HOT WINGS!!!!!

so for people who really know me they know i love hot wings. a restaurant based in utah called Wingers is actually one of my favorite kinds of wings. but that's not why i am here today. one of the reason i love hot wings is because they are hot. i love hot and spicy foods, the hotter the better. i love going into a new place and asking for the hottest sauce they have. usually they question me if i have had them before and if i am serious. if i have had them before they insist that i try the sauce first. tonight i went to go watch a jazz game at the santa fe hotel and casino (i don't have cable, so i go to the sports book to watch cable games). they have a "wings stop" restaurant there, and i haven't had wings in a while so i decided to get some. of course i got he atomic sauce which is their hottest. as usually they brought me some to see if it was too hot, which it wasn't. they were pretty good too. but i've decided i have a problem with these super hot, hot wings. this has happened on several occasions at several different places. first off i love the burning in my mouth, LOVE IT. but well once all those hot spices get into my stomach and just sit in there it sometimes feels like it is ripping off my stomach lining. seriously, i swear it's burning off the stomach lining and it isn't very comfortable. the thought of self induced vomiting did cross my mind but honestly the thought of the wing sauce and stomach acid flying through my throat and mouth didn't sound worth it. so here i am 6 hours after eating some good wings and my stomach is finally starting to regain it's lining. have i learned my lesson...no. i'm sure the next time i go get wings i'll get the hottest sauce that will burn off my stomach lining.

i guess i've been doing this blog thing all wrong.

so i guess i've been doing this whole blog thing wrong according to some friends from school. my friend misty (left) told me that i need to add more pictures because people like pictures. it doesn't matter what they are just as long as there are pictures. another friend brittany (right) told me that i need to post more often. she has been stalking my blog and is enthralled by my literary excellence and would like more. but after the many different pages of writing that i've done for school i don't want to do anymore on a freaking blog. but well school is coming to an end and things will start to pick up on this blog. so don't you worry misty and brittany, i'm going to start posting more often and adding more pictures...even if they picture has nothing to do with the posting.

Is there really going to be that much change?

Leave it to the Daily Show and John Stuart to call it how they see it.

Driving with GPS

shortly after moving to vegas and driving around trying to find places, i decided to upgrade to a phone that had a GPS in it. the GPS has come in handy many times, and honestly i am glad that i have it. i don't waste paper printing things off mapquest.com and i can find local establishments with a click of the button. but last night i realized something about the GPS that i have that is super annoying. let me tell you my story. one of my friends from school was celebrating her birthday so a group of us decided to go out. they wanted to go to a place that i have never been and was not sure where it was. i wasn't worrying because after all i have a fancy GPS. so i put in the address and it comes up with the directions and there are like 20 steps in the directions to get there, this didn't concern me because it was clear on the other side of town about 35 minutes away. so i am driving down the freeway and the GPS tells me that a step is coming up and that i need to keep to the left. so i kept to the left. i change freeways and again it tells me to keep to the left, so i kept to the left. it does this several times in the 35 minutes that it took me to get to the restaurant, so every time i kept to the left...on the freeway. by about the 3rd time it hit me. this damn thing is telling me to stay on the freeway...that i am currently on. how annoying is that. it's like having a person give you directions like this. "ok you are going to go south on the 95. you are going to come up on the summerlin/rainbow exit, but don't take that. stay left on the 95. then take the 15 south exit. go south on the 15. then you are going to come up on the tropicana exit. don't take that exit. stay to the left on the 15." ok right in this small example there were 4 steps that the GPS told me when in reality there should have only been 2...take the 95 south until you get to the 15 and take that south bound. but the annoyance goes far beyond the exit directions that don't need to be in there. the GPS talks to you and tells you step by step what to do. so again we are going to pretend that the GPS is a person to illustrate how annoying it really is. "ok you are going to get on the 95 going south...alright in about a mile you are not going to want to get off the freeway at the summerlin/rainbow exit, you are going to want to stay to the left. the exit is coming up, get ready not to take it. you are 100 yards from the exit DON'T TAKE IT!!! STAY TO THE LEFT!!! ok in about 3 miles you are going to come up on the 15 going south exit." then the damn thing does the same thing over and over again with each major exit you are not suppose to take. but the writing does not do this GPS justice. this thing builds the anxiety in me as i get close to these exits that i'm not suppose to take. honestly i can feel my heart beat faster and my palms get sweaty. and then i think what kind of dumb ass does this thing think i am. really it has to tell me to stay on the road that i am currently on. "go straight on this road. make sure you don't get off on the summerlin/rainbow exit." COME ON GPS!!! ok so i just checked and there were 13 steps to get to this restaurant according the my GPS. really there should only be four. i'll give them to you. 1-get on the 95 going south. 2-then take the 15 south. 3-take the silverado ranch exit and turn left. 4-turn right onto maryland the restaurant is right there on you left it's call Almaza. so there were 9 extra steps in there just to annoy and drive me crazy. what makes things worse is i've been to a place right next to this restaurant...so i didn't even need to use the damn GPS.

Corn Dogs

i love corn dogs. it's actually been a while since i have had one. but i was wandering around the interweb with nothing to do and i came across this music video that express my love for the all mighty and tasty corn dog.

The Pooper

so sometimes i get bored and i just happened to make this little video. there are two different clips that i used that were shot completely separate and not intending to make a video out of. but alas the boredom took over and this little creation was born.

Improper Use of Rubber Gloves by Food Service Employees

so this has been bothering me for a while now, but i witnessed another example of how food service employees don't know how to use rubber gloves. yesterday was the wedding of my downstairs neighbor. my roommate and i went to the wedding and reception for a few minutes, and in just the few minutes one of the food services people screwed up. as any person with common sense knows the reason people wear gloves when preparing food is to keep the germs on their hands from contaminating the food. with that said back to the wedding. i was standing there people watching and one of the food guys walked over and changed the temperature on the thermostat with his gloves on then returned to the food. so now he is getting the thermostat germs into the food for the wedding guests. on another occasion i went to a subway where most of the employees were teenagers. on young man comes over to me and takes my order. he put on new gloves and made my sandwich. but when i paid he kept his gloves on, handled money, and then returned to the next customer in line without changing his gloves. all of this bothers me because here you have employees looking like they are taking the proper precautions to be clean and not contaminate the food they serve. but in the end it's almost like they think the gloves are there to make sure they don't get mustard on their hands and they don't care about money germs off your favorite sandwich.
