A Burger for the Ages!

Michelle took me out to this place she went with her co-workers for our 1 year last week. Good thing she knows there is nothing better than a juicy burger! Gotta give it to a girl who was a vegetarian up until this summer (eats chicken only now) taking the ol' ball and chain out to a Meat filled Man Burger Bar Meat restaurant. We coulda done that whole Italian dinner with wine and whatnot but this was much more delicious! 2 Thumbs Up and grinning from ear to ear.

Moral of the story. I got the Entourage Burger which is a meaty 10 oz burger in between 2 Grilled cheeses! Praise the heavens! I know Friendly's had a similar burger but I never got around to trying it. This thing was amazing. Top 3 burgers I've ever had. The only other burger I think I can readily throw into my top 3 would be the Double Burger from Shake Shack in the city/Citi Field.

Oh, and the fries came in a little mini deep fryer basket. Too Cool. Too Cool. Burgers sat around anywhere from $12-$15 but they are worth every dollar. And for those classy individuals, they have $2 Pabst Tall boys to accompany your sandwich. No big...

Well This Sucks...

There seems to be a trend with New England teams falling short these days. Patriots lost last night to the F*$%# Jets of all teams. The Celtics lost to the Lakers in the Finals last year. Pats lost in the first round to the Ravens last year. Sox have looked like shit. I'll even go as far back as the Giants beating the Pats in the Superbowl but the Celts did take care of business that year. Just a lot of disappointment. Maybe the Celtics can cheer me up...or the Bruins for that matter. They've been looking good as of late.

So for now, life sucks. Let's Go Packers! My brother would be proud...

A friend got me to listen to the album and I couldn't be more impressed by it. Check it out

New England

I live in Massachusetts. Massachusetts is in an elite club called New England. Crazy right? Being smack dab in the middle I want to call on a few points and determine just which states are better than the others.

1. New Hampshire
Pro's - Skiing, Tax Free!, "Live Free or Die" Motto, Awesome camping and hiking, Nice beach even though it has the smallest coastline of any state in the US., Liquor barns!
Con's - cold ass beach water

2. Massachusetts

Pro's -  Die hard sports (Pats, Celts, Bruins, Sox), Six Flags, Sick Accents, Awesome rest stops on 84 and 90

Con's - Western Mass. Totes the awkward turtle in the room

3. Vermont

Pro's -  Some of the best skiing in the Northeast, Maple syrup...duh even though I enjoy Mrs. Buttersworth

Con's - Tough to get around

4. Rhode Island

Pro's - Scenic coast and mansions

Con's - Small as hell

5. Maine

Pro's -  Some pretty elite ski resorts

Con's - It takes forever to drive through

6. Connecticut

Pro's - Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun

Con's - Gives New England a bad name

I'm moving to New Hampshire. Be back later.

I went skiing today at Gunstock in the lovely lakes region of New Hampshire. This isn't gonna be a skiing blog because I just want to touch upon a little thing called courtesy. One thing I've always liked about coming home is being amongst normal people. I get to hear the accents, people hold doors open and don't slam it in your face. I can't tell you how many times in New York that I go to hold the door for someone and the look on their face is of utter shock, as if I was handing them free money. Same thing goes for driving, no one beeps here. People will let you go and you will get a wave back. Good luck finding stuff like that in NY. People have their heads up their asses. I've come to that conclusion. Everyone is a stress freak and just being in Westchester reminds me of how unnecessarily stressful life has to be.

Getting back to Gunstock, I was heading back to the lodge to get some grub so I took of my gaiter (it covers your neck, kinda like a sick ass face turtle neck). Well after eating, I noticed it was missing. I figured I must have dropped it somewhere in the lodge. After searching everywhere, I headed back outside to face what was going to be a few more runs of face numbing wind burn. And as I step outside, courtesy smacks me in the face. Someone had taken the time to pick up my gaiter and place it noticeably on a ski pole rack. Now I know I may be a little crazy for taking something as silly as a gaiter and turning it into a blog rant but it made me stop and think of just how classy and cool people from around here are. Straight up chill. Just the way I like it. People in NY need to chill the f out and take a nice vacation or something. Do it for all of us. Take a deep breath. Goosfraba
