What ever happend to these guys? It’s as if they fell off the fucking planet!! God, I remember partying back in the 80’s, and always hearing at least a few of their songs throughout the night … maybe chicks dug them, their ballads, and that’s why too … whatever the reason, it seemed like mandatory music at these parties!! They weren’t a one hit wonder either, had a few popular songs … Rock in America, Sing Me Away, Sister Christian, Goodbye, Sentimental Street … used to hear these songs all the time. Don’t misunderstand me, they weren’t my cup of tea … Led Zep, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Rush, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest … shit like that was more to my liking, and I get that they were pop rock, but they weren’t bad … I think what I’m saying is there’s far worse shit from that era that still gets airplay, but not these fuckers!! Guess they had their run, times and tastes changed, and it ended … I dunno? Makes you (me, at least) wonder?!?!

Wrapped up some very important business on the phone with my new ‘bestest‘ bud, lol!! Thanks motherfucker (another thing: love it when I feel comfortable to use my ‘I’m gonna wash your mouth out with soap’ language with someone I don’t even fucking know, but … they get it … so refreshing) for all your help, and the firsthand experience insightful tricks of the trade (the bullshit chit-chat too, such a welcome break in the day). Seeing we had quite a lot in common, Tony said, “I’m 51, but don’t look it” asks my age and I respond “I’m 47 … but don’t act it”, lol!! We had a fun talk filled with plenty of laughs!! Hey man, like I told you, I’ll definitely search you out when I come by next week!! Tall guy with a goatee (tall guy trying to grow a goatee as you said, lol)!!

Do you feel singled out, do you feel less than all the rest
You know it’s interchangeable, the spotlight and the pain
I wanna get on top of this, I want to build that trust again
And if I give it all I’ve got, I’m sure you’d do the same

And now we’re in the middle of, a transition in our lives

Again I face the fear in this, I see a place for you and I
And we can make the most of it, cause our passion never dies
And if you don’t believe in me, I choose the path then change your mind
And you can take me to your room, or wherever you may hide

Still continues!! It’s been an obsession for many, many years now!! More of a passion, I mean I’m not fucking mental, lol. Guess it was that great burger at Allen’s on Sunday that’s got me inspired again … plus with warmer weather, week-end golfing with buddies days right around the corner, more eager and excited!! And I’m not talking about any Joe-Fucking-Blow-Burger either … I’m talking about ‘the classic burger’ with simple ingredients and toppings!! Cheese (Aged Cheddar, Emmenthal, Jarlsberg, and maybe Muenster being acceptable) lettuce, tomatoes, onions too … and perhaps bacon … nothing more!! Now, I’ve made my share of burgers with a variety of added topping … I make a killer poblano pepper onion relish for my Southwestern burger, I make a great Greek burger … Turkey burgers, and Salmon burgers too. When it comes to the classic, the burger you could possibly call the BEST ever, these don’t qualify, they can’t!! Lately, I’ve heard of some silly toppings … mango chutney?! WTF?! Zen danistrulytheman, zen, lol!! Plus, and this is important, so pay attention … it’s imperative NOT to overcook the meat drying it out, essentially taking away any chin dripping juiciness!! With this in mind, today I woke early, researched meat grinders online, secured an incredible deal locally, drove far out of my way (Markham) and bought this bad boy!! Now, I’ll be able to grind my own pieces of meat, taking the necessary precautions from a health perspective, allowing me to safely cook the meat as little as possible … rare, or medium-rare, that’s it, the way a perfect burger is intended to be cooked!! And I don’t mean steak tartare burger, but believe me, I will try this at least once in the future too!! Hey, you want bean sprouts and asparagus stalks on your well-done shoe leather burger … knock your socks off, lol!!

Where else, right, lol? Google search best burger Toronto, Allen’s always comes up at the top. I believe it’s the only place in Toronto asking you how you want your burger done. By that I mean, they will serve it rare, other restaurants … not a fucking chance!! We ordered 3 medium rare, and they arrived blood red … let me tell you, motherfucking incredible!! Also, well before other pubs hopped (get it?) on the specialty beer trend bandwagon, they had the best, most comprehensive and extensive beer list available (the pic I took is only a small portion of what they offer)!!

Seinfeld, remember? This is my BIG salad … enough to feed an (Greek) Army. Sometimes hard to visualize from photos I know, but trust me, it’s HUGE!! Tomatoes (heirloom), feta cheese (Dodonis) sweet onions, lettuce, oregano … sans olives this time for a change, olive oil too. Instead, drizzled Avocado Oil on the salad, it’s a new PC product from their ‘Insider’s Report’, the health benefits are purported and claimed to be incredible, not only for the heart, but the skin too!!

It’s my ‘let’s get naked and do it Greek style salad’. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, lol!!

Was gonna post about her long time ago, did a one-eighty … “fuck that shit”, bitch doesn’t deserve it, lol!! Of course she did, still does … only now I don’t know where to begin since my previous thoughts elude me, but I’ll try!! S.S. is a very special person to me, she was a GREAT friend … sometimes I question why considering things she said … here she is in her own words:

1) “you should be happier without the aggravation i created”

2) “why would u like me, me wonders…….. i seem to do nothing but antagonize you”

I know … not only did I put up with that shit, I kept coming back for more, lol!! Honestly, it wasn’t that bad … and if it was, I ain’t sayin’!! My recent out of the blue correspondence lead me to finally blog about her. She freely admitted looking on my site occasionally, but not spying (I prefer lurking, lol). See this is something I love about her, completely honest, and extremely trustworthy … fuck, I trust her more than people who are closer to me, some I trust only as far as I can spit on them. Anybody else would have purposely omitted saying that, or outright LIED about it … but not her!! That’s a quality to be highly admired!! Goddamn … if only trust was a warm, wet cunt, eh?!?! Oh, and btw S.S. you’re ALWAYS welcome to sneak a peek (it’s others I’m more concerned with, lol) … you can be my WordPress bitch any fucking day, lol!! I’m not going to drone on and on boring everyone, or gush too much about how wonderful she is … ‘specially now knowing she’s gonna read it, but I’ll tell a couple of stories …

Throughout our emails, she would constantly use British slang … and I know my share (not as much as her), I used to buy UK magazines (mostly car mags … side story: Tiffany K. was getting on my case for years to throw them fucking out as they sat piled up collecting dust, but I spent so much money on them, I had such a hard time … finally relented … sadly chucked the whole lot) so I knew plenty of terms. I also loved watching Fawlty Towers … oh, and that’s another thing, S.S. had EVERY fucking show from the BBC listed as likes on FB, but not this one?? What’s up with that shit? This one was the fucking best … loved Sybil calling out, “Basil, Basil”, lol. I remember one day, saying to myself, “she hasn’t said ‘arse’ yet, how long will it take?” TWO fucking days, LOL!! I was pissing when I read that. Eventually, would have asked her what’s with the Blimey Limey lingo? … I mean fuck … I ain’t no John Steed, and she’s ain’t no fucking Emma Peel!! … THEN, when the fun stopped, the Brit slang stopped … and THEN I realized how much I missed it!!

I was constantly on her ass, wanting pictures. Bitch never sent me shit for a long, long fucking time!! Close your eyes and imagine danistrulytheman on his knees pleading for pics … it was pretty much like that!! Finally she sent ONE … the one I’m posting … since, like I said … it’s the only ONE I have. But she sent it with this whole story, a long story … I kept thinking, just send the fucking pics, save those words for naughty stories, lol!! Actually, I was touched by her passionate tale and enthusiasm, that I researched about where the picture was taken, and its historical significance!!

I know what y’all are thinking, I think highly of her … so why aren’t we close friends any longer? Well, basically … she went cuckoo for cocoa puffs, lol [JOKING!!]!! Not sure of her take on us now, but without a hint of hesitation … I still consider her, and proudly refer to her, as ‘my friend’!!

OMG, is that a motherfucking HEYS TravelMate, lol?

==========================================================================================================

Oh, and she loves motherfucking kick-ass music!! What’s not to dig about her?, lol!!
