One Chris in Atlanta

I am 33 years old. Live and work in Atlanta, GA. Living in Buckhead and work downtown. Love the outdoors, hate having to work for a living (don't we all?), and enjoy all things free! My favorite phrase is: "Live and let live."

Spice on Juniper in Atlanta and meeting Chef Marvin Woods.

Spice on Juniper in Atlanta and meeting Chef Marvin Woods. Wow! We went to Spice last night for dinner. We had a great time and great food at Spice. http://www.spicerestaurant.com/ Why you ask was it great? The menu is new, as Marvin Woods has taken over the kitchen. You may know of him from Turner South network and his show “Home Plate” http://www.turnersouth.com/network/shows/home-plate/ *** We got to meet him! He came to the table to meet us. He is very nice. He mentioned how he wants to have a few favorites on the menu soon but for now he is mixing it up each day so this is his time to get to know what works for Spice. What worked for us last night was great food. We tried the Monk Fish (Trevor) and I had the Tuna. Both were great but the Monk Fish was terrific according to Trevor. The place takes reservation and the staff was all first class. I am going to be his advocate since I want to see him get on the Food Network! They need more variety in their line up. U know what I mean!

4th of July! My favorite holiday.

Thursday, June 29, 2006

Is the week over yet? It has been nice but just long. I know I have not been keeping up with the BLOG so sorry… Got busy doing things with the homeowners association as I am on the board. So amazing what a task that can be for me. It does keep my mind on constant go… minus the BS and dealing with all the politics of how not to tick off people. So the 4th of July is upon us. My favorite holiday of the year! I am ready for this one as I am off on Monday so it will be a nice long weekend. I want to see the firework but not the crowd … I need a Penthouse. Or maybe I can go to see Brian and go to his roof top pool? That is an idea. Traffic is always so awful after the fireworks since humans are like a heard of cows. Tonight is Willy Wonka at the screen on the green. That will be a blast. I am going for sure. Also Sat. is a free ASO concert at the park. I love going to see them when it is outside. It is so cool… Have a good day!

T.G.I.F.

9:55 AM

Happy Friday!

Wow this week has been maniac.
I am so ready for the weekend. I am so glad I made it this week. I have been at odds in my life struggle. You know … the whole mind, body and soul connection.. Better eating habits, more exercise, and rest and having fun.
Well I am thinking of being a vegan for health reason but I get the whole reason for others on harm to animals but that is not my reasoning. Also on the exercise thing it is hard to stay in the game. I get motivated but then energy to go lack at times. Guess I just have to push myself. Half the time I know I can but I just do not go work out. Well have a good weekend!

Hump Day again ...

10:06 AM

Hump Day again…. The weeks are flying by lately. I am feeling tired today. I need more rest … Going to sleep at night later than 1:30 is not good. I just start watching stuff on the Science channel and can’t stop … last night was about matter and space and physics and all these great ideas of what the universe is made up of … When I watch and listen to this stuff I get so interested. I must start recording this stuff so I can watch it on the weekends. Also I realize I am such a news junkie and this has to end. I am not so far gone that I can’t stop it but we are so surrounded by the news now it is nuts. We have monitors here in the NOC at work on CNN and Fox News. I subscribe to the AJC but I want to end that since I am not reading the paper and they just pile up… Well hope everyone is having a good week. Take care!

Hump Day

11:01 AM

It is hump day for real! I am so ready to go … Why must I work to pay the bills? The people who say if they won the lottery they would still work are not so bright. I have a life but I do not want life to be work. So we all made it … No one is missing? Guess the “Rapture” did not happen? So next is the hate laws being passed to make sure unless you are a man and a women can you be married. FEAR is such a scare tactic. You know if we are all alike then perhaps Hitler does live on in the present. Is this not apart of what his vision was for the world anyway? Well I for one love the many differences of the USA so all hate laws are something else. What is sick is anytime a judge stands against these laws then they are called an “ACTIVIST” judge. Are they just to not judge and be a freaking sleeping person on the bench? I am not sure … Is it time to go home yet?

THE MARK OF THE BEAST … 6/6/6


9:13 AM

THE MARK OF THE BEAST … 6/6/6

Well now all the news of the weird will be all the rage today. http://www.newsoftheweird.com/ Already on this morning’s news is a horrific story of a child of 9 years old killed by an ax to the head. This all happened today and here in beautiful Sandy Springs. The police had to kill the attacker of the child as he was in a rage. http://www.ajc.com/ OK so be on the lookout for the weirdo fame syndrome today. So was the Anti-Christ born today? Was it at 6:06:06 AM or PM? Perhaps so … have a good day!

CROSSWALK ETIQUETTE

9:09 AM

Let me start by saying it has been a busy ass week! Sorry to everyone for not being in the BLOG mood. If you all did not know I take Marta to work by train. I live very close to the station. My boyfriend takes me to the station in the morning by car. He is such a trooper. I walk home at night since he is off after me from work. I am walking home Wednesday night and this moron (a guy might I add) stops right at my legs of which I had to dart out of the crosswalk. I stop and look right at him and scream F*&&^INK MORON …the look on his face was so funny … so he backs his mustang up a little off the crosswalk. Just glad I was not ran over but he got the message. Then yesterday I am walking to lunch and a dude whip out of the parking deck and guns it so I had to walk behind the vehicle so I slap his bumper with my hand. I am so sick of pedestrians being third class … we do not have a 3000-pound missile to helps us! WELL FOLKS USE THE STOP LINE PLEASE! Twice this week people at the crosswalk have almost hit me. Why? Well they are morons; the city needs to enforce the law, the stop line is imaginary, etc. Long story short I feel like I want to walk over the next car that does this to make a point but being dead is not for now so I will just give mean looks. For most of us in Atlanta to walk across a road is a miracle anyway. I figure if I am in the crosswalk then I have half a chance to live another day! THINK ABOUT IT!!! Have a safe and fun weekend.
