Effin Monday

It's obviously not Monday. Just wanted to let my 6 followers that I've switched my blog to Effin Monday. Comments weren't working on the Blasphamee Blog, so please follow me there now. Thx.

Clean, Simple, & Classy

Clean & Simple is always my preference. In my more youthful days, I'd always hear about people spending ridiculous amounts of money on watches. I never saw the appeal of that, until one day someone said "guys don't get to wear much jewelry. Having a nice timepiece is really the only piece of jewelry we're able to wear."

That being said, this Bell & Ross hit the nail on the head for me.




"Esteemed military style watchmakers Bell & Ross unveil two new watches from its Vintage BR Carbon Series. Shown are the brand’s Chronograph BR 126 and Vintage BR 123. Both take on timeless styling with the incorporation of 41mm casings, glass bead blasted stainless steel with vacuum carbon black finishes, and natural leather straps, adding a distinctly sophisticated appeal."

Texting While Driving?

2 things:

1) Was he texting while driving?
2) Do you think he knows he has man boobs (aka MB's, aka Moobs)?

Clean Closets

One thing I really admire is well-done closet. It just helps to keep everything organized, not to mentioned it's nice to feel like you're shopping everyday when picking out clothes. Below is the cherry on top!



Gals would be more excited about closets though, as portrayed in the awesome Heineken commercial a little while back

The word "FAIL"

The word "fail" has to be the best word of the new millennium. It used to be a primarily used as a verb, but in recent years has turned into a noun which very simply describes something extremely stupid.


Here are some epic car fails to get us started...

1) Burnout Fail


2) Another Burnout Fail

3) Snow Tow Fail

Scum of Society




In my Paparazzi Post, I mentioned how parking enforcement officials are the scum of society. This article in the L.A. Times confirms it.

If you've ever gotten a ticket for parking at a failed meter in Los Angeles, fight it. You'll win.

Half & Half




I see people doing funny things in the office, scratch that... I see people doing funny things EVERYWHERE.

I walked into the communal office kitchen this morning to toast my bread and make my coffee, and a coworker walks in around the same time holding a paper bowl with dry cereal in it. I make small talk with him while pouring sugar and half & half into my coffee and notice him grabbing stuff from the fridge. Low and behold, he has both hands cupped and filled with about 10-12 half & halfs. You get the picture...

1 Take

The concept is nothing new, but to do this in 1 Take is impressive enough for me to post it.




Props to the camera man; he had to know exactly what was going on and when. Getting behind or ahead of the action would mean they'd have to reset and start all over again.

Paparazzi Love/Hate

Ah those damn paparazzi. I have a love/hate relationship with them, but it's 99% Love, 1% Hate. Don't get me wrong, they're the scum of society right next to parking enforcement employees. The difference is, parking enforcement find ways to screw everyone, where as the paparazzi only find ways to screw "celebrities". That's the beauty of it, right? Although I'll admit sometimes they do take it too far, they bring more pleasure than pain. Plus, celebrities wouldn't be celebrities if they weren't scrutinized by the public eye. Celebrities, please don't get caught doing idiotic things; you are always being watched.

Thank You TIVO



There are some inventions that I've always regarded as being some of the "Best Inventions Ever". The DVR is up there with the best of them, in my mind. Have you ever thought about how much time you can save by paying the extra 5$ per month to get a DVR? 30 minute shows can be watched in 20 (simple math... 1 hour shows in 40 mins), NBA games in 1 hour, NFL games in 45 minutes while still catching every play! Not to mention the gratitude of skipping Olympics Ice Dancing and getting straight to the good stuff.

Of course, some people's counter argument is that you watch a ton of shows/sports/junk that you wouldn't normally watch so you're wasting time. I'll admit, I have 32 unwatched Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien episodes along with some movies from over a year ago that I've never gotten around to, but you never know when you'll need some of those for a rainy day, right?

The DVR's biggest enemy? Facebook and text messages. "KOBE DOES IT AGAIN!!!" is a sure-fire way to F up my plans of watching my recording. My solution? Don't open facebook and ignore all text messages received from another diehard sports fan friend.

Complimenting the DVR as a Best Invention Ever is Hulu.

Critics! PSHHHH!!!

Being a CRITIC is easy... that's why i started a BLOG! These are the random thoughts and findings of an amused mind.
