Bingo

they are building a new bingo club on Norwalk where the old home depot used to be. All the migrant workers are still standing around that area and they look pissed, and not because they destroyed the home depot they used to wait in front of, but because they didn't hire them to build the new bingo club.

Mike's Coffee Etiquette

As most of you know, iI work at a coffee shop. I work at It's A Grind pretty much every morning from 5am to whenever. I get the privelage of seeing many different kinds of people and experiencing their personalities. Although this sounds like sugar and rainbows it can be a bit daunting.

I come to see many habits and traits that customers have that are a little less than appealing, especially to someone who is about to make something that will go in your mouth. Here is a not-so-short list of my pet peeves of annoying customers at It's A Grind:

Manchester Orchestra

Awesome awesome awesome... here's a crappy pic

MO did great as expected, and even though Say Anything was the headliner, their sound quality was boo boo. Me and Ryan couldn't tell what was going on half the time with their songs.

Wow, i just realized Manchester Orchestras abbreviation is my initials. weird.


Also i have decided that blogs are better than bulletins, because bulletins my last for a week, but blogs last a lifetime.

Ps: i was curious so I looked up what blog stood for...since i knew vlog was "video log"....turns out it's "web log"....get it? "web log" Psshhh, some lazy bum thought of that....you dont see me turning "underwear" into "derwear."

I think I'll keep web log.

Watching Fuse

While watching Fuse music videos, i've come to the conclusion that no one tries anymore to make music videos.

I'm sure they spent millions and went on location and used the best camera and video effects money could buy, but the writing for the whole video sucks. The sad part is i realized this after watching only TWO videos.

The first video is Seether "Rise Above This"


If you have seen it, or you jus watch it....it is a TOTAL rip off of Simple Plans video for "Untitled"


WATCH IT (embedding disabled)

Someone dies or gets hurt and it effects their whole family.....All Seether('s director) did was change it from a car crash to a suicide. It EVEN involved the same family memebers being airborne.

I understand the singer of seethers brother commited suicide and thats what the song is about, but music videos are starting to lack creative genius.
Which brings me to my next point.....

This has to be the dumbest music video i've ever watched. I couldn't finish watching it, maybeyou can. Plus the verses sound like someone learning guitar, hell i play drums and i can figure that one out. yikes.

what is happening? go watch the video for Guster's "satelite" or something that makes you think like Brand New "Sic Transit..."


well im late to get my laptop fixed.....

Dirty skin

In the past week i've realized there was no valid reason to change my clothes. I didn't go out, i didn't sweat, i didn't move, i didn't do anything pretty much. The only reason i had to change them was going to dinner last night.

It's sad.

Maybe i'll just use shirt in a can.

and the monkeys stole the police car....

Wow wow wow. I was doing my daily routine of grabbing the remote and starting at 340 (HBO) and working my way up. After browsing through movie after movie that i have never even heard of, i saw a familiar title....Jumanji. Click bang boom im watching it, and best thing is it JUST started. I haven't seen it in a while so im very intrigued. So the movie starts and I CANT LOOK AWAY! Its starting to scare me at the magnetism this movie has with my face. Plus, it wasn't like i had nothing to do today, i was actually waiting for a good spot to stop watching so i could pick up some paint i was planning on getting....but that NEVER HAPPENED. I ended up watching until the very end of it at 3:15. and it was AWESOME. Oh man, i want to watch it right now! With Van Pelt and the alligators and the stampede and the old bike and the sneaker! Oh dang and remember the part when little Kirsten Dunst gets shot in the neck with the poisonous needles, MAN WHAT A GOOD MOVIE! thats all. Afterwards i got my paint.

Ouch Glasses

Some people know that while on the recent digital donation tour i broke my glasses. Well not really broke them, but i managed to yank them off my face with a drum stick while in the middle of a song, throwing them into the line of fire of Ryan's hard steps and dance moves. When i got them back after the song the left.....thing....that goes over your ear, was bent straight down forming my glasses into a weird zig zag type design, which i quickly bent back into shape. Well last night while i watched The Whitest Kids You Know for the first time (holy shit hilarious), i fell asleep with my glasses on and woke up at 3am to the sound of my TV. I saw my glasses weren't next to the bed where i always put them. So by instinct i thought that someone broke into my house and stole them along with my TV. Well my TV was still there so that ruled that out. I searched through the covers of my bed to find my pair of glasses slightly bent which is a normal occurrence,

"I'll just bend them back like i do everyday" followed by a quiet snap. My glasses now have the ability to pivot up and down on the left side of my face. At least i can still wear them, they are quite a bit too loose now though. Just don't be surprised if i bust out my Dad's old sunglass strap, you know the one's everyone had in the ninety's.

BALLLLLEERRRR!!!
