We did a major overhaul of the site this week and we appreciate everyone’s continued interest in our site. We understand the colors are a little harsh, but we think everything overall should be better. Besides hell breaking loose, we get brow beaten by law students for watching a tazing, obsess over Valentine’s Day and bitch about rudeness of smokers.
We did cry twice this week– once about Kiki closing and once about the loss of one of our favorite baristas from Cafe Cubano. Things did take a turn for the better as we pranced around in our fur coats and decided that serious drug dealing can happen on the Downtown Mall. Enjoy with a Snack Pack.

Creeeeeekk…. the door swung open to a vast empty room of a thread as yo took a tentative step inside. Open before him was a vast, empty chamber, the futility of its utility immediately apparent. All of the fixtures of this room were of an aged, obsolete nature, as if the amount of time taken to create such a space pushed past the time in which its use was necessary. All features of this vacuous interior wasteland already had been commented to death by the time it was complete, and yo wondered why such a place had even been considered. The echoing drips of ideas gone by in weeks past were the only sounds to be heard. No stranger to the hollow aspects of internet life, the mystery of the imperative to create such a space had drawn yo in in the first place, but now once having transgressed the transom of such lonely emptiness, he wondered what he was doing in a week in review thread. He was left to question not only why this thread was here, but why indeed was he here? What had he, immersed in his neurotic removal from the greater population at large, to add to such an empty pointless space? Perhaps he had found his natural element. Or perhaps he had once again just wandered into a place where he had no business being, and was once again making a vain attempt to fill up yet another empty space with his random and vapid commentary and observation.
Perhaps he had just been drinking. Again.
Still, one is left to wonder what the point of such summations of chunks of time might be, just as yo, once again, is left to wonder what his point might be. Still he finds comfort in in the emptiness, the pointlessness, and decides to pull up a rusty folding chair and sit and wait. What for? I suppose only time will tell.
The void is an old and trusted friend
which yearns to be filled until the end,
and though time and space may bend
the gifts in nothing, your soul wont mend.
‘Week in review’, what more can rend?
A recap unworthy of the button send?
Though this post Im sure I would append,
my two cents I was compelled to lend.
But belmont yo, it’s so fun! I love seeing “VD” next to my name.
B’YO - We are trying to help those people who visit our site on a non-daily basis!
I was just inspired by the nectar of the agave, no worries. Do a month in review for all I care. Who am I to complain?
Yo, thank you for that. I read it aloud while laughing, and could not have said it better had I tried a thousand times.
[…] lapse to depression. For cVillains, it meant waking up to Mas’ owner giving us the lowdown on how to order cocktails. While we are no strangers to food, we thought it appropriate to discuss the merits of eating meat […]
