Professional Blogging

DID YOU KNOW: self-employed (full-time) bloggers "take in between $2,000 and $10,000 a month from ad sales."

How come my guidance counselor never informed me of this when I was picking my career path back in High School?

BeerGoogle

So I thought I was being creative last night and had this great idea to start a website called Beergoogle.com for Blogers to start a community for random drinking stories about bad dates...a pun on the phrase Beer Goggles hindering you from making good decisions or avoiding wacky situations ending in bad dates. It would be a forum to tell stories, post randomness, and search places in your area to have good and bad first dates (where the googling comes in.....)

To my surprise someone already bought the site but is not using it .... That Bastard!

To an even larger surprise I happened to type the key words Beer Google into Google and found that is an actual term coined in the urban dictionary, who knew!

beer-google (verb) :
To search the Google directory for somebody one just met, especially while under the influence of alcohol. Related to Beer-goggle
Ex: I was so taken by that actress I met in the bar that I beer-googled her as soon as I got home. I think might have accidentally posted a love note on her family blog before passing out.

Turning the corner

I was in the coffee shop the other day and there were a bunch of obnoxious people having mimosas and being stupid drunks....when I heard the guy next to me mumble "it looks like they are turning the corner". At first I wasn't sure what he said but they he proceeded to explain it to the girl next to him who must have looked just as confused. Turning the corner as in they are just carrying on the stupid behavior and drunkenness from the night before.....

I like that phrase and I think I am going to try to incorporate it into my every day vocabulary now.

Cable Car Propositions

So a while back my old boss told me that she read an article in the paper on the most desirable men amongst the mass transportation drivers are the cable car drivers. It proceeded to explain how they get all the ladies in San Francisco....I was like is this for real?!?

I have googled any possible combinations of words to find this article and nothing yet....but I think I lived it a few times (once a while back I was asked to on a dinner date by and old man driving the cable car on my way home from work) but yesterday I think I got the all time proposition made....

I was wearing flip flops and he told me my feet looked so cute and could he eat them up......um sure no problem ... there's nothing strange about that.

As the saying goes....

What comes around goes around!

So being the instigator that I am I had decorated one of my coworkers offices extensively when he was away on vacation photoshop'in all kinds of photos of him etc.

Upon my return to work today they go be back....and they did a fabulous job I must add.

In the spirit of my vacation being gone in Egypt they covered my entire office from floor to ceiling (including covering my entire desk, book shelves, bulletin board etc) in hieroglyphics and one giant Cartouce with a secret message to me on it.  The picture doesn't justify or give enough credit it as it's hard to see but basically all the white is very detailed papers with millions of hieroglyphic characters on it.....

Take a look. I must give them a round of applause for a job well done!

National Man Up Day

Ok I just got off the phone with my East Coast Sista and we have decided it is National Man Up Day.

Catch 22 of the Day

Ok so coming off of vacation and doing what I love most, traveling, I am having withdrawals and tempted to find a nice rich man to marry so I can just travel the world and quit working. 

Sounds coushy right!?!

Here's the Catch of the Day: 

Marry rich and I would be bored (not to mention these days it typically takes 2 incomes to raise a family and survive the world...let alone the damn gas prices)

But if you become a career women and hard worker men are scared to date you and intimated by the fact that you could be a strong independent business savvy woman with an idea or thought in your head. 

So what shall it be tonight: Bass or the Bluefin Tuna
