Dickhead Diet (Updated)
The past week has been an epic adventure of over eating:
Tuesday night: 4 large slices of spinach and artichoke pizza at Star Pizza
Wednesday night: Fajita dinner at El Ricon
Thursday: Thanksgiving feast-multiple servings of turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy, baked cranberries and apples, cornbread dressing, sweet rolls, green peas, and pecan pie.
Friday: Renfest-bites of turkey leg, potato and cheese pierogi's, apple dumpling with vanilla icecream, bites of funnel cake. Topped it off with a Whataburger #1 meal for dinner.
Saturday: Turkey Sandwich/other leftovers from Thanksgiving, my dad's chili, sweet potato pie, potluck: Mallory's delicious humus and pita bread, Chelsea's delicious Penne, Carlos's fathers tiramisu, and polished off the night with an A-1 thick n' hardy sans bacon, gallons of Dr. Pepper and coffee throughout the week.
All about getting shitty and GAINS. I am truly thankful for such fine dining this week.
Minor Rant:
The Dallas Stars fucking suck. That is all.

mug mug mug
Working at a coffee shop produces so much gripe fodder for this site, I'm mad at myself for not using them until now. Here we go.
-Customers who ask me how much things cost: the menu is right in front of you. Read.
-Customers who ask me for drink recommendations. If you need a recommendation, you won't like what I recommend for you. I don't like white chocolate/hazelnut/caramel frozen lattes.
-Customers who think I'm impressed by the "large" amount of caffeine they're getting in their mocha to "stay up all night, bro"
-Customers who call me bro.
-Mispronunciations of various coffee terms: "expresso," "cuppaccino," "coffee latte"
-Customers who watch me make their ludicrous triple shot, extra chocolate, nonfat, sugar free vanilla abortion, and wait until I'm through making it to tell me that they wanted it iced instead.
-Specific customer who demanded I give her a new cookie, because her's was broken. What, are you 6?
-Specific customer who used my tip jar to make change for a dollar while my back was turned, and acted like I didn't catch him elbow deep in a serious faux pas.
-The way my hands are always dry and smell like espresso.
-The way my tip jar is really more of a currency trashcan for pennies.
-Customers that develop an ego about their drinks and seem to think they're "coffee people." Yeah, bro. You're the fuckin' man, drinkin that frozen vanilla white chocolate mocha. You love coffee.
-"What flavor is your cappuccino?"
-Customers who pay with money that is wet from their thigh-sweat-soaked pockets.
-The fact that absolutely no one cleans the coffee, half & half, sugar, etc. that they spill on the counter.
-Customers who order iced cappuccinos.
-Specific customer who always orders a half-shot latte, takes a sip, asks that I keep diluting it with milk, repeat, because the espresso gives her headaches. Here is a glass of milk. You can put a lid on it and pretend it's a latte, so people will still think you're cool.
Those are the most grating. There's probably more but I'm feeling like a cynical asshole now.
Good things:
-seeing Rival Schools
-Halloween Is Grinch Night
-battling my usual morning dread/depression by putting myself into walking comas with Beestings, Isis, Sleep, Interpol, Cave In, and various other calming crushes.
-Step Brothers
-Cottage Cheese
-I'd like to sleep in a pile of clean laundry one day.

Rants and other useless crap:
Good-bye Whataburger Honey BBQ Chicken Strip Sandwich. You will be missed dear friend. However, hello Thick n' Hardy A1 burger sans bacon. Gains!
Rant: Bro's Bombin' hills o n UH Campus
This semester I have noticed that there is an abundance of bros walking around campus with a Sector 9 longboard over there shoulder or awkwardly riding around mango style from class to class. I literally saw someone pull up in the parking lot next to me, take out a longboard from the bed of their truck then walked across the street to class. The whole new longboard bro trend has left me baffled and bummed out. If you are going to buy into the trend, at least please me by riding the damn thing around.
My new rig: Sunn Beta Bass Head, Ampeg 810, RATT 2 Pedal. Look forward to putting that into action.

Dickhead weekend
Danny, Alex and I spent Halloween weekend in true dickhead fashion. Saturday consisted of us laying in bed watching Pineapple Express and Step Brothers while consuming mass quantities of store purchased leftover Halloween candy (consisting of M&Ms, Oh, Henry!, Milky Way, 100 Grand Bar, Smarties, Raisinetes, and more), drinking soda, and lounging in long johns. The rest of the day was devoted to heckling people from Alex's balcony and consuming even more Halloween candy and soda.
Such dickheads!
Here is a video of Feed for your enjoyment taken two weeks ago at the broken neck:
I was very fortunate to see them on three occasions before they returned back to the studio for hibernation to finish recording their 10"/CD, out on Thrashed Records and Seafoam recordings next year.

slackers
In true dickhead style, we've gone a month and a half without any posts. It's 3:30 am. I won't be sleeping tonight because at 4 am I'll be driving to Dallas to take photos of a Race for the Cure cancer run for my portfolio class. Here are the night's/morning's top 5:
5: Scrubs on dvd. I don't care what you think about Zach Braff. I like this show.
4: Dunkin' Donuts coffee. The store-bought kind. The only DDs in the entire Metroplex are in an airport. Lame.
3: It's cold-ish outside
2: Title Fight, Agent, and Robot Eyes
1: Looking forward to the next 3 or so weekends:
-seeing lauren, friends, family
-staying out of denton
-birthday
-crime in stereo
-year one halloween show
-candy
-rivals schools and the rest of fun fun fun fest and related activities

Weekly Top 5
Though I have plenty to rant and complain about, I have decided to keep my first post on Hopeless Dick heads on a positive note with my weekly top 5.
5. Gus: the burnt leather skinned man with the ghetto chopper bicycle:
The most interesting character that I have come in counter with thus far at my new apartment complex would have be Gus: the burnt leather skinned man with the ghetto bicycle. Since living at my new complex, from around 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. I can count on seeing Gus circling the complex on his ghetto chopper handle bar biking with no shirt on and cut off jeans, sporting his more than likely malignant football like skin. He literally looks like Spawn. It is admiring to see an elderly gentle man getting some excise and sucking in some vitamin D, and enjoyable to be reminded of the awful 90's film staring Michael Jai White, Martin Sheen and John Leguizamo. Seeing Gus always puts a smile on my face.
* I actually have no idea of this man's real name, but felt Gus seemed fitting.
4. Nutella: In great thanks to Drew's Pastry Place, I acquired a jar of Nutella, the delicious hazelnut spread. In the mornings before heading to class I have been enjoying it spread on a whole wheat english muffin with slices of banana.
3. Bike Rides through Memorial Park: What a perfect way to spend a sunny afternoon in Houston.
2. Oatmeal Raisen Cookies: Whether it be my mothers, Wholefoods, or Drew's Pastry place, I have enjoyed my favorite desert more than once this week.
1. Pearl Jam-Ten: One of my favorite albums featuring classic hits like Evenflow, Black, Alive and Jeremey. Was happy to find it on vinyl this week. Brings me back to my youth. How I miss the 90's.
Rants are soon to come.

bringin' it backwards
I hate internet shit talkers, but this guy (http://crucialxtimes.com/xdx/?p=4385) is stupid. Why write a blog about seeing a Lifetime acoustic set (which only a select number of lucky Japanese fans were privy to), and complain, if you don't even like them that much in the first place? People that only like early Lifetime really bum me out. Enjoy the rare opportunity and leave the reviews to fanboys like myself. That said, these videos are a pretty cool new perspective on some of my favorite songs. And all opinions aside, props to this guy for being there and recording it for everyone.

First
Jason and I started this thing as an outlet for complaining and making lists of things we like. So here goes. My weekly top 5:
5) I had to buy a flashlight for my astronomy class this week. I ended up not using it, but for some reason I'm glad I have it around now. Gadgets are cool.
4) Cherry/almond soy milk. I work at a slow-business coffee shop. I get bored. I experiment with drinks. This is delicious.
3) My bike. The heat is miserable right now but riding a bike to school and work beats the hell out of taking buses and walking everywhere.
2) #1 Whataburger combo, subsitute hash browns for meat, w/ red fanta+coke mixture. Three ketchup packs. Wheat bun option. Fucking awesome.
1) Dave House- See That No One Else Escapes
This is the best record I've bought in a long time. Think Weakerthans + Walter Schreifels + Billy Bragg
Honorable mentions: blowing my grocery budget on mailorder records and getting excited for a new season of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.
Oh, and as for complaints- riding my bike through a swarm of gnats, who were displaced by a recently mowed lawn. Two of my least favorite things. Bugs and lawn smells. This happened to me twice in one week.
That's it!
