2 Please!

Every once in a while the world is shaken up by a great invention. Recently is was the Doritos Locos Tacos and Taco Bell. Great minds came together to bring us a tasty new way to eat tacos. Well there may be ANOTHER way to eat a taco that is equally as brilliant! No one is selling these yet but I’m sure they will be here soon enough. A blogger named Nick (great name BTW) came up with a new taco shell to fix that age old problem of losing the goodness inside the taco to the floor or your clothing. It is simply called the TACONE and it combines the world of the waffle cone and the delicious contents of a taco. Since no one is selling these yet, if you would like to make your own (Hell yeah I do!) then you can follow this link to get the recipe! I see a bright future ahead of us in the world of mexican food in a waffle cone. http://dudefoods.com/tacone/

Good Things That Are Bad.

I don’t even know what that is a picture of but I want 2 STAT! ….Ok, So whatever optimism in life you were holding onto before you began reading this should be gone by the end. Why? Because I’m going to ruin the GOOD things in life by showing you how BAD they are. Why would I do that? Well…because I found an article and read it and it ruined my day, so I thought I would do the good neighborly thing and share! (You’re welcome) Ok, it’s not that bad. It does kind of make you wonder why you are nice to people though. Speaking of which…(***WARNING TANGENT APPROACHING***) I just got done reading Frankenstein for the first time. Never seen any movies based on the book either, so the fact that the monster was a cool and educated dude with a little temper that just wanted to be loved, was kind of a shock to me! He was such a nice dude but everyone kept running away from him! Talk about doing good things and having them back fire. (see I knew it would tie-in to this post somewhere) Anyway, check out 4 good things that are actually BAD. Including Love, after the jump!

Once in a while I wake up in a bad mood and don’t really know why. Could be anything from my cat stepping on my head at 3am and then meowing repeatedly as if so laugh at my discomfort, to over sleeping. The way we all get ourselves in a better mood differ and mine usually has something to do with REALLY loud music or (see post below).

Bunch Of Whiners!

Nick Steele Leave a comment

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

Best Obituary EVER.

Nick Steele Leave a comment

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.

Chocolate Makes You Skinny!

Nick Steele Leave a comment

You read that title correctly. Finally scientist are studying things that I actually care about, Chocolate! Someone better send a notice to the Walgreens on my route home because I’m buying all of their Easter candy. Ok, maybe not ALL the candy…just the chocolate Snicker eggs. So good. Anyway back to the story, scientists at the University Of California, San Diego have proven that eating chocolate actually makes you skinny. Im sure that doens’t mean you should eat a pound of it a day, but we can hope right?

They tested over 1000 healthy men and women who worked out at least 3.6 times a week and ate a balanced nutritional diet. Some of them were given a reasonable amount of chocolate to comsume 5 times a week and some were not. Well, they found the ones that ate the chocolate had a smaller body mass index than those who ate it less often. This worked for a couple of reasons, check them out after the jump!

Job Advice

Nick Steele Leave a comment


We can all use a little advice when it comes to getting a job, especially if you are currently unemployed. I have always sucked at the interview process, mainly because of that dumb “describe yourself in 5 words” question. It always confuses me! Do they want 5 different adjectives, a sentence that contains only 5 words? If I say “hard worker” does it sound like I’m lying, cause it feels like I’m lying even though I am a hard worker. Are they rolling their eyes at the stereotypical words I use? WHAT! JUST TELL ME IF I GOT THE JOB! AHHHHHHH! (puffs on inhaler)

See? I had a mini panic attack just thinking about interviewing. I assume I’m not the only one who feels this way, thankfully I found a cool article with tips on what to do so that you don’t look like an idiot in the interview. Click the jump for 3 tips to help you out in future job interviews….

Your Resume Sucks.

Nick Steele Leave a comment


Most likely that’s a true statement, but you’re probably asking yourself why? Well it could be a very good resume, showing all of your work experience and every little thing you have done that makes you the perfect person for that job you applied for yesterday. The sad news is, according a new study, the guy (or girl) you gave it too probably only spent about 6 seconds looking at it. Kind of makes all those hours of obsessing if you should put your high school math award as a qualification pretty worthless huh?

How about putting that awesome picture you love from 10 years ago on your Linkedin profile? That’s a no-no as well. A job-matching company named TheLadder studied employers eye movements when looking at resumes and found 3 very interesting facts. Check them out after the jump….
