Bar reviews this week

I was giving a friend visiting San Antonio advice on where to go out for last weekend and she suggested that since I frequent so many bars to write reviews for them. Last weekend(thursday threw sunday) I went to River Road Ice House(new braunfels), The Red Baron(Alamo Heights), and Boston Pub(Helotes). I'll Start with RRIH, its an awesome place! Always a group of locals in there, and always great bands. Ive been going there for years. My cousins have all worked there, and have made it like home. Even if youre not family you will feel like it. Everyone is friendly, and now that it is remodeled you have a nice backlit bar to look at. Only thing they need is a couple more bar stools! Saturday I had my cousins wedding, and after the recpetion I went with a couple friends to Boston Pub. It is less than 2 miles from my house, and until last weekend I honestly didnt know it was there. Despite it being packed we got immediate service with was awesome. Lots of seating, and the sunken bar helps you get a bartenders attention. Lots of stuff on the walls to look at, and good music make it fun. Monday night(yea, I went out) I hit up the Red Baron. It is a short walk from my buddies house in Alamo Heights, and is one of my favorite bars. Over the past year or so we have established a great relationship with all the bartenders. They are very friendly and not only give good service, but will sit there and carry on a conversation with you. Almost every night the usual crowd is in there, and more than any bar in San Antonio youll find me and my friends getting rowdy. I think I may be doing this every week if yall like the reviews, so give me some feedback!!

Im laying in bed and just watched the movie "X-men origins". You may note the movie doesnt come out for another month, but some generous(disgruntled) employee decided to leak a near perfect copy, and like most things on the interweb, it spread like fire. For the most part the movie was good, most of the special effects werent completely rendered yet, so it lost some points there. Im sure it will be good in theaters. My cousins wedding is coming up this weekend, im pretty pumped! Usually when my family gets together it is a large drinking event. Anyway, I have work at 8, so im out. Hopefully ill remembe rto update this at least once a week. Need some readers to keep me motivated. Follow me on twitter NBMerrill

intro

I recently was inspired to create a blog by a few friends. Usually when I speak my mind people laugh and just brush it off with a "you're crazy" or "whatever". I cannot help but think that there may be other people out there who would maybe get some since of enjoyment, or satisfaction from reading my thoughts. I have wanted to start a journal for awhile, but have terrible handwriting, and do not want my immediate family, or friends finding it. I am going to try my best to be unbiased, and considerate in writing this. I would like to explain in detail some of the more important and defining events and thoughts that define me, especially since I have never told the entire truth to anyone. I feel like I have been on a pretty interesting journey, and have been through quite a bit considering I am only 21 years old. Ill share some of my memories, and thoughts, probably in random order as I remember them. Hope ya'll enjoy
