I had a really weird dream last week about "motivation".

One of the Baldwins were lecturing me on how to stay motivated in life. He was asking me what I wanted out of life. I said, "I dunno". He said, "You have to want something. Whatever it is you want, think about the actions you need to take to reach that goal." Then I saw him stealing my red envelopes from Chinese New Year. I started punching him in the side, and he told me that I passed the test. He said I needed to speak up.

Rush
Pull me under
The world is at my feet
It’s no wonder

Your eyes speak to me
They tell me be calm
They tell me be strong

Swimming out so deep
Now I can’t breathe
And it’s exactly where I belong

Cause it feels like a run of a lifetime
And nothing’s gonna save us now
Let the waves come crashing down

Cause it feels like I’m right for the first time
And everytime I take you in
I feel my heart skip a beat again

I am drowning in your love
Cause I’m drowning in your love

Love
It’s taking over
There is no in between till I find me some cover

The tide is coming, I dont know if I can take it
I lose my focus, lose my focus
With every breath I feel my inhibition breaking
I can’t control it, no no no…

Cause it feels like a ride of a lifetime
And nothing’s gonna save us now
Let the waves come crashing down

Cause it feels like I’m right for the first time
And everytime I take you in
I feel my heart skip a beat again
I’m drowning in your love

Their conversation after J comes home:

J: Oh . . . the apartment looks clean.

V: We spent 3 hours cleaning this place!

J: Really? It didn't look like a 3 hour job. I would have cleaned it in 1.

V: Really now J? You're telling me you would have done what we did in 3 hours in 1 hour? :::rolls eyes:::

Me: Damn J. That is not what you say to your gf after she spent hours cleaning while you were out drinking!

A review for Primehouse, a steakhouse that I recently ate at:

2/5 Stars

I came here last month for brunch for the first time. We were promptly sat, and I ordered coffee to start and my date ordered orange juice.

The bread that came out was pretty good and the butter was soft and velvety.

I ended up ordering my go-to breakfast: blueberry pancakes, and my date ordered a burger with fries. I wasn't very impressed by the pancakes. They weren't soft or fluffy. My date didn't like the burger either. My sister tells me she had a great experience here and likes the food, but I don't think I'll be coming back. Maybe I'll come back for dinner to give it a fair chance.

Seriously? You go to a STEAK HOUSE, order something that is NOT steak, and decide to share your useless opinion with the world? How will your review help future steak eating consumers? Do you think I'm looking at Yelp reviews of a steak house because I'm interested in how their fucking pancakes taste? Also, how does this reviewer say that she'll never come back here, directly followed by saying that she might come back here to give it another chance? Make up your mind buddy.

Shitty reviews like this are everywhere on Yelp. Some self-entitled, self-proclaimed foodie brat who feels slighted in the most trivial way will put an establishment on blast. It's okay if a place has a track record of doing whatever it is they do that pisses customers off, but if you're one of those outlier reviews complaining about something, then sometimes it might just be you.

I also find it very annoying when people on Yelp feel the need to give us a long-winded background story on why they were there. Nobody cares that you were there for your grandmother's 80th birthday celebration, especially if it's more than one sentence long. Your grandmother just isn't that important to us. Tell us about the food, the ambiance and the service.

And that right there might be the thing. People don't just want to do that. People fancy themselves as some experts of some sort and write these hopelessly verbose reviews. Maybe secretly everyone on Yelp wanted to be writer at some point in their lives and are living that out one review at a time.

On the flip side, I guess it's nice to see that people are enthusiastic about their food.

The stuff that does not surprise me are generally search terms having to do with Brazilian jiu jitsu and tattoos or search terms related to the videos or articles I post up.

Occasionally though, there will be some interesting ones.

"white hipsters 1940s"

I don't know man. I think folks were too busy worrying about a little something called WORLD WAR 2 so they probably didn't have time to bike around everywhere drinking PBRs and shit.

"star trek retard"

I'm glad we are not friends. I take great offense to this.

"ill slay you"

I hope this is referencing a song title or something. Otherwise it's creepy.

"retarded white rabbit"

I'm a little disheartened that another search term that includes "retard" leads to my blog. WTF google?!

"plush octopus chair"

I find it weird that someone specifically wants a plush octopus chair. I hope you found what you were looking for though.

"what asains have the best pussys ?"

I'm honored that google thinks my blog might be a good source for this kind of information.

Selena Gomez - Love You Like A Love Song (Ken C Remix)

Calvin Harris - Feel So Close

At least I made it back injury-free.

Anyway, the night before the trip to Killington, V helps J pack all his things for his trip because he was coming home late. A very sweet, loving thing.

[J gets home and plops his drunk self on to the couch]

V: I packed all your things for your trip. Go and double check to make sure everything is there.

J: I don't know how to.

V: What do you mean you don't know how to?
