::Welcome to FRICANO'S::

"One pepperoni pizza..."

I am kind of excited because this will be my first ever food blog. So this past weekend I was in the town of Hamilton, MI with a couple of friends helping out a friend film a football promo that he is currently working on. It was a Friday night after a high school football game that we go out to eat. We went there around 11pm. My friend suggested this pizza place called Fricano's. He mentioned that this place served the best thin crust pizzas you will ever have...in Michigan at least.
"One White-Russian please..."

The entrance to the place is a big red door (sorry no photo of the entrance). When you enter inside it seems like you are in a maffia meeting place. There are three sections to Fricano's: the first section is the one without the bar, the second section is the next room with the bar, and the third section is the upstairs banquet hall (again sorry no photos of the rooms).


Everyone gets their own separate full-size-pan pizza. You could order from several different toppings: pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, anchovies, and etc. or any combination of those toppings. My friends both ordered a pepperoni pizza. I ordered a combination of sausage and mushrooms. The taste of this thin crust pizza was amazing! You would have to eat it to believe it. I couldn't believe I ate a whole pizza - it was ridiculous. That sums up my time with awesome friends at Fricano's. Also, remember to bring cash or check because they do not accept cards. Fricano's pizza is located in downtown Holland, MI.

"O Magnum Mysterium" [Song of the DAY!]



This is one very beautiful, amazing, emanating, breathtaking, and most awesome song! The entire song is so beautiful from the very first breathe to the very last note of silence. If you truly love music, you will love this fine masterpiece. In my own words, this piece is "DOPE-AH-LICIOUS!" Just listen and imagine...

::listen.imagine.sense::

*A special shout out to my awesome friend DJ Harkey (aka the SABOTUER) for introducing me to this song via Facebook!

On the drive to work...

[The NEW school Joy Williams]
*photo taken from Google Images
So I do not usually listen to the radio, but I am currently driving a car without a tape or CD player...it is insane!!! Only the radio is available to me while in the car. At first, I flipped back and forth between 105.3 and 104.5, then switched to 105.7, and did a rotation of the three channels. Finally I decided to check what was on 88.9 Way-FM which is a Christian radio station (which I don't usually listen to, but between the three other radio stations there wasn't anything good to listen to).

The first song that they played was an upbeat, dance track (I wish I knew the name and artist of the song) which suprised me because I would usually hear them play contemporary stuff. Well the next track they played was a contemporary Christian Rock song: Switchfoot - "Awakening". After that, the next song they played was an Indie track which it also suprised me a little bit. At first I thought it was a Feist track, but in fact it was Joy Williams track.

For a moment I was in a state of awe and amazement. My morning turned from regular to musical WOW (yeah that's right)! Her style has changed! She has gone from contemporary to indie; it is incredible and I like it...a lot! This also goes to show that electronic produced songs are becoming popular in the music world. Here is the Joy Williams track they played
:
Now compare this to a Feist track:
Now compare the NEW school Joy Williams with the OLD school Joy Williams:

"My Saving Grace" [Song of the DAY!]








ATB feat. Aruna - "My Saving Grace"



Is reach into the heart of you
Is as simple and true as the love you inspire in me
So let me fall

If I go, would you wait? Would you wander
Would you know what I’m thinking and why I’m ashamed
Of the girl I am and the stranger that I became
Hold tight to the heart of an angel you’ll never know
Cuz her face looks more like mine
And it keeps you going just knowing I’m here tonight

So let me fall, let me love youLet me free your inner child
Let me sit inside your silence
Let me ease the hurt you hide
Cuz I’m alive, I’m unlucky
I’m a line too fine to trace
But I could be your consolation
If you’d be my saving grace

My wild world is the shape of a sound that can’t be heard
But it rings when I’m unraveled by you
There’s a quiet storm and my skin gets torn and I wake brand new
Higher and brighter than yesterday
But I’m still a dark, mysterious night
When the sun descends and the moon leads you to my side

So let me fall, let me love you
Let me free your inner child
Let me sit inside your silence
Let me ease the hurt you hide
Cuz I’m alive, I’m unlucky
I’m a line too fine to trace
But I could be your consolation
If you’d be my saving grace

Just reach into the heart of you
Is as simple and true as the love you inspire in me
So let me fall

All I wanna do is reach into the heart of you
All I wanna be is as simple and true as the love you inspire ïn me
So let me fall, let me fall

"Falling Hard" [Song of the DAY!]

*From their "Divided By Night" (2009) album

I am running,
I will meet you halfway.
When I get there will you be waiting for me?
I am scared,
that you don't feel the same.
And after all,
just how much can I take?

[Chorus]
Heaven help me, I say I'm in love, I'm all in love with you.
I can't help myself, I've fallen down, I'm falling hard for you.

I can't sleep,
and I don't know what to say.
What we want isn't always what we need.

[Chorus]
Heaven help me, I think I'm in love, I'm all in love with you.
I can't help myself I've fallen down, I'm falling hard for you.

For you.

Do do do do do.

I don't wanna be by myself. I want you here, I want you here

Do do do do do.

Heaven help me now.
