On a lazy Sunday afternoon, I was in hangin’ with my friend Steve in the city. And what better way to enjoy the beautiful weather than to look for workout supplements at a random Rite Aid on Market Street?!
Anyways, as I walked in, I immediately saw this girl standing in front of an aisle endcap [...]

If you haven’t seen this commercial, than you obviously haven’t been watching the Olympics…they have been playing it NON STOP throughout the telecast…
Really? Is that Shannon Miller from the illustrious Magnificent Seven from the 1996 Atlanta Olympics?
Here she is IN ACTION back in the day:
I remember watching her in 1996 thinking that she had to [...]

The other night after eating a garlic noodle/salt and pepper-infused dinner at PPQ, I was surrounded by my friends fiddling with their iPhones, Blackberries and all of that other techie cell phone jazz. I, on the other hand, was looking at my Nokia. It’s plain. It doesn’t have a camera and it dates back to [...]
Okay, so I have a huge zit on my chin - LUCKILY I have just enough facial hair to cover it up. I am really tempted to shave it just to see how disgusting my zit looks underneath it all, but I won’t.
It feels so gross. I keep on touching it. I know, I know, [...]
I’ve been smoking a lot more than normal as of late…and when I say smoking I mean tobacco.
I’ve been contemplating on kicking the habit. I mean, I stopped eating meat. I stopped drinking alcohol. I have a rigorous gym schedule that I adhere to no matter what, yet I can’t stop this one habit. [...]
Yay! Today is the one month anniversary of my official lay-off date from Bay Area News Group East Bay! It was month ago today that I got the ax from the newspaper company! AND! As an added bonus, this is the 201st post on the finer dandy! AND…today was the first day that I really [...]
I just got back from a yoga class with my sister and the instructor told me I have tight hips.
I didn’t know how to take that as she caressed my hips and then my back. I think she wanted a reason to touch me. Because I definitely wanted her to touch me…WHOO! YEAH! IT WAS [...]

Last night, I had a really profound conversation with my friend Marques about politics (via AIM). This is how it went down:

Marques: Wait, I heard about them making this
Me: YES
Me: it comes out this fall
Me: with thandie newton playing cunnilingus rice
Me: too soon
Marques: I will sleep [...]

For nearly a year, I can never leave the gym without hearing this ultimate cool down song…
I think I have some mild case of OCD because I will stand at the exit door of the gym searching through my iPod shuffle for this song because I cannot leave without hearing it.
It makes me feel [...]

…and my allergies are acting up like a bitch!
Nonetheless, the weather in the Tri-Valley area as of 12:45 p.m. July 28, 2008 is tickling my fancy even though my allergies are all amok. At a temperate 73 degrees, the cool breeze is slicing through the blue skies as trees sway back and forth like they [...]
