Oh snaps.

Welcome to the internets. Where most of you spend countless hours during the week. We get paid to sit in front of the computer and pretend to do work, but really, we're finding out what Lindsay Lohan had for breakfast and googling awkward pictures of cats. Here's a toast (a blog toast because drinking is NOT allowed during work...) to all of you 40 hours a week craftsmen. Because let's be honest, we are all craftsmen. Do you know how hard it is to quickly exit a facebook browser?

Say Frog

Not quite, but sooooo stinking cute!

Tuesday Tunesday: The Alabama Shakes

Fuck the autotune.  Fuck the songs without any words.  Let's go back to music with instruments and a goosebump-giving voice.  I present to you the Alabama Shakes.  Listen to all of their stuff.  "You Ain't Alone" is one of my favorites...feel that pain girl...

Joseph Gordon-Levitt defines a hipster.

JoGoLe defines a hipster as "Someone who kind of dresses up like an artist but they don't actually make anything."  That couldn't be further from the truth!  I think hipsters make a lot - coffee, music, books, etc.  Haha!  PS Joseph Gordon-Levitt - you're a fucking hipster.  Embrace it.

The Swap-O-Matic

This reminds me of Geocaching because it's part of something bigger where you trade things that you don't really need in hopes that it benefits someone else.  The Swap-O-Matic is a vending machine art project that is traveling around Brooklyn where people swap goods for free.  You can either donate, take or swap.  It promotes a more sustainable way of trading through reusing.  In the below video they kind of use horrible examples - I don't think I would take a Pikachu toy...

Geocaching

This past weekend I went geocaching with some friends.  Never heard of it?  Well basically it's a giant game of hide and seek - a treasure hunt.  You basically get coordinates online or through an app on your phone, put them into a walking GPS and voila!  You're on your way.  We ended up at Brand Park in Glendale and my friends from LA who have never done this before (I used to do it all the time in Seattle) were surprised that it actually works.  Some of the caches are cool - they contain items for trading.  You get to take an item but you have to leave something else behind.  They can be stupid little trinkets or cool pieces of jewelry, books, etc.  Here are some pictures from our Geocaching adventure.  I plan on doing this at least once a week.  You should too!  There are geocaches all over the world - in over 100 countries, on all continents.  There are currently over 1.5 million archived geocaches and 5 million geocachers worldwide.

This is what you will usually look like searching for a geocache.  Some of them are hard, some of them are easy.  We were walking around with large sticks and hitting trees because our hint was "If you wiggle it above your head it will fall down."  Be prepared for lots of weird looks...


The 90 Square Foot Apartment

Only in New York City...
At least she lives in the "cool" part of New York?  I would die in the apartment...this is just too much, err, too little.

PS I think my cubicle at work is bigger than this apartment. I know this because I take naps under my desk.

The Facebook Status with the World Record

This boring ass status update is what one the Guinness World Record for the most comments.  Yes, it got over 1 million comments.  BORING!

Grassandals

Would you wear these?  I love walking barefoot in the grass just as much as anybody else, but these are just silly!  Australian footwear company Kusa has manufactured these...

Hot Couple Alert!

Well...one of them...

Elisabetta Canalis is confirming that she is dating Steve O.  Yes, the Elisabetta that dated George Fucking Clooney and the Steve O that likes to get paper cuts on his balls.  Why world, WHY?!!!

From my newsfeed.

I would like to recreate this.

Who's down?

Gotta Dance - The Movie

Over the weekend, I watched an amazing documentary on Netflix called "Gotta Dance."  Maybe I was hungover, but I absolutely loved it.  What is it about?  Oh you know, just your typical story about a hip hop dance team made up of senior citizens...yup.  Needless to say, it was adorable and uncomfortable all at the same time.  You NEED to watch it.  Fanny will win your heart.  Check out the trailer below...

Food for thought.

Music Monday! ThePeteBox.

Fucking amazing.  This is the first single from his new album "Future Loops."

Here are some GREAT tips!

You are very welcome.








Ferris Bueller's new Honda.

Here's the long awaited ad starring Matthew Broderick (Ferris Bueller) for Honda.  If you don't remember, he came out with a 10 second teaser last week which made everyone giggle with excitement.  Well here's what you "all" have been waiting for.  Womp womp.

Wanna know why you love Thin Mints so much?

Welp, that explains A LOT.

Demi Moore was doing Whip Its.


Apparently Demi Moore was doing Whip Its when she started having a seizure and her friends called 911.  Whip Its are a type of nitrous oxide inhalent - AKA what 7th graders do to get high.  Whip its?!  Really?!  This woman is almost 50 years old and she's doing whip its.  WOW.  Whenever I think of whip its I think of my favorite episode of Intervention - oh Allison.

Ladies! Get your Patriotic Pads now!

What a Ke$ha.  This is so awkward.  Who wears pads?!

This video took over 22 months to make.  Why?  Because it was made with 288,000 jelly beans!

Woman sings like a man.

...Wait for it...wait for it...BAM! WHOA. Cool?

Will you please repeat the word?

In all fairness, the speakers were faced toward the audience, so he couldn't clearly hear the word.  Also, fast forward through his intro - it's weird and you can't hear him anyway.

Vanilla Ice becomes a Hipster

What happens when Vanilla Ice (yes, that Vanilla Ice) moves to Echo Park?

Sometimes I feel terrible for local news reporters.  Sounds like this guy has had enough!

Texting While Walking

Last night I went to go meet up with a friend and almost died because I was texting and walking.  This is dangerous stuff folks!  Here are some tips on how to not die in a stupid way AKA texting while walking.

Call me Ishmael.

Celebrity Sleepovers.

Comedian and film maker Mark Malkoff visited LA and reached out to celebrities to sleep over at their house.  This is what happened...I'm surprised about most of these "celebrities."

2. Turn your eyes towards the wall/roof or somewhere else on a plain surface

3. Keep blinking your eyes quickly!

4. What can you see?

This will be on Sierra's car...

Heidi Klum and Seal are no more.


Heidi Klum and Seal are getting a divorce after almost 7 years of marriage.  I did the math - that's still 35x longer than Kim Kardashian's marriage to Kris Humphries.  Seal - what are you doing?!  Grab a fucking guitar and sing the following song over and over until she comes back to you!!


Posted on my facebook...
