Junk Food Review: Vol. 2 - The Del Taco in Barstow

Legend has it that one time, millions of years ago, three angels came down from the Heavens for some totally awesome Godly smite against the Moores or something. Anyways when they were totally done kicking non-Christian ass, they were hungry, so they created the saint of Del Taco. But they had to create Del Taco somewhere pure and un-touched ... so they chose Yermo California and instead waited until sometime in the 1960s to make it. Since then, Del Taco has become the unparralleled leader of the fast food mexican world (at least in the West) and continues to do so. Anyways that store in Yermo closed, but the second store ever built still stands, and it stands in the awesome road-stop on the way to L.A. town known as Barstow. This little Del Taco is known by fast food enthusiaists as the best D.T. of all in the chain, so on my way home from an L.A. job interview I took an opportunity to eat at this haven for heart attack-inducing food.
I had actually been to it once before on my way to an Akron/Family concert and remembered that just two hard-shelled tacos were so filled with meat and so delicious, hippy music just sounded thus much better. So yesterday I had the same thing ... and it was glorious.
Two huge tortillas stuffed with chicken, cheese, lettuce and whole, fresh tomato slices put these two tacos up there with your average taqueria shop tacos and then some. And the service of the employees was friendly, the restaurant clean and totally the near 100 percent opposite of nearly every other Del Taco on earth.
Not only that, but I got out of the restaurant only spending a little under $3. Now that's a winner, regardless of whatever economic fuckatude is going on at the moment.
So yeah, thank Saint Del Taco and those angels for the best god damn Del Taco ever and if you're driving to L.A., stop and eat here or you might as well deserve the E.Coli you may get from some place like the Mad Greek or Rosie's Diner.

Over, and over, and over, and over.
Here's that picturelicious post I've been promising but putting off since the inherent chaos of moving has placed me in a constant state of mental fatigue. Ok, enough about me, photo time.




There's soo going to be more pictures. But while you're looking at my shit, please be sure to head over to the Las Vegas Weekly Web site and read my cool-ass story on punk rock radio on the A.M. dial.

... and then I woke up ...

I have never really written on this blog since it's creation more than a year ago. Instead, what was suppose to be a blog for the resurgence of my former music project, has in a way, turned into my un-secured, totally free forum for me to post cool pictures and occasionally take a stab at humor with reviews of commercials, junk food or other assorted things. Ultimately though all those things, whether it be my lame attempts at humor, or my lame attempts at art, it all comes down to one thing ... I keep myself buzy. I've never really known why I do, except for the fact that when I'm busy, the inexplicable feelings of sadness and regret that I have for no real reason, go away. It's a brutal lie I live, hiding from my soul and running from my true feelings, but I do it, and I've spent all of my adult life and most of my teenage life doing it and I do it because its what keeps me going. Its what keeps me from falling off of the margins of society and becoming what we all know so trivially as "another sad fucking story." I've always wanted to break free, but I always feel like I can't. Call me a pussy if you will, but if freedom means the same marginalization from society that I feel like I encountered so long ago, I'd rather be miserable ... because I'm at least miserable for a purpose. But some reason, today I feel different. I feel like there's something out there that is beckoning my call ... but I don't know what it is. And while I sit inside of my ivory emo tower, I am excited. I have hope, for once in my life and I gotta tell ya, its scaring the fucking shit out of me, and I don't know how I'm going to handle it. For an emotional control freak, that's scary enough.
Yeah, I know I'm being ambigious, but that's the point because I don't even know. What I am certain though is this, I took a huge step today in trying to rid myself of my nagging self doubt, and I gotta tell you something, it felt greater than anything I've felt in a very, very long time.

Junk Food Review: Vol. 1. - The "Angry" Whopper
As a service to all one of my readers, I have embarked on a mission to subject myself to torture for your enjoyment. So, welcome to the junk food review where I review the junk food I eat on a very rare occasion.
So enter the Angry Whopper,
A two-charbroiled patty whopper topped with sweet peppers, jalapenos, jack cheese and onion rings, the angry whopper isn't nearly as great as a regular whopper, but it's suppose to be angry and spicy and whatnot ... only problem is it's about as spicy a glass of orange juice ... except topped with onion rings, jack cheese and not nearly as fulfilling, completely unlike orange juice.
The other weird part of the burger was it's strange mayo/special sauce that tastes strangely sweet, like something that Jack in the Box would use ... only problem, when I'm eating a fucking spicy burger, it should not be sweet, it should be spicy, leaving me tasting only one thing ... burning ... and the irony taste of blood that I cough up as my body slowly metabolizes the meat-laden gut bomb and goes into anaphalactic, caloric overload shock. All I tasted after this burger, was dissapointment ... and blood.
Pros: two charbroiled pattys, onion rings, jack cheese
Cons: Weird sauce, not hot, forgettable, made me want to die.
2.5 out of 5 fatty stars.
