Is it just me?

Dear Avid Readers, this is just some food for thought. Since turning 31 I have had 4 instances where i look down or someone has tapped me on the shoulder to tell me that my fly in down. Is there a correlation?

Thought I would ask.

BTW...

Dear Avid Readers,

Upon finishing my post from yesterday I went and checked out My Girl Bijou's blog and guess what I stumbled across...

It has become a trend...I mean now they are tatooing them on glass. I absolutely love it!

The Shanghai Triad

Dear Avid Readers. This blog is mostly for all the men in my family...namely, the Shanghai Triad. Recently, I came upon a trend that reminded so much of Yours Truly's male family members that I have decided to dedicate an entire post to that trend, I believe, got started by the Shanghai Triad. Before I get too much into it, let me preface it by saying that many, many moons ago, the boys of the Shanghai Triad grew out there hair and all got tattoos. Well, shortly after they decided to do this one member of the Shanghai Triad decided to get hitched. The day of the wedding came, binaca was sprayed, bouquets were thrown and mustaches were drawn. It was an amazing day. Well, little did Yours Truly expect it, then, but a short few years later a new trend has spread that is the birth of the combination of the Shanghai Triad's Genius. I call it The MUSTACHE TATTOO!

Amazing. The old school mustache with just enough curl to be manly.
The perfect curl where one shows his/her maniless at the perfection of the mustache curl.
The Extreme Curl. This is the curl for someone with something to prove. Either way for an in-depth look at this sweeping trend from one of the highest, and most decorated news sources please watch what I call "The Sweep of the Tattooed 'Stache"
Please enjoy. I love you Shanghai Triad.

Another New York Moment

Dear avid readers, another funny New York moment happened to me last night that I thought you would enjoy, so I am going to share. It was Friday, Yours Truly had a good day at work, wen to the gym and had a good spin class and was headed home when I decided to stop by the local convenient store to pick up some miscellaneous items. Well, I picked up some peanut butter, a can of kidney beans and some eggs and was headed to the counter. I felt on top of the world, there was no line and only one register open, which in the city NEVER happens. So I stroll up to the counter and the man was super nice and all smiles and asked how my day was. well, he rang up everything until he got to the eggs and the damn eggs would just not go through. He kept trying and trying and he even tried typing in the numbers, but it just would not work. Finally, he had to call for backup and get his co-worker to find out the price. Well, by this time there was a line of 5 people behind me and I could tell that people were rolling their eyes behind my back, even though I felt in no way responsible. Well, they finally figured out the price ($2.89 by the way) and I paid with a credit card. As I was putting my credit card away the person behind me LITERALLY pushed his way next to me, throws down a box of condoms and started elbowing his way to pay. At first I was all angry and wanted to be like, "dude, really? c'mon" but then I saw that he had a box of condoms so I thought, "do you think he wanted to show me that he was buying this 'bulk' box of condoms to prove that he sleeps around a lot?" but after careful re-evaluation and taking a closer look at this balding, 5'2", dorko potatoe of a man I realized he probably was feeling so humiliated standing in line ONLY holding a box of condoms that he would rather shove me out of the way to purchase them then to just wait another 1.3 millisecond.
Anyways, I just had to share this story as it cracked me up

Wow....so much is a happenin'

Dear Avid Readers. I have never considered myself to be much of an avid sports watcher; however, maybe it's because it's in my "homeland" maybe becuase of all the controversy surrounded the event, maybe it's just because I've had a lot of free time on my hands, but I have been LOVING the Olympics and all the drama surrounding it this year.
I mean forget the fact that it is in Beijing and already there has been murder and suicide, but also a very Milli Vanilli esque lip-sync scandal. I guess the silver lining came with this man I like to call "Dinner"
Please meet my Mr. Filet James Blake. He is a mouthful of deliciousness who just last night beat Federer and will be the only US male in the Olympic finals. I know everyone is going goo goo ga ga over that Phelps guy, but c'mon girls, you don't even need beer goggles for this piece of Olympic heaven. Whether he is with hair or without he is a sight for Yours Truly to behold.
Secondly, seriously Spain? I mean not only to pose with the "Chinese Eyes" but then to not even apologize and to say that it was done via "affection" I mean that's how ridonkulous it is. In fact I was reading CNN.com and the President of the Spanish Basketball Association was actually quoted as saying, "It was a gesture of affection ... and identification with the Chinese people." With that being said, yours truly now feels like the Spaniards really understand me and my peeps and how we feel and how we see the world. Can you believe it? Absolutely unreal. That's my Olympic blog for now. More to come for sure.
