Bartenders Job Is To Serve Drinks

Am I right?  Customers gives you an order and you give them what ever drink they want.  Seems like the bartenders I work with are fucking know it all and want to change everything.  One thing in particular is that bartenders want the bands to stop playing dance songs (popular hip hop songs).  Why because the DJs mostly play that kind of music.  Here the problem, the CUSTOMERS like it when the bands play hip hop songs.  It you the bartenders that hate it!  If  it not broken, don't fix it.  Why should bands change up their play list if it keeps the customers dancing?

There are songs that I never want to hear again but there is nothing i can do about that.  Unless I quit.  I know the bartenders want to help but sorry to say it, but it not helping.  These are the same guys that recommend we have reggae nights.  We tried it.  NOBODY SHOWED UP!  Yeah like we are gonna listen to their wonderful ideas ever again.

We all have to listen to the same shitty music every night.  Just fucking deal with it.  If the tourist weren't so fucking picky about songs, we could do some other stuff.  But they're not so we have to suffer.

Leveling Up My Geekness

Today is a glorious (and hot) day.  My purchase of Battlestar Galactica The Complete Series on Blu-ray has arrived in it silver box glory!  Also included is the blu-ray version of the BSG tv movie "The Plan".  Sadly none of the webisodes are on this box set.  Bummer but i will get over it.  I could not turn down the $113 price Amazon was selling it for.  A bargain in my opinion.  Behold it beauty...

Looky there I still have my original Xbox games.

Between playing video games and working, i need to find time to watch this magnificent show.

Bloggerstock: Before there were blogs

Firstly happy Memorial Day everyone.  This marks our one year of Bloggerstocking!  Thanks to everyone especially Alex for keeping it going.  Let make it to another year.  Alright down to business.  This month topic is called "Befere there were blogs".  Our job is to find a journal entry or diary that you would like to share with the world.  Then give your current perspective on that entry.  Ruth of http://ruthajones.com/ will be hosting my bloggerstock post.  This month, I'm honored to be hosting Alex from icewolf08.com 

So, given the theme of this month’s Bloggerstock post I sat down and started to read through some of the things that I have written in some of my old paper journals.  I loved to write (still do), and boy did I write some interesting things.  Sure, high school was an interesting time, I am sure it was for all of us.  One of the interesting things was just remembering some of the situations and things that I wrote about, or not remembering them at all.

There were also plenty of things that I am not sure that I would want to share.  Not because they embarrass me in particular, but because I feel like I sound like an idiot.  Not that I don’t say stupid things that make me sound like an idiot today, but really.  For that matter there is some stuff in there that borders on porn, but I suppose that is what comes of the teenage male mind.  Go figure.

Of course there were fun things to find, like the $2 bill that fell out of one of my books.  I knew I had one somewhere, now I know where!  I was (and still am) a pen whore.  If you go through my journals, I wrote with so many different and crazy pens.  Colors, styles and all.  All the writing made me have pretty decent handwriting though.

So here is the entry I picked.  By all accounts I suppose it is kind of tame, but I thought it was interesting.

So here is an incident that I just found interesting, a note in the street with my name on it.  How can anyone really resist that temptation?  Could I really have manipulated these two people, one a friend of mine and someone I didn’t really know?  In high school, I suppose I probably could have.  It might have been interesting.  I suppose if I knew them both it may have even been fun to do.

What would I have written if this happened to me today?  Well, the real lynch-pin would be who the letter was to/from.  I mean if it was people who I knew well and thought could handle some fun or could use a “nudge” in the right direction I might try to help out.  I have had a couple friends who have come to me for relationship help.  I mean I must be doing something right if I am going to get married in August.  So, who knows, maybe I could make two people into a happy couple.  On the other hand, at this point in life, I would think that most of my friends would know when they are being played with.

So, there it is, an interesting look into my journals.  Possibly not the most exciting or juicy entry, but a good one I think.  Certainly a fun trip down memory lane.

Ever Wonder What They Look Like Now?

Found a picture of the cast of the 1971 classic Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.  Behold....

Doesn't Charlie kinda look like Mr. Slugsworth?

Back in the early years of my life i would watch this movie all the time.  I still do if the movie catches my eye during channel surfing.
