'Veggie Love': PETA's Banned Super Bowl Ad

Now am certainly not a vegetarian nor do I really support the PETA cause, other than cruelty to animals as a "no-no", but this ad is awesome. I don't know how this ad was not allowed to air on NBC for the Super Bowl, I know I have seen commercials very similar to this.

I will tell you this though, if any woman wanted to make me eat vegetables by dressing in some sexy lingerie and doing crude things things with the food, I would be more than happy to oblige.

Some Things Omitted From The Joe Torre Book

After reading an advance copy of the controversial Joe Torre/Tom Verducci book, “The Yankee Years,” it is clear the book neglects to address several controversial topics, which are listed below:

• Rudy Giuliani’s stint with the Yankees in 2003 under the name “Aaron Boone.”
• Torre’s “Single White Female”-like obsession with Tanyon Sturtze.
• A-Rod’s obsession with “Single White Female.”
• Mariano Rivera pounds a case of Bud Light during the first seven innings of every game.
• Shane Spencer’s butterfly tattoo on his lower back.
• Paul O'Neill's closeted romantic relationship with a water cooler.
• The fan who jumped from the upper deck in 2005 was actually Carl Pavano.
• The collapsed beam in 1998 was actually Hideki Irabu.
• A-Rod’s “Misery”-like obsession with Bubba Crosby.
• Don Zimmer’s pre-game ritual of sacrificing a live chicken.
• David Wells’ secret peacekeeping mission to Rwanda.
• Torre almost ruined David Cone’s perfect game in 1998 by trying to bring in Tanyon Sturtze, before realizing Sturtze was on the White Sox.
• Luis Sojo’s pre-Yankees career as a stadium vendor.
• A-Rod’s “Deliverance”-like obsession with Ruben Sierra.
• Yankees "designated" Andy Fox "for assignment" after he was eaten by Cecil Fielder.
• Torre’s constant refusal to address Kenny Lofton’s complaints about playing time with anything besides the universal “jerk-off” motion.
• Clemens didn’t intentionally throw the bat at Piazza; he was just upset because he saw Tanyon Sturtze warming up in the bullpen. He was doubly upset because Sturtze was on the Devil Rays at the time.
• A-Rod’s jealousy of Jeffrey Maier.
• Hideki Matsui’s feud with Def Jam Records.
• Torre’s “green tea” was actually HGH.

Cubs Can Kiss Any Chance At World Championship Good Bye

The Chicago Cubs today announced that they traded for the Mariners Aaron Heilman. Heilman has been a New York Met the past few years so I have had the joy of watching him blow game after game after game in the bullpen and let me tell you something, he is awful. The fact the Cubs actually felt the need to trade for him is beyond me. He might be one of the worst bullpen pitchers in the majors and I am totally convinced that he has a 'cancer' like effect on a team.

Being a Philly fan I was extremely upset to see that the Mets finally had the brains to get rid of the scrub. I wish they would have kept him, since he has probably blown about 15 games a year for them over the past two season.

Well it looks like the Cubs championship drought will have to be extended another year anyway, or at least until they release him.

New Zealand Man Buys US Intelligence On MP3 Player

Sydney Morning Herald

A New Zealand man has found confidential United States military files on an MP3 player he bought at an op shop in the US.

Chris Ogle, 29, from Whangarei, bought the player from an Oklahoma thrift shop for $NZ18 ($A14.50), and found the files when he hooked it up to his computer, TV One News reported on Monday night.

The 60 files on the player contained the names and personal details of American soldiers, including ones who served in Afghanistan and Iraq.

There was also information about equipment deployed to bases and a mission briefing.

"The more I look at it, the more I see and the less I think I should be," Ogle said.

Victoria University strategic studies director Peter Cozens said one of the first rules of military endeavour was to not give the opposition information that could compromise your position.

"This is just slack administrative procedures which are indeed a cause of embarrassment. It's the sort of thing which ought not really be in the public domain, he said.

Ogle said the player never worked as a music player and he would hand it over to the US Defence Department if asked.


Well this just about sums up the past couple years of military intel. Let's keep important files on a MP3 player and then sell it to a pawn shop in the middle of Oklahoma. This guy Ogle better make a pretty penny off of this, even though the military doesn't seem to care that he has this material. I guess no one fears the Kiwi's.

Reptile becomes a father, at 111

From BBC


A rare New Zealand reptile has become a father, possibly for the first time, at the age of 111.

The keepers of Henry, a tuatara, had thought he was past his prime - especially after showing no interest in females during 40 years in captivity.

But he mated with 80-year-old Mildred last July and 11 of the eggs she produced have now hatched.

Henry's keepers have put his newfound vigour down to a recent operation to remove a tumour from his bottom.

'Love story'

Henry arrived at Southland Museum in the South Island city of Invercargill in 1970 and, his keepers say, soon became overweight and idle.


I have done lots of eggs before but these are just special because they are Henry's
Lindsay Hazley
Museum curator

He was known for his foul temper and had a tendency to attack other tuatara - forcing the museum to keep him in solitary confinement for many years.

But since his operation, Museum tuatara curator Lindsay Hazley said he had had a "major personality transplant".

"I have done lots of eggs before but these are just special because they are Henry's," Mr Hazley told the Southland Times.

Tuatara, which are found only in New Zealand, are sometimes referred to as "living fossils".

They are the only surviving members of a family of species which walked the Earth with the dinosaurs more than 200 million years ago.

The museum now has about 70 of the rare creatures, and Mr Hazley is hopeful that Henry might provide more offspring in the future.

He lives with three female tuatara "in great harmony", said Mr Hazley, and described the hatching of the eggs as "the completion of a love story".

This little guy is still spreading his seed at 111 years old? That is pretty impressive. I mean I have a hard enough time trying to do that at the age of 25. Maybe it gets easier with age? But I would have to seduce a much younger woman at that age. I mean there aren't any 111 year old women giving birth. Could you image having sex with some who is about 80 years your junior? That would be a miracle, let alone getting her pregnant. It is official that this reptile is now a hero of mine and I will strive to match not only years on this earth but his sexual conquests as well.

New York Is Now Jealous Of Both Boston and Philly

Forget Boston, we have new city to hate

From NY Daily News

No matter where a New York fan turns these days, a vulgar scent of cheesesteak taints the atmosphere and distorts the schedule of sports events on our flat-screen televisions. Philadelphia is the new Boston, suddenly. Maybe not as prim and haughty, but every bit as dangerous and much, much sneakier.

The Phillies have leap-frogged and embarrassed the Mets for two straight Septembers, riding Jimmy Rollins' back-page boasts all the way to a championship. The Eagles knocked off the Giants twice at the Meadowlands this season, the second time decisively.

The Flyers are battling the Rangers and Devils atop the Atlantic Division. The Sixers are mediocre, at best, but that only means they will be jockeying with the Knicks for key draft position. No doubt the expansion Philadelphia franchise will win the MLS title before the Red Bulls.

And still, we hear the whining from down there. It is now winning whining, which is much worse than losing whining. We miss the jeering. Where is the jeering?

"Trashy people from either Philadelphia or the Southern region of New Jersey," is how Urbandictionary.com defines Eagles fans. "They claim they are the most loyal fans in the NFL. ... ONLY when their team is on the brink of a (soon to be a failure) Super Bowl Run. But as soon as their team loses, they disown their team and bash them to pieces."

The problem is, there has been no need for bashing anyone to pieces lately in Philly. There are only these big victories down there in what looks like a farmer's market filled with new stadiums. We were so busy worrying about Boston all these years, we failed to spot Ryan Howard and Donovan McNabb advancing from the south.

We should have seen this coming as far back as 1790, when Philadelphia stole our designation as nation's capital on a lark. After World War I, Philly politicians made a futile legislative and propaganda effort to divert steamship commerce from our ports, claiming we were overcrowded.

"The advantages of New York do not need to be advertised," The New York Times opined in 1918, about Philly's assault. "But not even New York is strong enough to be indifferent to diversion of trade by edict, and wrong notions, and facts which are not facts."

The sixth-biggest city in America was cunning then, and is still slyer now. The town which might have given Boo Radley his name has launched one stealth attack after another these past couple of years.

We search, but find no overt venom spewed toward New York, not like on the Boston airwaves. The Philly fan blogs are generally filled with straight analysis, a dash of pessimism and little braggadocio. Philadelphians want us to believe they are so down on themselves, on everything and everybody, they don't really have a specific grudge against New York.

"I don't think there's an overriding animus toward New York from Philadelphia," insists Bob Ford, a sports columnist for The Philadelphia Inquirer. "Philadelphians hate the whole world. North Philadelphia doesn't like South Philly , which doesn't like The Main Line, which doesn't think anyone else exists.

"Everyone hates Boston, because they're stuck up. We can't say New York is stuck up. Before the Phillies won, there wasn't a championship since 1983. There would have been great pleasure if the local teams were beating Tulsa for a title. And for sheer civic joy, the fans would have enjoyed it five times more if it had been Dallas instead of the Giants on Sunday."

So Philly refuses to recognize its own role as our new nemesis - which only makes the city that much more annoying.

Boston? Boston is so yesterday around here, and far too Yankee-centric. The Red Sox were a wild-card team last season, nothing more. They've lost Manny, the poster child for anti-pinstriped imagery.

Besides, the Yanks killed them in the offseason. Brad Penny for one year? That's not even trying.

The Patriots lost to the Jets in New England and didn't make the playoffs. The Bruins are in a different division. The Celtics are irrelevant to the Knicks or Nets at the moment, playing in their own little two-team league with the Lakers.

Philadelphia would love us to remain focused on Boston, to forget the increasing threat it presents on the athletic fields.

"We are sort of related," Ford insists. "We share New Jersey, a slow cousin we both have to look out for."

In Case You Live Under A Rock - Plane Crashes In The Hudson

Plane crash lands in Hudson River, rescue effort under way
by The Star-Ledger Continuous News Desk
Thursday January 15, 2009, 4:37 PM

A US Airways plane has crashed into the Hudson River, sending passengers fleeing for safety in the frigid waters.

FAA officials have reported all passengers and crew were safely rescued from the partially submerged plane. New York City firefighters, federal transportation officials and an armada of boats responded within minutes of the incident. A government official said the plane struck a bird that disabled two engines.

One of the 148 passengers on the plane, Jeff Kolodajy 31, Norwalk, Conn., described hearing "a loud boom" and then, he said, "I saw fire."

"The plane just dropped about 100 feet," said Kolodajy, who was ferried to Pier 81 in New York. "It was real scary."

But, Kolodajy said, "when the plane landed, the boats were there in about three or four minutes to pick us up, and the water started to fill up rapidly."

The plane was submerged in the 41 degree waters up to the windows, and rescue crews had opened the door and were pulling passengers in yellow life vests from the plane. Several boats surrounded the plane, which appeared to be slowly sinking. In addition to the 148 passengers, five crew members were on board.

"I saw what appeared to be a tail fin of a plane sticking out of the water," said Erica Schietinger, whose office windows at Chelsea Piers look out over the Hudson. "All the boats have sort of circled the area. ... I can't tell what's what at this point."

The plane, which reportedly had 151 passengers on board, was attempting to turn around after reporting a mechanical problem, NBC 4 New York reported.

Televised reports showed ferry boats typically used to take passengers across the Hudson surrounding the airplane, which remained partially afloat. The pilot reported that he struck a flock of geese shortly after takeoff, NBC reported.

The flight was US Airways flight 1549, which took off at 3:26 p.m., headed for Charlotte, N.C. The Coast Guard said 60 people were in the water, NBC reported.

The NY Waterways ferry terminal at Port Imperial in Weehawken is closed until further notice, company officials said. Commuters who take the New Jersey-bound ferry will have to find another way home.

Christian Martin, who witnessed the crash from a New York office building, said the response by emergency personnel was swift after the plane hit the water.

"It came down very smoothly. If it had been an airport runway it looked just like that," Martin said. "It's drifted down the river. Touched down about 56th street. It's way further down now."

Ferry boats raced to help from both sides of the river, Martin said.

"In about four minutes, there was a ferry there and you could see people on the wings," Martin said. "I didn't exactly see people exiting because the ferry boat was in the way. There seemed to be plenty of time for people to get off the wings. Within 10 minutes there were three or four ferryboats, from the New Jersey and the New York side."

Kolodajy said the passengers around him on the plane seemed to be uninjured.

"Everyone's fine. There was a lady with her baby and she was trying to crawl over the seats. And I said, women and children first. She got off," said Kolodajy, who praised the effort by the pilot.

"I tell you what. It says a lot about people. He knew we were going down," Kolodajy said. "The engine blew out about three minutes, we circled around to the Hudson. Pilot said, look, we're going down. We looked at one another and said prayers."

When James Mohr, 21, opened the door of his apartment at around 3:45 p.m. in the Bronx, he heard a loud boom.

"It boomed more than once," Mohr said. "I saw fire spitting out of one of the engines. I want to say the right one, but I could be wrong."

The A320 is a widely used, medium-range passenger jet used around the world. More than 1,900 A320s are in service with 155 airlines.

The twin-engine jet, equipped with a "fly-by-wire" control system when it entered service in 1988. It typically can seat 150 passengers in a two-class cabin layout, and has a range of 3,000 nautical miles.

During its 20-year history there have been eight fatal Airbus crashes , the worst accident in 2007 when all 186 passengers and crew and 12 people on the ground died when a Tam Airlines jet ran off the runway at Sao Paulo- Congonhas Airport in Brazil.

Last year, a United Airbus A320 flying out of Newark Liberty International Airport experienced multiple avionics and electrical failures, including loss of all communications, shortly after taking off. The flight returned safety for a landing with no injuries to the 107 passengers and crew aboard the airplane and no damage to the jet.

Australia Offers 'Best Job in World' On Paradise Island - Fox News

SYDNEY — Position: Island caretaker. Duties: Lazing around Australia's Great Barrier Reef for six months. Salary: $105,000.

Unemployed, take heart — the aforementioned job ad is for real. Billing it the "Best Job in the World," the tourism department in Australia's Queensland state on Tuesday said it was seeking one lucky person to spend half a year relaxing on Hamilton Island, part of the country's Whitsunday Islands, while promoting the island on a blog.

The "island caretaker" will be expected to stroll the white sands, soak up the sun, snorkel the reef, "maybe clean the pool" — and report to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates.

The winner, who will stay rent-free in a multimillion-dollar three-bedroom beach home complete with pool and golf cart, must be an excellent communicator and be able to speak and write in English.

The job, according to the Daily Telegraph, seems too good to be true — work 12 hours a month for six months while carrying out such duties as feeding turtles, watching whales and writing a blog.

The Australia-based newspaper reported on its Web site that no academic qualifications are required for the job advertised in 18 countries. However, strong swimming skills and a love of snorkelling and scuba diving are a must.

The Daily Telegraph reported 850,000 people clicked on the site within the first 24 hours.

"They'll also have to talk to media from time to time about what they're doing so they can't be too shy and they'll have to love the sea, the sun, the outdoors," said acting state Premier Paul Lucas.

"The fact that they will be paid to explore the islands of the Great Barrier Reef, swim, snorkel and generally live the Queensland lifestyle makes this undoubtedly the best job in the world."

Lucas said the campaign was part of a drive to protect the state's 18 billion Australian dollar a year tourism industry during the tough economic climate caused by the global financial meltdown.

While the campaign has elements of some reality television shows, a candidate's looks will not be a prime requirement, Tourism Queensland chief executive Anthony Hayes told AFP.

"No, I don't think beautiful is what we want, I think charismatic is what we want," he said. "The reality is we are looking for a fantastic communicator.

"What we want this person to do is travel throughout the Great Barrier Reef and just try every experience, every adventure they can find and report back via blogs and video to tell the world why Queensland is a great place to come for a holiday."

Tourism Minister Desley Boyle said some people might question whether it was risky to let an unknown person become an unofficial tourism spokesperson for the state.

"I think the biggest risk will be that the successful candidate won't want to go home at the end of the six months," she said.

"This is a legitimate job which is open to anyone and everyone."

Applications are open until February 22. Eleven shortlisted candidates will be flown to Hamilton Island in early May for the final selection process and the six month contract will commence on July 1.

Job-seekers can apply at Islandreefjob.com (FoxNews)


Is this serious? Leave it to the Aussie's to come up with the greatest job on the face of the earth. I mean who doesn't want to just lay around all day and take care of an island? If you don't apply to this job you are an absolute moron....

Mike Styp is Devastated!

The eagles just recently beat their hated rival, new York giants. This has really made my day. I have spent most of the past week hearing my roommate and longtime friend mike talk shit about how badly the giants were going to beat the eagles. Looks like I have the last laugh! The eagles played some great defense throughout the day and ended the giants season with a bang.

Sitting next to him was a great adventure today, with hats being thrown, annoying clapping and an abundance of yelling. It is rather amazing that one of us is not laying at the bottom of the pool just outside of Sinatras balcony window. Even though we are the beat of friends today we were hated enemies and I can say that I am happy this stressful time is over.

The only thing that makes all of this ok is that my eagles came out on top and are headed to the NFC championship. Mike I am sorry for your loss but at the same time extremely happy.

I will be training with Yoda in no time. Found at Stumble Upon.

Response: Who You Got

There you have it. Florida are National Champs with the unbeaten Utes coming in at 2nd. Is there no way they can play each other? I'll even take a backyard flag football game.

I will would like to say however, that I do feel I was correct with my statement that Percy Harvin was the difference in the game. Tim Tebow was his usual self and helped open lanes for Percy by getting his own running game going. I do think the better team won last night, even the Travis would have to disagree. (Travis was a mess last night, if you would like to send him something to cheer him up please feel free to do so)

Now we are all in the unfortunate spot of having to wait an entire year to have some more college football. I guess the NFL, college basketball, baseball and for this fan English Premier League will just have to suffice.

Who You Got? Florida vs. Oklahoma

Well tonight is the night that college football crowns a semi champ. Utah goes undefeated and doesn't even have a chance to become champion? I guess that is the way the system goes right now. I don't care if they were in a "softer" conference, they went undefeated during the year, how does that not land you a championship?

But enough about that, you can watch ESPN if you want to hear 800 people discuss how we need a playoff, but until that happens, this is all we have.

Tonight features the Florida Gators vs the Oklahoma Sooners, in a match-up of old school and new school football powerhouses. Both teams feature a spread type offense, Heisman winning quarterbacks and average defense (giving a slight edge hear to Florida because of overall speed).

The game should be high scoring, but with a full month off for each team, these games can sometimes be ugly. I am going with the gators tonight, purely based on the fact that they have Percy Harvin. Tebow and Bradford will play great as usual, but it is usually the "other" guy that needs to step up in these games. Oklahoma will be without DeMarco Murray, their major home run guy. Harvin is such an explosive player and can line up almost anywhere on the field. He is the difference tonight.

Florida 38-27. Who you got?

Skier Caught With Pants Down = Funny Story and Pitty Shrinkage

The tricks skiers can do on the snow these days are amazing, but one who ended up upside down and pantless on a ski-lift had no intention of ending up that way.

The skier and a child tried to get on a high-speed lift at Vail's Blue Sky Basin in Colorado. But since the chairlift's seat wasn't in the right position, the man partially fell through the seat, and was left dangling upside down. Somehow his pants fell down. The lift was stopped, and the man was not hurt.

Vail Resorts says the guy was "suspended for approximately seven minutes," according to The Smoking Gun.

The guy's pride might be damaged a bit. Fellow skiers snapped shots of his bare butt.

You Say Tomato, I Say Tomei-Whoa!

Christmas came early for me this year--36 hours early, to be exact, when I entered the Landmark Sunshine Cinema to see The Wrestler and left two hours later shedding tears of joy. Yes, it’s a terrific film--heartbreaking, funny and well written, featuring incredibly striking symmetry between an aging exotic dancer and an over-the-hill wrestler, to say nothing of the art-vis-a-vis-life symmetry one could point out between the characters Ms. Tomei and co-star Mickey Rourke portray and the actors themselves. Most importantly, however, the 45 minutes or so that Marisa Tomei spent almost completely in the buff might be the best screenwriting ever put to paper.

Simple math shows why Marisa Tomei’s big splash in 1991 (My Cousin Vinny) remains a turning point in the lives of most men who today are in their early 30s, myself included. As a 13-year-old, I could not possibly be prepared for the sight of Mona Lisa Vito, she of the thick Brooklyn accent, stepping out of Vinny Gambini’s convertible in that unforgettable, trashy tights/high heels combo years before Dennis Rodman would perfect the look. From the moment she snapped her gum and bitched about the lack of Chinese food in Alabama, I, like so many other teenage idealists out there, longed for a whiny, trashy woman to call my own.

As an aside, let this be a lesson for all you whipper-snappers out there: be careful what you wish for. For as I have learned, not all whiny, trashy women have the charm of Ms. Vito. If you think you can just take a trip to Flatbush with a $50 bill and a bag of Popeye’s and meet the woman of your dreams, think again. It takes several trips. Trial and error is a dangerous game when your emotions are the proverbial chips. But thanks to years of counseling and drinking, I’ve learned from my errors and am not afraid to say so. Have I made mistakes? Of course. Do I have any regrets? A few, sure. But deep down, would I change any of it? Yes. Almost all of it, actually.

Until recently, that is (hi sweetie).

You might wonder just exactly who the “sweetie” is that I’m referring to. That would be 44-year-old Marisa Tomei, coming off the performance of a lifetime in...The Wrestler. As one can imagine, seeing my biggest childhood crush this side of Joan Rivers in a g-string was something I never thought would happen. But better late than never, I’m happy to say. Better then than now, you might ask? Strangely, no, and most likely better now than later, or never, and better everything than nothing at all. Because that’s what you get in The Wrestler: everything. Now. And later on DVD.

I understand Miz Tomei laid her angelic figure bare in a critically acclaimed movie with Philip Seymour Hoffman last year, but none of my friends had the courtesy to notify me at the time. I can’t say I blame them; had I known, I would have hoarded all copies of the movie and kept them for myself, out of fear that too much viewing would deteriorate the content, much like an acetate disc in the olden days of phonographs and Indians.

“Whoa, Travis!” you’re saying. “No offense to the over-40 crowd, but at 44, wouldn’t Marisa’s cadaver be riddled with cobwebs and asbestos?” Well, here’s something else I didn’t know: nipple rings and back tattoos have anti-aging benefits. So we’re getting Marisa Tomei, gyrating with great prejudice, clad in nipple rings and some huge tattoo of something on her back. I think it might be a dragon, but every time it’s shown in the movie my eyes tend to—ahem—wander…

…(to Mickey Rourke’s vulnerable eyes)...

Christmas is over, but treat yourself in the New Year and see The Wrestler. It’s everything I was hoping for when I was 13, but had it happened then, I probably would have exhausted the world’s Kleenex supply.

Flight Of The Concords Returns: If that's what you're into?

The HBO show that I have come to love, Flight of The Concords returns with new episodes on January 18th. If you have not watched this show in the past I highly recommend that you start.

Also, the show is having a lip syncing contest to see who does the best music video. You have to do the song "Hiphopopotamus vs Rhymenceros", which is definitely a classic. Is anyone willing to try to do this with me? I think it would be awesome. One a side note, below is my favorite Flight of Concords song, click here to see "Hiphopopotamus vs Rhymenceros" from here to see which one we would be trying to recreate.

Bring On The Giants!!

Here is to hoping that this Sunday will bring about the same result as week 14!

Mike Styp's Heroic Effort From Saturday, January 3rd

Saturday, January 3rd started out as most other nights do. A shower around 830, a couple of pre game drinks and darts at the apartment, followed by a short trip into the city. After making our way to the bar (Brass Monkey), drinks started flowing at usual pace. A couple beers, a few shots, and a number of laughs.

The reason we were in the city was to meet up with Mike's brother for the celebration of his girlfriend's 30th birthday. They were at a bar called Celio, which we quickly learned does not allow four single guys to enter without the purchase of a private table and an extremely overpriced bottle of Vodka.

This lead to the eventual trip back to Hoboken to create our own fun. Being a brisk night we made our way to Trinity. After a couple slow drinks, Dan decided it was time t get wasted and the Jaeger bombs followed.

Now you may be wondering when this night is going to take a change for the hilarious and my friends, it is coming. Like most people we were craving some sort of delicious treat to help end our night in fashion. Seven Star Pizza, there is no other!

Seven Star is a local favorite for the drunk and hungry Hoboken bar goers. The slices are large and the crowd is usually something to behold. We each ordered a slice (3 pepperoni and a plain, yes Ben that is right, Seven Star had plain pizza at 3 AM) and took our seat. After finishing the our first slice the need for another arose. Saving our seats, I stayed behind. Now, I did not do such a good job seeing how a girl came and sat right next to me. Usually I would have found this to be a good thing but she was obviously with some dude in line.

In this time, my friends returned, but lets take a look at Mike Styp. Mike and I started a conversation with this young lady trying to feel out any chances. She said that she had just met this guy tonight and they had shared some laughs and were now sharing some pizza and a drink. The drink they chose was orange Powerade.

The dude in line places his slices and drink on the table and leaves to pay for it. We are not moving for the guy as the girl is requesting which is funny in it self. But now Mike, just after the guy put the drink on the table for his "girl" reaches and opens the drink right in front of her.

The rest of us sitting at the table are dumbfounded. Did he really just open her drink in front of her? Not only does she not see it but she just keeps talking and asking us to leave. The guy made his way back to the table, takes a bite of his glorious pizza and reaches for his Powerade.

"Man I love orange Powerade, its so good," says unobservant drunk dude.

"Yeah man, it's really good," says Mike Styp, still wiping the orange stain from his own lips.

I thought it was priceless.

Hahaha - Funny Baby

I love this kid. I wish my life was this simple.

Winter Break/New Years Resolution

So, to anyone who become a daily reader just before the holidays I would like to say I am sorry for my recent absence. I have been completely slacking with my blogging and video posting for past two weeks.

Over the past two weeks I have been home to PA and back/ back to work/ back on vacation/ and drank my face off.

I would like to say a belated happy new years to everyone and I hope that you all enjoyed the turn of the new year. As everyone knows the main thing to do during this time of year is to make new years resolution. I am currently trying to juggle three different resolutions and I will make sure that 2009 is the year that i follow through on all of them. (This is of course what I and what I would like to believe 75% of the population says)

Even with that being said I do really want to make sure that 2009 is the year i follow through on the promises I make to myself. For 2009 I have three usual goals that I am reaching for:

1. Lose 25 pounds during my 25th year on this earth.
2. Save enough money to be able to move to Hawaii or at least buy a dog, should be heart desire so.
3. Expand my career and personal growth.

I know the last one might seem a little open ended, but thats how i want it. I am not someone who performs well under extreme pressure. I guess my major goal is to have a better overall way of life during 2009. Let's hope that when I start taking this seriously (Monday the 5th, I need to have one last irresponsible weekend, right?) I actually make it all worth it.

I guess I am looking for some inspiration. Anyone have any/want to share their own resolutions? Maybe we can help each other through the year.
