I'm a Whore
Sorry about not writing a blog yesterday when I promised one at my lunch hour. But, you see people when you usually go to lunch by yourself and eat by yourself due to the odd hours you generally go to lunch, you have plenty of time to hit up the computer lab and take your time and write something odd and inspiring. But, when two beautiful women come into MRI and ask if you want to go out to...
“Oh, Boy! Oberto!”

Stay Tuned . . .
A blog will be up, post Marc’s lunch-hour, which may be 12:30, or it may be 1:30, sometimes 2:00. You never know which way the MRI swings … “We’ll be right back.”

Wildlife Fires
I know I live in Philadelphia. Ok, I know this. But, I keep having dreams where I’m forced out of my home by wildlife fires and are forced to run/drive for my life. As if the wildlife fire is right on my tail and it’s gonna catch me. It’s a constant state of moving in order to escape the wildlife fire, which really isn’t a wildlife fire now that I think of it. ...

The Whole World's Laughing at You
It’s true, they’re all laughing. And it’s not a funny joke they were just told, or someone walking into a wall. They’re laughing at you, and it’s because you look so fuckin’ weird, you fuckin’ weird mother’ucka.

Tonight is Your Night Bro
Yep, tonight is the night I’m going with 4 dudes to go see Wu-Tang Clan at the House of Blues in Atlantic City. This is real exciting shit, I gotta admit. Even though it’s my 3rd time seeing Wu-Tang, this’ll be the smallest venue I’ll have seen ‘em in and should prove to make it a fuckin’ awesome show. This isn’t a blog it’s just pure excitement...

The Return of #5's
Last night was a great night to be a Philadelphian. First of all, there were people all over the streets trying to get you to vote for John “Raped the Homeless Man” Doughtery, and to vote in the primaries. But, on TV the Philadelphia teams and their star #5’s came out with a vengeance. Braydon Coburn. Well the Flyers made for one of the most exciting hockey games I’ve...

The Smell of School
I took a step outside this morning to get a “breath of fresh air”, and I had an overwhelming horrible feeling inside. The weather felt like a brisk, slightly cold September morning. It felt like that always horrible first day of school weather. And the feeling of that first day of school came in to me. It’s the kind of feeling that you only get on that day. The summer has...

Richard Roeper is a Hack
I keep seeing the preview for Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and the quote they keep throwing up is “One of the funniest damn movies I’ve ever seen.” And Richard Roeper said that shit. Now, hold on, what the fuck is Roeper doing? Does he think that because he used the word ‘damn’ and people will see his name with this movie that he automatically is a cool/hip film...

John's Roast Pork
A few months ago, Maxim magazine had an article about the best cheese steak in Philly. It gave very low marks to Pats/Genos, which is semi-deserving. But, I do love me a Pats cheese steak. And it gave mention to Cosmi’s which is large and in charge and also fantastic. But, the highest rating it gave was to John’s Roast Pork. A place I’ve drove past many times, but never...

Thank You #5's
I keep true to my statement that if you’re #5 and play a professional Philadelphia sport than you’re the best player on the team. And last night proved my point, oh so well. Pat Burrell hitting a bottom of the 9th 2-run home run to tie up the game? He is a golden god and I will never stop worshipping at his altar. Notice as Feliz stares at Burrell’s number, this would give...

Fear of the Unknown
What the fuck is that behind you? Don’t look. That’s the unknown. SCARED? Good. I want everyone not to be scared of the unknown, for the unknown is just that, unknown. Get to accept the fact that there are things that are unknown, but once you witness it, it’ll become familiar to you. Then pop on your headphones and play some Neil Diamond’s America. Soothing beat,...

Imagine This.
I want you to close your eyes for a second and put on your imagination burners. Wait, I guess then you can’t read this. Ok, go back and forth between imagination burners and reading this. The movie fades in and we see an empty suburban street in Autumn. Leaves are blowing around the ground and it looks a bit chilly. We focus in on one house, a little older looking than the rest of the...
“I am so high I can see heaven.”
– Hero, Chad Kroeger & Josey Scott, I have a strong psychic feeling that this mix of Nickleback & Saliva will have an amazing camp value resale in another 5-10 years. Kind of how we can all laugh and sing Journey & Phil Collins now.
The Past Has Happened, No, Seriously
I want you all to listen and listen well, the past has happened. Yes, I know sometimes that’s a hard idea to grasp and wrap your cheeks around, but the past has happened. It’s true and as I type a little more and a little more, the past continues to happen. It’s kind of funny when you think about it. I mean I feel like I’m making the past happen. BAM! Yep, that was in...

Acme is Balls
It seems like every time I go to Acme it’s this big ordeal. The South Philly Acme has become the easiest store I can go to and generally I save a ton with my Acme Super Saver! But, something always happens that I feel the need to write about. First of all I’d like to ask, how come no matter what shopping cart I pick it’s always the one with the fucked up wheel or the one that...
Do I Really Stick Things Up People's Assholes?
I don’t generally talk about work, but I am a MRI tech. It basically consists of me talking to patients, positioning them, putting them in the machine, scanning them, and injecting them with a sticky clear liquid. There are a lot of other things that I also do, but mostly it goes something like that. MRI’s are wonderful and the being around the giant magnet for so long has made me...

Soylent Green's New Flavor Is Out
I remember the early 90’s, when I started fleshing out and getting into older movies and music. I was inspired by a Phil Hartman sketch on SNL of him running around like Charlton Heston and screaming, “Soylent Green is people! PEOPLE!” I was intrigued so I rented Soylent Green, sure enough it is Charlton Heston running around and screaming, “Soylent Green is...
Bagism Making a Comeback
I would in no light call my self a morally sound person, but I try to be. There’s just too much going on in this world to stay on that upper plateau and never once look down. I tend to take peaks down often, just to get a look at what it’s like from down there. Anyway, while I’m preaching to my computer I’d like to tell you all that I’m going to follow the...

Playing with Death
So, as legend has it (or as Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey would have us believe) when we die we can challenge Death to a game of our choosing. If we lose we go onto the afterlife, if we win Death will become our bitch and take us anywhere we want to go, heaven, hell, Earth, ANYTHING! Well, this has got me into a lot of thinking about what I will choose when I die. My first thought was to...

New Baseball Rule?
You know how I had fun anyway last night. Well, I was watching the Nationals pitcher warm-up on the mound. And I thought this is bull-shit, dude has been warming up in the dug-out for awhile. He should have to come out and just start pitching. Fuck the warm-up on the mound. I think it should be a new baseball rule. Than a friend who shall remain nameless came up with the idea that for a...

Retraction: Hatfield Dollar Dog Night
Got up to the gates at 4:45, sorry son, game’s sold out. Oh, well, that blows testicles. So, I drank in the parking lot and watched the game over a friend’s house. Guess what? The game blew nuts, Philies had one hit. And I ate two hot dogs anyway and still had fun, but the numbers, well, the numbers won this one tonight …
Hatfield Dollar Dogs Night
Well, it’s on tonight. I’m going to the opening NIGHT game of the Phillies and I’m excited as a choir girl getting banged by Pavarotti. And guess what it’s Dollar Motherfuckin’ Dog night. Hot dogs for $1. How can you go wrong? I was challenged once to a dog off, i think I got 10 or 11 down and won the contest. Unfortantely it led to be vomitting over 8 times. ...

Tom Gordon is a Shithead
That’s right Tom Gordon you point up in the air. But, you’re not pointing up to God, because God would never do the things you do. You are a giant asshole, full of shit. Congrats after pitching 0.1 of an inning you have a 135.00 ERA, that’s pretty good. You want real high ERAs right? You cocksucker. Flash Gordon? FLASH? Does that mean in a flash you can pump up the other...
