Sex on Fire as a ringtone

Is that ok with everybody? It's my new favorite song by Kings of Leon, and I think it's just fine as a ringtone. However, people in my office heard it today and thought it was crude. Eff that. So maybe it's not appropriate for the office environment, but otherwise, I'm keeping it. Check it out if you want.

So how's everyone doing? It's been a while. I seem to remember saying something about taking it easy and focusing on spending more time with the stella artois friends in my life. Well, let's just say I'm trying. It's hard though, to avoid the routine of the social scene. Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday are automatics, and every once in a while I'll be dangerous and mix in a Monday and/or Thursday. So as you might guess, cutting back has been difficult. And my miller lite friends are not being supportive. However, continuing to go out has its rewards. I've now introduced the Haiglebomb to dozens more lucky Raleigh-ites, and last week, even to some San Diego-ans. Check out the size of this sushi roll I had in San Diego! It was about 2.5" in diameter. And it was en fuego. No way can you eat this thing without losing half of it in your soy sauce or lap. And its not bad enough that the damn thing is so huge, but there has to be this table full of young ladies sitting within three feet of me just laughing their pretty little asses off. I had several comebacks at the ready, but I decided to swallow, not spit.

Coming of age

People say I'm the life of the party cuz I tell a joke or two. And they're usually right. But recently, I've changed my stance on being the life of the party. Maybe its my age, maybe its what I've been going through, or maybe its just a phase. But something in this guy is a changin'.

Like most (I hope), it is always positive reinforcement to know that "hey, people like me" - but until recently, I think I was more focused on quantity rather than quality. You know, you have your miller lite friends, the dozens of folks you know on a full-name basis (thanks facebook) and enjoy seeing at bars and out on the town. And then you have your stella artois friends, the ones you really like to spend a lot of time with. The ones you take your time getting to know, and the ones you know will always be there for you when you need them.

So I think I'm going to take a little break from going out, from facebooking, from blogging, from meeting new people just for the hell of it. A new approach is needed and warranted. I'm going to focus on getting to know my good friends better. Who knows if its the right move? I guess some of you will find out, others won't! Until later, adieu.

Remembering Ray LaFontaine

Slow day at work...

I know I'm a day or so late on this...but who cares. I'm not google or cnn. Get your breaking news elsewhere. I just wanted to celebrate the life and accomplishments of the man with the golden [movie trailer] voice.

Just think of how many trailers he must have done...and how some of the scripts must have been so awful, he could barely get through them. For example, "The Day After Tomorrow" is my favorite trailer of all time...it's probably the worst name for a movie ever.

"Just when you think you're safe, the most horrific winter storm of all time attacks...its... 'the day after tomorrow'. But if it doesn't hit until tomorrow, it'll be "today". And if it doesn't come until Saturday, it'll be "two days from now"... but i digress. Ray could make anything sound unbelievable. I paid my 7.50 to see The Day After Tomorrow, and I have to admit, the trailer was better than the movie.


He will always be remembered and admired for having a talent no one else can put on their resume. Good luck to anyone trying to follow in his golden footsteps.

The haiglebomb...my latest creation

Who likes jagerbombs? If you're not raising your hand, please discontinue reading. Talk to you later.

For those still with me, I think I've created a new twist on the old reliable jagerbomb shot. It takes a bit of the edge off the typical jagerbomb (which should help you convince the more proper ladies they can handle it) and won't cost any more!

You ready?
Here are the ingredients of the "haiglebomb":
1.5 oz Jagermeister
1.5 oz Red Bull
1 large orange slice (not the drink, the fruit)

Directions for use: Pour jager in first, follow it with Red Bull, then take the orange slice and squeeze the juice into the mix. Try to avoid slices with seeds.

I wouldn't recommend trying too many of these in one night, but trust me, it's a new fad that's sweeping the nation. Give it a try this weekend and let me know what you think.
