If you don’t have a quiktrip in your town your missing out. I have never seen a better store for all of those goodies with almost no nutritional values. But QT is different…They even have fruit and salad and health drinks.
Now do I get that healthy stuff? Hell no… It will take a doctor to tell me that there is very limited time if I don’t change my ways… But even that may not make me go into a health food frenzy.
I remember back in the day QT used to have “Quittin Time Beer” There would be commercials on the TV with a dog named Lamar to help serve the ghetto sud’s.
I wonder if those sud’s where better than the “Beast” That would be “Milwaukee’s best” in party lingo… Or, I think that’s how it went… Maybe it was Meister Brow… Hmmm? Help a brother blogger out huh?

I like super hero movies… I saw Batman The Dark Knight Recently… Very Kewl.
Hancock is certainly a different take on Super Hero movies…This guy is a drunk with super human powers (like Superman) and has an attitude of FTW… If you know what im saying…
He is always tearing up stuff as he saves people and catches bad guys… He seems to have no guidance or morals when it comes to how he get’s the job done… Very interesting.
He then saves a guys life that becomes his friend and “consultant” on how bo become a cherished super hero instead of one considered to be an “asshole”
I also checke out “The Bucket List ” this weekend… It was a moving story about 2 guys that are termanally ill and create a list of things to do before they “kick the bucket” Great story and photogrphy as they travel worldwide… Almost holding back tears at the end… I hate that…
Weekend movie nights… Been neglecting my blogs but hope to do better.

I have always thought that Magical Mystery Tour could have been recorded in the garage somewhere… Or some of it anyways… It’s not all that great of a recording. Even though it is a great record over all…
George Martin has been hailed as such a great producer…And he was…But there are many other records from this period that have as good or better recordings. The song “magical mystery tour” is paticarly noisy and muddy.
I remember back when the early Beatles CD’s first came out… They were all released in mono… To preserve the “original” recordings… They “fake stereo” vinyl records sound better.
Anyways, Magical has some magical music on it… I like the song “flying“… It is the picture of 60’s psychedelia… Love that trippy guitar.
The string arangements on “I am the Walarus” has to be the best in rock and roll. And that saxaphone (I think) playing on “Baby im a Rich Man” is the most bizarre horn part I have ever heard. That is Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones playing that… Miss that guy.
Other Highlighs
- Hello Goodbuy - Great guitar line and simple lyrical message.
- Your Mother Should Know - Dance to a song before your mother was born
- Strawberry Fields Forever - Maybe the best John lennon Song ever.
I am here as you are here as we are all together - John Lennon

Hey, you ever heard of myspace ? I remember hearing those words years ago. It was brand new then and growing strong… So, I of course joined. See here !
Many web geeks then (and now) can’t stand myspace. But for all the sexual/dating/flirting/cheating computer novices that just want to have fun-You can’t beat it. It has to be the biggest free internet meat market on the net. Why join some kind of paid dating site when there are millions to choose from on MySpace. (If that’s where you go to get dates anyways)
I have been fed up with myspace in the past while having difficulties with a girlfriend that I met there. She seemed to enjoy the excitement on the website more than me. Still, I keep my profile up and check it from time to time… I sometimes promote my blogs on there to try and build my pathetic traffic stats.
Do you like to surf pages at myspace? I always find it hard to read most pages as they tend to put up all kinds of gadgets and background pictures… Gee, It reminds me of yahoo geocities. This is the reason a lot of web designers don’t like myspace.
Profits
People sure can have a good time. With all of those “theme” sites out there. So many people are cashing in on myspace’s success…Especially Myspace itself. (800 million in revenue 2008) And, they don’t even have to add content… It’s members do plenty of that. They just monitor the datacenter and fight hackers… No need to actually write anything.
Why don’t some of those cat’s come over here to Today and add content and make a little money on the side…But wait… This blog network isn’t a meat market is it?

Well, my favorite TV show “The Shield ” has come to an end. I wrote a review about it awhile back. I got addicted to it years ago when channel surfing one night when I was bored.
They more or less wrapped up the characters as best they could while keeping the violent crime and disturbing images rolling on the last show. Those guys have come to be my friends
Sorry to see their lives just got so screwed up.
The last show was actually quite depressing. To see that knucklehead Shane kill his wife and kid’s and then take his own life was just pitiful… And the fact that Vic lied to his loyal partner and let him go on to be convicted of all of his wrongdoings was pitiful too.
Oh, you could say that Vic’s life got screwed too even though he saved his own skin. He now has to work at a desk for years and his family got put into protective custody to protect them from his twisted justice kind of ways. So now he NEVER get’s to see his wife and kid’s again. Gee he always seemed to put his family first…Whatever…. That silly guy.
I noticed the black cop’s character which they let fade away a few season’s ago was taking a hard look at some gay guys that were happily chasing each other around on the streets. I assume he was wishing he were doing the same. He got married to a girl but her character was never heard from again. I assume he stayed with her but would still prefer a “boyfriend”
Yep, Ronnie had to go to prison because Vic got immunity and then lied to him saying that it was for the both of them…Remember he needed to protect his “family” Vic’s a family man you know? (I just keep hammering on this one)
Dutch is still finding serial killers and that 2 faced David is going to be mayor finally… Everybody got what they wanted…Except the “strike team” Crime doesn’t ever really pay does it?
Vic and the Boys… Have a good time! You will be missed…
