What a Difference a Year Makes! A new year, a new location. Just one year ago, I was stuck in a shitty day job (working for absolute fucking idiots) in arguably, one of the most God-awful parts of the country (Sorry, Finance Ladies...don't take it personally). Fast forward to today....I still work for idiots, but the weather is MUCH better. Actually, the difference between were I was and where I am are pretty interesting. Where I was: A hybrid town: Half ghetto/half redneck. Where I am: A cool little town called Marina (which I believe is a Spanish word that means "Little Korea"). Interesting Fact: Most common heard phrase - "This place needs more Mexicans". Where I was: County ran out of salt for the roads due to the amount of snow. Where I am: What's snow? Where I was: "PG" meant Prince George County Where I am: " PG" means Pacific Grove. Which one sounds better? Where I was: Every other car is a Ford Mustang or a leased SUV. Where I am: Lexus...BMW...Mercedes. Interesting Fact: You don't see THOSE "stickers" anywhere. (And if you know me, you know just what stickers I am talking about). Where I was: The seasonal opening of a shitty bar (White Trash Mardi Gras). Where I am: Clint fucking Eastwood lives up the street...and he owns a bar that is open ALL THE TIME! Where I was: Girls wearing slippers and pajamas in public. Where I am: Girls wearing tight pants and pirate hooker boots in public. Where I was: Nearest big cities - Baltimore (Crime) and Washington D.C. (even more crime). Where I am: Monterey, San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco...you know, TOURIST DESTINATIONS!!! I could go on and one (and I probably should....jelous?), but I won't. You just let me know when you are ready to come out and visit. Till next time......drinks are on me, BL |

This months' winner is: Jeremy S., Patuxent River, MD. Congrats to "Stump" for beating the dreaded "PTS Monster". I am sure the "Elephant Walkers" will take credit for it, though. Keep up the good work! |

| "Brian-Buster" Recommendations" Must See: "Take Me Home Tonight". If you were a fan of what the 80s were REALLY like, you will dig this movie. Plus, it has Dan Fogler in it. Must Avoid: "Hellraiser: Revelations". Newest movie in the "Hellraiser" series. The guy who played the original Pinhead is gone...therefore, the movie sucks. |
