Fast forward to 19 min and 45 seconds and watch carefully. My respect for our former VP dipped quite a bit when I got a look at his bottom choppers. They look like ancient yellowing fish bones.

Hey Peeps, I just have to say, I have become OBSESSED with this Gap commercial. I love it! Maybe because it reminds me of my heyday as a PFHS cheerleader

Enjoy!

Why are Virginia Tech fans so obnoxious? Living in the Northern VA area, they're everywhere! We get it - you didn't go a shittier college but we don't need to see a stupid flag waving from the front of your house.

My theory is that these people have no identity and are cattle that would like to be back at the farm with the rest of the cows. Maybe? Maybe not... but try getting some grown up clothes.

Look at these dorks and you will understand.

Just some random fun. Last night Patriots-Colts game had me going hmmm. So here are some other things that make you go hmmmm.

The godfather of things that make you go hmmmm.

And his long lost cousin

Windy City Red Hots.......Okay here is the dealio! Everyone loves hotdogs. Grilled, boiled, steamed, baked, fried, sauteed, deep fried, and raw. You name a way to cook it and people like it. To this point in my life the best hotdog I ever had was from a vendor cart in Boston back in the mid 80's. The cart was run by a guy I knew only as True Mucking Meyer. God I miss my uncle Joe. We would stop on our run and grab a few a piece. Boiled with kraut and some nice potato buns!!!!! The cart was posted up in front of the Massachusetts College of Art on the corner of Longwood and Brookline Avenue's.

About four months ago my wife and I was channel surfing and having a hard time finding anything to watch. There was some documentary called hot dog something. Well I watched it in awe. The next day I was at a cookout at my sister in law's house and naturally I brought up what I watched! Low and behold my sister in law's husband mentioned a place out by the Blue Mount Nursery. Windy City Red Hots. Let me tell you! I have worked my way thru the menu trying everything but the Pizza Puff ( for obvious reasons ) and they have by far the best dogs ever. It is simply the BOMB. I highly recommend the the Italian combo..If you are driving west on Route 7 stop in tell Angel that Southie sent you.

It has been that since I have blogged last. My apologies. The wife is still swamped with work, so I still get to play the role of "Bloggie." Wow. How should I start?

Well recently I went to the see the movie The Box. I have never in my life felt like I wasted $22.00 more than I did that night. Where do I start? I absolutely love Mr.Whoopi Goldberg as an actor ( Frank Langella ). Second I despise, no I straight up can't stand Cameron Diaz. So its going to be a toss up decided by James Marsden. Well James didn't deliver. The movie was easily the worst movie I have seen  this millennium. There wasn't any redeeming thing about it. Two hours of pain and misery. I am glad my wife was riding shotgun on this one. I wouldn't have been able to endure by myself.

I checked out a new dining option in my hood. Bistro-Bistro. Saltimbocca like it is supposed to be. Yummy.

My Boxing business is picking up. I am quickly approaching my yearly goal. I think I may have hit the big time. I just cashed checks from Don King. No they didn't bounce. Speaking of boxing a colleague of mine has asked me to help him train. As much as I would love to, and I did try. I can't make the commitment necessary to assist in Money Mike's endeavor.

Almost mid November which means holidays. My daughter is coming to see us for Thanksgiving. I am excited. This also means Christmas is coming. Any one have any suggestions what I should get the wife for X-Mas?

And for the record. There is nothing worse than getting stuck behind someone driving a Toyota Prius on a one lane highway. I now know why the are energy efficient. They don't have gas pedals. What an ugly car.

This past weekend Ash and I visited Colonial Williamsburg. Let me start this off by saying it was an awesome weekend. There are more pancake and waffle house per square foot than you could imagine. It was insane when we would drive the strip looking for vittles it was pancakes and waffles. We found a 5 guys nuff said.

Friday night we took the "Ghosts Among Us" tour in down town Williamsburg. All the dwellings were pre civil war. It was cool they took us to some really old houses, told us ghost stories and tales of haunted villages and such. Wasn't too scary but too watch the actors tell the stories was cool.

Saturday we went to the Ripley's Believe it or Not museum. It was cool seeing some real oddities from around the world. We also took in a 4-D show about dinosaurs and creatures from the deep. It was awesome right up until the water started squirting everywhere. The next venture in a our day was to visit downtown Williamsburg in the day time. This was a great time the only thing that made it not o great was it was Home Coming at William and Mary. So it was crowded with alumni from years past. I thought I did see a guy who was on one of the paintings that we saw on our Ghost Among Us tour. Saturday night was movie night. We saw Law Abiding Citizen. now I get turned off when parents take there kids to the movies unless it is a kids flick. Well let me tell you. If you have to shield your 5 year olds eyes throughout half the movie you need to leave. This poor little girl had to endure about 7 murders, a rape, an implied kiddie rape, and countless F-bombs. Did the parents get up and leave? Nope they kept their maps buried in their nachos. This upset my dear wife. Now we went to a place called the Movie Tavern. Like the slogan said the movies never tasted so good. Order better that movie food and a waitress brings it to you. Awesome I hope there is one near me were I live.

Sunday Busch Gardens. rides, haunted houses, games, rides and this the LochNess Monster. The video has been edited but after two pretzels and a bladder buster it didn't feel that great. I recommend the Dark Castle. We must have did 4 laps around the park. At that point we were pooped. We went home and passed out.

I saw this pic, and had to re-post.  For some reason, I'm obsessed with it.  Who would make a gigantic Hello
Kitty bag????

Sorry it has been a few days since my last entry. On Friday night my wife and I met some friends that were in town from Seattle Washington. Ash and Elizabeth used to work together back home. They were in town looking to buy a house in the area. Elizabeth's husband has been reassigned. We went to Carlyle Grand in Shirlington. The Carlyle is part of the Great american Restaurant Group. ( Sweetwater, Coastal Flats ). Well let me say this I have been to four of them in the group. The Carlyle is by far the best. All four of us walked away like wow that was awesome. good night hanging out with some good people. Who while in town closed on a house congrats to Chris and Elizabeth. See you soon.

My wife and I went away Saturday and Sunday to historic Richmond VA. It was a good time. I was really surprised how much the area we stayed in reminded me of home. It was nice. If you are ever in the area I recommend the pancakes at the Berkeley Hotel and the food at Richbrau both located on E.Cary St. The pancakes at the Berkeley were killer. Now while we where in Richmond we attended season five's So You Think You Can Dance tour. We are loyal followers, we watch it, we see it live, but this year I think we left a tiny bit disappointed. Although the routines we great, the dancing was crisp, they only did the routines you saw on TV. In years passed the tour introduced new routines and that was fun to be vowed by something you never seen. And speaking of wow. Phillip Chebeeb's solo was phenomenal. The crowd has gotten a bit creepier. There was the guy sitting in front of us who had binoculars. One would say what is the big deal. Well he only used them when certain people were performing. The audience is no longer screaming teenagers.

Sorry it took so long to get back at you. My day job has decided to keep me busy. How dare they? Don't they know I have a Blog to maintain? AS IF.

Well as rack my brain there are boatloads of memories I can put in here. I am gonna share a few.

1.Growing up there was this guy in the neighborhood named Phil. He drove a mint green pick up truck. He used to drive up the street and all the kids would light up because we knew it was ice cream time. About 20 of us would hop into the bed of his pick up truck and off we go. That type of stuff don't happen these days. If I did that in my neighborhood. There would be at least a dozen phone calls to the local sheriff's office and I would be flogged.

2. Kick the can, Relievio, Man hunt, Flashio Relive. You name it, if there was a game I played it and I excelled. I could, run, hide, climb, sneak and just plain vanish. I was a 5 tool player.

3. My summer vacations. With the exception of the Summer of 81 in North Dakota. Snuff and Gail would load up the beachwagon and take us to the Elms in Manchester NH. This place holds a special place in my heart. Not only was it an awesome resort with everything to do, but I was born there in June of 1970. Still can't figure out why mom was on vacation while 8 months pregnant with me. The place had everything a kid could want and my family was treated like royalty. Vacations were never the same after the main house burned down. My most fondest memory of it was there was a rumor that Big Foot was seen in the heavily wooded area behind the softball field. So what did I do. I did what any other 9 year old did I went looking for him. I still haven't found him.

4. From about 10 to 14 was a tough time for me. Neighborhood kids made fun of me at a record clip. I was your typical kid growing up played until the sun went down and didn't bathe. I remember one time after I showered I got out and my mother said go back in and take the other layer off. I was constantly heckled. I got the "Choppa stink like a goat choppa look like a pig." There was one girl who did it the most. I remember seeing her a few years back begging for spare change because she was a crack whore. Talk about turn around. I also had a brother who poked fun at me a lot as well. Needless to say these days he showers as much as. He don't he is gross.
