Why do they apply for my Russian visa just a couple weeks before I go? This drives me nuts. The travel agent in charge of this says ” you need to be home to get this done” Guess what buddy, I am traveling! You screwed up and you need to rectify it! Really drives me insane. This will be my 4th time to Russia and every time I have traveled to Russia I have received my visa the same day Of travel. It’s so unnerving! Urgh

Scene ( 74 degrees gorgeous New Orleans)
Neighbor: ” Lil you enjoying the rich people’s weather”
Me: ” yes and why exactly is it rich people’s weather?”
Neighbor:” because if it was like this all the time we couldn’t afford to live here.”
Me: ” good point “

It’s the small things in life. My son has a plantars wart on his foot. I know it’s sick but the joy of digging it out and freezing it was just heaven. Lol
Shout out to the New Orleans bar! Go get um’ so nice that Milwaukee and New Orleans are hitting their stride right now

Funny someone I fired contacted Chantel recently. We just laughed. ” Did you respond by saying the bar is doing better then ever and yes I had to fly there to help fix your mess!”
Lee’s wife is having a lot of contractions recently. The little peanut just needs to stay in that belly for two more weeks to be perfect! I told Lee I would fly there if he needed help. I know the feeling when you have no family close to help. Ok positive vibes for Dre, Lee and the little one.
The bars are rocking. I love waking up and reading the manager’s logs. Hot damn.
Leaving for Yekarinsburg ( sp) Russia on April 9th. Russia bar #4

While on the elliptical machine I decided to read a short story called ” An Unexpected Twist.” hysterical. It’s a man’s tale of going through a series of colon operations. I burst out laughing at the gym when he speaks about his Ileostomy. This is when they hang part of your small intestine out of your body and attach it to a bag. Kindly referred to by the author as ” bag of shit” . The part I found so amusing is that a nurse came to him with a magazine called The Phoenix which is the GQ of people living life with their bags of shit. Everyone bbqing, laughing, picnicking. A whole happy community walking around with shit hanging out of their bodies. I know it’s gross but this story made my day. Nothing like the medicinal effects of laughter.

” Bristol Palin wants Obama to call her.” Are you freaking kidding me. I guess she has forgotten that it was Obama who made sure the Democrats didn’t attack her and her family after she got knocked up at 17.
Yesterday Trey (very conservative) called to tell me that he watched the Julianne Moore movie about Sarah Palin. The movie portrays Palin as an uneducated politician. Because he had liked her he then Youtubed the exact interviews and speeches that were shown in the movie. ” OMG Littlin’. The speeches were identical to the movie. She gave an interview to Katie Couric where she didn’t even know the difference between Iraq and Afganistan. She is an idiot!”

I don’t know what’s going on with Kevin and Lee but all of a sudden they want me to personally double check their new locations. One wants me to go to LA and San Diego. The other wants me to go to Lake Tahoe and Hawaii. While its nice to be needed, I have no idea how I can fit all these trips in. Between our new bar opening in Yekaterinburg, Russia in a few weeks, the anniversaries, and Jackson’s schedule I have no idea when I can fit this in. Maybe I will pull Jackson from school and head to Hawaii. I know people must think this is so glamorous . But the traveling really takes its toll on your body. omg, I just remembered my dream last night. Someone gave me the use of their private jet and I was able to take it to Milwaukee. I remember feeling very uncomfortable because I have never been on a private plane but very envious of being able to arrange your travel on a whim. One can dream!

OK starting tomorrow a 100 crunches a day!
“No sex necessary: Women have orgasms at the gym, study shows
By Jeanna Bryner
LiveScience
Women may not need a guy, a vibrator, or any other direct sexual stimulation to have an orgasm, finds a new study on exercise-induced orgasms and sexual pleasure.
The findings add qualitative and quantitative data to a field that has been largely unstudied, according to researcher Debby Herbenick, co-director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at Indiana University. For instance, Alfred Kinsey and his colleagues first reported the phenomenon in 1953, saying that about 5 percent of women they had interviewed mentioned orgasm linked to physical exercise. However, they couldn’t know the actual prevalence because most of these women volunteered the information without being directly asked.

Since then, reports of so-called “coregasms,” named because of their seeming link to exercises for core abdominal muscles, have circulated in the media for years, according to the researchers.
“Despite attention in the popular media, little is known scientifically about exercise-induced orgasms,” the researchers write in a special issue of the journal Sexual and Relationship Therapy released in print this month. [5 Myths About Women’s Bodies]
Herbenick and her colleagues used online surveys to gather their data, which included answers from 124 women who had experienced exercise-induced orgasms and 246 women who reported exercise-induced sexual pleasure. Most of the women, ages 18 to 63 and an average age of 30, were in a relationship or married and 69 percent said they were heterosexual.
The researchers found that about 40 percent of both groups of women had experienced exercise-induced pleasure or orgasm on more than 11 occasions in their lives. Most of the women in the “orgasm” group said they felt some level of embarrassment when exercising in public places.
The “orgasm” group mostly said during the experiences they weren’t having a sexual fantasy or thinking about someone they were attracted to.
Of the women who had orgasms during exercise, about 45 percent said their first experience was linked to abdominal exercises; 19 percent linked to biking/spinning; 9.3 percent linked to climbing poles or ropes; 7 percent reported a connection with weight lifting; 7 percent running; the rest of the first-time experiences included various exercises, such as yoga, swimming, elliptical machines, aerobics and others. Exercise-induced sexual pleasure was linked with more types of exercises than the orgasm phenomenon.”

Hot Damn the bars did freaking incredible this weekend! Holla St Patty’s day. Two years in a row that the Milwaukee police closed down Water street after midnight. We lost 4 hours of revenue! At least the bar did very well before that.
On a serious note, I woke up today thinking that I thought at my age I would have my life in better order. Business is great but personally, I thought I would be married. Thats not on the horizon. I thought that I would have a foundation around me that gave me the emotional support I needed. Jackson’s growing up and giving me less attention. I have nothing personally on the horizon that may be permanent. Its scary to wake up alone and see no light at the end of the tunnel. My whole world has been Jackson and Coyote. No balance. Last time I tried therapy, I came with a list of things that I wanted to say but not dwell on. The therapist said ” I can see that you are result driven but perhaps you need to understand some of the things in your life to proceed.” So the next week I came with another list of things I thought we could talk about that day. Again, I was told ” perhaps one session isn’t enough to really speak about these things.” Well that was my last visit. I proceeded to buy a pen ( nano wand) that you wave around your chakras to help your energy hoping to take a shortcut. But low and behold it didn’t really work . ( I AM NOT JOKING. I STILL HAVE IT. I SLEEP WITH IT SOMETIMES. LOL) . Wow talking helps I am actually laughing right now.

Wake up in the morning wanting it to be bedtime again. Eat right, work out, be healthy and I am more tired then when I drink Coyote Ugly Whisky all day. LOl
bars are on fire! Go New Orleans

Coyote Ugly Whisky scored 90/100 by Chip Dykstra a famous whisky critic !! therumhowlerblog.wordpress.com/whisky-reviews/canadian-whisky/coyote-ugly-canadian-whisky/

Quite from Memphis GM Ernie
” had to throw out a woman during HH. She couldn’t get her song to play and proceeded to call me a fat asshole and Tom a stupid idiot. Lucky for me I am just fat poor Tom is stupid” lol

Shit! Grabbed a Coyote shirt to wear for the bar show today. After I put it on and went to the mirror I realized it was the freaking Beaver Liquor shirt. Years ago when Lee first started he created a new design for a t shirt. This was when he was used to working at nightclubs that objectify women. This design went out to every bar by the hundreds. When I received my sample I was completely disgusted. It said No 69 Beaver Liquor. I pulled every t shirt from all the bars and donated them to an organization in Africa. I was so pissed at Lee. Well as in life it comes full circle . The freakinh t shirt I brought is the beavering it shirt . Hence I won’t be wearing a Coyote shirt today

Austin ! Holla SXSW LOve when I see huge numbers. Heading to Vegas tonIght. Tomorrow is the Coyote Ugly Whisky kick off party

If you read the news lately, some Mormons have been posthumously( after death) baptizing Holocaust victims and other non mormon people. Believing that they will not get into heaven unless they are mormons. ( so nice of them to baptise these people into Mormonism after death. I guess the changes of conversion into this silly religion becomes much higher post mortem.) Recently a famous jewish Noble laureate Elie Wiesel was listed as a person of possible post death mormon baptism as well as the very famous jewish reporter Daniel Pearl. Well Elie is still alive and was outraged because he has no interest in being a Mormon. Daniel Pearl’s parents wrote a very beautiful letter to make sure that their deceased son was not baptized Mormon.
Just nuts. I love Stephen Colbert’s reaction to this;
“Still others view the practice as nothing short of laughable and have made a mockery of what Latter-day Saints view as sacrosanct. The website “All Dead Mormons Are Now Gay” lets users enter the name of a dead Mormon and click the “Convert!” button to make them gay. Comedian Stephen Colbert responded on his show by slicing off the tips of hot dogs, thereby proxy-circumcising dead Mormons to make them Jewish.”
Yes Romney admits that he has done this post humous baptism practice. Yes americans . Think very hard before you vote.

Today Jackson won his school’s annual 1.1 mile race. He finished in 6.52. Pretty good I think. As a parent there is a point where your child’s accomplishments mean more to you then your own.
” Lil when are you opening your next bar?’
“April, but more importantly my son won a race today” lol
Not to jinx it but the bars are on fire!!!
Chantel and I were speaking about college funds. I only have one kid but more then one is virtually impossible to save for. Chantel’s theory for 2 kids. ” one kid has to be a genius and receive a scholarship to college and the other one has got to be so dumb that college isn’t even an issue”
