Thought One for 2011

Genius idea of the day
I want to open a bar called TBD.
Pretend Conversation:
Friend One: Where are you going tonight?
Friend Two: TBD
Friend One: Okay, let me know when you decide and I will meet up
Friend Two (slightly annoyed): I told you, TBD
Friend One (emotionally hurt): You mean you might not want to meet up with me?
This would be really fun with emotionally unstable people. TBD could have a sister balled...
WatchMy gosh this is funny.
2011 Goal One
To Complete this
Training probably should have started yesterday.
What I mean at work
What your saying doesn’t resonate with me?
Could mean:
1. I really don’t understand what you are saying could you please try rephrasing it. This is most often in the context of “Your explanation isn’t really resonating with me”. I said this three times in one conversation yesterday.
2. I don’t like your point and am preparing to attack. I have digested...
Lesson of the day
It is okay (and often preferable) to say “I don’t know” and explain why you don’t know if you don’t know something than to ramble on and give wrong information.

“The square root of 69 is 8 ate something” Drake on What’s My Name
Apparently Drake wanted to subtle reference the number 69. 1996 called for timeliness infringement on when using 69 was amusing/clever.
UPDATE: I AM A HUGE MORON, THANKS KRIS FOR POINTING THIS OUT. SORRY DRAKE, SUPER CLEVER ACTUALLY.
Last word/expression rant of 2010 unless something...
Things I don’t want to hear once in 2011:
- Calling anything and everything creepy: Unless you encounter a child molester named Chester with a bald top of his head and long side hair and a white windowless van lets put creepy to bed for awhile. I follow admit I overused the fuck out of this expression.
- Beginning stories, status updates and/or posts with “So”: I am as guilty...

bblove:
Womens basketball is terrible. It is even less interesting, if that is possible, when one or two teams are habitually 30 points better than every team in every game, every year. Puhlease. Enough.
I am going to quote a classic to our friends at ESPN regarding my feelings about UCONN Women’s Basketball “You can not imagine the immensity of the fuck I don’t...

Life advice for 2011 (full credit for this goes to...
There is one person who can pull of priming 95% of his sentences with “Look”. It is President Obama. And Mr. President you may also want to pump the breaks a little bit on using “Look”. I get you are using it as either a qualifier or to balance sides of an issue or are trying to really get the focus of the room/country. You are probably one of the 20 smartest and most...
Dear Anyone who goes to a movie
Being home has given me the opportunity to do one of my favorite things - go to a lot of movies. I also wanted to get some support for a theory that my friend Girlie and I have formulated for years but really got into when she visited. It is a simple questions:
Why in God’s name does anyone wait in long lines for movie tickets when there is ZERO line at the automated ticket kiosk? I am...
Notes from working at Starbucks
I am working remotely from Arizona at the UMass Starbucks branch. After three days of working at AJs market and getting approximately 4% of what I needed to do actually done I have decided to work where I can be appropriately caffeinated.
Some observations:
1. Starbucks has to put Ritalin or something to that effect in their coffee. I am 1000% more efficient here.
2. Lots of weirdos...

Question
Could people recommend good blogs to follow?
Expression to use
Skin to win
While this is typically a saying reserved for Spring Break, however, I find myself using it all the time at 30 years old. A portion of that might have to do with the fact that I like to say absurd things but also a part of me thinks its sage advice. I also might be so into this expression because it is 25 degrees in Boston and you are lucky if you get to see a little bit of upper...
Word List
Words/terms I’d like to use more often and the context I’d like to use them in 2010/11:
- Delighted: I am delighted to see the Red Sox signed Carl Crawford while the Yankees tried to nickel and dime the greatest Yankee of the modern era.
- Judicious: I was being judicious when I turned down the seventh Patron shot
- Fetching: You look absolutely fetching in that lingerie Candice...

Dear Facebook Friends
I like you all at least a little bit. Some I would venture to say I love while others I, at the very least, don’t want get hit by a bus. To all, I wish a happy holiday season. Hopefully you are enjoying the new Facebook, I really haven’t made up my mind yet, any thoughts?
Enough chit chat. Let’s all make a deal right now. Instead of vague, thinnly veiled or cryptic status...
My favorite TV dialogue
Wilson: Everybody lies. Some for good reasons, some for bad. This would have been a fantastic reason to lie.
House: Hi, Greg House.
T: I don't really get intimidated in those type of meetings.
A: Because you don't care
T: That's probably it

Dear LivingSocial
Thank you for the daily updates of deals in my area. I assume you notice I put “Boston, MA” in preferred area because every fourth day you give me a riveting deal in Boston, MA. While I don’t always purchase said deals I think about them and am more inclined to one day visit the venue of said deal. Nice work.
Bone to pick though. I don’t live in Quincy. I don’t...

jonnybravo asked: Not to quantify our age, but the "bunny avenger" happened before the days of digital film and/or iPhoto. But best believe I got them shits on 35mm...now where's my scanner? I DO, however, have a photo of you touching my nipples in an entirely platonic way.

Back to class and some observations
Work decided someone needed to be SAS certified and who could program. Apparently, I had some street cred to spare so now I am going to be the SAS guy on a GFB. On one hand it is “punny” I get to work in SAS because I sass people often but I am not sure I am trying to get less cool.
The best part of being in a classroom setting is rediscovering classic characters from the classroom...
