White Iphone, Psh.

Dear Apple, 

Your release of the white Iphone is no longer appealing. Where was this a year ago? I am personally an upset customer because at first I was willing to wait for this snow-colored Iphone, but wait no more. I've moved on, you lead me on way too long. I feel like a strung-along girlfriend. I can't just wait for you. I'm writing you this blog post to request that you make it up to your badass fan followers by coming out with multi-colored Iphones. Personally, I'd enjoy a nice hot pink or turquoise mobile device. I feel like this is the least you can do for not fulfilling my needs the first time around.

Your estranged lover,

Walking On A Dream

Empire of the Sun got me thinking, what would it be like to actually "walk on a dream"?
I'd like to take a stab at it.




I think it would be like your feet would be prancing on pillows filled with cotton candy. Or perhaps like dancing in a circle, on the moon. Or swimming in a pool of champagne, getting wasted but not hungover. Or tip-toeing on a globe and being teleported to your destination of choice by tapping it with  a freshly polished toenail.


Trippy.

Post Grad Life: 80 hours/week crunching numbers. Time for change?

Talking to many of my soon-to-be-graduated friends, they explain that they will be working long hours in their new jobs. 60 and 80 hour weeks are not uncommon in the life of a post-graduate trying to prove themselves.

I feel this is absolutely sanity and we as Americans should take a stand and model our days like the Europeans, who take frequent breaks during the day. I'd love a break for a beer.

Dear President Obama,
We need to establish a nation-wide break. I'm thinking around 12-2 CST.
Your thoughts?

Argue Against Yourself....

I have decided to argue myself on an issue that I am opinionated on.

Abortion. I'm all for it. I feel that women should have complete control over their own bodies However, here is my counter argument.


*If you are not capable of having responsible sex in the first place, you should bear the consequences of your actions. If you feel you are mature enough to participate in the act of sex, you should understand the aftermath that could be tied to this. Also, God created this act so that Man and Woman could pro-create. With abortion, you go against "God's Plan". You essentially take away a life.


Phew... That was hard.

Techno Take Over

If you haven't noticed, Techno is taking over the world.


It first started in Europe, where this type of music is normal. Techno and "raving" has now infiltrated the US, and is even on my favorite radio stations as early as 8 AM. (That's as early as I'm ever up) Many rap artists and pop stars have now added a techno flare to their new tunes. I'm not saying I'm not a fan, I'm just a little confused by the people who are converting to this genre of music.


Usher is one of them, which is a weird change of pace from his oldies. Anyone remember "Burn" or "Confessions"? What about Black Eyed Peas "Where is the Love?" Ya, they've been replaced with a new edgier techno sound.


Maybe Nora Jones will add some techno to her music to keep up with the times? Or even Michael Buble?


Seems to be a seller these days.

If I had my own Bikram Yoga Studio....

I'd eject soothing smells, like lavender and warm vanilla.
I'd make the floors hardwood, and the walls a rustic ware-house style.
I'd place two mirrors, one in the front and one in the back, that way you could perfect your poses.
I'd paint the lobby a soft green that invites and calms my visitors.
I'd probably want to live there. But I wouldn't.

The 7 year Wonder

Diet? What diet.

If the lurking rumor is true, I'd put Jenny Craig out of business. 

If gum really stays in your stomach for 7 years, swallow it! It should stick in your stomach, thus filling you up faster so that you wont scarf down meals! I prefer Trident Tropical Twist. 

Gum, get in my belly! 

Go ahead, eat the whole pack!

(Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, so you probably shouldn't actually swallow a whole pack of gum... Maybe if you're desperate.)
