Bah Humbug

Seriously, screw the holidays. I once felt like a genius when I wrote that on the holidays nobody works. That is to say that only a nobody works during the holidays. Like the poor bastard that gets to run the drive thru at Jack in the Crack on x-mas day. It happens and I know it does because I am the type to want some tacos on x-mas day.

If I was a rich person I would probably enjoy it more since I would have many days off and tons of free time to do the shit that makes me sick like baking ginger bread men or decorating my house with fat bearded white guys dressed in red.

I really just hate the big drain. Plus the economy is poop so it’s extra lame this year. I ain’t bought a new toy since August! AUGUST!! Then my hours got cut like a new yorican knife victim (boricua!)

Sure, it sucks for all of us. Or does it? Bah!

Xmas balls

Oh man… SNL goodness

This had me dying earlier tonight. Sometimes Andy Sandberg is just too funny. A while ago I remember seeing some death metal song about giraffes that my friend and I swore was all his doing. Today was one of those days that I woke up late and had a cup of tea with whiskey in it and ended up staying in my pajamas the entire day alternating between naps, food and drinks on the couch.

Recent Decent Sips

So before turkey day I went and picked up two bottles. I wanted a nice bottle but there weren’t many options so I opted for two decent bottles.

One was a Weller 7 year old. It’s good and much different than the stellar 12 year old. Somewhat floral on the nose and packs a nice balance of sweetness and light oak on the palate. It’s a great anytime bourbon because it’s just so damn good and the price of $16.99 it’s damn near impossible to find a better bottle.

The second bottle was an Old Grand Dad 114 proof. Upon first sip (after having a few wellers) it tasted pretty gross. It had a sweet Italian sausage thing going on. I really thought it was pretty foul. I put it all the way in the back of the milk barn.

I gave it a few days and hit it after a hard day of work and it was much better. It still had a little of that sweetness and was a bit musty. I also picked up some fruityness. It really tastes like basement to me but in a good way.

I found it goes great with lemonade. The two just mix into each other and you end up with a sweet treat.

With or without lemonade it is a good sipping bourbon (just not as cheap or as good as the Weller).

So I broke

I totally spent money at the Levi’s website swooped me up two pairs of 514’s for the price of one. Can’t complain. I really do want to make the move into uber expensive denim but I am broke as balls so Levi’s will have to do. I’ve worn levi’s my whole life. I once owned a pair of wranglers that were pretty cool. It’s strange how I change cuts every few years. I used to be strictly 501/505 but then I wanted more straight legs so for a few years I rocked 559/569. Eventually I got rid of the 569 because they are baggy in the thigh area. Now I just scraped the 559 altogether and rock a 514 with a bit more thigh huggage, a lower waist and an overall more fitting look. After all the phases of clothing I went through as a child/teen/young adult I have finally settled down at age 26 into clothes that fit me properly. My mom loves it and so do I.

Black Friday

sucks balls when you’re broke . I want nothing more than to go blow a few hundred dollars on myself right now. In reality I have about $200 and I owe my old lady $125 which leaves me with a whopping $75! Something tells me I should keeo it too rather than spend it. It is really burning a hole in my pocket… or something. If I was a nice person I would probably spend it on some gifts for friends or family.

Holidays are always such a bummer. I hate that I am always broke starting October and then never recoup till around February. You’d think that after three years of this happening one would notice a pattern and begin to prepare for such things. I think next year I will get it right.

The rain is gone and my neck is all fucked up because I slept on it in some horrible position. I dont know what happened but it hurts like a bastard and I’ve been awake since 7:00 am. Lots of bourbon but no money. My brain hurts and I want to listen to Led Zeppelin while sucking on ham bones and turkey necks with my ankles shackled to the sofa while watching a Mork and Mindy marathon wishing it would all just catch fire and get on with itself already.

I will now eat some leftovers and watch a Forensic Files marathon 😛

Alas it has arrived!

Today the creature spanks various food items including a TURKEY! Then he will retire to a cigar and some bourbon (Who would’ve thought!?) A La Vieja Habana African Cameroon and some Weller 7 to be exact.

Last Ludwig

Fall 08 Ludwig flannels are the bomb. I finally found a shop with some still in stock. These things are ruthlessly pimp. The fabric, the cut, the buttons… I mean everything about these flannels is the way it should be. I recently scored the red one. Once I get some more loot I will score the grey one to have the ultimate flannel trifecta. By then Ludwig will probably have new flannels, but I wouldn’t know since there site is outdated andf I have yet to hear about a winter look book (unlike mishka who’s got me all ready to buy to some winter shit ~ awesome winter look book!)

Very Special Old Fitzgerald

More wheat? Yes please! I love wheat, seriously I eat cream of wheat on the weekends. Delicious!

I made a goal to buy a new bottle once a week. The catch is it can’t be from the old Buffalo Trace distillery. I love the stuff but at any given time 85% of my bottles are from BT. It’s good bourbon.

Which brings us to the Very Special Old Fitzgerald, a 12 year old wheater. It’s a nice change. It was a lonely bottle at bevmo so I gave it a chance. It was a bit on the pricey side for a bottle with no cork (again doesn’t matter, it’s good stuff) at $36.

I’ve only sipped on it a few nights now so I’m still feeling it out taste wise. It is definetly sweeter than most the wheaters I sip on. Ha ha I can’t really say more, it is good though and I will buy one for the bunker next time I see one.

Note: I could not pour two glasses and keep the bottle totally full like they did in the photo. Perhaps it was a magic bottle of VSOF.

It’s World Toilet Day!

So let’s all take a big poo! Seriously it’s one of those things we ALL do. Although we may not all use actual toilets. Every human must excrete so let’s all come together on this day and drop a mega deuce.

everybody poops

I just bit my tongue

I do it often. Ouch. I feel painting or something coming soon. I always paint and make stuff when I’m broke (usually around fall/winter) in some sad hope that some random person would buy one or something. It’s kind of funny and it makes me laugh at myself. That is really the worst reason to do anything. Reality is nobody buys anything (okay, I sold a few) and it sits in my room taking up space making the place look cluttered. I’m okay with it at, the end I enjoy painting and it would be really weird if I could harvest my paintings and turn them into cash! Continue reading “I just bit my tongue”

My Bon Jovi Friday

Has sucked so far. I walked into the office today at work and it was one of those insane deadline days. I pretty much sat down and worked till noon, took a break and worked till four… right trough lunch and bounced at fo’ thirty.

I was insanely busy the ENTIRE time. I sort of liked it. It made the day go by super fast but now I’m depleted and super hungry. I’m thinking Chipotle, I love that stuff. Then yogurtland booosh!

Food is awesome. What isn’t is logging in to your site to see you have 10 new comments and have than all be spam. They bum rushed my home page. For a split second I was super stoked (10!) but no. Time for akismet… vile spammers.

Well Well…

W.L.Weller is the greatest! I resisted it… I am a doushe. I totally discriminated because it has a twist top (doh!) It’s really good and very nice to the wallet at $23 a bottle. I always thought for that cheap and no cork it must taste like ass. Now I’m thinking a cork maybe totally a cosmetic thing. Because this stuff is smooth and it’s 12 years old! The Van Winkle 12 year old is usually $50 (not anymore though because I now know that bevmo does price matching.)

There are a few other bottles they make that I will soon be making permanent fixtures in my milk dungeon. It’s made with wheat (instead of rye?) and it taste similar to the Van Winkle stuffs (also wheaters… except for the rye, because obviously it’s a rye.) A lot of people say great things about the Weller stuff but I slept. I’m excited.

Go get some now and be impressed.
