Flashback Friday!

I've been a slacker lately and I'm gonna be a slacker again this week because it is my birthday and I don't feel like being productive!

Flashback Friday!

was feeling kinda lazy and took a couple weeks off. this week is about songs that are less famous than their cover versions.

R.I.P. "Macho Man" Randy Savage

one of my all-time favorite pro wrestlers died on friday after a car accident that resulted from what's believed to be a heart attack.

growing up as a wrestling fan in the 80s, most kids were "hulkamaniacs". i always loved the "macho man". maybe it is because i knew that he was born and raised in my hometown of columbus, oh. maybe it was because he had the foxy miss elizabeth as his valet. i even entered a contest through pizza hut to try and win a trip to wrestlemania v so i could see him beat up his ex-friend hulk hogan, live and in person. i didn't win the trip but i did win a wrestlemania v t-shirt and wore it with pride even though he didn't beat the huckster hulkster.

so long, "macho man". you were one of a kind.

Seems I Wasn't Looking Hard Enough

after finding gilt groupe the other day, i stumble across another designer discounter website...

JackThreads is another members-only website selling designer clothing at discount prices. the selection is decidedly more hipster/casual than GILT's more upscale styles but it looks like they have some decent stuff.

sorry ladies, unlike GILT, JackThreads only carries men's clothing.

Flashback Friday!

why am i mr. pink?

because you're a faggot, alright!

Go Figure

so one day after i complain, i find GILT

What's a Boy to Do?

when it comes to personal style, i'm hoping to one day come close to the casual cool of steve mcqueen.

unfortunately, it's damn near impossible for a fella with a modest clothing budget, stockier frame and an extreme distaste for many of the styles popular for an under-40 man to pull that off these days.

here's why...

Strange & Indy 3

i like taking photos of strange and/or funny things...

Thoughts on Life, Death & Internet Friendship

most of this i wrote 4 years ago today when i found out my friend sean had died. it's been updated a bit...

What Are You Wearing?

jeeebus, i really slacked off with this...

i guess i shouldn't be surprised but i need to keep this going if i want to make any headway. i'll probably post a couple more of these today to show what i wore on saturday, sunday & monday.

here's the outfit du jour

Flashback Friday!

NOT wiggedy, wiggedy wack!

Flashback Friday!

remember jams? these guys do!

Q: What's Better Than Chick-Fil-A?

A: FREE CHICK-FIL-A!

despite the religious fundamentalism espoused by the founders, i am a huge fan of chick-fil-a. last june they introduced a spicy chicken sandwich that is the BOMB! next week they are rolling out a breakfast version on a biscuit as a regular menu item. this week - if you registered ahead of time on their website - they are giving the sandwich away to customers for free! i gots mine today and it was damn tasty!

What Are You Wearing?

i didn't bother posting one of these yesterday since i didn't leave the house until i went to work.

comfort and functionality are the main things i consider when getting dressed most days because:

1. i work in the middle of the night and spend a lot of time sitting down
2. as much as i like to get dressed up, i really don't need to "dress to impress" since i work with a bunch of guys and i'm a fan of the ladies.
3. i'm lazy

Stealing An Idea

one of my co-workers has a blog of her own where she documents what she wears everyday and how much it cost to pull off the ensemble. i thought it was a great idea and i'm thinking i'm gonna steal it from her. i kinda need to do some updating of my wardrobe anyway, ditch some of the things i don't really wear anymore and maybe wean myself from wearing my usual uniform of band t-shirt, jeans, hoodie and vans sneakers.

Tasty Delicious

i'm not a food critic - don't have any desire to be one, either. on the other hand, i do like to try new things as long as it isn't any of the disgusting looking seafood they used to use on the original japanese version of iron chef

since i got the email reminder that i get my free, chick-fil-a spicy chicken breakfast sammich on wednesday morning, i was reminded of the different restaurant concoctions i tried this year...
