All Hallows Eve.....aka Halloween

Halloween, I don't know. I'm not judging but I think it's silly when adults dress up. But it looks like fun. Costumes are for kids. I know, this opinion sucks. Sorry. Either way here are my favorite halloweens growing up.

Batman, classic.
Spiderman, classic.
Hulk Hogan, was awesome.
Bam Bam from The Flintstones
Mike Meyers, classic.
Hamburglar from McDonalds.
Plastic Man, don't even trip that was bomb.
He-Man, classic.
Thundercat guy with the red hair.
Ninja Turtle, Leonardo.

I was a King once. Because my mother was cheap and just used the costume I already had for the school play.

Garbage. Literally just took a garbage bag and tapped shit to it. It was like the inside of a garbage pail threw up.

and that's all I can remember....

Halloween, a strange "holiday" if you think about it. It's actually just the day before All Saints Day or All Hallows Day. Dating back tho the 16th Century and it really does have to do with something spooky. Commonly its a prayful day which one forms a spiritual bond with the dead. Now it's just a reason to dress up in a slutty outfit and drink your face off. Not that I'm complaining. I wish I had an All Saints Day memory but it was just one more day to go to church and I hated going to church.

Another sports pic that makes my day. This one tops yesterday's photo. I think.

Oh well, shit happens

Well, maybe next year Phillies.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Just a thought

I like taking legendary movie roles from other characters and mashing them into some of my favorite movies. Like could you imagine taking Joe Pesci's My Cousin Vinny character being the character of Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men. Or having Al Pacino character from A Scent of A Woman being Col. Nathan R. Jessup? What a tremendous idea.

Legalize Weed

Do it already, it would rescue the economy by allowing states to tax the plant. States would end up with surpluses. Jobs would be created. I mean think of it. Is Marijauna that bad? Alcohol is leagal and it kills more people than just about anything else. Did you know that the bible says God created marijauna on the third day (granted it was hemp but hemp comes from the Cannibas plant). Cannibas plants have been around for 8000 years people, and legal up until 1906. Which means our fore fathers were smoking that shit everyday.

"Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth.…To you it will be for meat." … And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. (Genesis 1:29-31)

I mean God said it. So let's get it done. It's no different than sitting on your coach drinking your face off. Hypocrites.

Are you voting for this guy?

You know, this guy is right. The rent is too damn high.

Bad music good memories

Remember cheesy R&B music. Like Color Me Badd. Man that shit was awful but awesome. The 90's had it's moments with music. Like bad music that we all loved. Outside of the rap and hip-hop scene (which really started to take OFFFFFF in the 90's) other music was so bad it was good. Sort of like the 80's. Remember trying to impress a girl in school? I remember that shit. Everything seemed so serious then. I'd be chilling with my Walkman, had some tapes on me. Would gift my lil teenage lady a Boyz II Men tape and she's let me up her shirt. Good times.

Tony! Toni! Tone! has done it again. Play that anniversary song they sang for the 3 month anniversary, chick would give you a looseleaf letter with her lipstick on it. Those were the days boy. Little R. Kelly before the kiddie porn or some Jodeci.

Amazing how music triggers these memories.

Space Nuts

Ever get amazed by space? Isn't it fucking nuts. Space is nuts. Read the Wiki page for the International Space Station. That shit is crazy. I wanna fuck in space. Just me and my lady rolling around in the air, locked into to each other with my third orbital arm. Would be cool to pull out and watch semen fly slowly through the air.

I apologize

Don't you think that some 80's sitcoms would make killer band names?

Who's The Boss?
Perfect Strangers
The Wonder Years
A Different World
Boys Will Be Boys
Dear John
Different Strokes
Down To Earth
Full House
Hill Street Blues
Open All Night
Please Stand By
Square Pegs
Silver Spoons
The Baxters
The Facts of Life
Three's a Crowd
Three's Company
Throb
Webster
Working Stiffs

Even today's shows would work, or 90's sitcoms or sitcoms of the 50's, 60's 70's, they all work!

Just Shoot Me
Mad About You
Wings
Home Improvement
Friends
3rd Rock From The Sun
Community
Vampire Diaries
California Dreams
King of Queens
Futurama
Green Acres

Ok I'll stop.

Fallin for Fall

Today I profess my love for the fall season. If you live on the east coast and especially the northeast part of the country (Midwest too) then you know what I'm talking about. Fall is my favorite season of the year. Let me count the ways.

Weather. Today it's 66, sunny, slight breeze. The word is Crisp.
Apples. Apple pie. Baking, in general. Apple cider donuts.
Pumpkin cakess, pie, muffins.
Football. From Thursday to Monday with highlightsm analysis and previews in between.
Oktoberfest beer and other spicy dark brews.
Stews, chili's, pot roast, soups and other baked meats. Hearty food.
Foilage. Let's admit. It's beautiful. Gay or not.
Did I mention football?
Another step closer to Christmas, the most wonderful time of the year.
My wedding anniversary, we both share a love for Fall.
Peanuts and The Great Big Pumpkin.
Those fall smells, like maple pumpkin apple spice candles my wife buys.
Windows open at night. Breeze, cool 50's. Blanket, sleep.

random

You know what I like to do, usually when I take a shit? I like to peruse a catalog or dept. store magazine and pick one thing from each page that I'd like. It's fun. You know another magazine game I play is? I will usually do this with a sports magazine. I'll force myself to pick 25 things that I'd like to have or must have before the magazine pages run out. For instance if there is a nice truck or car on page 5 i'll take it. But you'd be surprised how you might not get to 25 things. Try it.

ok now that you know I'm really retarded go back to your reguarly scheduled internet surfing.

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.

Men, you're welcome.

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?

Keepin it real

I dont have time for this shit.

Coming Soon.

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.

Chillaxin'

You know what's nice? Days off. Days off are nice. I like taking this days off to go to the beach with my family, you know before the summer starts wrapping up, and to just chill. Be a normal person, run errands, take a nap maybe, watch a movie. Eat. Drink at noon. Awesome stuff like that. Being on the grind that shit gets lost. I think now I'll go to Costco and buy a big box of something. Then maybe come home take a long shower, shave my nuts and eat a chicken parm hero. Then watch a movie and take a nap. Sounds good.

Networking then

You know what I was thinking on the way in. As I was watching tourists take video of Ground Zero with their camera phones I was wondering what images what have looked like had that technology been around during that day. Sept 11, 2001 was 9 years ago almost. There weren't any cell phones or smart phones with cameras on them then. And if there were not too many people had them. Also there was no Twitter or Foursquare or Facebook. Imagine how different that day would have been with all that social networking around?

I probably would have recorded what I saw, or maybe my walk across the Brooklyn Bridge en route home. Maybe it's a good thing those "amenities" were not quite born yet. Just a thought.
