bite sized (laugh-at) stupidity

I’d love to say there are too many websites, blogs, and photo blogs documenting (more often than not) twenty-somethings drunken mistakes, but there aren’t, and I don’t know if there ever will be. Looking at these sites is a wonderful source of entertainment, and something that’s easy to peruse for 5 minutes or 5 hours.

That being said, I give you another to add to your list: Texts From Last Night. I’ve heard some people’s skepticism on whether or not they are actually real, but I’m going to just pretend I didn’t hear that and go on thinking all of them are legit drunken texts…the kind you hope no one ever sees or remembers. At least on the internet no one ever has to know who you really are

follow this adventure:

My adventure seeking brother, and 3 very close friends of mine from college have decided to embark on an incredible journey this summer. Starting May 1st these four guys will begin their coast to coast bike ride. They’ve decided to blog, vlog, photo share, and twitter * the experience so we can all watch with intense jealousy as they travel thousands of miles with their own two legs, sleeping in tents night after night exploring the deep breadth and expanse of the country.

These guys are not only riding as a challenge to themselves, but also as a means to raise money for their charity of choice KIVA.

From an email I received from one of the guys, he writes about KIVA:

“KIVA is the world’s first person-to-person micro lending website, that empowers individuals such as you and I to lend money directly to entrepreneurs throughout the developing world.  It is not that these entrepreneurs lack the know-how, resolve, or determination needed to change their lives and the lives around them; they lack the access to capital. With a repayment rate of 98%, the issuing of micro loans through KIVA is truly a sustainable means of poverty alleviation that rewards those striving to make a difference for themselves and their communities.  For more information on the KIVA Foundation and how you can contribute to our cause, click here: http://www.ridethelightning.org/support-us/.”

When I write about this I’m already consumed with the need for an impossible adventure like this, but also so excited to watch their progress. I hope you follow them and support them!

* these guys are very new to the whole social internet thing…late bloomers if you will, so cut them a little slack- -at least at the beginning!

whether or not you like weather

I think you’ll appreciate and like this…it’s a fun, beautifully creative approach to an otherwise boaring, and often hateful, subject: the weather!

You can look at the next day and change the city you’re looking at. Although the weather is from Yahoo! it’s still more bearable because it’s so pretty to look at!

kids to watch

I posted before about my friend Sergio, of Current TV’s White Hot Top Five fame, and also the Friday Night Lights Crying video- which by the way I still think is amazing. Anywhoo, Sergio and his posse of funny boys in LA have a comedy group called Cream. Their videos are juvenile, ridiculous, and just all around really fun to watch.

Keep checking their channel on FunnyorDie because their videos are worth getting distracted at work,at home, on the go, or…and I cant think of anywhere else you’d watch web based  video…you get what I’m saying.We can expect great stuff out of these guys so they are definitely worth keeping an eye on.

adding another to the cat video phenom.

I was just linked to this via a friends fb status…it’s so stupidly funny that you won’t want to stop watching these videos, and at the same time you’ll realize it’s about at a two year olds level. Don’t miss this!

Let me warn you though, when you go to this site and watch these videos, be somewhere you can laugh out loud without getting weird and awkward stares from your cube mate. Yes, it’s that amazing.

two awesomely entertaining bookmarkable sites

I’ve been checking these sites daily for a while now, but I’ve never posted about them. Neither of them need any explanation, they only need you to click on them, bookmark them, del.ico.us them, and visit them as frequently as possible to keep you smiling and laughing.

I hope they make you as happy as they make me.

i feel…london?

I’m working on a project for work that’s required me to do some research into exciting travel websites that go above and beyond the usual. This site definitely does. Ifeellondon gives suggestions about  things to do, see, eat, and drink  in such a neat and different way- but mood. I love it!

Although there are search options for NYC and Toronto, I wish they would expand the cities they use and the amount of suggestions they have, than it would definitely be my go-to site when I’m out of my own city.

sit or squat or stand

Yeah, I’m talking about peeing. Sitorsquat was introduced to me a few weeks ago, and I’ve already expressed how excited I was about it on twitter, more than once! I immediately downloaded the iphone app and added my favorite place to pee before work:)

Charmin apparently found sitorsquat and put some money into it, lightly branded it, and built an iphone app for it. This is so smart from a brands perspective. They  found a useful and entertaining tool that was relevant to the brand and just went with it. Go Charmin! More brands need to be doing stuff like this!

adult potty humor (some may think is a non sequitur)

but it’s not, and I’ll prove it! Here’s a bit of gross, potty humor for a thursday afternoon laugh brought to you by the one and only Gavin of SBTVC fame (and previously of Vice fame…but not anymore).

come out, come out you closet Friday Night Lights fans

I’m not even going to try and justify my obsession with Friday Night Lights, all I can say is it’s f’ing amazing. The more I get into it, the more my friends come out of the woodworks and admit they are obsessed with it too. Well, this post is dedicated to a perfect example of that. My friend Sergio, of the famous White Hot Top Five on Current TV, made a short film about Friday Night Lights. If you watch the show you will seriously pee your pants, and if you don’t watch the show, you will after watching this. So, without further ado I present to you Friday Night Lights Crying…
