Has It Gotten THIS Bad?

Nick Steele Leave a comment

So apparently kids are texting and facebooking and tweeting so much inside movie theatres that companies are thinking of doing something about it. I don’t understand what you’re facebooking about? I know I sound all “old” and stuff but I grew up with the tech age just as much as the kids did and I don’t see the point. I just paid $12 to watch a movie, there is no way I’m missing any part of it because I want to comment on my friends picture. It’s not like they can update about the movie that no one has seen right?

Anyway some ideas are floating around about making a

Seriously Considering This

If I knew that the operation wasn’t going to be done by a guy who quote “watched a lot of Grey’s Anatomy” then I would probably already have just one kidney (and if my perfect body didn’t end up looking like the picture above). Oh, and the fact that it’s completely ILLEGAL. But who knew that body parts on the black market could bring in so much money! Most of the items you will have to be dead to sell so it kind of defeats the purpose but the ones that will bring you the most money can be given up while alive!

A website compiled a list from FBI and other government reports to figure out how much different body parts are worth on the black market. The high priced one is your Kidney and it will fetch about $262,000! Sign me up! I don’t need the other one that much. Click the jump to find out what the rest of your body is worth

Not A Morning Person

Nick Steele Leave a comment

I am definitely not what you would call a “morning person” so I have to take time to wake my brain up before I can get moving. Laying in bed and watching TV helps but it still takes me about 2 full hours before I am completely awake. I just don’t understand how people can pop up at 4am and be all jolly by 4:30. Thankfully I found this list of 5 ways to kick start your brain in the morning for when I have to get up before 10am. If you have the same problem you should take a look after the jump!

Probably Stoners

Nick Steele Leave a comment

I found an article on this website called coolmaterial.com that broke down 9 beloved movie characters that were most likely stoners. It also explains why they feel this way. Making the list was:

Yoda
Fat Bastard
Dr. Emmett Brown (Back to the Future)
Shaggy (duh!)
Rex (Toy Story)
Neo (Matrix)
Crush (Finding Nemo)
Bella (Twilight)
and Willy Wonka.

Cat People Are Awesome.

Nick Steele Leave a comment

I found another reason us Cat people are AWESOME! I know you dog people mean well, but let’s face it…you suck. KIDDING! As long as you love your animals you are ok in my book! Anyway, Cat people are the best people because of this survey done by the ASPCA on how they choose which pets they want to adopt.

People who adopt dogs say that the reason they chose the dog they did was because of the dogs physical appearance. The people who chose to adopt cats (the good people) chose the cat based on it’s personality and how it interacted with them. See what I’m saying? You feel like a horrible person now don’t YOU!

Awwww let’s not fight, both animals are adorable!

Before You Move-In Together…

Eventually, that person you have been dating for 10 years in going to want to move-in with you right? Some of us have never lived with another person before (since mom and dad) and would have a hard time adjusting to everything. When you “share” a living space with someone things are no longer where YOU want them to be but where BOTH decided.

You relationship is doomed to fail if you never learn the word “compromise” especially when you decide to move-in with them. I found some key tips from 11points.com and MSN on what to be prepared for and how to solve the problems you are going to be facing.

Bunch Of Whiners!

Now I am lucky enuogh to have a wonderful woman in my life that “completes me” but there are some people out there who don’t. I get it, it sucks being alone and having no one to care if you die or not but I can probably figure out why that is. You STINK of desperation!

I am kind of disturbed by the survey that I found that said that %75 of men and %70 of women  who have GREAT salaries would be willing to

Everyone Has A Secret Recipe

Nick Steele 1 Comment

It seems that the whole grilling world, or at least %50 of them, have some sort of special recipe for cooking the perfect piece of meat. I am totally one of them! I can cook you a mini hamburger that will knock the taste buds out of your mouth. Webber Grills conducted a survey and found that half of the people surveyed have either a special ingredient or marinade that sets them apart from the rest. What those people really should be saying is “I’m going to pretend like I took the time to experiment with 100’s of ingredients to find the perfect combination, when in reality I was broke and all I had in my fridge was Hamburger meat and peanut butter” (been there!)

No matter to me how you grill it as long as I get a taste! I can’t wait for Summer to start so I can go buy a new grill and start cooking up the greatness! I have a special ingredient by the way…

What Debt?

Nick Steele Leave a comment

I laugh in the face of debt! (HA HA) That’s probably because my phone has caller ID and when I screen the call I can say what ever I want. I don’t have any friends with 800 numbers. NICE TRY!

Most of us have at least a little bit of debt right? Then there are people like me who didn’t even know what “Credit” was until I couldn’t buy something with it. What amount of debt would it take for you to start panicking? After a national survey the number sits at $22,927. After this amount is when people start to go crazy and stress out. Me on the other hand, I stopped freaking out a LONG time ago because I decided that I don’t ever want anything nice that I can’t buy CASH (or lay-a-way). Yep, I’m a baller like that.

So again, I laugh in the face of my mountain of debt! HA…..ha…..ha….

Did you think the same thing that I did, Jeopardy is still on the air?

They are officailly calling it “Power Players Week” and will have a bunch of celeb and media personalities playing for charity. Including Kareem Abdul-Jabar, Lewis Black and Anderson Cooper.
