Thai Sea Lounge Williamsburg, Brooklyn
I actually went to this restaurant years ago, so things may have changed, but this is my take on Brooklyn's Thai Sea restaurant. For some reason I forgot to upload this post.
It was a cold and gloomy night and I found myself waiting in front of Sea a Thai restaurant located in Williamsburg Brooklyn. The restaurant was very crowded and the crowd seemed young and hip. The restaurant was trendy and had chairs hanging from the ceiling, flat screens, and LOUD dance/pop music. The main attraction of the restaurant had to be the gigantic Buddha statue sitting behind a coy pond. The decor in the restaurant was modern, and pretty, but since it was very dark it was hard to take it all in. After an hour wait our party of 15 was finally seated. The menu was very easy to read and prices were excellent. The menu did not boast anything out of the ordinary, so I decided to try the Volcano Chicken. I thought it would be very spicy, so I assumed it would be right up my alley. Conversation at our table was very limited due to the LOUD music, and talking from other loud patrons. The drink list was very short and I found myself very displeased with the drink I ordered. The drink was very grainy and strong. I found myself sipping my beau's drink and poured what was left in my glass into his. A good 5 minutes the waiter came around with a plate of food and, I noticed he was carrying a gravy bowl full of fire (one of the coolest things I think I ever seen in my life.) He places my chicken on the table and pours the liquid fire over it. He should have warned me so I could have taken a picture, but he seemed to be in a rush. Needless to say it fizzled out before my bud could snap a flick I was just about ready to chow down, but I noticed something was missing. He forgot to give me a fork. *In my head I thought about reenacting the joke from "Coming to America" but decided against it. He goes to the kitchen and comes back with 15 plastic forks. What the hell am I going to do with a plastic fork and a half of baked chicken?
I believe the restaurant would be a nice experience if you go with a smaller party, and not so late in the evening. They also charge you a 20% tip for groups, which I do not think our servers deserved.
The food was just okay and the trek out to Brooklyn was long and hard (haha! that’s what she said)

What Grinds My Gears
1. People who place hot sauce and ketchup in their refrigerators. Why would you add a cold condiment to hot food? It confuses my mouth.
2. People who stand directly in front of train doors, and get upset when you push pass them. MOVE TO THE SIDE IDIOT.
3. People who can't take a hint. I was on the train last week studying for my psych test, when a 50 something guy tries to strike up a convo with me. I had my headphones on, a gazillion papers in my hand and a mean mug on my face. If that doesn’t say leave me the hell alone, I don’t know what does. I guess I'll just have to buy a shirt that says I Heart Murdering Strangers; maybe I won't be bothered then.
4. People who care more about animal rights than human rights. The will all die alone with their many cats.
5. Hipsters!!! (Need I say more?)
6. How Mr. Schuester never lets Mercedes shine on Glee. Rachel Berry is a JERK!!!
TV
I'm the biggest TV junkie there is, so I decided to give you a brief rundown of some of my favorite shows.
Dexter's (America's Favorite Serial Killer) seasons always started out really slow to me, but it will kick you in the balls in the end. I have not seen a season of Dexter that has topped season 4 with the Trinity Killer, but I'm still an avid watcher. I've been a fan of Michael C. Hall since he played on Six Feet Under. He does a grat job as an emotionless father/bed splatter expert/big brother and all around weird guy. I often wonder how some people on the show can see he's clearly a pyschopath while others can't
Boardwalk Empire is in its second season, and I love it. The characters are very layered and can have you cheering for them one minute, and cursing at them the next. The show involves a lot of talking and I wouldn't recommend the show for those that need a lot of action. Steve Buscemi does a bang up job as Enoch Nucky Thompson Atlantic City's Treasurer. While many of the characters seem him as greedy and egocentric, I see him as endearing and misunderstood. (Not to mention sexy) The HBO series is set in the 1920's and is filmed in New York City. Most of the footage is filmed in Brooklyn and a beach in Staten Island. The series has some major Hollywood backing with the likes of Martin Scorsese as Director, and Mark Whalberg as producer. (He seems to produce everything on HBO) The show has four more episodes to go before it season finale, so hurry up and watch!!! Again I don’t want to give a whole lot of info on these shows, because I’m not a spoiler, but check it out Sundays @ 9pm.
More Show Reviews to come!!!

Update!!
Whelp! A lot has changed since I started this blog. I know longer with children, and shifted to working with ladies with domestic violence issues. Before you all give a round of applause for my courageous and selfless work with the women STOP!!
I also started attending NYU (New York University) I applied on a whim and got in. Can we say life, and credit changing lol! I don't even want to think about my student loans. In the 3 shorts months I've been here I've learned, so much. College is not for everyone, but you won’t know that until you try. It took me a couple of years and tries, but I'm content with my decision.
Also things are going very well for my family. I currently have two sisters that are pregnant. They both wanted this for many years, and I'm glad God has blessed them. I still do not want kids, but I will spoil the crap out of my niece/nephew.
With that being sad let’s get into some fun stuff!!!
