Obama's Chili Dogs Don't Bite

I'm a slacker. I knew this was going to happen. I created this blog in hopes of updating the thing every week and now 17 days later I am getting to it. Well I suppose a later update is better than no update at all. I'm trying to figure out where to start this thing today. My mind is going a million miles per hour with all the stuff I have been planning on talking about and I can't find a creative way to start this entry. Wait a minute, I think I may have an idea.

Okay I am from the Midwest and I can vividly remember going to this place that was a ripoff of Chuck E. Cheese but with a slightly different concept. You see this place served hot dogs instead of pizza and had all kinds of video games and fun stuff to do. It was also in the ghetto. Go figure. I lived in an average neighborhood but if you traveled about three miles south of where I lived, you could get jacked for your Nikes if you went down the wrong street. The name of the place I am talking about was called Diggity Dogs . With all the sketchy people walking the area where Diggity Dogs was located, nothing ever happened to anyone eating there. For some strange reason I have this feeling that Diggitys is still serving hot dogs and birthday cake to this very day. Okay now with that being said, watch this............

What a cool guy. I wasn't overly hyped on the people gunning to fill the spot of our president, but the more and more I see of Obama, I am pleasantly surprised. "Nah we straight." Did you hear that? Whether you agree or not he is connecting with the people. "Yeah nucca come up off them fries homie before the secret service busts a cap in yo ass!!" Now Obama didn't say that but I wouldn't put it past him. The reason I mention the story above is because seeing that video reminds me of being at Diggity Dogs and for just a second during my day, I forgot about everything that's bothering me. Good shit.

On to the next thing on my brain. You know what's really cool about having a shit ton of Cd's? Going through them every now and again and listening something that's been collecting dust. For some reason it sounds better than the first time you bought the album. Well to me at least. I found an old Modest Mouse album and a Radiohead EP prior to my afternoon drive to work that were buried in a sea of dusty, plastic cases. I was pretty sure I was gonna get my ass bit by a black widow going through the bins in my closet but luckily I am here and free of the anaphlaxic shock of a spider bite. Hearing this reminds me of Jason Dill's part in Photosynthesis which was insane when I first saw it. Have a listen.


That's it for this entry because I have a whole different, less serious, topic to share here in a few days. I had a recent battle with my colon, the bacteria in my colon, and the toilet. I lost all of the battles. Having a busy store plus the bottom half of a flu bug = a shitty day...literally. Until next time.
