Yep, I am paraphrasing an old song from 80's rap group Whodini and yep, this past week ended up being even more eventful than I was expecting. Monday was dull so let me skip ahead to Tuesday. I went with someone I know to a restaurant. Recently we had a choice of eating somewhere in a plaza and an Ale House restaurant was one of the choices but it was packed so we ate somewhere else. On this day we ate at another one and it was far less busy. It's mainly a Florida chain that has a wood motif and shows sporting events on their TV's. It usually has at least decent food.
Wednesday, one of the pieces of mail that came was an advertisement saying that a new Goodwill store was open, and only a few miles from where I live. I decided to check it out in an early evening as I had actually never been in one before. No, I was not inspired by that no-talent hack Macklemore and his love of Thrift Shops, nor did I go there to try and look for old clothing and dress like a damn hipster. I did get shirts, but one was from Ralph Lauren and the other was Banana Republic and hey, both were only a few bucks each so I got them even if I am usually not a label whore kind of person. I also got some shirts that will now be PJ shirts for me. So it was a nice place to go to.
Thursday was dull so let me skip ahead to Friday and whoo boy was this ever the highlight of the past week. I decided to go to good old Ghost Bar & Lounge as I hadn't been there in a few weeks. It was the same old same old there, which is good. They showed sporting events on the TV, which in this case meant the NBA playoffs. A cover band played and after that a DJ spun tunes, from dance to top 40 to even some older songs. I wasn't expecting to hear The Breaks from Kurtis Blow but I did on Friday night and that was awesome. There was a new cover band this time and well, they weren't as polished as the usual group. Hopefully with time they'll be on the same level.
Early on I was drinking a beer and sitting upstairs when suddenly, a blonde lady in a little black dress who appeared to be the 5th wheel with a pair of couples decided to walk in front of me and started dancing... then literally backed that ass up and pretty much humped my leg! Throughout the time she was there she would come back and start dancing in front of me and a little later humped my leg again. However, she acted in this forward a manner with more than a few different guys there, which didn't make me feel so special... still, I enjoyed it! She ended up leaving with some random guys and I don't even know if she said goodbye to her pals. I got the impression that she was rather drunk.
A little after that, a random brunette (I'll cal her S) decided to sit and briefly chat with me. It would have been longer but her friend K dragged her away. Still, I appreciated the gesture. I have a feeling she was drunk too. Near the end of the night I was sitting downstairs when suddenly another random brunette decided to dance in front of me. I was surprised as this isn't something that usually happens to me at the clubs, to say the least. This lady-once again, I'll presume she was intoxicated-then decided to sit right on my lap and she bounced up and down on my... well, you know... and unfortunately I never got the chance to talk to these dancing queens at all.
Soon before I left I experienced something odd... a GUY grabbed my ass. Yes. A minute later, he gave me a big hug and this was all for the amusement of his Troglodyte friends and for the sake of a picture taken via iPhone. Eh, I won't get mad over those losers and cretins; if they think acting that way is appropriate, they are hopeless and I doubt there's much that can be done to give any of them a triple digit IQ, you know. They're just lame and while they do deserve to get spat in their face for acting that way, I won't let it bother me. Even with that I had a great time there. Who knows when I'll be able to return.
Saturday night, UFC time. As in, pay per view time so against my better judgment I went to Buffalo Wild Wings, where I usually get mad at how the management runs things. But, the food is good, they have huge TV's and the actual staff usually is good. This time around, my problem with them... during the pay per view, the volume was LOUD. I mean, deafening. I may have suffered permanent hearing damage, which is just fantastic. What wasn't fantastic was the UFC show, from the prelims to the actual pay per view. Some parts were fine but it was just a bad show overall, AND it was strange too, with various odd things happening such as several real bad injuries.
Sunday, I went and got the new Pizza Hut Crazy Cheesy Crust Pizza. It sounded interesting. Eh, it was fine but to be perfectly honest, their old Stuffed Crust Pizza was better. I am not being “that guy”; that is honestly how I feel.
I'll be back a week from today. Nothing is planned yet. I won't be going to downtown Orlando and there aren't any UFC events at all for the next few weeks. I'll stumble into something to talk about, as I always do. A little later I'll be at the dentist to have a filling put in on the root canal tooth, but I know that'll be an easy process so I doubt I'll say much about that next week.

The Blog Where I Saw The Village People Perform Live In 2013
The title of this blog really says it all. Since my last blog there isn't too much to talk about. AT least one of the days was unusual.
Last Wednesday I had the evening free so I went to Winter Garden Village to go to Gamestop to get some more Microsoft Points then I ended up at Planet Smoothie to get their new Leafy Green drink that has some fruits along with the title substance. Thursday was uneventful, Saturday I watched all of the UFC show (on Facebook, FX and then Fox) and it was really good, and Sunday what I did was watch the first Star Trek movies. Yeah, I know I am so cool and know how to have a good Sunday...
So, let me talk about what I did on Friday. I had free time so I went to Walt Disney World. Heh heh heh. I picked out Epcot to go to as they have their annual Flower & Garden Festival during the spring; along with the Food & Wine Festival in the fall during the weekend they have musical performances from artists of the past. They perform for a half hour three times a day. In the past I've seen the likes of Chubby Checker, Hanson, Boyz II Men and Sugar Ray sing, although I only stuck around to listen to Chubby. They also have 60's artists that are still alive and kicking and performing. Well, beforehand I did know that THE VILLAGAE PEOPLE would be playing there this past weekend and I figured it would be high comedy to go and watch them perform. Sure, most of the people in the group weren't there during their heyday, but you wouldn't believe how popular that act was on Friday. Their performance was pretty much what you'd expect. They played their most popular songs and two surprising covers, the first being the 60's hit Gimme Some Lovin' then You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) from Sylvester, a late artist that was even more flamboyantly gay than the Village People. The audience enjoyed the show; I am glad I saw it because the whole thing was very amusing and it gave me something to talk about here.
As for the rest of my time there... I can tell you that the new system they have in place for scanning tickets for park entry... it sucks and it doesn't even work! What a massive hassle, especially considering that what they had for years seemed to work fine-enough for the most part. Why try to fix it when it wasn't broken? As for Test Track-which I was real disappointed with once I saw its new remodeled version-it is not as confusing as it first was but again, not everything worked and it doesn't give me much encouragement to go on it again anytime soon. Other than that, though, it was a nice time at Epcot. I got some candy from both the Japan and Germany areas and I had tasty treats to eat from several different areas. I sat by the Canada area to eat a chicken nuggets/fries dinner from a nearby booth, and I got to hear parts of the Scottish/Canadian act Off-Kilter, an act that has played there for years and I know my mom is a big fan of them. Also while eating dinner I saw a family with two young girls and unfortunately, it is noteworthy when I see a family there and I notice the children actually behave and listen to their parents and not whine or talk back or cry for whatever reasons. I certainly saw enough whining and crying from other children. I also had the Dole Pineapple Whip; I've had it before but let me tell you, that is a great concoction. It was nice to go to one of the theme parks as I think it was my first time at one in a few months.
I'll be back a week from today with my next blog. That should be more eventful than what I wrote here. I have several things in mind in terms of activities to do.

I Had A Root Canal & All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt
Yeah, I am referencing how last week when I went and had the abscess in my tooth drained I literally got a t-shirt from them, and it was perfect for a blog title.
I really have little to say even with the root canal today, but at least I did remember that when I typed up my last blog me feeling ill made me forget a few things, so catching up with that will fill up some time. I actually did not have the best of times on Thursday the 4th. I went to Winter Garden Village to eat dinner. I first went to Red Robin as I still hadn't eaten at that location before; after this night I still hadn't! It was busy there but there was a spot at the bar available. I sat and waited for the lady bartender to give me any sort of attention, even “Hello, can you hang on a minute?”, but nope, nothing for more than 5 minutes. I gave up and left, as why should I be treated that way? I then walked on over a few spots to Jersey Mike's, a recent place to the area but there are some other locations across Orlando. I got food, but the people who worked there... really stupid, AND I had some dudebro type who I am pretty sure shit-talked me as I know his girlfriend hit him and I am pretty sure I figured out the reason why. At least I had no problems when I went on over to Cold Stone Creamery and had some ice cream.
Sunday the 7th, I ended up watching most of Wrestlemania, via less than ethical means. I know, I know, but that night I was hurtin' and I needed some entertainment so I went and saw that. The Wrestlemania I saw last year live in Miami was better, and that show was hit or miss. Big time pro wrestling is just pretty atrocious for the most part, and that is a crying shame as it's been that way for years. I miss the good old days of watching it when I was growing up then became a young adult.
Now that I am caught up, Wednesday through Friday were rather uneventful, aside from Wednesday evening where I went and picked up a parent from the Orlando International Airport. As expected the traffic was a hassle and a half and boy were there some maniac drivers going way over the speed limit. I saw one going too fast AND texting on their phone at the same time. Talk about dangerous, not to mention pretty stupid. I was going to eat at Larry's Giant Subs as it's not that far from the airport and I rarely make it out that way. Right as I got there, I got a call saying the plane got there early so I had to leave to pick them up. We ended up eating at a nearby Five Guys, as it was on the way home.
Other than that, the highlight was me going to Walmart one night. Now, I felt fine after I had the abscess drained last Tuesday. I just felt like not doing a lot, you know. Saturday was also pretty dull although at least in the evening I saw some free UFC action with the main card being on FX. That was good times. Sunday was the day of excitement, relatively speaking. I went to the Florida Mall to look around for a bit and I hadn't been there in a few months. After that I was going to go to the MovieStop in the area, but when I got there, that location had closed down. At least there are a few other of those stores around Orlando. After that I finally got the chance to eat at Larry's Giant Subs. Good stuff. If only they had a location closer to where I live.
Monday was pretty dull too; I did feel bad for all that went on in Boston, needless to say. I have been in that area a few times before in my life and while navigating the city is a nightmare due to how the city was designed back in the colonial times, overall it is an interesting area with a lot of history to it. Now, onto today and the big root canal procedure... which was not bad at all. They took quite a few x-rays, numbed the area, then did the procedure and I felt no pain at all. Right now the numbing has worn off and it only feels a little bit sore. It is no big deal at all. I am glad that it was easier than expected. When I had the abscess drained last Tuesday, that was a more painful procedure. The kind Asian man who performed the work today said a hilarious thing to me; he noticed how last week that part of my jaw was swollen as if I was from a David Cronenberg movie; today he saw that the swelling was gone and he was surprised; he then said that I “was like Wolverine”! What a comparison that will only happen one time in my life.
Now that the tooth issue is over with (aside from having my regular dentist fill the hole created today; a standard thing), I will be back Monday the 22nd in the afternoon, back to usual for me. Who knows what I'll write about, though.

The Blog Where I Shock The Monkey & Wear My Sunglasses At Night
Earlier tonight I heard both of those songs on the same radio station within a few minutes of each other, so I figured that would make an appropriate title as I can't think of anything else to use for a title. I feel dead tired now (the lack of sleep the past few days has caught up with me; the pills I am taking probably doesn't help there either) so that is why this is going up later than I had planned in the evening.
There isn't too much to say before today that I did not say in the blog I posted yesterday. Monday through Thursday were rather dull; I mean, the most noteworthy thing that comes to mind is me going to McDonalds one night to get dinner. Yeah, really. If I can't remember anything else then it must not have been important. Friday, that's when I went to Downtown Disney to the giant screen they have at the AMC Theatres there to watch Jurassic Park in 3D. Like I said yesterday, I enjoyed it back then and I still enjoyed it in 2013. The sequels, I don't feel the same way about. Saturday night, I went to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch some college basketball and have dinner there. I also know that Batch 19 (from Coors) is good, and so is Budweiser Black Crown.
Last night I just stayed home and watched random TV, including halfway paying attention to the NCAA basketball championship, as there wasn't much else on. So let me talk about today and visiting that dental specialist. There was no root canal; at the moment that is scheduled for next Tuesday, so next Tuesday night I'll post my next blog to talk about that experience. All that happened today was that I gave that office my information, they took some x-rays, then the pus that I had built up was drained. I'll spare the details on the last part as I know it is pretty gross. The cost of that was more than expected, and boy was I shocked when I saw what the root canal would cost. It's a lot of money! At least I did get a bag full of free crap, including a t-shirt. On the back it has in camouflage colors, “I survived a root canal”, making it sound like the experience is similar to surviving boot camp. That does not improve my enthusiasm in having to have that procedure done. At least the swelling has gone down and it doesn't even hurt too much anymore. If I wasn't so exhausted I'd almost feel alright.
Like I said, I'll be back a week from today. It will likely be a not so long blog as I'll likely lay pretty low for the most part while I am dealing with that issue.

This Is The Story Of A Terrible Toothache
Yes, I am referencing the opening line to the 2000 song Absolutely (Story of a Girl) by Nine Days, because for some reason it popped into my head. Plus, it makes me feel old because that song is 13 years old.
I know, this isn't the usual blog for me but something unusual happened to me on Friday night and to use the now-popular Internet catch phrase, things escalated quickly. The first part of this was written Sunday night and the last part was written soon before I decided to post this.
On Friday night I was in a movie theatre watching Jurassic Park 3D. That was a great experience as I enjoyed the movie when I saw it on the big screen 20 years ago and thankfully it still holds up well today. While watching it, though, I noticed that there was a little ache in my tooth. I've had it happen before (always during the weekend so I have to wait until Monday to see the dentist) and eventually it went away before I had the opportunity to go to the dentist. Saturday night it hurt more but I still wasn't worried yet. I would just visit the dentist Monday morning for an unscheduled visit. Today, the pain was still there and now, there began swelling. I tried not to worry about it but now, yeah I am starting to worry. I have never had anything like this happen to me before. I imagine I won't get a great night's sleep tonight; then again I could say the same thing about Friday and Saturday night.
Alright, so now I am writing this Monday afternoon. I did indeed make the trip to the dentist's office as soon as I could, so it was in the middle of the morning. They took a look at it and figured what I did after looking online last night, which was that somehow the tooth got infected and yeah, a root canal is real likely in my near future. You can probably figure out how thrilled I am about having such a procedure done, but I suppose if that's the only way to fix it... I was referred to an Asian dental specialist, but not the same Asian dental specialist whom I had to visit in late 2010 to have a tooth pulled. I would have seen him today but he was out of the office so I'll be seeing him tomorrow afternoon. Once I meet him I'll know what will happen next. It may get fluid drained out of it, or maybe the dental surgery would happen ASAP, I do not know yet.
In the meanwhile, I was given a pair of prescriptions, which I got as soon as I was able to. I got some Penicillin to curb the swelling (it has already worked) and I was given a pain medication, hydrocodone. Thankfully that was pretty cheap and the Penicillin was free. It has already worked and it is not as swollen as it was, although it is still sore. That is a relief, the swelling going down. That was what had me panicked the most Sunday night through Monday morning. Once I got back from getting those pills, I watched TV for a bit before napping for a few hours, and once I woke up I've been bumming around online.
I'll be back tomorrow night to talk about what happened with me meeting that specialist and I'll also recap what I did in the past week aside from the tooth issues.

Loose Cannons, Boiling Water, & HasBromances
As usual the first few days of my week from Monday through Sunday weren't so thrilling but by the time it got close to the weekend and the weekend itself, business picked up. No, I won't be doing any April Fool's Day jokes as that day is just lame and stupid. Everything I will say here is true.
Monday through Thursday weren't too entertaining. One day I went to Walmart to purchase some items-including sodas-and another day I used a coupon to have a cheap meal at Burger King, but other than that the main thing to note is that for two weeks in a row something went wrong and where I live at, water had to be boiled for a set amount of time, the first time one day and the next, two days. I know, a First World Problem but still annoying to have to boil a pot of water and use it through the day for such things as brushing your teeth. I also watched on Blu-Ray the first G.I. Joe movie, as I had never seen it before and yet I was interested in the sequel. I saw the original, and wow did I NOT like it. Just horrible and painful all around.
Friday, I went in the evening to Downtown Disney to see the G.I. Joe sequel. They were showing it on their giant screen so I figured if I would see it, might as well be there. I saw the film with a smaller than expected crowd and while I thought it was better than the first, it doesn't mean it was a great film by any means. Chaotic action (not always in a good way), a nonsensical script and especially the putrid dialogue throughout sink the film. The movie might as well have been called G.I. Bro due to the bro factor throughout. This is especially true with the bromance (or rather, HasBromance) going on with The Rock's character and Channing Tatum's character; what a painfully bad relationship with those characters, by the way. At least The Rock was The Rock and there were some nice moments... and I don't mean looking at Adrianne Palicki.
I guess those movies just aren't for me. Admittedly, if I ever got the courage to watch a Transformers movie in full I'd get more angry and upset than even by the first G.I. Joe motion picture, but don't think that all sorts of intelligence-insulting movies aren't for me, as I actually enjoyed Fast Five despite its stupidity and the sixth looks to be more of the same. After the movie I walked next door to Splitsville to watch some college basketball and have some food. Oh, and I also had a frozen alcoholic drink, because why not? That was an entertaining few hours.
Saturday, in the evening I had free time so I decided to watch the late college basketball game at an establishment; I decided to return to World of Beer. This time part of the time was listening to a random bar band who was acoustic and played cover songs; meaning, they are probably the typical bar band. They were fine, but I have no idea what that duo's name was. Wichita State upsetting Ohio State was nice as they are now one of the final four teams left, my sister, husband, and twin sons (the twins have been doing great, by the way) live in Wichita, and the team (the Shockers!) plays in the same conference as my school, Illinois State University. While I was there the alcohol I drank was less eventful than my first time there almost two months ago. It was some beer and hard cider, and none was from random countries you wouldn't normally be able to get beer from. I did get one from Maine, though. It was from Heavy Seas brewery and it is known as Loose Cannon. I had to get it as a podcast I listen to loves the idea of loose cannon cops in movies and they love the phrase in general. It was an IPA beer and I usually avoid those but the taste was better than expected.
Sunday, Easter was fine. I had a ham dinner with my parents; as long as I can remember that was the meal of choice for the day, so that was nice. What wasn't so nice was the injury that happened to Louisville basketball player Kevin Ware. WOW. He broke his leg and if you look online you can see closeups of the broken leg, the bone sticking out, and that is something which unfortunately is seared into my mind forever. That poor guy.
I'll be back a week from today and who knows what I'll be writing about. I'll stumble into some adventures, as I tend to do.
Monday through Thursday weren't too entertaining. One day I went to Walmart to purchase some items-including sodas-and another day I used a coupon to have a cheap meal at Burger King, but other than that the main thing to note is that for two weeks in a row something went wrong and where I live at, water had to be boiled for a set amount of time, the first time one day and the next, two days. I know, a First World Problem but still annoying to have to boil a pot of water and use it through the day for such things as brushing your teeth. I also watched on Blu-Ray the first G.I. Joe movie, as I had never seen it before and yet I was interested in the sequel. I saw the original, and wow did I NOT like it. Just horrible and painful all around.
