Seriously Starbucks?!?

So the the other morning I decided to stop into Starbucks to get a bagel and a coffee. I really like the taste of their medium roast coffee "Pike Place". So I go in and only one of the employee's acknowledges me.

Before I place my order I kindly say good morning and I ask if they could put the cream cheese on the bagel for me since I was going to get back in my car and drive to work. The young gentleman who takes my order says it won't be a problem and he let's the girl who is preparing the bagel know.

Immediately out of no where comes the other employee, who never acknowledged my presence prior, and says "Just so you know, we don't put the cream cheese on the bagels. You are supposed to do it yourself." I kindly replied "I know you guys don't usually do it but I figured since I have to drive that it would be ok to ask." Do you know that this bitch had the audacity to "for future reference" me?

Honestly it took everything I had in me not to jump over the counter and shove coffee beans down her throat.  I mouth to the guy who was more than happy to help me "what a bitch". He gave me the biggest smile. That was enough for me to just take my coffee and leave.

The speech I wanted to give her would have been " you would think that at the rate that I am paying for a regular cup of coffee and bagel that you would be kissing my ass for my business. Dunkin Donuts cream cheeses the bagels and adds sugar and milk to your regular coffee at a lower price. Hell the trucks on the side of the road give better customer service than you have just presented to me. I just paid your hourly salary in one order bitch be gracious."

To be honest poppee's the reason I didn't go off on her was because it was monday morning and I didn't feel like starting off my week by getting arrested. I will tell you this though I won't be going there anymore. That Starbucks needs to get their life together!

Murdakkh - The Warm Up (Album Review)

Most of my reader's know me for my racy or outrageous posts. Today I am going to take a different approach and review a HipHop Album. This is not normally something that I do but since the artist is a friend I have no problem elevating his craft. At first, I was really apprehensive about listening. I thought, what if I don't like it? What will I tell him? I am extremely happy I decided to spend my money on this Album. It was money well spent and this is an honor for me.

*Disclaimer* Anything written will be the absolute truth. I refuse to promote anything I do not believe in. I do not want anyone to think because he is my friend that I will be biased. So here goes nothing:

Murdakkh is an up and coming artist from New Jersey who is originally from the Bronx. Murdakkh is a Marine Corps Veteran who spits rhymes like he shots a weapon. He hits the target every time. I have known him since middle school. In all honesty, sitting next to him for almost 3 years I would have never thought I would be writing a review on one of his albums.

"The Warm Up" - The title does not lie. I feel like this album will be the first of many successful albums from Murdakkh. By the title alone he is letting us know that he is just getting started. This 9 track album provides hope that HipHop lives. The album is within the realm of Lupe Fiasco and Common. Slept on, Slept on, Slept on! Not only are Murdakkh's flows hitting but all of the featuring artists shine through like stars. In my opinion there are no features! All of the artists are equal partners of greatness. The artists include P.O, Luey P. Newton, Le Double NY, JG The Vision, Red Cup Society, Butler, Twin, and Sosa. "The Warm Up" will definitely stream in my car.

 Track #3 "Flo Sick" ft Le Double NY & JGTheVision is by far one of my favorite tracks on the album. To be honestly speaking, the more I listen to the album the more all of the tracks become my favorite tracks. All of the artists on this track have a distinctive style of rhyming, accompanied by the beat, this track provides a whole lot of variety and talent.

Track #2 "You Already know"

The party animal

Ever go to a party and there is that one person who is dancing up a storm? The person I am talking about is not the show stopper. You know the person who can really dance well... No! The person I am talking about is the one that is so off beat you are wondering, Are we in the same party listening to the same music? This is the person that dances to the beat of their own drum.

Now I am all for a great time. I am the person who is usually empathetic to the the party animal. I'll dance with them to boost their confidence and do silly dances with them so they do not feel awkward. It is great when it is a stranger. But what about when it is your own child?

Today we went to my youngest sons cousin's graduation party. It was very nice. Great music, Great Company, good food etc. Well my oldest son didn't want to eat because he had already eaten a ton before we had gotten there but instead he decided he wanted to dance. I am the type of parent that likes to let my kids have fun and find themselves. Well! My son is the party animal.

My daughter sat next to me totally embarrassed saying oh my goodness he is so embarrassing. I laughed and let him have a good time. Eventually I felt a little embarrassed. There was this little boy who had to be 9 and this kid was dancing like he was one of the lead dancers of a Chris Brown Video. So I tried to go to my sons rescue. Do you know that this kid had the nerve to run from me on the dance floor? I was trying to save him from his off beat pop lock and twisty two step wobbly leg.

That's when it hit me. He doesn't ever want to learn how to dance like everyone else. He loves being a party animal who dances to the beat of his own drum. I just hope he gets it together by High school. If not some girl will be really embarrassed at prom. :)

Do you know folks who are party animals? What is your reaction to them?

Not in my bath.

 I am letting you know that I am in no way shape or form promoting nor have I ever promoted the use of illegal drugs. This blog is to inform you of the dangers of this new designer drug.
 
So I have been seeing and reading about crazy things going on in the world in the news. Drug users and creators have taken "getting high" to a scary level. The newest Craze, and I do not say that lightly, is something called Bath Salts. People high on Bath Salts are said to be dangerous. Ask those people who have gotten eaten, killed and gotten their faces bitten off.


Designer drugs are drugs that are made in labs kind of like Crystal Meth. These drugs are extremely dangerous because they are "experiments". Bath Salts are the new thing on the street. So far all of the reports in the news regarding cannibalism have been linked to bath salts. At first I thought oh no Bath and Body works will be out of business because people are getting high on bath salts. Something told me to perform some research. The bath Salts people are using to get high and literally eat each other are not found in Bath and Body Works. They are sold in smoke shops with intriguing names like Ivory Wave, Bolivian Bath.

Like I said before I do not promote the use of drugs. I don't know what I would do if I saw someone coming at me foaming at the face trying to eat me. I mean this is some real Zombie, night of the living dead type shit. Maybe I need to legally purchase some shot guns and silver bullets. Wait I think Silver Bullets are for werewolves. You see how outrageous this shit is? People are actually walking around getting high and Eating other people. I know the economy is bad but damn son. Don't eat Juinor an'em. I apologize I had to go on a ghetto rant.


Could you imagine tho? And you thought crackheads were bad for stealing all your stuff and doing the dope man lean in the middle of the street. These bathheads will literally eat you! Ok I am done.

JUST SAY NO TO DRUGS KIDS. You might get high on the wrong shit with your friends and end up their dinner.
