086 Car!

Man, I love cars! And I don’t just love watching them, either: I’m all for rolling up my sleeves and playing the mechanic, if needed be. Especially since most mechanics are rip-offs! Also, because ever since my early drivin’ days I picked up an awesome little trick that makes it worthwhile to really get into [...]

Not unlike most guys I enjoy playing sports, and when it comes to playing rough… well that’s just part of the game sometimes. This may sound like a harsh thing to say, but to the best of my defense I should argue that First Aid Kits are an absolute imperative when the time comes to [...]

Oh man, talk about summer craze. Today I was walking around in my garden and the weather is warm enough that I felt the urge to take my shirt off. And even though I was totally comfortable about the weather, I’ll tell you something I’m absolutely not comfortable about: Those additional layers of fat hanging [...]

With Memorial Day just around the corner, I couldn’t think of a better way to honor the people who lost their lives in the defense of our country, that to… well, enjoy our country! We all know how the old US of America is the best country in the world, but oftentimes we forget to [...]

College and crazy are like Siamese twins, always going hand in hand. I remember this one time where I went in a road trip with some college buddies (right in the middle of the semester, of course!) and we somehow ended up in Texas. To be more exact, in Scottsdale; I clearly remember that since [...]

I’m not a big fan of clocks or time-tracking devices of any kind. Well, at least not for practical purposes. You see, as a free-lancer I very much enjoy the thought of being free from time-based constraints of any kind. That’s just my thing, but that’s not the point I’m headed towards, in this little [...]

I don’t know about you, but myself? When I was a kid, I was totally into sports collectibles, although eventually I suppose I grew out of it. Until recently, that is! Sometimes I get major kicks out of walking down nostalgia lane, so this time around I decided to shell out some fifty bucks to [...]

This is it, folks! I’ve finally made up my mind and there’s no turning back. I just got my own wow game card code; for the jargon-challenged among you, that’s pretty much a 60-day pass into World of Warcraft, a gaming universe which is adored by some and despised by others. Just like most things [...]

Who’d have thought? It just goes to show that to every coin, there are always two sides – even when we fail realizing just how. You see, I’ve always been fond of watching birds, as opposed to shooting them down. And here was I thinking I was doing something for the environment by nurturing this [...]

I know there are many people who say this for the sake of looking good, but I for one, really mean it. Body weight? Irrelevant? Fat girl, skinny girl? All the same. The thing that makes all the difference (at least from where I stand)? Confidence. When I find myself looking at a pretty woman [...]

Oh, boy. Yesterday my uncle came for a visit, and even though I really like hangin’ out with him, sometimes it can get annoying. You see, that’s because he used to be a truck driver for most of his adult life; and even though he’s now retired, trucks are still his favorite topic of discussion. [...]

One of the keys – I think – to lead a happy and fulfilled life is concerned with self-development. And I don’t mean to suggest that people should spend their lives trying to attain an elusive ideal of perfection. In my opinion there is no perfection, and in a strange way that is quite perfect. [...]

Ah… summer time is right here and now, and as such the time as come to enjoy a wonderful time outdoors. And when it comes to outdoors summer fun, you’ll of course need a wonderful girl in your arm, right? Well, to make sure that girl is reasonably happy, you should keep from being a [...]

I’ve been getting the urge to go out in the wilderness for a couple of days, pretty much like the happy camper that I am. So, I was going around looking for some trekking gear, and I came across these awesome
Wolverine Boots. Do you know why they call them so? Well, not because they have [...]

It happened again. The other day, one of my friends got into trouble – more trouble than he could handle, and he almost ended up going to jail. Basically this dude had been hanging around with all the wrong crowds, and he found himself in quite an ugly mess… which would be really sad, since [...]

Yesterday I went for some drinks with some buddies in a local bar, and as usual the level of the arguments was raised in proportion to our inebration. We were talking about cars and lifestyle, and one of the guys kept insisting that signing up for auto insurance was a major rip-off, because he was [...]

As far as awesome goes, New York is probably one of the most fascinating cities to live in – provided you’re into the whole ultra-metropolis thing. Well, but unless you want your vagabond shoes (upon which you’re living today) to literally become the shoes of a vagabond (i.e.) it’s best to be prepared before chewing [...]

Do you know what’s the only thing I like better than getting my favorite brands of clothing, when the time comes to renew my wardrobe? It’s getting my favorite brands WITH awesome discounts, courtesy of my own internet-savvyiness and all around ingenuity. If you dare to doubt, dear reader just go ahead and freely inspect [...]
