Cool
Just Sleep Naked!
With it being as hot as it has been lately, my AC has been working all night and all day long. Still it won’t go below 75 in my apartment and for me to sleep it needs to be at least 65 degrees. Otherwise I will toss and turn and be grumpy in the morning. It has been an issue with me for about a month and I just can’t seem to cool down so I can go to sleep. So usually I just strip and sprawl out in front of the fan like a dog! Thankfully I found this article that gives me some helpful tips on how to get cool at night. If you have the same problem as me then you may want to take a look!

Science Breaks Down “Cool”
Well if that isn’t an oxymoron then I have no idea what would be. A bunch of science geeks got together to figure out the formula for being “cool.” Nothing cooler than that right? Thankfully these scientists have the spare time on their hands “Why are we trying to cure stuff? Let’s find out why Skylar was the most popular kid in my high school, now THAT’S Science!” So basically what they did was follow me around for a month so they could see how cool people live. Then they put together the top 11 qualities that make me so awesome and you can check them out after the jump!

Watch History Unfold
We all want to make our mark on history in some way. Well today isn’t that day…instead history will happen around you for your to see and be jealous of, fun right? What I’m getting at is there is something happening today called the “Transit of Venus” and it’s basically like an eclipse with the planet venus instead of the moon. Except the whole blocking out the sun thing that you imagine when you think of an eclipse. This will be a small dot on the sun that you CAN see but wouldn’t probably notice if I didn’t just tell you it was going to happen (see picture above… no thats not a freckle…it’s Venus). The history part is that this only happens every 100 years or so. If you miss is today you will most likely never see it again because the next time it will happen will be the year 2117. It happens in 2’s and this is the second time. The first was June 2004 but then it disappears for a century. It will happen at 6pm EST today and you can see it with one of those eclipse viewers. If you need to learn how to make one or would like more info about this event check out the link HERE
You Don’t Say?
You were 16 and thought that in order to get “respect” you had to do something INSANE like getting a tattoo of your girlfriends lips on your cheek. Or how about that Mickey Mouse holding a shotgun one that wouldn’t make any sense anywhere else but on your neck. Were you really living the “thug life” when you got those words tatted on your fingers? Well NOW you want a job and don’t understand why the bank won’t hire you. You’re not alone.
It turns out that tattoo removal has gone up 32% in the last year, with 40% of the people surveyed saying that they did it so they could find a job. Another 18% of people got theirs removed because it was an ex’s name. We all knew it was going to happen, but you didn’t believe us. Why? Because he was the “love of your life” and you would never break up and after high school you were going to move in together and live happily ever after (Am I hitting to close to home with anyone? My bad). So kids, think about where your putting those tattoos before you get them.
With all that said, isn’t the one in the picture the most AWESOME neck tattoo you have ever seen! That guy is totally forgiven and hired!.
*ATTENTION* Single Men!
No, I’m not saying I’m single and that you have any kind of shot. I know, you’re disappointed but this delicious scoop of vanilla is on someone else’s ice cream cone. Plus, I like chicks so there’s that. What I WAS saying was that although you are single you can have the “girlfriend” experience with this new website GirlfriendHire.com where women post ads for the girlfriend-like tasks they will do for you. No not THAT you little perv, this isn’t a porn site! They WILL critique your clothing choices, send you flirtatious text messages, post on your wall to make another woman jealous, whatever. Every task will cost $5 just like the website Fiverr. So if you wanna “pretend” you have a lady friend OR just don’t wanna do your laundry (i’m sure that’s in there) then you should check it out!
And Yes, we all think you are a sad and lonely man…like the guy in the photo, but do what you gotta do boo boo.
It’s About Time!
They have finally accepted the new generation! By “they” I mean the the National Broadcasting Alert System. All the major US carriers will go live with an emergency alert system on your cell phones. You will get text warnings for tornados, flash floods, earthquakes and more. You CAN opt out of these alerts however, you won’t be able to avoid a presidential declaration of a national emergency. The carriers are: At&t, Cellcom, Cricket, Sprint Nextel, T-Mobile, US Cellular, and Verizon Wireless. I think this is way over due with the vast amount of cell phone customers there are now. Will it work? We will see when the first alert hits!
Be More Creative
Do you ever feel like you’re not creative enough at work? We all have days where the brain just does NOT want to cooperate. You find yourself staring at the computer for 2 hours making no progress what so ever on the project that is due the next day. It’s hard to be creative sometimes and you wish that someone would just help you squeeze out those juices of greatness. Well I actually found 4 tips for those of us who get a little “blah” once in a while. Who knew you could trick your brain so easily! Check them out after the jump.
Best Obituary EVER.
I think I’m going to start writing mine now! I have to find a way to top this one that was done in Denver Colorado. Tell me this is not the most GANGSTA obituary ever written!
“Weary of reading obituaries noting someone’s courageous battle with death, Mike wanted it known that he died as a result of being stubborn, refusing to follow doctors’ orders and raising hell for more than six decades. He enjoyed booze, guns, cars and younger women until the day he died.”
It has everything! Ok, time to get to work on what mine will say.
