Warm weather means BBQ season’s back. Not a moment too soon, winter was long … and nasty. And with hotdogs, hamburgers, steak, chicken, etc., set to sizzle, the time for replenishing supplies is prime … talkin’ ’bout the essentials … A1 Steak Sauce, Heinz 57 Sauce, Cheez Whiz, and Kraft Singles … yep, I’m good to grill!! 😎

“get off your high horse” – Mom
lol … it’s funny how a simple thing, a random thought, triggers old memories (and I’m talking OLD, lol). What? Was danistrulytheboy an arrogant, boastful, SOB braggart, lol?!
nature is a whore
he’s the one
who likes all our pretty songs
and he likes to sing along
and he likes to shoot his gun
but he knows not what it means
knows not what it means and I say aahh
“I fell in the hole, I’ll climb out” – danistrulytheman
Perseverance and will power, and sacrifice! You know why people quit? Because they’re fucking quitters. Good things don’t come easy!
Leftovers: Indian food
You turn me on …
[heard it flipping through radio stations, haven’t heard it it years. great live performance vid, now am thirsty for a Heine, lol.]
Did you see that Michigan game?!?!
OMG, I still can’t believe it … was waiting all game, yelling at the TV, willing my Michigan to do something. Nothing! Were trailing Kansas all game … 14 points late in the game behind … 5 points with 21 seconds left to play behind … and yet, they did it … Big10 time did it. What a comeback, what a game, somebody pinch me, lol!!
“beer is like potato chips and ice cream” – danistrulytheman
no time left now for shame, horizon behind me no more pain
and on a good day, well I know it ain’t everyday, we can part the sea
goodbye goodbye goodbye bad – hello hello heaven
I can feel no sense of measure
no illusions as we take
refuge in young man’s pleasure
breaking down the dreams we make real
goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
leave it
hello hello heaven
The VCR and the DVD there was a none of that crap back in 1970
We didn’t know about a World Wide Web
Was a whole different game being played back when I was a kid
Wanna get down in a cool way
Picture yourself on a beautiful day
Big bell bottoms and groovy long hair
Just walkin’ in style with a portable CD player
No, you would listen to the music on the AM radio
Yeah, you could hear the music on a AM radio
I’d be in bed with the radio on
I would listen to it all night long
Just to hear my favorite song
You’d have to wait but you could hear it on the AM radio
Yeah, you could hear the music on a AM radio
I can still hear Mama say, “Boy turn the radio down”
bottom line; I’m the bigger person
… ALWAYS (ok … almost always, lol)!! No matter that I sometimes start out kicking and screaming, but at the end of the day … I’m Mr. Nice Guy standing proudly with head held high!!
that’s the thing about living, when you get there you’re seldom forgiven
new suit, and a new tie, a real nice service for me when I die
three meats tomato sauce w/ casareccia
Today I pan seared ossobucco, Italian sausages, and my famous meatballs … then gently plopped them into my homemade tomato sauce letting them slowly simmer for a few hours creating this flavourful gravy. Casareccia pasta, with its great texture really helps the sauce cling, sopping it up … oh I also added a bit of broccoli rabe before serving to give it that extra oomph. Freshly grated Grana Padano Scelto, and a glass (or two) of vino … yep, life don’t get no better!!
there’s a magic running through your soul
but you can’t have it all
walk away if you want to it’s ok if you need to
you can run but you can never hide
from the shadow that’s creeping up beside you
what ever you do I’ll be two steps behind you
where ever you go and I’ll be there to remind you
that it only takes a minute of your precious time
to turn around I’ll be two steps behind
so take the time to think about it
walk the line you know you just can’t fight it
take a look around you see what you can find
like the fire that’s burning up inside me
I’ll never show you love again!!
… EVER!!!! At first was grateful/thankful for the snub, but after a scroll through, reading ‘tween the lines ain’t no more. Peace … out!!
I just saw Halley’s Comet
my eyes are open wide by the way I made it through the day
I watched the world outside by the way I’m leaving out today
I’m not angry I’m just saying sometimes goodbye is a second chance
to make them realize this is my life … here is my chance this is my chance
please don’t cry one tear for me I’m not afraid of what I have to say
this is my one and only voice so listen close it’s only for today
and that’s where it was, in all its glory, my thousand quid
he had to unscrew about fifteen screws
before he could pull the panel off the back
to get in the fecking thing
“because you’re such a nice guy” – Tony
… LCBO employee. I do have the niceguyknackgene, and I really appreciate his kind words as he lead me into the stock room (employees only permitted area btw), and grabbed this limited edition Guinness glass, slapping ‘n sticking it to my Harp … Happy St. Paddy’s Day danistrulytheman!!
sorry for the blurriness, my bad …
Irish as the day is long …
“the human face Watson is like the penis” – Sherlock Holmes
