I feel you ladies

Sunday morning at It's A Grind isn't the most eventful of times. Thus, i usually have my laptop with me or a magazine or some strange thing to do other than work. Well as you can tell i did bring my laptop, but also in another strange turn of events, a semi-harmless prank of someone putting tape on my arm turned into an hour long ordeal of tape waxing the rest of my right arm. As of now i have a patchy quilt of hair holding on for dear life to my raspberry tinted arm.

I now understand what women go through to look good for us men. I know im not getting both my legs or my cooter waxed but i could translate the pain.

Thank you ladies.

oh, and I do plan on having the girls at work finish the job, but just leave it at the right arm exclusively. 

also.....just because i feel the pain doesn't mean i saying girls should stop. no one likes the Cousin It look. haha just kidding....but seriously.

FTSK full length

I just bought Forever The Sickest Kids album "Underdog Alma Mater."

While skimming through the cd i realized a way to save money, just buy one FTSK song from iTunes, and slow it down and speed it up.....and thats the album.

At least Family Guy is on. oh, and i bought the new Jack Johnson, hell yea.

Old man Oncley

I've known for a while that im turning into al old man by the things i wear and how i act.... but today tops.


I've been collecting the US Quarters since they first came out and i am almost completed. Now they came out with those damn Presidential gold dollars and i was collecting them normally until today. The Sunday paper had an article about how the US treasury is releasing a golden dollar holder and if you buy it ($18) they'll send you the 4 golden dollars that are currently released in mint condition for free! So there was a number and a code to give when you call....so i do it.


I get through and after giving all my info she asks if i'd like to stay subscribed to the mint to get the new golden dollars when they come out each month. FUCK! So tantalizing... so after about 2 minutes of "ummms" and "hmmmms" i just give in and i say OK.


Now, like a lonely old man with nothing to do, im subscribed to receive golden dollars every month. Im a sucker for collectables and it's like a drug. So bad yet soooo good.


Maybe when i get the damn thing ill feel better about it.

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.
