God Help Us, "Jersey Shore" is going to Italy. →
I. Can’t. Wait.
However, the only thing I can think is that Italy isn’t like the Jersey Shore. They already have a problem with Semester Abroad students who treat the city like a huge binge drinking paradise.
I just recieved an invite to Foursquare’s 2nd year anniversary. TDH and I went to the 1st year anniversary, because we REALLY wanted the swarm badge…and, at that point, realized we were both enormous dorks.
The invite came with a photo gallery of last year. Within this is one of maybe three photos of the two of us in existance. I’m wearing an old pair of glasses, because I...
I’ve taken the safety wheel off my life bike. Expecting to get a little bruised, but I’ll be flying in no time.
It’s gotten very real.

I've Got This
I had a little life hiccup recently, but the fact that I knew I couldn’t go running into the arms of a man, that I couldn’t depend on him to dig me out, that I couldn’t ask him to fix it, that I couldn’t lean on him to keep me from falling was the most liberating thing. I realized that I could dig myself out, that I could walk forward unaided, that I could stand alone,...

Grievances
There needs to be some sort of “no eating at your desks” rule in the workplace…or I need to be given some noise-canceling headphones.

It's Not False
Me: I think So-and-So is cute.
My Friend: You like two things: high maintenance men with old man names.

“The director was unable to work with Nicolas Cage, the film’s original villain....”
– From Frank Lidz’s story in The New York Times on the making of The Green Hornet (via gq) WTF Nick Cage? (via 8bitian)
I have never like Nick Cage…the reasons just keep piling up. He ruins all movies.
How do you spell rock bottom? →
“We’re told Bombshell and Bree befriended each other hours before their on-stage makeout session for Pauly Shore’s comedy show at The Palms on Sunday.”
We’re, told, and, for, at = the only words in that sentence that aren’t an enormous fart of humanity.

Track of the Day: “Pack Up”
Sure, the backing track is a straight lift from the R&B chestnut “Such a Night” (by the Drifters, Elvis Presley, Johnnie Ray, and so on), and maybe 22-year-old Eliza Doolittle comes on a bit like Amy Winehouse-lite, but the tune works, and its climb to number five in the UK last year seems like something of a triumph in the midst of some truly dire...
What I wished for on 11:11 1/11/11
A radio or tv gig. I really want to get into broadcast.
That my niece will grow up to be a huge success. She wants to be a fashion designer. Honestly, she’s been ridiculously fashionable ever since she was first able to pick out her own clothes.
By the end of January, I can jump onto my next big career platform.
The rest are secret, but I promise #ManFreeJan was upheld. :)

popculturebrain:
What.
Is it wrong that I read this as outGROSSes, as in YUCK rather than makes more money? I really hate musicals…and I hate Wicked most of all.

New Rule #55--Ordering out
rookiephenom:
When “ordering a pizza,” and if the deal breaks through, don’t get mad at me or snap at me.
Chances are (1) There was something beyond my control that I couldn’t be available, and (2) I probably won’t order from you again.
I love that “ordering a pizza” is catching on. :)
A booty call should be as easy and convenient as ordering a pizza. However, Dave…it...
It's been 7 days of #ManFreeJan
I set up a meeting that I’m very excited about. Got to keep pushing forward!
I’ve worked out every day
My apartment is nearing immaculate
I’m getting all aspects of my life in order
I feel very, very positive. I’m not walking out of this month empty handed. Instead I’m going to be double fisting the pimp cups of a$$ kicking.
I’M HAVING THE WORLD’S...

Remember that scene in “The Rock” where Nicholas Cage injects adrenaline straight into his heart to avoid death by horrible face-melting poison? Tumblr, you are our 12-inch needle of life.

Man Free For One Month →
I’m going man free for a month. No dating, no flirtations, no hookups. Instead, I’m using January to get busy. There is a lot to be done and I’m going to kill 2011. There will be plenty of time for the guy stuff…and once I’m in a better place, there will be even better guy stuff. :)
Do you for one month. Set up your year for greatness. Spend one month...
This part SUCKS!
Every girl has the one slight flirtation that they text when they’re feeling a bit bored. Just a little check-in: “Saw something, thought of you!”, “This weird thing just happened to me.” Giving that up for #ManFreeJan is probably going to be the most difficult part. But it’s a very important part. Think of where else you could put that time and energy!

Guy: So what about your romantic life. Where does that stand?
Me: I'm not attracted to a lot of guys, so I'm a tough cookie to crack.
Guy: Why do you think that is?
Me: I have the opportunity to be selective, so I am.
I went to dinner with a friend of mine last night before the New Year’s Eve festivites. Over a pitcher of margaritas, she told me the following: “You are the kind of person that people want to know. You are mysterious in all the right ways, but you are so open and approachable. You have this greatness about you, but people can still come up to you at a bar.”
I love that.
