23 - PIZZA

If anyone read this blog - better yet, if I actively updated this blog and people read it, they would be delighted to learn of the best pizza place in the 7 cities. I went there, tonight. Its called "Pizza Box" and its located in Port Norfolk (Portsmouth VA). The address is;

Pizza Box
2616 Detroit St
Portsmouth, VA 23707
757-393-2688

They are open M-Sa until 10PM and are open for lunch on Saturdays.
It looks like this, but has a sign and the "closed" signs have been removed from the doors and windows. Its next to that fancy-smancy "Stove" place, which I have yet to try but have heard great things about.

They have an intimidating amount of choices. I can vouch for the Spain pizza, which has black and green olives, prosciutto, and capers. I seriously can't say enough about this place!

Pros - best pizza within 200mi, vast menu, great staff, fun environment... I could go on

Cons - no highchairs, no fountain drinks, and its a bit on the small side (maybe 28 seats)

21 - Organizations That SHOULD Be Started

Coalition AGAINST the Red Hat Society
These old bags must be stopped. Red and purple-clad party animals, loudly carrying on in public places. Think The Shriners, minus the nobility of a charitable cause, and without those cool Corvette go-karts. A demanding, self-righteous bunch, often closing down restaurants with their large numbers. Think First Wives Club X 100.


North Americans for the End of Ska-Punk
It was cool in the old days but now... come on. Everyone knows its "punk" for band geeks. Put down the brass and learn a real rock instrument, or better yet, stay home and stop trying to disguise your geekiness.


Humor Loving People AGAINST Jim Breuer
OK, This doesn't really need to happen since most of the world has forgotten about him anyway. Pot humor is way played out. The only way its funny still is when done in a new and innovative way. JB is not the one to bring about this change.

Just goes to show you, only Jim Breuer finds Jim Breuer funny.

That's it for now. Comment with your suggestions, not that anyone reads this.

20 - Before "emo" sucked

1997 - the band was  "Broken Hearts Are Blue". 

Keep in mind in those days you didn't have to have some super clean production or a singer with a ProTool'd voice. Imperfections were embraced and sometimes what made a band unique. 

"Emo" used to mean something. Before bands like panic at the disco made it indie rock for highschool wannabe thespians. Now I wouldnt be caught in public even saying the word. I will even play dumb if someone asks me if I have heard of it.

19 - Lessons Learned (pt 1)

97% of humanity looks terrible with braided hair. Among the acceptable 3%, you will surely NOT find this hick that I saw wearing a Dale Earnhardt shirt. Here is a closeup I took without her permission at the beach one day.
Yes, this is an easy one because she was very ugly to begin with, but allow that to be further proof that not just anyone needs braids, as they very easily can turn the fairly ugly into the dreadfully ugly.

8TEEN - THE MOST IMPORTANT VIDEOS OF ALL TIME - RUSH EDITION

Rush fans know a thing or two about feeling isolated.

SEVENTEEN - not the magazine

Live music fans, you have come to the right place.
1. After nearly 20 years of listening, I still love this song.




2. Death Cab For Cutie - this is the first song I ever heard from them, because it's the first track on 2000's "We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes". It is probably still my favorite DCFC song.


3. Sam Beam (Iron & Wine)
This is one of the best songs ever. Please note the sniffles of the audience as the song progresses. Its really that good.


4. OK, cheer up.


5. Still down?
