			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lately I&#8217;ve decided to expand my business expertise outside of the SEO and Children&#8217;s Music industries to advantage of a once in a lifetime modeling opportunity.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right it&#8217;s &#8220;back of head&#8221; modeling!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This one goes out to the one and only &#8220;Pub and Kitchen&#8221; less than a stones throw from my apartment.  I used to eat there three times a week.  I will continue to eat there three times a week.</p>
<p>I also gave them one star&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>My Yelp Review</strong></p>
<p>Now let me set something straight here before I begin &#8211; I eat at this place AT LEAST three times a week.  They have excellent food, excellent beer, and from what chicks tell me the wine gets them drunk.  I&#8217;m probably going there this evening.</p>
<p>So why would I award 1 star?</p>
<p>Item 1: Blue Cheese</p>
<p>I&#8217;m fairly sure reducing the potion sizes of blue cheese to a thimbleful size container has done little to impact their bottom line, but it sure has impacted what is generally an excellent buffalo wing experience.  These blue cheese portions are pathetic&#8230;</p>
<p>I find myself not only ordering extra blue cheese when I initially order, but ordering 2 more &#8220;extra blue cheeses&#8221; during the rest of my meal.  That&#8217;s 4 blue cheeses people.  I also have a feeling they water their blue cheese down&#8230;but I am still awaiting lab tests.  Just give the people what they want &#8211; a normal sized container of blue cheese.</p>
<p>Item 2: Sorry you can&#8217;t eat here you just ate</p>
<p>After consuming a customary order of the appetizer known as buffalo wings I was delighted to find that 7 of my friends were looking for a place to eat.</p>
<p>&#8220;Come to Pub and Kitchen!&#8221;, I yelled.</p>
<p>Delighted I could share this treasure of a place I went to the hostess to make a reservation.</p>
<p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t take reservations&#8221;, she told me.</p>
<p>Thats fine with me &#8211; so I await their arrival and then once the group of 8 is here (including myself) I ask for a table.</p>
<p>&#8220;Your friends can sit down, but I just saw you eat so you can&#8217;t sit down&#8221;, she tells me.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve only had an appetizer and I&#8217;m sure I will consume at least 3 more beers in addition to probably another appetizer&#8221;, I lamented.</p>
<p>No dice.  I was offered a spot at the bar while my friends dined.  Yeah&#8230;a spot at the bar while my friends eat in the backroom.  Sounds lonely</p>
<p>Needless to say we all went somewhere else.</p>
<p>I will still eat here, but hopefully someone from P&amp;K reads this and knocks some sense into a certain hostess and blue cheese preparer.</p>
<p>Hopefully they don&#8217;t trace this back to me&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I usually use my digital recorder to try and take what they call &#8220;upskirt&#8221; or &#8220;publicly inappropriate&#8221; recordings of women on public transportation.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t need photo&#8217;s to get off &#8211; I get by on the soft ruffling of underwear, the sound of two meaty thighs slapping together as their owner waddles to McDonalds, the faint hiss of a woman passing gas&#8230;</p>
<p>What can I say I&#8217;m an audiophile&#8230;</p>
<p>In other news here&#8217;s an original song I wrote aptly entitled &#8220;Luke&#8217;s Song&#8221;</p>
<p>The amount of sweat-slicked &#8220;shirts vs. skins&#8221; band practice that led up to this is negligible, no, nonexistent.</p>
<p>Stars include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Me: Guitar</li>
<li>Greg &#8220;CraigBlast&#8221; Blass: Keys</li>
<li>Mike &#8220;Mic&#8221; Cutler: Drums</li>
<li>Chris &#8220;Hey My Name is Renfro&#8221; Renfro: Bass</li>
</ul>
<p>Without further ado, get ready for &#8220;Luke&#8217;s Song&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No matter how fake, stupid, and unattractive you can make a Craigslist Missed Connection these days there are always some trick-ass fools who respond earnestly in hopes of finding that smoking hipster wall-flower they&#8217;ve been waiting for.</p>
<p>Take for instance this post.  Do people really this this is real?  Did I write this?  All will be answered in due time.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><em>Me: Sitting on Wall &#8211; You: Walking bike through park &#8211; w4m &#8211; 28 (Rittenhouse Square)</em></strong></p>
<p><em>I was perched up on my usual wall with plumes of American Spirits Menthol smoke wafting up through my sun damaged hair. I was wearing my usual giant sunglasses and trying my best to look aloof and generally uninterested in my surroundings.</em></p>
<p><em>Then you walked by.</em></p>
<p><em>You were the first guy that day to look into where you thought my eyes were and smile. I lit up seeing that perfect smile, then lit up another American Spirit.</em></p>
<p><em>You were wearing shorts and one of those quirky dude hats. I was wearing jean shorts.</em></p>
<p><em>Hit me back!</em></p></blockquote>
<p>And here is the live link: http://philadelphia.en.craigslist.org/mis/2489435991.html</p>
<p>Within moments I already got public responses such as:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Trying to make smoking look glamorous was so 1980s. </em></p></blockquote>
<p>Yeah I am trying to be glamorous man! Where have you been!</p>
<p>If anyone has seen a hipster lately they are embodying the 1980&#8242;s as hard as they freakin&#8217; can.</p>
<p>The real payoff here though are the &#8220;private&#8221; responses.  Have I mentioned again this is totally fake?</p>
<p>Hopefully the following people won&#8217;t find my website. Names (not pictures) have been withheld to protect the desperate.</p>
<p>My first response from an email simply entitled &#8220;Bike&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p><em>hey, I THINK ITS ME!! can you describe &#8220;me&#8221; alittle more&#8230;like my bike (color) or what I was wearing&#8230;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>I am wary to respond as he&#8217;ll instantly have my real email address.  That could destroy my hipster cred.</p>
<p>But the best response so far seems to be from a future version of a certain piano player I know.</p>
<p>Deviously entitled &#8220;I would dare&#8230;&#8221;, it really shines a light on the rigors of modern dating and missed connecting.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>I am not the bike rider in the park. But there&#8217;s something in you that attracts me. I know how boring and unstimulating the world can get, but I think I also know where your passion lies. It&#8217;s beyond the plumes of American Spirit smoke and your jaded experiences. If you email me back and meet me in person, you&#8217;ll be transformed with desire.</em></p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://lukemarchie.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/future_greg.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-284" title="future_greg" src="http://lukemarchie.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/future_greg.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="480" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m tempted myself to email him back.  It&#8217;s been too long since I&#8217;ve been transformed with desire.</p>
<p>What really stands out is this (possibly blind?) guy has already connected with me on an entirely emotional level.  It goes BEYOND the plumes of smoke, BEYOND my jaded experiences.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m overdue for a serious emotional connection and it&#8217;s about time I focused on me&#8230;</p>
