Jazz, in my opinion, is the best genre of music. You may think of it as elevator music or background music for a cocktail party. Or it's slow and boring. Not really. What you don't realize is how much genius goes into each recording. Except for the melody, most of the song is improvised on the spot. That's what makes it so amazing to listen to. And no two recordings are the same. Every version of "Take The A Train" sounds so different, so it never gets old. Each artist has their own, distinct style. Living legend, Wynton Marsalis (trumpet) Jazz makes you think. Today's pop doesn't. Seriously. Next time you turn on some jazz, really listen to it. Listen to the bass, and the piano, and the drums individually. It's brilliant. You never know what's coming next in the song, unless you've listened to it a million times. My favorite record is "O Tannenbaum" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio. I could honestly probably hum the whole song inclu...

Today, I pulled up to a stoplight where there was an innocent sky blue Nissan Leaf. Probably around 2012 or so. Light turns green and the dude floors it. LOL. What in the world did you buy a Nissan Leaf for? The car gets like 100 miles per gallon but it has like 20 horsepower. A freaking moped could beat that thing if it tried. It makes no sense. You're wasting gas in a car that was designed to be fuel-efficient in an attempt to go fast even though it's slower than a horse-drawn carriage. These stoplight racers are hilarious. They also race to red lights and then slam on the brakes with 5 feet between them and the white line. Dude, relax. Take your piece of sh*t prius to a track and see what happens. You're not cool by racing your grandma's backup car. As a matter of fact, you look 'bout dumb as sh*t just sitting there regardless. Who cares about the environment? The world is gonna end in 2012 anyway you idiot so you might as well buy a Mustang or something. Next ...

If you guys noticed yesterday, I was wearing a referee jersey. I am indeed a soccer referee, which is partly why I know all these things about soccer moms. Every game that I ref my hate grows. For today's blog post, I want to bring to light a phrase that I love to hear from parents. During a 10-year-old recreational soccer game- *kid falls after the slightest touch and starts complaining* *I let play go on, no foul* Mom: "REF!! ARE YOU SERIOUS! KEEP MY KID SAFE! SOMEONE'S GONNA GET HURT OUR HERE! " Me: "Uh ma'am he got all ball" Mom: "Are you serious? Open your eyes ref!" Me: "If your child is hurt feel free to call 911. Otherwise maybe you can ask my dad who you probably assume is a doctor you RACIST B*TCH" *Mom stops recording on her iPad and goes to quietly sit in her 2004 Honda Odyssey* First off, concern for your child's safety is a feeling of sadness, not anger. If you actually cared about your kid's "sa...

It's Saturday again. I hope everyone is doing great. Spoiler: This week I have chosen another modern-day pop song. Like I said before, I'm not a fan of today's music. I have plenty of older songs that I love, but whenever there's a decent pop song out, I'll choose that instead. "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen is not getting old anytime soon, but chart toppers only last a few weeks. So I try to enjoy the record before it makes me want to smash my radio. Don't get me wrong. Maroon 5 has come a long way from "This Love", "She Will Be Loved", and "Sunday Morning". And not in a good way. With that being said, the beat on this song is bonkers. I mean I don't even know what the song means but I don't care. Is it about a struggling relationship? Like some T-Swift and Harry Styles bullsh*t? If you know, tell me in the comments. Also, I can't even discern what the lyrics are, as you can tell in the video. And ther...

Today, I came up with a brilliant idea before I went out to lunch. However, I have to admit that I haven't tried this yet. But anyways, here's the idea. Buy a Yelp t-shirt or something like that. Or maybe a shirt that says, "I award Michelin stars". Something that shows that you are a food critic.  just go to CustomInk and print this front and center ;) my kind of polo logo Now, no matter what your awesome t-shirt says, you still have to look classy. Maybe you want to Sharpie on a fake Polo logo. Or it may be easier just to wear a sport coat over top. If you walk in there looking like it's the first day of 5th grade, you'll have a tough time selling the role.  Anyways, if any manager or owner gives a single sh*t about their online presence, they will serve you like you are the son of the Prince of Nigeria, you feel me? So sit back, and enjoy your amazing service. If not, then you have a plan B. Wonton always has a plan B. If you get crappy ...

So the U.S. Men's National Soccer Team didn't qualify for the 2018 World Cup. WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK? Even f*cking Panama is in the tournament for goodness sake. Where even is Panama?! F*cking Egypt qualified and all they can do well is build pyramids! The United States has a few stars such as Pulisic and Yedlin but obviously they aren't good enough to carry some MLS fata*sses to the World Cup. Look at Michael Bradley. Does this monk look like someone that you'd be scared of on the soccer pitch? Hell no. He looks like the kid that gets dunked on in PE. More importantly, us not qualifying for the World Cup is kinda like America saying to the world, "hey guys, feel free to dunk on us because we're soft as sh*t." And then some 5'3 Panamanian dude goes on has his nuts on our head. This is an embarrassment. Maybe Trump should delay the construction of his wall a little bit because we need some help from our talented Mexican footballers down sou...

Starbucks is usually open from 5 AM to 9 PM. You can find them anywhere, but no matter what time it is, there are always at least 10 customers inside. It is also statistically proven that at least 80% of the customers inside any given Starbucks location at any given time are white. But here's the thing - their coffee is absolute sh*t. If I had to rate it on a scale from Ford to Ferrari, it would be a f*cking bicycle. You're essentially paying for a green straw and a logo that some 8-year-old kid copied and pasted from a playing card. It's the Chinese knock-off of the Mona Lisa. So $0.10 for the coffee and $2.90 for the branding. Just so your little 8th grade girl friends are impressed with your $5 weekly allowance. Sadly, this isn't even as popular as the Frappucinos. Those taste worse than vanilla ice cream topped with ketchup and sprinkles of dog sh*t. They just toss ice, chocolate, sugar, and piss into a blender and serve that garbage to you for $5. You'...
