It is quite clear to ice cream lovers that Green Tea Ice Cream Rocks.&lt;br /&gt;
But, other than Asian supermarkets and specialty stores, it is quite difficult to find green tea ice cream at your chain grocery stores, such as Stop &amp;amp; Shop, Walmart, Dominicks, etc. Please sign this petition to support and help the cause of demanding chain groceries to start stocking their stores with Green Tea Ice Cream. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once we reach or near our goal signatures, I will submit this to all major corporate grocery chain headquarters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank You, &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;Just got my latest shipment of gear. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#1) Schampa Skull Balaclava: awesome...this will go well with all my tactical gear.&amp;nbsp; Yes, I know its unoriginal, marines and rangers wear this sometimes, and it was on the PS Magazine Cover with Modern Warfare 2, etc.&amp;nbsp; But, give me my 5 minutes of badassness....&amp;nbsp; The only downside is that it does not fit as well as the UnderArmour&amp;nbsp;hood I bought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#2) Under Armour ColdGear Hood: I&#39;m from Chicago, so the cold in Boston is NO big deal.&amp;nbsp; But, I still hate the winter winds with all my heart.&amp;nbsp; This hood is awesome, it fits nice and snug, looks badass, is so thin that it&#39;s not bulky to carry around in your pocket, and does its job in protecting your face from the elements.&amp;nbsp; Not to mention you transform into a tactical ninja when wearing this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Invest in these...especially #2 if you live in cold weather areas.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I just recently switched from T-Mobile to Verizon... finally upgrading from a free tiny flip phone to the Blackberry Tour (which is buy one get one free by the way).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All I can say in the first week of switching over....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The reception of Verizon in Boston is SOOOOOOOooooooooooo much better.&amp;nbsp; I get reception when driving in the tunnel southbound going onto the Tobin, no dropouts in all the mini-tunnels on storrow drive, and great reception in all the nooks and crannies at my work place, where I had no reception with T-mobile before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This fact alone has made the switch absolutely worth it.&amp;nbsp; For those of you in Boston looking for great reception and less lost calls due to poor signal, look into Verizon.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://3-cities.blogspot.com/feeds/6171746182674608041/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://3-cities.blogspot.com/2009/10/verizon-vs-t-mobile-in-bostonwinner.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5518879849770873877/posts/default/6171746182674608041'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5518879849770873877/posts/default/6171746182674608041'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://3-cities.blogspot.com/2009/10/verizon-vs-t-mobile-in-bostonwinner.html' title='Verizon vs. T-Mobile in Boston....Winner Verizon'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN_nvk9uKgMpWmr19AY6UesTnc8xF_mNP1_GiETDrGmYmhJ2AdhHQAWN0dm8LlCDGTLFg6597kp03zsy9Jza2ZoRg1mrUKAfmjg6mhFCqWbUZAbQEQQ6MUmNYb6M0BAOx4jA4Gg3rONQ00/s72-c/blackberry-tour-9630.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518879849770873877.post-2565101291517330600</id><published>2009-10-20T22:31:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-20T22:31:16.418-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Funny"/><title type='text'>I-Gun Madness!

*$42 parking was included from a deal on expedia.com&lt;br /&gt;
*Very nice aesthetics throughout the hotel, lobby, rooms, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
*Rooms were nice and stylish, comfortable beds&lt;br /&gt;
*Right next to the House of Blues, 10-Pin Bowling and Bin 36&lt;br /&gt;
*Their own Crimson Lounge is nice, though I&#39;m not big on drinking&lt;br /&gt;
*Right by Michigan Ave.&lt;br /&gt;
*Right by Shaws Crabhouse where we had dinner (EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT place to eat)&lt;br /&gt;
*Interactive entertainment lounge with every current video game system hooked up to LCD/plasma tvs, including a rock band instrument set and BEER available...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Cons&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
*We were given a double room, instead of one with a single bed that I booked (we were tired when we got in so we didn&#39;t care... I&#39;m sure this could have been fixed).&lt;br /&gt;
*No baths in our standard room, just a shower, in case you cared or wanted to relax and have one.&lt;br /&gt;
*Kind of dim halls, I didn&#39;t know if this was meant for ambience or not.&lt;br /&gt;
*Interactive game room closes too early (though I&#39;m sure my wife wouldn&#39;t want us playing video games on our hotel).&lt;br /&gt;
*Not much else to say honestly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For an average guy like me, this is a very nice hotel, at a great location, at a good price. &amp;nbsp;I will definitely return here in the future, and recommend it to others, especially if you want to catch a show at the House of Blues right next door. &amp;nbsp;(Pic of the Interactive Game Room below).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Great movie. Now don&#39;t get me wrong. It&#39;s a comedy/horror film. I won&#39;t have any spoilers, but I can let you know what type of movie to expect, and why I liked it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who I would recommend this film to: College Guys, anyone that enjoys guy-humor.&amp;nbsp; Those who probably won&#39;t like this: Most girls, anyone that is looking for a movie with any significant character development or a good plot/storyline&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simply put: Most people would probably say &quot;its a stupid movie&quot; because... it IS a stupid movie. But hey, if you like Starship Troopers like me (a clearly stupid but awesome movie) then you&#39;ll probably like this too. &lt;br /&gt;
But Starship Troopers is better because it&#39;s freaking Starship Troopers...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The movie is narrated by a main character that plays a role similar to Michael Cera in movies: the losery outcast nerd kid that lacks self-confidence and uses his wimpy nature for the sake of the movie&#39;s humor. For the most part they didn&#39;t try miserably to make some stupid crazy twist just for the sake of making it seem like a &quot;good&quot; movie, which makes I am happy about. They never really give you the impression there will be any major twists anyways.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a major overstatement but I could call it a &quot;dream-come-true&quot; zombie movie simply because it had a lot of elements I would want to include if I made a zombie movie. The movie is awesome because it is realistic in the way that &quot;what I would do if I were him&quot; type of movie scenes. I would break stuff if nobody cared. I would not try to be a hero if my friend was getting eaten by 20 zombies. That type of stuff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was not the BEST movie ever, but it was definitely a fun movie worth watching if it seems appealing. If you don&#39;t like this description, don&#39;t waste your time, &#39;cause you probably won&#39;t like it and think &quot;it&#39;s stupid&quot;... &#39;cause it is.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
So it was my first time at Hooters on Friday. I went to the one in St Louis downtown. We went out for my friends birthday. I got the 50 pc. chicken wings and split it with a friend: half hot/half spicy garlic. Those wings were pretty good. The wings were pretty decent in size and completely covered in deep fried batter, which is nasty and delicious at the same time. Not to mention that was supposed to be day 1 of my new diet. Oh and also, the waitresses... always a plus... &lt;a href=&quot;http://3-cities.blogspot.com/2009/10/1st-time-at-hooters.html&quot;&gt;(read more)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Anyways, I&#39;m digressing but don&#39;t care. I actually think I can stick to the diet pretty consistently, but we&#39;ll see what I am eating in 2 weeks.&lt;br /&gt;
So far my typical day is:&lt;br /&gt;
-2 egg whites and 1 cup oatmeal in the morning with a cup of skim milk&lt;br /&gt;
-grilled chicken sandwich for lunch with milk or a vitamin water&lt;br /&gt;
-mid-afternoon protein bar or shake&lt;br /&gt;
-2 grilled garlic chicken breasts with corn/oatmeal for dinner&lt;br /&gt;
-protein shake or bar later&lt;br /&gt;
-avoiding soda&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would post before and after pics, but I doubt anybody wants to see a dude showing skin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But, if you&#39;re interested I can update with progress on the diet/workout. I just want to see if this will actually produce any significant results worthwhile.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I heard on the radio today, while driving home from work, that Massachusetts state politicians may discuss extremely important legislation tomorrow. It will be debated whether to make Fluffernutter the official State Sandwich of Massachusetts. Awesome. During a time of recession, increasing deficits, hospitals making huge cuts, police and firemen being laid off, taxes being raised.... I&#39;m glad my state officials have the time to spend time and energy on such an urgent issue (which actually, I support whole heartedly, who doesn&#39;t like fluffernutter?).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is NOT the first time that fluffernutter has been in the news in MA. In 2006, state Senator Jarrett T. Barrios tried to ban fluff from being served in schools! Are you crazy man!!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Long Live the Fluff. (How appropriate is it that the liberal state of MA is the land of Fluff? haha). &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Hey Troy, if you need an Asian gangsta for a side role in Boondock Saints 3, holla at me!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Never shall innocent blood be shed. Yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river. The three shall spread their blackened wings and be the vengeful striking hammer of god. &quot;&lt;br /&gt;
