under pressure

i feel like phakeberry may need it's own tag, soon.
today it was thought that MAYBE there is some addictive ingredient in it. Cause when you're not having phakeberry... you really crave it.
Plus, when you eat it, and people try to make you smile for a picture, you get really annoyed and a lot of hatred takes over your body and you can't help but look disgusted with said person. (pictured above.)

ba ba ba ba bom

I met up with Matt in South Street today cause I really wanted to buy a certain CD. I didn't get the CD, but I did get phakeberry.

This really worked out for me, because when a struggling rapper, A.p.p.l.e.M.a.r.t.i.n.i (which stands for A People in Poverty Long Enough Men Aqiuring Riches Through Intelligence Not Ignorance [what an odd choice for a rapper name, am i right?]), stopped us on the street to try to sell us his CD, I was able to say, "Oh I just spent all my money on this ice cream"

Anyway, Matt listened to his schpeel because he's currently managing a rap group (until after their show.. then they're breaking up) so he has to pay attention to the scene.

In the end, neither Matt nor I walked away with Apple Martini's CD. Which was okay because I'd rather hear a rap group with an ex-con, anyway.

the hardest button to button

I've been learning about what makes a dive bar a dive bar.
Rule #1: There is only one beer on tap.

As you can see, this bar had multiple beers on tap. THEREFORE. Lickety Split is not a dive bar.

right?

Anway, I don't think it'd be possible for this place to be a dive bar when Topher and the Bossa Nova Brigade are playing.. how could anything be a dive when they bring so much class?

young hearts run free

jenell and i went to philly.. walnut st, south st...
but not 2nd st :(

run down the beach kicking up clouds of sand.

awhile back, lisa and I were in philly where we saw they were building a rip-off of PinkBerry.

Well it's open now, so before we were going to do our Philly plans, we stopped to get some.

As you can see, it's very much like pinkberry, but slightly different. I tried vanilla yogurt and snickerdoodle yogurt in mine. Then I regretted the snickerdoodle one because it didn't go with my strawberries at all. ANYWAY. Pretty much the same exact thing EXCEPT it's all do-it-yourself annnndd...

So then we were supposed to see The Dandy Warhols, but as it turns out, we didn't really want to go see a band we really knew not much about. (plus, I bet they're one of those bands that doesn't want to play the songs that got them any popularity :( "Boys Better" - "Bohemian Like You" - "We Used To Be Friends"!???!) So instead, we literally took flight on RT 55 and tried to catch Argyle Gargoyle.
But just like Topher's set, we only caught the tail end of it.

oh the well.
boobs?

now if she shakes it like this will you shake it like THAT?

I have had "Shake it" by MetroStation in my head for a long time now. I feel weaker by the minute.

Anyway, since Jenell was off partying with Buddy in not NJ or Philly, Lisa and I were left to our own devices to plan something to do since we were no longer going to nyc.

Since Jenell is normally with us, hanging out alone is always a little weird. I always tense up at the thought of a 3second+ lull, so what could we do to avoid that?

The first plan I had was to go to a show! I mean, they're SO noisy, it's really hard to talk. You only have to find conversations between sets.

Unfortunately.....
I mean, it says, "For Real". There was no way we were gonna work this out.

Instead, we just went to South St. where we were FORCED to converse with one another, and thankfully, it wasn't that bad. We had some really good sushi, and looked in 2 CD stores. Then we went and GAMED and won light up slime skulls.

AND WHAT IS THIS FUCKERY??!
SOMEBODY'S GUNNA GIT SUED!!
Lisa and I walked by and I said, "what is this?" and as we stopped to look someone else walked by and said, "Is that pinkberry?" You can even see in this picture someone looking at it on their double take. tsk, tsk.
OH WELL if it's as good as pinkberry, i don't care!
