Scotch and Cigars...

My weekend has been UN-EVENTFUL. Which for me is a very big deal. I am...the head liner, the main event and the after party. This weekend though, I've been in permanent chill mode. I had Monica over on Saturday. FYI this chic is the awesome-ist (if that's even a word) designer that you have never heard of. She has skill and design like NO OTHER. I am trying to get her to realize this so that we can get her clothing line off the ground!!! It. will. happen. Anywho, I invited her over to talk about life and love. While doing so we drank Johnnie Walker (thanks Cheryl) and smoked cigars (thanks Fran, Shannon and George) I hipped her to some new sh*t - my sh*t - cuz that's how I roll. Of course she loved it!!! Like I've said before, if you let him, Johnnie Walker will be your very best friend!! Good friends, good food and good drinks make my days worth living.

I've decided that I am no longer kissing guys asses! I've noticed that men these days- well they aren't shit!!! They want you to jump through ALL of the hoops for their affection, yet they are offer you mediocrity. My new stance in 2011: Unless you're Barack Obama and can command an army, etc... get the the hell out of her with all of your heirs! You're an average, individual like everyone else! Whoever told you that you weren't lied to you. Stop giving us fabulous ladies your ass to kiss! (and that concludes my tangent)

I have smoked at least 9 cigars this weekend. Scotch and Cigars, my favorite vices. Two vices that don't come with STD's. I'm with it. :-)

Any who, I'd like to hip you all to one of the most beautiful songs that I have ever heard. Nessun Dorma. This is a cover done by Aretha Franklin at the last minute. Her voice is so beautiful. Aretha IS THAT CHICK!  She came up in an era where one actually had to know how to sing. She didn't rely on bullshit producers and repetition to make her sound interesting. A time where one had to actually be a class act - a lady (I'm looking at you, you whore/alley cat Rihanna and you, you weirdo freak show Lady Gaga). Enjoy the song and the lyrics, they almost brought me to tears. Did I forget to mention that Aretha was a child prodigy and can play piano by ear? Google her. After that, Google me. lol.

Cigars

So...for those that don't know, I occassionally smoke cigars now. They are actually quite FUN to smoke. They come in many different flavors and actually make you a little dizzy from time to time...I also look very cool smoking them.

I've one hell of a cigar week...



First off here are the cigars that I previously wrote about that I bought from Holt's. Technical diffuclties kept me from posting pics, but here they are, live and in color!!!



CAO Flavours



These are cigars that my co-workers (the cigar club) bought me as going away presents. George (the Greek) bought me the Macanudo's. Fran (the Man) bought me the Acid Krush Classic's and Shannon (banana) bought me some yummy flavored Mandarin Tatiana's. YEAH!!!!!!!!!! I'll be smoked up for at least the next month or so...I FEEL LOVED.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, you're far too kind - Jay -Z

Busy Day...

Went to Tip O'leary's last night in Havertown. This is the WHITEST place that I have ever been. LMAO. I almost didn't want to walk through the door. People were looking at us when we came through the door like "what the f*ck are they doing here!?*? LOL. My friend, who often hangs out with people of European descent, said that SHE even felt uncomfortable. Ha ha!! I was there for a work place reunion and luckily they had a private room in the back. I must say that I enjoyed myself. Who wouldn't with a $20 open bar from 10pm- 1am? It was great seeing all of my old work buddies, including my equally feisty birthday twin, Rachel who planned the event.

I also met up with a "friend" that I'm quite sure I won't be meeting up with again. Ha! Fuck 'em. I'm too busy to be kissing guys' asses. Oh well...on to the next one :-)

I went on a lunch date earlier yesterday with Monica to Fox and Hound. She informed me that she was an HOUR late to our date because she was "pre-occupied". I'm JEALOUS. Anywho, for anyone interested, Fox and Hound is on 15th and Spruce. They have $5 23oz and $3.50 domestic pints beer specials on Saturday. FYI if you plan on going, get there before 4pm or before any major sporting game is playing. This place can get VERY crowded, VERY quickly. If you aren't on a diet (everything on the damn menu is 1000+ calories) and you want a place to watch the game, this is the place for you!!

After our outing, Monica accompanied me to HOLTS Cigar Company. There I bought (2) Romeo and Julieta's and Flavours by CAO. Would you like to know what flavors they are?? Gold Honey. Bella Vanilla. Moontrance. Earth Nectar. Eileens Dream. Cherry Bomb. YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!

This song goes out to my secret, undercover, wish I was your lover.
