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.

This movie is just fucking hilarious.

You Can't Fix Stupid

Mass. man melting snow with blowtorch ends up igniting home, causing $30,000 in fire damage


(NEW BEDFORD, Mass.) Fire officials in New Bedford, Mass., say a man using a blowtorch to melt ice on his back porch ended up setting his house on fire, causing up to $30,000 in damage.

Fire Capt. Scott Kruger tells The Standard-Times of New Bedford that no on was injured during Monday's incident at the three-story home.

Kruger says the man was using a torch hooked up to a 20-pound propane cylinder. He got too close to the building's wood frame and ignited the vinyl siding. The fire quickly spread into the building's second- and third-floor apartments.

It took 25 firefighters to subdue the blaze that damaged bedrooms in the upstairs units, and caused damage to the structure and wiring.

The homeowner will not be charged. (From Newsweek)

I know I have done some stupid things in my day (20 shots on new years 2005, I haven't looked at Tequila the same way since) but...is this guy serious? The guy had the blowtorch hooked up to a 20 pound propane tank? Jesus. Is it really that pressing to melt the ice on your back porch in the dead of winter? It took 20 firemen to put out the flame. I guess the silver lining is that his stupidity has landed him 30K in debt. I just think this is amazing.
