lauren: this is nice (trendy online clothing store link)
aaron: dear god, don't ever do that to me again
lauren: what!?
aaron: those are DUDES that made freaking capri pant things out of their $200 jeans. that style of pant is only acceptable if you are walking out of your beach house to your Ferrari. which means you're loaded and can look like a fool all you want cause you can pay someone to say you "look cool"
aaron: that was a little angry, sorry
lauren: no no, the only rolled up the pants to show off the shoes!! they would never wear that in PUBLIC
aaron: yup, i overreacted. surprised?
lauren: of course not

Here’s the basic premise: You come across substantial news or blog articles that you want to read, but don’t have time at the moment. You need something to read while sitting on a bus, waiting in a line, or bored in front of a computer. Instapaper...

NFL Countdown to Super Bowl XLII (7)
tis the season for big Super Bowl ad dollars. companies toss out the big ad money and pray that the commercial they have been producing for the last 11 months literally gets its monies worth. FOX is charging $2.7 million for a 30 second spot, up from CBS’ asking price of $2.3 million last year. typically the high asking price runs for certain time slots. the higher the potential viewer...

The flood of annoying Ron Paul spam stories on Digg has been replaced by 'Scientology is Bad' stories. Which is fine, there's just too many. (via livejamie) digg herd mentality comes in waves. Applegasm around CES/macworld time. Xbox 360 RROD wave and how it was the worst console ever. PS3 is the worse console ever. Blue Ray is “dead” one week. HD DVD is...

bad listening habits
i have a terrible habit of what i would call “crushing” on music. it may come in the form of an entire CD or just a song. unfortunately what comes of this, the day it snaps, i have a hard time listening to it ever again. in recent memory albums/songs i have self-destroyed for future listening: Metallica - S&M release with San Francisco Symphony Hot Hot Heat - Elevator Incubus -...

sad reality
i browse the Yahoo! Answers section from time to time merely for entertainment purposes, and today i ran across a posted question making me realize the level of ignorance still existing in the country. question was posted a few minutes ago: If Obama gets in, will it be all “black power”ish and us whites?
