Turned on MTV and Kelly Clarkson sang "give up the game and get into me". Ok, sure thing!!

Truths

If the average commuter carpooled, they'd save 500 gallons of gas a year. Thats money in the bank.

Remember last summer @ $4 a gallon? You like spending $2,000 you don't need to?

Light Rail for the win!

1.7 billions trees are cut down to meet the paper needs of the U.S. Every year. That's 5 trees per person. And over half of that gets thrown away. We throw away so much, 1 years worth of landfill-bound paper would build a 12 foot wall from NYC to LA, almost all of which could be recycled.

To meet this demand, paper companies plant trees to harvest later. Some countries, however grow fast-growing eucalyptus trees that are not native to the area and alter the habitat by requiring more water and not supporting the same wildlife. Be sure to always looks for the FSC logo on wood and paper products to make sure the trees it came from weren't harmful to the environment.

Lastly, if everyone decreased their margins from 1" to 1/2" we'd save 5% of the paper used, which saves 6 million trees which would clean 500,000 TONS of CO2 from the air, the equivalent of taking 133,000 cars off the road.

Real Convo Right Now

NE "this is so good, this cushion is off the chain on my ass right now"

RG: "there's a chain on your ass right now?"

What I learned this week

monday: there is always someone for whom consequences don't apply. This person is never you.

Tuesday: few people really have what it takes to face adversity with a stiff upper-lip

wednesday: good news that's not 100% what you wanted is still good news

thursday: sentiment turns like a winebago; wide & sloppy. Don't get side-swiped

friday: don't overcook the pasta!!

saturday: there is nothing more intoxicating than a woman saying she wants to have your baby.

Damn you Lilly Allen

Why must you look so familiar!?! Can't enjoy your snarky ballads without a rush of awkwardness.

Watching "Planet Earth" last night, narrated by James Earl Jones made me think about the falacy of sci-fi.

Logically we think the chances of us being the only form of intelligent life are slim, but this is surely bolstered by a tainted morality that would hate to face the prospect that this IS the only place life can be sustained, that there is no back-up earth, that we HAVE inherited a unique wonder and are fucking it up more and more each day.

As much as I have subscribed to the "I can always fix it later" methodology, this CANNOT be the modus operandi for the planet. Take a serious look around and imagine all the other lives your choices are affecting.

50% of the worlds plant & animal species live in the 3% of the planet tat is covered by rain forrest; the same rain forrest that is being destroyed to bring you teak patio furniture and cheez-its. Hope those cheez-its taste good when you've helped eradicate the plants that could have cured your mom/daughter/brother's cancer. yummy!!

No lie, Just saw a trailer for "where the wild things as". Way to go Spike Jonze.

Originally tried to blog-by-phone this on 9/19
-----------------------

So I thought I'd test out blogging from my Treo by telling you guys my harrowing story of this morning.

1.) went to bed about 11pm
2.) had a crazy dream about a disgruntled pizza delivery guy and a daschund that lived in the trunk of my car (calm down PETA, I know dogs don't live in trunks). Kept hearing a weird sound during this dream
3.) finally open my eyes to realize it's 4am and the sound was the fire alarm going off!!!
4.) even though all my clean clothes are laying about my room, I can't find pants and a t-shirt found 13 different dress shirt, but somehow during my Flee-the-Fire thought patterns, I decided I still needed to match.
5.) finally put pants on and run out the door to see that A.) I am the last person to get out of the building!!! And B) I'm wearing my sweatpants backwards, and I'm not sure my shirt is facing forward either
6.) firemen arrive and turn off the alarm. I skeptically return to my apt and sniff around for any flames.
7.) my alarm clock never went off this morning, leading me to believe that either A.) a certain someone broke it last time she threw it, or B.) the fire was localized to my alarm clock only.

Possibly the best idea to make everyone greener: Small Steps Paper Towells made from 100% recycled paper. If I can get NE on board, anyone can try it.

Btw, everytime I blog via text, blogger sends me a message that says "success! Your post made it to your blog". Makes me feel like the target lady just swiped my card.

Just came up with a new term while debating past sexy times with NE. She said she was giving me a handski, I refuted that at that time she was giving me a vagski

Shef hits 500th homer; way to go. Bring this guy back to the pinstripes, now!!

Oh snaps!!! Blogger & twitter at the same time!! I'm uber-connected! lol.

Sorry, over the top, I know.

Way to get my interest in your product, Allure Magazine

...this weeks Nude Issue.

Good marketing scheme, guys. High-fives all around (yes, high-threes if you're going TMNT style).


You know who doesn't get a high-five? The guys at Blogger that keep letting my pictures get cut-off instead of resized. Dou-chey!

Hats off to....

I was watching the Yankee's Opening Day game while waiting for the cable guy to come fix my internet, and I heard the following exchange:

(reviewing a graphic of the money teams spent on Free Agents last off-season; the Yankees spent $441 million on three guys)

VP Joe Biden: Joe, you ever see those numbers and just think...?

Joe Morgan: It's funny, but no, I really don't. I came up and was able to play against Willie Mays & Mickey Mantle, and that was all I ever wanted as a kid.

Now, I'm not foolish, everyone likes money, but personally, I'm giving a thumbs-up to Joe Morgan.

In other opening day news:
- Not only did Mark Teixeira take Giambi's job & position, he took his number, too. Ouch
- Speaking of Big Tex, first time I saw him at bat today, he hit a foul ball line-drive down the first base line and it honestly bounced off a kid. All these people waiting to catch a foul ball, and this kid just eats one to the chest? Give me this loser's tickets, now!
- In Phoenix, two players from the D-Backs hit home-runs from both sides of the plate. That craziness. Know what else is crazy; how I didn't scam my way into a free ticket to that game.




Btw, fuck you A-Rod.

Snikt! Snikt! April = Wolverine Appreciation Month

Click here for the full link, plus the picture. The Klimt & Van Gogh Wolverines were my favorites.

From Marvel.com

Marvel is proud to announce that in honor of Wolverine's 35th anniversary, numerous Marvel titles will feature Wolverine Art Appreciation Variant Covers in April, as part of Wolverine Art Appreciation Month. In the tradition of Marvel's previous variant cover programs, featuring everything from villains to zombies to monkeys, select Marvel titles will feature variant covers spotlighting the most popular X-Man through a unique lens! Inspired by some of the world's greatest artists, these variant covers depict Wolverine like you've never seen him before, in styles reminiscent of Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol and more!

"This is a huge year for Wolverine as he proves why he's arguably one of the most popular characters in the world," explained Joe Quesada, Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief. "He's not just popular with fans but also with artists, as evidenced by how many of today's top comic artists jockey for a chance to draw him. This got us thinking: what if Wolverine had been around for hundreds, if not thousands, of years? What great, classic artists would want a crack at drawing a Wolverine cover?"

Keep checking back with Marvel.com for a complete listing of titles featuring the Wolverine Art Appreciation Variant Covers and a first look at these landmark covers!
