Look to the left, look to the right! Now tell me what you see. It shouldn’t be anything work related. If it is, I apologize. I’m in bed watching the Yankees beat the Blue Jays (it’s now 8 p.m.) and I couldn’t think of a better way to spend the day.

So we launched the JK Design twitter page the other day and it’s a proud moment for me. You should check it out and follow us. Even if you don’t have a page, you should start one and then follow us.

I found out that “J. Rock” got engaged recently. Congratulations, young lady! Where are the pictures of the ring?

The other day I was on LinkedIn and I put up the following status message: Omar Joseph Is wondering if LinkedIn is becoming more and more like FaceBook and MySpace. Pictures/Updates? Really? Apparently, a lot of people agree with me and I’ve received a bunch of e-mails about it. Please wake up LinkedIn. ;)

Since Michael died, I’ve stayed away from the tribute shows and TV specials, but I watched this tribute and was especially touched.

In a nonsurprising turn of events Mad, Bernie received 150 years in jail. I figured he’d die in jail, but that’s a lot of years. I have to give it to them for handing down a stiff sentence. Thanks for sending the article, Cleo.

On Tuesday our intern Katie sent over this funny site. Look what it does to my site. How funny is that?

Speaking of funny sites, have you ever had someone ask you a stupid question that they could have just Googled themselves? Next time they do that go to this site and give them the information they want.

Twitter Break: Talking snacks with Shelly and Rosa at http://bit.ly/67viL 3:58 PM Jun 30th from Twitterrific

I found out I was demoted the other day. For you skimmers, IT’S NOT WORK RELATED. Feel free to read about it on my Twitter page.

In true Ray fashion, I received this great link from Ray the other day. That’s funny stuff.

Brandon stopped by my desk to tell me about these new sneakers he picked up. It reminded me of a classic MTV cribs moment from back when I actually watched MTV cribs. You can see it here. The moment comes at 4:40. I asked Brandon if he’d ever done that and he said no.

Wednesday was a special day. Not only was it Canada Day, it was John and Kate’s birthday (inside joke).

Hey, Ray! One of the guys at the job came in to work in a black on black excursion. And yes, it was diesel! I love the sound that truck makes.

So you’ve been reading and reading and looking for your name haven’t you? I know you have because I know you. Well here it is. As a tribute to the hardest working person I know, at least this week, here’s a great video for you, Christie. Thanks for your help this week.

Have a great holiday weekend!

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!).

Jun 25

It’s Friday and it’s like walking on the moon, or moon walking. Depending on how old you are one of those makes more sense than the other.

 

So I’ve had this intriguing, ongoing conversation with Tintu about various topics. One of which involve her trying to get me scared of thirty. That won’t be me. Thirty just means I’ll be cooler and wiser! That’s how I see it!

 

I have to thank a few more people for late birthday wishes: Chris C. (Happy Birthday to you too!) Joann V. and Paula T.  

 

I have to give it to Andrea for working her connections and getting her website in the Star Ledger on Sunday. The coverage they got was ridiculous. Here is the article for you fashion conscious people.

 

I have to thank Jeremy for reminding me that I forgot the best quote from the Mets game the other day: “All we got is steak.” They actually ran out of food and only had steak left.

 

I have to say no thank you to Shelly for her horrible attempt to educate me on Queens. That article you sent me was boring. I read it, but was highly unimpressed. You should probably start loving NJ. It’s only the best state in the union.

 

I was very excited to get a note from my friend Patty B. Ya tu saves te quiero, Patty!

 

On Saturday, Rachel and I went to a Red Bulls game at Giant ‘s Stadium. We had a good time, but the game wasn’t as exciting as I expected.

 

On Wednesday I ordered some chicken fingers for lunch and they gave me mozzarella sticks. It was weird because they gave me the BBQ sauce I wanted with the chicken fingers. Sounds weird right? But it was really good!

 

It was also Jon’s birthday! Happy Birthday!

 

Shelly and I ended up going out to dinner later that day and we had a crazy time at the Macaroni Grill! I was trying to convince LA, our waitress, to get the guy to sing to her in Italian for her birthday, but I guess Shelly did a better job of convincing her not to.

 

Thursday I heard my old boss the Apple King himself, Jay P. I’ll keep my ear open for that call my good man!

 

I also heard from the most ethical person I know, Gina S. Go to hear from ya’!

 

While I was locked in an electrical closet at Tyco I heard the news about MJ. I hopped on the internet and his death had it going nuts like I’ve never seen before. Twitter, Facebook, Myspace and the media were all going CRAZY! Very sad, very sad indeed!

 

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!). 

Jun 19

Yes! I’m back and pretty much not sick! Thanks to those of you who checked in last week to make sure I was ok! I didn’t do the blog last week, but I offended some of you Queens folks with my little e-mail.

 

I do apologize, but we went to that terrible Citi Field last week to watch the Mets lose to the Phillies. It was in the middle of Flushing and that’s just not the place I want to watch a ballgame. Thank you, all for pointing out all of the great things about Queens that I was unaware of. I’ll check them out when I go back on Nevuary 31st.

 

Since we missed a week, we’ll run this in a recap format.

 

First let’s start with the birthdays! Happy Birthday to:

 

Lynne P.

Chris P.

Sandy B. (Tyco)

 

I have to say hello to Rosa again ‘cuz she is the most consistent responder to the blog. You have to love her.

 

I almost had a great lawsuit on my hands when Jen’s dog tried to attack me. Luckily I was able to avoid that little bugger.

 

Now, I’ll  acknowledge the people who wished me a happy birthday this year. As we learned last year, the proliferation of social networks has increased my birthday visibility so I have a lot of people to thank. So here we go:

 

Siaka

Adrian: You were EXACTLY ONE WEEK EARLY and you then got it right

Cleo: You were also very EARLY!

Kia

Satirah

Asia: I have confirmed with Rachel and my mother that my mother was still in labor on the 9th. So no my birthday isn’t the 9th! As my sister you should know this.

Amber: You are my best friend, no? The line above goes for you too.

Mom: Thanks for being the first to say happy birthday after Rachel!

Rachel: Thank you for being the first!

Matt

Jamil: A day early? LOL.

iYou**ito (11:47:07 AM): Happy birthday!

Christine

Rueben S.

Pea**yan (9:25:29 AM): Happy Birthday…my bad…I know I am a little late…its Ryan C-F!`
MrOmarJ (9:25:45 AM): No it’s today!

MrOmarJ (9:25:51 AM): Thanks!

Pea**yan  (9:26:03 AM): WORD…LOL…..I just knew it was yesterday!

Pea**yan  (9:26:05 AM): LOL

MrOmarJ (9:26:15 AM): yeah a lot of people thought/think that!

Shelly: Thanks for the “shout” but the Kobe/Laker hate has to stop! I’ll convert you like I did Rachel.

Barb

Jeremy: Where’s my shake?

Cori from WCBS

Jamie

Pat

Jane and Jack: Happy Birthday to you too little man!

Samantha C.

Mitzi

Dushyanthi

Reggie

Evelyn

Zelissa

Cynthia

Mark M.

Everyone else who said it

 

And that’s that!

 

An old friend of mine had a baby boy the other day. She named him Logan. I like that name. News came via Tasha. Thanks!

 

During my birthday my ice cream cake came up. Then there was discussion about whether it was a Cookie Puss or not. I was not familiar with that, because I don’t think I was old enough to be. Are you? And it wasn’t by the way.

 

Lynne sent me over a link to what looks like my dream meal. I’m hoping Rachel will make it soon!

 

For you fools, i.e. me, who can’t be wired enough you can now make your car a wifi hub. Check it out!

 

I heard from the big cheese, Jay P., the other day! I think he is settling into his new job which is good to hear.

 

Bob, Kurt and I played expense check bingo. I love that game. It’s a variation of guess how much money is in my pocket. I think it’s self explanatory how it works.                

 

Andrea, you crack me up. I am thoroughly amused by/proud of various things about your new website. First is your e-mail about Stella:

 

“…..Stella McCartney (the real one!) is following us on twitter!!!”

I didn’t know who that was until I Googled her.

And I love this press release that my quote was featured in. That quote couldn’t have been better if I wrote it myself!

I think I found my new phone. I love this Nokia that charges itself.

Finally, I have to congratulate all of the Californians, including Tintu, for the Lakers latest Championship! Kobe Diem!

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!). 

Jun 05

To make this easier for me I going to make this the “Quote” Edition of Happy Friday. I think I’ll use a mix of Twitter and e-mails to make this happen. Enjoy!

 

First we’ll start with my girl, Andrea. She recently launched a new website that you should check out. I’ll let her explain:

“Hey Omar! We officially launched last night, make sure you add it to your blog for NEXT WEEK!!! I don’t want it to be an afterthought for this week, but want HIGH PRIORITY in the blog space for next!!! :)

 

www.myclothingcalendar.com A free online clothing journal that allows you to quickly and easily record what you wore and where you wore it! Use it, tell your friends about it!”

 

They’re on Twitter and Facebook so follow them and write on their wall.

 

Next is a hilarious wallet from Jeremy. If you like bacon, you’ll love this wallet.”

 

Cleo sent me/us a thank you:

“You helped with this…and friends of your blog too. Thanks Omar! :-)

 

You’re the best! Thanks to your support for the American Red Cross in Target’s “Bullseye Gives” Facebook challenge, we received over a quarter of the votes in the contest—and $793,942 to help change lives.”

 

Friday we found ourselves with major plumbing problems at work. There was no quote for this, but it was wildly annoying not having a bathroom! J I have to give it to the employees who stuck it out!

 

Kia asked:

“What does Laodicean mean?????”

I told her:

“Indifferent or lukewarm especially in matters of religion.”

 

We’ll go to my Twitter page for the weekend:

Just picked up my godson! Babysitting solo! 9:15 AM May 30th from Twitterrific

Say hi marcus! 9:35 AM May 30th from Twitterrific

Not watching marcus by myself afterall.12:02 PM May 30th from Twitterrific

RT @MrOmarJ Lil’ man is getting ready for bed. Apparently, he doesn’t like bed.7:46 PM May 30th

 

On Sunday Rachel and I watched 7 pounds! That was an excellent Will Smith movie.

 

Tuesday was probably the funniest day of the week. Check out my day:

At the suggestion if my nutritionist Lynne P. I’m at the Mexican place getting tacos.10:19 AM Jun 2nd from web”

“Eh. If you drive a stick you should put the e brake on when you exit the vehicle. Geez! http://bit.ly/TfYM510:20 AM Jun 2nd from web”

 “Probably not a good idea to eat Mexican when none of the bathrooms at work, work. Just a thought.10:36 AM Jun 2nd from web”

 

After that Rachel and I ended up at Yankee Stadium:

“In the second to last row in the upper deck at yankee stadium and I love it. This is a great seat!4:41 PM Jun 2nd from Twitterrific

“The guy screaming about Jesus and his sons graduation was amusing yet terrifying. An interesting combination on the train.4:43 PM Jun 2nd from Twitterrific

“Seriously no LCD in the bathroom? Wow. Very disappointed. LOL! In line for a 600 calorie cheese steak. Opps this didn’t send last night9:07 AM Jun 3rd from Twitterrific

So, I had lunch with Jennifer A. at Tyco on Wednesday and I saw one of my favorite Executive Admins, Cindy O. in the café. We had a quick hug, she praised the blog and this is what happened:

“I c my friend cindy at Tyco & she’s like how are you doing? I say fine she says so no babies? I smile & say not yet. She says LOL had 2 ask!9:10 AM Jun 3rd from Twitterrific

 

Considering the way the Yankees are playing I know he hates that I am mentioning it, but here’s Ira prediction for the season:

“My prediction: 75 – 87”

 

Mine is 94-68. What do you think of that Charlie/Jay?

 

I remembered that Karen’s son’s birthday was last week, but I forgot to e-mail her to check in. When I did she sent me back pictures from his birthday. As I read her e-mail again I realize she asked me the funniest question:

“Great to hear from you!  How are you doing?  You married yet?”

 

If any of you are looking to open a new checking account, Chase is giving away $100 with your new account. Brian sent me the heads up. Send me an e-mail and I will send the coupon over.

 

I have to give it to Adrian. He is the first person to wish me happy birthday. He was a whole, one week early, but I have to respect the thought.

 

So if you know me, you know what I was doing on Thursday night. I was sitting on my coach with in my new Kobe Diem shirt watching the Lakers do what they do. In a few days we will finally put the Shaq nonsense to bed and LeBron will be in his “throne” as the second best player in the game. Kobe Diem!

 

And that’s all folks!

 

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!). 

May 29

Good morning, folks. Welcome to Happy Friday. I have to thank Mike G. for sending me the link to that site. I love text to speech sites. Don’t you?

 

 After I sent out the blog last week, I realized that I forgot to mention two things. One: Sylvia got engaged. How crazy is that? For those of you who know her, that’s pretty cool. And two: Ally’s little boy took his first steps. I’m waiting for the YouTube video, but you get the point I’m sure.

 

Anyway, the “seriously?” award goes to Christie for telling me to follow her on Twitter and when I break down and get an account she tells me she doesn’t really like Twitter and she doesn’t use it much. Yeah, thanks! LOL.

 

For those of you who actually use Twitter, you can follow me here. I love the fact that when I signed up, I was already following people and people who I don’t know were following me. How does that work?

 

Jeremy gave me a heads up that the new Wii game/fitness hit, EA Active, just came out. You can check it out here. I’m thinking about getting it myself.

 

Kurt sent me an e-mail that said, “I have to hand it to you, posting a link to a negative article about your new Yankee Stadium, you’re a good man giving equal time to the opposition.” Apparently, the article about Yankee stadium really bashed it. I guess I should have read it first.

 

Rachel found this article about Archie comics. Apparently, after all these years, Archie is going to pick a girl in [and] get married. I might have to pick up the six part series to see who he picks.

I received an e-mail from Mitzi about a [her] new blog she created for her Emerging Media Class. I believe that the more hits she gets the better she does in the class. So go check it out! And Mitzi, add me to you blogroll!

 

[insert random thought here] As I was rereading this I see a commercial for the new Hammer Time reality show. Really? Really? I’m embarrassed for A&E.

 

I was talking to a vendor for one of my clients on Tuesday from the UK and he told me “alright Omar you’re a star! Cheers!” How funny is that? I just love different cultures.

 

Lisa sent me this link on Wednesday. It’s the craziest pool trick shot you’ve ever seen. Kurt wasn’t too impressed, but who is he, right?

 

She hooked me up again later that day by picking me up some fruity yogurt. That stuff is really good! I think we should pick some up before the weekend. How about you?

 

Poppa Ray sent over a link to some of the best man caves around. These are definitely places I’d spend a lot of time. 

 

I have to thank the very gracious Karen for bringing me and Lisa lunch yesterday. That whole-wheat pasta was tasty! Mmmmm!

 

I talked to Jane briefly on Thursday and she was a bit blue. I included this video in hopes of cheering you up. It’s nsfw, but you work from home so who cares right?

 

And just so I have proof in October, I’ll include a message from my buddy and “mailbox man” Tony. “Write this down. The Phillies will win and the Mets don’t have a shot.”

 

I’ll end this by by congratulating Kavya Shivashankar for winning the national spelling bee. She spelled “Laodicean” correctly. Good job!

 

See you next week!

 

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!). 

May 21

Wow! I’m exhausted! We had our first softball game this week and man, my cardio is weak. I need to get back to running so I don’t embarrass myself.

 

Anyway, we have a new guest! Hello, Karen K.! Welcome to the goodness.

 

So sorry, Chesha; I knew it was “too early. It’s still Thursday,” but if I didn’t send it out Thursday it just wouldn’t have gone out.

Target has a cool contenst/poll about who they should spend their charity dollars on. Our friends over at the Red Cross are one of the finalists and I think you should drop a vote for them! Here is the link.

 

Just a side note for my buddy Kurt. I know you wanted pictures this week, but I’m too sore for that this time. Remind me next time.

 

Now, Andrea was “literally laughing out loud sitting at [her] desk” about the mother lovers skit last week. I think you’ll find just as much joy from this clip. That came from my girl Kelly.

 

Since the Yankees are currently on a 9-game win streak I haven’t heard anything from Jane or Chris, but Chris did crawl out of his hole to send me an article about how crappy Yankee Standee is. Thank you, Sir.

 

I heard from my favorite Lakers fan, Tintu, on Monday before the first game of the Western Conference finals and all I could say was Kobe Diem.

 

I have to thank my super work friend Lisa for picking up Fruity Yogurt on Tuesday. Who knew fresh fruit tasted so good. MMMMMM. Delicious.

 

If you or anyone you know is looking for work, I am in complete support of the Keep America Working campaign. There is a job fair coming up in NY. Here is the information:

 

Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers
811 7th Avenue 53rd Street
New York, NY 10019

5/27/2009

 

So I said it, and I meant it. I am now on Twitter. I am following one person, Kya, and have zero followers. I think I’ll keep it that way. For you tricky Googlers, have fun trying to find me. LOL.

 

Anyway, Thursday was our first softball game. My mother came out, Rachel came and Asia, Amber, Tiffany and the birthday boy Marcus also showed up. He turned two. How cool is he? Too cool for school he is.

 

I was on yahoo before I started this and found a crazy article about the Queen of England. She now has a gold plated Wii. How cool is that?

 

That’s it folks. I’ll make a concerted effort to be a man next week and put some effort into this. I need to provide you with fun things to do/watch (kinda’ not work safe) to help you get through the work day.

 

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!). 

May 14

So, this will be short and sweet—because I simply have nothing to talk about.

 

Anyway, I received two funny e-mails from Red Sox fans that were nothing more than you would expect from those type of people . The first was from my Bloomberg buddy, Chris, who told me that Yankee Stadium had no character. I do have to apologize for our team building a palace and not a shack, like that thing you guys play in. I’m all for character, but when you’re rich you don’t live in an apartment you live in a mansion. Is that snobby? LOL.

 

The other e-mail was from my front running buddy Jane who wanted to remind me that the Red Sox were ahead of the Yankees in the standings. The interested point is that I didn’t hear from her when they weren’t and while they are ahead of the Yankees they still aren’t in first. Thanks for the update though.

 

For those of you who are familiar with the “My junk in a box” skit on SNL with Justin Timberlake, you will be happy to know that created a new one called “Mother Lovers.” Yes it is completely tasteless, but funny if you’re up for that type of thing. It also features Susan Sarandon (is that how you spell it) for those of you into her.

 

Tuesday I went and saw my Grandma. It’s been a while since I’ve been over there so that was a nice visit.

 

Kya wants me to follow up her on Twitter so I can keep updated about my godson and such. I’m not a fan of that type of nonsense, i.e. Facebook, MySpace, Flicker, but I think I’ll give it a try for her sake. Maybe I’ll post some twitter updates and add them here. We’ll see.

 

And lookie what we have here, Jerry sent me some UGC, user generated content. This YouTube clip is funny. It’s apparently the new, New Jersey State song. I like it.

 

Um, ok. This commercial jus came on. Really? Is anyone picking up that Third “Gen” Prius? I like it, but that commercial is terrible.

 

And I think it must be a new record. No one asked if I was married in a few weeks and I haven’t had any complaints about typos. This must be my lucky month! I did, however, run in to Paula T. on Thursday [and she] asked me if I had any updates. I thought she was talking about houses, but she gives me this signal. For those of you who can see me, all of you, she had her two fingers running across the palm of her hand. That would be the universal signal for children. Very funny.

 

Have a great day at work. And don’t work so hard that you’re too tired to party this weekend.

 

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!). 

May 08

Eh, let’s start of with two points: Number 1 the Yankees suck. Number 2 the Yankees are terrible and since number 1 and number 2 are pretty much the same, number the real number 2 is that this is on time, per Jen’s request. I hope that makes you happy Jen.

 

Have you been dunked on my Patrick Chewing?

 

Luckily, last week when everyone thought Kurt had the little piggy flu it turned out to be a false alarm. Thankfully we clear(ed) that up a fast as the swine flu fever actually disappeared.

 

Andrea sent over a video over of a funny wedding dance. I told her that I posted it before and she was a little bit late, but it was worth reposting.

 

I took Rachel to the new Yankee Stadium on Sunday and we, at least I, was floored by the amazing structure they call a stadium. I’ve never seen more flat screens in one place ever. That makes sense since there are 4,000 in the stadium. The best part was that we saw hundreds of people with Yankees hats and no one had my “Babe Ruth” special (so rare I can’t even find a link to it). I even had a guy ask me where I got it. I can’t wait until we go out to the new Citi stadium.

 

On Monday, I found an interesting article about an about an artist who painted an invisible car. How crazy is that one?

 

Pops sent over one of his great links as usual. I love to know what the guy does for a living and how I could convert my driveway into something like that.

 

On Tuesday I talked to Lynne and explained to her how I was bamboozled by “Rappers” and “Pop Stars.” If you listen to the radio you’ve probably heard someone talking about Nuvo. Well so have I figured I’d give it a try. I had Rachel pick up a bottle on the way home. She comes home with a pink bottle that looks like perfume and I couldn’t believe it. Lynne thought it sounded great, as a woman might, so she decided to pick up a bottle to help celebrate her husband’s birthday.

 

You know what’s in my fridge right now? Yup, a bottle of Nuvo. When I commented on the pink bottle, the guy at the liquor store assured me that T-Pain is toting a huge bottle in the Jamie Foxx “Blame It” video, so it’s not THAT girly. I feel better now.”

 

Sounds like he’s trying to sell alcohol, but I’m not buying it!

 

If you have two minutes and are looking to laugh you have to read this. I haven’t watched South Park in a while, but after reading the description of that episode I might start watching it again!

 

Rachel sent over this little tidbit for those of you looking for jobs.

 

“Did you know that New Jersey Collegiate Career Day, Career Services’ largest statewide general job and internship fair, will be held Thursday, May 28? The fair runs from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Rutgers Student Center and Brower Commons, College Avenue Campus, and is open to staff, family members, and students/graduates of any college or university. Nearly 150 employers are expected to attend. For more information including instructions for parking at the RAC and a list of employers, visit the website or call 732-932-8105.”

 

Did you hear about this story? A girl called 911 when her dad was suffering from a stroke and the operator refused to talk to her because she was cursing. Really?

 

For you dog lovers out there, meet the world’s oldest doggie.

 

I took my friends advice on Thursday and got me a BLT for lunch! That was a great idea. It was delicious. Thank you for the advice, friend.


Here is a wink and a smile to my other buddy who’s “working from home” today. I love that “move” on a Friday.

 

Good day to you, mate!

 

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!).

May 01

Hey! It’s Friday. I have the day off and I just got paid. What a joy!

I was over at Tyco last Friday and they really take that Administrative Professional Day seriously. I walked into one of their buildings and all I smelled was flowers. While I was there I saw Shelly, Jen and on my second trip back I saw Trena who asked where the motorcycle was. ;)

There was an interesting story about this girl Little Leaguer who threw a perfect game against a team of boys. She also got to throw out the first pitch at a Mets game. Now that’s a thrill.

Side Note: I hope your washing your hands. I’m going to pick up my Swine Flu prevention kit today.

Now how did I mosey on out to Philly and not say hi to my Philly friend Tasha? I don’t know, but I didn’t. :)

LOL. I’m laughing to myself about the combination of this Britney Spears video on TV and this story about a kid who got a Nintendo DS for his birthday, but the box was filled with rocks. That story was pretty messed up, but funny in a way because he’ll get a new game eventually.

I love Dilbert and so should you. They’ve been doing strips on the economy and they’ve been pretty funny. Check this one out.

Our favorite pitch man Vince had one of his latest pitches remixed to a dance beat. All I can say is “you’re gonna love my…”

Do you have a super hero in your town? There are several running around the country in tights and masks. My personal favorite is Super Hare.

I just found another Dlist special. Skip to about 10 seconds. That is too funny.

It’s been almost two hours since I started this and I have to go. Too many work/family interruptions and I have errands to run.

Have a great weekend!

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!).

Apr 23

Why so touchy? Is it because you’re busy? Or is it because had a bad day at work? Everyone seems to be on edge lately. I don’t have much to talk about, but I do have a bunch of amusing information to share. Maybe I can help you smile and get ready for the weekend.

 

First, I have to say happy birthday to Kelly who I e-mailed for her birthday, but didn’t mention here.

 

Over the weekend, Rachel and I went to Dave and Buster’s in Philly. It was her first time going. We had a blast, plus my jump shot was on so I hit a lot of shots on the indoor hoop. If you’ve never been/heard of it, it’s a great place to go.

 

One of my colleagues sent out a link to this crazy stop motion video. I didn’t watch it with sound, but the director did a great job putting it together.

 

The Sponge Bob commercial is on. I’m sorry it’s classic.

 

Tuesday was another cousin of mine’s birthday. I thought she “big timed” my text, but I ended up getting a text back from someone who said I had the wrong number. LOL. Time to update my phonebook I suppose. Ayana, do you have her number?

 

If I had a friend as dumb as me, I’d love to try to break this record. These two guys broke an unofficial record for text messaging in a month with more than 200k between them. The funny part of the story is that one of them ended up with a $27K phone bill because of a mistake with his carrier.

 

Have you seen the Cavs pregame introduction? It’s often fairly creative. They have this new commercial where they spoof that hilarious Heineken commercial. Check it out. Now that’s funny.

 

Wednesday was Administrative Professionals Day. Did you remember to thank your admin/receptionist? I tried to send out an e-card to all of my folks, but my stupid Hallmark account was messed up. If I didn’t send you an e-mail, sorry!

 

I found this link to a Shepherd Smith clip where he makes a funny mistake on Fox News. It’s kind of loud so turn your speakers down. Isn’t that funny when he realizes what he says?

 

If you’re hungry after watching all of these clips try this. That’s a Dlisted special. Thanks for reintroducing that to me, Lisa.  

 

I’ll leave you with this funny Hyundai clip.

 

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!).
