Making a White Russian

a.k.a. The Caucasian, The Silky Milky or "What The Dude Drinks!"

A well made White Russian is by far my favorite drink in the world the problem is that most places make horrid tasting White Russians. Agreed, I first drank one after watching "The Big Lebowski", but over the years I believe that I have cultured a taste for the little bastards.

Ingredients:

• Vodka (preferably Svedka Vanilla Vodka, Absolut Vanilla Vodka or Belvedere Polish Vodka)
• Kahlua or Coffee Liquor (try Godiva Coffee Liquor or Patron Coffee Liqueur XO)
• Cream (preferably half and half or you can substitute Bailey's Irish Cream instead of milk for a much stronger drink)

Preparation:

Take a chilled glass (it is important that the glass be cold for a perfect White Russian) and throw some ice in, then pour the vodka in (I'll make a note on the ratios in a bit), add the coffee liquor and finally cream or Baileys. Now shake. DO NOT STIR!

Note: when I say "parts" I'm talking shots. You dig?

Now about the ratios; a traditional White Russian is one part vodka, one part Kahlua and one part cream. But, lightweights usually prefer a little more cream (one part vodka, one part Kahlua and three parts cream). Then there are the rest of us who want to go all out, if you are a vodka connoisseur you could go two parts vodka, one part Kahlua and one part cream. The problem with that is that some people claim that the taste of vodka overwhelms the drink, now my solution to that is by getting the biggest, tallest damn glass around (like a lemonade glass) and pouring in two parts vodka, one part Kahlua and three parts cream, this ensures that the drink is still a White Russian and that it packs more of a punch.

My favorite? Two parts vodka, two parts Kahlua and two parts cream. tastes like heaven.

Now that you've made the drink you could decorate it by throwing some chocolate flakes over it or (if you've got a brave palate) some mint leaves. Disgusting you say, I fear not.

There you have it ladies and germs, my guide on making White Russians.

Now go little grasshopper, mix a drink, sip and be merry.

I know christmas is over but...

I just couldn't resist posting this picture....

Ain't nothing like a Zaireeka party!

I would love to hold a Zaireeka Party.... Just get four cars together and listen to all four CDs at the same time.... Hopefully under the influence...

There are few things in the world better than a Flaming Lips album...

Educate yourself: Zaireeka

On another note...

Despondancy is drowning my friends... along with physical ailments of the body.... is this a good thing?... i think not!

Time Shrinebuilder-Civil Divorce

sound : 777 9311 - Morris Day and The Time

Blake Fielder-Civil is seeking a divorce from Amy Winehouse.... I'm not the type to discuss pop-shit on this thing but I seriously hope this goes through.... Amy might straighten up a bit afterwards if you ask me... I really don't want her to die yet, there's a lot more music left inside her....

check it out - Shrinebuilder

Now for that, I can't wait...

"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" - Hunter S. Thompson

sound :Electric Feel - MGMT

We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like “I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive. . . .” And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming: “Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?”

Almost done....

Today is one of the last days of my present life.

Happiness abound!

The future...

sound : "Alone And Unaware, the Landscape Was Transformed In Front of Our Eyes" - Red Sparrowes

scares me.... a lot...

everybody's slowly getting on track but i seem like the permanent train-wreck... people are moving on, living life, getting actual jobs and i, i go swing dancing, i listen to more music, i sell sunglasses... what i earn is not enough to pay my way out of my mistakes....

the same old anger and confusion is setting in again...

i hate feeling like this...

Reckoner
Can you take it with you
Disavow the pleasure

You were not to blame for
Bittersweet distractors
Dare not speak his name
Did I cater to all you
All your needs?

Because we separate
it ripples our reflections
Because we separate
it ripples our reflections

Reckoner

Did I cater to all you,
All your needs?

Pensive, I await my trial...

Speak your troubles

sound : Someday - My Bloody Valentine

you get into your car, your brains a mess.... the day's running in your head, fresh, looped... like a cassette tape.... you decide to yourself, "i'm going to leave the windows closed... it gives me my own space..."

you pick up a familiar cd case.. .it's pink in color.... open it, put the cd in.... turn up the volume knob to 35.... you wait a few seconds for it to load....

aaah....

the crashing drums, the reverb drenched guitars.... you smile and start driving.... you feel the beats in your chest, you feel the seatbelt vibrating... the rear-view mirror is shaking... you feel pressure, it's like a tonne of weight on your shoulders.... you feel like your eardrums are going to pop... you think to yourself, "is this too loud?"...

you have a vision of all the windows of your car blasting outwards....

you open the windows in the fear of you losing your hearing... the music/noise bursts out like a hundred billion bees stinging everyone in the vicinity... the seatbelt still rattles against your chest, the rear-view mirror still vibrates.... you look to your right and this man looks at your car like you are crazy....

you look down at the passenger seat at the pink cd case, you look up, smile at yourself in the mirror and continue on your way home... swaying....



Sleep like a pillow
Downward and
Where she won't care
Anyway anywhere

Soft as a pillow
Touch her there
Where she won't dare
Somewhere

Sleep like a royal subject
Think that you grew
Stronger there

Speak your troubles
She's not scared
Soft like there's silk
Everywhere

Sleep is a pillow
Come where she won't dare
Anyway there

Look in the mirror
She's not there
Where sh won't care
Somewhere

You view the world differently when you are feeling apathetic.

phallic symbols for kids...

sound : Flower Sun Rain - Boris

ever notice how jack sparrow twirls his moustache when he starts getting kinda randy with the chick on the island (while consuming copious amounts of rum)?... doesn't it seem symbolic of his "rising libido" (so to speak)?.....

leave it to disney to teach kids the ways of life.... :D

I am...

sound : Wonderwall - Oasis

* single again
* angry at the world
* angry at myself
* bored shitless
* most likely an insomniac
* watching everything shatter
* listening to "(What's The Story) Morning Glory" and my heart beat
* going to go to sleep after this
* loving my friends more and more every minute of every day
* missing some of said friends... a lot
* kinda hungry, but I'm too lazy to grab a bite to eat
* going to go now
* hoping that the next time I do this, I will spew something more profound

Rob Gordon moment # 63

sound : Dying Song - John Frusciante

i feel like watching movies.... not a movie... i want to watch movies.... i'm feeling a hunger for existentialist/absurdist/complex erotic/depressing flicks.... language doesn't really matter actually... i just want some mood movies to sink into.... i've kinda compiled a list (like i dont do that much huh?.. the rob gordon in me is awake...) and some of these movies i've already seen.... but some of these i really want to see just because it was done by people i admire and ive read plenty of good and bad things about them.... and sometimes the bad reviews are the ones that make me want to listen to a certain album or watch a certain movie..... here's the list....

Y Tu Mama Tambien
The Brown Bunny
Buffalo 66
Sex and Lucia

Frivolous Lola

This amorous feeling.....

sound : Did You Ever Look So Nice - The Samples

This unending feeling of loneliness is fake.... even if the people i love are far away i know that they care... and i care too....

i may not have seen somebody for a few days/months/years.... that's ok... that's just how life deals its cards... we play our hand and hope for the best.... school, work and money are unimportant.... all that really matters is love....

this may seem like oe of the usual depressing posts but it isn't... i am actually celebrating the fact that even though i live a life of constant let-down there are people who can put a smile on my face just by saying "hello!"

all my life i've had friends take care of me.... even now... those friends are the ones i'm most grateful for, because without them i'd be drowned in a huge pile of shit...

to each and every one of my friends, wherever you are... i love you...

:)

that is all...

"Superstar"

(Performed by Sonic Youth, Written by the Carpenters)

Long ago
and oh so far away
I fell in love with you
before the second show
your guitar
it sounds so sweet and clear
but you're not really there
it's just the radio

don't you remember you told me you love me baby
you said you'd be coming back this way again baby
baby baby baby baby oh baby
I love you, I really do

loneliness, is such a sad affair
and I can hardly wait
to be with you again
what to say
to make you come again
come back to me again
and play your sad guitar

don't you remember you told me you love me baby
you said you'd be coming back this way again baby
baby baby baby baby oh baby
I love you, I really do

don't you remember you told me you love me baby
you said you'd be coming back this way again baby
baby baby baby baby oh baby
I love you, I really do...
