I still have a blog?! Well Shit!!

I haven't posted in quite a while, mostly because I've just been a lazy bastard.

Actually that's not entirely true. I say I'm a lazy bastard, and I indeed am when I have free time, but I'm working two jobs right now, so that in itself means I'm not too terribly lazy.

Just so everybody knows, working at ToysRUs the day after Thanksgiving blows ass. Every other day there has been fine, but Black Friday was a piece of shit. I have worked long shifts before, but TRU made everyone work a 12 hour shift. In all my years of employent, this 12 hour shift was a 1st, and I've worked construction jobs. What really got on my nerves was the 30 minute lunch. They could have had the decency to give us an hour. Oh well, that paycheck will be nice and hefty which means I'll be able to buy Samantha the Christmas gift I want to get her. Sometimes sacrifices have to be made. See, I really am a nice guy.

Generally I wouldn’t waste my precious time to talk about food and drink, but today is different. Today is different because today follows yesterday. And yesterday, I tasted what I can only describe as the vilest soda ever produced by mankind.

I’m sure you’re all familiar with the Jones Soda Co. They make some damn fine sodas. For Halloween they actually had Candy Corn Soda, which was tasty. They also produce boxed sets of limited sodas around the holidays. A week ago I picked up a set of sodas highlighting deserts. They were all fantastic. There was Cherry Pie, Banana Crème Pie, Blueberry Pie, Key Lime Pie, and Apple Pie.

Then there was the boxed set titled: Holiday Pack. Samantha wanted to try it. I looked at the flavors and warned her not to buy them. She heeded not my warning and bought it anyway. She cracked one of them open last night and offered me a sip. I have a strong stomach and can handle pretty much any food or beverage. The Sweet Potato Soda however, almost caused me to puke on the living room floor. Yes, you heard me correctly. Jones Soda had the grand idea of Sweet Potato Soda. You may be sitting there imaging how horrible this actually tastes. I can guarantee you that it tastes worse than anything you could ever imagine.

I have to give Jones Soda credit for making these sodas taste exactly what they’re supposed to taste like. There will be no argument from me that the Sweet Potato Soda doesn’t taste like sweet potatoes.

Fortunately for me, Samantha tried a bottle from this set 2 nights ago when I wasn’t home. She tried the Pea Soda and told me it was worse than the Sweet Potato Soda. How a bottle of liquid filth can taste worse than another bottle of liquid filth is beyond me. There are still 3 bottles from this set left in our fridge. What I have left to look forward to are these wonderful flavors: Turkey and Gravy Soda, Dinner Roll Soda, and Antacid Flavored Soda. I think it’s ironic that the antacid flavored soda will probably give me gut-wrenching stomach cramps.

I’m one lucky son of a bitch.

As I finished typing that last sentence, Sam opened the bottle of Turkey and Gravy Soda. It's not near as bad as the sweet potato, but it's bad enough that Sam got a big glass of water to act as a chaser.

I would have prefered a chaser of Captain Morgan, but apparently, even the Captain is keeping the fuck away from this soda.

On most Mondays, I'd give you all a rundown of DVDs being released tomorrow, but I don't want to right now. All I'll say is that Superman Returns is being released tomorrow, and frankly, it dissapointed me. I'm not going to buy it, so that has to say something.

Peace out bitches.
