July 23rd
In those rare times when I am not able to cook something interesting, you might see a blog like this one that is full of random nothingness. I will try to keep this partially interesting, but work has kind of dragged me down today, so here goes.
* On your 21st birthday, you are just waiting to spring that shiny ID to the first bouncer you see - only to find that nobody is carding you, and it's a bit of a bummer. When you get into your thirties, you are just hoping someone will ask you for a ID, because it makes you feel good. When you turn 40ish, there is no chance anyone will ask you unless you forgot or lost your ID. Welcome to my weekend. Before my wife and I traveled to Orlando, I went to a local watering hole and left my ID for three darts. I found this out when we got to Orlando and since I turned 40, I figured, no big deal. I got carded three times. One time was in the China pavilion at Epcot. The cashier, who had a minimal grasp of the English language (but said "ID please" perfectly) asked me for proof of 21ness. I, taken aback, said nay, I do not have ID, but I have this round b-day pin that says "Happy Birthday Brian!" 40 today written in by my wife (thanks). She turned behind and screamed something in Chinese to the manager in the back, who looked at me, then looked at her, then back to me, and gave what I could only discern as the "are you nuts, give the man a beer" hand gesture. There was also some giggling from the counter staff. Awesome.
* Cialis warns that if you have an erection lasting 4 hours, call a doctor. I say, party. If you have one lasting 24 hours, and you are standing like a tripod, then seek medical attention, or a good photographer.
* My friends (who are Atlanta Braves fans) bought me (a NY Mets fan) a piece of Shea stadium for my birthday. The Mets have won one game since the All-Star break and the Braves are running away with the division . . .coincidence? :)
* Any bets on how long the Man vs. Food guy (Adam something) lives? I give it another year. Right now he is eating 8 pounds of meat in Puerto Rico and sweating.
* I work in retail, for those that share my pain, you might relate. I was pushing a cart loaded with books with a headset strapped to my skull and a name tag which said "I work here, how can I help you?" dangling from my neck. First question of the day, "Do you work here?" I replied "Nope, I am a book masochist, and my punishment for the day is rolling around this cart until I find what where it goes."
* Movies that make me mad - Batman and Robin, Reality Bites, X-men 3 and Congo.
* I heard Buckcherry music for the first time last night in the parking lot of a softball field. Music is dead.
That's all the energy I have for tonights ramblings. Here is a sneak peak of what I am cooking next week - Chicken Breasts with Red Curry Peanut Sauce and Spicy Beef with Peanuts and Chilis.
Until then, adieu.
