I’m sure some of you know about my site, BarCritic.com and how long I’ve had it. Well be on the lookout soon as I plan on getting this bad boy launched and you will be able to write your own reviews and look up some local bars in your area. I’ll be starting off first with bars in Maryland and slowly expanding as I surely don’t have the time or travel enough lately to write reviews on bars elsewhere.

If you have any suggestions, questions, comments or whatever else, feel free to post a comment and let me know!

Once I get the site up, running and some traffic being fed to it, I’ll be doing featured reviews and maybe even selling some ad spots – if you’re interested, contact me!

You know, I wanted to write out this huge post about how shitty The Preserve @ Owings Crossing is – formally known as Owings Manor, but I’ll keep it short and not so sweet. Now only is this place complete shit, the management is run by a bunch of ignorant fucking assholes who could care a less about anything but their salary.

If you read my post below, you’ll see I posted a shit ton of reviews. Take a look at a few I picked out:

“Worst Apartment complex you can chose…‎”
“Run Away And DONT Look Back‎”
“I have lived here for 10 1/2 months. I am counting down the days until we get the keys to our new apartment. I HATE THIS PLACE.”

And the list goes on. It’s no surprise that this place is a complete and utter fucking mess.

I have lived here for two years come July and you know, the first couple months of living here were ok but here, I’ll just list the problems:

Parking – My girlfriend and I have to park in the other court ALL of the time since all of our court is packed full of cars. We’ve made multiple complaints and nothing happens but I have 2 wheels on the grass, get towed and have to shell out $220 for fucking nothing!

Screen – Our screen broke so we called to have it replaced, they couldn’t get us a new one but brought in another old and bent up screen that doesn’t even shut.

Maintenance – These assholes obviously don’t need much more than a middle school education. They’ve walked directly in on my girlfriend while she was getting ready for work – no knock or ANYTHING. If I was here, I would have literally beaten the living shit out of these guys. My girlfriend could have just got out of the shower and be nude in OUR apartment. I’d love to see them do it again – you’ll have a nice surprise waiting. Needless to say, when I called leasing about it all I got was “sorry they don’t usually do that.” Read the fucking reviews, we’re not the only people having problems with your maintenance men.  And if you want something fixed, be prepared to call multiple times – if they even do anything about it.

Neighbors – I won’t even begin to go into details about this but let’s just say we’ve had criminals, had fights 7am in the morning through 3am, slamming doors, evictions, marijuana smoke and cigarette smoke in the hallways, etc.

Laundry – Yeah, screw all of the money I lost in their broke ass machines and clothes that have been ruined. They lowered their prices finally which is a lot nicer than the $2.25 or 2.50/load they had originally…a little excited..NOT

Car Wash – What car wash? The thing works for a few weeks then someone breaks it, constantly. Also have people from other complex’s coming to use it all of the time.

Gym – Again, what gym? I have been there twice. The first time was ok, nothing special but the second time I went there – all they had was a two 20 year old treadmills, and everything else was BROKE!

Management – they’re all assholes here. The attitude of the employees working in leasing is horrid. They need to be slapped around and realize, I PAY YOUR SALARY YOU FUCKS!

Windows/doors – You’ll see in other reviews, you get such a draft in your house from the doors and windows, your heat is ALWAYS running in the winter. $120+ BGE bill for a one bedroom apartment is INSANE.

Theft – Yup, had valve caps and my hitch cover stolen. Girlfriend has hers stolen too. Not much but still ridiculous.

Graffiti/Destruction – Kids recently thought it would be fun to spray paint the trash cans and balconies of the apartments around here, along with breaking windows in the hallways.

Mailbox – It took multiple calls to get our mailbox fixed. Mailman would not leave the mail since it wouldn’t close so we had to continuously pick it up..what fun!

Trees - This one is interesting. Last summer my girlfriend got sap ALL over her hood and fender from the trees here. Needless to say, they had to repaint her fender. I just got sap all over my Jeep; hood, grille, etc. and the flat out tell me “Park somewhere else.” I love you guys!

All in all – Waterton Residential, Preserve at Owings Crossing, Janile or whatever the hell you name is (you’re an ignorant bitch by the way), and the rest of the employees at leasing and maintenance, FUCK YOU!

I’ve got two weeks left in this place and I am out to my new HOUSE, but these last few weeks will be fun to say the least.

I needed a new GPS navigation for Cari and I so I looked around a bit and ended up buying the Mio Moov 300 GPS from Staples which turned out to be a mistake. I’ve heard a lot about these navigation units and how they’re quite ‘hackable’ with different software and have never really heard anything bad. I paid $179.99 for it from Staples but I found the Mio Moov 500 at Radio Shack today for $149.99 and returned my 300 to Staples. I didn’t go for the 500 since the overall setup of the Mio was not what I liked. I’m sure if I would have spent more time with the Mio Moov 300 and even hacked it, I may have liked it but overall it was frustrating – the battery charge royally sucked, it took me down a one way street, still took forever to find satellites half of the time with its special “SiRFInstantFixII”, lacked a lot of POI’s and that’s just the beginning. On a good note, I did like the option to show me each turn in the directions and how it directed me for the upcoming turns but it was not impressive nor worth the money I paid for it.

So, back to square one and looking for a reliable GPS with text-to-speech that I like. I wish I could actually test half of them before I bought one….and before you say it, some stores have a few that work but most of them around here are demos and nothing but a box.
