Maple Hts Waterfall....

Ladies & Gents, this pic is brought to you by a fellow blogger, Ajae. Everyone give her a shout out for capturing this Maplett Waterfall. I'm assuming the pic was taken at a local bar in the Heights, but I could be mistaken. Ajae, please elaborate on this particular mullet......what was he drinking....did he have a lady friend...was he dangerous, hostile, volitile, or cool, calm & collected?? Inquiring minds want to know!!!!!

Express Lane Mullet

Fellow bloggers, I'm here at the West Five Two burning the midnight oil. I was in the local grocery store last night picking up some ingredients and found myself behind this mullet in the express lane. Whoever invented the camera phone is a damn genius (if you keep up w/ the blog you'll know that I recently acquired and up-to-date cell a few months back)!!!!! As you can probably gather from this pic, this particular mullet is very tame in nature and of small stature. He has the distinguished salt & pepper look going, and it's not a man purse over his shoulder, but a sling. Perhaps a nasty brawl of sorts at a local west side hole in the wall.......Grilly's.....ABC.....B&G??? Never judge a book by it's cover, this mullet could be ferocious when intoxicated and/or high on illicit substances. His cart contained a jug o' milk, a large can of tomato sauce, two cans of Chef Boyardee Beef-a-Roni & a bag of some sort of produce or fruit. A most excellent trip to the grocery.

Peace out,

People Suck

Yes, that's right, I've decided that people suck. Men, women, children, they all suck. I was spit at today by a young boy on his bike on the corner of Abbey Rd & Columbus. Luckily for him I was in my vehicle and he missed. I did nothing to provoke this behavior, and if I wasn't in my right mind, I would have got out and kicked his little white trash no shoes/shirt wearing ass. Fucker.

Saturday boarding the Rapid on my commute home, I accidently bumped into a woman carrying an oversized box, and if looks could kill, I'd be dead. She scoffed at me when I was being nice & apologizing. It was too much for me to handle, I shouted "Damn, I said I was sorry, what the fuck?" She said nothing and kept moving. It's not like I knocked her to the floor and stood over top of her laughing or better yet, spitting at/on her. I mean, come on people, seriously.

Today at orientation/fire safety I got stuck sitting in front of the belligerent new employee that will probably get canned only to return with an AK47 and open fire in the cafeteria. Nothing could go right for her....they didn't have her badge, she didn't need benefits (cause she was on her mom's plan...grow the fuck up), the presentation ran over 5 minutes, and she was huffing and puffing as if she was the only one that was hungry and had to piss.

This world has become overly aggressive, violent, cold, and malicious. I want no parts of it anymore. I have but one phrase to leave with you all.....
SIMMER DOWN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peace out,

Random Pics

I was going through the pics on my computer and felt compelled to put some of them up for your enjoyment (well, mainly mine). You all know I grew up in New Jersey, Pennsville to be exact. But I bet you never thought about how small of a hick town it really is, seeing that I'm so cool and all. Well, this was my bus stop growing up. I was feeling a bit nostalgic so I thought I'd share.

Salexis and I set out on a bike excursion Saturday evening to photograph industrial Cleveland. We saw some interesting sights, including some guy standing amongst a bunch of trash under some building w/ his pants down, luckily he was wearing boxers, but I don't even want to venture a guess at what the fuck he was doing there. Salexis swore she saw Michael Meyer's face in someone's window. I just think it's her paranoia developing into a mental illness. It's okay Salexis, I'm experienced in working with this population, not only do you have a friend, you have a therapist that will play stress management bingo with you if need be. Anywho, this is a shot of her trying to peddle up one of the many hills of Tremont. Shortly after this pic was taken, someone tried to hijack her bike while we were at Lava. Fucking ghetto ass Tremont. Luckily Taj was there to fix the bike.

This next shot was taken at Ingenuity last month. I'm pretty sure this is J-Ho's soon to be father-in-law. At least we know he jams. Maybe he and I can get a drum circle going at the wedding reception.

I was strongly urged not to put this photo up by a fellow blogger who shall remain nameless. But I'm putting it up. It's blue sweater dude at Ingenuity, and he was running around like a nut during the opening drum ceremony. He's everywhere that has a slight hippie vibe. I'm pretty sure I saw him up on MLK yesterday, engaged in a drum circle. I almost stopped, but I knew it was him, and didn't want to have to have a conversation with him. Enjoy.

Peace out,

R-10 w/ Some Random Thoughts

It's been a while since I've thrown down an R-10. So I'm going to do so, just after I get some random thoughts out. Game night at Salexis' was great last night. I have some pics, but who knows if they'll ever make it up here! Turns out the guy I had been seeing was really just playing me to get someone else's attention, and he rejected me via text messaging. Can I get "Fuck You" from my readers? Thanks. So I've decided that I'm done with dating, again. Really, I just can't stand this shit. I wouldn't call myself bitter, although I do have that bite to me right now, I'd just call myself fed up. Yes, that's it, I'm fed up. On a different note, I start my new job next week, and I'm feeling a high level of anxiety, which is not like me at all. I keep wondering if this is the right decision, am I going to be happy, etc., etc. Whatever....On w/ the ten:

1. It's Raining Men - The Weather Girls from Pure Disco Vol. 2. Oh hell to the no, see above.

2. Tinseltown To The Boogiedown - Mos Def from We Are Hip Hop Disc 2. This album comes via Silk E's collection, much love.

3. Same Old Thing - The Meters from Struttin. Another album via Silk, these guys are funky, I love them.

4. Press On - Mary J. Blige from Love & Life. I'm with u Mary, I hear ya. Just tryin' to stay right while the world is sooo wrong. New Zealand here I come.

5. Einstein's Takin' Off - Ugly Duckling from an UD mix I made. This group is the shit, anyone whole appreciates hip-hop will enjoy these guys. I think they're from the west coast, and they do a lot of touring in Europe.

6. Out Of My Mind - James Blunt from Back To Bedlam. I'm still trying to decide if I like this guy or not.

7. Come On And Love Me - Lenny Kravitz from Are You Gonna Go My Way. Probably one of my favorite songs on this album. I'd love to learn the beat, I've tried, but there is some odd time going on in this track.

8. Yes - Black Sheep from A Wolf In Sheep's Clothes. Nice old school jam/group for that azz.

9. Dispatch The Troops - Matisyahu from Youth. The Jewish reggae dude, I gotta say, he's damn good.

10. See That Woman - ???? from my self-made disc entitled The Dope Shit. This is an electronic remix of a Nina Simone song. I like.

Well bloggers, that's it for now. And one final thought....dude just texted me asking "how much do u hate me..." I will not entertain him by answering, but all I have to say is WTF? Seriously.

Peace out,

Canoe + Cheese = Good Times

Let me start off by saying it's hotter than a Haitian hostage camp right now. I'll sum this up quickly or else I might suffer a heat stroke right here in my office.

Sunday Klassy Kate, A-Fuzz, and myself decided to go down to Mohican Adventures and rent a canoe for a 7 mile/2 hour tour. It was a pleasant drive, lots of clouds, but we were lucky enough to miss the rain. We paid our fees, used it, grabbed our vests & paddles, and off we went down the river.

Things started off a tad fast, we climbed into our canoe and before we A-Fuzz and myself could coordinate our paddle strokes, we found ourselves traveling sideways down the first bout of rapids. In attempts to turn around, we managed to turn backwards and crash into a downed tree on the side of the river. At this point, I'm in the back laughing while the others are trying to figure out how to get us out safely.

We got wedged under the tree, and all of a sudden the canoe started to fill with water. Me, captain obvious yells, "There's water coming in the boat, we're gonna sink," while still laughing. I then realize my bookbag is behind me and about to float down river, all along holding my camera/cell phone/wallet in a plastic freezer bag. All I could think of was my new cell phone getting shorted out under the water. I grabbed the bag, and at this point we were sinking!!!

Now, I'm not the person to have with you in times of crisis, because all I do is laugh. I am of no assistance what-so-ever!!!! Klassy Kate & A. Fuzz began pushing off the tree to dislodge the canoe, and nearly dislodged A. Fuzz's leg. All the while I'm still laughing. We all jumped out of the canoe, and holy hell, some guy and his kid come crashing down the rapids and nearly smash into us.

We attempted to lift the canoe to get the water out, but it was very difficult seeing that only 2 of the 3 people were able to help. Eventually it worked and we got back on track (mind you, we had been in the canoe for less than 10 minutes). Most of the water was out of the canoe, but Klassy Kate go to enjoy her own person kiddie pool (a.k.a. ass bath) while sitting in the middle of the vessel.

The rest of the trip went smoothly. We enjoyed the scenery as well as the kids screaming, "How many more miles Mom?" as we passed them by. We were all soaked at the end of the trip, climbed into the Jeep, and headed back up to the land of Cleve.

We had to make a pit-stop and Grandpa's Cheese Barn, and yes, grandpa was there, working the cash register. Our free-loading asses didn't buy a damn thing, but we tasted every sample they had out. My personal favorites were the habanero pickles and the cheese w/ cranberries!!!!! YUM.

There you have it bloggers, our trip to Mohican. And if you're all wondering, the zip-lock freezer bag did it's job, and nothing on the inside was wet!!!! Hell to the yeah!!!!
