Hollywood Humph

The Tiki Bar is open......

It's my brother in law. aka lobster boy. I feel compelled to put his photo on my blog. It may be the first and only time he ever gets some press.........

Happy Mardi Gras to everyone.

Lets talk about what's been going on down in my neck of the woods. January flew by. Most of you know I was in town for the Bengals game. Talk about fired up.... The out-come was not what I was looking for but that's what happens when you play Pitt. Hate it (always have always will). Saw many friends Friday night in downtown Cinti. The "Who Dey" Florida plate was a big hit in the bar as well during the game. Hit the boat while I was there and my only claim to fame was 1000 coins on a wheel of fortune slot. (It was a 25 cent game not a nickel game Mark Allen). I took a photo of the machine with those bright beautiful red l.e.d's staring at me. I only get a kiss from Amy if it is over 1000 coins. Anything less is a nice hit.........

I was great to see all my buddy's at the game. MM told them I was coming into town. The fat man and myself hung out with my friends Darlene and Craig. She wore a Bengals jersey and he wore a Steelers jersey. Nicely done Darlene.... I also got to see my friend Bridgett. It was only brief but it is always good to see you B......

We hung at the bar for quite awhile so we would look and feel our best for the big show. Walked a crossed the blue bridge from the great state of Kentucky into the great state of Ohio. I proudly wore my Florida Who Dey license plate around my neck. It was a beautiful day out. We hung out with some friends of Darlene and Craigs in the parking lot. Good time. As we are standing waiting for people to get through the porta pottie, this girl look s at my plate and says "yeah right"......Now she is wearing a Bengals jersey. "You don't think I live in Florida? She shrugs her eyes. The fat man said " don't even give her the time of day" So didn't..... Bitch.......
Enough of the game....We all know the outcome. You know the super bowl is in Miami next year. 15 mins from my place. Come hell or high water....I will be there.

It was a bit chilly down here. Somedays it barley cracked 70. Thank goodness the pool is heated. Work was very busy and took up most of my time.

I was able to do some condo projects. I installed 3 new ceiling fans. They are really cool looking. The have the palm frans on them. I also painted the kitchen and put new lighting in the kitchen and over the dining room table. The light over the table is bronze with palm trees on it. The bar and the walls were painted a sand color. The colors go real well together. I have my friend Gina to thank on that. Most of you know...I am not good at matching colors. I put the colors together from memory once I have seen them. I heard my mailman had the same trouble..................

My 2 sisters and their husbands came down over the Presidents Day weekend. Very happy to see them. We hung out a lot by the pool and we went to the beach as well. Mark felt the need for no sun screen as you can tell by the photo. It was a smashing beautiful weekend. The weather was perfect. Most of the time... never a cloud in the sky. Saturday we were up in Fort Lauderdale and I took them to the Elbow room. God I love that bar. I will be taking all the guys to that place when they get down here next month. (ten are coming down here from Cinti). The bar is a little hole in the wall. Great prices for beer, a guy plaing a guitar and pretty girls walking up and down the beach. Simply beautiful................ I sent the girls to the mall while we went to the dog track to pay some poker before the races started. Mark and I played. Bob and my buddy Mitch watched from the side lines. Mark and I were having a great time at the table for we were the only talking.. Then we met Sophie. She was a grandma. Plays poker 4-5 times and week. What a trip this woman was. She sat there drinking her coffee and eating her free doughnuts they give away.
This old man sitting at our table yelled at me and told me it was against the rules to talk to people who were not at the table. I apologized and told Bob and Mitch I could no longer speak with them because they were not at the table. He was a prick. Making comments at me all night. Mark and I schrougged it off for awhile. So everytime he would stay in a hand I would stay in and raise the hell of the pot. I did not care. I wanted his cash. Sophie told me to kick his ass for he was a mean old man. I respect that woman. We said our goodbyes and off we went. Lost 80 at the table.....

The girls and Bob went to bed. Mark and I went out. Went to a b-day party on h-blvd. There were girls dancing salsa like I have never seen before. My eyes were shell shocked. I new a few of them and I was amazed on how they moved. So of course I had to get out there and try. So I did. Not bad for a young little whipper snapper from the Midwest. These women are starving for guys to dance with. That's were I fit right in.. I know many of you have seen me shake my ass. "it's all good". It's like a bit of "Solid Gold, Latino and Greatful Dead all packed into 160 lbs of pure energy. Just have fun and keep smiling and for Gosh sake....Spin those women. Twirl them.............

They all left on Monday. It was great to see everyone. Hope you enjoyed your stay.

It Mardi Gras weekend. Mardi Gras means "Fat Tuesday" if you did not know.... I put an email to many friends down here welcoming them into my Tiki bar prior to any festivities. We had a good show of people. Once we depleted my stash of beer and wine, we headed for the streets. The parade was already finished. Headed to the bar. Walking around the streets reminded me of the days in New Orleans for the same event. How bizarre...Hollywood and New Orleans have two things in common....We both took and hit from Hurricane Katrina and we both had a Mardi Gras parade. The bar was fun. We hung outside for quite some time. Nice blues band playing inside. The girls we proudly wearing those beads. Nicely done ladies........ Time for some food. Ran over and got a slice of pizza. My other friend needed some sweets. So we went to a bar called Chocolotta. You guessed it. All chocolate. The girl was in heaven. The rest of the pack met us and the girls went in and got a few things. We were sitting down and one of them just dived in. I thought I was a fast eater. She ate this chocolate piece of cake so fast. My hats off to her. She could not speak during her devouring of this cake and afterwards her face was flush with color. Orgasmic in nature. Completely satisfied. Guys we have allot to learn....
