What I drink and Why

What I drink. Depends on the setting. I drink pretty much anything. Here's what I prefer.

Beer in any setting. Relaxing, partying, driving, eating, snacking, socialing, dancing, etc. Beer is good anytime and anytime I will drink it.

Scotch - Must be high quality, aged at least 12 years preferably 15. Blends work as well. Single Malt however is my favorite. I have a deep love for Glenlivet. It makes my balls tingle.

Whiskey - Tennessee sipping whiskey as they say. Jack Daniels is my favorite. If I'm out a club or bar with dancing and loud music I usually end up drinking Jack and Cokes. Sometimes I order it like this : "One Jack and Coke please, hold the Coke." Jack and Ginger is a close second.

Vodka - I just started getting involved with Vodka and I have to say, I'm impressed. Good Vodka barely registers a taste which makes it easy to shoot. Especially when cold. Also, not much of a hangover the next day. This is key. Good ol' fashioned Vodka and Cran if I'm feeling feminine. Rare but it's happened once or twice before.

Rum - Good rum, is extremely underated. It's delicious. Taste of caramel. During my travels to Jamaica I was on a steady diet of rum. I never felt better. My personal favorite is from Jamaica, Appleton Estates. And I'm talking dark rum.

Tequilla - Unless in a Margarita, which is acceptable at good Mexican restaurants (on the rocks) I like tequilla from the freezer to shoot. I have a love hate relationship with it. Sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it. Good tequilla is nice though.

Wine - With dinner. Or chillin on a couch surronded by chocolates and flowers. Wine is lovely. When I drink wine I feel like my net worth grows.

Cordials - Grand Marnier. Nice subtle orange liquer. I like Kahula and milk as an after dinner drink while on vacation. Frangelica or Amaretto with coffee or a Sambuca with espresso. I don't normally do after dinner drinks like these but weddings or dinner parties they are a must.

Drink.

Party Block

Block Party tomorrow. Clear the streets let the kids run around all day, cook, drink and be merry. Block parties are awesome. It's just one long day of hanging out. Of course the block party originated in NYC but I hope no matter where you live you get to chill out at one.

That reminds me, remember those corny rides as a kid like The Whip and the Pirate Ship? Man those rides suck but we loved them. Or Himalaya. Yeah let's go around in a circle for 3 minutes. YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can I go on again!!! So easily amused. That's when life was simple.

Mary Jane

Legalize weed. Tax it, earn revenue, control it.
Is Marijauna more harmful than alcohol or cigarettes?

There went the summer. I just failed to get to a clam shack and enjoy some clams. Might still be timem we'll see. I love places like that. Which is why I'm a fan of Ocean City Maryland and the Jersey Shore. We discovered Long Branch, NJ this summer. Nice lil beach thing going on there. I neglect Long Island for some reason. Deservedly so I think.

I just remembered I forget to get fudge from the boardwalk. There is still time!!!!!!

Does Ikea like fucking with their customers or they just think the world was put together with allan keys and compressed wood?

How did they get the Pretzel in the M&M?

Never Forget

Today marks the ninth anniversary of Sept 11, 2001. If you want to check on the progress of the permanent Freedom Tower being erected in place of the gone but not forgotten Twin Towers click here and also here. It will also include a stirring memorial, refelcting pools. Families that had love ones die that day I'm sure will enjoy going there to remember and celebrate their lives.

9 years later and Al Qaeda still remains a threat. The wars in Iraq and Afghanastan are still raging on, more so in Afghanastan than Iraq right now but either way we still have American blood being spilled in our honor. It's easy to say remember 9/11 but daily we all should be remembering the young men and women who are still fighting this war on terror so we can go to work, raise our families, play our games and live our lives.

9/11 will never be erased from my memory, the images are burned in my head along with the smell of destruction and death. I hope one day we never have to worry about dying when going to work. Some extremist blowing up a train or a building or a market. It's not something I spend too much time thinking of nor does it ever stop me from going about my business but it does linger in the back of my mind sometimes. Especially since my work travel has me passing underneath the Trade Center daily.

I'll end on a positive note because even if this day should be remembered for what it was it was also a joyous day for over 10,000 families. So here's to the future!

This video is fucking hilarious and sad.

I'm writing this to my wife.

Dear wife of mine, please stop watching The Depserate Housewives of ___________________ (insert city here). I will not watch sportscenter ever again if you agree to not to watch this shitshow. The show produces people like in the video below who are a hazard to society. They are all talentless, fake and phony people (with the exception of that ugly woman who's husband owns that catering hall). They live a lifestyle with hundreds of thousands of dollars in fake money giving people the wrong idea on how to live life and they are all butter faces. Even their bodies are fake. It's the most ridiculous show ever. Everytime you watch it I want to roll a tank in the living room to destroy the TV. And there is like 8 of them.

Also it spawns shit like this:



Make it stop. If Bravo didn't have Top Chef I'd blow up the headquarters.
