Close Encounters of The Real People Kind 3: The Rollerskate Kid

So I think this story is pretty funny, but I feel like its one of those "You had to be there" type stories, but I'm gonna try my best to make it so that you're their too. So that you can giggle about this odd little happenstance in my life. (not sure if happenstance is the right word here, but it seems to fit I think.)

Anyway I was walking around with my friend, who I was visiting because he lives close to my school and this was during the summer. We were just walking to the train station because I had to go home and somehow we got stuck behind this kid with rollerskates. Now this kid seemed like he was having a lot of fun on his roller skates, but he clearly did not know how to use rollerskates. He was so slow and he was about to fall down, and I was late for the train... and it was just kind of funny.

Where the hell were these kids parents? Did he just sneak out of the house? Were they there with him and he was just "so fast on his rollerskates" that he was so far ahead of them? I mean it's Newark, it isn't like its the safest city in the entire world! And this kid was totally about to fall.

And another funny thing about the situation is that its damn near impossible to go on a nice walk in Newark, New Jersey, or really any city probably. I mean anytime you want to be alone and go for a nice walk, chances are you'll see someone crazy, someone will be blasting songs like "Ass Like That" or "Magic Stick" and it will smell like skunks. So I guess in comparison, kid on rollerskates not quite as bad, but still its pretty funny.

Anyway, like I said it was kind of a "you had to be there" moment, but this is my blog. I was there and I find it entertaining so this blog is really just for me, and if you like it too then good for you Glen Coco, you go Glen Coco.

Tomorrow I'm going to try to make up a story or poem or something I think. If I can'r do that I'll figure somethin out, but thats the plan.

Anyway lemme know if you like me and if you like this blog. Tell your friends to read it so that they think I'm cool too and yeah. Just do stuff and live because we don't have many other options do we now?

Byeeeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
