Pasta Lorenzo

2008-09-20T22:02:00.000-07:00

I like food, so I really don't like to write blogs about it. But I'm making an exception in this case.

Friday night we went to Pasta Lorenzo in Uniontown. The building itself is nice, though inside the tables are kinda close and not that big so there isn't alot of room at your table. We got a table and 2 menus (for 4 people). After about 10 minutes the lady finally came over to take our drink order and we say we know what we want can we order our food now, she said no, just drinks. About 10 or 15 minutes later she brings the drinks back, which she screwed up, and takes our order. If you have 4 people at your table and order one appetizer off the menu, shouldn't the waitress tell you that it only comes in a serving of 3 so that you can order something else? Not this one! Anyway, she brings out the salads since we all order either chicken or eggplant parmigiana. One of the salads has a hair wrapped around the vegetables, needless to say that salad didnt get eaten and since the food didnt come out yet, it wasn't going back. When the food finally arrived, later on, it wasn't that good. The chicken tasted burnt to me. Not sure about the others. The only good part was the bread if you got the little rectangular pieces. Unfortunately it was mixed in with sliced italian bread. And they didnt taste the same.

Needless to say, I am not going back there. Personally I think the service sucks and the food could be better.

Thats my opinion though, so don't run with it or you might trip.

Politics

2008-09-01T23:10:00.000-07:00

Ok I'm really not that political, hell this is the first year I've ever even voted. My personal preference for the White House, was Hillary Clinton. I really liked what Bill Clinton was able to do while he was in Office and figured that his wife could do the same. I was never totally against Obama, just don't like his middle name - "Hussein". We just got rid of one Hussein, so what's the point in putting another one in office. I received a phone call from the Republican Party not long after the election ended a couple months ago and they asked if I had to vote that day, who would I vote for? I came out and bluntly told them I'd do a write-in for Clinton and the guy didnt know what to say. But I think I've made up my mind about who I'm going to vote for in this coming election.

I'm not basing my decision on age, race, or religion, fact or fiction. Hell I'm not basing my decision on anything.

Oh yeah just another thing I should mention, I'm not a "green" person. I really could care less about the O-Zone. The only thing that I do to help is buy those long lasting light bulbs and thats only because they are supposed to save you money.

The commercials are childish from McCain and both are basically repeating the same things, mainly about energy and global warming.

I don't know nor do I care who their choices for running mates are. I've noticed that Obama chose a white guy and McCain chose a woman. A big Woo hoo there.

I did see this recently. Sarah Palin, Sen. John McCain's chosen running mate, announces that her unmarried 17-year-old daughter is pregnant. And all I have to say is who cares? Not that she is pregnant, I say congrats on that. I say who cares to the fact that she is 17 years old and unmarried. There are a lot of young girls that are pregnant and most of them are younger than 17 years old and not married. Why make a big deal about it and broadcast it over the news. Maybe I missed something or maybe I just don't care.

The Republicans fucked everything up for the past 8 years (War, inflation, gas, alcohol, hurricanes, illness, terrorism, piracy, everything.) Even if the Republicans didn't cause it I still blame them and not just the president I am blaming the whole damn Republican Party. Those money spending, greedy bastards. Yeah I seen on the news McCain asked you not to have any parties until after Hurrican Gustav made landfall, but did you listen. NO. On the news all of you greedy money laundering people were partying trying to hide behind plants and stuff so that your faces weren't shown on T.V. Or When you did speak to the camera's you said you didn't care.

More than likely I'll be voting for Obama. I just hope that Obama's choices are for the better of the U.S. and not just to try and make people in Washington happy.

Either way its a "Fucked Up World" and we just live in it.

Maybe one day when all the people are done looking for problems someone will find a solution.

Too fat for execution ?

2008-08-04T22:00:00.000-07:00

Ohio inmate says he's too fat for execution. I say he's full of shit.
This inmate is sentenced to die for raping and murdering two young women in 1986. His execution is scheduled for Oct. 14. Thats the prison system for you, feed them, clothe them and educate them. Like I've said before in previous posts, if you were sentenced to die, don't waste the tax payers money, execute them that day. That way the inmates don't have the opportunity to find ways around being executed. I think this inmate in particular, because he is making the claim himself, should executed on his scheduled day, if the first shot thats supposed to put him to sleep doesn't work, fuck it. I'm sure the girls that he killed were still awake when they were murdered. He should be shot up with the lethal drugs until it does take effect. Thats just my opinion though.

weather

2008-07-23T22:32:00.000-07:00

ladies and gentlemen, this one is for you.

Ever set at home watching TV when the news interrupts with severe weather "Tornado Warning"? Your like damn i'm missing Celebrity Family Fued and the TV station will never replay it, so your pretty much screwed and have to wait for a re-run.

So you set there and your hearing, if your in this location, seek shelter as you are in danger of getting hit by a strong storm possible Tornado. Or if you live in a trailer/mobile home, go into a brick complex or lay in a ditch, just cover your head.

Your really telling me that laying outside in a Ditch is safer than staying in your home. Come on

Not only can this be a bunch of shit, but I want to know which cable/satellite provider, and electric company has enough signal to work in these extreme conditions that the people in those areas can still see whats going on. Normally, if theres extreme weather advisories, shortly you will hear a broadcasts so many people are left without power this evening. Ill bet its the fuckers that were in the storms path who is still setting there wondering whats going on in their area.

Tv stations should be able to broadcasts to certain areas, if nothings going on in your area, your service should be uninterrupted.

It should be like the Emergency Broadcast System. BEEEEEEP .. Oh wait, they cant get that to work either. if they did my TV didnt break though saying BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP this is an EMERGENCY Please take shelter. Maybe it should be like the Tsunami warning. oh shit my bad.. Maybe it should be like the Earthquake any signs of rumbling RUN, nah might not work. or the colored levels of National Security, Red = Tornado, White = Snow / Blizzard Blue = Calm, Black = GET THE FUCK OUT. nah then we'd be screwed into seeing mike lapointe all day.

Are you serious?

2008-07-23T21:50:00.000-07:00

Are you serious?
Ok, below is an article thaty I read from a newspaper. Here are some of my thoughts on it. If the guy was sentenced to death, why are they going to have a hearing to determine if he is a sexually violent predator. He was found guilty of rape of a child, statutory sexual assault, and sexual assault, yeah I would say that he is a sexually violent predator. I don't think it takes a judge, jury or even a genius to figure that one out. Everyone has a right to a fair trial, but if you're convicted of a crime and sentenced to death, what are they waiting for? I say kill him now and move on to the next wack job.
I think all the people that are sentenced to death should be lined up right now or after their sentencing and get it over with, why wait, they didnt make the people they killed wait. This way they wouldn't waste as much of the tax payers money as they do by letting them sit in prison.

From The Herald Standard
Updated 7/24/08
Sentencing set for man convicted in girl's death

Sentencing for a Fayette County man convicted of murdering and raping a 12-year-old Greene County girl in June 2006 has been rescheduled to 10 a.m. Aug. 21.

In May, a Greene County jury found Jeffrey Robert Martin, 50, of New Geneva guilty in the strangulation death and rape of Gabrielle Bechen of Dunkard Township and sentenced him to death.

The sentencing was scheduled for today.

At the Aug. 21 sentencing hearing before Greene County President Judge H. Terry Grimes, Martin will be formally sentenced on the first-degree murder conviction and sexual assault charges.

A hearing to determine if Martin, a Greene County native, is a sexually violent predator under Megan's Law could be held before the sentencing.

A pre-sentence investigation and Megan's Law evaluation of Martin have been completed.

County prosecutors argued that Martin raped the girl and then killed her, buried her body and other evidence on a farm where he worked to conceal the crime.

Bechen's June 13, 2006, disappearance triggered an extensive search involving state police, FBI agents and hundreds of volunteers.

Martin confessed to killing the girl and led police to where he buried the body on June 17 after a pair of the volunteer searchers found the all-terrain vehicle Bechen rode from her home to the nearby farm on Mount Joy Road where Martin worked. The body, ATV and other evidence were found buried at different sites on the farm.

A recorded confession he made to police was played in court, but Martin told a different story when he testified.

In the confession, Martin said he strangled the girl after she drove her ATV to the farm and told him she was going to tell her parents he molested her. On the witness stand, he said a man ran out of gasoline in front of the farm and offered him $100 to help him dispose of an ATV he had in the bed of his truck.

Martin testified that he saw a body inside the truck after he and the man finished burying the ATV.

He said he went back to work, but the man drove a backhoe and took lime from the farm, buried the girl and then showed him the gravesite.

Martin also claimed police abused and tortured him to make him confess.

During the sentencing phase of the trial, a brother and sister of Martin's described a dysfunctional upbringing with alcoholic and abusive parents. They also said Martin was in special education student who quit school in 10th grade.

In addition to first-degree murder, Martin was found guilty of rape of a child, aggravated assault, aggravated indecent assault, statutory sexual assault, sexual assault, abuse of a corpse and four counts of tampering with evidence.

The Guys' Rules!

2008-07-12T02:15:00.000-07:00

These were in a newsletter at work, figured I'd post them here.

Men are NOT mind readers

Learn to work the toilet seat, you're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

Crying is blackmail.

Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: subtle hints do not work; strong hints do not work; obvious hints do not work. Just say it!

Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

A headache that last for 17 months is a Problem. See a doctor.

Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissable in an argument. In fact, all comments became null and void after 7 days.

If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

If something we said can be interpreted in two ways and one of them makes you sad or angry, then we meant the other one.

You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

I'm trying to give you the life that I never had

2008-07-01T23:58:00.001-07:00

People say "I'm trying to give you the life that I never had".
Sometimes I think that phrase is used way out of context. I know that some people didnt have alot when they were growing up or their parents weren't always around or other things. But if you always put work over family then I really don't think you're helping that much. Are you? Yeah you can buy them things that you didn't have growing up or buy things that you always wanted. But when you look at it all, what are those things? After being away for awhile, you kinda put yourself out of the picture. Sure your kids might have the latest in video game systems, a giant pool that they can have parties in, but where are the important things? Such as the love of your family. I think people are taking that for granted. For some people tomorrow may never come, but thats ok because you can play Grand Theft AUto 4 or now you can rent a shuttle and fly to the moon.

Either way I don't have any remedies for this. I just think that people should look at what they have, not what they don't.

Just wanted to put my opinion out there.

PennDOT Does it again.

2008-06-17T22:11:00.000-07:00

PennDOT Does it again.

A protective coating PennDOT uses to prevent potholes somehow is creating them, forcing the highway agency to halt its road-sealing program across Allegheny County.

More than 130 miles of county roads might have to wait for a protective "tar and chip" coating, and some of the nearly 20 miles completed must be repaired because of the failure, which PennDOT can't explain.

It's the first time PennDOT has had a problem with the tar-and-chip mixture.

But it's not the first time that PennDOT has screwed up. In February of 2007, drivers were stuck on a road for more than a day after a snowfall that left 50 miles of traffic jammed on Interstate 78. The governor called it "almost total breakdown in communication" among state agencies.

Personally, I think it's amazing that they can leave you stuck in the winter and then fuck your car up in the summer. If only they paid for the automotive repairs that people have to go through.

Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less

The petition is entitled “Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less.” You only have to give your name, email address, zip code, and if you wish your party affiliation. If you can, pass it on to other friends and relatives, so that Congress will act on this important issue. (You DO NOT have to contribute any money to this campaign, but it is important that as many people as possible sign the petition.)

The Bucket List - Movie Review

2008-06-10T23:31:00.001-07:00

The Bucket List - starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman

From IMDB:
Two terminally ill men escape from a cancer ward and head off on a road trip with a wish list of to-dos before they die.

This movie was only nominated for 1 award. A few days ago I did a review for a movie called "No Country for Old Men" that was nominated for over 84 awards. Personally I think it should've been the other way around.

I honestly enjoyed watching this movie. The two actors were great together. The storyline was really good and it was interesting. I highly recommend this movie to everyone.

This is another movie that I am giving 5 Stars to.

Commercials suck

2008-06-10T23:03:00.000-07:00

Alright, it's bad enough that you have that damn JG Wentworth commercial having people shout "It's my money and I want it now" coming on about 50 times a day, now they made it into a fucking opera style commercial. Personally I can't stand opera's and now that they made that stupid ass commercial from that style, I'll never will.

I wish there was away in the tv to filter the commercials that you see. There are some commercials that I like, but the majority of them suck.

Some other stupid ass, boring, fucked up commercials that I'll add to this list are: "Enzyte", "Extenze", "GEICO Auto Insurance", "Girls Gone Wild" (fucking censors ruin it), "Wendy's" (its not way better than fast food, IT IS FAST FOOD), and finally those damn dating commercials that come on around midnight. Oh yeah not to mention those infamous "Infomercials" that come on late at night or all weekend long. Colon Cleanse, Sex Talk (Extenze), Get Rich Quick, Ebay Money, Eliminate Debt.

Fuck all of them and whatever ones I left out.

Definately, Maybe - Movie Review

2008-06-10T21:31:00.000-07:00

Definately, Maybe 2008 starring Ryan Reynolds

Summary from IMDB
A political consultant tries to explain his impending divorce and past relationships to his 11-year-old daughter.

I actually made it through the whole movie, thought it was pretty good. I'm gonna give this movie 5 stars, since it kept my attention and is actually from a guys point of view.

Genetic Scientists Develop Sheep With Brain Of A Goat

2008-06-05T21:03:00.000-07:00

Genetic Scientists Develop Sheep With Brain Of A Goat

It took years of work and millions of dollars but finally scientists have achieved what was heretofore thought impossible, or at least highly unlikely, a sheep with a goat's brain.

--------------

Now here are my thoughts on this.
Why in the world would anyone spend millions of dollars to develop a sheep with the brain of a goat. Besides wasting tons of money, what is the point? Myself, I see no point. It's like NASA sending shit to Mars to test the soil. Who cares if there is/was life on that planet? It's not like you can go to the airport and buy tickets to travel back and forth from Earth to Mars to visit relatives. Besides who would want to go on that trip, would take forever to get there and back. I think NASA and the other scientists should be spending money on stuff that would actually help in present day or the future. Or if they want to go to another planet, take the prisoners there and just drop them off so that they can dig the soil instead of building machines that cost alot of taxpayers money. Unless thats in the governments budget, which I'm sure most of it comes from us the taxpayer. Personally I have no interest in going to another planet or seeing a sheep with a goats brain.

Fast Food

2008-06-04T23:08:00.000-07:00

Ok I have nothing against Wendy's restaurant but when they say "It's waaaay better than fast food. It's Wendy's" really annoys me.

Wendy's, like McDonald's, Burger King, and many other drive-thru restaurants are fast food places. There is nothing different about each restaurant. They all serve burgers, fries, chicken, and salads. Occasionally, they'll serve different items but not often.

They only place that I wouldn't consider fast food would be Dairy Queen since they seem to make you wait in line for about 20 min, even if you call in your order ahead of time.

I really wish the prices at Sonic weren't so high, at least you can get breakfast there through a drive-thru anytime you want.

No Country For Old Men - Movie Review

2008-06-04T21:28:00.000-07:00

This is my review for "No Country for Old Men" starring Tommy Lee Jones.

From IMDB:
Violence and mayhem ensue after a hunter stumbles upon some dead bodies, a stash of heroin and more than $2 million in cash near the Rio Grande

This was one of the most overhyped movies that I've heard about. The movie was nominated for numerous awards and won 4 Oscars and 84 others. To be perfectly honest with you I didnt make it through the movie. I fell asleep during it because I was bored outta my mind.
So I'm just gonna go ahead and give this movie 1 star outta 5, just because it had some violence in it.

Witless Protection - Movie Review

2008-06-02T01:21:00.000-07:00

I'm gonna try and do a review of the movie "Witless Protection" starring Larry The Cable Guy.

From IMDB:
The story centers on a small-town sheriff who witnesses what he believes is a kidnapping and rushes to rescue a woman.

Ok, I'm not good at doing reviews, so I'll just say this movie isn't a total wash out.
Overall, to me, it's a good movie. If you like Larry the Cable Guy, I'm sure you'll enjoy this movie.

So I'll give this movie 3 Stars

Violence and News

2008-05-25T07:33:00.000-07:00

Violence on TV is not due to video games or movies, it is due to the NEWS thats right I said it the fucking NEWS. All they do is replaying the scene on tv every half hour, locking it in peoples heads to say we should do this.

From the Columbine Massacre to the Virginia Tech tragedy, the news showed it all on live National TV. Showing the bloody videos, the ways to plot your own massacre, giving websites for tips on making your own bombs, message boards for questions and trying to be psychiatrists and examining whats inside the mind of the killer(s).

Why doesnt anyone every blame the news, internet, or the peoples parents? These are the true reasons for violence. When was the last time you seen a PG13 or R rating on the news? Never! But they put it on video games, movies, and music cds. Why in the hell, would you show tables full of guns, bloody scenes and people in body bags or severed body parts from being blown up in Iraq and Afghanistan or gang riots and drive by shootings on the news and not expect someone to get the idea of Man we need to try this? Better yet, lets examine how we can steal something from your vehicle and show you how the criminals actually did it, leading the way for more crime and violence.

Who cares about what happens in Arizona if you live in Pennsylvania? By the fucking USA TODAY if you want news from other states. By the National Enquirer if you want news thats fucked up.

One source One cause One Solution, stop showing this fucked up material on the news and start showing some local news in our area that we may really need to know about!

increasing safety checks in Brownsville

2008-05-25T07:31:00.000-07:00

Brownsville
Safety checks set
The Brownsville police will be conducting safety checks at various in Brownsville Borough and Brownsville Township during the spring and summer months. Police will be looking for drivers who are driving under the influence, speeding or failing to use seatbelts.
In addition, the borough has purchased a video camera that is mounted in the police car, providing a record of all traffic stops and other events covered by the police officers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember when they layed off the police, since they saved all that money they can afford a damn camera to hook up to their car. Maybe now we can see an episode of Cops in Brownsville, or Crackheads Gone Wild at the A-Plus. Spousal Disputes in South Hills Terrace and the all important drug deals at the National City Bank Building and the parking lot across form the bar, all on HSTV.

Come on everyone sees the chubby guy near all the old raggedy cars (even in the freezing cold) and the bum setting on the corner watching for the cops, you dont think hes actually driving them do you and i’ll guarantee he’s not the valet parking

Gasoline Now More Expensive Than Heroin

2008-05-25T01:02:00.000-07:00

That was one of the news headlines that appeared when I checked my email earlier. The rest of the story below in bold:

"According to a recently published study, this revealing news marks the first time that it actually makes sound economic sense to be a heroin addict."

In a way its true. Have you noticed though that ever since Shop 'N' Save, Giant Eagle, Martin's, Foodland and a lot of other stores introduced that fuel perks system that gas prices have sharply increased. And if you take in consideration that every time President Bush goes and asks the Saudi Arabians for help the prices per barrel skyrockets also. To start out around $27 a barrel when he first took office, now its over $130. Sometimes it might be better if he kept his mouth shut.

I do agree with some people who are calling for the government to set a mandated price for gas. Though I do hope they do it before the prices get to outta control. In other countries people pay $8 a gallon, personally once the price hits around $5 a gallon (probably sometime this summer) I'll be looking into the F.A.C.T. Bus for a ride to work, or just giving up altogether since more and more of the paycheck is gonna go torwards trying to get to and from work.

Hello

2008-05-25T00:56:00.000-07:00

Whats up? This is the first post of this blog. Its the newest feature on the terribletwins.org website. Though blogging has been around for awhile now, really never got that into it. Figured why not give it a shot. Hopefully you'll enjoy reading some of the stuff posted, though most of it will probably be useless information of the unknown. There may be some movie or music reviews, some random thoughts, and whatever else we feel like throwing in on occasion; if we dont forget about this site lol

Enjoy
