I’m THAT guy?

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Maybe you’ve heard me talk about my Blackberry on the air before. I love my phone. I have everything on it. I don’t go as far as calling it my “Crackberry” because I can unplug every night when I get home and on the weekends with no issues.

One are of concern is when I come into work everyday. I have a habit of checking my Blackberry for new e-mails as I walk down the steps from the parking garage.

My heads down, and I may walk a bit slower as to not fall down a flight of stairs. Well, today I became “that guy”. I never realized that my e-mail checking habit can potentially slow down members of our society from starting their miserable day.

I got to the bottom of the stairs today and the guy behind me rushes by me and threw an obscenity under his breath my way.

Wha, what? Really? I slowed you down to the point where you have to voice your displeasure with me under your breath? Oh, and this guy had a greezy pony tail. Like I need this? Like I need a verbal lashing from Steven Seagal over here?

When I first saw Simon Cowell hawking Leona Lewis as the next big pop sensation, I was a bit skeptical, since he was her manager. Biased a bit, aren’t we? Not to mention, she’s quite hot, so I was painting a picture that he was having a lovely part-time shag with his latest prodigy, pulling a Jay-Z/Rihanna tactic *wink wink*.

But once I heard her sing, it’s clear she can belt out a song. Then my natural inclination was to lump her into the same category as Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears, so I’ve been sitting on the edge of my seat each day waiting for her to flash her cootchie, or end up in rehab. Because that’s what I live for.

But damn it. The girl is an angel. She was caught saying, “I don’t wear little miniskirts and low-cut tops. If you want to show your bits off, it’s up to you.” She also doesn’t eat any animal-related products. Nor does she drink. Or smoke. Or do drugs. Refuses to wear leather and doesn’t even like going out.

I was about ready to write her off as a nun and a lost cause until she revealed her idea of a wild night

“Playing Grand Theft Auto.’”

God, I think I’m in love.

Sluts. Sluts everywhere.

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Continuing from yesterday’s blog, I wanted to hear more stories about office sluts.  Male or female here, I certainly won’t discriminate based on gender.  Some questions to think about:

-Would you ever date the guy who is known as “the office slut”?

-Can you tell if someone is the office slut by the way they look or dress?

-Know anyone who tried to sleep with the boss in order to get ahead?

-Should I install a hidden camera in my office since it is apparently such a hotbed for sexual activities?

Maybe there’s money to be made online, yes?

Spezzano and Sandy touched on it this morning and I’m bringing it up because it’s part of my life…talking about Grand Theft Auto IV.  Now, I wasn’t waiting in line at midnight to buy the game like some people I know, but you’re damn right I am buying it tonight.  Am I a great role model or what?

Seriously, this is ADULT ENTERTAINMENT.  It’s no different than the other activities and entertainment we shield our kids from.  I promise you that this will stir up more controversy that any other form of entertainment has in a long time.  Remember 2 Live Crew?  That’s the kind of controversy I am anticipating.  Game changing controversy.  Let’s do our job as parents and keep our kids free of this.  If they do get their hands on it, have honest conversations about good and bad, fantasy and reality.

Or do what I am planning…institute early bedtime in your house for the next 3 months.

I have an addictive personality.  Presently, I am addicted to:

98PXY.com

Xbox 360

Sugar

Beer

Sex

Digg.com

Running

Lost(New episode tonight.  Shut up!)

MUSE

…to name a few.

People have been telling me to do something for quite a while.  I have resisted, not because I don’t understand it, rather, I don’t know if I can handle another addiction in my life at this point.

I’m talking about Facebook.

I have no loyalties to Myspace,  but I do have a decent network of friends and professionals on there.  The thought of starting from scratch on another social network site irritates me.  So tell me:

Facebook vs. Myspace pros and cons

Which do you spend more time on?

Which site is easier to make friends/contacts on?

Gotta love the guy who kicks it old school.  This may as well be me, btw.  I’m not anti-tech by any means, but if I’m taking notes…pen and paper all the way.  Also, look at all of the Macs! This is like Bill Gates chilling nightmare of the future. I feel like a “cool kid” now because I convinced Sandy that we should invest in a Macbook Pro.
