Wasted Guy Puts on Sandals

I just saw this on Diana's wall and had to repost.

The viral video is such an interesting thing. You can't fake it or force it or stage it. Though people often try to.

Sometimes these wonderful little moments just occur. And someone happens to be there with the presence of mind and a camera to capture it.

It's lightning in a bottle.

Simple. Effortless. And so magical.

Moth Mayhem

A gigantic mutant moth escaped from a mad scientist's lab and flew into Bobby's apartment this morning. He turned on his webcam to document his attempt to get rid of it so that others would know what happened to him should the moth have won out.

Make sure your sound is on.



I think I would have screamed more.

Hilarity.

David after the dentist

Diana sent me this hilarious video of a little kid all high on the good legal stuff after leaving the dentist's office.

This video has been making the internet rounds, because kids are funny! And they are magic! But honestly, I think this is most of us every weekend. How many times have you said to yourself "Is this real life?" and "Is this going to be forever?" This kid is inside my brain.

What NOT to do after a first date...

The following is a INSANE email exchange that our little friend "Shelley" was a victim of following an apparently not-so-super first date. Keep that in mind. They went on ONE date.

I mean...if you got this kind of crazy email from someone (and oh god it is CRAZY) could you really keep it to yourself? Ich don't think so.

This thing is going viral.

It's up there with that infamous craigslist post.

Enjoy.

Hey dork,

Did you get lost in Ohio? Lol!

If you aren't interested in hanging out again, no big deal, just let me know.

I don't want to keep reaching out to you if you're not interested. This is not a good look for me ;) Lol!

and to be honest, I have someone who wants to go out with me but I've been holding off because I thought we had fun and wanted to continue to hang.

I'm a pretty upfront and honest person. Not really into the games, so just let me know.

Hope all is well otherwise and you had a nice thanksgiving.

If you do want to meet up again, just let me know.

I think I mentioned this to you but I have a very cool art museum lined up (my friend is a phenomenal artist) that I also thought you'd like to check out.

And wanted to try two restaurants in my new area (one French, one Italian) and I figured you'd also want to see my new apartment and critique it compared to the 50 year old sea hag interior designer who helped me out. Lol!

Hey sorry for not getting back to you; I just don’t think it’s going to work out. I have a lot going on with work and what I’m going to be doing in the next few months so I just need to focus on that. I had fun, I’m just sort of unavailable right now. Hope you understand. Good luck with this other girl though.

I don't like the other girl silly, I like you.

What does work have to do with me? Work is insane for everyone right now.

Being unavailable because of work is totally understandable.

No one knows that more than me.

I'm not looking for something serious, I don't even know you.

Is that the impression you got?

I just thought we had fun and wanted to casually hang and see what happens.

If it's work, we could work around that, I'm very understanding, but if you just think I'm ugly, mean and your not attracted to me, then that's another story.

Is it really just work?

Wow... ok, well if you really want a brutally honest answer...

First of all, yes, work really does suck right now. I'm going to be laid off at some point this week which is something I probably shouldn't know but we're a small company and everyone knows each other's business, so basically I'm just sitting around waiting to be called down to hr. That said, I'm bummed because I love my job but this new found freedom is giving me the opportunity to study in Italy which is something that I've been wanting to do for a long time now. So if all goes accordingly, I will be leaving in the middle of January for at the very least a year. Reason number one that this won't work out...

Reason number two is that I'm still a little hung up on my ex-boyfriend. The event that I was supposed to go to on the Thursday we hung out was a charity auction that he was putting on. It seemed like a good idea for me to go out with someone else rather than put myself through a night of torture where I was just sitting wishing that we were still together. Sorry if it seems like I used you but I guess you never know where things will go unless you try. Plus I had a lot of fun on Halloween and thought maybe there could be something... but at the end of the night I just didn't feel any sparks.

Hope this isn't too honest but it seems like this is what you wanted. Good luck with everything.

-Shelley

This makes SO much more sense now! Thank you.

So, first off with your job, you're going to get screwed because you are probably one of the youngest at HBO. Sometimes they keep younger folks that really love there job because they don't have to pay them that much but usually the first happens. The bottomline is to make connections, learn from the experience and move on. There are a million jobs out there, especially in the city. That is one of the beauties of living in NYC. And you're not in finance. There are a lot of people in worse shape than you. I bet you could actually get paid even more at your next position and find something just as fun and something you love just as much. In regards to Italy, I think you should go. Sometimes these things happen for a reason and the older you get and more ingrained you are with your job, the harder it is to do something like travel. I think Italy would be an amazing experience and if you have the opportunity to explore and learn from it, you should do it. The only negative I see there is I've had a lot of friends do this and come back a year or two later and just felt that they were behind in terms of career growth. A lot almost had to start lower and take pay-cuts, then work there way up. But bottomline is they all are doing well now and don't regret the experience. There is a lot more to life then just money. If Italy is something that will make you happy, then absolutely do it.

You are intelligent, beautiful and have your sh-t together. You are an asset to anyone who hires you. Don't let this job get you down. A lot of layoffs are just a number and timing game and have nothing to do with the individual. Do not take it personally.

Secondly, don't get mad at me here, I'm just typing quickly cause I have to hop on a call but SPARE me with this "I'm still in love with my ex drama bs."

I had no idea you were even still into someone and how on earth could you judge "me" when we met for 4 hrs and 1/2 of that time we were piss drunk on a boat looking like morons. LOL! That's insane.

You have to spend a little more time than 4 hrs at Doc Watsons to know. Lol! I'm sorry to laugh but that's just ridiculous, plus how could I ever of got a real shot with you when you are thinking about your ex. I was set up to fail, hands-down. And that's bs.

But in the end, this is your loss. I'm totally not saying that in a d-ck way.

I've dated two girls seriously in my life, 3 years each. One was a lawyer and one was a model/designer/actress.

I was even linked to Britney Spears for awhile but that's another hilarious story which didn't go over so well in the tabloids with my parents. LOL!

The point is they all have said "I'm so perfect, caring, smart, loyal, rich, amazing, great heart" etc. and I could cc them on this email and they'll tell you.

And those are my ex's. My friends will all tell you. My little sister will tell you.

So, when you didn't call me, I thought it was so strange. I felt like "she's cool, but really need to get to know her more to see".

That was my take on the night. You can't judge someone after an awkward first date where I wore a sweater with a number on it so you could even recognize who I was. LOL! That's just ridiculous.

Listen, you obviously are not together with your ex for a reason. And instead of relaxing and moving forward you are holding onto something that isn't meant to be. I'm not asking you to date me. Now knowing what you're going through, I don't think you should be even close to dating.

Even if we learn that it's not going to work out, we still could be friends. I don't think ignoring everyone and dreaming about the glory days with your ex is the right thing to do.

I'm sure you're pissed at me now for saying all this, but I said it. And I'm sure your sister and friends will agree with me, even if they aren't telling you.

And I'm sure your ex is a really great guy but you can't force to be with him.

And stop selling yourself so short. You're smart, young, beautiful. You can do whatever you want. You don't need to dwell on someone that doesn't like you.

There's alot more out there and I'm sure you can do a lot better if you give people a chance. If he let you go, obviously, he's not that perfect.

And if your not together, there's obviously a good reason for it.

And because you are in such a fog with this ex, you aren't giving anyone else a chance. Forget me, no one will ever be able have a chance with you.

And that's terrible.

And to be really honest, I guarantee there isn't anything that your ex has that I don't. Not to be too blunt about it, sorry, it's probably the truth, but that doesn't matter anyway because you'll never know until you take your guard down and get out of this fog with your ex to see it.

I broke up with my ex a year ago. It's hard and I understand what you're going through, but at the end of the day, I know I made the right decision. I didn't force it. But I certainly didn't judge her after our first date for 4 hrs. If that was the case, I would of thought she was a snotty model with no personality. And that definitely wasn't the case. Infact, we used to laugh about that all the time.

I'm impressed your moving on but you also better not be "disappearing" in Italy because you don't want to deal with you ex.

Cause that is not the answer as well.

And I do think it's unfair that because you didn't want to see your ex, you decided to pass the time with me.

No offense, but I'm worth a lot more and have a lot more to offer someone.

You shouldn't feel you are settling with me. You should be showing me off.

Could you imagine if I was like "oh, my ex just canceled on me so I guess I'll meet Shelley and hope my ex texts me while I'm out with her. And just to be safe, I'll pick Doc Wastons."

That's ridiculous! Be stronger with yourself and move on.

I was lucky to meet you and I think the timing was perfect. And you started out giving us a chance, but then quickly threw up your guard and jumped into your fog comfort zone again.

And instead of just relaxing with me and hanging out, because of it, you judged me (being in your fog) & thinking about your ex and all this after a 4 hr stint at doc watsons. Let me ask you a question, with all that being said, what sparks did you think were going to fly there between us? Lol! Seriously!

I could have Bar Raphael in front of me and wouldn't of been interested in that state. Did you purposely also pick Doc Watson's to make it fail as well. Lol!

I'm not mad at all. I'm actually enjoying this conversation.

I just think you may be missing out on something really great and you deserve a lot more then where you are with an old ex.

If you do want to hang out again, now this time you owe ME dinner. Cause you were pre-judging and should of told me your situation before we met.

You are now punished.

Gotta hop on a 4:30 conf call, damn this email is way too long.

Write back.

Chris

I have to give props to Shelley for having the class and courtesy to even respond to this guy MULTIPLE times and for trying to give him a brutally honest answer.

A lesser person would have just blown him off from the get-go.

But then none of us would have been able to witness this treasure trove of ridiculousness.

Woman Wearing Cow Suit Charged With Disorderly Conduct

(Thanks to Kathryn for this one.)

MIDDLETOWN -- A Middletown woman is accused of being disorderly in public -- while wearing a cow suit.

A police report filed about the incident said Michelle Allen allegedly chased children in her neighborhood while wearing the suit on Monday evening.

Allen also urinated on a neighbor's front porch, the report said, and was warned by officers to go home and stay there.

Allen was charged with disorderly conduct after an officer found her causing traffic problems on North Verity Parkway.

The officer's report stated that Allen was verbally abusive to him on the trip to jail and smelled of alcohol.

The report did not speculate as to why Allen was wearing the cow suit.

Taj pics coming soon!

Finalizing the pics from the Taj Mahal. There are a lot. Hopefully will be ready by Monday.

In the meantime, I will leave you with an absolute gem. Probably the funniest, most memorable picture from our entire trip.

........................

You know how they say some people just have an "eye" for photography? An innate sense of what looks good that really can't be taught?

Well...for every person who is naturally gifted at composing a photo, there is one who is the exact opposite.

Our dear friend BennySchneider is one of these opposites.

........................

"Ben! Ben! Can you take a picture for me and Tee in front of the Taj?"

"Uh...are you sure? I don't really know what I'm doing."

"Don't worry. It's easy. Nothing fancy. Just get us with the building behind us. Impossible to screw up."

"Oh ok." [squats slightly] "...Oooh...I think I've got a good angle..."

[click!]

"Uh...does someone else want to do this?"

More LiLo Hilarity

Tonight I went to a sad yet celebratory dinner with Brainnn and Alex (Brain got into sexuality school in SF. Alex got a job at YouTube.) They move in a month or so.

Dinner was at Celadon which is at 3rd and Fairfax.

Totally delicious japanese-fusion tapas.



Afterwards we picked up several bottles of wine and headed home to play the Lindsay Lohan I Know Who Killed Me Drinking Game, again.

Yes. The movie really is that horrifically amazing.



Once again, the rules are simple:

You drink any time a line delivery or a situation is so incredibly astoundingly ridiculous that you can't help but exchange incredulous glances.

(Keep in mind that this is a movie where a multiple personality-ed Lindsay Lohan spends 90% of the time hobbling around with amputated hand and foot stumps and just go from there.)





Brianne was hilarious, providing some choice commentary over the course of the film:

"I just need to ask...who would hang a ginger ventriloquist dummy on her wall???"

"Is that a rabid possum???"

"If he bought the baby from the crackhead down the hall...why did the mom have an ultrasound???"

"Julia Ormond SO hates herself right now."




"Who had time to graffiti the owl???"

"Wait so if that's the grave for Aubrey Fleming but she's Dakota...why are they calling her AUBREY???? Oh. That's Jennifer Tolland's grave."

"So...she just sawed through a bone...with PLASTIC??"




"Wait...so the piano teacher was pissed because she didn't want to play piano anymore so he cut off her hand and foot so she would never be able to play again. Sooo....this movie's about PIANO????"

"So the stigmata twin lives...Oh! It's like Parent Trap!!!!"

"Um....I think Ali Lohan wrote this movie."




I don't know if the commentary is as funny if you haven't seen the movie. Or are not wasted.

I think it is. Or at least it demonstrates the total and complete absurdity.

........

Also, Danny got totally wasted and we had run out of mangoes...so he ate an entire lemon.

Classy Brunch @ The Four Seasons

So after the party overlooking Ginger Spice's house, we came home and did nothing but talk and sit around and act stupid (some of us stupider than others).

Around 5am, Annie received word that Will.I.Am's Obama video (featuring Tatyana) was online and ready to go viral.

Immediately we began a giddy internet rampage where we emailed thousands of contacts and pseudo-contacts, eventually maxing out both our gmail accounts and ending up on Gmail's spam shit-list, unable to send even the simplest of emails. Oops.

7am. The rest of the apartment was sound asleep.



Obvious choice at 7am on Saturday morning?

Why, breakfast at the Four Seasons' Garden Restaurant of course!




We were the only ones in the restaurant. We were totally delirious and probably a bit still wasted, so of course it seemed only appropriate that we act as loud and douche-y as possible.



Annie started out as the epitome of class. (Notice how she even manages to rock the sweet bra-straps and Mardi Gras beads.)



But order a Bloody Mary or two...



And it devolves quickly...



Annie: "Excuse me? Hi. What is this music? Opera? Yeah....can you change it?"
Waiter: "What would you like to hear, Miss?"
DK: "Um...can we get some Rihanna up here?"



Annie's hollandaise sauce or whatever was so viscous that she couldn't get it out of its gravy boat and kept trying shake it loose.




When I noticed that it was about to spray everywhere I reached out quickly to stop her, but instead smacked her almost-full Bloody Mary clear across the table all over her and all over the floor.



They sent a little Cleaner Mexican to clean it up. We felt like such asshole douchebags and gave the man a huge tip.

But still...our guilt was not enough to curb the giddy little shitshow and our retardism continued for another good hour.




Then we remembered that this is the same hotel that used to have to deal with Britney Spears on a daily basis and eventually ended up banning her.

So...we didn't feel that bad.
