Peep

maxxstarr.com

I'm not sure why Maxx has a website.

Probably for the same reason I have one.

Does it matter?

You'll click the link regardless.

I've known Maxx for close to ten years now.

Respect.

Quarterlife

I'm watching this show on NBC. I think it's the series premier on network tv. Apparently the show was first aired as a web series on MyspaceTV and Quarterlife.com.

Anyway, the show is about a group of mid 20's (get it Quarterlife). Anyway, I don't care to go too much into the details of the show (well also I'm only 9 minutes in at this point), suffice it to say that I'm tired of my generation being portrayed as underachieving, unsure of themselves, and jaded. But this is a show from the creators of My So Called Life so what do you expect really.

I don't know, maybe I'm out of touch with my generation. Actually now that I think about it, I know a lot of twenty-somethings that probably feel that way. Those are the people that I only talk to when I see them at bars though. That is before I leave early because I have a meeting, or training, or an appointment with a client the next day. Oh well. These are just some thoughts. The show isn't terrible. But where is the show that depicts how I feel and how my close friends and I are living? I need to make it!

Last night I spent a lot of time on this site that was linked from one of my favorite blogs. I literally spent hours watching and reading things on the site. So without further ado here it is.
Prepare to laugh yourself to death.

In other news everyone I work with decided to grow a beard this winter. And they're all quite successful at it. I can never grow a proper beard. I don't have the patience. I can though grow an amazing mustache so that is what I did. But that is tedious, and takes a lot of maintenance. So I have decided to grow a beard. But this isn't a full face beard. It starts about a half an inch forward of the jawline and then grows under my chin. Ta daa! I'm about two weeks in and it's starting to need a good combing. I'm not sure how long I will hold out.

Today was my day off. I get one a week. For months I had 2 days off a week. This sucks. Today I slept until 12 noon. Woke up, checked some blogs, Watched Oceans 11, went to the DMV to get my driving record, went to an ATM, went to my lawyers office to give him my driving record and the money from the ATM. In November I got a reckless driving ticket. In my '90 Mazda Miata. I have since sold the Miata, and now drive an '04 Audi TT. It's significantly faster. The Miata had 120hp and the Audi has 225. So yeah a bit faster. But the Audi has cruise control, so I think I'll be ok. My driving record has a lot of stuff on it. But my license is still at 0 points. Because everything on it is bullshit! So what I didn't have insurance, and a suspended license, and the front plate was in an improper location, and I didn't have an inspection! Come on! Give a guy a break. Haha, those are all from my wild and unsettled days though. The days that would have made great fodder for the writers of Quarterlife actually.

So back to my only day off. I was supposed to do laundry. But I didn't. I did nap though, and try to watch another movie.

Well I feel like I have sufficiently bored and prospective reader with the mundane details of my life. So I am going to go do something else mundane.

Starbucks Hilarity

Please go here.

It will make your day.

Chic and simple, this limited edition overnight bag is made from full grain leather in a warm caramel brown.

It's a celebration!

Remember me?
The teachers used to fail us
Now it's mo' scrilla, hoe killers
Fo' wheelers, we gorillas
Oh please feel us, we heat holders
Fightin? Listen boy, Roy Jones couldn't steal us.

The weather was gorgeous today.


Until I got off work. Then it got kinda shitty. I think I'm going to Ikea tomorrow. I like this:

Friend Zone

As much as I hate you, I seem to be exceedingly familiar with you.

What gives?

I think I'm just going to date myself. I like me. More than anyone else, it seems.

We get along great, and have for 24 almost 25 years. You always look and smell nice. You seem to have a lot going for you. You own your own company, you do well at work (what is it that you do exactly?), you drive a nice car, and live in a nice apartment. Hmm yeah I think I like you (me). Wanna date?

Yes I think I (me) do.

Goodnight, and screw you friendzone.

Gripes!

I don't like toll booths, or check card holds.

I don't understand either one.

Will someone please explain the point to me.

Ok, toll booths make a little more sense than check card holds. But they're both extremely annoying and inconveniencing to myself.

I mean, I pay for something. The money is in my account, why don't you just take it and let it dissapear? Why must it languish in financial purgatory for days on end?

This is a problem for me.

Oh also why have I apparently set up permanent residence in the "Friend Zone"?

I mean really.

Ok, hope everyone is having a great Valentine's Day!

You should know this about me. I have a weird bag obsession. I only own about 4 or 5 bags myself. Mainly duffels, a bowling bag, a decent messenger. But I love them. And something about this photo appeals to me.

A dandy on the go.

Oh man I'm gonna blog my fingers off!

Two vodka and cranberries, many hours of trial and error, lots of revisions and changes, hours of staring at computer monitors, and finally Getatthekid.com is worth looking at.

Only slightly.

It's just got some links on it pretty much.

And cute panda pics. I like pandas. Duh.

Gonna talk to some people about some printing stuff soon.

It's 2:39am. I'm going to go have another drink!

Yay.

I got a check today from the Audi dealership. Apparently I overpaid for some DMV fees, so they refunded me. Awesome!

Also payday is on Monday. I can't wait for that.

Gonna get my Holiday commission check finally.

Got some stuff to pay off and some shopping to do.

And of course saving a bit as well.

Stoked!

Goodnight!

Fun times!

Finally a logo!

This was done by the lovely Chelsey from chelseyisgross.com

Oh snap I'm blogging y'all!

So I think I'm going to get rid of my LiveJournal. I use my MySpace blog a lot, but I don't like having a lot of entries on there, so I'm going to start using this more often.

It's 2:09am.

I'm not even tired!

I wanna go cruise in my car.

I guess I'll settle for Inside Edition and leftover Mexican food.
