Deep In The Forrest

Memphis... home of the blues, mud, sweat, mosquitoes and quite notably, the Barbecue. If you have never been to Memphis, but your nose leads you down the highway in search of that "world famous" BBQ, most likely you will be mislead as to "The Place To Go" for the best. Fortunately, I am here to help you out. It's not all about the pig though... Most people are turned on to a little place called Charles Vergos' Rendezvous , or simply known in these parts as "The Rendezvous". They're one of the most known places and most-famous for their Ribs. Now, don't get me wrong, they hold up to their end of the deal, and they are a good restaurant. I'm not here to slander. But they're just not my favorite, and I think you're cheating yourself if you don't check out these lesser-known sauce-laden "hot spots". The other big name in Barbecue here is, of course, Corky's BBQ . It's another place that, while very good, is sti...

I've been trying to post for a couple days now, but keep getting distracted and sidetracked. Aside from that I just have felt "ZERO" energy this week. I do not know what is up. I had my B12 shot over a week ago, more near 2 weeks ago. I never really felt a substantial boost from that, and have not had a very good week as far as my exercise regimen is concerned. I feel a little like crap. To top that off, Richie's mood has been in the shitter this week because he had to adjust some of the crap that he is taking to become "Superman", and went through a couple of days of being an edgy asshole. That really pisses me off when someone is all edgy and jumps at the drop of a hat, tries to be all prickly and salty with me when I didn't do a damn thing. I don't feel like putting up with that shit. I would rather have a soggy, lazy, slacker of a human being than a "ripped" asshole (lol). Today, he does the usual... "springs" a Barbecue on me...

Waking up on Saturday is always the climax of the week, no matter what you've had going on it feels great when you sleep late, and then know you don't have to go anywhere or do anything if you don't want to... That's exactly what I did yesterday. Once I woke up, I did a few things, watched a little T.V., and fell back asleep for about a 2 hour afternoon doze-fest! When I woke up, it was time to get ready for band practice... We hadn't practiced Thursday night, which is our normal night, but we wanted to work on a few specific songs for our set, so as a band we went out to eat at The Bar-B-Q Shop in Midtown, Memphis. It's top-notch if you're going to be in Memphis and want to try our fine BBQ (and yes, they have beer)! Don't be fooled by the more commercialized "popular" ones... take it from me. So we ate a nice dinner, then we practiced. Mr. J and I then went home and had a nice quiet late evening. I arrived home too late to listen to Rockdo...
