ramblings from the shower

A million words spoken without even using our voices from a life filled with nothing but bad choices. Its all in how you perceive, life is what you want it to be is this the situation or just a page for history. Its easier to spread the love when your hearts in a million pieces and  in the book of life your bound to have a couple creases.  When you look up the climb looks so hard but when you look down you realize you’ve already come so far. You gotta do you and be proud, look down at all the haters from up in your cloud. Heart of fire, heart of stone the fear of the unknown. The world just stops and your heart just drops and you realize your in shark infested waters without a life vest with every single one ready to rip your heart out of your chest. Is it a coincidence or is this really a sign? Could it be that the stars have finally decided to align? Make it happen any way possible jumping over any fucking obstacles. I see your wings, you’ll learn to fly this could be hello or this could be goodbye.

Batman: Arkham City

Developer Rocksteady Games returns players to its dark vision of Gotham, where the Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane has been replaced with a walled-off expanse of city streets and abandoned buildings, ruled only by deadly mad anarchy. From a familiar third-person perspective, players resume the single-player role of Batman, to embark upon missions of infiltration, assault, recovery, and rescue. Gruesomely outnumbered, Batman’s survival still relies largely on stealthy ninja tactics, but the open, outdoor environments of the urban warzone occasionally call for cape-aided hang-gliding and grappling-hook acrobatics, as well.

CAS Hanwei SH2152 Yari - Spears: Yari

The Yari was an essential battlefield weapon of the Samurai and took great skill to use and maneuver due to its length and size. The blade is forged in T-10 high-carbon steel and is triangulated and double-edged with a deep fuller on the flat side of the blade. Differential tempering results in a clear hamon on each edge. The tangs are long to absorb the shock of a blow and the one-piece staff construction reinforces the durability of the spear. The yari is modeled after the su-yari or straight-spear design.

Review Of The Sicilian Spaghetti House Lake George NY

In my opinion when traveling to someplace new you always choose the dumpier place over the fancy pants  restaraunts. Why is this? Because the dumpier looking restaraunts usually know they have good food and would rather spend their money on fresh ingredients or better quailty food rather then a sign or decor. I have not been proven wrong by this yet….. Until I encountered the Sicilian Spaghetti House in Lake George NY. 

The service: ♦♦

The Food: ♦

The atmosphere: ♦

We began our meal with the complimentary bread, nothing to fancy here just a regular loaf of bread and some land o lakes butter. I have no issues with land o lakes butter or just plain old white bread but this in my opinion is your way of greeting your customers flavor palettes and preparing them for the entire meal experience and I really felt no effort was placed in this. 

  THE SERVICE:  The place was not all that busy looking and the waitress seemed to be rushing us through our meal, a few times I found myself piling up plates because I wasnt finished with the previous dish before she was shoving the next one all up in my face.

  
  The SALAD:
Iceberg lettuce with one choice… balsamic vinegar. Do you guys have ranch? Nope how about olive oil? Nope

THE APPETIZER: It was a good old caprice, I was absolutely expecting them to wow me with fresh basil, fresh mozzarella and fresh tomatoes maybe even toss some olive oil with some garlic, herbs and spices on there but unfortunately that was not the case. The basil was clearly not very fresh and had little or no scent to it, the mozzarella was not all that fresh and the tomatoes appeared a little soft and perhaps older.

THE MAIN COURSE: I ordered a chicken scarpariello dish with a side of house spagetti and sauce. I figured if I am going to Sicilian Spaghetti House I might as well try their signature dish. To start the chicken did not taste fresh it was hastily prepared and the sauce was not even traditional scarpariello chicken. Expecting a flavorful array of spices and flavors in my mouth instead I was greeted by a somewhat bland almost gel like sauce. no peppers, no onions, no garlic, no white wine. I could not make out any of the signature ingredients at all in this dish and they all appeared to collide and congeal into a concoction of food and to me thats an absolute disappointment. Lets talk about the spaghetti sauce for the SPAGHETTI house. I was hoping this would be the saving grace from this otherwise uninspiring meal. The pasta was cooked al dente. The sauce that covered this spaghetti was offensive though. For a restaurant with the name Sicilian Spaghetti House I would really have expected better spaghetti. A pasta sauce to me is comparable to an orchestra. You have the percussion which is the tomatoes, the spices and herbs which would be the wind instruments and the garlic and onions as the strings etc and they all come together and support each other to create a melody … the song in which this spaghetti composed was dull, boring and referring to the previous metaphor was more like a 2 year old with a teddy ruxpin banging on his moms pots and pans, cute although not moving or touching.

 
MISCELLANEOUS: I also tried Gasoso soda which apparently was some type of Italian soda. Word of advice save your bread and get yourself a sprite at the corner store its the same thing only 2 bucks cheaper.
