Dear Mr. Monopoly Man

I'd like to first and formost adress the fact that I am a big fan. I love your game and I always win. If only this was the case in everyday life...

I have been watching you Mr. Money Bags for some time now, and I have come to the conclusion that you have a lot of money. You're a little on the short side but with that much money you might be able to get leg extensions.... anyway, my point is I am in a bind and would lik your services. Please leave $700 under my pillow.

PS
If I roll doubles can you give me twice as much money?

Love,
Ivan

Bank of America on K St. and 3rd Ave. in Chula Vista

Banking at one point in your life isas inevitable as dying nowadays. True.  Working at a bank is considered a very serious/professional and dult matter. Also True.

 Banks are usually mundane, and for the most part uninteresting.

This specific bank sets all of these stipulations afire. hah

This particular branch is the most socially fascinating banking institution
I have ever had the pleasure of entering. haha  When you first walk in right off the bat, I get 4 different looks from 6 different women. Yes women, there are very few men that work here. haha They range from the innocent curiosity expression, to the hungry comission driven look, to the I-mix-business-with-pleasure smile. haha! Every teller, every, accunt specuialist every manager has a look about them like theyre up to something!

So I walked in there on Saturday morning and noticed the following:

I noticed this guy opening an account obviously but what struck me as weird was he was sitting leaning forward uncomfortable close to the employee, who had THAT smile on her face! which immediately madee smile. haha yes, I live for this!

An angry woman at one of the tellers, while the teller wore a smug expression  that made me uncomfortable though I had a hunch that the nagry woman wasnt the innocent victim she claimed to be.

A man wearing shorts 12 inches above the knee tying his shoes. EW!

When I got in line I was next to a very ood looking young man that kept glancing at his expensive lookingn watch. so the cute girl in front of him (looked about 17) asks him where he got his watch and he replies with, "hney this watch is worth morethan your daddy's car" and turns around. I mean WTF??? haha douche!

after getting my business over with I was on my way out and I stoped and thought to myself, This is one F$%#ed up bank!!!

Entourage HBO Series

Some of you might now of a TV series called Entourage on HBO. It's in its 7th season and is notorious fr a ridiculous amount of cameos.  The show follows the lives of 5 guys who's lives are bound together by the career of Vinny Chase. Vinny's best friend Eric or "E" is his manager, his other friend Turtle used to be his driver but now in the series he's branched out and doing his own thing and his older brother Johnny Drama. Where to start with Drama... He's a ridiculous exaggeration of every human emotion possibe haha. the 5th guy is BY FAR my favorite  Ari Gold. (Jeremy Piven) Vince's booking agent.  Their lives basically tear up hollywood and are super unrealistic but I think everyonelikes watching it and thinking of the posibilities if they were rich and famous and were able to keep their friends.... Its an amazing show, but I missed it last night so now I have to download it... ahaha Anyone doing anything exciting tonight?

Good Morning Milo Song Of The Week "Win Her"

Here's a part of my blog where once a week I will be dissecting a different song from my band's album Through The Chaos and The Clatter. Up first, is one of my favorites, Win Her

Close up, let me set the scene,illusions

And insanity exactly what this game needs
Bet's placed on the Blond 2 to 1, you'll pull it off.
But, is this how we find true love?
Too good, fed up with guys like you.
You would think she is more clever
Than the learning that you wield just to win.
It's no use, you are well versed in charm.
Push back what you're going to do, focus on a way to...


Try and catch her eye, every movement calculated.
She don't even know, that she's flipping her hair.
You're talking to her friends, so she doesn't feel to special.
Now the trap is set, and you're leading her in.

This one last prize is pushing the envelope, the envelope.
She's in your sights, this one last prize, your out to "win her"
This one last prize is pushing the envelope, the envelope.
She's in your sights, this one last prize, your out to "win her"


Sit back, play on her jealousy
Until the moment you deliver the attention that she's wanting to hear
Cut loose, the conversation drops,
Leave her with her heart in hand talking with her friends


Now you've caught her eye this is more than calculated
She goes to freshen up, but she doesn't need it.
Your almost at her back, had to get her alone now
It's you whose chasing after, careful what you're after!



It's almost as if she's already loving you,
It's almost as if she's taking bets too!

This one last prize is pushing the envelope, the envelope.
She's in your sights, this one last prize, your out to "win her"
This one last prize is pushing the envelope, the envelope.
She's in your sights, this one last prize, your out to "win her"

Lyrics
Have you ever met "that guy"? You know what guy I'm talking about. The guy you KNOW is full of $#it yet he always seems to be able to get the girl?  This song is about that guy.  This song is a sarcastic punch in the face to that guy. At the beginning you learn about his crazy lifestyle and his obvious liking for blondes ;].  Throughout the whole song there is a continuing alternating theme between "This guy is so good hes a douche" and "This guy doesnt know what he's getting into this time". I love it because it more accurately describes a human's feelings. You know, mixed emotions? Like when you see the donkey show down in Tijuana and you're grossed out yet you think it's hilarious and can't stop watching? Nah, I've never been there either. Back to the song, the bridge completely contradicts the verses by having very little lyrical content yet it is CRITICAL to the story. Pay close attention. "It's almost as if she's taking bets too!" BOOM, what happened? it looks like our player got played son! He went through his system teasing her, feeding her, smiling, poking fun at not realizing he was not the top of the food chain here.

This song is fun, I almost wish we had room for more lyrics don't you? Don't you want to find out what happened? I mean I sure as hell do! I wanna see this guy get owned! haha no, not really, but still, it'd be fun to know. This guy by the way *hint *hint is very importand in GMM. You will hear of this guy again, in other songs. If you have any questions relating to the post or to my blog in general feel free :]



Love,
J. Ivan

My first blog!

Why a blog? Why me?

Simple.

I have too many thoughts on too many subjects and by writing them down(or typing more like) and publishing them makes me feel validated and like what I think matters. Yes, blunt, but also honest. That is my way as you will soon see if you keep up with me.

As a disclaimer, there will be times when I will get worked up and say some heated and cotroversial things. Just take it, accept it, and enjoy it. This is MY blog not yours, though you are welcome here any day. :]

This blog will also serve as a notice board of sorts on what my band Good Morning Milo is up to. I'll start doing some cooler stuff once I get a little better at using this so called "blogspot" haha.  Anyone wanna show me? Anywho, feel free to comment here. If you're from San Diego, or Orange County or anywhere else and you'd like to grab some coffee, I'll say no because I dont drink coffee much haha. But send me a message or comment or what not.

PS If I say anything that offends you, dont take it personally Im not calling you out personally and also get over it! I'm not your left wing politically correct president!

Love,

J. Ivan Cabalo
