"Living After Midnight"

I had a very fun and interesting afternoon and evening. My buddy Rich and I went to see Queensryche and Judas Priest in concert at Jones Beach Theater tonight. It was very interesting to say the least.


One Of My Favorite Places To See A Concert 

I picked Rich up at 4:30pm, the show did not start until 8pm. Half the fun of a Jones Beach concert is the tailgate. Needless to say, the truck was packed with 2 full coolers, 1 with beer and 1 with food. So we hung out, ate, drank, and socialized for a few hours. It was strange tailgating while blasting 80's heavy metal music. I had Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue, and all those metal bands blaring out of the truck while we hung out.

I have to say, about 75% of the crowd at the show/tailgate were in a fashion time warp. The guys still had hair down to their asses, 80's style jeans, spiked wristbands, jean jackets with patches on them, 1986 concert tour t-shirts that were 3 sizes too small for them, and sneakers that looked 20 years old. The women had leather jackets, acid wash jeans, feathered hair, and boots with 8" heels on them. I am quite sure they did not wear these clothes just for the show. It looks as though this is still what they wear.


Richie enjoying one of many brews...... 

As far as the show, these guys can still play! Queensryche played for 45 minutes and sounded perfect. They aged, but not too badly. About 9:30 Judas Priest took the stage. They sounded amazing after all these years. I saw them about 5 times in the 80's, the only difference now is that Rob Halford the lead singer is not as mobile, he kinda just stands around. His voice and the band can still play for sure. They played until about 11:15pm and called it a night. I am spoiled from 4 hour Springsteen shows........

The day/night was a lot of fun. From the tailgate, to the people watching, to the show, it was a musical trip that took me back to my junior high school days. Tom Petty and John Mellencamp in a couple of weeks.....can't wait!

I was neglectful in reading everyone's blogs on Friday...I'll be sure to catch up over the weekend at some point!

C-Mac Revealed

Ok, since quite a few people have asked, I decided to post a pic of me here on "Bored at the Beach" which means C-Mac is no longer a mystery. This picture was taken on a cool and breezy evening last Saturday. With me, is the one and only Bruce. I think I had just started to drink in this pic, so I am pretty sober. This was hours before the rough night of Grey Goose and Southern Comfort.


Father's Day Wishes From Bruce 

Since I am Brucey's Dad, I figured I'd post a pic of father and son in honor of Father's Day! Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Music To Bang To

FRIDAY! FRIDAY! FRIDAY!

I had the R Kelly "Chocolate Factory" CD blasting in the Jeep on the way to work today. That CD brings back so many memories from two years ago. I was dating a girl named Laurie who I met in bartending school and we would always listen to that CD together at our most intimate of moments. :)

That got me thinking about songs I associate with sex. Songs that are just great to have sex to. Here is my list:

"Let's Stay Together" Al Green
"Shake You Down" Gregory Abbott
"Let's Get It On" Marvin Gaye
"Can't Get Enough Of Your Love Baby" Barry White
"Sexual Healing" Marvin Gaye
"Ignition" R Kelly
"Step In The Name Of Love" R Kelly
"I'm Still In Love With You" Al Green
"Me and Mrs. Jones" Billy Paul
"Show and Tell" Al Wilson

Really anything by Al Green, Barry White, Marvin Gaye, or James Ingram will set a mood.

I enjoy the classic R&B/Soul artists...but having sex to rap and music like Nine Inch Nails(no pun intended) can be fun too. It depends what kind of sex you are having. If you are in the loving mood, then the smooth stuff will be perfect. If you are looking to shake the foundation of your home, then you have to step it up.

Ok, What kind of music, names of artists, or names of songs do you enjoy having sex to?

The Big Check

The big check bothers me. You know the one I am talking about, the big check made out to charities, prize winners, etc. Why do they feel a need to show this big check? If they are having a ceremony to celebrate the raising of $50,000 for cancer research, I'll take your word that you really raised the money. I really don't need to see a bunch of douche bags posing with a big check in hand.

Look at these 3, fuckin' scary! Look at the hair on the middle dude. Amazing what you can find on the internet!!!!!


Guess The Bank Drive-Up Window Is Out Of The Question 

What do you do with a check this size once the ceremony is over? You certainly can't cash it, you can't save it as a souvenir, what good is it?

The "Prize Patrol" people annoy me. You know, that Publishers Clearing House van that shows up at people's doors to surprise them with balloons, cameras flashing, and of course......the big check. Is it me, or do only redneck hicks win those sweepstakes? I think the criteria involved to win the Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes is a maximum of 3 teeth in your mouth, a house you can tow with your car, a tire swing in the front yard, and having a wife that is also your sister. If the Prize Patrol ever showed up at my door with the million dollar check, I'd refuse it and turn them away so I would not be associated with past winners of that prize.

No more big checks!!!!!

Speaking My Mind

I've always been the type of guy that speaks my mind. Most of the time I am cautious about how I say things because I never want to deliberately hurt someone's feelings. I am a nice guy but not a pussy. I call people out on shit when they need to be called out on things, I voice my opinion, and I stick to my beliefs and convictions. I don't want my kindness to be misinterpreted as weakness, because I am strong willed and FAR from weak.

Lately, I feel like I've been selling out. For the past 7 months or so at work, I've kept my mouth shut and let certain people take advantage. I do this now because last year I was more vocal and paid for it financially in the way of bonus and raise. Apparently innovation, creativity, and a strong will is something unwanted around here. It's apparent that if you keep your mouth shut, blend in, don't come up with ideas, suggestions, or make "waves" as they describe it, you will be better taken care of. So, I've sat here the past 7 months stewing inside while I have watched what has gone on.

This new way of thinking forced upon me at work has spilled over into my private life. A year or so ago, if someone wronged me, I would have told them where the fuck they could go. Now, I try to be politically correct, I rationalize their behavior, and many times, I forgive and forget even when I know for certain they are wrong or have dicked me over. What the fuck is wrong with me? Some days I feel like I am just going to snap and blow up and just tell everyone off...it's coming soon, trust me. I feel I need an emotional cleansing. I have so much inside I want to say, to a bunch of people, but I hold it in to keep the peace. What's fucked up about it is that they are walking around fine and I am harboring all these bad feelings.

The sellout stops here, today. Why worry about "burning a bridge" if it's not a bridge to anywhere good or costructive. I am not going to keep people in my life that don't bring out good qualities in me. I say fuck you to the miserable fucks who walk around this office and bring the rest of us down, fuck you to the ungrateful bitches walking around out there who have no idea what they want and who fuck with your emotions, fuck you to the people who bring out bad things in me, and fuck you to inconsiderate, selfish assholes. I'll throw in a fuck you to all the people who think they are owed something without earning it, especially my trust or respect.

F-U-C-K Y-O-U!!!!

I normally don't rant. I keep this blog light, funny, amusing, silly, and offbeat. Today I needed to get out what's been going on. Nothing specific happened today to trigger this, it's been building since winter. I am no longer going to sell-out to keep the peace or be "politically correct" in other people's eyes. I am going back to the Charlie I am comfortable with. I am no longer going to lower my standards to conform. If you dick me over, you'll pay, no more reasoning and no more rationalizing. So, if you've wronged me recently, dig a hole and hide. If you don't have anything positive to bring to the table, stay the fuck away from me and wallow in your own misery.

My TV Dad

Sunday is Father's Day, a day to recognize and pay tribute to our dads. In real life, dads try their best. Some are really cool and nice, some may be quiet, some overbearing, some may be downright insane. I am sure all of our fathers are different in many ways. They say you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family and that is true. My dad is great, but, I would not mind a TV dad. If you could have any TV dad as your father, who would it be? Here are some of my choices:

Tony Soprano- This is one cool dude. So, what's a murder here and there. This guy would be great to have as a dad.

Ozzy Osbourne- Do I need to elaborate?

Al Bundy- Beer and hangin' at the nudey bar with dad!

Frank Costanza- Just for the laughs.

Who would you pick?

Pac-Man Turns 25

I heard on the radio and read an article on CNN.com today that Pac-Man just turned 25! That's crazy! The good thing is, I am not too much older than Pac-Man, but just hearing he is 25 makes me feel ancient.

I remember Atari and all of the games like it was yesterday. The graphics sucked compared to today's graphics but the games were much more fun, don't you think? Pac-Man was so huge, they even had a top 40 song called "Pac-Man Fever" that was a big hit in the 80's. That song sucked ass! I hated it! It's almost as bad as "Disco Duck."


I Definitely had Pac-Man Fever! 

I used to play Atari with my friends and siblings for hours. Pitfall, Frogger, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, Asteroids, Ms. Pac-Man, you name it, we had it. My mom got so hooked on Ms. Pac-Man she was obsessed and we would have to fight to get the joystick away from her, she'd play for hours too. We used to have Ms. Pac-Man tournaments and boy, did those get competitive and ugly. We were trash talking way before the NBA.

Atari, a classic indeed. What were some of your favorite classic video games?

Blogless Day

Damn, I have seminars all day and will be out of the blogging loop. I hate sitting around listening to bullshit, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

I'll leave the great people who read this "Bored at the Beach" nonsense every day with these questions:

If you could invent an amusement park ride that would give you a certain feeling or emotion what would that feeling or emotion be? (Be Creative!) I'd probably invent one of those big pirate ships that give you an orgasm each time it swings from one side to the other. That would be a hot ride.

Also, what amusement park ride do you REFUSE to go on and why?

I'll leave you with those today.....I'll be reading all of your blogs tonight. Have a great Wednesday everyone!

C-Mac's Top 5 Albums Of All Time

For those of you who are close to me, you know what an important role music plays in my life. I've been around music all my life. I was raised on so many different kinds of music. As a very young child, my mother always had music on. As a toddler in the mid 70's, I remember hearing The Eagles, Foreigner, Kansas, Boston, Elton John, Billy Joel, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, and many other classic rock albums blaring on vinyl from my mom's stereo. I was also exposed to Motown, Disco, Oldies, Italian Music, Sinatra and Bennett, and so much more. It made me love and appreciate the beauty of music. I own about 1300 cd's and I still keep music on all day long. Music has been there for me in good times and in bad. Music can transport me back in time, to when life was simple and uncomplicated, it can also bring us back to times of sorrow and despair. Every so often we come across an album or an artist that touches us deeply. These are the albums and artists we cherish and keep close to us through good times and bad. Here are my top 5 albums of all time. It was tough narrowing a list down to 5, but here they are and why:


#5 

Don Henley's Greatest Hits-Actual Miles....When an artist leaves a blockbuster band and goes solo, you always have your doubts. When the Eagles split up, I never thought Henley would have the solo career he did. His work is simply brilliant. This album touches on so many emotions and feelings. From "The Boys of Summer" to "New York Minute" this CD is just amazing. There really isn't a song on here you want to skip.


#4 

The Eagles Greatest Hits Volume I....This is the best selling album worldwide in the history of recorded music. Amazing huh? I could listen to this CD over and over for hours. This is a sit on the deck with a drink and just get lost in the lyrics kind of an album. From "Desperado" to "Lyin' Eyes" to the feeling of liberation in "Already Gone" this is a MUST have for any music lover.


#3 

Billy Joel-The Stranger....Billy Joel has been amazing for years. Album after album, this guy always put a great product on the shelves. His sound and his voice take me back in time. This album brings me back to my childhood. The songs and the message on The Stranger is incredible. From the struggles of Brenda and Eddie in "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" to the timeless love song "Just the Way You Are" to the amazing accordian music in "Vienna" The Stranger is a staple for anyone with a strong appreciation of music.


#2 

Boston-Boston....This almost made my top spot. In 1976, when disco was in full swing, these guys were kicking some serious rock n' roll ass. This was the biggest selling debut album of all time until Alanis's "Jagged Little Pill" knocked it from that claim to fame in 1996. This album is amazing, not only for it's lyrics, but for the musical compositions. From "More Than A Feeling" to the rockin' tune "Smokin" to the ballad "Let Me Take You Home Tonight" this album is great from cover to cover. Lead singer Brad Delp's voice is unique and unforgettable. If you don't own this, get out and buy it!


#1 

Bruce Springsteen-The Rising....I am such a Springsteen fan. The man is a poet. He has been making great albums since 1973 and is called "The Boss" for so many reasons. His 2002 album "The Rising" tops my list of great albums for many reasons. This album is very personal to me. Shortly after the 9/11/01 attacks here in NY, Bruce was driving in his hometown of Freehold, NJ. Citizens were approaching Bruce and saying "We need you now more than ever Bruce" and people called upon him to write and express what our city and our nation was feeling. Bruce went into the studio and came out with a masterpiece. From the songs of loss like "You're Missing", "Lonesome Day", "Empty Sky", and "Into the Fire" to songs of hope and inspiration like "The Rising", "Mary's Place", and "Waiting on a Sunny Day", this CD is a blend of all the emotions we felt then after 9/11 and can be applied to love, loss, fear, happiness, and hope we have all experienced in our daily lives. Whether you are a Springsteen fan or not, this is definitely worth getting.

Now, let's hear your top albums of all time! :)

Michael Jackson Restrictions

MJ walked away a free man yesterday. The California courts should have imposed some restrictions on him. They should have come up with a list of things that MJ should be not allowed to own, here are a few I would put on the list:

A Toy Store
An Ice Cream Truck
A Candy Store
A Chuck-E-Cheese
An Amusement Park
A Jar of Vaseline
A Playground
A School Bus
A Day Care Center

hahahaha, let's hear some of yours............

Happy Flag Day

Yes, even the flag gets a holiday. June 14th, Flag day 2005, exciting huh? This day in 1994 brings back bad memories. The NY Rangers won their first Stanley Cup since 1940. The memory of Mark Messier hoisting the cup on the ice still makes me sick.

The day after "the verdict", what do you all think? I am still upset. It's just not fair that money buys your way out of anything. It's not like he stole a candy bar. I guess the jury did not consider what molesting a child does to a kid long term. America, land of the free, home of the brave. It's a joke, our system is so fucked up, yet we try to push it on everyone around the world.

Someone stole something from my office last night, probably the drunk ass maintenance man that works here at night. Just so happens a shot glass that says "Charlie's Bar" on it is missing and the drunk fuck's name is also Charlie, duh asshole, I don't need to call Encyclopedia Brown for this case. He's the only one with a key when I leave at night. I will say something to him today, fuck him, everyone is scared of him around here and shit is always missing or fucked up overnight. Today it ends. I did not say anything about 4 months ago when the lock was picked on my supply cabinet in here, today there is going to be hell to pay. I'll drag his drunk ass out in the parking lot and beat it out of him if I have to. If there is one thing I can't stand it's people who act like they like you then lie to you or steal from you. It gets me very angry. See everyone, I get pissed too, it's not all fluff on here! hahaha

I forgot my cell phone at home today. I actually thought of turning the car around when I was a mile or so from the house. Then I thought, how many years did I go without a cell phone before they were invented and I was fine. I can be without it for 8 hours, right?

Day 7 of the heatwave here in NY. It's supposed to be like 95 degrees today. You won't hear me complain, I LOVE IT!!!!! I only bitch and moan about weather in the winter.

Have a great day everyone! Sugar V, have a great trip to Neverland for the acquittal party!

Justice Is Blind, and Deaf

Can you believe this? This fucker walks away a free man. Basically our justice system told all of us that is is quite fine for a grown man to sleep with little boys. All of these celebrities getting away with crimes is really starting to piss me off. OJ is still walking around after killing two people and now this. Yet, they almost burned Martha Stewart at the stake for selling some stocks. It's absurd. If this was a poor man on trial, he'd be spending his life in prison. This is a complete joke.


A Thriller Indeed 

This guy is an obvious molester. He already settled for millions back in 1993 for the other kid to keep quiet. Fine, that deal was cut, it's over with. So what does this fucker do, he puts himself right back in the same situation again. I assure you, this won't be the last molestation accusation nor will this sicko's behavior change. The man needs medication, therapy, and God knows what else. He is a sick man and should not be allowed around kids. Any parent who lets their kid go to Neverland now should be locked away in a padded room. I am pissed off, but not shocked. We all wave our flags claiming how great America is and how everyone is treated fairly, you can believe that all you want, I know it's bullshit. There is an obvious class system in this country where the haves are treated better and more fairly than the have nots. If MJ was a have not, the verdict would have been very different.

I Am So Bored That I........

It is such a boring day that I was just thinking of some things to pass the time:

I was wondering as I looked through my desk drawer and saw a plastic knife, "can you kill someone with this?"

I placed my phone on the receiver upside down with the talking part holding down the button and the ear part down where the talking part usually goes. Looks weird.

After today, 200 days remain in 2005.

There are 21 fun sized snickers bars per bag.

My chair reminds me of the barber chair when you lower and raise the hydraulics.

53 minutes until I go home.

The Sequel

Are you ready to begin another long work week? I sure am not. But, I did make it to work and I am in my office wishing I was anywhere else in the world but here.

Looks as though the "Star Wars" hype is starting to wind down. I am sure most Star Wars fans have seen the final episode by now. I was thinking this morning about movies that have sequels. There are some movies that NEVER should have had sequels made, here are a few I thought of:

Weekend at Bernie's II- Parading a dead guy around wasn't that funny or believable the first time, they had to do this again?

Stayin' Alive- The sequel to Saturday Night Fever, absolutely HORRIBLE!

Jaws 3- Just one question, WHY???????

Rocky 5- What a shame.

Police Academy 2-7- same shit over and over.

What movies, in your opinion, should have never had a sequel?

Steamrolled By A Goose

How many times have you said to yourself "I'll never drink again" after a rough night of drinking? I have not said it too often in my life, but I said it this morning. I haven't had a hangover this bad in about two years.

It all started innocently, as it always seems to. I got up yesterday, did my run up on the boardwalk, went food shopping, called and invited some friends over for a bbq, and relaxed until they came over. I then proceeded to cook a great lunch and dinner on the bbq, we all enjoyed the food, listened to music, and laughed. So far, I was good, drinking only water and Crystal Light Iced Tea. I really don't like to drink alcohol when I eat. After dinner a Grey Goose burst upon the scene and kicked my ass.


Bad, Bad Goose! 

It was a gradual ass kicking. I started drinking around 9. I drank at a nice pace and was feeling pretty good. By around 11:30pm, I had about 8 Grey Goose and cranberries and I was feeling good and comfortable, not sure why I felt the need for some Southern style Comfort. Once that bottle was busted open it was all downhill. By midnight I was staggering a bit, by 12:15 incoherent, and by 12:45 I had lost the heavyweight bout to the Goose and the Southern Comfort by virtue of knockout. This was the first time I've been drunk in 2005, so I will chalk it up to lack of recent activity in the drinking department.

The casualties:

My left arm got mildly burnt on the grill during this drinking binge. It's not too red today and does not hurt so bad.

My entire body. I feel like somebody beat me up and I was not able to go running today, this sucks.

My pride. Once the drinking champion, hands down, I am losing my skills and need to get back into training. Not to mention the drunk dial last night......I so did not want to do that!

A good weekend, but a lost Sunday. I hate wasting days. The weekends are too short as it is. I'll say it again, "I am never drinking again."

Fruit Sniper Back On The Job?

Why am I up writing a fuckin' blog at 7:55am on a Saturday? That would be because I have neighbors that are inconsiderate assholes. This fucker next door is drilling fence posts since 7:10am! Of course it's right outside my bedroom window! It made me want to go back to the dark days, the days when I was a sniper, a hired gun if you will.

Two years ago, when I lived in NYC for a short time I was a sniper. I lived on the 3rd floor of a large apartment building and that's where I mastered my craft. I was the best shot in town, I rarely missed. I was called upon for jobs that nobody else had the stomach or the nerve to take on. I, ladies and gentleman, was a fruit sniper.


A Hired Gun Indeed..... 

It all started one cold winter day in 2003. I was relaxing in the NYC apartment one night when a guy parked his car outside below the building and decided to crank up the bass on his stereo and listen to a Jay-Z concert for 20 minutes while my building shook. As he finally pulled away I fired three orange shots striking the vehicle. I was like Lee Harvey Oswald in the Texas Book Depository, I cranked out 3 shots in 7 seconds with precision accuracy. The man got out of his car all pissed off and was looking up at all the buildings. That apartment was great, nobody ever knew where the shots came from. This became a craft. I kept a bowl of fruit on the kitchen counter, near the window at all times. Anytime someone was really inconsiderate I fired. Lemons and limes for the small jobs, peaches and plums for the medium jobs, and oranges and grapefruits for the big jobs, depending on the degree of the offense. It looked like downtown Beirut some mornings as I walked to my car to go to work. Orange peels, lemon skins, smashed grapefruits everywhere. A site only for those with the stomach to handle it.

I took shots over power lines, at cars moving 30MPH, at parked cars, and around tree limbs. No job was too tough for the fruit sniper. I had no scope, no binoculars, I shot with the naked eye. I, ladies and gentleman, was performing my civic duty. I trained others to perform this craft. Local people, Canadians, you name it. I knew some day I would leave the neighborhood and this necessary duty would still need to be performed. My young apprentice was a Canadian boy named Eddie. He was in NYC visiting and I taught him my craft. He is keeping the streets of Toronto safe and quiet as we speak.

Needless to say, word got around. The streets were quieter, more peaceful now that there was a fruit sniper in town. Nobody dared to blast a car stereo, shout from a car, or honk a horn. We walked the streets with pride and we slept in peace with fluffy sheep hopping over a kiwi stained fence. I was a local hero. People from all over praised this mystery man each day for keeping their streets quiet. Kids drew pictures of what they thought the fruit sniper looked like. Many of them were of Carmen Miranda:


The Fruit Sniper, I think Not 

This morning the fruit sniper almost made his Long Beach debut. Lucky for him, today is food shopping day, and I am all out of fruit. Off to the boardwalk to run my morning anger away.

Cell Phone Sweep

It's been a LONG time coming. I finally cleaned out a TON of phone numbers from my cell phone. I was up to 223 phone numbers in there. That's just insane.


Clean Sweeeeeeep 

I must admit, it was like a trip down memory lane. As I scrolled and laid each person and number I no longer wanted in there to rest, a brief memory of each person flashed through my mind. Many of them were memories of drunken nights out and about and girls that I only knew for a few hours. Some were girls I dated for a few months, some for a few years. Others were friends I have parted ways with over the years and others were old work acquaintances. I am now down to a lean 46 numbers in my phone. It's a mere shell of the glory this phone once possessed, but it was time. Anyone I have not talked to or texted in the last 4 or 5 months or so, or anyone I no longer wish to talk to was removed. Kind of harsh? I don't think so. Time to look ahead to the new people I will meet and time to continue to cherish the people who have stuck around and been there for me who remain in the phone. Some were tough to delete and I struggled to press that erase button......

In the words of Billy Joel, "Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes, I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again."

Now, time to go out and load this fucker up again!

Friday Randomness

Well, we just about made it through another week, as always I am looking ahead to the weekend. 12:15 can't come fast enough today. Here are my random thoughts for today:

Remember when companies actually paid you weekly? I hate this 2 times a month bullshit. There was something to look forward to EVERY week. I have not been paid weekly in over a decade. Most companies wanted to eliminate cost and pay every other week or twice monthly. I currently get paid on the 15th and the last day of the month. If the 15th lands on a weekend, we get paid the Friday before which means we can go upwards of 18 days between paychecks. Thank God for the pimpin' cash I make on the side.

Speaking of money, I hate monthly bills. Cable, Gas, Electric, Cell Phone, you name it. Don't you hate these bills? I think the cell phone bill is my least favorite. I have a good plan, but occasionally I go over on my minutes. It's fucked up, you go 10 minutes over and your bill doubles. I hate the cell phone bill more than any bill. What monthly bill pisses you off the most?

I still have not purchased my beach passes. I have to do that this weekend. That kind of irritates me too. Paying to sit on a beach. Isn't the beach there for everyone to enjoy, it's part of nature and the earth that God created, yet we have to pay to go on it. I guess the $2000.00 in monthly rent isn't enough to live there. Fuckers.

It's supposed to be close to 90 degrees and sunny here this weekend, we've been lucky the last few weekends, let's hope it lasts! Have a great weekend everyone!

Ice Ice Baby

Ok, so I gave this "Hit Me Baby One More Time" show another chance tonight after last week's horrible performances. I am glad I did. This show kicked ass tonight!


MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!! 

The first act up was The Knack. They did their signature song "My Sharona." They sounded great after all of these years! I thought they should have won tonight. They were really great.

Then came that Haddaway dude who sang "What Is Love" the song made real famous by SNL and "Night at the Roxbury." He sounded ok, probably the worst performance of the night though.

Up next was Tommy Tutone who sang his one hit wonder "Jenny" (867-5309). I expected him to suck ass but he was right on the money with his performance tonight.

Then came The Motels who sang "Only the Lonely." Martha Davis can still sing. I was not overwhelmed but I thought she did a pretty good job.

Vanilla Ice closed out the show with "Ice, Ice Baby" and got the place going wild. He still has the cheesy dance moves and the wanna be gangsta attitude, but it was amusing. He won the show by a landslide. I thought The Knack ruled the night, but majority rules and Vanilla Boy got the victory.

I am glad I gave the show a second chance, MUCH better than last week....

The Sandwich Diet, No Great Feat

I am not sure about you, but I am tired of seeing this asshole Jared on the Subway commercials boasting that he lost 245lbs from eating only Subway sandwiches. Everywhere you go you see a picture or an advertisement with this cocky fuck in it holding up his old pants next to his nerdy face. I'd like to strangle him with those pants.


Jared the Douche Bag.... 

I am a certified personal trainer since 2003 and I say big deal Jared. If someone ate only pasta for 6 months, drank plenty of water, took vitamins, and exercised, they would lose a ton of weight also. I don't think eating ham and bologna sandwiches was any healthier or such a big accomplishment. I suppose I am the moron though. This douche bag actually ate only sandwiches and got rich doing it. Maybe I'll come up with the Betty Crocker Diet or perhaps the Sara Lee Diet and make my fortune.
