Here’s what I wore today for St. Patrick’s Day: I would have worn the necklaces and other garb, but this was a little neater and cleaner for work. I was already sort of pushing it by wearing the “show me your shamrocks” t-shirt. I like the “Eat, Drink, and be Irish” button though. Tonight after…
British Knights are Back!
The shoes that every kid used to nag his parents over when I was a child, British Knights (or BK) were discontinued, sometime shortly after the likes of MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice put down the microphone in the ’90s. I don’t know the exact date or time, but they seemed to fade out in…
Put Your Ugly Mug on Anything
That’s right. You can put your ugly mug on anything, even an ugly mug! Or a t-shirt, or a mouse pad [Note: despite popular opinion, mouse pads are not feminine protection for mice], or a calendar, or just about anything else that can be printed on. What’s even better is you don’t have to sacrifice…
You Ain’t Got No Alibi
Why on earth did God decide to put two starkly contrasting things together like cheerleaders and the cheers that they cheer? Cheerleaders are usually pretty hot, and the cheers they do are usually pretty annoying. It’s one of the stranger pardoxes in the universe. Company 81, a clothing company, has given access to their clothing…
Like Johnny Cash, All Black
This past week of my life went by pretty slowly, and enjoyably. The university I work for (and several of my friends still attend) was on Spring Break last week. I still had to work, but it was considerably easier with the students gone. It really felt like I was on my own Spring Break,…
Sparring for Fun and Stress Relief
When you’re frustrated, as I imagine many people are at the end of a long work week – you’re probably looking for some way to work out some stress and then unwind so you can enjoy your weekend. While some people like to do this by hitting the night life, getting drunk, or doing recreational…
My Big Fat Greek Campus
I’ve mentioned before that my day job is at one of the University of North Carolina schools as a Help Desk Analyst. Working on a college campus is fun and at times has it’s advantages. For one thing, a lot of the university’s resources (such as the library and media labs) are available to faculty…
The Point Blank Critic
My friend just recently decided to start his own review blog called The Point Blank Critic. He’s really into trying new kinds of beer, Apple (Mac) computers and products, music, movies, video games, and technology in general. He also happens to be a pretty good cook, and one of my best friends. These last two…
New Nursing Moms: Stay Hip & Feel Stylish
I am a man and a budding blog author. I am not new to writing, but I am trying everyday to expand my perceptions and take on other view points and perspectives on life. A couple women I know are pregnant or have recently had a baby. I could be wrong, but I’m sure that…
Get Off Your Butt and Go Outside!
Yes, I know it’s ridiculously cold outside where some of you live. It’s 19 degrees outside right now where I live. Plus, it’s a week day, so you’re probably at work. But guess what lazies? Tomorrow is Saturday. That means you can go outside then. We forget a lot in the winter time to actually…
