Posner, Mike.


mix it, boi.


I am feeling Mike Posner. Hard. I can't seem to get his voice out of my head. He kinda reminds me of a male Macy Gray. I love the smoothness of his voice and lyrics. And I have spent a significant amount of time listening to all the tracks and remixes...they are all so damn catchy. I.am.obsessed. Right now my favorite is his cover of the The Fray: Over my Head Remix. You can be a groupie too...

"Tell us a Fun Fact" (C.O.D)

You know when you are in a group setting and everyone has to go around and and say their name and an interesting/fun fact about themselves in an effort to get to know them better?? Like "I am allergic to shellfish" or "I have 3 hamsters" or even "I like the color periwinkle". Another example is when your watching Wheel of Fortune and the players are introduced and they say something like "My name is Beverly, I live in Santa Fe with my 2 kids and I like to watch the Cowboys". Uhm, newsflash Bev, that is neither interesting nor fun.

I HATE THAT. I loathe that question and the awkward silence that precedes it. I am aware that it shouldn't be that hard to tell a tiny piece of information about yourself, but let's be real half of the shit that people come up with is lame; including myself. I never ever EVER have anything good to say. If someone reads this and could come up with a pocket response that I can use every time, I will give you my utmost respect.


**note I am not hating on Wheel of Fortune, just the idiots that are on it**

simple is underated.




I generally am not into art as I don't understand enough about it to "get it". However, marc johns i totally "get". Its simple and basic and I believe he uses ink and water colors. Above are a few of my favorites from his sticky note collection. Check it out.

Bring on the World Cup (and the sexy men that are in it)

In honor of the the 2010 World Cup, I have done some extensive research on the beloved football players. And by extensive, I google imaged them shirtless. I dunno what it is, but there is something about a soccer body.....yumo. Please realize this is not a complete list of the sexiness that FIFA brings to the table.

Carlton Cole. And his naked body.



Tim Howard. Maybe goalies should take their shirts off more often.


Oguchi Onyewu. I can't say your name, but I shall call you sexy.

Carlos Bocanegra. Unzip that warm-up, por favor?

Benny Feilhaber. You look too innocent.

A bone to pick

As ridiculously unrealistic as ABC's the Bachelorette/Bachelor is, I am an avid fan. I admit that I watch it despite the fact that I think it is an absurd concept for a show to "fall in love" in a matter of weeks with a group of hand picked men. On that note: here is my bone i have to pick with ABC... or maybe it's with Ali. Please observe the photo below. This is not all of the men that are currently on the show, but do you notice anything!? Yeaaaa they are all white, as in Caucasian as in NOT ethnic. I understand that this is a dating show and Ali probably has a certain "type" of man. Especially if she is following the lead of Jake (the previous Bachelor whom she dated), it would make sense that so many of them are tan, blonde and blue-eyed. Butttt it has to be said. She is missing OUTT. How boooorrrrrrringggg. Maybe she would have a better shot at "finding love" if she had more of a variety. Im just sayin'. Im also disappointed in ABC and their casting. Whomp! Let's spice it up a bit, eh? Im an equal opportunity employer and I believe that there needs to be some men of color in there!

THE BACHELORETTE - "Episode 602" - Twelve sexy guys meet  Ali at a beautiful Malibu beach house where they strike a pose for a  charity calendar photo shoot. A few unlucky bachelors find their  wardrobe leaves little to the imagination; however the guys do their  best to impress the Bachelorette, none more so than Ty, who steals the  show when he takes time to serenade Ali, on "The  Bachelorette," MONDAY, MAY 31 (8:00-10:02 p.m., ET), on the ABC  Television Network. (ABC/CHRIS CHAVIRA)CHRIS H., CHRIS N., TYLER V.,  KASEY, TY, KIRK, CRAIG R., ALI FEDOTOWSKY, JONATHAN, CRAIG M., STEVEN
