Good morning sunshines or shut up get coffee!

Here were are again. Another Monday another start to another wonderful week of work, and otherwise monotonous skullduggery to get us through to the next weekend. Never fear because I am here to help.

Finally this weekend I have found that Justin Bieber and myself have something in common. YES, can you believe it? I was utterly shocked as well. It seems we both feel the same exact way about his music and concert performances. Take a look. This is a full dose of awesome sauce from me to you. Well that is if awesome sauce is say….. a bag of Doritos and a quart of spoiled milk?

Who is singing while ol’ Bieb’s his hurking out his dinner on stage?

Does anyone have even the slightest idea of how pathetic this is? This little hump has something like a trillion followers on Twitter, Facebook, mommywasaslut.com

How is this Rock and Roll? How is this cool? Do you know how many hotel rooms Led Zeppelin trashed to be cool. How many times Keith Moon had to be carried off stage passed out from behind his drum kit in a puddle of his own piss and vomit. Hell even Axl Rose doesnt show up to his shows until he has combed all his pubic hairs, had his special Chai tea and painted his toenails.

Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison, Moon, Rhodes, Vaughn, Cobain, Staley is it any wonder why they all checked out long before their time? Maybe they were all visionaries that saw music heading into the abyss we now find ourselves mired in. If thats the case, who can blame them?

In any event, to watch Mr. Bieber puke and vomit while hunched over ass out to his adoring fans is a win for me on any Monday in my book. Enjoy.

Coffee is ready. Hang on a second and let me sooth my nerves.

Ahhhhh. That’s much better. Let’s continue shall we?

Football this weekend? Ugh! The Jets were supposed to play the 49’ers. Did anyone even notice if they showed up for the game? Who were the people wearing the green and white uniforms? Well a loss is a loss I guess. If you’re going to take a beating no sense in spending energy or risking additional injury defending against the inevitable.

October is an exciting month this year. Let me rephrase that last sentence. This particular October should be an exciting month. Presidential and vice presidential debates take place. If Mitt Romney has half a brain in his Mormon head or by chance someone running his election campaign has half a ball sack, they will have instructed and throughly prepared him to eviscerate President Obama to his soulless core every single question every single debate. Governor Romney needs to go for the throat and kill this bastard.

If it were me, nothing would be off limits. No matter the time limit or the question content. I would somehow for every time I open my mouth bring about the questions of Obama’s past. Topics would include but not limited to:

  • Obama’s communist father Frank Marshall Davis.
  • Obama’s association with Acorn and the typical Chicago corruption.
  • Obama’s association with Bill Ayers, Rev. Wright
  • Obama’s bogus SSN#
  • Obama’s college transcripts
  • Obama’s nepotism  in Chicago for getting Michelle $300,000/year hospital job (turning away indigent patients to other hospitals…IRONY),
  • Obama buying his home with assistance with felon Tony Rezko.
  • All the way down to his nose job and plastic surgery. Who is hiding why change appearances?

I would slit his throat in the debates!

The bullshit this President has pulled over the mindless sheep in this country boarders on criminal. We’ll see if Romney plays it safe or goes for the kill. If he has any sense he’ll realize what the play it safe and passive route got John McCain in 2008.

Do your homework folks. Look past the silly 15 and 30 second sound bites on TV and ask questions. The answers are out there. Just don’t be too shocked about the answers you find to your questions when you start to think on your own.

Enough political commentary for today. These thoughts are mine and mine only. I respect everyones position and theres room here for all.

Oh yeah, my birthday and Halloween is in October too!

Nothing special this weekend from the corporate kitchens with the exception of Belgian Waffles and a decent Pizza Slut clone of cheese sticks/bread. Keep your eyes on the recipe section for those entries.

However, today in appreciation and honor of Octoberfest. I will be making beef rouladen with a dill spaetzle. Some serious German eats yo! Or is that Yohan? Or Gunther or Wolfgang? Whatever, some good German food today. Will post the results later.

The blog has been alive about two months now. I have been thinking about some commercial interests and since we have been discussing a lot of food lately, it may be about time to introduce you to another passion of mine, woodworking. Some of you may already know this and  to some this may be new. I like wood. I have wood. 😉

Generally I have built mostly furniture, and some custom cabinetry. What I have enjoyed making in the past which have made great gifts and an obvious tie in to my love of making and shoving food down my throat is beautiful end grain cutting boards. Take a look.

I am thinking about making more cutting boards and selling them through this web site / blog. As you can see there are no limitations to color, size, or shape. The beauty to a properly made end grain cutting board is not only its appearance in your home, but if you are the least bit anal about your knives and cutlery you use in your kitchen then cutting food on an end grain cutting board is the best for your knives and keeps your blades sharper longer.

If you’re like me and pay upwards of $150+ for a professional Shun chef’s knife you care about trivial things like this. Everyone is like me right? LOL. Ok so you’re not so anal retentive or a maniac perfectionist when it comes to these matters. Well these cutting boards look damn good in any kitchen, and with minimal care last as long as you will live.

You want one of these cutting boards. You must have one of these cutting boards. You want one of these cutting boards for yourself, and you want to buy another to give to someone you care about for Christmas or the upcoming holidays. You must have one! When you sleep at night you dream about them! It’s all you can think about! You want to be the first one on your block to have your very own Whats Up Brock end grain cutting board.

Well my friends don’t you worry. I always got your back. In the next couple of days, I’ll provide the information to you on this very site/blog for you to order your very own What’s Up Brock end grain cutting board.

Be ready to jump when I open up the ordering flood gates. It’s going to be first come first serve. You will want to get in early for delivery in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons.

I know what your already thinking. “What are you going to do with the money fat ass?” I’ll tell you. I am going to get drunk and buy hookers. What the hell do you think? Ok I am kidding. Honest. I am however going to donate some of the proceeds to some charitable organizations that have moved me lately and need our help. So in a way by ordering a cutting board from me, you not only win by owning a one of kind, beautiful piece of kitchen/household functional “art” you will also be a part of helping some neglected dogs/cats and some truly deserving injured and broken Veterans and their families.

So stay tuned. You’ll want to be a part of this.

Lots of adjectives to describe this weekend. None more then melancholy that its over, but probably the two that most come to mind as I sit back and think about the weekend are interesting and grateful.

I’ll start with the interesting. Yesterday it seems that the President was in town, glad handing and drumming up support for his attempt at re-election. This wouldn’t be out of the ordinary except that yesterday as he was making his way from Melbourne to West Palm Beach he was was stopping at seemingly random businesses to speak with patrons and establishment owners. One of his stops was about a mile as the crow flies from my home to some local restaurant bar. The police activity, secret service convoy, Obama’s motorcade, helicopters is a sight to see, once you get over the fact its a complete damned catastrophe waiting to happen. Traffic is stopped in all directions within a mile of wherever the President decides to jump out for his photo opportunity. Its interesting to see the logistics to move this guy around and at what costs to the communities and people around him to do it. Yesterday during his movement one of the poor bastard motorcycle police whom was attempting to “Stop” traffic on interstate 95 (yes you read that right, stop traffic on Interstate 95) was creamed by a pickup truck and subsequently DRT. (Dead Right There) President Obama’s  thoughts are with his family of course!

What else is interesting to me is how and at what establishments the President decides to randomly stop in and visit. The news and White House would have you believe that the President while traveling through the region to kill some time just decides to pull off the road here and there all willy nilly to shake hands and kiss babies. I call bullshit on that every day till Sunday. Secret service knows all about these stops well in advance. Secret service even calls the establishments owners forty minutes prior and announce that the President will be stopping in. This is all logical and fine.

To me this tells you a little about the establishment the President is visiting. Do you think the President, during his most crucial re-election campaign, would just stop in to visit a business owner who is a through and through republican? Or maybe a business owner whom is trying to figure out how in the hell he/she is going to afford to pay for mandatory healthcare with all the bells and whistles under Obamacare and remain in business? No, this tells me one thing. The particular places President Obama decides to stop in and visit, are staunch supporters of his. I’ll even go so far as to say, I’d bet a million internet bucks that these business owners have made $$$ contributions to Mr. Obama’s re-election campaign. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think there is anything wrong with that being the case, it just for me it shines these businesses in a different light. It could be argued that this President is the most polarizing President we as a nation have had in a very long time. There are those that say, President Obama will clearly unseat former President Jimmy Carter as the worst President the nation has had in modern times. I tend to agree personally which is why I don’t see how some of these local business can support such a threat to simple free market enterprise as this President.

Lastly in the interesting department it was posed to me in conversation, what would I have done if I was a local business owner and President Obama just showed up. It’s a good question to ponder. I maintain that President Obama wouldn’t just show up to my business, his intel and recon would know that I am not a democrat, nor a supporter of his. However if  he did come into my establishment how would I react to him? I wouldn’t turn him away, he is the President for Christ’s sake. As a Marine, he’s the commander in chief. Good or bad he’ll get his due respect the office in which he holds deserves from me. All things being equal, he wouldn’t be getting much of a photo opportunity with me and if given the chance, respectfully told nor my vote.

Enough interesting, lets discuss grateful.

I was also grateful this weekend. I got a chance to get breakfast / lunch with some friends Saturday. We hung for a few hours discussing such important topics as fishing, motorcycles, food, the annual Christmas party, and how and when to fly in fresh crawdads from Louisiana this spring for a serious boil.

I am grateful because these friends as are most of mine, are on the board of directors of this internet content conglomerate that is What’s up Brock. While this blog is still young and in its infancy, it helps me to get feedback and direction from folks who are regularly reading what I am typing. So far everything is positive and the general consensus is to keep going, give them more more more. Not a problem there at all. I got some ideas for content and spreading the sickness to the masses. I am excited to see where this goes. So far as I stated earlier the response has been overwhelmingly positive. I haven’t even gotten to the hunting and killing or tools and horsepower yet. Furthermore you know I haven’t reached the end of the internet toilet flush of having a lack of content or ideas yet because we all know that ace in the hole is tits and porn. I am a long way from playing that card. I hope. Not that I would. Well tits and porn are ok. Wait, I am supposed to be making and thinking about what kind of brand I am creating here. I want all people to read and enjoy this site. Thongs, panties, (shut up devil).

Lets close this up before my head explodes.

Be good to each other. We get back what we give out and if you cant be with the one you love, then love the one you’re with.

Come here Lucas!
