U-Haul Etiquette

Took a little roadtrip on Saturday with the
Sons of SoulSlam...destination: Camden Yards!

Got some tix from a pal at the J-O-B and we was meeting up in the land of Natty Boh. About 200 miles door to door, and it was down and back after game. SoulSlam is a warrior, y'all.

Anyhoo...on to my topic of choice. The ubiquitous U-Haul (and it doesn't have to be theirs...could be a renatl from Budget, Penske, whoever). This is the transport of choice for those with a futon. A way to ship oneself, and the personal belongings of oneself in an efficient manner. Except...

THERE IS ABSOLUTLEY NO REASON WHY YOU SHOULD EVER BE IN THE LEFT LANE!!!!

So I'm guessing a lot of these moving on up folks don't really know where they are going. That's OK. We all are new to something. But...

THERE IS ABSOLUTLEY NO REASON WHY YOU SHOULD EVER BE IN THE LEFT LANE!!!!

I think I've made my point. Orioles won by the way.

The Tip Jar (An Incendiary Post)

Dunkin' Donuts. Starbucks. Carvel. Delis. Pizza places. Blah, blah, blah.

Why a tip jar there and not in other places. How come my dry cleaner doesn't have a tip jar? My bank? The place I get my morning paper and coffee? I'll tell you why. Because those right thinking people actually work and understand that their good customer service and hard work is paying off in spades with my business.

These other Tip Jar infested places? They are generally populated with people who don't think that the amount I pay for anything (like $2.50 for a cup of coffee) is enough. I should tip them for the one minute of time they devote to me, often never even looking up past their freakin' nose rings to acknowledge me. Sullen and goth...they leave that tip jar there to antagonize me and guilt the weak into dropping a dollah!

I despise you.

New Post

Lo and behold, a post from SoulSlam!

SoulSlam knows he's been AWOL for about 2 months, with only a couple of nuggets to satisfy the fan in all of you. Lo siento.

It was a tough summer with the passing of my Mom. Not really in the mood to type. Even the twitterati was left wanting, though my thumbs have recently started tweeting again on their own. Stream of consciousness type stuff.

I thank all for their condolences and prayers. I'll try to get back on track.

The Flip-Flop Guy

Though I've been back for a few days now, the House of SoulSlam (minus the dogs)went on a 10 day vacation to the #1 BEACH IN AMERICA, Siesta Key FLA!

Awesome place. Had a great yah-yah time. Boys loved it. My beautiful wife loved it. SoulSlam loved it. I wore flip-flops a lot!

Looking for foreclosures as we speak.
