Just left work like 10 minutes ago.. grabbed an Uber cause fuck taking the train.. mainly got an Uber because my manager approved my shift pick up at the very last second so I'll be bartending all day long tomorrow, 1130am-1230am.. wish me luck on sleep tonight guise.. #TeamSleepProblems

appreciate it @T4M* i know i was gonna upload the mp3 version of that last night but i got hella tired after work.. woke up this morning and went through some other beats ive been fucking with and had this one i recently did.. some video i found of Mansur Brown playing his guitar in his backyard or something.. sounded cool so i figured let me try something out with it.. its very rough draft type shit in its early stages.. i feel like the sample is too sharp or high in certain parts because of the trippy ambient sounds he was using on his pedals so i might mess with that a bit, change the kicks up here and there, add some other type of percussion maybe to switch it up a bit.. thoughts..? ill try and upload others soon..

I drink a decent amount of coffee, probably too much on some days.. ever since I bought myself a moka pot years ago it's been a game changer all I drink is cafe bustelo.. nothing fancy I can't do any latte art or any of that bullshit.. I just heat up some milk in the microwave, pour the espresso over, add some sugar, for a lil extra flavor sometimes I'll get the sugar free powdered creamer but the vanilla caramel flavor and add just a little bit in there and voilà.. good ol cup of bean juice... And of course gotta have my favorite mug..

@LUGR really..?? Thats weird it still plays for me.. uggghhh stoopid technology 🤦🏽‍♂️ I'll try and just save a portion of the audio later tonight and try posting that instead 🤷🏽‍♂️

Need to start getting on my shit more and contributing to this thread.. since things have been complicated in life recently it's hard for me to sit and focus on things but the past couple of days I've been getting back into the swing of things.. here's something I posted on IG a little while ago of something I'm working on.. rough draft in the video but in FL I redid the bass line, added cleaner high hats and kicks, just gotta clean it up and lay it all out.. sample is sped way the fuck up and pitched up a little bit as well.. There's some others I've been fucking with lately I'll try and post after work when I get a chance to see what yall think.. lv_0_20240418113618.mp4

First one of the morning while making coffee..

https://www.kantoaudio.com/powered-speakers/tuk/ Those are the speakers I have on my desk.. pretty pricey but I got them on sale during covid and I'm super happy I got em.. super loud and full off bass surprisingly these things go low af I love them..

If it's not from my phone it's from here.. wish I was flexing out here like big papa mercer tho..

I have absolutely no idea why this was in my head this morning....

@One Man Banned Malort is definitely a Chicago thing.. not sure if you'll ever see it anywhere else but if you do, you were warned.. Also did a quick Google search out of curiosity and some nerd in new York made a Chicago Dog cocktail.. infused rye whiskey with cooked dogs and all the condiments but with liquid nitrogen and other goofy science shit and used the infused booze to make a whiskey sour.. makes sense.. but ain't nobody got time for that.. fuck around and just let the bottle sit in the freezer for a couple days and strain that bad boy through a strainer and cheese cloth a couple times.. leave that molecular gastronomy bull for the Michelin nerds.. https://www.bonappetit.com/story/chicago-hot-dog-infused-whiskey-cocktail Might have to fuck around and find out

Also I was deadass at work thinking what would make a Chicago Dog cocktail.. it probably won't be good, but it'd be a thing.. genuinely thinking like what would be the base spirit? Would I infuse the dogs with the booze or pour the hot dog water separately? Up or on the rocks? Pickle spear and sport pepper covered in celery salt would have to be the garnish.. Might have to r&d this for the oontz as disgusting as it may be

If you ever get a chance to drink it by itself give it a try.. it's a nice siping type of booze very floral, herbal, silky on the pallet and just all around awesome.. Now a Chicago handshake on the other hand is the exact opposite lol a handshake is a shot of Malört and can/glass of Oldstyle.. classic beer and shot combo but Malört is just god awful.. it's mainly made with wormwood but not the same as absinthe but it's just.. wild to even explain.. I've had guests and friends alike describe it in very imaginative ways.. I've gotten forest floor, tire fire, sweaty gym sock, roadkill, all sorts of vivid things.. but surprisingly enough some people do like it especially if you enjoy bitter drinks.. There's this guy that comes in regularly he runs a prohibition tour and comes in with a handful or big ass group of people it varies day by day.. I was taking care of him one day with like 7 other people and walking by I hear one of the ladies say "yaknow, I do like bitter cocktails a bit more I do love a nice negroni" so I slide back and ask if she does indeed like bitter drinks then look at buddy and go "you know where I'm going with this.. so miss, have you ever heard of Malört before? Immediately he yells "oh god..... 🤦🏽‍♂️ *sigh* alright let's get a round going.." and believe it or not she actually loved it while everyone else absolutely hated it..

@One Man Banned yeah see tequila and mezcal get me in trouble.. (reference to my last tequila endeavor on here) but in short, I guess you can say controlled amounts I can do a couple mezcal/tequila drinks.. But ahhh I got you.. well I'm an old fashioned kind of guy so my go to usually is a Buffalo trace old fashioned.. just super smooth overall either that or wathens barrel proof bourbon equally as good.. but other than that I'm a HUGE green chartreuse fan so sometimes if someone wants something random I'll give them a Last Word.. it's smooth, it's floral, it's different cause not alot of people know or even heard or chartreuse.. pretty cool to show someone something new and interesting like that.. but typically I'll ask the person what's your poison and go from there but if they're willing to try anything I'll give em that.. BUT, I will say, if someone is from out of town and asks what's local or what's a "Chicago drink" or whatever I will always give them a Chicago handshake and wait to see the hate in their face after taking the shot of malort..

@One Man Banned I myself don't have my own signature drink just yet.. they play alot of favoritism at my job unfortunately so while I bartended our entire busy season i watched them hire dumbasses around me so they just schedule me whenever they need someone, ie today, so i dont really get opprotunitues like others.. but I did help a friend figure out her charity cocktail for the month.. pretty simple just mezcal, yuzu curacao, lime juice, ginger shrub and ginger beer.. Basically a mezcal mule if you really think about it.. Tbh alot of people just left or got let go recently.. like ALOT... our beverage director just left also so we're still going through our specialty cocktails from the holiday season until these fuckin dorks figure out what we're gonna do for spring/summer season 🤷🏽‍♂️

Can't wait for those stickers to drop 🔥

So I think a while ago I was talking somewhere on here about Journaling and starting to nerd out on fountain pens and what not.. got me a traveler's notebook and absolutely loved it so much I got the pocket size one as well for all my cocktail recipes and what not.. first pen I got was a Lamy Safari and I love it as well.. just switched the nib to their "cursive nib" which is pretty cool I guess just hella expensive for a nib.. I also bought a kaweco sport because of how tiny and portable it is compared to the lamy.. To be honest I'm disappointed with the kaweco but I feel like it could be user error.. it's a fine nib but when I write it comes out scratchy and the lines aren't consistent as if the ink level is low even tho I've filled it up.. was thinking like meh fuck it maybe I'll get a medium size nib to swap out maybe that will help, then I seen they just came out with a piston version of the sport (you can twist the built in lil plunger thingy to fill the entire body with ink rather than using cartridges). Pretty fuckin cool since it's a tiny pen already and now you can get more ink out of it.. hell yeah right..? $165..... One hundred and sixty five dollars... just for the pen... FUCK outta here... 😒🙄

@LUGR pretty much the same for me out by my families crib in the burbs.. one mall is always packed while the other is damn near empty and on the verge of closing.. it's weird tho because like one big part of it like where sears or whatever huge department store used to be at is some store called woodman's or something.. fuckin HUGE along with an equally huge liquor store.. over by me though there's two malls out on the Southside where I'm at and same thing, one is dying rapidly while the other still has pretty steady business.. 🤷🏽‍♂️ @NightmareOnElmStreet strep throat fuckin sucks dude.. everything sucks and you can't do anything but be miserable till the meds kick it.. get well soon 🙏🏼

Couple recent songs I just added to my liked list today.. sometimes Spotify does its job right..

Lunch with my sister at some random burger spot we googled since the Vietnamese coffee joint we were originally gonna go to was closed today.. These fries with the garlic aioli are fire..

Then and now... Totally forgot about my lil kief jar untill I opened the bottom of my grinder today and seen it was stuffed to the brim.. definitely gonna try making that hash one of these days when I get the time to..

Doing my best as well to keep in a positive mindset.. these past two days have been difficult though.. the whole separation from the girl I was recently talking to sucks but it is what it is at this point so whatever.. but the loss of my friend hurts alot deeper than I thought it would and the only person I'd actually wanna talk to or even be around is them but I can't bother them so I just say fuck it and keep it moving.. But the past two days the room mate has been purposely stirring up shit just to get a rise out of me during the middle of me grieving.. I've been in tears on and off this entire week over my buddies passing yet she feels the need to jump to accusations about who I'm gonna be with Saturday during the service.. just cause.. then the other day told me she text my ex from 5 years ago to ask if we were still talking.. just cause.. so because I'm upset at her for starting shit and don't wanna talk to her right now since im still grieving, now I gotta move out because her feelings are hurt over something she created yet I'm still apparently the one in the wrong.. Doing my best to stay positive but it's just like everything around me is super negative at this point.. I can barely sleep 4 hours a night if im lucky, no appetite, just surviving off weed water and coffee.. at the same time I'm relieved in a sense to know I have a chance regain my peace and solitude by leaving albeit being so abrupt and sudden at the worst possible timing ever all because of their hurt feelings... Shit sucks right now... but at the same time I know I'll be ok.. things will work themselves out as they should.. just gotta keep pushing forward and keep doing me.. trying to keep that positive mindset were talking about here.. wish me luck on the apartment hunting 🤞🏼

Or even one man one jar if you're really looking to ruin someone's day..

This... With this.. One filet per pack of noodles tho.. sent these to my sons mother when we were talking for a while she was wondering why my hungry ass was chewing so loudly..

Technically yeah but the difference is the gender.. if I'm correct it's a Gooch for men and the space between the vag and butthole is a taint... Taint sounds kinda cuter for women if you think about it.. Gooch just sounds awful no matter how you try and say it or spin it..

I could've sworn the space between the ass and balls was called a gooch...?? But then again Chad seems pretty fitting as well I guess..
