Earworm: Feel The Love – Rudimental Ft. John Newman

This song I first heard sometime ago when it first came out before it got popular.  Then I saw the video.  If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s odd to say the least.  It’s an actual community in Philadelphia that has horses.

Enjoy.

Pork steam buns from Ippudo – NYC

In short, EPIC. I seriously do not have the expanded vocabulary to even come up with an adjective to describe on  how good this is. All i have to say is if you are ever in NYC, you must give it a go. Oh, and their Ramen’s are also EPIC.

Unsafe conditions

New Jersey Transit and their genius ideas decides to close down half the platform (Track 5) at Newark Penn Station for some renovation work. I understand the need for that, but they also blocked off a part of where the entrance is to the platform, so it gets bottle necked like crazy coming up the stairs. And what’s worse is Amtrak or whoever is in charge of bringing the trains in to the station, waits a long time to bring in our trains. Massive amounts of commuters, small platform = a recipe for disaster. People push to get to the back area of the platform, and with limited space, it only takes one person to give the right push, and the person in front might have an awkward position, can and will fall to the track. And when they finally bring the train in, it’s a mad rush to get inside the train. There is no order what so ever. Even at NY Penn Station, there are 12 Tracks that the NJT uses, why in the world would you bring a train and have it disembark, on the same track that has a train boarding. You know what happens, a dozen or so people coming off from that train trying to get out while hundreds of commuters trying to get down the stairs. We are all in bad mood already because the train is already late coming in. Seriously, they need to do something about our train infrastructure, it’s a complete joke compared to Europe and Asia, a joke.

My sweet GF made this for our dinner, 2 Reuben Sandwiches. It was quite tasty.

Earworm: “Child of the Rain” by The Omen (prod. by JDiablo)

I’m sorry, for all you people that love our blog and especially look forward to my posts, even moreso, my Earworms. (Although The Big Cheese’s posts are fun to check out, so yes, check those out.)

Today’s Earworm is a little gem that I found on the ever-so-dreaded Tumblr. Tumblr is a very dark place. I hate it so, but I love using it for cool pictures and fun posts. Anyway.

The song is called Child of the Rain. It’s an underground rap track.

Like I always say, guys. My music library expands constantly. Every single day my tastes change.

The beat is nice and smooth, the lyrics are very fluid. It’s on repeat right now.

Go on. Have a listen. (CAUTION. EXPLICIT LYRICS. Also, in no way do The Big Cheese and I promote the lifestyle that may or may not be represented in the song. Enjoy life cautiously.)

Chocolate Covered Onion

This is out there, and yes, the thought of onions and chocolate is not quite appealing, my buddy and I had to try this. It was very dissapointing. The chocolate crumbled off when you took a bite, and the skin was still on. I think if they used smaller onions where you can just pop it in your mouth whole would’ve worked better.

This shot was also included in Womensday.com’s online article about wierd chocolate covered foods. I think if it had bacon, it would be better.
Best way I can describe this is, if you bit an onion, and took a bite out of a Hershey chocolate bar.

Earworm: Die Young – Ke$ha

It’s been a while since I posted an earworm, and I don’t know why, to break my earworm hiatus, I pick Ke$ha.  I guess it’s just been stuck in my head for a while for unknown reasons.  I’m not a big fan of hers, but it seems like I like her songs enough to actually listen to them.  It’s a nice mainstream beat, so…..

Grand Theft Auto V – Trailer 2

Seeing this new trailer makes me want this game badly!  I never got around to playing GTA 4 as much as I wanted to.  At the time, I was going through some personal problems, and even now, I can’t seem to pick it up and play it again.  I played the PS2 variants, and played them thoroughly, and in the process, had a good time in doing so.  Seeing GTA 5 and the way it looks graphically, and thinking back to when I first played GTA back in the 90’s show’s you how much the industry has jumped leaps and bounds in the last decade and a half.

This is a Rockstar game, and they rarely make duds, (in fact, I can’t think of a game that they made that totally sucked ass) and I can already foresee this game being totally awesome.
