It’s something everyone does. You’re too busy (or untalented) to cook (microwave) at home and you need to eat to feel good. What do you do? Hit up the _______ down the street and pig out. Nearly everyone says fast food is disgusting, horrible for you, terrible, but everyone eats it. So, which restaurant would you be least unhappy about being caught dead in?

There is something irresistibly manly about Burberry’s adspot on Sport, their new fragrance for men. It was ran in GQ this month, and it hits all of the areas it’s supposed to for it’s demographic: smells vaguely like Acqua di Gio, is a virile red color, and comes in a kickass bottle.

The tackiest holiday of the year is today, so be prepared to be bombarded with useless posts on your favorite blogs that were funny seven years ago. There is nothing risque enough to run on the mainstream websites that would incite any real laughter, and the authors are presumably being paid, so this is without a doubt the worst productivity day of the year. Maybe next to Christmas Day, but the thought still stands. Pranks are fun, but not when it’s on a predictable date. The only cool thing left to do is probably having Apple push out a “virus” that fucks up everything on the iPhone, but that wouldn’t shut up the people that have them. Which is the ultimate goal.
Whatever you do, don’t kill anyone’s family. Okay? Happy April Fool’s.
It’s odd, but Shia LeBeouf is the first star that I’ve seen make progress in his career. It’s strange, because all other actors are still floundering around in roles that were similar to the first two that they’ve done or are notable for (Will Ferrell as a trying-too-hard jackass, Michael Cera as adolescent, Jamie Foxx as musician-with-disability). Yet, Shia has defied all logic and soared over the highest hurdles to stardom. Read the rest of this entry »
Okay. Robo armor conceived out of perhaps recycled cheap plastic, faceguard and the return of light up sneakers. Who said the 90s ever left? And a racket that doubles as a glowstick. Note the collar on the armor, though.
Lacoste could have spent those dollars on actually making those sneakers instead of the lame ones they produce now.
Lyrical virtuoso T-Pain is back with another monster single, “Reverse Cowgirl”. I have no clue when the successor to Thr33 Rings comes out, but this is a great leadoff and infectious as all hell.
Face it, the black starfish is BACK.
This picture doesn’t really do the team justice. Tune in to CBS to catch the flying ginger explosion, the Mormon-look-alike contest as they fight their way through the Final Four!
The singer announced today what Barbara Walters announced ten years ago: Ricky Martin loves men. There’s nothing wrong with that, but the world kind of knew about it after Enrique scored Anna and Martin didn’t have a hot woman to show for it. I always think about one and the other, Ricky and Enrique.
So, go him.
While reading NY Times this morning, I ran across a column in the Op Ed about student loans. This applied to my situation, because I am planning on going to college this coming year and I’m not rich by any stretch of the definition. I was upset to find out that there is money that could go to potential students that can’t afford to pay the tuition up front. The best part about this money is that it could go to those people without having to use taxpayer dollars, which is terrific. The only thing keeping this bill from passing are the lobbyists that don’t want this to happen.
It’s insulting when already rich people are paying more money just to have their special interests (more money) met instead of passing bills that would help 90% of the United States population. This is the main reason why our country is so embarrassing when it comes to being progressive and thinking about the future. One thing that I am glad to hear is that the conversation is no longer about the teenagers not being ambitious in trying to get the degree and future they want to live, because that drive is already there. The only thing holding our future back is fat elderly men that have clearly had it made their entire lives, their parents paying their way through college and graduate school persistently wanting more money and to stifle further generations from achieving their dreams. This is the antithesis of democracy and capitalism. It is just absolutely disgusting.
I’m planning for the off-chance that this bill gets passed and saves me a lot of debt, but the fact that this will probably not be passed has me comtemplating what I want to do. What I really want to do is study Kinesiology, but I might just become a nurse instead. For whatever social stigma there is for being a male nurse, it would be totally worth the salary. I’d still consider myself a success if I became a nurse, but I can only sit back and wonder what I could have really become had I been rich.
Alexander McQueen lived a life most people could only wish they would have. Dropping out of school when he was 16, he became an apprentice at Anderson & Sheppard after designing dresses for his sisters on his own time during his childhood. Throughout his life, McQueen pursued what he wanted to do most and what brought him happiness, making more enemies than friends along the way. What is important to remember about this master designer is that he never compromised when it came to anything in his profession.
