinks they're bad.

Let's fight TAK. Let's do it. I will make you eat my dry/plain Pizza. :P When we hang out in person, I'll purposely order you a pizza with just pepperoni and cheese. THAT WILL SHOW YOU>
 
i want to move to chicago and try there deep dish pizza......oh no are we really starting this topic again

Deep dish is freaking amazing. Though that's not to say that other types of pizza aren't also amazing. Pizza is just awesome, period. Preference for deep dish though.
 
You are one of the best people on here. You are really nice and kind. I respect the hell out of you. I love your posts. And you were really kind to me when I had my cancer. I'll never forget that.

And so to me, it's really nice to see what you look like. Because you look just as amazing as the person you are inside. :) I also know the issues you have been going through, and again, if you ever ever ever need anything, I'm a PM away man. Anything for you. *hugs* :D

I know how hard the struggle with depression and anxiety can be but there really isn't any reason for insecurity. I agree with Azula, you're a cutie! so hang in there man :)
also congrats on succesfully battling your addiction, hope it'll get even better for you

Man thanks for the support, I really don't know how to eloquently express what it means to hear that. I love my fiancee and she tells me nice things, and so does my family. But the way my mind works, I still sometimes go to the negative assumption, which is that people are just being kind to avoid hurt feelings and that my fiancee and family says those things because they love me rather than it necessarily being true. I realize that's a bit insulting to people trying to be really nice to me, but it's hard to fight to feeling ya know? It's been so deeply embedded into my head for so long I still have vestiges of that thought process.

The other issue is because I left behind drugs as well as other habits that were not healthy for my growth as a person, I had to similarly cut out a lot of my old friends from my life. So my circle of real life friends has been greatly reduced as a result of that, and adjusting to that has been difficult. Because before I could be reasonably sure my friends would have a better chance of telling me like it is, but I lost that sort of equilibrium when I had to abandon ship the way I did.

I hope this makes sense. It really feels nice talking about it and saying these things to people that aren't just my fiancee and my family, because it makes me feel like maybe people have noticed my changes and maybe people do think I'm not beyond redemption. Irl people that know of my drug addiction in the past have often judged me quite harshly, so I tend to stop talking about it.

I know it seems like maybe I should be better adjusted than I am, but my 20s were hellish for what I did to myself and the demons I was fighting and so every day does seem like a new dawn. I guess I'm just so glad to be past that part of my life that I find I appreciate everything more. Maybe it's also I'm getting older, but I find I take so much more pleasure in how beautiful life can be. And the counterpoint to that is I also find it hurts me more deeply to read about the tragedies, though I do so because of the causes I'm committed to.

Haha let me stop rambling about myself, I'm a bit over excited to do so because it's been a while before I had a honest heart to heart about these issues with people who weren't the same two or three individuals, and it's nice to hear outside perspectives.


ANYWAY, as an aside, I finally found a newer image with me compared to this avatar which is well over a year old. Do you think this one is better or worse than the current avatar?

We talking Pizza?

Pineapple has no reason to be on a pizza. Go home Pineapple. Go be in a fruit salad or something.

I don't really like crusts. Too dry. It's fine if I have something to dip them in though (like a barbecue sauce, not the garlic and herb stuff that comes with Dominos pizza).

The more meat the better

Fancy crusts are stupid. No I don't want a hot dog to be the crust. No I don't want it cheesy. No I don't want it to be a miniature hamburger for every slice.

Cold pizza is disgusting

This one is better since you have a slight smile working for you, whereas the other has more serious face.

Looking good brother man. I also know the battles associated with drugs and depression. I do have one beef though... Is that a Yankees hat? The coloring of the logo threw me off, I was about to compliment you on your non existent Red Sox Cap :p
 
oh god, i will be 30 this year ... damn, feeling old & stuck in the vice life-wise (bad job, living at parents, etc. )

And it will be 11 years since I joined GAF

I'mma be 30 this year too breh. Doesn't feel so bad considering though. I feel more creative and motivated than ever this year.
 
To be honest, I'm not much of a topping man anyway. I like my plain ol' cheese and tomato pizza.
keeping it nice&simple high five!

well that's just great that you are able to open up about these things now. even if we're just strangers on the internet I know it can help. :) so feel free to share your progress or feelings any time!
as for the avatar I think I like the new one better because I'm a sucker for caps but both are nice :)

I understand your thought process and it makes sense. Because sometimes it feels people are just being nice to be nice. But I read all your posts and I learn so much. I see so much kindness and thought behind them. I never spoke to you prior. But I've always liked your post. I was reading GAF back in 2006.

And you don't know how much your words meant to me. Just because I went into remission, didn't mean that I was over the cancer. I was still dealing with it and struggling to hang on. But your messages and kindness helped me so much, and it was genuine. And because I respect you so much, especially because of that, your words had weight.

I'm not saying nice things just to be nice. I really think you are a wonderful person. Even if you didn't know it, you did so much for me. You had an impact on my life. And so I truly think you look amazing and it matches your good spirit and heart. Thank you so much for everything. Even if your mind sometimes thinks these things aren't true, they are for others. And if other people that have free will and a mind of their own can see it, there must be truth to it.
 
Amir0x, I think they both look good, but I feel a little NY love in the second one soo... That one :>!

Hahah, high five Ayais :D

Looking good brother man. I also know the battles associated with drugs and depression. I do have one beef though... Is that a Yankees hat? The coloring of the logo threw me off, I was about to compliment you on your non existent Red Sox Cap :p

Haha yeah. I'm from Brooklyn, born and raised... so I've been representing the Yankees since I was a baby.

Although I do tend to send certain sports establishments into a tailspin the few times I walked into one with my green Yankees hat and a Celtics Jersey on :P

Goin' with the new pic then. It's recent at least
 
I usually just get pepperoni pizza, but occasionally if I get a Totino's party pizza I'll get the combination or hamburger variety. Those things taste far better than they have good reason to. I'm probably killing myself every time I eat one.
