I loved writing on the blog for a minute and then I found I was running out of things to say. I feel that MIKE! also had a lot to do with it. He started it and now I feel if does not blog we will never get it back. MIKE! is the true heart of this coffee shop, well that really is not true but don't tell him that.
Well once again I'm questioning what friends really are.
Can I ever find that one guy who does not truly piss me off when he can't shut up.
When will I ever make the dream and end up in Europe.
Could Gary ever get back his light saber.
O, all the questions of the Fixx!
Till next time.

So Spring
-I thought spring was here but yet I am mistaken. Where are the beautiful days where you can wear shorts and a hoodie and be just fine. Is Chicago going to bless us with winter (O, fuck its cold I think my face is going to fall off). Then bless us with a summer where we fill like clothing should not be mandatory in anyway shape or form. I feel that I should always be clothed except during the fucking summers. Why can we not have that nice breeze from the lake but have that nice southern dry heat. O the days I lived in the south I miss it. I'm tired of the fucking cold and snow.

The old lady-
So there is this old lady that comes in almost every fucking day and gets a small coffee and sleeps forever. Now I know the chairs are cosi but seriously. She is super bad shit crazy. I wonder what she does all day, does she work does she go to other places and do this. It would be super awesome if she just bounced all over Chicago just getting small coffees and sleeping, I kind of wish I could do that. She seems like she really is perfectly okay with everyone seeing her sleep with her mouth wide open. Its really great except she kind of scares customers. So anyone that comes in needs not to be scared she is just gettin some ZZZZZZZ!

My Car is a sentient being...
I had to take it in for an emmitions check on Friday. Problem is my "Check Engine" light has been on since 1998. So I take it in to get repaired, tell the guy my "Check Engine" light is on, he looks in on the dash and says "no it's not". I look, and it's off. For the first time in 10 years, it's off. So I take it to the "Clean Air" test facility, they plug their computer into my car computer ( I didn't even know my car had a computer ) and I pass the test. No problems, pass the check. Drive away from the testing place, the engine light goes back on. SPOOOOOOOOKY!!!!!!

Why teachers drink and international escape artists.
It is Laura again. Mike was bugging me about my long blogging absence. So here is a little addition...
Why do kids think begging laced with blatant lies will actually work? Wow! How stupid do they think I am? I think "my dog ate my homework" would be better than the stupid excuses I heard this week. Grades were due today and I have many desperate seniors. Its funny...they weren't desperate when I was hounding them to turn in their damn work! This is why teachers drink!
The thought of running gleefully for the first plane leaving O'hare International keeps skipping through my mind. Of course, with my luck, I would end up on the Yemen airways flight to Mosul where my bus would get pulled over by insurgents who see me as a photogenic hostage who could provide a lovely screaming voice for their next "get the fuck out of my country" video. I suppose I should be somewhat selective as to which plane is best suited for escape. Lets see...
Lot Polish Airlines 002 5:30P 3 Warsaw AT 6:30PM (its running late)
A little too soon. With rush hour traffic, I would never make it. Besides, I don't know Polish - except for some swear words, which may not go over well. Still, it wouldn't be bad. Its cheap. I hear it is pretty. There is a ton of WWII history to lose myself in. Hmmmm
American Airlines 86 5:15P K19 London Heathrow AT 7:00P (another plane running late!)
Now we are talking. No language barrier. I have lived there before so I wouldn't get lost. I could visit some of my other friends who live in England. If the Blue line is on time I just might be able to make it. Good choice!
THEN AGAIN, I would have to get through traffic and security. SOOOO Maybe the first flight I could catch would be around 8:30PM. Let us see where that would take me....
Quantas 3311 8:25P Toronto on time
I LOVE Toronto. If you haven't been, its a great town. I used to drive up there from Cleveland on weekends. Stayed in a neighborhood they called Little Portugal. Wonderful markets. Nice people.
Hey, Quantas is an Australian Airline...maybe I could hide in the bathroom and stow away to Australia and visit Jeremy! I would love to see Sydney again...I even have friends there. Not a bad plan....except for stowing away in the bathroom may look suspicious. I might get arrested for being a suspected terrorist and subject to extraordinary rendition where I would be interrogated in some foreign country where torture is legal and my family and lawyer type friends can't find me until ten years later when my civil rights lawyer friend Jen finally gets the case of Hartel v. Bush to the United States Supreme court where she claim my 14th Amendment right to due process was violated.
At least there wasn't a flight to Mosul - my fears were all unfounded.

Yes, I have likewise butchered the standard grammar of the English language. One needs a little Joycean stream of consciousness moment in their rants now and then.

Carol Wilder
I remember chasing daddy long legs around there porch in Dallas. Thats all I can really remember right now. So I'm sitting here at work and decided to google Larry Enge and Carol Wilder. Larry was my dads partner in the restoration business they had in Dallas. They were artist that I have always looked up to. Just wanted to see what they have been working on as of late.
Carol was the first white women to be inducted into the African-American Art Gallery in Dallas, she was an amazing artist. She did collaborations with her husband Larry. I remember it was an crazy thing for them because of there B/W marriage. In Texas its not very common.
Well in my finding I ran across this great website of her memory. She died in a car accident (I didn't know that). Anyone who reads this look her up her art was amazing and she was the first person besides my dad to introduce me to art. Every time I got to go in her art tree house it opened my eyes to a world as a child just looked cool but as an adult is a gate way to another world. She was an amazing woman and amazing artist.

So MIKE! was back
for a minute. I do want to tell of someone else who is comes back Beau. I'm so excited he will be back from Iraq in a month. Not going to see him a lot but he will be back in the states and thats all I really care about. Now if only Jeremy would come back! I miss him, but I think the longer he is gone the better his head might be. Its amazing how much you love someone, somewhere, or something the longer you are apart. It is the little things you find you can not live without. Well thats all I got for now maybe more later.
Keiko
O, And MIKE! you need to blog, we all miss you!

I'm Back Motherfuckers!!!!
- The dishes have been done bitches! Well, so to speak. Anyway, here's what's been going on lately:
We got Fixx Mocha at the Fixx Coffee Bar and I drank the shit out of it and now I'm fucking wired and Kiiko!!! I mean, Keiko is boy crazy!!!!!! She has a phantom boner for some guy who will go unnamed. Ironically enough (or maybe not, I'm not Woody Allen) I was going through a phantom pregnancy about 6 months ago, but after a couple months the symptoms stopped and I no longer craved Rocky Road Ice Cream Potatoes. I think I misscarried. Very Sad. But don't cry for me (&) Argentina! (No, not the country, the name of my phantom baby).
Also!: Spring Training has begun! Go Giants!! We know they don't have a chance in the regular season so maybe they can dominate the Cactus League. Also also: I saw Juno last night and it was cute. I was very moved. Now I want to make lots of babies and hand them out to people without babies. Baby Maker Minnick 2000.
Comics have been going well. I have stayed on top of my reading. I never waver when it comes to reading comics. I never waver when I't comes to taking baths either. Or waving now that I think about it, because there is no one to wave to. It's only me and my bath tub, and I guess the sink, but waving to either object would just be pathetic, because they are inanimate.
It's worth noting that when I'm at the urination station I try not to look at my junk when I pee because it's kinda weird looking. not weird looking for a penis. Just weird looking because it is a penis.
(parentheses are cool.)

Fucking Wolf Camera and all the Bullshit that comes with it!
So today was actually a good day. I came in and realized that 2 of my machines were out on the sales floor. My Yes Dvd machine and the Epson. Its not really a good idea I thought at first, but its growing on me. Okay so let me start from new. We have a new district manager (DM) and he comes in and cleans up shit holes. At least that is what I have heard and to be honest our store really does look like shit. So my manager is kind of freaking out because everything is being changed, but I kind of like it. Gives everyone something to do and it gives us something different to look at. For once I feel that there is somebody in this fucking hell hole that might actually do his job. I mean don't get me wrong I love my job and I love my machines even more when they break. The thing is I am really tired of people in corp blowing smoke up my ass. For once I feel someone might tell the truth. So I don't know we will see.
Okay thats it thats all I have today.
I miss Jeremy!
I miss MIKES! blogs!
Keiko

First Blog By Heather
I'm not working today, but I came into say hello to Gary and thought I would write a little something for the three people who actually read this silly coffee blog. Okay, so... today is a good day because I woke up 25 minutes before I had to be downtown, which take usually about 40 minutes to get there, but hell, I still went. It was good because I was drunk last night and fell asleep in my clothes from last night. This was good because all I had to do was put shoes on, a hat, and walk out the door. I left without my glasses so I got down the stairs and had to run back up to get them. I did that with my wallet and my camera too. That was three trips on the damn stairs. it was a great workout to start out this beautiful day. Then I stepped in a puddle and the water soaked through my boots, but it was fantastic cause at least my feet weren't hot! I had to go to the Cultural Center, and on my way up the steps I slipped and fell in a puddle and got my shirt all wet. But it was good, because before, I had this weird stain on my shirt and now you can't see it because there is a lot of weird dirty water on it. And, the shirt was black, so after the weird dirty water dried, you couldn't see the water or the stain!!! Now I'm at fixx, and my day is great cause I have a warm cup of coffee and good conversation.
I'm trying out this new optimism thing, and I think it's working out fairly well. Don't you think?
Hey Keiko.... you are my sister's hero. Thanks for the CD's. She's making you a thank you drawing, you're gonna love it!

Okay fine!
So MIKE! told me I should do open mic but I don't like the stage. So this is what I wrote last night, and I don't really have anything else to say. Besides I miss Jeremy! Also MIKE! needs to start blogging again!
Twisted but yet so perfectly placed
The words flow like it was almost natural
Yet when spoken still so confusing
So exact with what is to be said though
Placing every word so close it has to be personal
Truly what has effected you to cause all this
It makes me fell so close
well only when you stop for a second
How is it so simple for you
Every moment is priceless but yet replaceable
Can it really be that easy
Believing loneliness is the answer
When will it be simple
Can it ever be simple
When will it ever be enough
Can it ever be enough
A perfect puzzle never to be solved
If only we could stop for a moment and reflect on what is to come.
Okay so say what you will! Blah Blah thats that mattress man!

Doing Dishes, Taking Baths.
- This woman won't stop man handling me!!!
however..... he LOVES being manhandled, and that's why I do it.
So. If he would stop reading so many comic books, it might not be such a big deal.
but, we love you anyway.!!!

Fucking Modern Life Is War! WHY!!
So I came in today with a lot of sleep and ready to go what do I do I get on the fucking computer, bad choice. A band that I have loved for many years now is announcing that they will be having there last tour ever. It sucks, its starting to make me think what is wrong with bands hardcore punk whatever that stay together long enough to make a difference and then disappear. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against OLD U2 War and Zooropa were great albums but can't they just stop already. I don't really know what I'm trying to say I think my brain is working faster then my hands. I'm just trying to figure out what goes though the minds of these kids compared to when all the U2 guys were kids. Is there really a difference? Or is it just the bands now see that they don't want to be washed up Rolling Stones they want to keep shit together while its good.
Thinking about it Jeremy is going to miss it. Which is a bummer I would not have started listening to them if it was not for him. He just had to fucking go to New Zealand. You know I have to say it I have done nothing but support him, but I fucking miss the guy. So if you read this fuck you I miss you and love you. Okay MIKE! is coming in soon so I need to clean. Blah Blah I hope he bring me food maybe I should call him, he won't answer.

Feed that MOTHER FUCKING Beast!!
So Sat. I went to this pizza place that claimed they had St. Louis style pizza, provel cheese and all. So yeah Gabe, Skim, and I went. The service was super shitty, but it was true they had provel cheese. If the fucking waitress would not have messed up my order I would have been able to take full advantage of that pleasure. I miss St Louis for two things my few friends and family I have there and the fucking provel cheese. I want to know where they got it. I might just have to go and see about a job, even if its only one day a week. So I can get there secrets and get out of there. I miss working in a pizza place, even though I worked to much got treated like shit and gained a lot of weight cause I was always eating something. I miss it. Tracy, Cherlyn, Conan, the Russians all of them well not all of them.
-On another note and a very familiar note I thought I was done listening to the Gallows, but I'm not.
-I still really fucking miss Jeremy!!
Thats about all I got so far maybe something else will come up.

PUMPING IRON - MORE GOATS MILK - WHATEVER
- This morning I woke up early and hit the gym to pump some iron. I was INTENSE!!!! But now my body is sore and it's kinda hard to lift my arms up to steam the milk. 20lbs is heavier than I thought I guess. Speaking of milk...
- There is not a Fixx Coffee consensus on the goat's milk. It's GROSS!! That sour-ass tasting shit is better left in the goat! It's not fit for human consumption!
- Side Note: My mom thought I was gay when I was growing up. But I'm not. BOOBS ARE AWESOME.
- Other Side Note: Reverse junk is awesome too. Not awesome like Spider-man, but awesome like kissing-out to the 10th power.
- Gary let me borrow the movie Brick tonight. This is good news because I really wanted to see this movie. It will fit in nicely as a breather between The Wire: seasons 3 and 4. Thanks Gary!
- Deer Tick doesn't get old.
- Doing dishes does get old though.
- I'm currently reading Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. It makes me want to be a better man. It makes me want to scalp a motherfucker too.
- This dude came in and told me that I make the best mochas. That's right Keiko and Gary!!!!
- I'm Out!
MIKE!

Goats milk: PART 2
The stuff blew me away. Good, plain and simple. For those of you at home, i used 1% goats milk, not the full fat kind. No idea what that tastes like, could be gross, just my disclaimer. Fish tank update!!!! Bought 5 X-ray tetras (cool see-through fish), one crayfish, one red tailed shark. This morning i've got no tetras (the dinosaur eel has a HUGE belly and a guilty look in his eyes), the crayfish is mia, and my red tailed shark is almost a no-tailed shark. YOUR A SHARK DAMMIT!!! SUCK IT UP MAN!!!! GO JAWS ON THESE B@STDARDS!!!. On a sad note, i burned the shit out of my hand. Spilled tea all over it, burns like hell, looks red as hell. If i drink enough beer tonite i shouldn't feel it too much. Late.

Goats milk is so Fucking good!
So I just tried to start my post for the day and it freaked out on me and just put up the words goats like 5 times. Anyways so Gary bought goats milk because we have people come in all the time asking for it. I mean I know that Gary makes really good fucking latte's but seriously. So I had this group of guys come in like 6 of them, everyone got a drink and a sandwich. Awesome for the shop so excited but not a single one of them fucking tipped me. What am I here for you to stare at which one did the whole time he was here. I mean am I really that funny looking? I'm not a fucking performing monkey. So piss on them and I was really nice to. So I'm getting the cds together to send to Jeremy hope he is happy, and the lens should be in my hands soon. I miss him! The funny thing is ever since I moved out I really didn't see him that much, but now that I know I can't just call him and see what he is doing. Or make plans that we always cancel on each other its weird. I miss him. At least I have the Gallows cd to listen to, Ha Ha. So my friend Will is coming in town. I'm more excited then what I really expected myself to be. Its weird we fought all the time when I worked with him at Wolf. Okay thats all that I really have to say.
I miss Jeremy!!!!!!
Everyone should listen to the Gallows cd!!!!!!!
The new This Is Hell cd comes out in a few days, super excited!!!!!!!
And thats it

So as I'm going about my day today, I have yet to wish the big V day to anyone. Is that bad or is it just the fact that I think the is the worst holiday ever. Now tomorrow will be the best day ever, cause that is when all that chocolate goes on sale. I Don't really have much to say about today, its been like every other day.
So MIKE! just wanted to know who does not know that you love to take baths. Its like number one thing except comics I would dare to say there are about equal. Do you ever read comics in the bath though?
Just thought maybe some of our one maybe two readers out there would like to know.
So I heard from Jer today I have some work a head of me. He needs music, it ranges from 20 to 40 dollars for a cd over in New Zealand. This is Hell is coming out with a new cd I'm going to send that to him along with my new favorite Gallows.
So here is the list so far:
Face to Face-self title and Don't Turn Away
Bane-Any
Converge-Petitioning the Empty Sky
Modern Life is War-Any
Hot Water Music-Fuel for the hate game
Mastodon-Leviathan and Blood Mountain
Becoming the Archetype-Physics of Fire
Calibretto-Danger Brigade
This is Hell
Clutch-Self and Beale Street
ISIS-Panopticon

COMIC WEDNESDAY!
Puny Mike hates noncomic days! Here is what I picked up this week:
- Fantastic Four (Millar and Hitch!), Ghost Rider and Wolverine (Jason Aaron!), Sword, New Avengers, Punisher War Journal, Punisher Max One Shot by crime writer Duane Swierczynski, Captain Marvel, X-Force, Green Arrow and Black Canary, and Amazing Spider-Man.
A pretty good week with a lot of first issues and beginning arcs with new creative teams.
- So Gary (a.k.a. Foggy Nelson Hartel) and I purchased two DVDs yesterday: the 1994 Fantastic Four (total budget of $2 million!) and the 1991 Captain America films. The DVDs we passed on getting were Turkish Spider-Man The Rapist, JLA, 1979 Motorcycle Captain America, and Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. (starring David, german-singing-sensation, Hasselhoff). We will provide full reviews of the two films once we have received them in the mail and watched them.
- Laura knows a lot about our country's whole political system stuff. It's pretty impressive. But can she break down the Super Human Registration Act? I don't think so. Leave that shit to me you post Civil War reading Marvellites.
- Did you people know that I love taking baths? Well, now you do.
- The last time I was unmanned was when Captain America died. I wept like a child. It's cool I can admit it; I'm not ashamed. (thanks dave.)
- Vonnegut said "semicolons are for pussies." but I'm a pussy, so there.
- When the FUCK (missed that word huh?) is Uncle Gary going to get his vintage Indians cap? You need to get on it my brother; Spring Training is right around the corner.
- That's right. I'm still a pussy.
- Okay, over and out.
- MIKE SMASH!!!!

The slowest day of the fucking week!
I just don't understand this. Wednesdays are so fucking slow in the morning, I sit here with maybe one or two people. Then around 12 on its like a cluster fuck of non-sense. So I miss Jeremy, but I talked to his brother the other day and he might come to Chicago. He is my favorite Miller I do believe. I have yet to see him since the summer when the whole Miller crew was here. I want to go to OK to see his parents. Truly I want to go to London to see the Gallows! Thats what I really want to do. My chest is healing up good hopefully in a couple of weeks we do the shading. O, I'm so fucking bored and I have nothing to write about. Blah! So one of our regulars is reading our blogs which is super rad. So HI! Still listing to the Gallows cd, except for when I'm working at either job. I don't think the people I work with really like it, sometimes I play it anyways. They don't like it. Anyways did I mention I miss Jeremy!! Okay I'm done maybe more later. O fuck all I'll be to busy, the cluster fuck will come in.

Turkish Spider-man is an Asshole!
- What the fuck is up with Turkish Spider-man!? It wasn't weird enough that the Turks made Spidey a villain, but they go even further and make him a rapist too. That's right Turkish Spider-man is a villainous monster that loves to rape innocent women! This film also has the worst torture scene ever. Czech this shit out!: A man has his eyes eaten out of his face by a hamster. What's wrong with this? Well, first off hamsters are friendly-ass beasts. Secondly, they aren't human eyeball eating carnivores, they're cutely adorable pets. It's ridiculous!
You don't believe me do you? Well, here's the link. See for yourself:
-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LaXMFAKnBA&eurl=http://www.antimattermultiverse.com/products/3-dev-adam-dvd
Oh shit, and I totally forgot about Turkish Champion Wrestler Santos and Captain Fucking America himself. What the fuck!!?
- I have more to write, but I don't have enough time. There are dishes to be done! I'll write more tomorrow about my new comics and the AWESOME videos Gary and I are going to buy. Peace out bitches!
And one more for good measure: FUCK!
MIKE!!

Imagine...
There is this Ani DiFranco song playing in my head today. One line keeps replaying as I look at the fat snow flakes floating about..."imagine that you are the weather, in the tiny snow globe of this song, and I am the Statue of Liberty, one inch tall" It could mean a million things from a number of perspectives. Today, I feel like each little neighborhood in Chicago is its own little snow globe - we exist in our little space here in our neighborhoods, hemmed in by seeming impenetrable walls that we can't see, the boundaries of which are obscured and drawn in as the cold, white flakes of snow surround us. And here I am, rooted here in my winter hibernation. I leave not the confines of my 4-5 block radius unless the need of a paycheck draws me away. Come spring and summer, my urban claustrophobia will kick in, making me crawl the walls and seek to pass through boundaries and discover yet again why I chose to live here. Until then...I wait and imagine.

Method Man what the fuck MIKE!
So I decided to find out what this Wire show that MIKE! has been talking about is. What do I find but the man of my dreams Method Man, what the fuck MIKE! You need to tell me these things! So I'm at work and there is this family that comes in all the time and the little kid is up on the stage singing and dancing. He needs to come to open mic night. So I have yet to stop listing to the Gallows album and now they have there new poster for there UK tour and I want it. Super rad . I also had probably the strangest customers tonight then I ever have before. Okay see ya in a couple of days!

Tank Of Death!!!
I had purchased an albino african clawed frog for the back fish tank. Did some research. These guys are supposed to be the rambo of the frog world. Completely resistant to disease, can eat anything, even dead things, secretes an oil that makes them taste bad. These things are so evil they are banned in some states because they kill everything in the water. Put him in the back tank, the nice tank, the peaceful tank with all the small fish. He was dead in 20 minutes. Fish are supposed to be peaceful, supposed to create a calming effect. But every time I try to introduce a new fish or creature to the tanks they turn into a hybrid of Wrestlemania meets Michael Vick's back yard. They aren't gonna stop until there's one fish left!!!!

NOT AS EXCITING BUT ITS IN CAPS ANYWAYS!
So I didn't get up at 2:35 p.m. I had a tattoo appointment today. That is all I did today it was super fucking rad.
Still listening to the Gallows cd I just can't stop the only thing I think I have listen to is ISIS to fall asleep, which I did. I really want to go to London to go see them and then come home. Nothing else!
I'm so hungry Mike and I just ordered a pizza, I hope it gets here soon.
He is talking to Sia and some cute girls, I think he likes one of them.
Okay I'm done, I'll be back tomorrow!
Keiko Lin
SUNDAY!
- So I haven't been the only one to work here in the last two days, but I seem to be the only one who has posted. Where you at Uncle Gary?
- Mike!
- Oh, I think I remember where you were Gary. It's been fucking busy. We're nonstop coffee-making motherfuckers!!
- It's worth noting that I didn't wake up until 2:35 p.m. today. I have become completely nocturnal. Or Nocturinal. That's a John (or jon) that is only urinated in when the sun is down and the moon is high. That's right.
- The Wire is still a good show. It might be the reason why I woke up late today. I stayed up til around 5-6 dusting off the 1st season. Season Two gets gotten watched starting tonight, you dig?
- I broke my rule and drank some Fixx Mocha! I'm so fucking wired I could wrestle an ox. YEARGH!!!!!!!!!
- Mike!

When in Prague...
I hope Laura stays with my Gypsy of a Grandmother. I also hope she brings me back a goat.
- The Wire is a good show that I can't stop watching. I'm hooked. and that means that tonight after work I will go home and watch it until the sun comes up. That also means that I can drink as much Fixx Mocha as I want because I'm not going to sleep motherfuckers!
- My back hurts from playing too much Rock Band!!!!! I need a throne!!
- It is now around 9:30 and I'm crashing hard from too much Fixx Mocha. I might have drank too much too soon. I hope I still can make it through at least an episode or two of The Wire. Shit is getting intense!!!

Okay so I'm so not trying to make a joke-
What do you do when all you can think is to curl up and die. Sorry MIKE! but its so fitting for the mood I'm in right now. Okay so its a little funny. But no seriously the total disappointment I feel at this time can not be described in this blog. I hate the way I feel right now and why I feel this way. I can not believe I have allowed myself to fall so far from what I know. I feel that I am no longer a captain but yet a cabin boy on my own ship. Sorry to who ever reads this it sucks but its all I can truly do at this time. O well tomorrow will be better, I know it. I will make myself better and go on from this depressing state of mind. I will allow myself to take in all that is good in everything that is around me. Along with the amazing people I have chosen to spend my days with, well at least the only people who really read this. I truly want you to all know how much you mean to me, no matter how many papers I grade or chocolate bars I have to buy or how many comic books I look at. Can that get the point across or do I have to say more? Is it to uncomfortable? Is it something that should not be said? I don't know what else I can do. I miss Jeremy and I'm going crazy. I'm done!

Just one more thing,
MIKE! what is your secret to The Fixx Mocha. It pisses me off that your batches are better then mine.
KEIKO LIN
WHY O WHY WOULD YOU FUCKING SAY THAT!
So someone told me something today I really didn't want or need to hear. So with that said back to the real stuff. So I went against all that I believe in and bought a cd at Best Buy today. The new Gallows album it is super fucking good. When I read a review and it was compared to the album Shape of Punk to Come by Refused, I didn't really believe it. They are not Refused but yet have the album definitely gives you that kick, that Refused always gave me. I'm still waiting for the show that I went saw to wear off. So thats that mattress man. TILL THE NEXT TIME WE MEET!

Writing nightmare.
The usual suspects are here again, huddling inside to avoid trudging through the lead-heavy snow. Sleeping on the cushy red couch is sounding like an attractive option. Mike has been pushing for a post, so here it is. I am joyfully avoiding the grading some lovely research papers. Hence, I have nothing witty to say... only a warning to give. I fear for the rapid decline in the use of the English language. PLEASE save me from the nightmare of subject-verb conflicts and dangling participles in a landscape of fragmented sentences and an atmosphere devoid of logic! Mind you, my writing is not beyond reproach, but come on now!
Laura
COMIC DAY MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!
- That's right bitches!! Here is what I got today:
Amazing Spider-Man #549, The Twelve #2, The Boys #15, Uncanny X-Men #495, Detective Comics #841, Scalped #14, and Scalped: Casino Boogie tpb!!!!!
- Favorite dirty word of the day is Cock Smear! GROSS!!!
- Laura is up now. More posts later!!!
MIKE! Your wrong-
Okay so other people post, we just started this thing. So I went home last night and watched The Legend Of the Eight Samurai. It was just as amazing as when I watch it when I was 10 years of age. Yet again I will be back.
Ogenki desu!

I love Cate Blanchett, but....
Elizabeth:theGoldenAge really sucked. I really wanted to like it, but it seemed like they had to stretch the story to fill in the 2 hours. BORING!!! Don't waste yer time. I did find out about a cool old Sean Connery film called ZARDOZ. Looks cool, post-apocalyptic, but for some reason Sean Connery wears a red diaper in the film. Still gonna give it a shot. More later......

- My name isn't HEY BARISTA! It's Mike.
- It's lonely on this blog. No one posts but me. I might have to change the name of the blog from "the Fixx Coffee blog" to "Mike at the Fixx blog."
- I'm not sure if the men's bathroom door locks every time because I locked it and yet someone was still able to walk in on me urinating with my dude in one hand while the other hand was trying to push the door closed. That shit was embarrassing. I guess it could have been worse though. Mid-wipe #2 anyone?
- Every Tuesday is a Super Tuesday because Tuesday is the day before Wednesday and Wednesday is Comic Day! Whew.
I'm retarded!
So this is my post a day late. I didn't know the password. AAHH so I was going to talk about these two girls that came in bought two cookies and stay here online forever. It lost all amusement now. Thanks MIKE!

Inaugural Post!
What makes Heather blog worthy and her co-workers not! That's right! Introducing: The Fixx Coffee Crew daily blog!!!
The idea: Everyone that works at The Fixx must make at least one post during their shift. The post can be about anything work related or non-work related, just so long as you post.
Okay, so my first post...
- I'm very tired.
- Brazilian speed tea is awesome, but did not fare well in it's fight against my tiredness.
- Laura just said "Holy Dishes Batman" and sadly, she is right.
- It started snowing outside so it's a good thing I brought Peter Parka with me to work today.
- I think that's all. Okay.
Mike
