The Sizzler

Well anyone who really knows me knows that I really don't like The Sizzler restaurants. I just thought I would throw out there what I think for the rest of the world to see. I would have to say that there is nothing that I like about Sizzler, their steak is not good their salad bar just looks like a germ infestation waiting to happen and the restaurant smells horrible. I guess it has something to do with the fact that I don't like seafood but Sizzler is not just a seafood restaurant, so why does it have a worse smell than say Red Lobster? So all of those things together have just made this place unappealing to me, I have never had a good experience there (and for some reason I can remember times from when I was little and even then I did not like Sizzler). In fact the last time I went to Sizzler (I did not really want to go but went along anyway) it was awful, the smell was there and all of my other gripes were very apparent as well, but this time something happened which made me not want to ever return, they seated us in a booth by the entrance and as people started lining up to get seats the began to accumulate next to our table and that is when a couple (who looked very unkempt) began leaning over our table! The guy had a long scraggly beard which looked as though it was going to touch the plates of food on the table and the lady (as I seem to remember it) was coughing. That was it I don't ever want to go to Sizzler ever again (which my wife laments as she likes their food?) I hope that I don't either and that is what I have to say about that! Out here - Nick

ABC: What's Wrong With You?

I just found out recently that ABC will be cancelling what has become my favorite tv sho: Eli Stone. This really upsets me because it really is a great show. I guess that there just isn't enough sex and or violence involved in the show to make it seem viable for ABC to keep. It is truly the only show on television like it and it draws over 6 million households a week (even in a not so ideal time slot). I hope that some other network at leasts picks it up or that ABC reconsiders and renews it for next year. Otherwise I guess that something uplifting has no place in the sex and violence crazed sitcoms and cop shows that have inundated the airwaves.

Struggling with the Guitar...I better stick with it

I own a guitar and one of my big goals in life is to learn how to play it. I can certainly make some noise but I have yet to (beyond a few random chords) been able to memorize anything or be able to actually put out something which could even roughly be considered music. I really hope I get the hang of this because I really want to be able to play some songs for the girls (and hopefully eventually a boy if not boys). I guess what it is really going to take is some hard work and perseverance. It is amazing to think sometimes about how something so simple as learning an instrument can have a greater and more profound affect on you life and your make up as a person. If I for instance was able to persevere and learn the guitar I could definitely take that new found talent and apply to another area of need in my life. I guess then for my greater good I should definitely stick to the guitar and I am sure that I will be not only blessed with some awesome tunes but maybe even a life that could be considered superior and definitely more fulfilling. I definitely need to apply the perseverance thing in my quest to become a more healthy and fit person, although I am happy to announce that I have lost 35 pounds over the last six weeks of diet and exercise, I do feel a lot better as well. I guess I am rambling on into the night which can definitely mean one thing, I need some sleep, until next time....Nick
