a compilation of my yelp reviews after a recent complaint

 mashita

so one thing really in my brain with this place was the memory of like 'rva hipsters' some of that being like i didn't quite get in entirely with the crowd (though i think my artistic attempts back then were good enough to which ever viewer being a bob d impersonator may have been embarrassing or charming um different stuff going on too the politics when obama was elected or other stuff straight edge and later getting involved with washington dc different communities present but not knowing where the crowds are or how to get involved and that time lost many times to lonesome life with a emotional support dog and caregivers) like there'd be the expensive road bikes (that i didn't figure out how to afford and too the bag i looked up chrome i didn't use any credit in college i just paid the loan off with the mil) and the different paletting of stuff back then (full time artschool students as opposed to me as a 'business' major though partying hard did those people become like illustrators writers painters designers i don't know glass blowers dealers) like another different world would be when my dad introduced me to the miniatures hobby (seeing table top gaming conventions) these different cliques or formats (the uniformity um) some of that too maybe being the nerds or whichever is a applicable word for that group enjoying different hobbies how that can be fulfilling too homemade films ghetto paintings static music realistic blogs immersive fantasies

um the food seems very healthy i'll get a i think bibimbop bowl it has greens um this is probably a good idea now learning of stuff like blood pressure issues or diabetes meds later on after my usual unhealthy accessible foods great value frozen stuff chips taco bell i think my body felt a little like depleted and like lower blood sugar or something later on after this being pretty hungry

um so the ambiance is nice enough they'll be the college crowd a little surprised to see a lot of people in harrisonburg with tattoos um different common areas to go to the farmers market where i'd get some pickles at there's an arcade here and a bar the art is nice there's lots of original paintings here i think posted for sale too

so around harrisonburg um there's the va where i'll go to my monthly appointments there's costco for smart affordable shopping um then some other stuff places to eat at and some useful anchor stores barnes and noble home depot and lowe's for business um

so being around here by myself um some things i'd somewhat concluded were like i'd be better off paying these professional entertainers (theatre plays or music events other sort of somewhat formal of event outings)(even other professionals restaurants or other shopping too sort of not doing the drugs for many reasons like not losing my mil benefits thinking i'd be sort of miserable from there hearing others lost their 'secure' paycheck) than getting off their 'books' and waiting for old friends to surface (i think some things i avoid are like i heard rumors of people getting to heroin that whole trouble of substance abuse) or finding ways of having new social opportunities some of that would be like maybe not wanting to be so generous in some ways if there's others who are not as financially stable as me or a little different summary with the women as opposed to the boys was thinking it'd be divorce and pregnancy there was a sort of i think hoax i heard of 'sex addiction' that i didn't really succeed with basically bluntly thinking of stuff  before the end game

so being in public here um there'd been times where i may have been offended or left with a bad feeling (lots of causes for that) seeing some of these other people whether that's due to like thinking things were unfair or another one was the whole student loan debt thing or another was maybe promiscuity some more of that would be like thinking where i am at i should be treated better i am a veteran i have a good house i afford and future um i am somewhat successful but then other stuff mental illness stigma mean people

'that guys an ahole' 'where's our college xp obama' 'these people are unnice'

so i'm in luray and a different story i don't think i've repeated too much (to use a fugazi word and yes i paid many of these musicians during a time i later associated with the dc sports champs despite being certain they would lose) was i imagined if i had friendships of some sort too symbiotically some of that would be like thinking of my position mortgage reliable car um hobby equipment (like when i wanted to do podcasts with a guest) some like a memory was i thought if i made friends with fort belvoir people or german people both i think grossly i deduced i'd be best off alone though so that too though many can be annoying

so the miserly lesson once taught food just turns to poop these places do nothing go see others being selfish and unkind in public then leave and having paid top dollar to be excluded and aware it could always be worse

switz mix records

had a lot to say and could go for a while so here's basically what happened my parents didn't like me going here i deduce (reasons like a muslim client who seems to try to ruin my life at every turn due to stuff like pseudo pow's and 'reality') so and horrible advice where they are wrong my being jaded having found out some of this stuff

i thought of the business when i did a trade deal i don't think i totally got ripped off some of that would be my pessimism over business i am not full time reselling stuff um lots of explanations

money isn't a game and i was serious though there's where i say the being spirit broken hearing of the folklore of like dylan or ssdi other stuff warrants homelessness also i think there's many people who dislike me and troll me

so here's some of it i came here right when i moved here and was thinking i'd be a good candidate to maybe like volunteer here (i'm disabled and those logistics fixed income) so the ball of confusion was the dave guy from day one seemed ornery and mean though maybe it was some real estate deal i had where he's actually a great help so i came here almost like a junkie seeking drugs with how much i'd spend in cash on records (also didn't like that i thought at one point i'd get cops called on me for just being regular and a good customer hearing how both sides can have issues with taking care of yourself) um didn't make progress with building 'rapport' (some more of that was like the good side of when i went to the venues was i didn't go to jail ever though i had later issues slightly with cops and there were the 2 dc championships but the downside my band in some ways didn't make it maybe some archivist would bring life to my prolific portfolio)

the lady tina was nice enough um not too talkative which was what i thought there'd be previously i was misled about thinking pkd was the answer um though i don't know how much i progressed i didn't want to 'burn bridges'

don't know quite what the va's opinion is and that power over me

so here was the uncensored hurtful thing i was told and i have heeded many apparently factual rumors so it was it is a gay and jewish industry and i could try forever get no where someone else gay and jewish could immediately advance and other stuff like only getting small recognition and mathematically it not being worth it like a story with me and music was a friend and i were guitarists in middle school so we took the bus to the springfield mall and with our lunch money i bought a jimi hendrix shirt my parents hated and maybe in some ways i respected that friend for being a guitarist moving on he made a record and i later found out how i could do that but some of this stuff maybe hearing too how it can be pointless or better ways professors & hobbyists etc

another was my christmas carol mentality from here like is this another 'missed opportunity' maybe a blessing in disguise how unemotionally it wouldn't have worked

yeah i probably could've been written off as a liability hearing of lawsuits and politically correct stuff um and the regimes the politics the music industry complaints copyrights etc

so yeah no conversations and a dr phil episode was a guy who lost cars and wanted to be a rockstar um i thought my background was valid but other stuff not wanting tatts wanting to be an owner um and too when i thought of my review i did think some of it was that they had 'kosher' practices where things make sense it wasn't just a rip off

i think the best of what i really had was a orwells record

um i was into the stuff and then some more of that would be like i say here's the three choices of what can be done gilligan's island the vet home owners who stay inside and watch cable and sleep a lot go to psychiatry appts some alcoholics too and different versions that then there's people who returned to the military i met them and don't want to do that then there's me as a celebrity where the logistics don't pan out my brother dead because he didn't pay snoop dogg and slightly stoopid literally

to vouge for them i think a story was in childhood hearing of the 'meeting of the minds' and checkpoints where if i listened to wise elders suggestions i'd make it through stuff unscathed some of that is like i donated my music collection (actually numerous times) and when i enlisted and made it out again i retired i now have a home i own and the deals appeared to be truthful from experts i am no longer hungry i have dignified clothes i have healthcare um two paychecks

um so with my parents today i was on the phone and my dad appeared to slightly be saying i could but still with like little foot notes but and my mom being incoherent and not listening it'd be like what's the deal what am i allowed to spend how often because i don't want to get humiliated or kicked out

also though i have heard of how it can be infuriating some of this stuff to think about um also there'd be like 'in the game' and out of it so maybe things seeming unfair

not to be mean i had a pretty good bagel here though i think i may have had better before (there being people who put things on blast and do it like so obnoxiously good) there being like new york bagels (where i heard the secret to them is the nyc water) reputation

from what i understand to quote my nephew 'you get what you pay for' it was probably a great price and additionally very nice people working

so it was good toasted that added a lot to the texture (somewhat softer insides little thick and a little bland) the bread being heated up it was good enough dough i may have liked it a little saltier or something about the heaviness maybe lighter with a hard shell and softer innards where i could have a few in a row almost like cigarettes or pickles cravings i didn't get the breakfast version with egg maybe that would've been better but might've been messy it was good cream cheese it was tasty though and i didn't get groggy and too tired afterwards thankfully it was something different and appreciated the final of it being hot and creamy was it was a good bagel i just may have thought of other bagels too i've had my mom will make them homemade the wegman's near us in northern va had a good one for a little till it got changed maybe i was being miserly and that being how you make sense of things like the quality going down with stuff

inside was nice a sort of cafe vibe (i was with my parents and the shopping center here looked nice and daydreaming about the local residents the home owners around here thinking of the like portlandia stuff hipsters families tenants or other personalities out there the right presentation to everything paletted to like hobbyists those people like art music video writing i'll do all those though a little pessimistic of stuff like tony hawk getting tattoos but seeing other answers with stuff still) little dim in the morning (enticing displays of other ready foods behind glass) thankfully i did not get any food poisoning what so ever (i had had that happen before and not knowing what i did to deserve that or what the explanation was)

yeah it went down good i just can't help but say there's been like amazing bagels out there before i remember one thing i liked was in deustchland there was a pretzel bread i really liked with salt

with my parents i think the price was very good for what you get getting to sit down and it being homemade it was a short drive from valley forge casino where we were for the night

all the people there seemed very nice and with good attitudes i did see they had some traffick so it seems like they're doing good as a business i too might've thought of different peoples styles people unlike my miserly habits that i learned were the answer (to be returned from the military at christmas or to see how i was treated with student loan debt though i didn't have anything aside from the loan no credit cards or anything whatsoever i was scared back then and sort of responsible as opposed to after paying and staying afloat keeping 'out of the red')

the chalkboard in here looked nice with the menu listed it was nice to see some more of pennsylvania things are different here

to be no filter but direct was i did like some of the different culture that being like i was stationed in germany and was exposed to some of the stuff (i have a poodle now who i really appreciate) the holocaust not being insensitive just thinking of cool stories i'd hear like there being a movie i didn't see that was about art dealing during i think wwii or other stuff the greatest generation or another was in univ having a jewish roommate too being entertained with something different his logic and mentality like him wanting to get an apartment there not to be too undiplomatic or the word for different people having different opinions was in hindsight i think he may have greatly helped me from when i was in vcu so in the dorms he might've asked me a few direct questions about stuff like me always worried and not wanting my parents to go to an old folks home for my own good too symbiotically but it was we kickstarted smoking a lot as opposed to me getting the degree like you think it sounds like trouble but in a roundabout way it seems like it all worked out for the best his boyhood bravery um other people seeing things i didn't and getting me to a better place

i had one time looked up yiddish and hebrew online on youtube um i think a word i learned from the person i was mentioning was his friend in oceanside ny outside the city on fb messenger told me the word masagana i think google said the spelling was mashugana in yiddish there were other times i liked some parts of the jewish things i'd learn the entertainment industry it was hasidic jews in a movie or another was jewish women's (and other women's) hair um though i didn't trespass hearing that that can be a little bit of a closed community i guess mentioning that hearing bagels could be a jewish thing at times

i was ignorant went well

north italia

my parents and i came here and they picked this one because it was something different than what we have around virginia um everything went smooth so there was a host and then we went to our table i guess i'll spill the beans and keep some stuff 'no filter' so the waitress was clean and professional (nice designer blue jeans a presentable top on is it from a mall store or some how expensive of company) i did notice a few tattoos and something gave me this vibe that i was like thinking could this person have been a stripper before (one time i was in a seedy neighborhood of baltimore waiting to see jakob dylan by the hustler building and there were all these strip clubs and people asking if i wanted to go in and even one stripper outside maybe smoking tobacco visibily) something about like a g-string grossness (not in a bad way just like when things are that gross like a literal strip club as opposed to like a singles event or like people as a sex worker that reality as a career)

i got an unsweet tea we got the calamari (it fried well like a funnel cake but not that hot of oils but that thickness of the batter) and it was very good hot when it got to the table and fried well clean and good

so the next one was we got some mushroom pizza is what it was i think well that some of it made me think of getting food poisoned but no no food poisoning (yet later on our trip when we went to bahama breeze afterwards i got food poisoning not knowing why but it may have been a virgin pina colada and smelling someone elses stuff being unedible maybe rancid or literally semen or snot) maybe it was the asparagus or crispy parmesan cheese (no bodily fluids in the food that i was aware of but it in hindsight may have been foreboding and i think people have done that before) and the professional cooking of it so that went well also they accommodated me when i asked if they had a fettuccini alfredo (i don't think it was on the menu but for some reason i thought they had it) though a little goof was i asked for no chicken because of lent but got that um all of our food was good good quality the place made me think of a chain and it was pretty solid like the there looked like a manager walking the floor who appeared well dressed and aware of time sensitivity there were a few other people affiliated with it i think a black woman with it looked like a little acne and the cooks in the back sort of got the vibe some of them may have had some type of training like culinary school or something the skill with the noodles being made watching that or meal preps or other stuff going on back there where you could see that part of the restaurant with other stuff in view like other tables

um inside it had big windows and was a part of a mall i never explored i think while we were on our trip my mom walked the whole mall and said it was big um

so over here it was nice um the mall was a little oofish to get around all the roads (trying to find stuff and the gps being goofy) and finding parking too um the place had a few more people pop in as our meal commenced looked like white collar people sort of or other family type locals from what i saw

yeah it was pretty good um it was a big restaurant with a good enough ambiance being in public there was a bar too um i used the bathroom and didn't have an issue (i don't think i have but though some places don't offer bathrooms and me with tea and disability find myself having to pee along some trips)

clean meal little more expensive friendly staff quality ingredients a good time in pennsylvania prepared professionally

also i got a couple clips without any issue as a 'journalist' (i have official paperwork certificates from the army and other stuff too) or lots of reasons why i think it's reasonable to get stuff for projects there's yelp there's freedom of speech but so i made a movie of the trip and everything went quite well even recently food poisoning at cheesecake factory in fairfax va at fair oaks mall that was rather horrible vomitted everything after that for a few meals in a row i even ate the leftovers foolishly sometimes now i am learning it my stomach starts regurgitating it then the process has begun and basically there's no fighting it

texas road house

um i don't know if i ever got the picture of the 'texas roadhouse' like sometimes i think my parents pick stuff and i'm just in the background not as attended to like other places i might think about for a little bit before i go there like when i'd think of my dinner options and pick one usually it could be fast food by myself

but yeah it's good um the jmu stuff in here is cool enough lately liking thinking of fantasy reality and my diy projects making movies thinking cool stuff could be a vegetable tray or getting pizza though i don't know if my family will want to be in my movie irregardless um so coming here while i'm in harrisonburg usually here for my va appts (killing time at costco and finding great stuff there the other day my parents got a traeger smoker) the place is pretty stimulating there's the outside parking lot by hotels it looks like it's on a hill then coming in lots of younger women servers then there's the lights in here some country cartoons they'll usually be pretty busy too mostly white groups here also maybe locals as opposed to students maybe some kids working so lots of people at all the tables um everything is pretty precise

so here's a little bit of a story that probably says a lot so i liked the actor robert pattinson (when i was in the army was when twilight came out and this doesn't sound believable but i remember one time i thought i literally saw him at a cafe while i was in deustchland but maybe it could've been just a local celeb and after effects of times smoking spice though i have seen many celebs before um also later things explained like models and actors having plastic surgery something i don't and wouldn't do) i'd seen some of this work throughout his career and compared to myself i thought we both have made it through some slightly rough scary patches (i saw good time in theatres and was a little anxious from it not to ruin the movie with a spoiler)(my big scare was after my court date thinking i wasn't completely scott free though now it looks like i'll be alright) so here's some more i love these stories of celebrities like the bios and stuff yes i find it entertaining but will i do it sort of no (yeah i have no skin in the game or many excuses i have a service dog) i'd say i'd sort of more be like i'll follow all my veterans affairs rules and you can call it being complacent or another was my 'scrooge' visualizer (that being the trained answer money is everything avoid trouble be miserly) um so more of that would be a story i was truly scared of it was hearing peoples parent lost their va benefits and had to figure out how to survive and make it from there like paying the mortgage and for the kids oh yeah now i remember another it was maybe a obama argument on disability versus like creative pursuits (you're just crazy you're never going to make it i'm not paying for it that's annoying entertainment industry lessons you're not jewish you're not gay you don't know anyone in the industry) and basically the answer on that being just take the meds and listen to most of what the doctor says the effects of hospitalization or other stuff forced drugs and side effects and other stuff the presidents power or politics and enemies too

so my food has always been great i usually order the same thing something about doing that makes me think that's what the owner would do as opposed to someone with a red hot greasey lease (having seen cool renters before like the location being walkable or other desirable things with the whole diag to it) like the famous reps on that maybe it's always sunny i'd guess or when i saw jerry seinfeld was sold out for four shows in two nights with a single ticket being resold for like two thousand dollars

so what i'll get is a country fried steak with white  gravy then a bowl of chili and a caesar salad and it is quite good maybe i'd have to be more in the moment to appreciate all of it instead of just like putting stuff down the sinkerator (or tea and how long till the next thing always the next thing as a tic) so to speak hearing of entertaining stories of like tasteful things classy restaurants sought after vehicles charming properties interesting flings endearing projects the hollywood life though a lesson on that too can be that's offensive like hbo hurting peoples feelings sopranos entourage adultery promiscuity as opposed to wholesome content or not so vulgar or

so yeah harrisonburg hasn't quite blossomed for me like richmond but i think a huge draw back for me would be my sobriety some substance abuse can seem like it adds a lot at times hearing of the alcohol stories (celeb lines or a story on george clooney to repeat the celeb story admiration thing um the flare and everyhing) um or when it was marijuana that literal high and after glow so now it's looking forward to food and having hobbies so assimilating with all the rules and stuff

so i've been to this chain in lancaster pennsylvania

it's safe and future oriented our visits

mikado japanese steak and seafood house

ok so we've been here (my parents and me and i don't think it's awkward to be with my family that's my family i appreciate them and don't need insults i have my story that makes sense too in addition to owning my nice house) maybe twice with me on our recent visit here's what happened so we get our table the place has a few people here (some in the other room by the shade stands and the bar) and more show up during our visit but so then our table is joined by three younger people (two guys and a girl one white two maybe some ethnic mix not pure white but whiteish skin nonetheless spanish girl and a european or arabic or something guy him seeming like the dealer and the other two like them on their ferris bueller's day off adventure) basically i deduce that they must be college students from one of the nearby schools so then i also notice they appear to be high (like cannabis glazed eyes and first off laughing for a long time) so some of this um i get the vibe they're making fun of me and picking on my parents both of which for seemingly no reason (i'm just sitting there in my reality with the lessons i've learned thus far) so i talk to my parents about stuff they're probably dealing with that i am quite aware of like the stupidity of drug dealing or the pointlessness of a degree as opposed to other stuff like learning trades dealing with your parents aging like what'll happen and no i skipped the mil recruiting angle um there was a little of this where their tone goes from belittling and talking at me (like i'm some person to treat horribly for no reason who'd that be like my lesson don't do that throughout life lots of sirs and ma'ams when i was growing up unlike them) then after my response to my parents within their earshot of stuff like debt or your families well being they retreat into a stoner glaze of fear and deep thinking (my response about the foolishness of drugs not to ruin their buzz but some reality from professor aubrey maybe i was there for that reason my wisdom to be shared so you'll get caught the birthday party slang or the money isn't that good the taxes or other stuff shown especially with the mil mentality) things like when i was in vcu immediately outside are the fugazi fans (the ian mackaye washington dc scene)(more of that would be the straight edge people drug free that movement) the drug free and the pushers violent people and violent lessons if you don't do this you'll get jumped and those people working while i am facing what these kids are now probably dealing with debt and if how to graduate why anyways i defended myself and my family and in some ways it was entertaining with things like the fact that i paid all the good bands and venues previously (which i think would make me worth listening to having paid the sold out and other ones i was there for live many big names joe rogan brought up the other day at a corn beef and cabbage lunch with the church i think on saint patty's day) and what i learned from that stuff like another one is just because someone has tattoos doesn't mean auto negativity like there's henry rollins or countless other reps the undertaker or the i think maryland group the nighthawks

so to the experience there was a little screw up a different waitress took our order and we asked for california rolls that they never delivered and we were charged for that little screw up um

so the chef was great he seemed confident and skilled and his 'trade' was charming so they fired up the grill but first we had our soup and salad that came with our meal i am definitely glad i got my own entree meal instead of scrapping it with my parents and a extra plate sometimes that'll work ordering 'family style' but sometimes it's better to get treated as another separate entity so the soup was good the salad was good um then the main course was delicious it was noodles chicken and steak and fried rice the cook did some 'showmanship' to maybe use a liberace word i think my parents said it was too salty but i enjoyed it and maybe it'd be me being younger and naive

so on the plus side our shared table we got a drop of the college experience from maybe a better angle like when i went um ignoring my parents calls and getting stoned for a year basically um a sense of humor um realism and awareness of the drug trafficking business money laundering too but yeah a little bit of a ever present lesson was symbiotically being with my family supports both of us like my lesson that we'll both sort of get shanghaid in some way or another one was despite my retirement and disability i believe there's always some string someone can pull on you so i still have my things to handle

um it was good asian food some times lately i can be a little more into the food though i haven't gone too far i don't go to the fast food or i stick with my groceries also my mom makes us food a lot

wall art was nice the location was near the golf course and in a big shopping center front royal has changed a lot

skyline dental arts

ok so making sense of this ball of confusion (learning of the genius of that song not understanding) so i heard hearsay about stuff but basically i chose to be a veteran um what i was saying was along my dental work i had mostly had what's probably the best i could get though here and there there were little things i may have not liked (a few times thinking dentists were intentionally hurting my teeth or another time thinking someone was trying to yank out my gold tooth for some reason)

so i got a temporary crown that didn't last (not to tell that whole story but it got better from there now i have absolutely no issues that i am aware of but can get paranoid about snippets i'll hear or another being my 'second chance' and not screwing up again) and then now i have a crown that has been a great help (though the va said they wouldn't pay for a gold crown and also i suspected if i went through someone and paid out of pocket they'd just intentionally do not a good job for whichever reason so that logic of the inevitable and unavoidable) i went through the va and it was nice not having to pay anything (and my visual thinking of old neighbors i saw where i lived in the suburbs thinking these people were va affiliated and i'd be able to someday get old and look like them maybe a hermit crab picture there)

so initially i was skeptic because i think what i found out in person and in paperwork was the dentist was another culture muslim and my thinking they were going to give me hell um in reality it probably wasn't bad um i had cleanings here that went ok enough um i thought some of that was derived from being of the war on terror era during obama and bluntly saying that was who the issue was with but so i did counter that i thought maybe the alleged assumed muslims could be like the vietnamese for vets who went to vietnam thinking they had a good time over there and did stuff like eat pho or enjoying being stationed there

not all the dentists were is it middle eastern there was another white woman and different helper people

um my teeth now appear to be very good no pain and they're clean and

the receptionist seemed very nice and the experience went well enough got scheduled and seen on time without too much trouble i got a text message requesting a review and i followed up so it was probably the best i could get and the veterans affairs covered everything because i still have my benefits

i think for now it was ok i don't have dentures that at one point i anticipated other stuff like not starting a family or my caregivers um the whole obama stuff

more on the unknowns was like the word compliance i learned in georgia so some of that being like not getting the screws turned on me over drugs like how i tell the truth to protect myself to avoid like getting hooked again and having my life turn into a downward spiral and not be able to get out so some of that being suspicions on others like their dental choices is this guy avoiding the va and my spirit broken logic that it's not worth it

barnes and noble book sellers

so what does a book really do um i came here with my mom and then browsed what i could find some categories like poetry music (books not vinyl) art specific authors

so i guess i've tried to make it as an author before but mostly finding out stuff like people could reach the consensus that 'it's not possible' more of that it's not worth it there's a better way or how you can do that or like sort of how things work (even like when i did surveys previously sharing good ideas) so some of that was like pen names banned books editors censorship stigma um i happen to get some footage here for a movie i made of my trip up here

it's two floors and there's an escalator i don't know the secret to this but one thing was i think i got an ok exposure to harry potter as a kid probably plenty good thinking of robert pattinson in the movie liking his works but i sort of remember another peer getting a real cool exposure to it i think he had the books (that too i later heard the first editions were selling for large amounts the rapper drake trying to get some) but there'd always be another deal or something you didn't see um they had a whole hp section there that i saw but it didn't quite jive with me like i'm not in school anymore so not doing that fantasy as a student

so what i ended up getting was a compilation paperback of allen ginsberg (but not jack kerouac the book my mom said i shouldn't get was the subterraneans and understanding that too it being trouble for different reasons like another was maybe having suspicion or paranoia about seeing too many musicians with tattoos) so what i really took away from this was the college vibe like hearing ginsberg was like bohemian or creative and involved with campuses though will it work for me um and while doing that under my budget constraints so some of that would be like aside from my family and my dog and am sort of totally alone

i had the membership here at one time but it expired um thinking some of it could be like a lease that's hot and enticing (like a special rental) but me preferring to own so from there the hallucination of a christmas carol the focusing on money part and that story play by play not really being able to change my ways or how affordable my budget is with stuff

i spoke to a employee here for a second and mentioned that where i'll go sometimes for my books now was amazon and walmart and some of that was like thinking there's no point to picking it up as an order from the store or i can do it myself um the place was nice enough and i had to urinate in the men's bathroom a few times from having tea to counter being sedated from meds i thought the book people would be like the music people and sell through whoever

now it's friday and as a practicing catholic i'll be having fish i'm looking forward to the meal with that (i think in alexandria va we might be choosing between skrimp shack or mcdonald's for lunch) i was looking back on my trip um barnes and noble is pretty cool i'd think of how accessible some of that stuff was like being at one point a poor student with hobbies but getting a copy of stuff to use (and now not just wasting stuff on something maybe even in a 'art deco' fashion) i had a real good copy of chronicles vol 1 by b dylan when i was leaving for the army my brother was nice and bought it for me

another thing was sometimes maybe it'd be mixed about the presentation to which ever purchase and they're being tons of used sellers in luray va where i have my house at but it'd be like not thinking allen ginsberg is just a homosexual but even too understanding that like healthcare and my fear and anticipation of sodomy

the cafe looked nice another cool one was i saw a dungeons and dragons section the new movies coming out soon though i later got cautious about it i remember when i saw the chris nolan batman trilogy which probably greatly helped me but may too have been a little dangerous the part where i think christian bale is a prisoner of war um

it was fun and nice seeing pennsylvania

phil and jim's delicatessen

so we were driving home from a overnight trip and my dad was trying to remember a steak and cheese place he'd been to before (with my brother they had a dental trip up here) and we found this one though i think he didn't find the exact one

so at first i just wanted to get home but my mood adjusted thinking of one was like conor oberst on the road (i saw him twice both at 930 club in dc)(bed head charm um off schedule) like the picture of some of these musicians on tour buses (i saw willie nelson once) i thought the whole like little booster effect was what it'd do (and what it did)(like hearing someones suggestion or having an excursion a little side quest adventure) i got my food and was uplifted into a better mood and still enjoying our trip as we took our pit stop i think it was maybe around two when we got there

i got a steak and cheese with onions mayo and cherry peppers (different than banana peppers or jalapenos but similar vinegary and spicy very good didn't know of these at the time) my sandwich was awesome i got a brisk sweet tea with lemon and a bag of cheddar sour cream chips from maybe herr's brand

the dining room around the corner was nice i had to use the bathroom maybe twice (i think it might be a side effect from some meds my current 'cocktail' is antipsychotics blood pressure meds and i think 1 diabetes med) it was no hassle

i felt the tightness here like everything was a little high strung and done very well like the people being friendly the food coming out quick the food cooked very well

so seeing this part of pennsylvania maybe a little bit of a story was i'll see the place like fun and exciting and charming but maybe foolishly i'll think back to times when there'd be like the intro to drugs like smokers renting a place and their lifestyle video games or bongs a to go food box in the fridge lots of the after glow next day charm um one name i said i liked that i didn't see was the war on drugs (they were i think sold out at the anthem at dc but i was being loyal to the clubs i was going to in dc too)

yeah looking around here it was after a rainy day seeing the suburbs around here it looked cool um so it being walkable another was it's a entrepreneur and they did everything perfect um liking the 'little guy' some times like my parents with their business yeah everything was in some ways better than (or just as good competitive) the big chains like jerry's or jersey mike's it being the originality and maybe warmth to use the vinyl word like when i bought by house in the suburbs (as a reference point being outside washington dc across the potomac river) and sort of eventually flipped it

the autographed sports pictures in the dining room was cool yeah pennsylvania can be pretty cool too sometimes on some of these trips we'll take i'll almost daydream about moving to these places virginia beach miami fl um augusta georgia lancaster pennsylvania deustchland

so yeah this food was very enjoyable to eat sometimes it's almost like losing impulse control because some of these things are craved like the unhealthiness or being american that being normal and how things are another thing i liked was how it was like 'concession' food i like some of those things for lots of reasons stadium foods maybe me being more into fast food or similar ones for lots of reason the price the simplicity the flavor

it was a great time though i don't know if we'd be back it may have been a random visit on our trip home but if it was nearby i'd like it though i still almost have a odd eating regime getting like groceries even the store brand to save money that whole miserly idea focusing on other stuff like home ownership

seemed a little bit old fashioned and very good quality the upgrade toppings that cost extra added to it soo much

valley forge casino and resort

ok so my parents and i came for a historical miniature gaming society (abbreviated as hmgs) convention it was awesome um so first we went to a big mall that was nearby we had our lunch when we arrived from virginia it wasn't too bad of a drive to get here maybe 3 hrs um so after that my parents got there room a little early and i had to wait for mine until maybe 4pm and then it was lounging around the hotel (didn't use the cable tv recently i've said the tv seems a little pointless due to how many commercials are on it instead opting for internet or other stuff books) i did feel a little bit of a 'college' vibe here (reminiscing about vcu the 17th floor dorm i used to live at for maybe half a year) um yeah was an awesome riff on that the crowds the vacation feel um being in another city um

so everything was clean and good another was my room at night when i went to sleep there were no bed bugs the toilet didn't have any issues and the shower worked great (i think that's everything)(i had a window view of from up there) i was on the 13th floor which was sort of cool to think of the thirteenth floor elevators band i first heard of maybe from wikipedia when i was in the army in germany then later i saw the guy live (roky erickson) before he later died um oh yeah the tap water seemed a little off and i was thirsty and didn't know a closer water fountain so i had a water bottle in the room i think my parents told me those cost extra so me and my parents got on the same for i was 1316 they were 1308 it was cosy up there and fun brought my bag and cpap up um

pennsylvania was gorgeous one thing i told my parents when we were on our way home and stopped to get philly cheese steaks was there was a band i thought had a cool depiction of pa it was the war on drugs some of that was like youthful renditions of classic rock influences like springsteen or longer songs and the whole 'atmospheric' effect the flannels the jeans the sneakers long hair a band house sort of um thinking to of richmond those 'gentrified' parts

so the place was pretty big and like i said it was a very enjoyable time the convention had a lot of people and looked successful um so there was lots of places with people doing tabletop war gaming (different rooms) i think um i had a really good time going to the flea market and dealer hall to pick up stuff to paint (i'll paint but i do not game some of that was my experience with gaming was i think my character almost died in a game and i thought that stuff can happen in real life like there's a video game i saw a news story about that if you die in the game you die in real life it shoots your skull from the virtual reality headset)

looking around um it was a pretty rainy day when we were here um seeing a few roads off from here being reminded of my time in suburbs further from major cities like for here philadelphia

um i saw the casino further away preceded by a food court i thought all the gamers or gamblers looked entertaining i'd enjoyed that energy before like when i was at national harbor md for the mgm i'd be in shake shack and see people on break from that stuff and think their 'gambling addiction' was sort of cool and charming

so yeah here for the hmgs convention and everything was a blast surprisingly only one night but two days that were rather packed

mamma mia italian restaurant

ok so here's a crazy story that probably makes sense if i explain so i first came here me and my parents got our table the waitress was very sweet and nice (also looked younger) and i had this brief daydream that basically previously i tried meeting women but failed i tried the dating sites too but it was like imagining if i were able to get married and start a family (how would i even do it where would i begin) but maybe missed that for being focused on other stuff or another was missing the opportunity when it was there public school or college those times when i was around women but now in the real world things can be helpful with the way they can be dead ended pay for your food and go home (not doing a bill m ground hog's day and trying other stuff each time) anyways it was just some thought that'd immediately too be countered with my belief in the whole christmas carol story being miserly the too all the reasons why the waitress could be a bad idea like too being sort of 'dependent' on the va that power over me and weakness or in addition to all my disabled weakness never really getting phone numbers or progressing with random women instead just going naturally as things happen and time passes i retired in 2011 i think

so anyways we'd been here with me on i think two occasions for lunch it was good once i got a turkey wrap (that i misread for a club) that was a lunch special that was good and another time i got the fettucini alfredo another lunch special with no meat that was good but if i remember right might've made me a little tired afterwards it was actually really good the richness of the sauce and another was daydreaming about like a 'ghetto' cooking lesson (maybe reminiscing about times around coeds and the jagged roughness back then before having paid theatres and venues for their entertainment maybe back then foolishness and ignorance like when i saw les miserables in the front row if you're not familiar a little summary could be a man jailed for life over stealing a loaf of bread and his tribulations while other stuffs going on like the french revolution with the students and government didn't jean valjean escape before) thinking it'd be basically add the sauce from the jar to the pasta after boiling it (maybe i'll get around to reviewing it but i had a phenomenal time with rock and roll hotel before they closed maybe daydreaming too about that stuff when i with admiration mention 'ghetto' stuff that as a compliment) and getting it to a good hardness um so yeah really milking that out like thinking of when i liked what elvis p stood for (previously when i was in bucknell in alx i'd go to dc and manage to regularly go afford nightlife there where in hindsight maybe i'm somewhat proud that after everything though me not gaming or gambling the fact that there were 2 dc championships hockey and baseball though both of which when they were happening when i heard the day of i was certain they would lose and also back then i was fearful of having some police trouble waiting to confess it was i was paranoid over when i smoked cannabis before the rules on it changed being exposed to that but got through that unscathed)

so yeah the place is bright and happy the decorations look new yet maybe a little decadent like reminders of other eras some artistic effect inside no it's not faded greek stuff and yeah it's another italian joint there's a lot of those in va dominico's in luray anthony's that chain the italian touch in woodstock melting pot front royal but i guess they're all different too and a it is good time i think my parents had ordered other stuff here too like the mozzarella sticks appetizer with marinara or we got a pizza that was cute and generous enough to split um the people here look hygienic and presentable um inside it's nice and we've been where it's a little slow (being the first ones into lunch) or there's a few other guests who seem domesticated and civilian maybe southern too as opposed to wlid or military stuff a little of that was in alx it's outside ft belvoir and many people are connected to that in some way vets in the neighborhood another was maybe after being there for around a decade before i moved thinking a term there would be a little 'familiarity' not to be negative

so around here there's a mexican restaurant we ate at just across the road it's also maybe ten minutes or so in the car away from rudy's then it's the road to stanley and luray also this would be on our way toward massanutten i think where there's the ski resort that's exciting or that bordering the edge of entering into harrisonburg where there's jmu and many places to eat um over here it's a little boring but getting out of the house and coming here is lively and uplifting getting a kick out of paying for a good meal

so it's nice eating inside i always enjoy that for a few parts of the pandemic and i didn't like that all the time um the prices here seemed good enough

a little like olive garden

long john silvers

ok so i feel like these fast food places always do everything just about perfect for me (though i think in a visit a month or two ago my parents were saying they had some issues with our order i think it was some delay and customer service i think we ended up waiting like 30 minutes and my parents got irritable)

anways i almost feel like this stuff is a little bit like a 'high' for me (because also i've concluded i can not smoke the allegedly decriminalized legalized marijuana in virginia mainly i'd be hearing warnings and not wanting to lose my mil benefits over being a stoner pot head i believe the federal rule is it is still not allowed so that being the bottom line) so i don't do it too often i usually eat my mom's home cooking but i'll like enjoy browsing menus at some fast food chains i'll go to taco bell jersey mike's kfc subway mcdonald's burger king roy rogers soon wendy's will be in alexandria i even look at the menus as like an alternative to watching television and though usually i order simple things again and again the big kahuna at jersey mike's though deciding whether to get it 'mike's way' it can be a little messy (lettuce onion tomato seasonings & oil and vinegar) but it's still pretty good also getting extra meat (a different order is 'double meat') to get full

they'll get a little line build up and grind through that for us and make sense as a business

i actually might prefer this to some sit down restaurants some of that being the price and the like concession (i tried avoiding it sort of but the food at stadiums always excites me like nationals stadium or the commanders stadium though both of those i wasn't at too frequently i'll funnily get similar stuff at home nacho cheese tortilla chips) professionalism so one thing i sort of think is the restaurants aren't always 'for me' some of that being like thinking of the logistics me coming by myself as opposed to with a party like if me and my parents go it seems appropriate and i'll pick something that seems affordable and reasonable otherwise i feel like it's smarter and cheaper to do something like processed premade groceries (i haven't tried cooking but can see some being fun chili chicken alfredo pasta simple) or maybe going out to eat though my current conclusion is it's not as expensive but maybe i'm wrong one time i was regularly eating fastfood and it hit my account and i was like that is expensive so later after that i would binge on costco finishing everything and doing that but back then i was affording dc nightlife weekly

um so the other day we ordered family style (some seafood bundle and some sides) and everything was scrumptious it'd be too like getting in my eye this like blood lust for some stupor from how good it was the vinegar the fried battered fish those being the real great centered point on the meal

um i came here with my parents we were driving from luray to alexandria and planned to stop especially here for the fish also on fridays we've been following lent so that drive was refreshing it was different we took the way past skyline drive and it was fun seeing different stuff and it was probably about the same distance as if we went through bentonville and front royal

so yeah the prices are firm and the food i believe is good like when i go to most fast food joints it's just hard working efficient personnel the cooks the register i used to do the surveys for them all the time but since gave up

it's not embarrassing coming here it's nice being with my family

quite the hankering for that fish with vinegar the previous time my order was done to perfection i opened the vinegar packet and doused my fried battered fish and it permeated the breading so well it was like a funnel cake it just went so well like ying and yang or peanut butter and jelly and sometimes i'll get excited from these meals like having a fantasy or hallucination like me liking the story of charles dickens summarizing that with his well known christmas carol

so one thing i'd sort of get at is my math would probably be the price is firm but doable like my budget i am somewhat miserly but i can do it even on a 'fixed income' where i actually do pretty well two paychecks ssdi mil retirement so there's day dreams about other purchases sometimes liking even like toys at walmart or recently some amazon orders i am having a blast with harvey pekar his 'american splendor' line um the nostalgia the 90s 2000s

so catching up um here's a little of my mindset it's that recently we made it to christmas and that was like a beautiful grand checkpoint then after that the next week was a little scrappy getting packed up and getting through the rest of the year but now we have got some traction and i keep my eye on little markers like i'm looking forward to a hmgs convention in pa so times like this are savored and some of my 'visual' was like different versions i'd seen of scrooge that confidence and reassurance

i didn't yet overly read into the brand

mystic pet resort and spa

been coming here for i think now 3yrs um it's been great so one thing i was going to say was these seem like some of the 'dog people' (they really take care of my dog when he's there) like when i thought i got to the bottom of stuff like different leaders i met the 'punk people' (that was black cat and a little detail about maybe confusion if at other places i questioned if i got treated right maybe countering that with a belief that there could be like 'kosher practices' where everythings sort of figured out the flowchart answers for stuff i was mixed up about vinyl records but might have stopped that) or the 'hobby people' anyways i really like dogs and though at times got concerned could i afford the poodle i have but i make it sometimes i'll do stuff like strictly eat groceries and do other stuff to be mindful of my budget and scrape away some extra money from my cheap habits my poodle is amazing he's smart and a great dog always helpful in some ways too even a great companion usually with me even from trips to alexandria like a friend

so i'll come here after scheduling (maybe lately it's a week's notice and i can get the dog booked) so it'll be in the morning when i drop him off then later on i'll get a call and i'll come pay and pick him up i think the price for him has been about $86 cash (which was about the same as the regular shops in alexandria i think the mobile like vans were charging a lot more i think one place may have said it was like $250 though maybe the did more but the other stores were about the same of about $90)(some of the prices in the south are cheaper then the north but some are the same) um they do a great job i remember there were a few little things i wanted them to do when i first got here after i had relocated and moved so they fixed like his hair in his paws or some hair in his ears and have notified me when i had to take him to the vet before i think one time they found a scrape on his tail and he went to the vet for antibiotics that weren't too expensive

yeah having a dog is awesome like a great companion whose loyal and helpful having him at the end of the day in the bed with me reading or watching youtube him at the office alert if anyone comes in um him with my mom or dad um

um so the people i met here were nice enough i think one guy is an expat (i mentioned curiosity over hanging out as a friendly american but i think i heard warnings about friendships being over the toilet and another one being me getting my 'second chance' at freedom and not goofing from there to irreversible misery though being a miser) then there's lena um chatting with them for a little like some parts like me explaining doing my hobbies but then too considering quitting them for safety hearing warnings about it um he's boarded a few days here before but not that many times

one cool thing was for some reason two years recently i was busy and i think they saw grover on christmas eve or christmas day and i paid and got him his haircut some more of that was when i kept hallucinating about scrooge since that was my answer like leaving for the military to be returned or paying all my bills and focusing on not having debt trouble um people losing friendships not knowing why maybe other stuff not using drugs like a story was i still believe marijuana is trouble (and i think i saw a story that it's bureaucratically still not legal despite some other stories decriminalization legalization i was shocked to hear that'd happen but still don't believe it due to federal rules or the veterans affairs rules)

yeah the dog is a great investment i think he's a 'service animal' (emotional support animal) but not as far as like the trained service dogs i think i heard those are taught either by priests or prisoners um i dealt with those before the neighbor i used to get paid to walk his dogs he reminded me of the george reeves superman died recently but that was a big help for me in high school before i got fired later on i think the sweet spot on that was junior year when i was academically secure with the flight path (i actually graduated with a 'advanced diploma' too and got into college) but it was when before the 'senior slump' i got exposed to some smoking even cigs at jobs that crazy time before healthcare or insurance like immature stoner stuff being of the era the 2000s and readying course for a accredited 'artschool' (vcu) that was really impressive though i dropped out though i paid my loan

so it's good get the dog here every so often to get his face shaved up and the rest of him groomed he's sort of better than like a roommate or assistant no real trouble from him and he's house broken

so some of this too was i heard my parents mentioning this some of these old fashioned things being worth it like the deli the butcher the barber um little services that are greatly appreciated

i had a neighbor who had poodles on some of his paperwork he's poodle club of america a great dog he did get neutered

honey pig korean bbq

had a great time here last night so um oh i was incorrectly briefly anticipating his kids irritating me (i actually the day before temporarily got into a semi bad mood thinking of it in anticipation) but not the case that night (started with a compliment about his daughter doing a good job in my christmas movie this year i really enjoy making and watching those this year they were set to private) so it was a birthday party (my mom got her some baking stuff also she gave her grandma a bracelet) and we got a bunch of good food to eat from the menu i think we got a beef pack and a pork pack (for basically i think 7 of us) then some appetizers like fried mondus and a kimchi pancake and i got a spicy pork soup for myself to the side oh and there was the starter sample plates forgot the name for that there was a good pasta salad i liked and then other stuff like the kimchi being a winner like usual

the food choices are similar to some other korean annandale places like there's k market and kogiya so enjoying being over here um another culture

so the barbecue was great tasting the fat and meat and them cooking it for us on the burner at our table um all the food was tasty um at the end they brought out flashing light up tambourines and a birthday treat (looked like a choco pie with a firework candle on it) for my niece and it was fun too i think my brothers spouse got it on video (also she's philipino lately i've really started to like some of that stuff and appreciate that culture more like there's some philipino soups i got from fort belvoir the brand i think was lucky me and some ramens indomie that's it from some asian grocers um i think i heard my dad say there was a story that there's like a philipino mafia in the us navy and thinking maybe she did help me too before like i think i remember a philipino drill sergeant who greatly helped me at fort jackson in sc though that was army another time when we were on a carnival cruise ship another cool story was hearing dave chappelle married someone filipino)

the ambiance here is nice one little day dream i had while here was imagining if i actually lived somewhere like korea like that being both 'overseas' and a 'third world country' (things being charming and different that adventure) um i think in some ways i'd love it but then i think the reality lesson on that i heard of is it's not possible like i wasn't able to go move to deustchland for various reasons maybe citizenship something about being over there being different the way everything looks um

um so inside there were some tasteful paintings (like childish cartoons but not manga) that added some warmth to the place the kpop music videos on a tv screen near us were entertaining i actually usually try to avoid getting sucked into the tv at places (college basketball) but this was different

i thought the bts story was cool i heard in korea it's mandatory for the men to join the military at some point and i heard some bts members went in bts is a kpop group i heard of i got a magazine at one point about them

so some of the other patrons were charming enough (two youthful people next to us who had visible tattoos that looked professional other times some asian guests different ages) the people next to our table seeing different people and another daydreaming about people i assumed were mil related that cool side shopping in another country nightlife at a far away duty station that age and from there what another being the like pro athlete thing with personnel

the food was good and i got enough to eat the inside was cool maybe seeming a little industrial with the steel and factory like setting um the men's bathroom had a urinal

yeah it was a great time and the food was great one term i've used a few times lately is when i like something that's 'obnoxious' in a good way so it was a fantastic experience at a firm price really getting a taste for the meat the pork and beef cooked so good on the bbq palette

golden china restuarant

it practically brings tears to my eyes how good this place truly is (beautiful gorgeous delicious welcoming fun intelligent i think affordable successful ambient deep satiating quenching gluttonous flavorful salty in public) um and too understanding some of the harrisonburg college town jmu thing like the 'idling' here (seeing the day pass where you live at and common ground hot spots the buffet)(drawing out that young adult image like successful firsts f scott's this side of paradise jd salingers catcher in the rye um taking back sunday tell all your friends bob dylan self titled prolific picasso um early beatles)(yeah the 'college' media) or that being um townies and vibrant life from the party a new chapter and the glamor of doing some errands up here

it's sort of like a outsourced college cafeteria though the faces maybe more worker males and then like a patron who looks like they're attending to their guest and then too normal bigger civs who are older um

so one thing on my mind was like the bill murray ground hog's day thing something about like that rejuvenating beauty of having your life under control (the 1980s on blast like the neon signs at take out places black coffee) like me i'll have my parents and my family and we all seem to be doing the best we can um more of it um oh i was very happy i got some clips here on my smartphone or camcorder (before i set it to private & quit paranoia about complaints and cops)(also my images were for a while my homemade entertainment not meshing with cable for a little though tv my own show from stuff i uploaded in reality can be great and internet on the desktop computer) so some of that was i made 'independent' home movies basically it'd be like christmas and i'd compile stuff around that lifestyle family staying in town my brother driving to luray from alexandria our whole agenda the christmas dinner but this being a maybe the next day after they're gone and the excitement is still lingering and falling down like confetti the excitement and passion the zest for life to be great

the chinese is cool (and i didn't see it embarrassed or insulted having dealt with some of that in my life before even plain racism before and more on that thinking of dnd details on stuff dungeons and dragons) some of that being like loving the martial arts concept those films i think one that really did it for me (before nitpicking it tarantino's divorced parents) was kill bill 1 & 2 uma thurman david caradine the nod to bruce lee with the yellow suit so so much cool stuff with it like knowing different chinese neighborhoods (in georgia the delivery restaurants off post bringing that to soldiers in they day room)(when magic wok in alx was here it was fire there's one i may see about up there near us big panda) when i stayed the night in china town in dc during the snowpacalypse (and recorded my first dylan album) in the red roof inn and had visitors too

i think my favorite thing here or some of them would be the hot and sour soup that vinegar the egg the tofu the sour the bouillon in the soup the seasonings that is beyond good um the crab rangoon cream cheese crab fried a good finger food the party lifestyle the lo mein noodles the grease the salt the thickness forking that out um general tso's chicken the sweetness the breading afterwards the red jello sweet soft room temperature the chocolate pudding rich light maybe a eclair the innards the sugar the tea with the meal in the nice cute serving pot with mini mugs

so what's there to say um inside it's nice seeing the mix of people trafficking here (different white groups workers family members students if they have the money for it) it's lively and the different days are good i think we'll do the lunch buffet me and my parents um i'll be in town to go to the va clinic for apps um so getting that scheduled killing time here there's costco

yeah it makes me happy to think about going to golden china (as opposed to other times thinking i was getting picked on or teased to feel ashamed without good reasons) there were other times where i was visualizing different stuff creative hallucinations cartoons of pkd and like the harrison ford blade runner i think i saw the new one (on opening night and followed up with a dc live music drinking time) but not the original fully through that is something though there's so much content out there i'd never finish it all the rabbit hole um and even rewatching other stuff

so it's off the highway next to a kfc and before a strip of harrisonburg businesses like there's texas road house sort of near there the shopping center with barnes and noble michael's um home depot the dentist skyline dental um hobby lobby

but yeah harrisonburg is also oddly bordered by massanutten that's where there's a ski resort at that i've seen before um the drive here it's not too far from new market and after that luray um some other places are flaming grill which is close by and another would be woodfire grill buffet

ght oasis park and spa

ok so this was on my mind for a little bit so here was the story i was active duty stationed in germany (schweinfurt before later hearing it closed) i got a opening for a better opportunities for single soldiers (the acronym boss) event and we took a bus through europe (stopped in france where i thought this happened again when distracted similar to a scene from the tom holland europe spiderman) to this hotel for a few days at the beach so one night probably day one i meet two british girls and we have sangria (it was on the hotel patio my room was maybe the third floor and oddly shaped and sturdy um i had a balcony) then sober up and walk the waterfront and then back to the hotel to sleep separately (i remember too a hotel worker there being direct about stuff) then i go to my sleep here's what i thought happened so i remember at the time i had quit masturbating (remembering her british accent and sweet kindness very nice and even talking of the queen before she died and too the war i was to partake in) and thought in the night someone had gotten pregnant with my kid and that was saving my whole life like other stuff that was going on having my parents be ok um not getting in legal trouble (before marijuanna was legalized i think i was semi at risk for stuff) so for the first like few years afterward i didn't really talk about it and maybe even hid it thinking that that'd be another thing i could get in trouble for well eventually the truth came out and i said what i suspected happened since then i tried to be a well respected man and then um basically somewhat counted on what i believed happened (i thought the kids life was good and taken care of then other stuff i'd day dream about heroic boys) so around that time i was heavily influenced from my georgia tradoc roommate (his voice and postures) and thus may have seemed odd um i was really into the beatles then um that's basically my whole story i thought my life was saved overseas and then my life was worry free and single from there

so around then um i got a picture of me my deustchland roommate took who one time punched me in the kidney and i cried and he got in trouble um i stopped by the nightclubs or discotechs sober um remember going past the beach and up some terrain it was like stairs and stuff by cliffs um remember the tourist prices being expensive for like bottled water and sun tan lotion the hotel had a breakfast that was good a little buffet thing i think along the way from the hotel to the strip there was some vendor shops in the road and before then a statue of an eagle some of the stuff in spain looked like a windows screen saver i think i was there for maybe 3 or 4 days

country road antiques and gifts

ok so this place um i came here when my parents moved before i moved (eying over here first liking everything when i said my neighborhood was the creme de l a creme this being a little drive away um if i was less future thinking if i got my place more staged and stuff but yeah it was true the style over here the charm when i was browsing at first and moved quickly and easily) and was impressed with this place (i saw a 2000s spiderman the sam rami one in box figure here that i think got sold which also i think i didn't realize what it'd do me trying to do my hobbies and one being the journalism photos writing videos i didn't quite get it at the time and didn't get my parents approval either) i was going to say how i was melting (just everything having that over the top effect like a light headed exhale of relief and having a soft spot for the presentation to use a british term i learned like admirable stuff shown whichever hero it was) or how the owner oozes with charm (he'll look you in the eye and seems like an individual but also a leader has his own style) while talking about him i was going to say i got a good feeling from this guy (not to be weird or anything just trying to add some info about my trip make it more personalized and realistic)(not to cringe when someone brings up some line i jotted down or if others suspect me of being like a 'mystery shopper' when i used to do the surveys on receipts) and we'd see him every so often when we took a shopping outing day

so park step through the porch or the lot to look at outdoor goods enter and it's a little like a bazaar with all the goods um

ok so it looks like they sell their stuff which is a good sign (there'd been times before where i was like realistically wondering how people could stay around but maybe it's just a hobby for others and they can afford it um paying for the place and how much traffick they'd get) um i've found cool stuff here before but seeing how much i was going to get um it sort of reminds me of like a pawn shop with the personality to stuff (but not that like darkness or roughness)(i think they might have vendors too my mom asked if they could do a better price on something and i watched him get on the phone with someone and we did get a deal i think it was twenty dollars off) or the maybe like sought after stuff

so it's cool little details over here thinking of like 'the south' or something little differences (seeing vintage stuff to be a little no filter i thought some stuff could look trashy and cool not as an insult in any way thinking of that like when i'd think of a brad pitt movie enjoying some of that for that like a carnival or that like funness or noticing some lamps lighting up some stuff maybe some showmanship on that) off topic it's cool there's a cat that they have here that'll roam around outside outside it does smell like the surrounding farms but it wasn't too bad and it's not like that inside

so i guess my perspective shopping one little detail might've been that i'd think or arrive at the conclusion to do my hobbies but then that'd be countered with warnings i thought i'd heard like injuries and bad stuff that can happen if you don't quit so i guess being safe while enjoying my pastimes also i'd been reserved instead of loading up on stuff every time my parents on that when i'd think of like little things i did that i thought helped me out with my interests um

um so lots of knick knacks and stuff some records some toys some books and older stuff too um collectibles jewelry framed artwork i can't remember it all but it's a lot to browse

there's lots of these type of shops too but each one is different

i had a great time every time we came here even if i didn't get something oh i think this is one of the permanent longterm owners over here too um yeah it's fun to delve into the displayed stuff here shelves with small things different sections an upstairs

valley treasures

i have had an excellent time here so my parents and i will leave luray cross the mountain by the water spring where we'll fill up jugs of mountain water so different choices of where to eat along the way (some we've done like rt11 diner cracker barrel arby's) until we get here (i liked going to this walmart because they carried wahlburgers pickles and not everywhere was doing that and i enjoyed that gimmick)(my mom likes a bakery on the way here)

so looking around i think there's some vendor shops set up (and there's actually quite a few resellers and used stores around this part of the region so little differences and tasteful details the showmanship the presentation) um i feel like some of it might be held back a little bit (if i had the cash on me that being a little bit of an expression like if you have the money or the card on you the offerings desired will be there or was more open to loading up each time) or done online where it's posted (i'd seen stuff on other places before i don't use ebay out of paranoia that i think my dad said years ago he got ripped off on there i guess another place that'll let you sell is amazon used media video games books dvds)(another is facebook marketplace lots of places to shop but which is the best to use) anyways when we're here we're treated nice even if we don't get something (they let us in and we take a look and there's no pressure to buy) every time yeah very hospitable and warm it's just a good family activity so i'll find some good stuff here (also times shopping thinking what'd be good for someone i knew or thinking at the price it'll almost be worth it because you can donate it if you get tired of it and then get some indirect pay back or it holding it's value in some fashion) sometimes though honestly at some times it's like understanding how the stuff got on the second hand used market like thinking do i really need this or should i just pass but then too maybe sometimes it can be ok to be a little generous like when i used the dvds on the dvd player instead of the cable that odd choice sometimes some of the art deco or novelty of the purchase being a statement or direction to a goal like one story was i wanted to make all these movies then i found buying dvds and watching them helped in a weird indirect way maybe some tax move or something (i had a pretty good time with some paperback scifi that i hadn't gotten around to finishing reading all the way through um there was a time when i was i think others might use this word 'idolizing' philip k dick)

one thing that is actually pretty nice is being with my parents so maybe that supervision or bond not to be so superstitious but maybe a little too like when i loved the show beyond belief fact or fiction though i was actually a little scared of it maybe that stops some of the foolishness (though that can be genius too) or excess

so one of the workers here i get a pretty good 'vibe' from i think it's a currently blonde asian woman who is jolly and sweet welcomed into her store and being entertained with the displays (and some older women who appear lively and helpful maybe someones grand parents and that 'ageplay' or other era style when i was reading people who i think some of the lesson was their royalties were expiring 19th century names) and what's in store um earlier on throughout our visits i've found some really good things here before i think my best find of all was a wooden coat rack that i'll put hats on so some of that telling more about me was this odd visual i have where on the one side i'm 'vibrant' or hopeful (lively and human) then there's the other side of that where i'm pessimistic and cheap (miserly being the lesson i was taught see being sent home from the army at christmas and then that anniversary or something the seriousness and business) some of that being like thinking of the old show gilligan's island that being what i thought of some of my old neighbors who'd be at home all day and to be honest a little dark side of that like thinking someday i'd get old and die in my house whether that was of natural causes or to avoid being put in a retirement community that looming fear and then comparisons to all the people where i used to live in bucknell wondering my future and worry

the store is next to another thrift store that i think is co owned by here um it's in a shopping center but make sure you go to the bathroom first there's no bathrooms around here they're closed off

so yeah there's a lot of different places that sell second hand stuff and each one can be still pretty unique in the delivery yeah throughout the years i've had good times with many thrift stores (even though did at times some thing seem stolen)

the place appears tasteful with their individual look

so some of what would be on my mind is what to do like a different expenditure being hobby supplies so that'd be guitar piano video art blogging miniatures so those categories um then seeing what else there is money

h mart centreville

so some of the real pretty picture of this being maybe a asian american house or that culture um like when i was a teen ager and i'd see other peoples places they lived at a commissary parent her son and another way of life and then that barber down the street too the look of living their longterm and maybe some fob (i think that's an insult for fresh off the boat abbreviated i wasn't saying it like that just hearing what i heard said before) stuff sandals mirrors cash tea

so me and my mom were here i briefly had a memory of someone else i looked up to as a kid a 'spanish' boy so some of that was maybe this like 'badass' thing like later he got a motorcycle or our similar music taste when taking back sunday kept delivering um so some of that was maybe like the ethnic aisle at the store or is it an import or the parents behind it and then other stuff happens cinemaesque visuals more reality then the corny good parts of romantic films like different appreciated teenage movies the breakfast club superbad

the kpop was enjoyable um i liked some of my productions i'd done before whether that was my youtube channel or before deactivating my instagram um some of that was maybe a follow up with whichever hobby in some ways

so shopping there's always a few specific things i really like here like the ramens and phos um i got the wings (that are really good maybe a crossover of american and asian culture it's just as good and even more of that understanding peoples duty stations korean vets for anyone looking for the recruiter) but absent mindedly forgot to put them away before and the dog wolfed them down (also getting the timing on it with my trips so food doesn't expire)

so i got raddish and cabbage kimchi old bay to put on stuff sweet and sour sauce to put on stuff mi goreng indomie noodles (mom introduced me to these very good trying the spicy version when i get a chance) green tea metal chop sticks tea spoons so the whole house set and that vibe

had to take a break and do an errand by foot so i walked over to the shopping center by my parents suite lately i've continued inching through a hm book that was suggested by a magnificent professor in rva um seeing more of centreville was nice earlier we were at trader joe's and pho duong

so another thing i remembered with the 'token' term was it wasn't like an insult and i'd dealt with it before too like you go do something and are immediately rejected ruthlessly (see whiter neighborhoods rejection food poisoning at restaurants mean faces) whether that's for racial composition or other stigmas (which isn't that ironic how mental illness comes back on you) it was just like you learn and teach yourself but it can be fruitless some of the 'white women paradigm' being attracted to different types of women  but essentially finding it to be a waste of time energy money etc

so it's a great time and it's fun to be with my mom like one i really enjoy is the korean barbeque we can get the meat at different places but sometimes we'll specifically pick up from an asian grocer um that's an awesome meal and there's good places for that like kogiya the price is firm and probably worth it

um i guess getting to the end for now there was a restaurant here but i don't think i've had this one i may have had a different one though

so being a korean um fred armisen from portlandia i think is and i think the guy from harold and kumar was um also having mixed blood from my dad's side um

the place is friendly enough i guess that's all for now

i guess thinking of this being almost like a sponsorship too that was a term when i was a kid it'd be skateboarders wanting to get stuff for their skating like people who made that a career so i don't get paid or free stuff from h mart but i am thankful for the opportunity to come shop here and have a good time another was at one point i actually had a unexpired minority owned business certificate um i think i have done a good job of 'assimilating' as a asian american um i am a veteran and i had a good time where i was at maryland georgia south carolina um deustchland now i'm near the dc veterans affairs still and fort belvoir plus harrisonburg

yeah i guess that's all for now i'll have the keurig tea at the desk with the computer and the internet um continue along with my parents and this trip the road life the dog with me um my brothers neighborhood nearby a couple streets over um being like patrick stewart yeah the internet joke though i don't know that much of the internet humor and what i was shown i was not that interested in

that movie parasite i missed sounded somewhat entertaining i had seen some foreign films before um for some unasian people learning kimchi is sort of like pickles i think um soups keep for a while tea can be healthy

so it was a good time um it can seem like a smart choice with some of it too especially me liking grocery stores the money saving and healthier way too also they had some 'charming' premade foods

trader joe's

so despite a little hiccup while here (probably on my part) everything was a really good time (my mom and me were shopping and it was comforting and anxiety relieving yes saving money with groceries maybe in that way being a little 'hardened') so i'll start we were shopping and i went to the bathroom to go pee a worker opens the door on me and responds (i think the actual line was 'dude this isn't your house you have to lock the door') about locking the door and i mumble back confusion so anyways what i was getting at here was at some times it's like i've had enough 'being antagonized' but then the other side of it would be understanding their 'high strung' parts or what others would do (the person catching it before someone made a complaint) so point taken and yeah i can be high strung too so i respect the notice

so some of that would sort of showcase some of the best parts of here like one might be maybe reading into it being a little bit more of a left sided feel with the zanieness or personality um some of that would be like i've known people who even though maybe us breaking up over political or working issues growing up supporting yourself fulltime yeah making it i guess (me allegedly milking the lazy disabled thing to some people or learning that mil benefits lifestyle early questions directing me to a better today that i am so thankful for) i've seen people come full circle and pamper me with despite whichever political candidate wins and my ineptness in politics it'd be kind hearted things headed my way (an example of that could be the big answer from virginia was dickens fictional character scrooge though the part that was skimmed over or narrated different was was i given a 'second chance' some of that being not repetaing the mistake and the logic behind the miserly way well actually yeah that is a second chance not ending up dead from the story) yes people are not innately evil beings out to get me (though at times it can seem that way too like thinking of kids in youth sports some of that like colleges and another being the social work case stuff um i never formally had kids but thought like a different one was i heard your parents can give you big leads in life a lot of unfilled holes in these sentences quickly written)

yeah more of the good side so here the workers seem a little more americanized like maybe a educated white person profile (high school popularity um conventionalness political responsibility and awareness knowing what's going on and not disobeying the point of being pc despite my somewhat no filter laden foolish yelp even with oddball stuff like the frozen indian i am looking forward too) um some of that being maybe different intelligent choices offered from like this corporate type um i heard this company takes care of their workers too so yeah it was really good actually like i knew i guy i think went here so helping that like if it's available for me some of it the prices are good the variety is good so no excuses um it's a competitive choice with others though other mindsets the home life mentality

remembering what i got there was a chips and dip some men's one a day pills frozen indian some soups

the brand really hit home with me with some of these like 'loving' details the packaging the store brand um it truly feels sort of like someone cares about me and is out to help me too (going back on what i was saying was my learned lesson to quote tiny tim 'god bless us every single one') like maybe some different answers i got some soups that were both healthy and tasty another maybe sort of lesson too was this place can be like ford where maybe there's a reason to get that instead of the hyundai who can be very tempting those korean economy cars that last forever with minimal issues

so where do i get groceries um if i'm at home there's food lion and walmart and costco if i'm on the road we'll go to the px and commissary on fort belvoir um sometimes we'll make other stops like giant or safeway but well yeah actually there's a lot of good grocery stores out there

yeah one thing this place really has going for is the decadent feel like remembering which ever moment fondly the 1990s the 1980s the 2000s the 2010s (but i don't know when trader joe's started maybe i'll look up there website stuff the paper bags the presentation it's a good time afterwards and fresh excitement while i'm in the home owners goal so some of that like saving money though understanding being a foodie too surfacing for whichever craving or to do it with groceries) 60s 70s 19th century 50s

yeah it was good as cable and the cashier at the end was very nice despite the rush everyone busy around here and the charm of the like what all your into like another different one was seeing someone when i was younger enjoying his charm with purchases some i knew of northface starbucks mesa boogie apple so yeah this place having the friendliness and like portlandia vibe that's a good one the wacky intelligence

pho duong

ok so my dad was busy with some gaming around here and me and my mom had a little time to kill around here and we first stopped here for lunch she picked it beforehand and we had our plan set

so the food was really quick um the pho was good a little mix up on our order with the fried egg rolls and a vegetarian pancake coming out after our entree which also the noodles were a little condensed but it was all good very good the speed was something and the whole restaurant was booming looked like it was just one after another of people here having a good time lots of different groups here having conversations some asians around here noting that centreville has some of that demographic represented

so one thing i sort of thought into it a little was it sort of seems like some of the chinese food places are disappearing and my mom said something similar adding that she thought the thai and vietnamese places were replacing them well asian is very good food another being enjoying the korean cooking

so here was my little quip i thought like in maybe 80s movies the asian joke was a thing like chinese people getting disrespected and insulted but then i thought the vietnamese the french asian colony seem to be more cut throat not tolerating it like when i think of the vietnamese in public school (where after finishing that i am a little shocked with what people got away with like blatantly talking shit to people or literally assaulting people for no reason or all that horrible stuff) maybe they'd be with esol people (foreigners or something) or where ever they were (surely there were some reps of maybe the 'cool token' ones) but it was like i'd come here then later i thought there was ripples like a biff tannen type guy in public school picking on me then his dad vietnam era (and other similar people fitting that picture) some effect from this stuff so it'd be like thinking of the french part the ridicule or that francophile stuff that zest anyways my whole point on that was maybe some changes with that like whichever movies are depicting the different ethnics these days though maybe a new one is 'homosexuality' as a stereotype like queerish side characters or maybe it was a not good pressing

um the broth is my favorite part afterwards i had a little left overs which were put in a container for me they were very generous with the toppings but i actually might prefer the broth the most that with the siracha sauce um

um it was a good dining experience i don't think i saw any issues the prices were probably fair too some of that for me might be some of these like businesses with maybe a $15 meal fair (not including optional tipping)(k market in annandale is good the bu ddu mak if someone explained the menu to non asians i think it'd be enjoyed too the army stew the hot stone bibim bop the mondu soup um the spicy pork those are a few approachable delicious meals there and the food courts surrounding charm) being an occasional good stop maybe thinking that's better than a 'fast food addiction' the prices and the unhealthiness though enjoying it too um

so everything was very precise um dine in good table talk conversation um being in a public place

1835 smoke house

maybe after christmas or so my parents and i went here um it was pretty good (maybe two criteria parts being taste and attention other ones too like presentation or price) i think i got bbq sausage and some sides (a little forgetful now) um not sure what the source of the food was (like companies that sell stuff for them to prep as opposed to like from scratch) or that being like how homemade it was but it was somewhat quick and fun (another giant landmark for over here was it's by the outskirts of leaving harrisonburg that college town) um it was a little empty when we went there there were people leaving then it was just us and the staff after that it's by the ski resort that radiates with fun and excitement (i had an amazing time this year making a set to private family christmas movie over there) um we got some fried pickles (with i think ranch dipping sauce) too yeah the food it was prepared well and tasty it was hot and fresh um not sure what my parents thought of it think the prices seemed reasonable the wood of the building inside  seemed like it'd be nice to be with a little bit of a group and that's something that later on i thought was a little requirement for the restaurant as opposed to the fast food was your party size um it was good um i guess on the road with family it was a good stop before back on the road again

fort belvoir commissary

heads up if you're not in the mil system for eligibility you will not be able to come here it is a benefit that i have and use and am thankful for

omg oh my god this place is soo good um i've been here since i left georgia occasionally there were actually a few times where i was a little bit scared to go i think that was the return to duty thing i didn't want to do and when i was saying obama's presidency was like politically scary a sort of heightened period (i remember dark skies and introductions to prescriptions then while the trend was the interracial homemade sex videos) or something like not getting arrested or something i think that's what it was

but so i did come around um though too honestly other places can get competitive i was a loyal costco customer for a little while (that was when i was living in bucknell and honestly here was something i thought of but i think the answer about this was the toilet is what it'd be all about anyways it was i thought what if i had friends on fort belvoir or other ones like me being longterm there and a local i guess like when i was in ga understanding peoples relocation) um and like social work on other places there's a lot of good grocery stores around here there's safeway target walmart shoppers wegman's harris teeter giant k market super h mart lotte but those are further out asian ones

so lately the other week my mom and me went here had a blast also this evening i think we're going to go too i actually posted on my blog pictures of what i got and i'll watch that as a pseudo tv show

so another one was i thought sometimes the other patrons here are so nice and loving what i'd compare the vibe to would be like a service dog around people a lot of people love dogs um another was sometimes when i went here i'd get a little bit excited and almost like theatrical referencing like movies i'd seen or other stuff live music i was there for

so i have my military benefits and believe in them not to say i was brainwashed that that was the whole answer um here last time going aisle by aisle there was so much to look at and so many subtle differences in stuff like little special things offered here that aren't elsewhere though too i've seen other places have that too like a walmart in woodstock va has wahlburger pickles when i fell under that spell the movie star mark w

so the whole experience is an absolute joy like at the end the other day we had a bagger who was a old veteran who was working and he helped us with our bags (and i had a friend when i was younger whose family was here) and my mom tipped him some of the excitement to think of here was like when we went to the navy exchange in va beach or thinking of when my dad met my mom when he was a soldier in monterey california these beautiful picture memories the glory days so to speak lately a little bit of one for me was exile on main street i told the barber that and i think they raised an interested counter it was george strait who i didn't know that well

so i'd think of this almost two sided i think using my phone while in some ways following amish ways of life anyways i think i'd gotten upset at mil before but the counter is when i come here and get in and look around i'll see people too who seem so heroic and helpful and good and the topper is they're making my life better and easier and filled with joy

superbowl's coming i'd think of like little specific things that help with whichever holiday or event (and too from coming here like little things coming back to me like thinking of other stuff like that go to the source then things trickle off after that like if you think of being thankful for your grandparents while they're around almost like fairy magic or something) the other day my mom got a family pack of steaks that were not only delicious they were a good price so yeah some of the stuff i'd like i felt like a big winner when my parents and me had that meal like i contributed too though my mom likes a butcher we pass on our way home in front royal

it's quite ridiculous but i'd almost feel like i was getting a high coming here with the shopping experience i'd find great things here and then there'd be like the mil people like i think my cousin was a va survivor title (it was some of the visual with that when he came to me) and his dad was vietnam so some of that was like when i had fun with him staying at my house (though had some rules to follow too) um like different displays and presentations being comfortable and reassured

who remembers before this so some of that was before alexandria and fort belvoir built the new stuff so some of that was like before wegman's and the countless other places came here when it was like deserted some what ghost town like then like the new px built and everything will that just last forever a few times i worried over what the future will portend

so a great time here good prices lots of intricate selection um very warm and loving inside a blast to get to

route 11 diner

so i've been here twice and both times were good um i ordered a grilled cheese and a cup of chili the first time and the next time a ham and cheese with a cup of chili (i thought the food ingredients here were good something in my brain thinking it was creamy and salty enough like the farms surrounding here) my parents food looked good i saw one time my dad got a country fried steak with brown gravy and i think mashed potatoes with gravy and a side of green beans i think i heard them say too this place has new owners now i wasn't really there before then so i didn't know about that

the inside is nice enough one little memory i had that was a fun day dream fantasy was a scene from a movie it was called wanderlust what was entertaining was it was a story about a guy who had a commune and lived off the grid the scene i am referencing was when he'd every so often go to the diner in town and have a meal so that was something i thought looked cool though even so maybe some inappropriate parts in the movie i didn't like but where i am at now i think i'd humor the idea but never really do it (maybe one excuse would be following va rules) though i'd see a house by the bridge going through bentonville that looked entertaining there was a trailer and tents in addition to the big house

so a little bit of the mentality here for me would be thinking of the future like one story was comparing myself to a colleagues parents from public school like some of that would be did he lose his benefits and the reasons and explanations behind that like maybe myself pessimistically thinking relationships wouldn't work for whatever reason or other wildcards not using marijuana and even on that note maybe my own incorrect views like at times being miserly in addition to being alone like better off staying at home with groceries to save money or not wanting to do the stuff to get off ssdi that loop i think i looked up i could make like $1200 a month to stay below the radar on keeping my disability but previously there was where i said what i dealt with that didn't change the stigma and logic to it being better off or being slandered

so thus far in this new region with my move i've been alone (though with my parents too) but maybe productive too um but now seeing the dead end on that too avoiding injuries i don't complain um maybe being thankful for all that is there now (my lawfulness lately) like getting somewhat of a second chance back when i was in terror over debts or other stressful scenarios

i guess another one would be the other day when i was getting my haircut i was telling the barber how that's been a new tic for me lately is getting my haircut enjoying that (i think some more of that was like my staying uniform or not getting complaints) so some more of that is like how there were times i liked 'surcharged' stuff so some of that was like one question i asked once was what does the restaurant do (a great memory i had around that time was my parents took me to bertucci's and we got a family order some meaty pizzas and i was daydreaming about robert pattinson the actor) there were other ones i appreciated like licensed real estate professionals or licensed bartenders or like i said the licensed barber so enjoying the restaurant experience conversation the menu selection um the trip there (that maybe slightly countered with the thought to fund vices hobby supplies or pseudo investing too the mindmapping maybe that was a bad habit i had of saving money on food to use on supplies)(what i was getting at was a previous bad habit was a budget revolving around vices like when i got exposed to smoking before the decriminalization and legalization that lifestyle um though now maybe thinking this stuff is better than that like i wouldn't want to go do that now so that like way of thinking instead like i better do this before something bad happens)

so yeah no negativity (some of it was like thinking of things being unfair or changed like when i said there were things that happened that didn't seem fair like student loans i had to immediately pay mine moving to germany only to be forcibly brought back staying retired people trying to mislead me into going back in when they never went in a single time being a homeowner when women said parts about being considered now look at me) um so this is in edinburg over by woodstock i think

um it is a predominately white crowd here um on our first trip here my dad recognized a classmate while we were waiting to give our order to the waiter

so a bite to eat here um didn't really pay attention to the price too much um it's a pleasant dining experience being in public with other diners at other tables within eye sight

so yeah i have my personal not necessarily social work stuff or how with my 'second chance' arriving at ebenezer scrooge as a template to follow it was that yeah everything here was great maybe for a second i was a little butt heart thinking things weren't fair

chikfila

how do you love a business so posing that question i mean people use a business but how many truly love it (and even more so how many could be neglectful or how to have that relationship) anyways i have always for years had great experiences with chikfila so this new one is no different but so here's sort of where i logically arrived at being the answer it's that chikfila is sort of the template for business they seem to profit and know what they are doing they have the steady flow of customers and follow the rules

so today i went with my parents and i got what i've been getting lately that was a spicy chicken sandwich combo so waffle fries unsweet tea and a cup of chicken noodle soup with saltines and then a ranch packet and a polynesian packet so the food was consistent as usual and tasty a little picture i saw that seemed entertaining was i saw a posting for a movie i skipped it was called the automat i think it was about this like jewish food service where you take what you like from the heat trays or something it looked appetizing and i thought of some of that with here where there's practically instantly ready anything from the small menu

so everything was really good like one thing i appreciated a lot was the price seemed affordable so being where i was with life it went well um the ambiance is good enough i guess like there's other guests there and things go somewhat quick

so what's more there really to say um when i used to do the surveys i think one question would be about the different fast food joints if you had a favorite or parts about that so this place is pretty good and unique um in that way i think actually each individual fast food joint can be great in it's own ways i love chipotle that blend popeye's louisiana kitchen mcdonald's classic american burger king the flame broil taco bell mexican roy rogers the westerns hardee's rarer around here wendy's every menu item

i think i heard some of this companies like ideals are good like a christian faith and not working on the sabbath closed sundays um did notice a little bit of a 'white people' thing here like that represented but not racist and other demographics here too workers in the system

so it's fast it's cheaper it's quality it's healthy it's a chain it's reliable sometimes we'd go to the i think haymarket location while on the road

oh yeah another so also i thought they may seem to help with something oddly enough i mentioned that was semi concern for homeless people (and not knowing all there is to know about that like how common or who is eligible like sort of learning social workers saying that happens to musicians) so it'd be like is a little something being set there to help a hobo like people fighting other stuff hunger drug addiction um extra sauce or scraps

men's warehouse

so on my way here my dad told me what to expect and that probably saved me from any foolishness or pigheadedness (thinking to get the suit baggy so i can have it for longer if i get fatter)

so basically for a thousand dollars i got two great suits um the floor person was extremely helpful getting my sizes and stuff to try on the process of getting my suit was a breeze (as opposed to trying to track down maybe ratty stuff from the thrift store) so my mom was there with me too these were going to be for sunday catholic mass

so i got two suit tops and two suit bottoms the pants that is um two button down shirts a belt and three pairs of socks and one pair of leather shoes it was very well done um thinking of like how i am doing well like no dangerous vices it seems and my like presentability i was ready to do this and nothing interfered (see funding drug addictions or other circumstances maybe out of control hobbies) i now have two good suits for formal occasions if need be so i think i'll have to occasionally get them dry cleaned and still do ok

the retail experience was comforting and timely rolled right through no troubles and the cool side of the company i think they said they're with joseph a banks too and i think i got a coupon i'll see about using

um the floor person as stated was really helpful um i'd think a little too of like this story i was at that nat's stadium for a concert so the floater security people you can see from your seat sort of show you the best choices like things in this case a similar direction maybe someday i'll out grow my suit by being a little bit fat and someone else will use it and i'll have gotten my money out of it from how many times i used it it was this time the yellow shirt staff showed not finishing all my fries and then when they said it a poorer person being angry and their reach span of their budget so little small gestures where possible not to sound crazy with what people are showing like how i can afford it or how i am well off and the poorer person showing up right on time with the message they worker said would be there

so it's nice having the two new suits i don't think i'll have court to use them on um

the price was firm but worth it i did ok somewhat on it like i got these two before there was rumor of another stimulus check being released so some of that like what's focused on to be a retiree whose professional or something other lifestyles out there and characters skaters musicians gamers foodies

no issues everything came out basically perfect my suit was fitting and the best part everything got done pretty quick to so i got the pants tailored and the shirt pressed they did both quick and i got to get all my stuff all set before leaving the store nothing else had to be done and the firm price was affordable too

shaffer's bbq and market

my parents and i got the bbq sampler and it was really good every part of it was great (and this for me being somewhat of a 'homecooked' meal since i don't cook and am single) um the brisket tender the pulled pork sour the chicken smoky the mac n cheese rich the yellow potato salad chunky the sausage yummy i think they had left overs afterwards also i think they got some deserts that looked good

so yeah over here it was completely different demographics than other parts of virginia (alexandria races harrisonburg students luray ages to name a few i'll be at) i was at so some of that was maybe it being rural and predominately white from what i saw while we were there like there looked like some stocky (noticeably tall and strong looking) healthy white guys (also looking to be not drug users) i don't know if that was from farm work or something just an observation

i don't think i witnessed any racism or unniceness (which isn't like a regular thing but there were times where some establishments may have seemed somewhat unhospitable and pointless nothing'll change things like mean faces or other stuff coldness or poor service too lots of stuff like that that can happen) we were treated good the blonde woman was friendly enough and generous enough also a different slightly reoccurring one was i don't think i felt any military (like being insulted or excluded or too being misled) or disability stigma (or offensiveness) during our trip some of that being like one explanation being the scrooge miser outlook

so the ambiance was good enough it was like i think a convenient store um we got a table to the right behind some fridges there was a window with sunlight also i got to use the bathroom while we were here also the food was much different than other places i'd been i don't know if that's some different supplier or something like the country stuff

um i've had some other places that had a similar bbq spread there's famous dave's that chain um 1835 elkton pave mint front royal

i had a good time maybe for the best i got a good enough portion as opposed to overeating and indulging in gluttony um the road trip continued along smooth we came this way from winchester um

based on how many people were there i have no idea how well they were doing with the hustle of the business like not having food expire or the traffick (something i think i didn't do as a retiree but like the part about understanding keeping  things afloat peoples overhead like some of that would be using my  brain about making sense of a business) a later sort of reality for me was understanding that business was sort of like chikfila like that many customers and streamlined pureness but then again there are many good like mom and pop's too many good entrepreneurs who weather the storms and stay around forever

su pollo restaurant

had a phenomenal meal here with my mom the other day so we parked and went in soon i realized how different it was here like maybe seeing a 'seedy' person (i think it's next to a hotel we parked near a turn off from the traffic light) or the poorer neighborhood (and the cool side over here by the wendy's who when their dine in was open was fun or other stuff a nearby disability group hq um mount vernon) seeing some minorities (maybe use the term 'sanctuary city' at parts compared to me seeing other parts of virginia rural southern whites) here and a huge note being it being outside ft belvoir (that being like a huge detail in my head the whole time and comparing that to other places like augusta and fort gordon people saying army bases were like a arm pit)(and with that a few times feeling like i got to get messages delivered to old coworkers like updates or something um a sense of urgency with when i was in and knowing that being enlisted) so some of that was like i told my mom this place was a like a war zone (maybe thinking like mad max desolation or something the like highway and survival) i remembered food trucks in deustchland when we were in the field so some of that being like the 'third world' vibe like some of that thinking of like star wars like the movie set where some stuff doesn't work all the way or too the hallucination like the technology there using vehicles and computers and too the dirtiness and like durable gear worn

i think we'll go back again soon when we do our shopping trip to the army px and commissary maybe this friday unless we pick something else um there's chipotle but so it's nice pairing this on our trip to the installation

so the reason we went here was we were on our way to the px and the commissary but i think my mom said she didn't want the food at the post exchange food court so in my head i was thinking this place wouldn't be good but i was completely wrong so some of it was one thing i said was the food tasted like they stole some of kfc's chicken and did it their way so it was great rotisserie chicken the sides were good too we got a salad with dressing beans and rice and plantains (we had split i think a half chicken combo and i got a i think cream soda with it i think my mom got a purple drink) um one time when i was loopy on meds i had had a different rotisserie chicken place that i wasn't sure if i liked maybe it was not being as attended too or something but this time it was very good every part of the meal was tasty the yellow rice too was really good

so in here it was actually a little dim but very pleasant (i think there was a soccer game maybe on and there was a flow of customers some for pick up some dine in) like i said i could see like the whole connection to the base like another was when there were different ethnics in the army unit like africans or puerto ricans (and other spanish variations) um asians whites so the chicken was really good i liked the skin on it it was on the bone and melted off had a good flavor um i clicked the website for them before i came and the menu was simple enough i opted for the chicken instead of the steak and cheese i considered i think that was because this is a chicken joint like that being their specialty

so yeah it was a great time i guess i was some what reflecting on my army years i think that was 2009-2011 little parts about that (the acu's um germany georgia um active duty the wtb) and some stuff that didn't change (benefits um the va) um georgia fort meade the washington dc va

um i'm not sure if initially i saw the 'novelty' to here like kfc the colonel or taco bell mexican or mcdonald's keith r sometimes little associations roy roger's westerns but maybe i was mistaken the place if i remember right has now been there for quite some time so they're rock and rolling i guess um yeah everything was great and the price was ok also i thought this may have been a very smart pick from my mom to choose being outside the base so it was some of that excitement about to go get her signed up for her guest pass then go through the gate and go shopping clothes toys other stuff um groceries and that awesome time with fort belvoir my mil benefits

in d barbershop

a childhood going into being an adulthood (when i had to order american eagle girl pants or later when i'd buy dvds at the thrift store where i'd use three dollars and some change to get a icehouse forty from seven eleven) of great service here so some of it um i moved in 5th grade and quickly got introduced to many of the permanent local owners (being in belle view elementary) who many were extremely nice and helpful (though too understanding some of the woos of being a owner the almost like obsession at parts or following the real estate agreement) like am vets sherwood alx music um popeye's mt vernon recenter previously eagle and empire just some longterm personalities to know

so here is a beautiful picture it was me in middle school (we'd have america online with girls and guys um football games the 2000s cds in keeping secrets of the silent earth 3 coheed) with a shag this place was just around the corner from my friends house where we'd skate take the bus to springfield mall before it closed um spend the days where he'd usually be focused on guitar (later he made a vinyl that i was impressed with) so it'd be hanging out there and despite smoking being introduced that wasn't like the whole central focus maybe for me it was wphs down the hill and just wanting to party or something some pre worker life stuff like getting snacks at 711 and being happy with life fastly going from being teens so i'd dodged getting haircuts before but even back then they were nice giving me maybe a beatles style (i think it was a nod to beatles for sale that cover) or other rocker doo's (i was into myspace for anyone who caught that swell of social media working)

my dad and brother had been here too before and maybe they knew some good directional guidance like me floating into the army and knowing some of those heroes the neighbors and cinemaesque egotistical um pride with grooming me into being a retiree on disability sort of

um i think most of them are asian (specifically i assume korean) and it's cool too (the bbq is really cool thinking about it too like healthy and fun when i made my homemade family movies independence day) like some of the little sort of stereotypes from different demographics ('playful' blacks um industrious hispanics um southern whites other categories the family neighborhoods that make up fairfax county fort hunt) like the look of maybe saving money and having been there a while (seeing my friends house and some 'foreign' stuff with the decorations inside shoes off or weathered stuff) no problems what so ever

so i knew the original owner somewhat some of that was like the son being near my age and some of the cool parts with that like when there were smokers and then later thinking i almost got like second hand money laundering from not having an issue with 'users' (a huge one i was surprised more people didn't comment on was when i kept saying the decriminalization and legalization of marijuana in virginia though there was how i said the technicality federally is it still seems illegal) though i am on a 'fixed income' so i was popular to today maybe compliant lawful fearful and other parts like going to church every sunday for catholic mass tithing charitably um a little anxiety thinking of staying far from being put in a bad place over court and jail

so i believe they are licensed barbers and that's like a huge thing to me the formality (up there with like a real estate license) um once we were talking and there was some younger guys there and i think some of them were going through school and i mentioned how this place probably helped me get the diploma too like little things or pointers and maybe foolishly being so glad i got that high school graduation done and enjoyed too like another story i had followed somewhat was a group the orwells who were somewhat successful but maybe headed down a hard part of life the lead singer i think said he had dropped out of high school

i think tomorrow i might try to pop in for a haircut so these days it's a hell of a lot more like high strung parts like not wanting complaints or cops called (i think i am coming up with an exit strategy for my 'hobbies' and being safer too like quitting skateboarding and longboarding) on me so the tic of thinking about how other homeowners older than me like details is that dentures is that hearing aids is that alcoholism is that a service animal is that a stateworker is that car troubles *were they sodomized and others of not interested in goals va families too that being my real center of reassurance i know i have a place to live and some future provided for i can be like that guy (which was the tic i mentioned that really grew at my last dc va hospital visit which was ok and i am glad it wasn't worse)

oh so forgetful me um the price is probably the best there is around here um honestly maybe a little cheaper then the bv shopping center one um they have some flow of customers and seem successful lately i was loyal

boston market

ok so here goes um came here the other night with my parents i got my food the meatloaf seemed a little lower quality but the price seemed sort of way easier (maybe this was stuff i forgot about with when for a little while i did surveys i thought i had some genius brilliant ideas i shared freely before my recent concept was like designer poor like walmart but some like universal effect i really got a kick out of once upon a time in hollywood with brad p in his trailer with his dog and the character he was the assistant though on the movies note i was ignorant to later learn i think some of their parents were divorced spielberg tarantino tom cruise mark wahlberg so that adjustment of course) too but it was good enough um also the cashier was extremely nice and welcoming um so that good heart behind it

so a little bit more here's one sort of takeaway i'd think of with this place um i think i heard boston was a left wing city so that represented here (democratic favoritism) um also i think i heard some neighbors where i was before could have that side favored (political participation on voter days)(if even for social work reasons like when i said my lessons with sgt wilson in georgia like one was maybe being politically abstinent though voting republican i think that was followed with a incarceration promise threat that i heeded) i saw some people in common areas and we each were dealing with our own lives (i remembered a classmate having a les mis graphic t shirt when we were at the bus stop in public school)(and some kids more knowledgeable when interviewing their peers 'what do your parents do' or 'what do you want to be when you grow up') like now my va relationship that maybe dependency (this time not in a bad way using the term 'spirit broken' or 'the ceiling' maybe previously on a 'guest pass' but the uniformity or the real sense of lawfulness like maybe being unable to work or a counter being when either side appears to get the upper hand i think some more of that was like i think some people have responded to my political a word for stupidity or inability with some spin but it was showing how i did get the things i wanted or other balances so there were families i remember in our little fish tank of how far you can go so too each side gets their turn and now i think i am sort of going to replace some of the old home owners more of that was another story was my childhood friend his granddad is a senator and i feel like i got semi indoctrinated and brought in with that maybe some sense of loyalty and logic to the alignment rewards incentives versus losses and troubles the ultimatum like other stuff childhood poverty or grossnesses and what answers being delivered so) um vet assumptions (how does he stay home all day and afford a mortgage before later learning of disability like when i enjoyed pkd clans of alphane moon these crazy disability scenarios from phil dick reading into that lifestyle and thoroughly enjoying the creative element playfully) the two party system the 'party lines'

having somewhat failed at my hobbies but somewhat had small victories here and there 'when i was going to be a professional guitarist'

so the brand i trust they've been at the top of the hill forever (and that seemingly a formula auto prolific)(my parents and me seem to do ok they've been at it for some years) um i've seen a few different faces through the years that i may have remembered um there was a time when things seemed greatly different even too like this being the first of it's kind of the 'fast casual' or that like middle class slight improvement for people like you hear of stuff like on ssdi i can't make more than one thousand dollars (and then later things to factor in paying taxes on a non guaranteed salary after having been 'stigmatized') if you do you'll lose your disability so understanding that or other stuff off topic like the marijuana decriminalization and marijuana legalization but then federal laws and going to the va so missing that sort of opportunity it's shocking that it's now available without all the hassle

so some more um i think the quote i heard telepathically or from the street kids was something like 'here's the reason you don't do that' and that was 'zero tolerance' like this guy following all the rules (and then other back story patrick stewart gripes built up and then an example made of someone or something) and then if someone doesn't just being obliterated and done (a terrifying word i found out later that i didn't necessarily know was in existence was the term a 'mandatory minimum sentence') there was other rules i heard that i followed too like i think one i heard changed before was your va mortgage has to be where you live so some of that like when my dad told me the way the law sort of works is like you get away with it then you get caught you don't get caught the first time or something

um so i guess i am on another planet as a hermit or 'crazy' person some catch 22s thanks

just had lunch here was very impressed with the thanksgiving special they had advertised (my dad says i'm a sucker for marketing) but anyways i got a great pseudo home cooked meal i had meatloaf with gravy mac n cheese mashed potatoes with gravy the inside was nice to sit at the stools in beacon mall close to where i live pretty good franchise i think there's one on post at ft belvoir i had some excitement in me from the upcoming holidays the nice seasonal joys such as seeing the stuffing they had as a option on sides going back to the special i saw and what made me feel good and happy about the gimmick (and i love gimmicks) it was seeing me by myself trying to make the most of holidays such as richmond university memories of undergrad student life pabst

happy mini mart and deli

ok so my mom found this place so one day i drove my 2019 ford escape (which was awesome i keep my car in good condition but sometimes they'll drive me more but this time i scooped mom up and off we were to cut through town to check this place out) so we pass the record store on the way here um we walk in and it is a i think convenient store that is pretty cosy and cool and stylish i might think of like 'third world' (unoffensively getting that properly said or shown) parts like if you ever go to europe and see things it's not like america some of the maybe simplicity from which ever technology is used or something (a reoccurring one would probably be the rolling stones look) so then one thing that happened to be around the same time was if you want you can look this up on youtube it's the church hypnogogue youtube.com/watch?v=1_zk… um some of that was like i thought it looked like some indian god but then the other half was so much like cosiness and style like one thing i remembered was when i'd go to the venues then during the week the cleaner would come and also i'd sometimes shop at thrift stores that whole conglomerate blended then so some rock and roll look going on a big one back then was going to rock and roll hotel on h st (a bit of trivia was they used to be a funeral parlor) in washington dc

so it's like 'carry-out' food which was the bomb i mean i've been to places where you can pick up the food and go (the paperbag with a plastic bag around it the containers) and it's some novelty to it like the chinese (though i prefer dine in and though the beggars banquet rolling stones feast can be good too some presentation or 'showmanship' with it) so i think it's indian and what we got was good i think my order was the chicken tikka masala i ate every bite and it was good (i think i had leftovers that i finished later on) the chicken sauce and the yellow rice my mom ordered some more stuff (dumplings naan bread samosas) that i had some of but i thought maybe it was going to go to waste had a tall arizona green tea here

so the dine in was very nice when we were there we happened to i think be next to some british people where i was talking to my mom like parts like thinking what i heard the whole travelor friendship would be was toilet troubles so inside they had gambling machines that were cool um it was more like a independent owned 'bodega' that was nice um

so from here um being a writer and what to partake in um the cook cashier his voice was a little quiet though but i don't think we had any trouble everything was delicious and a nice other country vibe going on the vacation destination and seeing tourists

ledo pizza

ok so i'll try not to editorialize this too much with hit or miss entertainment quips and jokes

so last night my parents and i came here it's the end of december about to be new years eve so one thing i mentioned was the pizza is really good with how generous they are on the toppings like you see the square pizza where it's not like some other places where the cheese and toppings are in the center then at the back end it's just crust no this is different here the entire pizza is covered with cheese and whichever topping

so i'd think of this place like i'd think of some of jersey mike's the chain products (i really liked that place for a little bit but i moved or other reasons why i didn't always go there my budget bracket though recently maybe this is entertaining i think there was a raise on my ssdi so that balancing out) the franchise foods here are really good last night we had the spicy ravioli's perfect some wings with blue cheese also another banger um spaghetti so it having some of the great side to the chain like another place i really liked (that actually closed then came back bigger was wendy's) something about the like concession type food where it's heated up and good another thing i saw a trailer for but didn't make it to was a movie about a 'automat' that looked good the hot foods to pick out other stuff that i've liked a good buffet or some 'party foods'

everyone here was nice and there was some people coming by (that was where maybe i was wrong where i assumed these places need lots of traffick like maybe other things about that think about chikfila how many people go there and that business)

so inside the ambiance is pretty good um off route (driving at night maybe mix ups previously over hbo was i offended by sopranos and were my parents offended by entourage in addition to little details revealed mark wahlberg's personal life respectfully but still um so being with my parents and my own style and look the templates) one um by the apartments so maybe too thinking of this place as an alternative to the big 3 there's bv primo's the tour buses there there's bh pizzaria outside the golf course there's mama's kitchen near the new shopping center with mcalister's those seeming busy and anyways so here um they had some temporary offerings before that were cool i think they had a korean one and now a chorizo one um

isn't there a pizza hut by kfc that'd probably be really good too though i don't think it's as much of a dine in restaurant those in the 90s

i think the menu says it's a family business and it appears to be a good thing to 'invest' in like sometimes this was a story when i was living on cavalier in bucknell when i was getting off drinking (though it took a little to quit all the way and there'd always be another which venue which artist) somewhat what'd happen is i'd be laying in my bed somewhat over medicated in a cloud and a hazy daze and then i'd start thinking of where i would want to eat at (by myself when i had my pepper white hardtop mini cooper) kfc the good fried chicken popeye's aren't they mil related (though i think this is a spoiler i did vomit from there food more then once at the one by the recruiter and didn't think it was a coincidence after that happened a few times i didn't know the sherlock explanation to it but i might have them on the not for me list as of now though i see other people going there regularly religiously with apparently no issues so there's that) um jersey mike's the big kahuna thinking of the waves the beach new jersey a entrepreneur driving richmond highway there um roy rogers the cowboy the fried chicken um burger king they had those on army bases in the food court beefy bob and edith's a mom and pop place mcdonald's classic american and dine in so yeah i'd maybe look at their website on my smartphone or think of which place oh and taco bell who i miss their volcano menu so much that was the bomb

yeah lately maybe i've become a little bit more of a foodie (see not using *decriminalized *legalized drugs any more basically no smoking never went as far as heroine psychedelia stuff um drinking and my meds would probably kill me and i stopped before that got that far) so what to center around an appetite for life

what's public opinion of sticking with your family so with that it's like logical reasoning for it but maybe there was stigma or tuning it up right what overlaps appropriately and in good taste with that

since i've used yelp i've suspected a few things one people giving me the over the top perfect health inspector treatment (even like i was a inconvenience for participating with yelp even though they're only 5 star reviews) some people not wanting a review of them (maybe privacy or ownership) um some wanting a good review put up and being ready and able um just a few things about i guess this social media spot

so it's the fairfax county side of virginia getting used to that not capital booze rules so my public school wphs grad um

two fat butchers

i am very happy with this place so here's some more um my mom comes here and gets i think meats that later she'll cook for me and my dad (burgers chicken gyros breakfast dinner entrees) when we get back to luray so this being a checkpoint on the way back from overnighting in alexandria (northern va)(and how much is there to do around us in luray so eating in nearby regions harrisonburg and those outskirts warren county um woodstock stanley) like some story mode integrated with a rpg with cruisin' usa visuals (to make this more entertaining with the unraveling of how much i can think of for this enjoyable errand to make the dream come true to have a life with things to do in some way though 'reality' don't talk to strangers censorship other 'ceilings' avoid complaints)(no i don't need to be hospitalized i'm on my meds)

i think i saw inside the two fat butchers supported local youth sports teams so that was a good feel on that um the community involvement and this meat is probably good for barbequing in the summer the hot dogs

a big memory for me too was remembering both cousins over here (then too there's other relatives around here)(each persons character and description and personality) some of that being the 90s on blast (nick trl) other parts um the front royal charm um intellegencia some of those memories were so good ice cold elementary school and guidance from there the best parts to soak up um the of the era things peebles and some of that before front royal exploded with businesses the walmart 'prophesied' of for them the school pictures leaving this city temporarily

so things i think were from here were breakfast meats (sausage bacon scrapple) chicken hamburger pork chops (i don't know if we've gotten steaks here i know we've had them from costco) but so what i really like is it feels like intelligent and stylish and maybe rewarding or intellectually stimulating that's it so what my mom will do is there's a product we got that was out a little while ago blackstone griddles so that let's us cook at home sort of professionally this whole do it yourself vibe (with a propane tank and a backup) going on so some more of that is i believe this should usually be a great money saver and i love money (recently my answer to life is scrooge and the seasonals here were great heart warming i think we got a turkey here for thanksgiving in november) so that being a huge incentive more reasons to enjoy staying home (the lounge the cafe the dorm the studio the suburbs other housing references savored being walkable being near common grounds) um could be less processed too so maybe healthier too

so i saw they had pickled stuff here that looked good the store near me has been sold out for a while so i'll actually just order pickled eggs and pickled sausages from walmart online um i saw they had some tasty looking potato salad and pasta salad if i got that i'd have to make sure i could finish it before it went bad and expired since i am by myself

um so everyone here seemed nice enough (some of it being the like hard line of what's what like when clubs could seemingly make stuff kosher over invisible sections based on cash purchases though too forgive us our trespasses the catholic teaching so inside blues belly that's my recent term for my hunger and style with each meal to think of cool dead black guitar men on vinyl album covers) um with the company name i'd think i'd seen this before like old fat people who appeared successful one i remember was a guy at the ford lincoln dealership by rt 1 and five guys in alx who i think died someday but looked like he made it quite far and was well fed maybe too a southerner hard working so enjoying the food as a thing to not bring up like elvis that picture which is a cool counter but some moderation and being laid back to be a foodie like enjoying a homemade pizza with meats on it or something

so a little bit more yeah this place has a 'good energy' (a exhale of relief) that was something the other day my mom noted that i repeated um it feels pretty good here and um i guess being a little fatter and happier um it's like a whole story line to it you do your like gta mission if you will car stops mom goes in picks up car goes back on road later food customization hahaha that's pretty funny with like the graphics on it like the cartoony or the realism

um so front royal i might be naive and not know it as well (that note thinking of police and stereotypes ignorant to local lore) but that's where this is at it's close to the spelunkers we'll go to um near some other stuff salvation army fox's pizza jiffy lube um past the martins where blue ridge hospice is

so yeah mom getting the raw goods to cook up food for me and dad unless my brothers stopping by to visit in town um

so around here um shenandoah um mountains but this more so being the city part um when we'd eat on the porch at my parents that comfortable spot screened in with the sunlight and the weather summer time um

assante's pizza

ok so this was many years ago i had i believe it was assante's pizza on two different occasions both times i was treated by friends because i was sort of that poor from being a failing student who partied hard but had to figure out a way to pay back what i got (fortunately no extra debts no credit cards or other stuff)

so a little detail on what'd i'd think of associating with this place was like the starting a new life or 'flying the coop' so to speak so um once i was with a sort of smoking crowd (bongs coffee table couches late night tv um bedrooms) in a the fan townhouse and i was graciously given a few slices (and too thinking of other semi 'young adult' platforms like going skiing with colleagues or going to the beach with roommates or something) another time in hindsight maybe i was sort of 'squatting' off w franklin (and graced by a angelic blonde woman) so each time i may have thought of things i sort of went as far as i could (i call it the 'ceiling' and i guess being unargumentative or easy going) like an excuse being i morally thought don't ditch my parents so yeah i returned sort of i mean i have my own separate house (now and this is my second property where previously i had richmond on the brain in bucknell alexandria but reality was a little different then the end of teenage years dropout) but i still am in the background but some of it seemed like people like on a new path or something more self centered and on a new adventure the college town (me suspecting the family parts and)

so um the pizza was scrumptious um i'd think of 'gross' parts too like others admiring things i had my connections or my libertine life (thankful if i had a warrant i never did court time or anything else)(recently i confessed that i think the scenario was a professor asked if i'd do a favor then later i did graffiti on a roof)(coeds numbers that'd pick up um knowing how to get cannabis um friends with cars who'd help um lots of these useful things back then in my verizon flip phone on my parents plan my cousin and my older bro getting me gear and guidance) until then i didn't submerge further (rumors you could make it without mil like the legend of henry miller) instead i sort of backed into enlisting and fortunately retiring and getting on disability from there i am confused but believe the answer is to be miserly like scrooge for my own survival and well being so hope battling 'reality' (adultery and horrible things sodomy)

so a little thing back then that sort of makes sense is if someone gets cornered enough with pointed questions are they 'gay' so some understanding like hanging with dudes all the time (it's fun hanging out but then other stuff can surface gossip um people questioning your sexuality)(another was a later surmised the county or the country or whomever you can sort of get cornered into stuff the voters um marriage and home ownership) or not wanting to get married (could be too difficult or other excuses not wanting to get divorced others counting on you too) and later that stuff being bold like learning of 'lgbtq' (and not having issues with it either mostly)

so back then um i think both times we might've actually walked there (so seeing that and when there was so much involvement the bicyclists with messenger bags distant far away spots where people rented) so this was like the 3d high of being immersed in that (even at times a like surrealistic perspective am i really here is this really happening) like all the art school their booming effect on the city so the small version would be like seeing a game master running a scenario like zombie apocalypse and seeing the terrain the figures the dice that distant fantasy then the other side would be like smoking weed throughout the day high quality thc buds even other add ons to further it people playing dnd that trip um lsd out there too um other cities tying into here video games and sort of honestly almost reaching a delusional psychosis in a new expedition like your friends simulate replaced others this new lifestyle

so back to reality i think what i heard and heeded (i always hear the 'old wives tales' the 'common knowledge' the 'hearsay' the 'warnings' etc) so it'd be not having any business here so i'll narrate this when i returned with a paycheck in processing from the va i semi daydreamed to go live in richmond and live my life there as a free lancer maybe a hipster um bohemian but i think one big wall i heard could be on there was a apparent force field that you need the student hall pass to do that otherwise you'll be creepy or on the outs so another on that was i thought some i left when i went my own way had been left in a les miserables scenario students government revolution

so there was the logistics and the principal of where to live as somewhat of a creative type blogging painting guitar piano miniatures writing recording videos photos um skateboarding longboarding to rattle off some 'artschool' habits um now i am in luray va

campfire grill

well it's christmas day i slept in and thought today i'd get around to leaving a good review (the only kind i do if even too voicing whatever) for this place

this place was an absolute dream every second of it so my family comes here yesterday evening after earlier my brother and his family skied for a little bit and we visited and hung out in the by the food court (which was nice i said i thought a obama era goal was for people to have accessible education stuff like the college experience with dignity and this place was charming and sweet some common areas with strangers) so we got to see some of the ski resort um (one time i was here and maybe i was confused one side was thinking like support america and be the almost martyr veteran then the other side too was this reoccurring thought i got to at one point that a lot of the world someone is suffering somewhere and to help out so this time i was not butt hurt or 'offended' some of that being like excluded or taunted or other repeated things that get me to like 'leave me alone')

so one part was me being a little type cast as the army veteran guy think clint eastwood no filter or jd salinger mental illness or stan lee heroic admiration so what really set a tone for me was everyone was um sensitive what i mean was i've had times where people may have tried to intentionally hurt me (flaunting women or other things i was denied) but this was the complete opposite it was a beautiful like short vacation vibe like some more background was when i was younger i heard people question me and maybe even 'steer' me a little to joining the army and life from there being able to provide for myself and even be lazy so everyone here was tip top floor model behavior like if they were 'civilian' they were respectful and highly professional and even firm (not slacking or being so much 'spirit broken' being one of my terms not naive but not hardened necessarily) like understanding the choices behind that me having been at that dock before where there's ways of not going in and doing ok like how you'll plot that i surmise a car loan or

i saw a older woman who looked separate from the pack like some type of manager owner for the place and that person was very warm (like slang for the vinyls i sort of had a mixed experience with when i finally got to them) so the place has a lot of people in here i noticed there was a surprising amount of black people here this night and earlier um throughout the place it was good happy times

so here was what the repeated term for me was last night 'good energy' my mom pin pointed that note i was fumbling for the words and then i repeated that one a few times so the waitress was kind and attentive seeing the bar from the table they were polished and acceptable um so there was a lot of good conversation bits here the host was skinny and entertaining a smile and then the understanding for the workers that sense of urgency um duty

so we had a nice gap between ordering and the food arriving for talk as opposed to one place i've found for myself being like fast food daydreaming about 711 um the menu was so kind it had this bear cartoon that i thought was like me and my parents keeping going along well (my math being sort of stick to my parents and have my house and that being the future even grossly some other stuff that seemed to not line up for what ever reason hearing of 'sex addiction' or other stuff so 'hobbies')

so we're on the map in my ignorance i register this place as being like a little like a separate city the lodge insides (reminding me of military bases) then the other landmark for me is it's outside harrisonburg so a little back story was i remember when people were smoking and how fun and charming that was (seeing the displays and socializing with it) so some of that was one movie i have enjoyed a lot through the years including in luray where i am now maybe more than a half hour away from massanutten resort so it was blow with johnny depp so some of that was like thinking of the vibrant side that being a reoccurring detail for me was the complacent and the home owner neighbors and then the bustling and alive stuff so distant day dreams about being paid indirectly for repping for that and understanding it smokers then others too

some excitement and relief

so throughout the meal i was like being a writer and thinking of things to contribute to the time we were at our table observant poignant etc um one picture i thought of was like a 30 yr old being here like people treating this place like a beach town 5 o'clock shadow temp stay lodging a girlfriend others the clicks and pictures like 90s snowboarding movies nickelodeon and other ones too james brown i feel good

so the french onion was soup phenomenal and i had the teton forest pizza it was great um so no issues with the food good quality good delivery good presentation i think my dad said his steak was only ok though so i gave him some of my meal because i couldn't finish

vito's pizza pie

to begin um parking and coming in was fun it was a weird floor plan we were greeted by the takeout side (a attractive person answering phones and presentable seemed knowledgeable) before getting to the dine in

so sitting down and ordering our waiter was oozing with caring-charisma (his being the italian style)(some of that was previously my other reviews did someone read them like it looks like i'd be 'wrong' to get off disability and being better off this way some of that being voiced unchanging frustrations sort of to the universe or unknown strangers) um so he stressed this high performance (my parents getting great attention and inclusion)(them having a long road to success as opposed to some of my 'shortcuts') and it all came out good the fried pickles with ranch the mozzarella sticks with marinara those appetizers and my steak and cheese my parents lunch specials they got spaghetti with bread

so a little under current was i was suspecting some type of like the road to perdition scenario going on there for someone (was it me was it him)(also suspecting there was some older maybe grand parent owner who was the true master of this and that his 'patriarch') like when asked if me and my parents were going to split the bill (was he helping me was he dividing us) some of that being like how i thought to stick to my parents or paranoia about what's going on being complacent sort of left home once came back was in the background of the family company now a homeowner

um i think this is a chain and we've eaten at the other location too so some of that was the 'reality' and 'egos' (guessed pompous educated and mean grads selfish too) out there like whether that's doctors (thinking my va dr was keeping tabs on me with some of the other patrons or unknown strangers who may call to complain about me)(and too the va social work being others 'dealbreakers' or non negotiables so isolation) what i was getting at with that was the subtle differences between the restaurant and the fast food both of which can be good (too i might think of me on a 'fixed income' so what i can baseline afford having sympathy for what i guessed about others when i got older the sort of va dependency that relationship and others too like that their 'highest competencies') normally here it'd be like more aristocratic stuff in some ways (maybe suspecting debts countered with vibrancies a degree but other deficiencies families riffs continuing like students or ignorances people seeking needs fulfilled in some capacity education accessibilities) the outfits the crew but the old timers and other crowds can have their displays too unknown background geezer white guys with their circle at mcdonald's talkative fashionable sturdy so some of that being the romance of the community singles adulterers couples husbands and spouses newly relocated ones the crowd townies

there was two older women who came in and got their food who i thought looked like they were regulars and very well treated so momentarily when we got there early i voiced my concern for if they were getting enough people coming through that being like the baseline reality of stuff like here's how much the lease is and profit after doing all that the logistics if you will

so the underlying image metaphor being a stick figure and my price range and how detailed it'd get the tomatoes the olive oil grade the selections wines listed um so the guy had a tattoo (flag of italy) um no problem my brother has some um i would at times voice concern for those over '27s club' stuff (literally a blink and seeing these people fade out dead or) so that being like my suggestion pay these leaders so you get covered with that like me considering the upcoming travis barker show at capital one arena blink 182 is back that for my brother and lots of those i've seen gnr um

so the mafia part the distant feel of different personalities seeing a maybe manager figure southern little over middle aged white guy with a mustache his ears on it and being a boss and then this like where's the old don guy so some of that being my suspicions about others and details about how they got exactly where they were the old neighborhood was there a name change is that a stateworker where'd all the 'friends' and 'glamor' go as opposed to the end picture indoors cable pseudo 'kool aid' impoverishment um institutionalization in some ways and understanding it truly needing a fiduciary stuff out there predatory lending drug addiction heroine alcohol marijuna which was legalized

but yeah for someone 'not crazy' it'd be a good time pay for food and the public society as opposed to other alternatives being a 'miser' and forms of that groceries costco other decisions

so around here i'd think of the outskirts of harrisonburg the jmu city um the nearby ski resort massanutten um need a car to go here not like some other places that can be somewhat walkable it's near your pie too and there's some places to eat around here to choose from

skrimp shack

ok so i had a amazing time here today (and last time too though that was a while back the price was firm though that was when i was funding dc nightlife nights) um where to begin so one thing i noticed uncensored was the workers were black the cook and register (had a few things i was going to say i'd dealt with this before and it was good even great but that could be mislead to being upset i think a insult i dealt with was someone comparing me to a remember the titans movie character so the basically all black cooks in ga though there was other stuff and nuances and parts about that like maybe different birding traits remembering youth sports that pooling of the community the fun and things used by all early social media aol skateboards skate spots going to your friends houses how much fun that was like different heroes not to focus on blacks like there's the stuff you look up to as a kid christian bale as batman that was a part about that 'blm' stuff i thought i contributed to but not under that flag more like there's black history month and there's all of us with heroes martin lawrence who i missed there's always some other name i didn't make it to so yeah i am not racist though parts people may later tell you to your ignorance 'sexual dysfunction' but too the explanations to stuff um recently star players highlights in my fb feed remembering being a losing athlete turnovers touchdowns etc) no problem (and i had resolutions about any potential issues before like dealing with 'reality' for example maybe agreeing with the obama era overpowerment that was the 'crazy' and disability stuff like not being a professional guitarist or one that i remember was 'interracial' sex um another little response on that was like i don't get mad at my dog for some stuff because he's an animal that logic and it's not going to change anything he'll just do that again) and that isn't an issue i had a whole lot i thought of to say talkatively while there and getting back to the pro suite um but forgot some

saw a guy exchange wise friendly words with them and it was cool like a deli chef the warmth socializing um

thinking to of the seafood section at the safeway like this guy is gonna make it and knows what he's doing (he's not apparently a smoker or other issues however he dodged those alcoholics) he's got his niche and the passion for this place is there the heart is real the place is open

one of my new markers that i semi worry for is how 'trafficked' the business is like i'd think there's some italian greek places that all do well bv primo's the tour buses showing up mama's a regular crowd um bh pizzaria people dropping by throughout the day so some all on the same riff sort of that too was like i'd think sort of 'drug dealers' (who pay their bills just like other people) can prosper like their phone getting 'blown up' with calls (did they run out is their a 'drought' what's the hold up for the addicts) and them servicing their clients that counter of seeing people spending their money impulsively the gamblers like myself thinking 'i think these things i go to help my family' (jerry seinfeld is booked in feb and i thought about getting a ticket)

when inside some of the like directions ques are what i truly appreciated there was some church music at one song (not wanting to go down the other road necessarily again the drugs rock and roll attempts etc)(now more family business and maybe distance from cash underworlds gamblers stoners) that just hit deep and well while the food was on blast how good it was so i guess what was a little reoccurring in this part was the workers personalities like i'd been in dc at the va and things i learned that were tremendous helpers from my comrades so that was a little thing in my face that i digested delectably

was saying this place had some of the 'college' vibe to it like that dignity (to be honest at one point i felt a little hurt and sad seeing the kfc logo before later it'd get better actually buying their food and eating it but there was a time where i thought it was a little depressing to be embarrassed and humiliated) and formality with everything other things noted the jimmy buffet vibe the beach and knowing some of the lands around here and the landlords too fort hunt people holin hills bucknell the florida waves rt 1

so everything was perfect like the tightness of everything workers discipline and showmanship (professional staff and from top to bottom everything here optimum found no errors during my visit)(also there were people stopping by and i think from my limited cooking knowledge it'd be possible to pilot this ship like frozen food keeping and keeping the rhythm to the work and) my food was intoxicating how well prepared it was in addition to the quality products

so maybe some 'entertainment industry' lessons 'you'd be better off like this' 'you'd ruin your career this way' 'your competitor is right behind you catching up'

this instead of roy's was refreshing

your pie pizza

the flow chart so here's where i stand i don't think i saw it here but later on i saw many places 'hiring' so some of my conclusions were based on when i returned from the army to be disabled and retired so some of that is like no one will pay me except for the army or no job you get you keep forever (except maybe keith r of the stones as a guitar player) so what i am saying on this is life is unfair and that doesn't change so some of that would be like doing part time shifts but then my first lessons about that rejection complaints excommunication (and later hearsay that was truthful about 'drug' affiliations) so i think there's the workforce and me under pseudo unemployment and stigma ostracization unaccepting earth so that's like i paid the night clubs but found as others warned no room for socialization and that with just about all of america no bohemia no meeting strangers that'd be things like someone not liking me stalking me and complaining or other things the government and big brother um the fbi watchlist um the two party democratic political system um being a drop out so here as par for the course being both held hostage as an american and socially outcast helping my parents under the assumption if i don't they'll get food poisoning and put in a old folks home and also symbiosis where i am helped like not currently being in a active duty unit where there's so many of these things if someone would lesson to me that are unfair a general having sex with prostitutes why can i do the same or being both 'kicked out' of the army yet people literally immediately trying to have me sent back with gross tactics and so much american unkindness a decade experience of not nice people that don't change so seeing the eyes of some workers i just think how lousy all that really is and maybe my mathematical conclusions were wrong like the be a miser so it'd be suspicious civilians being users and uninviting the repeated math that my only choice is to be like a neighbor i saw who appeared to have cable and stay inside and pay for his property and that being my answer from like the county where there's so much of this hypocrisy like drugs are illegal not they're legal or people calling the police on me from this being the trajectory making faces at me me responding cops having me go home and call my parents and then no freedom or good times here just being a miser (and isn't that british and wasn't i going to leave because no one likes american veterans they get treated like dog poop and then too um people unwilling to serve their country but line by line measure for measure horrible things like siphoning benefits or ultimatums um incarceration drug addiction um housing) so inside my pie was not generous as i foolishly ordered what was the small cheap meal to stay healthy for my harrisonburg appointments were college people make mean faces at me for being with my parents because i care about my family so um then it's like true stories like basically a professor is a pimp and i am a lunatic so more crust less toppings then i saw this in a patrick swayze movie someone 'skimming' getting a portion of the clients stuff and then milking that while the customer pays top dollar so my mom got a bigger one that still had the same thing and that's not uncommon for the civilian food industry or for the pizza choices um inside it's basically a glimpse of society from the viewpoint of someone with a ruined career i am no longer a guitarist like the 13th floor elevators roky erickson who i saw at black cat on 14th street or countless other names of time wasted and zero progress with my cassette tape recordings and other albums accumulated

so some of a little of what i was saying was like this workers get to hang out with their buds and do whatever disabled and retired people get to pay their bills be a home owner (and other things you think would be impressive a car loan with credit improving payments) um but yeah everyone is essentially cut off and trouble hoodrat-baby-mamas um divorce waiting va based relationships power scenarios um so i see these people as previously even with my high doses of drugs and have a little disgust contempt disapproval um the sex addicts how that is unfair and forced as stated my hobbies ruined and me just as someone whose paid by the va so you ever see clint eastwood where eagles dare or then the family system where deficiencies are present and me monitoring things to keep everything afloat while others get the life and the passes

so yeah the disability no one will give me a chance and the hole in the story if i get off disability how will i get steady reliable pay (and the holes in the story for how difficult it is to get married and stay married and start a family) so me being on mental health drugs and another would be people trying to continually have me hospitalized but unfairnesses like when i had my student loan i paid and others now with student loan forgiveness um so i can't work under th

thunwa thai cuisine

as a 'former drug addict' (will that intro line get you interested though basically i was being silly and writing while retired and disabled that conclusion a veteran with style aging along smoothly) um basically coming here for asian food was enjoyable (but what did it do the previous mentality to funding excursions being 'high' even neglecting other parts like my food fund or when there was other stuff i'd invest in used clothes that naivety um entertainment movies music literature)(i was medicated thinking what can be done for a good time like the 'highs' of playing dungeons and dragons or the feeling of comraderie with drinkers at the bar some release and fun sequence basically thought of food and hobbies under my constraints)(i was saying the whole what i later deduced was social choices revolving around smoking remember that 70s show on cable or remember being around 18 later the term 'personals' for individualized usage as opposed to like blunt rides or 'throwing fives on it' that whole community involved with it go to someone's sort of lounge and fire it up and then a rolodex of numbers of people who'll pick up and hang out) so what i was saying was the whole interactive map and opportunities being cut off from the whole 'drug underworld' so basically coming here with my parents in a car and leaving afterwards no missions necessarily there no drug addictions either (which i heard warnings of it getting worse and me stopping before then many times i've heeded warnings or common knowledge not knowing how others knew so much about things others aware of the future and what choices were there)

that read and typed rather awkward and bumpy and then i got in the crevices to stretch it along but it was a thing on my mind recently (just once after a day of errands thinking like day dreaming about taco bell but being happier to have the money instead or miserly christmas memories um) so just voicing that musing in a entertaining way for the readers (the 'substance abuse' i was presented with never seemed too inappropriate or vulgar though later there were legal fears and then propaganda like what i didn't get into too much breaking bad instead thinking of it like a pastime like baseball or football or video games at home the stoner brotherhood black sabbath cheech and chong)

um so it's good here driving up it's cool to see that i think it's attached to a hotel at the foot of the hill of the suburbs a few blocks from main street by where i think my family my cousin(s) was at with my aunt and uncle (many of whom i may think wouldn't be to into my narratives in some ways maybe i'm wrong though the adversity faced with producing like another was maybe friendships lost over being 'straight edge' from here on no more common ground of the drugs that apparently later being a deal breaker for people) um the power of the longterm owners looks the christmas in a worn in home families raised in the same place years of that

ok so we'll be in front royal and what to eat there's melting pot ben's thai (very good vibe there in a residential surrounding) too um spelunker's pavemint across the road (the near by diner) el magooey the other side of town with roy's and a japanese grill um cracker barrel over there

so how did i get to marijuana and thai food um well recently a few times with people i announced my shock that cannabis was legalized though i repeated that i believed one i was not eligible and two that it was still illegal (federal laws) um (also that was just where i was at the other day so two unconnected things and conversation) i guess some of it would be the changes rippling through the countries like different things that used to be loved like tobacco the cigs that completely gone the habit broken and not seeing that around as much different little things about the days

so seeing carry out orders here yes the food is good so first off reset the mind to get ready to accept that this is not a fast food combo instead it's asian and that plating like each entree if you get a spread or if  you get just each item for your party

so i got the drunken noodles the other day and they were phenomenal great cooking um

so we've been here many times no issues ever (and there were other places where every so often there may be little things off) um not sure how talkative i'd be here but a nice meal with my parents um

so about me um meds yeah drugs no no alcohol anymore either um single has a dog um parents caregiving um tolerant and understanding (i think a quote from me was 'there's probably a pretty good explanation to everything') goes to monthly va apts um thoughts on the future homeowner um arrived at some stuff not being worth it my 'unemployment' caffeine um business

foster's grill

ate here the other day while on the commute home so it's off the highway (other stuff nearby the shopping center with valentino's going the other way the chikfila and mickey d's) um quickly placed my order (a line was building up but i had a little trouble deciding what to get i thought about the wings but wasn't sure if it'd be enough and then was not certain the chicken sandwich would be good enough which it turned out to be great) and soon it was ready so inside there was some other patrons (seeing some 'old white guy' buds talking audibly i think i heard a snippet like 'you don't have to be a brain surgeon' that being like when i'd see that at the neighborhood bv roy's some pals hanging out longer then just downing the combo order) then my ears drolling and out of sync around the lunch rush my food everything was done well i got a buffalo chicken sandwich (the chicken patty was big and filling with mayo lettuce tomato and jalapenos)(which weren't too hot and giving me hiccups no they were pickled or jarred and tasty and mild enough) the sauce was sour enough and strong enough and bland enough and the bun (which for a little while i've been unsatisfied with at home the buns from the grocery store being too thick and heavy no these were light enough and the meshing with the toppings) was good the ingredients meshed well in that way that i enjoy like getting loaded up with stuff at five guys (mushrooms are good hot sauce other stuff all the way) (two other burger joints i thought were noteworthy were elevation burger in national harbor but more so shake shack where i think i'd see gamblers on break at the mgm both maryland oh yeah so i was in the middle of the two stops) though this was different um the fries were a good size portion and tasty sort (good oil good potato good salt) of like the ones at spelunkers (the slicing way or the way it was prepped) in front royal um the place was charming enough a cashier who got our order and was entertaining to think of my recent repeated conclusion of 'what's there to do besides get high what alternative is there' so seeing his long hair or his youthfulness (the inside was fun there were lights up)(the drink machine was precise very good carbonation like i said everything here was like 'floor model' good) um what did look appetizing was the view of the back kitchen where it looked like a cook who did everything by the book and fresh just great effort and service his healthy hard work getting the food in the basket quickly and rightly i had some onion rings that were good too so the food was very good ingredients and quality um so wanting a good meal and getting it (maybe later a little speculation that one of the draws to eating out somewhere was the assumption some workers had nicotine on their fingers from cigs and that transferring) so where's the fun and cerebral mental stimulation at um the parking lot walking up um inside for each step of the meal yeah that's about all um a little like a in between between a restaurant and fast food i think they call that fast casual

anita's new mexico style mexican food

ok so i'll be riding with my parents (some of my non humiliated logic on this being first it was the beach boys though later studying that finding holes the i think it was the dad going to an old folks home not wanting that for me or others in the story then there were others too like the stooges for fun house with iggy p then another was this picture of the orwells but what i was saying was yeah maybe the opposite it's great to be with family and be supportive while too symbiotic) so we'll drive here things that make it worth it um the asian grocery store is really good i'll like the ramens here especially spicy another would be the teas here so anyways getting here it'd be apart of the commutes i'll be riding along on for over night business trips

so anita's um every time i'll get the exact same thing (maybe some of that was thinking miserly like what's easy on the restaurant but also because it's that good of an order) so i'll get the pupusa platter that's two pork and cheese pupusas and rice and beans and the cabbage with the good red sauce to pour over it so that combo is delicious the cheese and pork meshing well those oils the beans with cheese being filling the rice seasonings um and the vinegar hit of the salsa stuff

i've been to another one of the chains for anita's i think it was by some dealerships

um so i guess thinking into it a little some of that was like previous conclusions being in alexandria is by dc where there's major groups (that being a reason to live there instead of other places that don't have that stuff offered) but that mentality being like what's the point of stuff or what to purchase like sort of getting stuck in the familiar bubble of bucknell before like there's kfc bob and edith's um is it worth it to drive further for other stuff maggiano's springfield mall um being at my house most of the day and getting engulfed with the budget and future

but yeah so stream of conscious unpunctuated um being friendless and alone so how's that work like being in my 30s the different interests and hobbies being reclusive um so some of that was like basing my life on a neighbor i saw or other lessons don't talk to strangers (complaints) um pay my bills um

so inside it's nice for some talking um the window view of the parking lot the good hard working servers that's something i think before since my parents would cover the meal and i wouldn't tip cash additionally (and we'd work out the money from my account) at other places i'd think i wasn't really getting 'the dining experience' in some ways some of that was like when i was a host in rva at a restaurant in some ways my life was hell 'i was poor hungry and stupid' that being like how strenuous or stressful some of that was affording my apartment after that what's left for food um being at like military attention with the bosses for everything while here maybe seeing some of that unfairness (and lots of that reoccurring rules unfairly changed student loans marijuanna deustchland um open mics the entertainment industry a recent warning i may try to digest was i think i heard people could try forever and sort of get no where and a reason being they're not gay or jewish so is the hobby as told pointless all that effort and sacrifice in vain little stories to these where if someone listened to me they'd see the issues too)

yeah i guess a little of that story was 'i am not bob dylan' and further more some of it was bob dylan got sodomized not to focus on a entertainer i heard was the maybe greatest of all time at that stuff or to be typecast for one thing having other hobbies too fingerboards um but some of that too being the all in one stuff rockumentaries with me now as somewhat of a online celeb

so some more musings um i had gotten tea here before a little crazy story was i thought the staff could indirectly help with stuff from there like better groceries after a dining trip so some of that was like being tended like when you pay a bartender (and stories with that too being an alcoholic when i'd watch dvds and have a icehouse forty from the top of the hill) but yeah some of what i was getting at was like after showing up and being seated later on little observations of things like trickling off that whether that was costco or better groceries like good foods (frozen burritos) that were dealt out from a expert

so coming out here um it's probably good to drive the car i keep mine in good condition and maintained oil changes um driving it

so some of my logic would be like what i said i saw 'bohemian old men' who i may have in some ways been confused about that big one on that was being a home owner that as a goal um so with that what i was getting at was maybe the rumors were right like as a non married straight adult what reality is and then too understanding others constraints others aren't retired disabled unemployed or having the freedom and time um

yeah great time here um the visual of being thankful i'm not in a bad place

five guys

this place is the perfect burger joint maybe some of my opinion also being influenced by a college colleague (his charm the blonde hair the noted influences dinosaur jr or living his own way the days of the wii and youtube) so daydreaming about this place um it's by my old neighborhood bucknell though i never walked to five guys back then i was 'purely' funding alcohol and dc music with maybe some concern over past people i knew (see when i said i was exposed to the holocaust and the final solution being stationed in deustchland)

so last night me and my parents went here little rain going on in the night i got a bacon cheese dog all the way and a little fry and a water cup and it was fantastic (the toppings were great ingredients that made a tasty bite by bite meal the potatoes for the fries were fried great)(and the peanuts starter) so a little boost on my enjoyment was i'd think the like 'campus' vibe (whether that's hs or undergrad just the whole fun time going on classmates the cafeteria parties nonstop things to do though my lesson on that was it did get focused on 'smizzling' and even the business with that where afterwards maybe everything worked out pretty well) to it but like i've said some of that is squashed out and not encouraged it's sort of walkable (by the dealership i got my ford at and a short hike further to huntington on the yellow line for choices like when i'd ride to u st in dc some night club events black cat 930 club the lincoln) though but much between and not very much friendliness or opportunity in someways

you become an adult then what where's the continued fun at then other comparisons 'drug house' 'group home' and senses of humor requested on delivery of content

a little foolish of a tale you sort of can't just be like a single male (but how long can you stay that way) and keep going i think some of that is like needing a 'caretaker' maybe or voters the state power or getting a service animal um there's people though i guessed pauly shore other names that pop up skulking lounging etc dorm studio cafe suburbs

so the whole city vibe um va appointments stretched out (the sterility) and what to fill the days with now being a disabled retiree with overnight trips here um settle in and a dose of people watching america having different demographics around here maybe blacks public school white families being near wphs where i went

another good one was this 'entrepreneurial' place seems to indirectly help me and my parents with their business (and heeding warnings on short cuts too maybe critics no filter objective responses but too respecting this as someones 'life's work') when i'd check in about that um so it's a fresh take on american um different then others like mcdonald's or burger king the price is firm but solid worth it

so some of my daydream would be coming here coming out in public (days at home the last decade was some online dc events) then like the back to my house chilling like the having my smartphone on or being at the bh suite by bv that shopping center (parents basement) and being there but as stated sort of dead ended and alone as opposed to what i would imagine social media chats caffeine um activities like times in high school or at carl sandburg ms when it'd be going outside and things happening skateboarding the box down the street walking to my friends house watching video games being girl crazy

so maybe now rethinking stuff i've somewhat stopped the vinyl buying and with that there's new windows open like the choice present for food but then too the counter to that the mind mapping the intellectual stimulation the media addiction

so really liquidating this out to the very last drop here's what the past question was 'what does the restaurant do' like drugs get you high so supporting the work force (any social chances from that my cousin) um maybe being on the good side of the sheriff and the protection from that um as stated some of the miserly part the food is truly expensive not ending up troubled over money

but it's really good um the ambiance the short drop of the trafficked common ground so it's by el paso too um what to say i think a later presentation i didn't do was the cell phone plans as opposed to my parents and the family plan like that'd be a way to get friends again

so my showmanship places to eat the nearby by foot radius roy's subway dishes of india all that down the hill um bob and edith's 711 the new wendy's on the way panera there's some other close choices

so how am i doing well fed good appetite sort of healthy occasional exercise weights cardio um still have some hobbies no warrant or other troubles um not in debt though the mortgage and car um alive in some ways prolific portfolio um have my va benefits um family seems well enough um socially maybe professional active with the catholic church the consecutive sunday masses um as a check in doing pretty good um

um first time and it was a good trip so me and my parents drove through the back roads of i think elkton to get here it was near the massanutten ski resort and that radiated a aura of excitement from the lodge (spending the night with people going skiing the road trip)(also it's in a little center that had other places too like a bagel shop that wasn't open and another place i may have compared to dc it was looked like a virginia place to drink at) sort of um so i got the bulgogi nachos and they were pretty good sweet and a filling portion um the price was fair i think some of it too was padding from the nice ambiance (but don't get me started about thinking about other businesses how they make it like thinking mathematically about stuff the bills and that's coming from me as a 'learned'-miser) we were here in the start of december and there was a heat bubble for us to sit in (i told my parents about how it reminded me of h st with rnr hotel) um my food was tasty corn chips bbq meat shredded cheese sour cream i think that was most all of the ingredients some greens on top afterwards we were at the tip of entering into harrisonburg where we spent some more of our day i got a georgia sweet tea to go with my meal um there was a coi fish pond and it was a little remote driving up and parking for the order but it seemed like a nice hangout to be entertained at like the social atmosphere though i've been mostly alone and by myself for quite some time now mostly but yeah a good time clean warm healthy food affordable um and then the drive back to luray

pho ngon

ok so what to say coming here with my mom on off nights where my dad will be involved with games (a nice encouraging meal nothing troublesome or anticipation of oncoming trouble we're all aging another green light toward tomorrows) um so a great time every time no misses (my grading rubric being good food taste and i guess price still being somewhat miserly though a little secret maneuver i never learned that i could guess about is tipping usually my mom will get the whole meal then she'll get money from my account to reimburse her and stay square) thus far so here's where i'd be thinking more of some of the invisible stuff my cousin whose dad is a army vet who went to vietnam (that what i thought for a little while was it was like germany when you get stationed there and having at other places seen like vivid imagery of the asian continent countries other ones too like korea or other places of the world when my neighbor impressed me with his african involvement thankful for peace) um costco bulk vietnamese pho bowls (snap dragon) um really pulling for something that's more then a lesson i once was told was food just turns to poop (so seeing how sharing with my parents in public the feedback for improvements from each checkpoint sobriety) and nothing else really happens not to be negative as opposed to other 'addictions' substance abusers um gamblers (though i can quickly understand being a foodie like my taco bell lust) the one i never really progressed off topic lots of that or saw feasible was 'sex addiction' not to be unfiltered but enlighten others with lessons i was presented with like the topic of american vices

so this would be a terrific (to use a childish sticker award name for positivity) place to eat i crave the pho broth with siracha sauce it is up there with some other similar foods pickles kimchi pickled eggs pickled sausages italian dressing banana peppers jalapeno jars um so rising up to the table and seeing more of it um maybe today thinking the hair cut is smart and a good idea staying regular with that um the showmanship and things like that the behind the scenes stuff being drug free or what to invest and cherish the nice stress free life or the warm family time so the cafe yeah the online and ideas and (accountability and what works what to put on the bill)

i'll see the things and it'll seem censored and filtered (zero being offended here and extremely tolerant i mentioned the name mccain not hurtfully maybe deustchland direct but back then explanations) but there'd be little things that i could imagine being bigger and greater like lacoste (the models on online shopping) the worlds of the different families (someones son or daughter the different familiars buds) so the parents and the kids and the different turfs um

so we'll be here and it will be a nice conversation and dining experience (making progress in reality as a pseudo rpg experience um goals i had projects i was partaking in) and it is busy and good um the experience of another culture and acclimating to it at first there were some asian meals i was mixed over but after reinforcing it and learning it more it was good and then later missed and remembered the return

also i'd be aware of the firmness and sweetness so staying in bounds the fried egg rolls are good with the sweet sauce to dip in (a lesson on directions some hearsay common knowledge old wives tales etc)

so being here it's actually somewhat of a healthy meal like i don't get bloated from it (but still it's usa and in a goodway) so other parts that are enjoyed 'francophiles' the french influence (my movies writings um paintings music) um so the drive here is pleasant we're in alexandria and just coast to kingstowne a big line being crossing richmond hwy um there's other stuff to do over here while we're in the huge parking lots (and a huge change from fairfax county a few decades ago landmark mall being a marker) of the shopping center big stores um i might too think of stuff like getting better at things or another was the rolling stones influence (so much to unravel from that proper paletted keith bohemia um art school habits presentations) i think a clip i remember was the war and gimme shelter playing to shots of the soldiers (i read some books about public affairs spcs over there and thought it was like a vacation) so like thinking cool stuff about um how to do what i wanted like creativity or publication

the meat in the pho bowl

um so over here it's further from the springfield mall and thus being aware of the 'car-charm' like getting around not what's just by foot or other stuff metered drivers ubers um so like the personality to using the vehicle and going places but having some substantial effect like going to fort belvoir to look for benefits shopping or the commute from luray um getting the kfc bucket left overs plan from the menu options and phone app loyalty rewards or business owners and their hospitality and kind discipline and good times

valentinos pizzaria

so seeing how much i can say about this (just being a writer and winging it)

so we were driving back and stopped here (sometimes we'll stop at the chikfila near here there i'll get actually basically every single time get the same exact order the spicy chicken sandwich combo which is with waffle fries and a drink probably go with unsweet tea and i'll get a dip like ranch or chikfila sauce and sometimes add a chicken noodle soup)(yeah actually that's stuff i might not have noticed that if that gets turned up 'obnoxious' in a good way is savored the small business sort of um) my parents and i got pizza (it was a warm atmosphere to think of well for them maybe a little bit of a date with that romance the love from my parents and me happy about that and then for me some of the 'city' common grounds another good memory i don't know where it is in the map in regards to here i think actually it's the opposite way instead of going toward fair oaks going more toward woodbridge was fredericksburg metal or the youth of metal social media fond times on myspace sort of um mid grade weed fast food wendy's by the public school and those 2000s nuances drive thru records things of fun back then) i got one slice of the buffalo chicken (it was pretty big though i think we had a big lunch so that offset how big of an appetite we all had i ended up topping off with half a cheese slice my dad i think got for the purpose of if anyone was still hungry got that that we split) and it was perfect heated good and good ingredients (also some of the craving food for the tabasco esque vinegar formatted to pizza with good cheese sauce and thin crust to and chicken) there were some other good choices (and looking back it did have some of that nyc splendor like remembering really wanting bagels before despite ignorance but appreciating other cultures) and different stuff like maybe stromboli (i think another may have been a 'pizza roll' or something it looked more filling) a meat lovers um maybe a hawaiian (and recently i think my lesson with cooking is remembering being poor and hungry and using that to appreciate my groceries more i actually daydreamed of having a 'assistant' who was probably 'poor' and them making me appreciate stuff more like for them what they can reach as opposed to my somewhat wealth and status um once upon a time in hollywood) um did think of like the nyc style (the visual with that the sky scrapers skylines the congestion the different hamlets outside the city the new yorkers fashion the neighborhoods and the like gta 5 rpg fun) a little um maybe for the big name stuff a little like a sparro with the pizzas waiting to be ordered and cooked and just like those places at the mall this place had everything 'down to a science' each menu item was presented well and other factors like portion size or craving foods yeah if by myself i could see myself loving this place (see how like i need a 'fiduciary')(not ending up entirely like elvis the good food rock and roll blues um) that being like letting loose on the menu lots of good stuff to get and then have a banquet with like thanksgiving beggars banquet rolling stones um tail gate specials different offers that feel warm and good (and don't make you feel bad or embarrassed or humiliated) a good feast here

so dropping in um there's some windows to look out the shopping center here is fun i guess but yeah this place was 'pretty warm' (feeling happy like when my pet dog is in a good mood about something having been exposed to birds but currently that not lining up right conures parrots) i think when we came it was somewhere between september and october so before halloween on the calendar that seasonal vibe

nathan's famous

so here's my story about from today um looks like it was over a decade ago so here's um my tale my friend from vcu and another student we all got in his suv and drove to new york where the one who hosted us was from um we crossed the verrazano bridge we saw signs for brooklyn where we were notified of notorious big's presence um we were told about new york and how it could be different then virginia (maybe open smoking that being a reoccurring part of this story) so um this was a completely different thing for me i was smoking cannabis like the whole freshman and somewhere along the way it stopped my parents put their foot down so just one after another of blunts pipes other stuff and then one day our new york weekend trip but so here's where nathan's comes in somewhere along the way we catch up with some ny personalities he knew from before (very presentable and) and the idea is we'll smoke a blunt in the nathan's parking lot (i think they'd done that before no problem) so we do that and telling the truth so i have had many highs even like traumatic brain injury highs (see later 'mental illness') or all types of highs the training day ethan h high um the buzzes so anyways we meet some of his friends and a blunt is rolled and we generously smoke there um i was somewhere different (and back then the roughing it i had a pink striped polo some ae college jeans um not much else timberland boat shoes um a handmedown skateboard my ipod when those were still around) my parents approved of the trip i did manage to call them though a few times i was dodging them not making it to class having a verizon flip phone as some background stuff um but that's more of the back to rva

so nathan's um a little appropriate no filter stuff so i think it was subtly pc paletted that this was a little bit of a 'jewish' neighborhood so yeah getting that out of the way and things being different like the styles and maybe an influence from new york city as opposed to these further from jersey and the neighborhoods over here um around the way i was actually rather scared at parts but i saw people getting there hands into the marijuana like the legal word being distribution so that's mostly what this whole story was um and some parts like the remembering 'northern lights' as a strain um

so the actual company yeah nathan's was awesome i remember a few times getting a real like tooth for some maybe sort of jewish stuff like bagels or soups the matzah balls um everyone was extremely kind and welcoming and sensitive (i wasn't a big fan of asian jokes and sort of aged seeing myself like a normal white american not to use a eminem song title) so we even actually made it to a house party where funnily i think some people were underage and yeah it's different here like maybe different inside jokes mannerisms um celebs so one i might think of is tmnt in the city with that like persona

so it was a absolute dream here um what may have been slightly funny or scary and embarrassing and other adjectives was i don't think i had very much actually my parents probably wired me money but one thing was we got new york pizza that our guide was craving and missing um i was going to go on a previous tangent pre veteran status that was like seeing things and being sad or like seeing a button down t shirt and thinking of what i was trying to like get to in society as opposed to high school humiliations or something anyways the neighborhood was a blast um what i didn't realize at the time was we toned it down a little bit more like it wouldn't be people like working through a ounce and all that sort 'traffick' um we were around his parents um i think something later mixed both ways was people predicting my military enlistment and things that  could be done about that for self defense or other reasons so that nuance

um there was a court we played wall ball at um there were stereotypes i heard of like to put it into perspective in nova where there's annanadale and the community college i have heard that that can be a little bit of a korean neighborhood so noting things about koreans the barbeque um hyundai but so yeah some of that may have been cool things i thought like getting exposed a little bit to a different culture the jewish stuff like how later i got sent to deustchland where the history says there was the holocaust and hearing different things about all that or a cool story was americans over there or the art dealing um curious george other references

um so another little detail with looking over here was the f scott the great gatsby cover the whole look of the ferris wheel and seeing different snippets around here um we stopped at a i think gas station convenience store where there was comraderie with a entrepreneur the shop owner and them talking about blunts too also this was before the entire legalization stuff i think this may have been right at the tip of before obama got elected um there was the upset about the 911 thing um

oceanside was kind

northern virginia community college annandale

an objective review of investing in my mind so where to begin um i had to commute here (driving my old recent model used hyundai) and it was a little bit of a lesson in 'reality' what i mean is as a community college it was not as open ended as being on a dorm (previously just days going on one thing to the next and nightly drinking parties then that stretched out with prelegalization smoking cigs and other stuff) but the other side to that is it's supposed to be more professional and purpose oriented you'll become the adult who has high pay and other advantages

so i failed and dropped out again but nonetheless i do have reps i can spout off for rationalizing my failure like jd salinger or bill gates (maybe even keith r or john l as i think they both were didn't complete higher education schooling) so here's what i take away now in the present i may have slightly more civilized offerings (the food or life seeming less barbaric to not necessarily bring up the advantages of enlisted or officer with the us military) so what a little bit of a hole in that would be i basically self teach or find out my own lessons about stuff but that can be unforgiving or time consuming but also rewarding and honest and other endearing traits but what i was getting at on this would be there are sometimes literature i get exposed to that could be helpful but other times just basically dead weight like a field manual that in some ways you'd be better off just doing it yourself learning quicker than endless boring text

so here's where i was in i believe the year was 2009 freshly medically retired i thought i'd basically resume where i dropped off and left off at and go get a bachelor's degree from a good college with my gi bill so i did not complete this but i got some leverage here and there like later doing voc rehab through the va through umuc (i think some of this was grossness and what's really entitled and allowed from experts on this)(i actually still have maybe 3yrs 9 months %90 left unused of my gi bill that i was confused about though another half would be prestudentloanforgiveness i paid my loan and then the math on getting extra training i even got my army mos or education online accredited schooling too) where i made the dean's list so i guess some other things (people can make complaints lots of people i don't know don't like me strangers regularly call the police on me i think) um is it necessarily needed like at one point i was seriously thinking of being a professional guitarist

so more of it um i heard you can be completely right and qualified and do everything but still not graduate so that was a lesson i'd be someone who always listens to hearsay and common knowledge or other stuff warnings um so other stuff too like 'it's just a piece a paper' in regards to the degree or you'll end up with debt i remember some students in my undergrad who were about to drop out after putting in time and effort where they got to the pointless part some frat boys i knew in passing

um another lesson i wasn't completely aware of was that of 'political trends' um i didn't stay up with the president's mission basically ever too much

um so what actually happened was the class room might seem more like a formal pass through to easier and better work like i made sure i graduated high school because i'd hear people saying how much that helps in life like i'll see that just me having somethings here and there like a business license or other certificates can greatly save me from doing manual labor or things i might be to medicated and lazy to do or also the disability factor

um so at the school um it might be like missing that and being a little bit of 'the old dude' followed by different stigmas the stars did not align for me here but maybe continually i'll get little things back that are offered or presented in such a way that recently what i told my parents at lunch the other day was 'pay the troll toll' that being a joke like how being 'uneducated' i was embarrassed and sensitive um moving forward i've seen other stuff out there that didn't seem quite right for me but i could see how it'd be great for others like the masterclass website or how i heard the unaccredited universities can too produce court judges so that being like understanding other profiles of people getting their education and it working so that being if not nova the formalities could be difficult and tedious other things out there lessons um i'd hear of bob dylan getting trained from painters another who i don't know if he's formally known as a graduate um

um what i remember the big pitch many people mentioned was a 2yr path to the big schools like uva jmu vtech (for virginia state accredited places) vcu um georgetown catholic university of america that if you meet the requirements then then you can go to the nice school and keep that trajectory to graduate i actually knew someone from my undergrad who did just that and completed his degree so that'd be valid

hotel jedermann

ok so my germany experience was so phenomenal that at one point i considered relocating to somewhere overseas before later hearing the reasons why it wouldn't really work out or quitting as along the way i was told i wouldn't do like the huge full time career of those hobbies lots of childlike listening for directions to my goals

so i got to see some of munich and i guess here's a little bit of a story i was awol in a hotel and i recorded some homemade music (later i'd see and hear more back stories on that like in dc the live music bars coincidentally being next to beer gardens or hearsay like the gypsies in a shopping center with signs asking for money)(i wasn't the first and i did actually think weirdly enough some of these cds artists i had actually passed some of these same places like while producing my own albums thinking of taking back sunday or coheed and cambria other names too)

so over there um it was cool i guess i'd think a pc story was when around that time the lady gaga music videos were out like seeing the theatrical marching so that being like cool things about world war the greatest generation and some people around from that era lots of neat parts like i think i got one of the best rooms in the building and i think there actually was a secret room below me yeah everywhere in germany was extremely nice to me like getting enough to eat but also while actually being a little high strung from the military

so overseas um it looks different things are different too um i'd think of the little mix up with like some details about that like thinking some 'jewish' things can be cool (stories of art dealing or education other stereotypes soups) or liking the german culture (lederhosen) i was slightly exposed to like the foods the bread the pretzels um later i'd reminisce and have american food from walmart as a memory derived from that sausages

um keeping that relationship in someways um i'd see some stuff brought to me here and other mementos like i did get a mini cooper now i get further and further away and don't seem to be returning but what i did see that was cool was there were groups of soldiers who went back and kept that tie there's a group on facebook about it and other times i think i saw european expat americans deducing that like a leather jacket like a pink panther 70s cat at an italian restaurant one time

um i finally got around to responding on this um now i'm forgetful from antipsychotics um so yeah i got sent back to america and time just passed um where i left off at one point was i created my music idea 'the teletones' and the album i made was called 'ghost lovin' um the idea was maybe a little bit like teletubbies and the rolling stones and other stuff (telephones) during that time of insomnia um other stuff going around then the war

um yeah that's the past my time in germany was fun i got to see other parts like wurzburg um things could seem unfair or gross for whomever the locals or the enlisted too um

i guess over there so i remember it being next to the train station um there was a further away american book store i went to um so yeah i wasn't actually in deustchland for that long maybe several months before being sent back to american um

um so the room was nice i had a window and there was like a secret entrance to the one i got up some stairs in the alley um the breakfast saved my life because the story was i saved up a lot of hard cash (which possibly foolishly there was an investment site i used called smart piggy around then that had higher interest rates than others) and lived off that (money got tight paying cash for my hotel stay basically i'd get gyros and groceries and be scared about what was going to happen a later story i said was that i could've went in a way like u2 seeing that as favors and hardwork as a musician) while avoiding i thought basically i was going to become an amputee um the breakfast would have some foods like meats cheeses breads cereal so i'd get generous offerings where i had a small amount to eat and i'd spend my days where at that point i was focused on the beatles

so i guess back then um i was 19 i played my first live performances over here (actually there were regulated ones before then like through the public school west potomac in alexandria) um i went to two different bars and played songs i wrote um at that age i was single and freshly dropped out of college um after that i was a little 'beat up' in georgia in a unit for people getting removed from the military then i guess catching up i gradually got into drinking at dc nightclubs and also focusing on my family i became a home owner um i slightly continued my 'artschool' habits

so in germany i separated myself and i guess i had an ok time um now today some of my thoughts are getting to like stick to my family and some of that being like not wanting bad stuff to happen in addition to like listening to negations of my hobbies or a spirit breaker being mil benefits are the end

kfc

recently kfc has really gotten on my mind so i'd be at home still not using cable sort of (i have it in my home where i'll check it some times) and i youtube'd on a big flatscreen (trying to think of what to do after the days ending um read some henry miller or what to center on what's okay to click) at my parents house the basement (during some overnight business trips) the company i was really entertained with the colonel's story like him working on farms (thinking he really knows the food the ingredients and the hardwork too a good guy) the midwest the south so him starting at a gas station and getting his business started his original recipe the pictures of him along the way the historical pictures of yesteryear so then pairing some background info on kfc with the great cooking i love the original recipe seasonings the salt and pepper the moist chicken the breading the skin the meal i'd like would be a 3pc box with drum thigh wing biscuit fountain drink mashed potatoes with gravy and macaroni and cheese a little bit of a hiccup on it was i think some sources said he was divorced i was confused about that but thought it was still safe getting that framed right

so the experience is pretty good (nice professional workers the stripped down ambiance a fried chicken joint everything just going by the penny one after another pay eat leave be somewhat of a regular) um nice fast food (lots of options on the menu for an add on to fill up consider the bucket meals for leftovers the charm of having something for later on in the day) um the prices are firm and reasonable (i may have excluded myself from some dine in restaurants since i'm 1 person instead thinking of these maybe somewhat noticed blue collar frequented franchises seemed somewhat more accessible also the budget) um other times like in woodstock i saw on the walls inspirational stuff like i think there's a scholarship the company does and some of the stuff seeming like it's true they do keep their word on their deals and things that help me out too like some warm mascot with the colonel being sweet and helpful a good cook too

a cool thing i actually missed it was buckethead at the fillmore silverspring he had his branding with the kfc bucket on his head a modern guitarist um yeah i'd think of the like cheapness in a way and like being creative like getting a meal whether it's dine in or to go and lounging more of the internet cafe vibe being online blogging um anything to do the hobbies art school habits

so out of all the fried chicken places they're all good in different ways roy rogers popeye's um i don't go there as often but there's el pollo campero in the same group of stuff um the nice bone in chicken too not just tenders or nuggets i actually too would visualize while on the smartphone like what each would do (a fantasy montage unravels sort of setting course) the hollywood westerns cowboys boots of roy's popeye's having the mil connect on it the cartoon staying in touch with mil pals um kfc having the southern estate the entrepreneur success the look of having the day off and the sunlight above for the season um el pollo campero sort of thinking of like rock and roll not squatting but camping maybe um

um dreaming along um yeah the price and quality is pretty good like i can eat this and if i walk around occasionally the fats will somewhat just melt off me like butter and i'll still be modestly healthy um just thinking of the sweet spot of what i can afford and what's enjoyed the nice treat um the opening for a creative paletting like some form of picnic or when there used to be road bikes and friendships when i'd see lee's chicken in rva headed towards the museum district the outskirts that grey rainy cold walk with the waves of students around town

so a little bit of the reoccurring picture in my head is from the stones it'd be beggars banquet (despite seeing it not quite feasible or fault finding it) it was like hanging out with friends like another was thanksgiving when i was at vcu thinking of like 20yr olds the fall the dead leaves winter on the way days getting chillier sharing in the holiday um so that i'd remember some ads i saw in previous years that looked really cool it was like a big party order from boston market or popeye's (a poster on the window of the restaurant) that was for i don't think it was catering but it was like entertaining a group

sweet tea the soda um times here with my parents the shade and aristocracy office attire air conditioning this being a good habit drug free not illegal (with the current fine print on the marijuana legalization) um a healthy enjoyed meal

so maybe using the colonel harland sanders as my 'little guy' a successful businessman like thinking of him as a template or rep like i might take some short cuts like i'm not playing sold out stadiums instead i'll go to some concerts for groups i like the other day i saw a entertaining show with the smashing pumpkins maybe gothic and of the season

red door restaurant

so learning from teaching myself (hearing b dylan on the radio here when i was getting let off from work) some lessons so i worked here i believe right when obama began (there was a very charming black bus boy who was nice also there were other workers there who were nice too) i was the host (to start the shift i'd put the specials in the menu and) so i remember i was having a pretty fantastic time in life (though the push that i didn't take was i think someone named 'joy' invited me to hitchhike to new york or somewhere else a journey they'd done before and also mention of heroine and borderline homelessness)(i listened to my parents and others veterans and shipped off to ft meade for the military and it was not shock inducing it was comfortable for most of the ride) maybe somewhat foolishly (not knowing what i found out about writing a lot of 'banned' books or banned authors too my later continued hero jd salinger who i was still waiting to hear about the release of new books from him) so i would walk from w franklin to e grace (i had my suede boots my banana republic thrifted grey pants some polo rugby's from my parents for christmas) and even think of literature like a sliver of james joyce dubliners (the street names and the wormwood) i skimmed and was going to set course for being a lot of titles somewhat influenced by the vcu art school a writer director actor painter poet skateboarder guitarist singer

um so joe and sheila were always pretty nice to me (even giving me a firm cig) um i'd show up in the mornings for work and during my shift i'd be a little distracted with projects i'd dream up that currently were out of reach

another little ketchup or catch up anyways was that i think people were giving me both sides about what i could potentially do (i was under the spell of the 1960s bob dylan pseudo propaganda releases and that was my light at the end of the tunnel) but then i think there was warnings of non postponed sodomy (something i think might be circling around for me again trying to dodge it but the aging the healthcare the powers over me)(my cousin told me i'd have to suck a doctors dick i take it he's not wrong because one time he told me i'd get sodomized at the hospital which basically he predicted)

i ate the food a few times and it was perfect every time even over the top (my nicotine and thin gross personality before mil indoctrination long hair no mental health diagnosis) um i remember their steak and cheeses with mayonnaise and hot sauce being enough to fill me up (and my budget i think everyone was exposed to what i heard was a characteristic of rva being poverty so i was poor and the owners were nice to me a few times) i remember seeing the cook prepping and everything always looked so tasty like one time i saw a small industrial grade mini fridge open and inside there was a big jar of sliced french fry potatoes in some water that just looked delicious reminded me of like baltimore and the city

so around here um the name of the place maybe it was a nod to the rolling stones paint it black 'i see a red door and i wanted it painted black' i think i may have temporarily had a bad attitude about my treatment while in debt (maybe that was due to my own good choices like if i saw others seeming to cheat the system now in hindsight i might know how getting a credit card to survive the continued waves of low income so in hindsight with my forgetful medicine i think everything was a great time)

um i was transplanted there and it was different my parents were in alexandria seemingly doing just fine and then i remember this too there was like little offers here and there that i thought'd come back to help me and them (it could've made me tear up to think of my parents going to a old folks home) like one time i bought a used pair of jordan sneakers at a thrift store in fairfax unique that were in my old bedroom closet for a while i found them when i was selling my old house

so yeah maybe a little age play like sheila her always being so sweet and tough with me (later thinking of in the right light the conor o album salutations the pictures and lines with some of those the hammack album) um we were team mates and working through um the news paper people would come i think she mentioned writers might need editors um that sample of rva gwar was out of my league but now seeing that as like a cartoon or new source for my undergrad

joe kept me kicking um writing a poem on a order ticket and handing it to him because i truly now understand how money can be tight um i think i met there son one time too and i think he got a chef salad that looked tasty yeah and other vcu parts going on the greek life um i tried taking like a secret entrance into there for reasons like i couldn't keep secrets or another was i thought i'd have to pay everything off or not wanting to get help with getting all the way in pi lamda phi was i think the one that got me the most there was another that i knew a friend

gamestop

so a little bit of a plan i had that semi worked the first time and never again i thought i'd wait out the system and buy and own it (my thoughts were like a gameboy being something that'd sort of never loses it's fun while it was still working that being a later worry) and have marvelous times forever with the xbox 360 basically i was late and in a closing window of fun (it seriously got to where it like didn't work anymore like thinking of some crazy paranoid thought like it was some decree from the gaming world or something some like e3 tech virus canceling fun) as the system became out dated (i actually got a second xbox 360 thinking the first one may die out) um later on i got a xbox one (it was actually from walmart where i thought that'd be charming that branda family company too and mil friendly) and i honestly didn't have that much fun (around this time i was saying i don't game because i thought it was like gambling where i thought i'd get sent back to georgia tradoc or other bad stuff like inescapable debt but i still had it as an interest or thinking of technicalities or loopholes to using like how i'll paint miniatures but not participate in the games)

so i have a nintendo 3ds from gamestop it's still the same sort of thing not that fun anymore the equipment aging then the firm price on the new stuff (though it was a cool handheld while it was fresh i took it to bars before i'd had it on vacations like va beach um i'd play it in bed the handheld cool look to it) so i might think of a friend i had who liked the consoles with that i'd think he's right it is still fun what i remember was he'd preorder and be in line for the new stuff right when it was out (and thus fresh) um i'd compare that to like when i'd get tickets to sold out shows before they sold out and how i'd have an ok time being a good customer can get better results then scheming up some brilliant idea that doesn't work always

i remember when i first started from here i was a veteran doing online school and everything was sterile (by myself maybe being for the best as a lesson having my parents and family too) and a good time i actually later said the upcharged membership was worth it (i had one for barnes and noble too that was pretty good thinking of like coffee and the cafe experience) i'd think of like how i got a old gamecube even with super smash melee and other titles thug that i played a few times so some of the picture was like a vulgar drug or frat house and like having guests and stuff like a little day dream i had was my cousin could stay in my garage (it's a like luxury house so it's nicer) there's a couch there now instead of the guest bdr but that was like how  my dealbreaker with that was no smoking in the house (he still smokes in todays what i've asked around about was the alleged 'legalization') but it was like some maybe artschool cool side to the stuff displays

so i guess a later reveal on american vices was that what i think the lesson was was that you have your choice basically between three vices that being sex addiction (showing a finger shows that goal) substance abuse (drinkers smokers drug users even how heroine users can get by legally recovery clinics) and then finally gaming which i think another term i heard for it was 'lights' i've seen pretty good pictures of the drug users and the gamblers but i might have been offended with the sex addicts based on unfairness or holes in the story or immorality maybe another safe one being healthcare like the people who use the pharmacy for meds that being safer then the vices i mentioned and when i said you had to pick one i think if you don't it might be heading to the military then where they still have vices too um

so there are some games that i had interest in that i think when i checked back had been put off um the place is pretty cool too with the membership i'd think of it sort of being like a college vibe (something that i've been into but maybe as a freshman drop out more than the graduate thinking of like good times i had as a drop out though later on i did get official certificates like a army mos) um american censorship so i'd think to of some of the flaws too many first person shooters difficulty progressing getting stuck and looking up what to do um the linear story

so  i still have some stuff and maybe now it's a little bit art deco like one thing i did was i got some titles that were unopened and temporarily put them displayed in the living room maybe thinking of it a little like a phone that calling the thing i was into like cyber punk or my shelf with my xbox 360 titles nostalgia

yeah it's fun and then too later thoughts 'time wasting' or productivity too it's not inappropriate really um so if i got back into it again i might have to reconsider adjusting my current hobbies like it'd be more homebody stuff (and when that starts to get charming and cool the staging) then venue live music and merch no more drinking

games are good times

shakespeare theatre company

ok so here's the one that did it for me so i was coming up on over 18 going into early 19 (something i somewhat documented myself my rough dylan recordings then) i believe it was after christmas and i was back from the army and then i went and got a hotel in chinatown right when the snowpacalypse of maybe 2009 hit so during that stay during the blizzard the picture of dc was beautiful i remembered it looking back like if i remembered my undergrad this frozen memory of that time like a snow globe of that week yes like a movie everything being candid photogenic everything so artistic and politically correct or in good taste chaperoned

with some of these 'vibrant' times i think my dad had a interesting point the other day he said you don't want to have 'arrested development' like thinking of my parents picture (that i held onto in my heart and even made choices from there) and that not ending sadly just good times like sitcoms or media references

so later i'd learn the who michael kahn was um the theatrical times there the performance um (the charm of any fellow guests) the warm hospitality when i first went there ignorantly i'd think of sort of being rescued like these great attractive mesmerizing heroes saving me (and as stated the show to watch with everyone jacked up with entertainment) so my trouble back then was getting my student loan paid off (before today's new policy) so other stuff came um in romanticized staged acted out stories um so like the big brother helper picture and then like old 'stomping grounds' richmond bike hipsters aware of dc or the later farther scope like them in harrisonburg these bohemians (and lgbtq like normalized)

they'd have repeated nuances the red handkerchief the free play and this one i remember the matching any payment that i'd think of like rare people i met who did good for the communities like my old professor wealthy and powerful people (club owners different personalities around the region later mentioning 'lower' list celebs) who'd be generous and thoughtful losing myself in a dream of the nights play and i'd  read the programs sometimes reading between the lines sort of

so i actually goofed i never ever got the full subscription for them i'd always get maybe in later times two - four shows (while back then supporting live music bars) from the year (and later things like liking the winter before knowing more like dickens) the shows i was at were great (a few times lately i'll say i'd sort of rather pay the professionals instead of hanging out with people seeing how i believe the latter could be semi trouble)

so my idea was right when this pandemic thing started i had heard 'sex addiction' was a thing and thought i mathematically computed being like keith r was no longer really an option (like not knowing many other guitar tunings) also i was maybe thinking like a hedonist um so explaining it i thought like there's alcoholics anonymous there'd be what was supposed to come out was 'romantics anonymous' then i moved and wasn't following stc as much

the funny thing is last night on my uber ride home from capital one arena smashing pumpkins the drive was melancholy and thought provoking but on the way home i was thinking of all this love i had for stc even like the british and these 'soft spots' for the casts

so some of the stuff i'd seen um (btw it was very impressive and seemed cooler than the 'drama department' not dorky or 'odd' but nonetheless that interest gone further the sets the clothes the source material etc) i'd seen shakespeare done here and the whole presentation to that modern times or a montage of references westerns 1920s flappers um i saw waiting for godot here camelot romeo and juliet part one of measure for measure othello the lover and the collection the comedy of errors the panties the partners and the profit

later i guess stretching it to fill this out was the pretty scene was going to the safeway in belle view before the superbowl and getting some fritos (the slight cold weather and then this far sighted future vision like after my parents eventually die me on my own with like the va and being like the old home owner guys i'd seen then) that thinking back to the camelot show with the like town center the other people there um there'd be lots of those like whether it's ageplay or the setting but later being glad i bought and went to something like that

i really must say that it had like a real effect i'd think of when people use drugs or gamble that being like how to the bone it was (it being like a radiant source for the city for bright hope) i think back then i'd 'mud' and that'd be computers and events so having a little taste for the creme de la creme the aristocratic expensive things in life

so this as a public checkpoint um the word about town the sequences and story lines there's the the gift shop the concessions there's the two locations both near each other one year i got my parents tickets to come here for a christmas gift

ben and jerry's

my great open confession lol (to use a aol phrase laugh out loud) so i worked here while i was at the peak age of graduating high school and getting that diploma then at the cut off of going to university in rva before for whichever reason i stopped working there (shot off into the army then maybe disability logistics) so to show my skills i think i was pretty good mostly if still immature (to be honest a trend i wasn't the only one to do was getting 'free' stuff from entry level minimum wage jobs which later that habit was broken but still it can make sort of sense like before the offer for mil benefits are presented like being somewhat friends with your boss) and coming of age (later realities like a mortgage or being single and 'crazy') so here's one that i remember i was back summers from vcu (the place was blowing up with tourists and people trafficking here all night and the look of summer the teenage movies and the radio blasting 'take a look at my girlfriend') and i slowly very distantly i don't know who brought it up but i got on my radar henry rollins so that story um he worked in haagen daz and then is a successful my dad said life coach (i missed an opportunity to privately talk with him for 10 minutes for maybe an extra $180 i had excuses) so following that um i had done my own publishing or hobbies similar to that rock and roll and other producing (i had stopped by the shop again before just saying hi though i think at one time i was scared about my freedom) and that as like a spokesman to recommend like my endorsement and reference who by the way i did see him twice live and it was great also was under a little stresses leading up to it (thinking like his political savy as a dc guy or his stripes along his career to today his stories are entertaining like his friends like i mackaye keith morris etc you see henry r you see aubrey n a different version but some traits in common though not the same)

the politics yeah this place was just flowing to answers and i'd remember like 'the first black president' or todays marijuana decriminalization (which i still somewhat compute as not allowed for some but it can work) um democracy

so here's what i've said a few times about how great there ice cream was and is so i remember i was eating the ice cream at a big portion and then i had this like hallucination it was like seeing the expensive cows (the utters being cleanly and sweetly milked and the high quality ingredients being added ropes of sugar chocolate pieces and then the like science of it turning solid to ice cream it thickening) outside in the winter (and that nice picture me bony before knowing long johns my hairs on my body the interaction with outside like riding my road bike to pick up milk from the safeway and getting a tip for that being like a mongril mongol the like punk rock boyhood) and this like icy delicious treat from there like the 'milk fat' was a corporate word

so um the place is sincere and does hold up to this brand stuff i remember i had a few work shirts from there that later disappeared somehow donations or returning to the manager um stuff like cherry garcia 'the flavor graveyard'

another later thing i didn't know and was ignorant of was 'desert' like is it something with the sugar that makes it go against like military for vets or something i think that's something i was beginning to learn another was like when i mentioned the restaurant work force vs groceries things to dwell upon and reach revelations over

the prices were firm and you can see the different people around here like chadwick's or the alcohol and food serving city of alexandria taxed virginia bars basically so make your choice on what to purchase

a little bit more um i think some of the stuff was like loose instructions that there'd be like different answers about like i think i was getting gigged on doing too big of scoops (but before that there'd be like a complaint or the instruction changed) um over here another later answer was a christmas carol that plays annually um

i'll every so often get the b&j brand ice cream at the store i remember one time having a amazing experience with it i think one flavor i liked may have been a stephen colbert (that novelty) one at that time i think there could have been some stuff going on like i could have gotten to a different 'character build' or a different set of surroundings as opposed to some things like veterans affairs appointments or sobriety and solitude

seeing some stuff during those end of the 2000s summers i'd see that everything behind the scenes was done perfect like the shipments of fresh ice cream heavy brown cardboard cartons and those selling out and getting replaced throughout the night or the cleanliness so nothing but kind words for a good time i had though some of that stuff now was a little embarrassing like when i partied underage like superbad with michael cera

the brand is warm like vinyl the prices are solid for quality products

dishes of india

today we stopped in and from the very beginning it was a amazing dream to fall into my hunger was getting me a little light headed so we get there a little early waiting for my brother and his spouse to join our company in the car we can see people on the b&w patio at the shopping center um we then go get seated then he catches up so down the stairs and the mirrors warmth and a refresh from another culture

the indian culture the spices (i've heard people rave about them) the karma the humor the british influence like milk and the setting the *moves

so reading the menu i got a spicy sauce with chicken potato and rice merg vindaloo it was delectable (it actually for a second reminded me of the 711 chili i've been craving in the spiciness a little sweat beads and american comfort) um inside the place is spotless (i actually oofishly spilt on the table mat a few times but that brought my awareness to this fine dining experience seeing the charming waiter pass by it was like the 19th century the old world other the yesteryears of another generation noting things like the nice heavy silverware the formal waiters the old names that are worry free about calling looking up knut hamsun - hunger that story in my current reading i'm following getting delusional and things to learn about) and i had a great memory so one time here a few years back we had a business christmas dinner here it was winter and the holidays were finally here with the family it was seasonal and the flavors were colorful and i'd think of the nice lounging while we dined and chatted the chicken was tasty

then too like unfiltered stuff like how pure of racially white someone can be like chris martin blonde that like density so some of that being the cities eyes how far i can pass for and hipster opportunities

so a little secret reveal from me was i'd think of the presentation where there can be different leaders you meet (like one was when i said the black cat was where some of the real 'punks' were like the core of that) so my story was i tried opium what i was thinking was there was a friend (who happened to be indian i saw him a few years back he's in real estate too) who helped groom me through (good peer pressure growing pains and boyhood) that like maybe filed under a once in a lifetime experience (my stories puttering out and familiar drop out enlist retire home owner) but what i was getting at from that was the behind the scenes like this maybe being the indian community like when i'd think of indian drivers and families (word of mouth or my dad's own friends who'd have their imparting wisdoms) when i was drinking so that being like the supporting a business and the rippling effects from that maybe a nice face or seeing someone the joy of being generous or 'charitable' i guess another story i'd let slip out was i think my professor asked me to find him some weed the context i didn't know if he was calling cops on me or being wild i think he was actually serious and being like crazy like tom waits or keith richards my tumultous past

so what i was saying about the meal i'd think back to my undergrad where there'd be my roommate there he was indian and a foreign exchange student (great xp+ from later going to germany the 'third world' but thinking of that as a compliment not derogatory different things like here sort of like amish closed communities farming and which technologies) so that one was like him treating me to hookah these nice sequences that make a lot of sense like how you like your coffee black half and half some sugar when offerings just click just right todays pho um when the foods just make perfect sense a hoagie nachos ramen hot dogs so in the shopping center it is cosy man i'd think of when i lived just up the hill and would even walk to bv (my failed crusade to friendship and artistry now landing more toward miserly ends) um my real as of late genius idea is the 'internet cafe' online accounts and public places and activities entertaining conversations with usually basically only my family and being alone but still future minded and well my tics

the price here was worth it it's basically double as good as the trimmed down fast food stuff so it being the whole atmosphere and ambiance getting entertained when we went though i was surprised it was just a few people in there um i'd think too maybe you pay and do this stuff instead of the ingratiating with others who'd be somewhat helpful but somewhat is unlogical reasons why that doesn't work in my 30s my real quote i remember now is 'do not make the same mistakes twice' is that growing out of more stuff no more tobacco more pharmacy drugs um no more gigs more publishing nostalgically today connections lost for what ever reasons the real answer being family industrious efforts um compliance (a dr hines word) um assimilation being a american with accountability (sgt wilson word)

so plated food at the table in a busy hub the chat and other ingredients

wegman's

so coming here a little reoccurring thing in the forefront of my head was this sort of continued joke or reality it being the military being comical (mil brats interaction the cost of their 'protection') so what's the joke really um i guess what i'd think of would be maybe my georgia experience that being like coworkers saying it's a pyramid scheme (even being cynical too while somewhat in captivity the indoctrination the complacency the spirit breaking) or a scam (the whole stupidity that others might point out to you like mil affiliates the sense of humor about everything)(see shaved head holocaust jokes or lots of those mean and gross lessons and the whole mentality to that like how stretched out clark gable can make sense as a  condensed orwellian answer despite i think a gay rumor) or another would be the like ridiculousness right outside the gate is this unenlisted (or other forms of contract national guard ocs)(the whole pretty side to a army neighborhood too but seemingly no crossing the boundary or making friends for whatever reason i actually remember with my travels thinking it'd be cool to be hospitable or welcoming with others that stability but from bucknell um maybe logistics to not doing that on the mil base i could really viscerally see seattle with us navy being cool) spot and then too the slightly weird look of that like the civilian brand and their marketing (thinking of another was in georgia learning some modern worksman clothes like carhart or real tree the non mil men around the post for example it looking like grizzly and rough and bleek other words later learned 'swampy' barbaric is probably the word)

people treat volunteers and veterans poorly also there's things like homelessness and stigma

so it's a good time here um actually a great time i'd think of this place having a little bit of like a 'college' vibe like the cafeteria that does have some traffick um so the food bars are good on my second go around with the pseudo meal plan i am much more miserly (i'd see wings that look great but i'd assume the price is impossible so i'd opt for a medium sandwich combo or other offerings seemingly inaccessible for what ever reason yet to wondering how these other people manage)(that'd be a whole story in itself unfairness or another being hostage jokes prisoner of war jokes while there's different dictators or kings who have sexual advantage over junior soldiers basically and secret priviledges offpost or other rule breaking)

um shopping here is good too there might be (as observed around all the different shopping store options) little differences and cool things available like i did have a good time with a kosher line of pickles um so more on it um so around here you'd basically need a car (which is somewhat of common knowledge) what i was getting at with that is that picture like non bohemian stuff like no bicyclist community here or getting around alexandria being distant stretches between stuff as opposed to some campuses so how to interact with the region

um it's a chain there's another location in eisenhower um coming to these um well i'd feel somewhat held back for a lot of it like aging and being deteriorating freedom like some muslim tactic like 'meeting of the minds' um some new explanation having dealt with 'the war on terror' yeah really hitting the army notes on this the mission being someone telling you to what seems beyond stupid be directly sent to be an amputee for civilians who didn't like you calling your unit the undeserved complaints or unpaid debts (and inequality) and unkept offers so much of that bs americans doing memes of not liking military and using them like toilet paper

um so coming here um it's pretty far away from some other stuff and in my later home owner logic it can seem rather pointless (these things that seemed like they were earned being blocked by ignorant annoying irritating others but then it can look even stupider with 'bohemian old men' is that a rental you go back to after your patio meal and no marriage homosexuality exposures) that being my logic looking at the other longterm home owners something like a rake placed on a wall that has some message to you before being ripped out of your home because of things like sodomy from the va or assimilating issues like grossness and selfishness

so yeah the actual thought um i'll go eat popeye's fried chicken 3 days in a row from instead of other warnings or threats so the comfort 'yeah i'm not in georgia being abused' um what i was getting at was or fishy things with my banking after a va hotline demands my entire social security number so being on coconut island and the ceilings in my county run cage i have a home i can regularly poop at (a unknown luxury learned) um

then it's the different blatant military users them and their deals or agreements or exclusion um essentially being identified as someone to be taken advantage of

a note of skid row stakes for the day out avoiding d spiraling

marlow ford

starting so my transfer of dealerships i used to be 'loyal' with mini cooper but then when i found out i was moving to luray (and there wasn't really a nearby mini dealer) i got my car sold (and did modestly well) and got a very new ford in alexandria through the official ford dealership that'd i'd later get serviced in luray

so in luray no issues and everything seems somewhat reassuring and future oriented (i'd think of this huge visual to what was shown around my old neighborhood that being people i suspected were tied to the veterans affairs later that realization in someway and that being a big characteristic) so what i'd be forecasting was like the people watching look to other stuff (another neighbor right across the street who had a ford focus and like noticing things like maybe sobriety or 'assimilation' is that the word some others with cable or other things noticed a dog single men) so as a little bit of a tic and focal point being that i'd try to be mindful of my budget when thinking of not only my current loan that seems reasonable now (in the beginning it was a little hurdle to get progress on it and not feel bogged with the loan a couple years and i've less to pay) but also the future when i'd need to probably get another better car (that being a little bit of a thing if i am healthy and financially well being about to keep that updated occasionally) for my own well being if that's what's in the cards for me

that was being near fort belvoir and washington dc where i did some drives around there that were smooth going to the dc va hospital going to fort belvoir  the post exchange that stuff around the move with the car being beefy pretty and even doing some fastfood on richmond highway occasionally something that was a little bit different from when i was like purely focused on booze and live music sort of being sucked into that for a while even despite maybe different descriptions about hearing loss

so my 2019 ford escape has been a dream no real issues and the charm of the car is good i believe it's american and i have seen ford's get to old ages and also high mileages as far as getting the moneys worth out of it the car actually has been rather extremely cool like thinking of how it's still in rather good condition i have seat covers over on i have a poodle (whose hypoallergenic) who'll ride with me sometimes it's garaged it's got low mileage and also i think i am the second owner the look of the car is pretty nice too liking parking and walking back to my parked vehicle that being impressive and wanted

that is something i have actually told my parents this a few times i am very happy and lucky i don't have car troubles that being a major luxury so i'll get the routine oil changes and any suggestions that come up i haven't really had to have any extra work done yet at all nothing um

so getting around luray i'll take it to the grocery store um walmart catholic masses i have one time went a little further i drove to harrisonburg for a dental appointment um i guess i'd appreciate what i don't notice about the car it's normal and not odd or embarrassing it's charming

so the big one for me basically would be another tic being basically thinking extremely far into the future at times (with my parents too symbiotic) i see things cut and dry like one side i'll be somewhat lucrative or vibrant and free (will i still do my hobbies or will that get shut down due to stuff like politics or other stuff censorship)(i think my movies might be done and there was other like semi ptsd things for me to avoid clark gable being a summary) then the other side i see is i'll be institutionalized from like the healthcare or a state worker being moderated and supervised but then another part is i don't know how near or soon something different could be i at one point thought i'd live at my old house in bucknell permanently but that did work out well on everything pretty much i made a little money the move was easy so maybe that'd be details in between that i didn't know that'd be no issues

so around here um the car is a little noticeably different then some of the higher end models my parents have like a bronco or a lincoln (like gps)(though there's the option for a sirius subscription) but none the less it's still a good deal and good i think i'll keep my loyalty to ford if everything good between us instead of what i was tempted with with hyundai another story was i chose not to get a second car (and thus second insurance for that car) for when i am commuted to alx for some overnights um maybe the money is better to have than the fun of another car and it did sound fun but maybe a little frivolous just be with my parents instead it'd be simpler cheaper easier

the luray location is head ache free and modern i'd think of the surcharged benefit to going to a reputable dealership for service and probably eventually sales though how long will my car last and my savings builds up meanwhile um thanks ford

mount vernon recenter

so i had been here occasionally throughout the years um i'd also note i saw some of my owner neighbors here um i'd think later i may have thought this was a good place to go based on colleagues and peers of mine (my age a single male adventurer) who went here like noticing details about them essentially i'd be thinking like taxes bohemia and appearance so taxes maybe being a help with being a cool citizen paying for your exercise service the bohemia more of that um a alternative to colleges a community social spot and the appearance maybe not getting too overweight or being attractive being a little healthy

um it's a part of a chain (i thought the lee district one is fun too with the basketball courts the high dive um other stuff little differences between the two i also remember having a complete blast when they had a rock concert here while i was in public school also fallout boy was there before they got famous) that i believe are run through the county (who i respect and somewhat fear i maybe foolishly could be known for thinking up ideas that can be argued or censored like when i wanted to get really good at guitar and a later avoided trouble was hearing (spoiler) keith r of the stones his parents were divorced so that being a deal breaker but at times questioning news maybe paranoia at times) the county i'd think like well here's a story early on mentors can tell you how to get to where you want to be and not to go where you don't want to be and thus facing the facts and earnings for our actions early decisions later improvements so with that i'd contribute my testimonial i have a somewhat famous name (a park book) and other things that i've gotten help with i am a retired disabled veteran (i have a paycheck and can cover myself also a va caregiver) um i sold my first home and own another home i have a business license that i keep active but don't traffick um

might mention here staying safe as opposed to immediate troubles that are present in reality so thankful for my civilian life i'd think they're actively in the loop for everything like knowing arlo g was at the birchmere before he retired (todays news and trends) so some of that i'd think appreciating getting a nice easy future like i thought i'd get reenlisted at one point and a off the wall answer to how i didn't and also don't have to slave over volunteering or

so whose responsible for my good placement from my choices my parents me other leaders i'd think lately the big tic for me is thinking of homeowners near me when i lived up the hill in bucknell um so i might mention sensitively that i think there's a little bit of political party lines on this here so that being i think some people here prefer the left or liberal or democatic party to the right or conservative or republican party but at the same time i think it can balance out where things still appear pretty fair maybe that being little 'kickbacks' or rewards for each side though i'd think the majority of northern va alx is democratic voters where there can even be 'older heads' who might have even the other way extremist sides like communism

a drop of blood in the water so i'd think coming here and setting up some form of regularity within the budget (the prices are firm and worth it) can greatly help in like a coach way like when qb's have summer practice with almost like football strategists um a few times it was a little territorial but i held my own and got to the next page of my days a little bit of somewhat of my lesson was i didn't fully assimilate and thus may have been catapult ejected or maybe a different explanation

so about the place basically it's a nice clean everything the pool the gym the locker room the ice skating rink and then some extra rooms for groups the if it's trafficked accompanying magazine events are helpful like there's all these classes offered through the county for all types of stuff day trips guitar lessons tea connoisseurs i've tried a few of the classes as a free spirited writer and drop out of art school i'd say it can be moderated which could be very good to avoid troublesome troubles (and avoid spiraling into negativity over unchanging realities) and other dynamics i assume the simple lessons will greatly help me in some formal way like graduating wphs was safer then other choices

so some of the workouts i'd do um aqua jogging or wading rather it think it's treading water in the deep end um the jacuzzi there's free weights the treadmill there's i think there's vending machines after getting a little light headed or hungry um

a little confusion i had was before the legalization when for a while i had so many people giving me undeserved grief but it was this i mentioned the drugs and there was a lot of peoples stories who maybe did or did not add up

i guess a different name that popped up that i've used again was templating the henry miller guy (despite questioning the stuff i mean it's a banned book and all types of paranoia over that) 30s

the home depot

welcome to harrisonburg home to james madison university so this is a great time with me and my parents um i think some of this was enjoying the college town from a day trip each time so i'd think of my parents having a good time with whether that's what they see (i'd think of many times my dad maybe steered me toward what i determined was the best choice based on some things he knew) or what we do (and some of it too was when i was thinking some of the obama campaign was about all these things brought to people everyone was going to get education everything would be cheaper all these promises but i haven't really followed biden politic news to know if they are really happening) so i don't know if they've had trouble shopping we've had returns before maybe miscommunications with the workers but it seems like a good time i really love that i get my military discount here (we get it at lowe's too) so that makes me feel important and valuable um it'll shave off a little savings and i think another option is the pro account membership

this was a little bit of one i have seen where my dad comes up with a genius idea but sometimes they work sometimes they might not i think we've been where something advertised wasn't always available

ok so for a little bit i've been saying this it's not as loud as rva but maybe i'm wrong like here's a little unraveling of a story making sense the parents involvement or basically i'm thinking like people getting adjusted and soundchecked (not aiming for the moon)(different patterns of young adults moshita had some bohemian vibes i guess) that's what it is like getting it ready for reality and the planning involved with that the soundcheck different tuning with different influences like different things i'd be distantly aware of charlottesville radford

yeah the jmu thing would be the big association in my mind i think there might be students with jobs around the city the looks of twenty year olds who don't have kids always

ok so we'll bring the truck up um load up with stuff there'll be some nice activities occasionally like the farmers market on the weekend i like the pickle vendor um we can get lunch at many choices too like woodfire grill buffet different places atmosphere and vibe

so my dad does his stuff here property management so sometimes i used to see all these great opportunities here like good marketing genius ideas people came up with and i'd share with picture uploads (it didn't really cost anything and maybe it'd be helpful and thus i'd be reciprocated some how) um it'd be quality resources for people in those trades and that done with charm with later more learned about those jobs like some of the brands carhart dickey's

i think we got past a first initial hump so we moved to luray and there i think in the beginning we had a little trouble finding different workers to use so now we have some and i guess a different story is i stopped doing the surveys i used to do those every where all the time

um a little picture i remember was someones house a neighbor of a friend he'd have his skateboarding terrain in the drive way um thinking of the workers like a mini fridge football roy rogers sheds garages smokers dens these little pictures of friends through the years a later huge one was beggars banquet from keith that like thanksgiving or something

inside there's all the departments for all the property needs like electrical electricians plumbing plumbers appliances handy men tools carpenters carpentry paint painters so different workers expertise on these the repairs renovations maintenance

so sometimes while we're shopping around leaving the valley we'll find all types of great stuff a fire pit outdoor furniture um a fan we have a great porch that's very nice to entertain my brothers family at um the blackstone griddle we got saves a lot of money so we'll find these great useful purchases

so around harrisonburg i'll see people i assume are affiliated with the school like freshman and stuff like that um i guess a huge difference here is it seems like you'd really need a car with the college (and i think it might be i don't know the place as well thinking of the sweet spots on other places i'd been like dc not having to serve food with booze) it not being as walkable or bicycleable um so i was also mentioning the location for this places charm like immature faces or the traffic like a parade with participation from the community the flow of people and different people

basically what'd it'd be like is getting supplies for a job then delivering them then the workers handle the job and afterwards a great finish the before and after

i guess the part i'd mention is the visual to it the presentation like things i'd daydreamed about or media references music album covers movie references books the real hobby effect (and actually there's a hobby lobby around here i have been surprised to notice some novelties or retail can be very direct and useful the sales)

vcu

following up with the academia lesson so i believe i learned a lot advanced a lot um experienced a lot so basically i had been on the grading scale rather poor but on the life stuff i think i did very well so an example of this would be i lived wild (lots of drinking and smoking and i even got some jobs while here to pay for myself) and got exposed to a lot (a lot of non politically correct things that can be repeated but other stuff learned too that'd later be expounded upon lots of things i know about) but afterwards i was accountable and paid for all of it my story being basically i got in was at brandt dormitory yes on the 17th floor in a suite with different people and had a real life fantasy then i got to academic suspension in about two and a half years or so while renting and my dad and mom solved my problems with taking me to the us army recruiter where i got a bonus (i believe i was about an even twelve thousand dollars in debt and i think a medical bill for stitches but nothing else no credit or any other stuff i stayed cash only) and before becoming retired (another life saver) i paid off my student loan in full (also before the student loan forgiveness was made)

so a little bit more um every thanksgiving when my family says what were thankful for i usually mention the education i got in richmond (another being the ebenezer scrooge play i got to see live sober um) i'd think i also sort of got the training i wanted i wanted to write books play songs make albums be a director a actor all these boyish day dreams and hobbies that early on i got access to though other faults no real marriage or um but things seeming to be alls well at every corner in real time at the moment then and now and later

i'd mention having a awesome relationship with a professor i got to meet nick sharp and despite how unmedicated or pre learning of antipsychotics (it was a scholarly paid help that worked) it was the immaturity i got the full lessons with teaching myself i'd just think of like later maybe little sort of manuals (keith r's book i was aghast from not sure if that's the right word but it looked cool) i'd get access too (and other education i bought community college while unstable or well now i'm fine) so yeah i still have sightings of tailored things to buy a little on that would be a perfect suggestion of henry miller to read i loved tropic of cancer and other ones that fit in good as something to sort of template but more of that i'd just think of some of it being the sheer genius rubbing off on me like not saying something then that filling in or being by the compass outside having a marlboro red with some black coffee with

yeah that professor it'd be like a good pressing received of stuff like da vinci ideas or endless names to research like tom waits or charles bukowski or rembrandt um henry miller and it like educationally showing you modern feedback from that like when i learned quotes or shakespeare before learning of royalties um and another was pro names showing up jack johnson played our freshman orientation other names too beastie boys wutang so it was not a hoax by any means a lesson on telephones or intellectual stimulation

um so the nitty gritty details basically some of this was i was smoking a lot of i believe what people got footing in new lives as bud salesmen but so i got high a lot also lots of cigarettes then too many nights at house parties frats too and drinking so that falling under the later word 'substance abuse' (before becoming familiar with disability) um maybe that gave me charm or perspective or presentations (maybe a vulgar stoner lens) but i don't know if anyone was to blame or thank for me dropping out sort of like jd salinger in a way um i had lots of exposure to the coed part with women (or trans something i didn't fully know until later) so just like a pg slumber party vacation spruced with later references and people catching me at checkpoints before the return to mom and pop and later home ownership

i loved the art school side of it and all the fun of the city (i might not have seen it as much with other cities i'd see like harrisonburg or) so it's walkable um i hope i wasn't offensive (being respectful to the faculty or what i got) i had thought of returning to this city before but never did like moving here and i guess maybe some of me was still at the 18-19yrs old age

um

so one part was i didn't graduate but other parts when i was talking with like the frats there were some who like did i think there were veterans i met not all with the greek life but there'd be people who'd say how far they'd go like thinking they might not finish or better directions from there um and the pi lamda phi was awesome thinking of like hobby skills training i was wowed by a magician um yeah other real life things going on money work but i thought i did well with what i got

so some of the sweet spots around here um the artist community like tasteful demonstrations to learn

eisenhower army medical center

i had a gorgeous time here but i do say it can be easy to get misled where some of my later humor and insight was things like unfairness or more of that seen from the junior enlisted but also could be coherently explained (also another one that was a little just plain mean was when i came back home i had run and so many people were just plain mean and even like calling the cops on me or countless unending bad things misleading trying to send me back after ironically having me recalled some people do not like military and additionally other parts like siphoning benefits figuring out how to use the american system or other stuff i theorized that were unfair zero friends afterwards)

i now sort of understand newt gingrich's facial expressions slightly offended but still secure or the maybe occasional winces

so waves and waves of fresh new soldiers (the ant colony everyone productive and the regulations pistol belts canteens) and all the different units completely organized (the fun of walking across post with a battle buddy to go get something from the px)(the great time with the dfac or the day coasting along school season with the radios tropos hclos um weekends) so yeah i had a great time i was maybe a year or two older then the average colleagues (and lots of little cute details like the chinese food delivery quitting tobacco um previous hobby goals write a book be a singer mil brats cosiness buying a game console) so i just remember i did sort of do some of my goals (so i think some of this was around the mccain things where i got semi logically bailed out of bad circumstances)

so with the wtb it was maybe a blessing later on a story i told my parents while having semi hospital tics (anxiety or forgetfulness um babbling) was i remember when i was getting out things like there was a guy mr glover with his southern charm (how far from florida where exactly am i) sort of mil civ golf clothes and another plus was i think he was a vet and that comraderie on the 13th floor who told me after this that's it no more trouble (i was getting a little maybe politically tough times the funny thing was the hospitalization i actually had some that were good like a pajama party with a attractive dream love) it'll be like when i started to uncover my neighbors backgrounds from childhood basically other vet homeowners so he said something like yeah you can just go sit on the porch have a beverage just enjoy it

another revealing story was things i didn't know about like interracial or big government bureaucracy um substance abuse mental health treatment um

so the confusions got cleared up like my true story avoiding becoming an amputee not to be insensitive um another fun part of it was georgia is different little things that can grow (i used to know the different parts around there macon) on you the other stuff later studied ga mustard bbq so just enjoying the crowds too um jimmy carter

so yeah that like world of tradoc um the barracks the appointments going to the signal theatre and watching the tops in blue or other stuff happening when i got published in the newspaper that whole like out of body experience i was somewhere else it was unfamiliar it was zesty and i'd spend time at the library and the gym um

so a 'benefit' was i believe i confirmed that somehow my babies people had had nothing to worry about i think there were actually people here and there who through my selfless service i was repaid by them getting my babies before later my for example meds got more in my system and not knowing what that'll do but it'd be like these reassuring that everythings gonna work out for everyone things like not leaving someone else in a bad scenario with my babies or me being a good rep cleancut masturbation um accountable

so yeah my time there is done (how i for years semi ptsd recalled older people enlisted and how i didn't want to return after being out though noting it could be a good time for others the name on that being clark gable i think)

um augusta and that harshness of local townies (the people watching stereotypes the mall) um the the abyssmal stretch you'd have to cross to get to a solid footing again so peaches um the times off post um hotel pool truckstop subway um the downtown the golf course the different tree kinds um the weather cold mornings

later things others may have envied i met king buzzo of the melvins at 930

so yeah i almost considered starting a new life here (and other places germany other daydream fantasies rva va beach) relocating the joy zones here exposure to more of the world the texan western side boots plaids more of america not virginia it just puts a smile on my face to think of some of those times the comrades when i sort of got mentored before the alls well that ends well conclusion with my family and returning home everyone eventually gets their share of the benefits everyone'll get laid in gross fashions

barton field the airport the duty vans the great chow halls dfacs

dinfos defense information school

without further adoo from laziness from medication combated with tea so i remember i had a huge scary time here that being i got kicked out (while still oddly cool and confident and believing in my future timelines) and additionally like a permanent ban (some of these extra details on stuff showing the severity in a way) from the grounds (but maybe in hindsight some of this was theatrics and other admirable qualities accentuated)(was some of my later deustchland tropic thunder ben stiller not funny and joseph heller +guillain barre) so i think there were little things tossed to me (more on it i think i was semi at a warrant but made it past unscathed see pre marijuana rules changed) to get through but here's what happened i was freshly dropped out of vcu and just done with coed ft jackson so what i loved was i did get even more of the campus vibe walking to the shoppette (that later i'd get in trouble for not to bring up more of the being thrown under the bus gently story to be brought through shiny and well) here's what i remember my instructor was tough on me and caring i'd think he despite all the difficulties (and i had lots of heartaches which is actually a jakob d word i just through in for fun) he probably genuinely had my soul in mind so some of that the love of the usmc (and enjoying the army too but i guess mentioning the marines for their loud reputation while also sensitive to understanding their difficulties the stresses) so there was stuff like when i begun writing my 'banned' book um there was a lot of condensed stuff in that stay um

i accomplished a lot in a way and was versed in studies and reality based skills displayed

so the huge about face i made it through when i was in the wtb back at fort gordon (where throughout my experiences i was somewhat chauffeured and sherpa'd the next help) so people knowing the earthly world of warcraft like map of military um augusta

everything worked out i think some of it was the army getting their moneys worth out of me and um (there were others who got reclassed but sticking it through and putting in and going to formations earning it)

oh so online i completed my course requirements the whole tolkien the hobbit part of the story with the payout was i got 10 thousand dollars which i immediately paid my student loan cash with um (with the new biden story somewhat 'offending' me for the forgiveness that being not fair)

so some of it too undoing my life was accepting non 27 terms i got my certificate i never kerouaced fully um maybe some backwards set ups from other students (lots of it being hard mean but there still being a way out and other stuff the story of my africa peace corps neighbor and different people seeming to help me from afar) and the fun of the other services navy usaf uscg um all the branches

the library the whole installation riding a road bike around post the chow hall free um barracks nights guitar liquor the movie room so catching up with me a little maybe lots endless celebs referenced to today like john frusciante who i saw the other night (with details like no tatts for me but still liking the different names) but that was a picture of the past recedes music video retirement being wanted blown up stuff of my recordings accessibly passing soundcheck (that was a story i heard warnings uncertain of the rest was it a motive or just cold hard facts but warnings of trouble if i didn't stop my hobbies so being safe um later i'd hear rumors about celebs parents for example things i don't want to happen)

espirit de corps the brief hard exposure to enlistment the pt run um charming formations the back side by the parking lot the basketball court by the windows the cq inside where there'd be the 'chain of command' to use some old vocabulary terms

um afterwards the huge door opener and progress maker (though despite my solid resume and experience strangers this is actually a recent topic of mine a lot of people seeming to dislike me though other parts some people liking me)(to fess up i actually was maybe i have some 'repeater' words was i was at one point maybe offended by dr phil and others but to today i think i've gotten past that um thanks va)

maryland getting dropped off at the metro through dc and seeing old pals um the seasons there the ait school year um 46q the different demographics in tradoc

so the stadium for pt um me trying to write a version of jd salinger's the catcher in the rye a slight rebellion off madison other names studied previously hunter s thompson with my cousin ernest hemingway with barreiro at the hotel f scott fitzgerald yeah just the quality media absorbed during that time picking up stuff here and there while going deeper into getting ergo my top secret clearance chaucer percy blythe shelley from romantic poets um being a legend

cleaning myself up getting back to my family the whole wrap up to being in a better place sort of but maybe now it's turning away from dinfos to the recruiter

hallways

miller's smorgasbord

ok so here's a huge great short adventure (bring my hand bag luggage check in at the hotel) my family and i will come up to stay a few nights for a miniature war games convention with hmgs (and the new cartoon network adventure time hotel looks great and other sweet spots being next to the golden coral) then while up here we'll go to shop or eat um coming to miller's has always been a terrific experience (sort of the aristocratic experience thinking of modern luxuries like a rpg character sheet for real life the unemployed time usage outfit savings lodging) i don't think we've ever really had any trouble here i think the only thing was they could get 'sold out' (the last few times) or fully booked so we'd have to look elsewhere (and shady maple was a good time too as an alternative though a little further from the center) since we didn't know to rsvp

so it's amish country a culture i appreciate respect (i like their values and styles) and do not interfere with (somewhat like other times germany the jews and germans post world wars um stories on that like i am not jewish or other direct parts i think the term is recessive for my blonde genes from dad) i heard that's a closed community so not trespassing um i have heard rumors about the life (farmers hints at adultery from non amish rep deals animal love um rumspringers stories of spinal issues just to not shock but say what i had heard pseudo super strength hard work ethics) i did think the county is represented here (the county gym near me in alexandria had a bus trip they were going to do so the reaches of different leaders and their diplomacy) um i am distantly aware of some of that stuff like mennonites using computers the different types of amish new old beach  

some of the buffet i'd like brown gravy and meatballs fried chicken the homemade mac and cheese with the breading the charcuterie mustard cajun shrimp a salad with ranch dressing or italian shoe fly pie with vanilla ice cream the place is very welcoming and i don't think i've ever been treated bad here (and different ways of that that i've sort of noticed such as territorialism racism um non veteran appreciation and another slight one being too expensive for meal issues i don't live on fast food due to that a story i sort of found out about the prices and another real estate agreements maybe)

um so yeah the place is glowing with charm (a word on a different unconnected topic i lately associate with alcohol) the gift shop the reception the different seating sections with the windows and lights and the spreads under the heat lamps

so i don't know if my miserliness lesson contributed to this but some businesses eventually closed i missed the gh bass um the town is still fun like lincoln highway the outlets are fun (seeing the in between holidays comfort around here the cold waves the excitement) if everything lines up right sizes (i'm 2xl now and i think maybe 40x32) needing stuff and filling that need um tastefulness

so yeah this is mostly a sort of business trip (i had previously shot videos i was proud of that were hidden later for safety) but maybe not but maybe more of a vacation too maybe some gray area um so another cool picture was trying to confirm i can make it here (thinking of the future like being helpful and something i could count on later on) it seems like it's booming with the two (or three) generations like the 70s boys and girls or however the older group who knew eg dnd like 1e or historical scenarios civil war those vibrant um i was going to sort of mention this a weird phenomena i think has occurred before was there were women who had my kid when i was asleep so despite how i could ramble about earth being horrible maybe that'd be a nod of relief to things working out ok so me being basically alone with my parents and focused on good times and maybe generating new opportunities

my experience here has me giddy and radiating i'd think of like the whole college campus feel exported +a car like how hmgs has hobby university the sense of community and socializing um which department was i into little foodie parts (might mention people watching some of the bigger guys and making sense of stuff like when i'd see my old neighbors and notice stuff not smoking tobacco um) little painting and collecting um around here other things my mom has found online too the central market dieners texas road house good n plenty

so i'd just say what's needed from me my parents and i drive up then it's just one after another um and thinking of maintaining this um pf changs um (btw i think i heard there was a news story on a food shortage)(another i got momentarily worried about was drugs in my system and reproduction but then maybe a answer on that is keith r)

a cold draft from someone opening the door so another one the owners maybe the parents seeming tougher and supportive seeming rock solid sturdy and it was this being someone's life's work like from scratch and year after year

o'shaugnessy's pub

the off night and an opportunity so getting into this it'd be some interesting parts about something i was into ok so at one point i thought i'd try to be a professional guitarist (and other hobbies)(and saw so many live like a ernie ball sponsors list seriously) but so it's i think on mondays they had a open mic night with damian who was serious and promotional (to be honest i was a little nervous when i played because for example i thought people would try to complain or call cops on me though i hadn't broken any laws but stopped before it went further too other stuff came up i moved to luray my family) so basically here's what it was it'd be like you'd have to consider if this was a career for you so that being like paying for drinks or food building rapport with the business being symbiotic bringing in drawing a crowd so here's some of it um the bob dylan (that blanket) so that picture a acoustic electric guitar jacked in humidity folk music building a name (if that's purely your intent as a individual) the presentation and visual sonic youth's lee ranauldo so i think he had pooped in the wilderness before slept in abandoned properties (things i surmised when i saw him at black cat dc) the trance from listening to him live um um the whole mall vibe and adults who were still into their hobbies of yesteryear teenage sounds that whole brand another was television's richard lloyd so i imagined him living in hotels with his guitar before traveling getting social acknowledgement like barbeques or entertaining um the little making sense one maybe being ed not to get graphic (and there's countless ones of these i could bring up conor o) um the whole cult following album the hit song marque moon um so yeah what i was saying was with persistence and discipline i think this monday night show could blossom into a full picture (making a name for yourself and getting the joint rock and rolling better than karaoke so the fun of playing for a audience and the fun of drinking wildly with a moderated event) um i had played i think 3 or 4 times for maybe 10-15 minutes those were some of my lessons on that (i'd played other times before quitting it was 'the teletones' and there was more to that like teletubbies or other stuff) soundcloud.com/aubrey-ne…

so what i was saying for that was you get there early so you can get a spot then you pay to support the overhead even a tip jar because i'd think a lot of jobs you sort of have to pay to keep your spot and do your showmanship (work accessories openings from your place) and then you keep coming back to get progress then too um you see if your circles will be showing up basically other stuff to get to make a vinyl album get to the next quest

so i'd been to each part of this place the food being hot and tasty (bagels bacon though i may have leant more to buying scotch and pabst) and quality the bar being charming the 2nd floor juke box side with security never a fear of violence and the first floor party spot um so what is it really um i guess a place to come drink alcohol and be with a bartender um there's music there's also pool tables um i guess the whole embellishment (that was a movement i said i was in that i started basically making anything sound greater and stuff like marketing it in a way)

by the way there were lots of nights where i'd spin around and be happy to see old faces thomas e stuart r um bumping into someone around the way

fortunately i had never had a serious issue here i think there'd been times where a little hiccup came up (i'd gotten complaints before or just paying and staying getting a little red buzz begun) but mostly all smooth and no real issues (call can i come back yeah and as stated their tight and hospitable and charismatic) um i loved coming here one thing i said maybe once was i found out there prices were in one way sort of the cheapest in old town (though then i'd have to add up the jukebox or that'd mostly be it)

so yeah the place i was as a interest of mine was going from listener to audio to performance and thinking of that whole experience like one name being tom waits (pianos a meal the neighborhood) like when i had the album the heart of saturday night

so some of the old town vibe um can in some ways be just as 'big' as dc (or different attractive qualities to whomever) um near the king st metro and near the fairfax county suburbs so easy ubering there and back um a funny little embarrassing story was when i was riding the metro access service to bars

so yeah i guess the picture of here the city it being bicycleable (day the gw park side the two story tall waterfront parts) um seasons in virginia so the regulars um so how much fun can you really get into and how to fund that what works the families the censorship the no matter how many times i've tried still the same hurdle of being outcast so coffee shops publication chats strangers introduced aging past 20s into 30s the spirit of bohemia being single

7 eleven

i don't know entirely what to do (it's like being confused or stumped) so here's what it is a little bit of a story was my friend who lived near this location he played guitar and was professional with his progress like one thing that i really admired was he actually made a vinyl record (other things when i was having reasons for what ever about my own productions) but so here's what it was i oddly adopted this strict semi extremist budget of only spending money on like entertainment (lots of top dollar concerts) hobbies equipment um and then i'd live off groceries lots of costco till recently the local stores so recently i got to a sort of stopping halt with that some of that was i stopped regularly shopping at the vinyl record store (a source of atm cash spending) near me for what ever reasons so now the idea presents itself to continue to save money for whether that's equipment (though now i've quit my hobbies based on a warning of pending troubles maybe injuries after many times antagonized from whomever is it power or is it truth erring on the side of caution not finding out) the affording concerts in the future that helping me and my family sort of but so then it's i have a little extra money from my steady income

so what to do i really enjoyed their food i'd love the big bite hot dog with chili and cheese the nachos and add jalapenos the wings (other stuff to recall coffee) lots of good hot foods and the baked goods are good too chocolate chip cookies done to perfection so what's my excuse um one maybe was they sell tobacco and that's a little bit of a temptation so not crossing that line into that risk just go somewhere else be happy to stock up at walmart or other places get quirky and tasty grocery bites

so some more of it um there's me carless in alexandria as i commute and this being a choice another was the sort of panera cafe (thinking into presentation choices) across beacon mall so there's no benches to linger and socialize at (just in and out and trash) and then my option of visiting my older brother in the old neighborhood i owned and sold at (and did pretty well my next mortgage the money made was put into there to give me a comfortable lower priced mortgage) um

so reviewing it there's the story of seeing someone else and admiring their accomplishments some of that too maybe from frugal or penny pinching things such as the diet choices (another was this like full time feel to like not losing when there's other entertainers out there who can be competitive like one goof and you lost everything maybe like a mario kart upset) so the plot walk up the hill to get some snacks (though that sort of offsets the parents meals i eat with them and maybe my diet stuff now i have learned of blood pressure meds) so but then another layer being what someone who did heroine told me that was somewhat deep it being something like watch this i'm going to eat a mcdonald's breakfast meal and then afterwards i have nothing from it and i could have done something cheaper instead and all that did for me was i'll have to poop it out i didn't get for example high or for gamers some reward from gaming

however so i was regularly at the concerts sometimes almost as a hospital tic i'll look through different calendars upcoming events movies on the way um so the counter to that being if i invested in other stuff clothes um recently i've joined the free account memberships with different companies online like thinking of what to spend money on that as a thing instead of tv or other day time energy usages um

so some of the story um a second chance and hearing hearsay about being a citizen (um other crazy stories i'd look up people living overseas like when i was stationed there um a real tic too being daydreaming about virginia beach though it's not like i'm running or having a warrant um some of that was basing my life off what i saw from the neighborhood though a counter being hoping my dad saw something at the tables when he'd game and some new answer for me as somewhat of a hermit)

so seeing over someone elses shoulder them having a great time with this the big gulp the park and pick up the walking the inside i used to maybe koreanly question mark anyways a few years ago when i could drink i'd buy icehouses here the forty two ounces

some my appetite and evolving into somewhat of a foodie liking a hot bowl of pho with mom (maybe as a beach boys rep to anti-stigmatize me for logically being around my parents the va caregiver the business etc reasons to not be embarrassed as i am in the background)

so the other day voicing this while with mother it was i'm not a european or another was alexandria is not richmond so some of that being my skulking and movie plots didn't amount to too much homemade documented projects but no new friends or how that doesn't work the censorship and american policies no dropping into others explanations drugs um so simple zen kung fu like brilliant ideas of what's a thriller gues

china chef

the other day my famliy and me went here i was going to try to find human words in the english language to describe how scrumptious this meal was the first thing that really just blew me away was the hot and sour soup (a favorite meal of mine) (it too being way better than cigarettes something about it's pull on me and seeking that) i got one of those for me and first off it comes out piping hot and everything about it is delicious the tofu the vegetables the flavor and from there i start having flash backs to the great chinese culture whether that's china town dc or martial arts movies (really was into kill bill for a little had a friend marty who showed his studies of martial arts movies was impressive those vintage ones i did see some of kung fu david carradine) so from there it was other things coming in and being a party in my belly the lo mein being good greaseyness (hope that word sounds right some fat in the oils i think) and the fried battered sweet and sour chicken dipping in the red sauce being another winner my teeth feeling like they're being cleaned by the heat the food temperature the mouth bones um mongolian beef being tasty with the other vegetables white rice and the visual as summer was ending like a barbarian or something getting through the future with style um fried dumplings to dip into the soy sauce that just wows with the tangy zest um as stated everything was to the tip a drop of hunger followed by sweet bliss like a opium hit going to the brain as a relaxed state to think of whichever animal for the chinese new year monkey rat funny faces dog dragon etc

so what i really remembered when i was here was in belle view there was a chinese restaurant called magic wok they did everything soo good (but they closed in i think the 2010s i didn't know why) it was in the suburbs and it was as good as when in the army in the georgia day room there'd be people ordering delivery and that guy would show up with hot containers for whomever bought (lots of good memories of specifically the chinese like restaurants with tea served or a souvinir i'd get and that having this huge look to it like the red color the buddha maybe some surfer vibe or something like california maybe) um and that good hit from that in the stomach (the wise wizardly elders the ownerships)(thinking too of jean claude van damme the gross eras clothes fits things used computers) um so another was seeing the neon light on that being like whether it was dc or i remembered springfield va a place i saw that had that like indicator of a great place to place and order for it'd be a reminder too of like the 1980s bill murray or maybe the neighborhood along the way back from drinking in dc those places with the total menu the whole fried wings order or other stuff i liked the fried wontons another treat was the crab rangoon (street fighter mortal kombat marvel vs capcom etc tekken)

so we've been to this shopping center before we'd been to the ciro's pizza before and that was a blast i remember i made these movies i was really proud of (it actually made me a little sad looking back rewatching some) it'd be family and the holidays um there's a good will here too those before i quit

i think we had a slight issue here so we saw the menu and ordered then i think the price seemed higher than we expected and anticipated and they said there was a new higher price currently in effect so that upset my dad a little (i told him another story that something sort of like that happened one time i was with my cousin for what looked like a buffet and i think he said they charged by the plate) but after that it was just hot delicious food and a good conversation my parents have a apartment complex near here they own and we saw a tenant stop in while we were here

so yeah this side of virginia stanley um i've heard entertaining rumors of a dog park on the way somewhere around here um i guess finding the whole zen picture around here the mountain horizons and my place car in the garage the valley the distant neighborhoods and the country sides the rainy weather or the outdoors natural light the trails to hike um

so i guess thinking of entertainment stuff other peoples housing the trailers the walmart the retro video games um toys action figures collectibles all the resellers around here the used stuff um i'd imagine i'd get a somewhat big order and then fill up first then there'd be it maybe on top of the fridge so the dog doesn't ambush it when i'm not paying attention so a little snackage for later on um

inside um nice glass window to look out a few tables you can see the back to where the food being cooked um a lit up fridge with bottled beverages the menu broken down part by part like a lot of other entrepreneurial chinese eateries the entrees the appetizers the soups some organized by meat pork beef chicken if they're open i'd imagine it could be a awesome christmas meal i think one year when i first moved we had golden china in harrisonburg

to quote kanye 'i always find something wrong' (run away music video) but it was this the benches that are gone are certainly missed i think the 'riff raff' that i may have been also as a 'tax payer' or lawful civilian aware of anyways it was that was awesome when i was a teenager and there'd be little things you could get away with like whether that was the smokers or the drinkers those were little things (i recently remembered how much fun i had with my cd collections the inserts on there too) but now that the benches are gone things continue along productively and business minded get in get a bite then back to routine productivity

so getting into the real mentality of it (the fry holster) i later watched some classic westerns on my dvd player gabbie hayes john wayne burt lancaster real slow burns on that getting into the movie getting into it and that being done for you as a customer the great plains of virginia the old frontier the wild west for me it was 29 even being a outfit um one even had william shatner so the whole picture of the west is a fun good time clint eastwood others the no country for old men javier bardem tommy lee jones and a refresher from the many different individualized great fried chicken joints el pollo campero kfc popeye's um i'd think of the years before graduating high school when it'd be buds and socializing um so the fantasy to use the hobby word (the neighbor eagle and empire moved to old town and is now your hobby place for anyone into that)

i'll get combos fried chicken white meat salty the breading um gold rush chicken sandwich texas pete spicy chicken sandwich tenders mashed potatoes and gravy mac n cheese fries um couple things from the dressing bar the pickles banana peppers mustard georgia style the boom boom sauce um deciding what to drink from the fountain unsweet tea sweet tea coca cola cherry coke

i had done the surveys where i tried to mastermind some new brilliant idea i think two on that would be a gift some useful new product or maybe detailing what's there already like appreciating virginia

so after all my hard effort it's still just this and not homeless or being bountiful and prosperous so it didn't morph into a campus or beach town or vacation spot (though the smoking admired not partaken in anymore seeing va benefits and healthcare rules about that the federal laws) some overseas mil adventure so basically that being it's in belle view and i've walked there before and i guess a little exercise in the process so when it was other times undergrad partying exposure um high school buds um the townie picture like the great book i never read 'jack kerouac the subterraneans' the hipsters and the sense of socializing and parts about that tea poems art school fame neighborhood houses

so the place has it what i've said of fast food 'down to a science' like the last bite before going back to the day to day grinds of life bh office suite internet computer grinding on ideas and publications and stories um before the pull out quit of hobbies avoiding damage um seeing some of the working man's man here the uniforms and that picture their great break from staying busy and invoices or office hours what to sell everyone the bartenders the fashion trends the technology smartphones um what the latest event is going to be (elton john tickets are selling one cheapest seat i looked was $500 a front row was literally four thousand dollars and it was lifetime alliance for income organizing it)

another sort of answer as far as lawfulness was maybe pay for food and things stemming from that better groceries better freedom like no police or complaints um westerns on cable too gunsmoke so the story back then um texan aristocracy the staging of everything the lounge bedroom the lighting the year winter to summer the cold and the heat ying yang the parents house the local gossip old friends from trafficked hobbies sports leagues and losing games reality

so me and my family being quite entertained stopping in any time on the fly park and walk in anything on the menu is there quickly and we can chat while there's other people stopping through the phone app too and website to browse the menu and have something to suckle on in free time what's out there um which restaurant to plan on and what to idly view

belle view belle view belle view belle view the local barbershop up the hill to my parents the distance to the potomac river with the poodle what can be gotten to old friends faded away their parents houses um the bars with the open mic for acoustic plug ins old town um rt highway stops to choose from the other place to shop from the far away part to the huntington metro for the dreamscape of walkers on a mission dc the capital um the collections of suburbs around the ways so giddy up partner it's like a rodeo man yours kindly now ya reckon -lake blutomski the cinephiles the recordings pictures videos video editing software hobbies external hard drive dog park days

costco

i think i overheard my parents say the gas is cheaper here so we'll stop and i'll fill up the tank

so i've been using costco for a few years now (there was a time where i would almost exclusively eat only costco at my last house in alexandria) with my parents um i'll like stocking up on some stuff that i can work through and know i am saving money along the way building up some cash savings (and there's stores near here that are entertaining the barnes and noble the michael's the mall the hobby lobby lowe's) so recently i've reintegrated the grocery stores (noting subtle differences in luray with walmart and food lion) into my plan so here i'll get maybe some frozen and other stuff that's not going to expire before i finish it so some of that um crab cakes other entrees bacon wrapped chicken stuffed with mozzarella vietnamese spring rolls with dipping sauce chicken nuggets chicken wings breakfast sandwiches burritos spicy chicken enchiladas some pho soups sometimes some cheese um good pickles jamaican beef patties

so also i've gotten clothes here that were great the shopping was fun seeing the bright colors and sizes (i really liked the fall feel this year the atmosphere settling in with that commanders yardage posted in my fb feed on my smartphone exciting and encouraging being uniform too assimilating with norms) in my size here since i've put on some weight (see meds) so the shopping here being a good time i've had the hot food bar before the ribs and wings were both really good um my mom's gotten the rotisseries too and we'll have that and there'll be meals she preps for us with stuff from here another thing we got that some places have had recently was the blackstone griddle and there's videos online for those that's a real help not going out and another money saver yum home cooking with propane

the harrisonburg location is fresh there'll semi be some glow from the campus jmu and the community college thinking of this as a college town and i'll also be up here for my va appointments so seeing different spots around here home depot the farmers market

so a real satisfying time here getting a few things that feel good and rewarding when i get back to my house and unload what i got for myself the other day  got some nice church and upcoming cold weather season stuff two different flannels (a blue one and and tan one) and a unique nautica polo i'd mention to really being under the spell of 'military benefits' like thinking of when i had shopped on the fort belvoir px and commissary before um maybe those get exported and also the coziness from getting new stuff replace old stuff to donate

so yeah the chain is nice i'll also still go up to the alexandria one occasionally i'll commute there with my parents and the whole brokerage stuff (being in the background when there was getting resources or other projects) so being familiar with their displays and what to get sometimes some nice stuff i think i got some good bigger stuff before like a 'writers' desk or a power generator for an electrical outage um what else some outdoor patio furniture so yeah another good time was using the freezer on einstein bagels that really hitting a good chord in those days and when i'd get the entrees too recently not as much wanting the sandwich rolls but another good one was the chili in tupperware had the chicken alfredo and others um street tacos

the food concession is nice and to the point hot dog drink toppings pizzas deserts um indoor seating with the crowds

so getting around harrisonburg um the buffets and where to eat yeah the whole being a good customer part like how well stuff here has worked for me i think recently my parents may have gotten me a desktop computer that's been a breeze so thinking into it the whole days spent at the house way of life the what to do computer dog tv (with video games available) um the ceilings on what's the end for stuff the old hobbies safe um a speaker i got here being american and the improvements or xp with being a grocery shopper instead of other characters out there but too still being a little bit of a foodie having great times with that unraveled sitting um

the samples when years ago that was huge they'd have everyone posted up handing out great things to get the full size of

a fully stocked house and the time starts so a few weeks and some of the frozen will be ready to get the same or variety um the picture of being able to entertain if that was there like offering things to guests from the bulk buy the neighborhood so sit on the porch and have some unsweet ice tea look out to the horizon watch the days go by and being retired um occasional surprises in person that are wanted a good deal or something you can get then that's helpful and calming and brightening

really liked the picture for beggars banquet as a current 'repeated' thing despite later hearing rumors about celebs parents so being cautious too but the whole libertine or bohemian stuff the other stuff i w

bu ddu mak

my favorite meal here is the number ten recently i've tried that and the hot stone bibimbop (tried thinking of what was simple on the menu that gordon ramsey show really got in my brain) so getting into it a great experience here from the parking lot in so there's the food court that has a community of people nice to have a pseudo college vibe or other common areas so this vendor is my favorite and i've been loyal there's other good places around too um

so my meal the number 10 a great broth that is hearty and spicy asian and a blend of the other flavors the sausage being bubbled in the heat the kimchi adding some pickling the noodles for some filling um and pairing that with a beverage like a refridgerated bottle of water and getting the stomach quenched so during all of this some nods to some asian styles the decor to think of hot tea or kimchi or a rice cooker um the families the churches the businesses professional parents seen when younger

so in the food court some what regular with my family great conversations um a firm cash price so the grocery store on the other side for shopping pick up some asian goods the different ramens or pickled kimchi radish or cabbage um being around annandale near silverado and some other nice dining kogiya

sometimes feeling the food temperature in my teeth like these ivory bones in my mouth um craving that slight drawl of vinegar slurped and asian broth the seasonings in it the salt too the ingredients at the bottom after the last gulp those last dots of yummy dining and the flavors spinning around into each component the meat deli grade sausages the kimchi a bite of flavorful oozed jarred lasting sour input to the soup um and other stuff seen on the menu looking good things my parents have ordered kalbi with i think miso bulgogi

so the sort of korean experience to think of people who've been over there the army base over there the look of the city and points of interest the whole different culture the exposure to anime or american ways fried chicken and stationing it going that far as far as style and presentation (donnell rawlings a veteran who'd been there) to think of the welcome quality other stuff seen from that hyundai economy cars when henry rollins had pictures of his travels over there the militant regions and kim jong the discipline and presentability

the hot egg on the hot stone bibimbop the dressing of the hot sauce shoveled around there adding zest some of the endearing qualities like reliability dependability long lasting affordability consistency um getting appetizers from other people the mondu with dipping sauces the whole asian flavor other stuff vietnamese pho overseas scooters chinese hot and sour soup hot vendor food outdoor spots bar crawling puerto ricans  

so some comparisons to deustch styles pickles kimchi photogenicness samsung smartphones used 'illegally' (noting produced media being censored in usa) um bagels bakeries other stuff i learned fully topped gyros american versions the concessions and condiments um maybe a little bit of a stretch the other stuff entertainment alcohol art sales another different one hearing of shopping with that and other overseas influences um other stuff the french or other cultures british people for people who've dabbled with different cultures just blurring the lines on comparisons

some of my daydream during this was henry miller and thinking of his vivid descriptions of life as a social writer banned personality published so a nice appetite for life the hunger for food and fun the walks the chats the generating material being outcast and comparisons to my own effort um enjoyable pastimes drinks collabs being alone and single and um the art student partying different strangers precursors and outdated issues of today the bicycle going as an expat paintings the open expression speaking beautiful poetic stream of unpunctuated consciousness

remembering the guy brief talk and him saying he was in korea at sherwood hall his style with his thrift shop seeing a used jacket there seeing the updates of donations and my neighbors as longterm marks when it was seeing it through his eyes the picture of the us army um

great fun here come with my family catch up um lively guests hot clean wanted meals so settling into america um fairfax county the nice other shops in the food court deserts drinks other meals soups sushi barbeque

popeye's

ok i guess i'll get around to this now

so a picture i'd remember was me moving to alexandria i was in 5th grade and i remember the owner seeing them then and everything from there just one after another getting through from graduating wphs to getting into a good college to getting in and out of the army (other strings of accomplishments getting out of debt and the listening to suggestions for a better future) so some of that one point i was sort of directly going to make was i'd put this place with the group of permanent owners i'd seen thinking of a few mt vernon recenter alexandria music am vets thrift store beacon hill barbershop bv safeway johnny mac's where you'll see your neighbors at so being mindful of that um another slight thing i'd say in the background was when remember the titans the movie came out just a small pinch of that for the older heads like this being before the whole obama 2 elected campaigns

also i thought within some moderation people might like my reviews for other stuff said but not going too uncensored (avoiding being 'offensive' or focusing on keith) just observations um

anyways so everything here is great every time probably and the place can be firm so what i was saying recently was being a good customer for a symbiotic relationship with which ever business um

um fried chicken and sides (there's seafood choices too) sometimes i'd get a bigger order with a few more bone in pieces and then have that as a snack later on um the spicy or original the mashed potatoes with cajun gravy i miss the cajun rice

i guess i'd see the picture of growing up through this like being a kid playing football or being an adult learning of later things i was ignorant to pharmacy social work mental illness disability home ownership minorities um in the background i might think of two parts one being like being on someones books for like coverage and another being this franchise is on the ft belvoir so those two being like insurance or staying in good graces with a provider

yeah this place would seem pretty good for the like fit with being next to the recruiters seeing people coming through here the term i said i think the businesses need is traffic a influx of customers but it was it appears drug free with the people which can be encouraging not getting in troublesome scenarios maybe too the pretty side of seeing pedestrians outside despite it not being like other day dream maps rva va beach wholesome charming lines of people

so yeah i'd be paranoid thinking i could get messages back to the old units or thinking this was a pro-veteran type place (the 'presentation' or 'visual' to that outfit weather nostalgia for duty stations) um the food did hit the spot as good as any of the other choices around here lunchtime is coming up and i was thinking of what to do about that there's jersey mike's taco bell kfc mcdonald's (those being on rt 1) don't know if i want the nearby roys or subway um

i think that was me that got the mac n cheese here (it was a place pollard's in va beach that got be crazy about it) um i was doing the surveys as a pseudo job despite my now arrival at being able to mostly do nothing um i really miss the cajun rice that was taken away another was the mexican pizzas at taco bell um

so yeah that picture of me as a kid and then from there parts too like staying healthy haircuts or dental my sort of lesson now is i am dependent on the va like that being my center for life sort of like the pay or the healthcare so following those rules and stuff

tasty food that satisfies and too the pretty picture for the brand the jazz to think of duke ellington or in a conor oberst song a line that sounds like humidity and new orleans the 'nobody changes' (but not getting in a bad mood over the songs melancholy) a modern bluesman um the black history to say it like world war music and other historical stuff studied country 'the house of the rising sun' modern times um

so sitting in a great time can come with family if they want to to um there's a outdoor table seating too um to today i got all my answers cleared up it looks like the caregiver um hard truths and sensitivity about that too um i guess rambling along the place made it through many eras too when it was checkers or others that disappeared

the other reviewers i'd not agree with for the low stars as stated all was well to think of a little happy story of it being like i'm cosy at home then i see a poster on their wall or think of this being the idea 'thanksgiving beer friends' but that never happened too much and seeing how it could've been trouble but it being like gay moods for the box of food thought of beforehand going in person and it's all there big fountain drink and a price that trickles down as the years seasons continue winter scrooge spring theatrics summer preseason football fall oktoberfests the whole calendar ahread

love this place and even some of the other choices roy's and kfc great food quality sort of concession? healthy fast fried receipt surveys dine in alexandria location chicken biscuit sides i like the red beans and rice the cajun rice the macaroni and cheese the cajun fries the tea the food box on the tray

melting pot pizza

the owners dead i heard but the place continues with the same grit quality style that was actually what i was sort of going to mention the front royal personality some of that was thinking of when i got into skateboarding (and basically anything you want if you set course and are persistent you can probably get there eventually) so i was thinking of that when in richmond on campus and that rewinded back to the like my cousin who has been honest about smoking so some of that like the redneck the southerner way and other novelties to that like quality goods but a unreplicable originality that was what i was sort of getting at like some of the regular employees charisma a guy with somewhat of a froggy voice and the tunes in the background and attention to everything all the food all the way fantastic um and maybe a little bit of harkening to other eras the 90s for some or even 70s 80s the whole eagles thing i later looked into with a grocery store magazine

so the food is trust me the cash and it just comes to the table or to go we've eaten at the park by bing crosby before with the whole atmosphere a footbridge sort of like the monet painting so some of the choices i loved fried pickles with ranch the chef salad with ham turkey mozzarella lettuce oil and vinegar grape tomatoes the supreme pizza the meat lovers so it is done correct and as a craving food like the inside is good too the different tables and the warmth in there the bar for who goes there i think i heard a deceased immortalized friend of my dad was here and another cousin so some of that seeing the locals footprint like driving through and remembering this like wave back to the owners and their habits the flea market main street so it's on the other side of town sort of as a trivia bit i think my mom told me the road it's on is called 'the by pass'

um the food description still hot breaded fried pickles there's another sauce a chipotle um the creamy ranch that blends together like alchemy or some magic trick or some recipe of flawless victory of the blend so the salad the fat in the oil and the kick of the dressing um the meat in it the cheese um what else um the hot pizza crust and the cooked just right pizza toppings the original style not new york not um who else is there and i think at one point they'd mail the pizzas and you could cook them at home um

a great time with family so remembering like my aunt who lives in town and her townie charm the walkable to the gas station or the little caesar's chain but it'd be like memories of the adults being mature respectable civilized weddings holidays christmas thanksgiving pictures held onto forever from the disposables i think um seeing relatives the husbands and the kids getting a little older each time um this being a safe clean hot spot of activity and fun not a drug or gamble though there's the sports on the flat screen televisions

always some person in the background (a old head a guy with a white beard a waitress with bubbly or quick service) who just has that southern hospitality that southern comfort (and the local employees knowing little things about what's around skyline drive i think i actually didn't know christendom was there for years um) that slight twang (to think of people who know country music or big lots scores of shopping) that blue grass (when my grandma would have her inspirational speeches for me)(and everyone around town knowing this place and it being a little nod of achievement for the people getting treated to it and the firm price for the solid meal) that cityfied hill billy (to think of rural king or smokers tobacco um) the other stuff not to get into slurs the untrashy (but having the phone on purchases when i wanted nikes) the prideful good uniformed workers being tight and with good presentations the casino walk to the table or the sizzling wait to pick up the phones ringing the people you can see eying the food being cooked um

people who were there before or knew you from a friend of a friend or some relative them still showing up and putting it on the line to quote bruce springsteen 'to prove it all night' so the funerals happening and people you didn't know who were there who had good intentions for you throughout um the catholics too but so to be cared for and treated to a satisfying time hunger and being fed with the top ultra ingredients

this place was someones life's work and it is a delicacy to be at the table and hear a witty line from someone or a calming line about any issue being aired foolishly publicly honestly um other people showing up encouraging when the kids wanted the wrestlers and normal hard worker survivor humans with tatts getting by just fine the outlaw way the rebel way the great people watching harley davidson wrangler walmart um getting there from luray the maybe 45 min guess of a ride through the no cell phone service zone bentonville to there um waiters being employed undisabled and providing great service for the customer answ

navy exchange

it's been some years but when i went i happened to be on vacation in va beach and we were driving around in between board walk hotel waves and as a retiree i was able to go on and shop with no issues um (later i think the caregiver rule changed which i could understand being gross or) so i was like under a spell here (and too thinking sort of crazy outlandish stuff like mil benefits could come from the queen of england) but so i remember i got some clothes (some i still had some donated) that were outstanding i'd think of like fond memories in common areas with the other branches of the mil like at fort meade (sort of seeing their backgrounds like a mortal kombat loading screen description these glorified legends) (with ft mead a sweet spot on that being the usmc detachment them always impressing seeing them by burger king in ft gordon too) later the real picture of the navy would be like this (understanding it and being sensitive) but it was this picture of this ship at sea during a storm or these like horizons of water the vastness and then little clips of other stuff like scuba divers or things from movies oceanography and maybe the 'lifers' their like what they saw that embellished somewhat um so i'd just see the like veteran heroes (more then a old person with a hat there's fb links that i'll skim sometimes on people that are entertaining other feeds holocaust) and also i'd be still lawful and abiding by va policies (going to my appointments taking meds etc) so that too as far as my social work (i think being safe but terms and hearsay too)

so some shopping like i said has really gotten to me i really loved the fort belvoir base where there was a news story that said the new px is the biggest in the us something about american clothes um the different fits and styles and other departments too

um as far as vacations in recent years i haven't been as much maybe saving money or other stuff (day trips) maybe the pandemic but a few times there were other locations that came up miami my aunt in texas um a cruise from baltimore um where else talk of overseas um though a recent one being hmgs their conventions lancaster pa amish country

so one thing i remember fondly was the barracks and then other stuff like before losing touch with others (fallouts my  before quitting producing hobbies or) thinking of some of the mil towns like i think when in ft gordon augusta people were saying some mil towns were like arm pits or something i was thinking like some of the grossness really makes it even better to be understanding that others trouble isn't good but i was thinking like seattle when there's riff raff or the whole new town while young thing and others too older service members being vibrant the whole community in there like the 18-22 range of people who with the army i'd see a lot just got out get some education the training and then different guesses about where people went

i found the website for the navy exchange and set the va beach location as my home store though i'm in alexandria and luray um maybe someday i'll get around to doing some orders i do like doing things in person for things like no sizing issues um i've managed to do good at other places costco clothes and other stuff um

i guess the excitement of that and now a little bit of comatose numbness to all the great things not being hungry cold scared um i did have this vague plan as a home owner and thought of virginia beach a little like other places i'd been at when i was scraping by in vcu's rva as a drop out before enlisting um now luray um these nice places i'd been at for however long so yeah the whole home owner picture and terms about that being with my parents my caregivers

i guess learning more of the navy stuff like i heard of the herndon monument thing or not partaking due to not gaming but the west point or army navy football game um when i saw the whole pirates of the carribean franchise or that man man music video head on um being a cinephile

so i guess what to shop for now that my conclusion i've arrived is i sort of can't do anything so quitting my hobbies um insurance um avoiding bad things on the way so my huge conclusions were internet dog tv menus shopping since i don't game or another not drinking anymore um i guess thankful and happy and another exposure to some of the stereotypes 'swearing' and as stated understanding while also alone and future bound to home ownership and freedom (disability and retirement sort of unemployment)

nationals park

so i guess one starting point was this huge surprise so my dad's friend gave us tickets to some games a few times and it was to like a catered section um what i actually remember was at the time i was thinking my thought that i always lose at any game (and thus not gaming) so i think what blew my mind was after that within the 10yr window of my dc nightclub drinking the nats won and the caps won and i saw other stuff like full metros with jerseyed fans um i thought it was this huge relief and freedom after that happened (i had a huge scare previously with a court date and getting away from that and post mil ways)

so last night i went and had an amazing experience at the nationals stadium i was there for a rhcp strokes show (and the opener was phenomenal too a little bit funny a little bit cool other descriptions they were called thunder cat)

so i guess here's what i sort of did i got to my seat in the 'nosebleeds' (the cheapest seat i could find maybe a week in advance but then later day of prices dropped and also i think people were asking me about how many people were there my dad and an uber driver were i guess wondering how much money they made) so here's what i was sort of saying i am seated up there then i see lots of different stuff to watch like i see the event staff who are 5 star with their assistance but here's basically what i see sort of throughout the event having got there early it's like 'buy this no trouble' or 'don't buy this i'll show you what happens' or like 'here's what you should do' so i listened to that (and have for years) i think at one point i thought i'd eat when i got back to save money but then i sort of read that that'd be getting a complaint from the cops (and i've had that happen before maybe people making faces at me or and don't want any of that trouble) so i asked the concessions what a suggestion for a meal was and i got a chicken tender box with fries that were amazing stadium food um i think that pick was also slightly cheaper then what i had considered nachos and a hebrew national is i think the brand of hot dog being served so i finished the tenders and a lot of the fries but there were some left and i thought i saw the like pantomime someone eating the left overs and making me look smart as opposed to not doing that and me looking irritated or agitated (little details that everything was 'firm' and smooth no troubles)

so when i got there i got some merch and it was pretty 'radioactive' (what i really remember was when i was doing dc music i saw brian wilson of the beach boys and i got this green shirt) (later it was tough but i parted ways with my entire graphic t collection to the mil thrift store but maybe too it was a smart move i actually remember thinking it got like to the penny back to me when i did that before i enlisted yeah i've donated collections before and sometimes charity can be as good as like big business) from the lincoln next to ben's chili bowl and i remember hanging out with my brother with that shirt of being with my family i had it on in florida for a vacation but it was this like maybe word i 'repeated' lately was 'obnoxious' (in a good way) so i'll see how good the stuff i got was but it was exciting and photographic picturesque thinking of the whole night like it was refreshing to see waves of people dressed in their going out clothes at the stadium like the women the men the others trans and some people looking blatantly like a different cultures represented to be politically correct and censored everyone was nice everything was hospitable for the night gates were at 430 and i got in and then the show kicked off at 630 and i think it went till around maybe 1045 with an encore

so more of the night um was entertained and everything was laser precise like maybe a small comment on a conversation overheard with a guest or participating with the entertainment requests the strokes were really good too thinking of their pictures the music videos afterwards the uber ride was a little more expensive then usual but the budget i set forth previously made me not sweat it too much i've basically been eating groceries and not spending money on very much of anything soon going to ft belvoir for a errand (was raving about the post exchange and commissary one time my mom got this summer special meat pack that we barbequed as family and it was a beautiful time some of those were home movies too)

um the whole baseball stadium experience um the comfort of a night out the fun of seeing other people 'chocolate city' one sort of part was i smelt marijuanna here and there um

afterwards um a checkpoint the lineup i saw with john fruscainte back again um parents calls and checking in so made it through no issues um no problem with the famous peoples tattoos as reps (i thought it'd help people i knew who had tatts less stigma a formal representative) i think i skipped the condiments section though in hind sight um as the show got to the headliner most of the

birchmere

was going to follow up with a more comprehensive after action report so basically everything was terrific but um here's some of what i thought of before i head out tonight one was the show i remember getting a ticket for it was i think the church starfish tour 30th anniversary so that and then some med changes for me and another was consecutively making it to catholic mass with my parents that was what i sort of read mind mapping that so that as a marker look at aubrey he's doing ok as my testimonial because of later lessons disability unemployment retirement um it was everything cleaned up (no more drinks) and the coming back around was maybe i was wrong about some of the dc greatness but maybe i was right to not say any negativity (as i prepare to see rhcp strokes instead of blue oyster cult tonight little scheduling things) um i think some points i was going to make was about being ignorant (and some good reading with john waters like the hair spray story also i think i'm gonna try to make that dec 21 performance if things line up right the other i missed was that citizen cope one looked entertaining before it was taken down) it was my stopping some previous hobby goals like how here's a term later i heard professionally applied to people that to me was shocking 'permanent homeless' so these things i avoided think i might try to get back to some shows again soon like my days i can i think maybe do tues or weds when i commute up (what all is there really to do the basement the shopping centers getting the car loaned for the fort belvoir benefits) at my parents so getting that all figured out as stated very tasteful very good times my last review may have been a little off but i guess read more in my reviews for the latest another was the real answer of 'you can't do that' so hearing that such as warnings (how i said i've quit all my hobbies for safety warnings) about stuff and getting out ok um for me smartphone desktop computer internet cable tv the dog um groceries fast food what to use my brain to really dream up um trips to alexandria on the calendar again the long sleeve shirts and other stuff i got from the merch store were very good and useful also some of the people i've met there were firm and very professional and good for directions like with all the music clubs i was going to say to not get misled or angry i did pretty good with my productions like one i was impressed with was i played o'shaughnessy's open mics a few times before the move and adjustments um i guess that could be some mental health

also was going to say that some details on my future i've sort of groomed like i don't think i'll start a family or my goal of being a home owner um other stuff being lawful like not doing the decriminalized legalized but still federally not allowed marijuanna where there's beyond hello open now by the country club um so no issues just meeting each checkpoint and staying safe and fearfully cautious

enjoy this place and dealing with reality it is nice so by saying reality meaning understanding the prices and what people are willing to do (i have bought numerous merch and food and alcohol those appear to be the only choices from the venue) so appears to have a good future-oriented image meaning maybe mind mapping to somewhere buy this and this should be able to do this later on as well as a nice picture of aging see that person in the crowd that could be me or that could be my parents later on so keep going and being resilient and optimistic not too worn down or jaded as a customer i may not have seen the crazy cool side of this place as much as some of their younger colleagues like rip rock and roll hotel citing fu manchu specifically or even the loud boyz campaign 930 club many greats from my generation gwar conor oberst black cat the city essence titus andronicus and other venues too fillmore lincoln theatre capital one arena with u2 or joel osteen all known for their great quality entertainment so i miss vcu campus with friends adventures though i also do not miss debt or pains of growing up i liked the army fun times the good times so pre-social work the living space around others in some ways yeah the barracks were a lot of fun my roommate in germany and nights out on the weekend in the country but so the food was pretty good i did mention a few times the oven or something might have tasted off but on the most recent visit everything was delicious i had like a beef weck or something? with the au juas dressing? concern over the toilet a few times so that was going back to funding with paying club dues or something so the toilets work but i do have a medical condition so i may have used the bathroom a little bit more this time but at the same time i was one person going pee a few times after a few iced teas the alcohol is nice but like i said i may have enjoyed the washington dc side of things more in someways despite the higher uber costs and the longer commute but so the security scares me and people usually complain i can't even begin to understand what i've done now i show up by myself talk to some people who work there because no one will talk to me without complaining is my jaded response you try chatting with anyone anywhere and someone makes a complaint a rebuttal i heard one person say was then what's the point of going out you're better off staying at home if you're not going to hang out but anyways i like this place and the prices are firm i currently am on the borderline of my budget partially due to some changes and also some upcoming preparations mentioning a few times a potential move to luray virginia but everything works good and everything is nice

taco bell

so i'll preface this with a little bit of my off topic unanimous sort of lesson this being don't do anything what i mean is i am disabled and retired and i like that and further recently i quit all my hobbies a preface to a warning so listening to what could go wrong (guitar piano video photo blogging writing paintings miniatures skateboarding) so what i was sort of getting at was at one point i was very productive and i thought some of this was valid and solid material i would even do just about every survey i got but then i think the whiplash that came back to me was people just didn't want that (me being identified by people as an awkward mystery shopper that tension) for what ever reason understanding i'd think of privacy for the owners too which i sort of didn't have i'd make movies inside my house so it'd be me thinking of a way of contributing but then different stuff out there like me not being a sort of professional guitarist anymore or other of the hobbies

ok so that's that now this taco every time i have been there it was been like (a later fastfood applied word i coined) scientifically good the portions being right on the line (the swarm from the burrito and add some hot sauce packets) and every part of the meal like down to a science (missing the mexican pizzas that nostalgiac novelty) come with my parents not getting embarrassed by anyone everything (also the ease of just throw away the trash and put the tray back instead of the troubles of cooking at home that work) hot and clean and courteous um a few times though wanting a little extra thing to accompany the combo (are 3 tacos enough with a drink but maybe for others unmedicated that's healthy americans) though the grilled cheese box they have now was perfect full from that (i think it'd be one chalupa taco one taco one grilled cheese bean meat burrito and one nachos set and a fountain drink and then some hot sauces maybe fire or hot) but maybe it was some hunger or something anyways afterwards having an appetite again

i was glad this place didn't give me any worry for a second i got scared of some other places like the walmart thinking my parents business would be tough but and with walmart those help and are cleared up (i do what i can in the background to help the family) and we keep going without trouble um the errand trips i'd go on to home depot with the mil discount

some of the workers here appear regular and quite professional and helpful very good directions from here very highest skilled worker knowing their jobs um hot foods no trouble ambiance clean tables thinking they are putting their full attention to the tasks and noticing the good times

so taco bell um in the past i have fond memories of this a little different one being (glad that's over) but it being like a save point or like some social presentation like pabst thanksgiving beer friends um since then it's a different picture i'd be thinking of like going with friends and what ever past picture was going on though too i could have been semi in a bad place and got through that so maybe that was pay the food and get out ok um

other nearby choices there's the food lion that has a great food bar (fried chicken potato wedges jalapeno poppers) um burger king the gas station subway um a few options around this part of town (hardee's) then the other further drives southern kitchen cathy's new market harrisonburg woodstock front royal

one thing that sort of happened was i stopped using my smartphone for like blogging and stuff (instagram tumblr youtube lots of productions) and instead installed the different fast food apps on my phone there'd be loyalty rewards i'd build up though not really cash out on it was like boredom (and i don't game so it's not like a video game building my account) and what to do while disabled and retired like look at menus or what else could i really do um

i decided not to look for a job sort of i saw here and there some places were hiring but terminally decided against that numerous dead ends and issues and better off scenarios (i am dependent on my ssdi and ret probably for my life) (other issues getting fired or needing caffeine and a toilet um explanations that are true about my better way as the now as stated conundrum of doing nothing cable tv dog um computer)

so a great menu a great price a great experience um thankful for my parents and me driving there getting the whole hallucination to that which car was which decade and the sort of concessions like food like stadiums or other places um picked this over 711 (i think one reason on that was they sell tobacco and i don't smoke anymore but it being there thought that could be a temptation though 711 was awesome when i had their big bite or other stuff the nacho cheese and chili machines) um the prices are firm and build up but occasional stops here it is refreshing and loved

now that i don't go to as many concerts this place is more approachable for me previous excuses or reasonings

sea boil crab house

this place is cool so what i was saying about that was the inside like old school wood interior and really remembering alexandria before the huge change like when arthur treachers and other places were leaving that being like the real book close of an era when target got here until now when all these new places sprouted up jersey mike's mcalister's the safeway renovation the new walmart or so maybe the location finally hit it's stride i think i remember when calabash closed (it seemed fun and stuff but i think my as a reviewer issue was a few times i was taught the lesson to be miserly like the drink menu looks good though i now can't drink anymore but i'd think of how to get that fully loaded like the uber ride or an alternative to old town like i guess being unemployed with time so what to contribute) and i think there was a place before that not to bring up a difficult time oh yeah i think i had 2 brothers soul food maybe once and remember it being generous and hot everything was perfecto

i think my parents may have alerted me that the price was a little bit higher (maybe too in comparison to my regular eats costco food lion groceries um taco bell) but it does seem sort of worth it a whole experience with it um

so here's what i really remember i actually had like blood lust in my eyes how good the seafood was the real winner being the signature bag they have so all the seasonings and the quality seafood making this swirling madness effect i was sober and it was just like the pretty visual like seeing norfolk or virginia beach off season in the winter that like memory of vacations to the beach um the sausage added in the bag was a breaking point and real snap in how tasty the seasonings were spicy cajun salty um i think another is garlic butter

i haven't been there too much (and as a new comer was welcomed heartily thinking now the new yelp good user would be the regular i was regular with other places though as stated a lesson on being miserly) but um there's things added to the bag like potatoes and shrimp and the gloves and bib that come with it are a life saver no mess afterwards hands are spotless and nothing on the clothes either then a nice damp hand rag kit

the other things to add on to the feast (and thinking how cool looking back the artwork for beggars banquet was rolling stones but i later heard issues about that keith's parents divorced and rumors about that with other celebs is it fake news or is it a lesson in different specific outcomes to famous people) so the wings the fried shrimp and the dipping sauce it was out of this world and everything was like top grade quality meats and

as stated the crab legs being 'award winning' or am i think of the pabst logo um back from the dc nights to today um

le bledo eatery

ok so where to start on this brilliant establishment so the menu is when previously i was so enthralled with washington dc drinking (little did i later know that there's different rules like not having to serve food with booze so i was a bit of a fan of the famous live music with the add on that there were 2 dc championships in the background though i didn't game but thought it was remarkable) but what i was saying was in my experience i think everyone deserves a 5 star because if the requirements are met (to think of symbiosis for the businesses while also protecting yourself from getting out of budget) whomever is doing an excellent job like thinking some of these are on the customers to participate like getting the 'traffic' (to use a sort of drug word) the regularity of customers while the hot foods pumped through the rush

yeah here you'll see a steady subtle flow of people in passing and thinking of good people watching or like blown out asian the seasonings and

so the menu is to the point with each item my choices of what i'd get would be some combination of bahn mi (a great sandwich) pho (a soup that i recommend the sriracha that craze that is up there with like the best pickles you've ever eaten in your life and being able to finish a jar or other vinegar cravings) cajun fries (like the five guys perfection of hot food see them handing off the brown bag with the salt on it and the oils from the paper cup scooped up) fried egg rolls (with a sweet dipping sauce and there's some of that at costco if you have an air fryer or mini oven to participate with the vietnamese culture anothers snap dragons a brand currently with pho bowls at costco) a broth cup (and the add ons being mentally stimulating the bay leaves onions other stuff in the miasma of hot slight sweat on the nose food) so those all being hot and done phenomenally (thinking of what's a good restaurant like tactic for a little i got confused about the gordon ramsey tv show where he'd like break down how to improve the places thinking of that with simpler menus that getting in my head when trying to contribute as a patron usually with my parents) i also would comment that the ambiance is a dream it's gorgeous for anyone like military personnel who've been stationed elsewhere (thinking of seattle california maryland deustchland georgia these hospitable and loving stops) i thought it had some of those off post charms like 'street food' or me daydreaming about vietnam being a little bit of a vacation and adventure thinking to of the vietnam vets

there's a few other pho places around that are good and um kingstowne has one viet house on rt 1 um

there was absolutely no issues and the price is firm and good it's not like the fast food corp chains (i think they can sometimes get like scientifically streamlined on things but then again the little sba stuff can get just as competitive with their offerings and presentations i remember later i was raving about pollard's in virginia beach) so from here i'd estimate for a meal in virginia with skipping breakfast or that maybe computated in i'd estimate the price around the state would be $10-20 dollars for a solid meal (but you could get there at like $7 after tax minimalistically) i think the large size pho is $15 and i sometimes have a little to go cup that's delicious the noodles the meats a sur charge for the meatballs that are like deli grade

it's in springfield um the owners appears to be there all the time running a tight ship there's some of the nice sighting over there um other point of interests around there the mall the sort of industrial or hotel pockets um musing on the different people stopping in some office people and others drizzling in i'd be here at lunch usually not dinner though um my brother driving me and the nice cafe like thinking of using the internet on the computer or smartphone and being up for a good time

also it's french and asian i thought so loving the francophile stuff the bread the soup the cafe the cold beverage um chats conversation appreciation writers um ratatoiulle was a french rat disney movie um getting that through if you didn't know that i think wikipedia may have said it like vietnam was a 'french colony' or something

la madeleine

had an absolutely phenomenal dining experience here i looked at the menu noticed the french company placed my order and waiting on the food but some of the visuals like the indoors seeing other tables looking almost staged but not like the awkward theatre way but like the reminiscent nostalgic for other times looking in front of me while eating my delicious ham and cheese (the name was also presented in french) and thinking about the word for when i was engulfed in my life from the ages of maybe 12 when we moved to 19 thinking of like coats for example or another reference being seeing the chocolate chip cookie and remembering when that was a thing i would get when i was younger to top off a meal even like the fudd ruckers i was having a blast and chatting and the staff were soo good i might start harping on  the french parts again like paris or the language in addition to maybe 'corporate' putting on awesome music through their system i was truly impressed and then i had some other good visuals like i told my dad one person he could reference was there was a older guy at the ford dealership who appeared successful noting their similarities and looking through the deserts i ended up getting a sweet coconut cake lots of extra details like thinking about how the music might not sound as good with out the illegal drugs in my opinion see marijuana and other unknown things that can be in there cocaine? but that was also referencing the term i couldn't find a word for maybe citing the game beyond good and evil 2 for xbox one that hasn't been released probably a good term would be french that might be it the nice style and sheek cool or smart ways everyone hear did a great job and i believe my parents said maybe we'll come back again we stopped here instead of going to moby dick

freddy's frozen custard and steak burgers

a nod to sarah jessica parker's fictional character on sex and the city a town journalist (though i think there were book versions too not sure which came first the show or the book) but anyways with my connoisseurial review the lights on the signs were nice from the menu to the entrance it was a rainy day after a drive and we stopped here for the drive thru i got the cheeseburger combo and a turtle sundae might have liked the cooking here a bit more in some aspects such as the fries the way they were heated or the other qualities (burger patties) also i think this place sort of reminds me of in-n-out burgers also sort of reminds me of white castle the food was good everything tasted clean sanitary hot tasty the look of the place is nice and the price was pretty good too also sort of like five guys remembered other good items on the menu alacarte but didn't have time to waste ordering had to have my order ready but some other good items i saw the chili dog despite being a little messy have had their cheese curds very good lastly might note that the employees looked nice and professional and maybe even american though in this day and age i don't know if i can exactly get away with commenting on ethnics or other demographics such as the difference between old town alx employees and the mcdonald's near me just an observation (though elsewhere in the state there's variety with what you see at the places)

silverado

first review done from my smartphone so the inside is brick and has warm lighting at my most recent visit all my checklist was met nice conversation good food good visuals and the toilet i think that's everything i was here for my nephews twelfth birthday and it was enjoyable my parents were doing good too from what i could tell such as future images (even saw a sweet older couple from where we were seated) so the waitress was very professional and even put forth some what i dubbed showmanship such as a nice looking covid mask believe this is in the mike's chains i had a bacon cheeseburger and a chocolate waffle the smells of the food was nice big on meals with mom and dad lately again reiterating jakob dylan robert pattinson entourage and others infatuation also forgot to mention a awesome place from the past was so good buffet many cool factors of that but back on topic different then their neighbor burger king nice interior experience there were the pens on the uniform

amc hoffman 22

what i like is there great movies shown and the approachable location they are back open again the concessions are delicious when i'd get them (may have been minamlistic due to trying to get more entertainment value get another ticket and skipping the food just get groceries) the theater is very impressive upon entering with the grand entrance and the art displayed near the eisenhower metro stop i guess i remember this too from when i was on my fun dc excursions or budgeting things towards the end i remember seeing the lighthouse here surprised an indie film was showing so the seats are comfortable everything is good bathroom i guess i may note that though i only give 5 star reviews you can catch people slouching but at the same time you can appreciate your purchase and being a critic can be tiresome for others i did like the recent throw back movies shown that reminded me of page theatre or the byrd there's parking next to the garage that's free can't wait for the pandemic to end so i can get a good groove for production again i myself enjoying some tarantino style and wanting to work on my own works

dairy queen grill and chill

i remember vacationing here to see my aunt
took the train from jax and ubered to the island where i'd get a rental car
so what i liked right by the beach and some beach suburbs
fast clean delicious cheap american
everything i had was memorable and fun i even got some footage while here during a movie making i was doing
there's outside benches too
fernandina beach amelia island
the menu is pretty good there were few specials and choices +the combos
remembered the workers being charming and professional maybe a little higher standard because i think some people know i do the surveys and the reviewing

the burger shack

so this is an expansive part of the map it's outside fort belvoir i like the name (burger shack dealing with housing real estate your pad that's the one your pad) one thing  it'd use as a reference point was when i visited my aunt in florida she told me to go to the like park that was far away on the island and the contrast is what i guess that was about that offered a good comfortable feeling afterwards on the return so citing the location but back to the meal well first off i heard yelp destroys small businesses so i am working on doing a good job at not doing that (i am not directly paid from yelp i just like reviewing and i noticed some people don't like being reviewed as a side note but also i like a good meal with what i like is conversation visuals and the food) i guess my two gigs on me would be part of my disability and i think are somewhat fair so if a refill is there i take it and if a toilet is there i go pee (usually) (i need caffeine to stay awake due to high medication dosages) but the burger patty was awesome the nice finnicky side of me liked everything may have not been used to their fries i like the salt and seasoning on them and it was something different so great for variety though the bun is good maybe mine reminded me sort of of a brouche to get into the details but the overall everything was impressive the outdoor seating was great ambiance and keeping in mind the originality so it's not like some of their 'competition' five guys green turtle mcdonald's shake shack chadwick's so the ocd side of me has noticed lots of places giving maybe i thought too many fries and i did like getting a perfect portion size where i finish everything but then again i've been remembering when i had jobs and didn't do the best at a few things such as instructions or requests confusions but i love the location in someways being next to wegman's the new side the pseudo campus feeling whether that's community college high school some college or what your education is nice to get a bite next to a familiar errand also closing with the checker print on the tray was a nice touch enjoyed the cooks and staffs appearance and professionalism everyone looked scrumptious and acceptable good working class too +heard some john lennon on the inside

west grove dog park

i have been a regular here and this is about the most fun and the only thing i've found to do recently chill with the dog with other dogs and other people what i like is hanging out with others and i love dogs and pets in general (have wanted a bird but was also skeptic of laziness added responsibility and home bound commitment) but i guess what i miss would be the heightened sense of fun so i don't think people will react well if i want to: take their picture (see rva journalism though i was maybe jealous or disabled from partaking when i wanted to be a star or make content) go hang out after the dog park (see vcu winging it go to one or the others place to lounge) talk about studied interests (see art school so here are my four painting writing music video +journalism or blogging too but what i have been studying) i guess what i am getting at is i miss when i was 18-19 specifically maybe entertainment (though i don't smoke anything anymore) and entertainment goals (i have made some finished available recordings for example online) so i keep working on these projects and see how well they will come out (see wanting to get a good network to collaborate and also sex censorship +confusion) for example i have an upcoming thanksgiving family movie i am working on i think the dog park is free but they are having a fund raiser currently there are other regulars who i see occasionally i like petting dogs and enjoying the weather with a conversation there's a seat i liked under the awning

primo family restaurant

this place always puts me in a good mood it's in belle view shopping center and i walk past all the time from the belle haven professional building when  i am doing an errand like delivery mail or picking up my mom something from safeway
one thing i like is the personality like when i bump into a primo relative there's elias who always is cool and fun to be around +he's greek which is a cool culture to see
i like seeing this business because they always look like they're doing well with their regulars and when i've eaten here everything has been good i usually would like a gyro or my parents would split a pizza and i could describe the texture and niceness to their pizza and as my brother who worked with pizza said the way you know a good pizza is how it tastes the next day there pizza tastes good as left overs too
i did see they now have some competition with belle haven pizzaria
the visuals here were pretty good this is from memory i haven't been as often lately but the seated area cozy and comfortable or the to go with the nice art and loungey later on fun pick up

bertucci's italian restaurant

so last night i had dinner here as usual with mom and dad
it was good but what made it good? well i love lately having a nice conversation with my meal and that puts me in a great mood talking the big talk so i got to talking about things i enjoyed and was interested in and felt good and the inside was nice to dine in during pandemic
okay visuals the different parts of the restaurant what i may have liked was they did have good staff good insight locally but one thing that got me was some of the stuff seems like it might come from a sealed plastic bag and be not as homemade as other places
this place seems like a classic staple of american life from the big divide
the chain company or the small businesses both being good in different ways when my dad asked me which one i liked more i said the entrepreneur because of seeing my parents in that industry and wanting them to do well the example i referenced was seeing an actor i love robert pattinson (twilight good time high life damsel harry potter etc) i heard his dad owns a car dealership of a variety of tasteful rare cars and more on that back story being entertaining such as the being your own boss and what not
so there's that this is the franchise like keller williams or weichert century 21
but a different part being i was at the dog park and spoke to someone from there and i was memory filled with good times from high school for example the maybe the term is china but the things from them american eagle tech deck lord of the rings marvel wendy's power video etc
different then the greek mom and pop's it's italian and professional and good

cracker barrel old country store

liked the mamma's breakfast i got (french toast syrup eggs sausage)
like the businesses style from the store to the menu to the wall decor some of that reminds me of some of the other surrounding areas flea markets and what not
friendly workers good attitude small world good management everything ran very tight and professional
nice bathroom
like that this chain is elsewhere too i think i went to one in georgia once with my parents be surprised what a good meal and chat can do to get your arrow right
was with my parents and everything was very well formatted
may have noticed the dine in was nice as usual
good company brand no meanness or difficulty simple and easy
in some ways this place reminds me of like a university maybe like greek life or some of the other nice gimmicks and sort of trustworthy
good seasonal visuals before halloween fall the store lights the store in general a nice feature
similar to the other branches
i think my brothers order had some trouble but they gave him a discount
i didn't have any troubles and saw that i remembered the good times with cracker barrel and even thought of big businesses corporate skills

il vesuvio italian resturant and pizzaria

like a precise laser how good everything is cooked right next to the mimslyn custom and home grown giving me a drop taste of luray seeing some nice fellow guests the tomatoes and cheese and crust for a stromboli were awesome has some of the big city charm for here still trying to get some advising on things here and there mentioned someone knowing more than you about stuff saw a lot of bill dudley real estate but this place was charming and they put forth the effort to put up some fun halloween decor the inside is a lot of the simplicity not bogged down or stuffed also i as a sort of disabled person was easy to use the urinal this place appears to be like a town epicenter focal point mentioned to people i belive luray is a hubzone also interested with finding out more about the performing arts center or the art building i have been wanting to take next steps with my four interests writing painting video and music (+journalism like photos and other blogging)

southern kitchen

had an awesome conversation with mom and dad while having desert here enjoyed the 6th avenue heart ache visuals to it like the diner with the being provided for and designer aspects later had a meal here the food cart was extremely cute and charming the staff were very pleasant and pretty i liked the restaurant food and the visual for a next chapter i was looking at a house for sale and some things on my mind were like john frusciante (sic not into tattoos for me but don't have problems with them) like the stratosphere to use the college word but it was the nicer neighborhood affluence the surrounding sellers (flea markets) displayed conversational pieces (seeing bruce springsteen's book or cosmo's factory ccr some background thoughtfulness) it'll all work out but back to southern kitchen great hang out this one might have seemed a little more touristy

kathy's home cooking cafe

the host waiter was very nice and welcoming the interior was very nice and as i've stated lately enjoying the visuals beautiful part of virginia mountain country the menu was good so was the option for one of the specials the tea was freshly made and everything was well operated though there's the other choice nearby southern kitchen but very different this one sort of having a house feel but also being on the main street i think the visuals i saw that i liked were the shade of blue if i remember right for the paint on the wall the calendar of the menu the managers charm and knowledge seeing older patrons doing well and the future guide on that then also seeing someone in a hoody going out a back door (that really got my attention with the comfort and fun maybe partially referencing being a previous smoker and different buzzes) wholesome cooking

chipotle

reminds me of a military dining facility in a way with the line to the plating area the mexican food here is tasty the dining area is good i like the custom food choices (i'd get white and brown rice maybe black beans pork +queso add on sour cream hot corn cheese) that are healthy & yummy tastes clean remember when these first came out maybe a little over a decade ago the drive up is nice beacon mall parking lot

walmart super center

great products affordable comes with a survey on the receipt thought of aaron watson referencing this place though i saw that guy in person (twice) a few different departments the groceries from here are okay there's a sort of deli market that's much better than other choices in some ways costco or other groceries available from other places foods the toy section here is much different then target i do like some of the technology department stuff i got a cassette recorder here the store seems sort of like a buyable answer where there's a lot of good shopping for what can help you with your goal there's art supplies here the food prices are pretty good from the parking lot the visuals are okay there's the entrance and the store floor plan

fratelli

delicious food great for a family meal italian! wonderful restaurant ambiance great to have a conversation at pleasant lighting rich and tasty entrees and appetizers light too (filling and different choices) and deserts authentic meals cute location in west end have seen people having dates here? i liked what i had last time i went with my parents and got a ham mushroom sauce tortellini then later on a cup of coffee with cream and sugar the coffee beans were really good and i was seated next to a big i think acrylic painting that looked real also could see other people in the restaurant while i was having a good time with the family in preparation of the future

thai ghang waan

one of my all time best friends was thai not that that matters but i have been a regular at this place with my parents for a little while now the food is very good and plated in a good way everything is tasty and the ambiance is nice too like a cafe but also mentioning that it's asian and there are other parts of the world with nice reminders i like the cashew chicken the drunken noodles the pad thai the jerk pork strips the pathai salad etc i was here today and as per usual had a good experience even at the end there was halloween candy offered! nice touch i also like the thai ice teas very good the portion is good and what's nice is the intelligent activity to have a nice meal i think this is springfield

wendy's

this is lately maybe my favorite place to go one thing that really was cool that i've mentioned was the orwells picture at wendy's look up the orwells band on youtube so this wendy's everything every single time is cooked perfectly as was at the last location that was near me i love their menu choices from the pub fries upgrade to the other optional add ons nuggets chili i really like either their burgers or their spicy chicken sandwich when i was younger in high school i may have been exposed to this place with stoner munchie food so smoke then get some food from here that was a much different era though the employees are all very hard working and very good the restaurant experience is very nice for dine in with the same furnishings from the past i did mention liking the visuals here from driving from bucknell suburbs through different parts of route one perfect and professional did have to make sure i knew what i wanted right when i got there seems like classic american food and as stated the orwells picture was drunkening

jersey mike's subs

the phone app is nice and convenient to use all i need is my cvc code from my card and i can order food mike's way is pretty good the cold sandwiches and hot subs are both good there are occasional rewards for setting up a membership this is in the same shopping center as some other places buffalo wild wings ihop michael's i like the big kahuna and a few other choices italian the menu is pretty good they had one of these when i was at university at vcu good chain one note being i like the white bread with maybe some mayonnaise the way that blends with the meat and toppings the interior when it was here was very nice for a quick dine in but that's gone for now i guess seeing the menu choices and reading into what to pick for example the club sandwich is pretty good but i forgot all about jimmy john's near walmart that place was good though i haven't been there in a little while

i guess one last note on this being what does something do i mean i could save money on eating at places and get groceries is the food just a turd what does my money get me? maybe being hypothetical about some purchases like panera getting the cafe experience or other read into planned thought out spending on

very good beautiful presentation and visuals the garage outside the casino food court the elevator the metal tray food boxes the restaurant delicious quality ingredients from a simple burger joint menu pairs very well with national harbor the bacon cheese fries are delicious so are other things hotdog coke burger enjoying maryland mgm from where i am at in the alexandria suburbs it's cool get sort of comparable to drunk at the casino from the slot machines then go back to the boring time passing of alexandria neighborhoods worth mentioning other hang outs i had been to that were fun rosecroft umbc and additionally mentioning the maryland side of it maryland's cool different look to their areas very charming thoroughly enjoying this place during the colder seasons something about the warmth and fun during fall and winter coming in with a layer on whether it's a jacket or a flannel and having fun somewhere else may be harping on this but alexandria can wear me down with a few reasons but it's home and i'm not moving

so here's one thing i'm seeing with clubs so there's the precise lines of fun but then there's also the using a professional nice parts so in other words what i'm saying is for example people can be annoying or using a club service can be different then for example being a drop out townie (filed under massive troubles you could be experiencing versus trusting someone on their suggestions) but that's all aside the point this place is awesome for it's continued content quality arts specifically music? the name is good and very well thought out like a good table piece or a permanent answer like 'the car i'm going to sell some day' or 'my dream home' many bands that also appear and lasting entertainment with good answers some things i inadvertently learned was thinking of venues as churches and schools but also maybe some cooking lessons some painting lessons some pseudo friends in passing some media suggestions so what i am now getting at is what is it about is the point to drink some beers go home do it over again for some years? though in some ways i think he's deceased now but i had a neighbor landlord mr martini who appeared to have had an awesome life somewhat what i interpreted as a social alcoholic and vet but so the washington dc thing it is and was beautiful from blacks to the capital to beyond the excitement of the club and not being jaded about regulation so a crowd sort of like a mass but what i mentioned missing was the behind the scenes back stage parts like associates say for example when raymond drove me here for the first official time in a while so like the camaraderie is what i'm getting at while avoiding scrooge behaviors and persistence i could keep rambling in pseudo possibly annoying for various reasons zine formatting but what it was was like when there was the sold out better oblivion community center show that looked good but i think i may have been seeing an aaron watson show around that time at 930 club their sort of friends right the venues that is? so what i'm now into is henry miller as a role playing character to choose from at the start screen though one thing i've mentioned to colleagues was some of this stuff seems literally impossible but people do it all the time so the loud boyz era they worked hard to get there and i don't know how they did it i tried like once to get 'gigs' and failed later more open mic nights at the am-pro level but closing out rambling with you're in good hands and their reputation is vast i think i got pulls from the black cat night club a few times with things i was doing from richmond black cat pulls to germany black cat pulls they know what they are doing i am just adjusting course with my goals see parents rebuttals or other reviews on what i was up to under my dylan crusades and anyone know more on the dylan ginsberg thing? forgetting entirely the homosexual part of that in some ways but just a chat

really enjoy the brain washing of thinking the military benefits are like the best thing on this earth so shopping here is nice who doesn't like shopping? retail answers so i like the in person instant answers but some of it also appears uniform or also censored it's a nice trip to go on base from alexandria and pick up some things the food court is impeccable though where i am i miss a lot i'm not assigned to a unit which is a giant plus but also i don't get the nice parts of having friends so going to common places and chatting with people plus the encumbrances and annoyances of the pandemic looking forward to when it ends but also the two parts i was into aren't necessarily at this location there's the art supplies and the entertainment-media but then again will it actually get used or is it just going to clog my house but then again the 'competitors' or other sales people offering like exported benefits from social workers as a paranoid explanation so there's walmart and other stores that have quality products for sale too not to mention the commissary also but on base it's fairfax county i might say that somewhat disparagingly seeing the bleek side of things like regulations rules the upcoming old folks homes being installed or already installed so healthcare pessimism but the alternative being shipping and handling shopping online if that gets there so also thoroughly enjoying the electronics if it works mindfulness my great purchase here was probably just some clothes or a The longboard

haven't fallen under this places 'protection' by that i mean a provider covering you with your sort of bills paid service so you pay the person in person and then you don't deal with frustrations or troubles later on but so i do like this place and it is nice the art supplies are cool but it sort of feels like it's missing the community like the artists network i like the fun i like the good times but also professionals to bounce off so also not being annoyed or bogged down or baggaged away into stagnation but it's nice for alexandria it's not necessarily richmond art school type townies young adult as a vocabulary word what people's backgrounds are skill aptitude seriousness intentions but also understanding some background things like circumstances so i like the acrylics and may when i can track down a more professional set of acrylic paints to use better quality the store is stocked and it's in fairfax county so read into that with your own ideas as a local

really enjoyed when i took the train there was the university trips then later a vacation in florida so the train is charming other places maryland for day trips but something different was i didn't necessarily see the bob dylan fantasy through hoboing? that era of americana though that was much work probably facing discouragement and mania and other excuses to quit but back to the train never tried the sleeper cars nice seat window to look out the food car working toilet etc

ram's head live

saw jakob dylan here and it was awesome! took the train to get there but it's maryland and i think i later heard a name for it is charm city it's further from the waterfront where there's the aquarium and philips city life but man was it good although i wasn't drinking a few different places to watch the music from

heard there's a disability and retired community here

so to the restaurant different than panera bread
good menu choices and nice ambiance
main street further from different suburbs
quality bland american deli cafe
nice chill spot in town next to a performing arts center

what i'm looking forward to staying the course to get this to go through is collaboration and original productions art writing movie music what's there to do for fun around here? non alcoholic maybe but also getting used to the new location wal*mart and what else there's the art building
