You may think you're reading something you're not supposed to, but this is a blog- everything written here is intentional, and you shouldn't feel embarrassed to read it if I wasn't embarrassed to write it. This is me, uncensored. Welcome to the crazy.
As I was walking through the Commons this morning, I saw a group of people staring a tree. But upon further nosiness, I saw that they were all looking at 2 squirrels who appeared to fighting. I have a feeling though, that they were fighting to have sex...and they had an audience. Gotta love Americans for staring at the fornicating wild kingdom.
Holy shit. Finally, a company has learned to give a consumer a sensory experience in none other than a movie theater! Check out the company Cinescent. They create scents that emanate through a theater while a commercial is playing. So you smell what you see. Damn me for not thinking of this first!
14 months in the making, 42 countries, and a cast of thousands. Stride gum found this guy and offered to pay for his travels if he made a video of himself dancing in every country he visited. Their mantra is that the flavor lasts ridculously long. This video is a great piece of creativity that connects the notion of longevity to a human emotion; happiness.
1 bottle Chardonnay (I used Bogle) 1 nectarine, roughly chopped 1 orange, halved, with rind kept on 1 pear, roughly chopped approx. 20 grapes, halved 2 splashes Grenadine couple bites of cantaloupe (optional)
Mash in everything, but keep the fruit in tact. Let the mixture soak overnite. The next day, add:
1 bottle Charonnay (yes, another bottle) 1 2-liter bottle of Sprite Zero (can use regular Sprite, but not sure about the sweetness factor) 1 bottle Magners Cider
Was so delicious you have no idea. I know that typically Sangria calls for a sweeter wine, but I think a nice dry white worked really well. The longer you keep the mix in the fridge, the sweeter it gets. Just remember, the fizzy parts go flat, so hold off on adding the Sprite and cider if you'd like the wine and fruit to soak longer.
Pairs extremely well with chips and salsa/guacamole.
Note to all guys out there: If you meet a girl, exchange numbers and hang out with her, here's a word of advice: It's easier to just say you're not interested, than to make up a lie about how you're in a serious relationship but strayed. You "admitting" that you have a "girlfriend" portrays an even weaker character- you may mean this: "hey, I'm an asshole for almost cheating on my girlfriend, my bad," but we take it as this: "damn, I wish I knew who his girlfriend is, cuz she should know that her man is cheating on her." Guys, just take note, I'm tryin' to help you out. Keep the little integrity you have and be honest!
There's an amazing band that I've loved for years named Joydrop. Their songs are still unavailable on iTunes but that don't make them any less awesome. Just means they're not played out yet. Here are the lyrics to one of my favorite songs.
Beautiful
If I was beautiful like you Oh the things I would do Those not so blessed would be crying out murder And I'd just laugh and get away with it too Like you do
If I was beautiful like you I would never be at fault I'd walk in the rain between the rain drops Bringing traffic to a halt
But that would never be Never, never be Cause I'm not beautiful like you I'm beautiful like me, I'm beautiful like me
If I was beautiful like you I'd be quick to assume They'd do anything to please me, why not I see their reaction when you walk into the room
But that would never be Never, never, never be Cause I'm not beautiful like you I'm beautiful like me, beautiful like me Beautiful, beautiful like me Like me, Like me...
If I was beautiful like you I'd have so many friends All fighting for my time to be next in line So if I hurt one, I wouldn't have to make amends
But that would never be Never, never, never be Cause I'm not beautful like you I'm not beautiful like you I'm not beautiful like you I'm beautiful like me I'm Beautiful like me, beautiful like me I'm beautiful like me, I'm beautiful like me!
There are some people who edit their profiles on myspace and/or facebook everyday. But the one time a month I log into myspace, I'm reminded that a good piece of writing, is still a good piece of writing and doesn't need to be rewritten if it still works. In that vain, here's my myspace "about me" profile that sums it all up:
i used to think i was obsessive compulsive. now i realize it was love that made me do it. stupid love.__i think everything happens for a reason but can't rationalize for the life of me why 2 of my closest college girlfriends are already in heaven.__i talk to at least one of my parents almost every day. i think it's healthy.__i am eternally on a diet. i'm convinced the only way to get the perfect body is to be stranded on a desert island.__i think combo eating is the wave of the future. Salt with sweet...sheer genius.__i have a favorite restaurant on almost every continent. __most of my friends are men. but the female friends i do have, are the best i could ever have.__i sleep in a tank top and underwear no matter what the weather is.__i bite my nails, not out of habit, but because i like the way it shapes them.__i think scars are beautiful.__i agree that therapy is more therapeutic than destructive.__i say things i believe to be true, and unless someone corrects me, i go with it.__palm readers scare me, because i believe in destiny and fate.__i think the best days are those that start with drinking at around noon. i respect people who don't drink, but will forever try my hardest to convert them.__i love babies and puppies and would not be able to choose between the two if you offered me one for the day.__i love red and blue, but am not the biggest fan of purple.__i love to cry but don't do it nearly enough.__i get the itch to move after staying in one place longer than a year.__i could never be with someone who doesn't say "bless you" after i sneeze, no matter what their religious denomination is.__i respect more than i admire, i am envious more than i am jealous, but i love and hate about the same.
