Adults with Braces
Adults with Braces are one of the many things that crack me up consistently. They are just so shameless about, grinning big and eating things that middle-schoolers/high-schoolers have steered clear from, like corn, carrots and beets.
I guess Colombia just got braces technology cos when I go back, every 30-something has a fucking pair. And they’re speaking to me in this lispy spanish and...

So I Went to a GWAR show last night...
I’d been toying with the idea of going to a gwar show for several months now, intrigued but frightened. I just assumed I would probably die at one of their shows show from either getting sacrificed to the gods of mosh or guzzling so much fake blood that my body would get confused and start circulating the dyed corn starch. However, after hours of research on gwar concerts, i evaluated that...
Valentine's Day
I actually don’t mind Valentine’s Day coz usually my mom makes me heart-shaped pancakes with strawberries and my dad gives me chocolate and a stuffed bear and tells me how pretty and perfect I am. But because both my parents dont live in this country anymore, I just had a protein shake for breakfast and went to work sans chocolate and sans stuffed animal. i didnt even add...
Why your Old AOL screen-names are really important
the next guy i meet, im just gonna ask what his screen-names were in middle school/early high-school, because we all know that by junior year, we changed our screen-names to seem more “professional” cool, which is why we all have lame gmail addresses now. But if you look back at those screen-names you can draw a lot of information from them.
For example, here is a short history of my...

Let me explain the ticker on my blog...
People have been asking what that number is on my blog. It’s a ticker that shows how many people have clicked my blog. 3000 and whatever may seem like a large number but I should tell you all that I actually click my blog about 100 times a day….So the majority of that number is just me refreshing…
I think my friend Max checks my blog a lot too?
You are not who you think you are
**DISCLAIMER** this is not meant to offend anyone. i have many friends/lovers/family members who are tauruses. you guys are good people! i’m just not one of you…
On days where I am feeling moderately self-reflective, perhaps I had a fight with a friend or a family member, I often justify my behavior by blaming it on my zodiac sign. I am a Gemini, so I’m stubborn, moody and...

The Day We Roller Disco'd and I Reallyyy Got Into...
Mia is a roller-blading diva. She’ll roll into parties - literally, with her blades on, then whip them off so that she can freely dance. She sometimes leaves them on. So it was only a natural progression that on her and Emily’s 24th B-Day Party, we would venture to Staten Island on a magic school bus to skance (skate dance) at the only standing roller rink in NYC.
Preparation took...
My Night Consisting of the Best Dinner Ever and a...
Now, I am no restaurant reviewer. I’m hardly qualified. I like all sorts of restaurants running the gamut from a pulled pork sandwich in an upstate NY off-the-highway spot with vintage signs, to a pre-fixe menu at the 4 seasons hotel. Both evoke the same pleasure of happiness when it starts, sweating throughout, and sadness when its over. Then anger that I have to pay for such a short-lived...
America Rulez
Amidst all the shit being talked about the US of A (a prez who let us down, a govt run by rich a-holes; the same ones who put us in this recession, a fat imperalistic country who muddles in everyone’s shit, and now with the whole wiki-leaks fiasco, we’re just losing friends left and right - pun intended), i am still proud to be american.
i mean, what other country started multiple...

Talkin bout my generation
If any of you have read the NY Times article titled “What is it about 20 somethings” then you found comfort in it, noting that you are not alone in your postponement of career and adulthood. In fact, its a national pandemic that crosses racial boundaries, socio-economic boundaries and gender boundaries. I can speak for myself, that my year-and-some of working at this PR firm has...
My Friends are Muses
One of my all-time favorite artists is Alejandro Ospina, a London-based Colombian artist, who happens to be a friend of my family’s. So you know he rulez.
He has a show tomorrow at the Witzenhausen Gallery, based in Amsterdam but with a NY Location, so you know it rulez.
Alejandro’s recent paintings explores the inter-connectedness of us all via our favorite social media...
I got yelled at today...
By a client. I basically fudged up on a press release; made some (what I thought were minor) changes to a release and a separate party called me up yelling that I did not listen to his changes.
In two words, It…sucked…
It made me feel terrible, like I was stupid. And to boot, the guy was just so mean, sent me a really nasty email about how I fucked up this relationship etc etc. I...
Duke does it again
Wow, Duke, you really know how to make the front page of gawker, dont you? Check out the article here
What your Weed Smoking Choices Say About You
Gawker printed this article, because of Cali’s Prop 19 passing.
But I decided to make my own little version of this article.
Joint
You’ve been smoking weed for a while and are confident with your joint rolling skills. You smoke every day, just to get your “head right” and you are a generous weed smoker. You share with friends and think weed smoking is the most...
My Smashin Pumpkin Hollerween
Halloween is such a production - especially in NYC where you have to pay to breathe on this day. We had big plans on Saturday night - pregame at our friends then go to the Eldridge for a friends’ party and then go to Brooklyn for a crazy 7-warehouse rave, infamous for the artists who come in elaborate costumes and perform circus tricks. It was 70000 ft sq ft of party space and was...

BAMF
I went skydiving on Saturday on a whim out in Long Island, NY. If you follow me on twitter, I guess you would have seen that. I think I tweeted 5 times about the whole thing. Anyways, feeling pretty Bamf about the whole thing. It’s definetely the most badass thing I’ve ever done and I think i get cool cred for at least the next 8 years
Oh yeah…then after I tweeted about it,...
Site-Specific Installation Project
Nick and I were bored at Sam’s house, so we basically opened all the umbrellas in his apartment.
New York's Best Dater
I am definitely NY’s best dater. As in I take people on the best dates. Creative, delicious and entertaining. I’m not really talking about people I am romantically interested in either. I’m more talking about taking Sally on dates.
Soooo I took Sally on a great date last week. For dinner we went to the new taco spot, Tacombi, on Elizabeth and Houston. We walked through this big...
My Brief Return to my College Years
It wasn’t my college I returned to. It was Skidmore College @ Saratoga Springs, where my brother, a senior, attends. So my mother and I did the 4 hour drive, through the fall foliage to college.
Clear skies and colorful trees
I was pretty nervous, particularly because I was staying the night in Seb’s room. What would his friends think of me? Would they think I was creepy for going...
Valpo Surf Project - the sexiest NGO
What is sexier than smart liberal arts boys with a passion for surf, south america and helping kids? Yup, that would be www.valposurfproject.com, an NGO started by 3 Bates alums and a Chilean native, to get at-risk kids off the streets and into the ocean to develop character, learn english, and understand environmental consciousness, all through the lens of surfing.
This past weekend, Valpo had...
The Creatives
NYC is a cesspool of creation. And cesspool is the right metaphor because some of these “creators/creatures” are just plain dirty, and their art lacks focus, ingenuity and is the color brown cos they kept adding paint - and we all know what happens when you try to make a rainbow; it shits on you. A lot of these kids who are making art and show-casing at galleries run and owned by...
Young Bill Clinton
I bet this post is just going to get a shit load of hits because of the title.
I’m a big Clinton fan but when thinking about it, it really is amazing that after all the shit he pulled with Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky, he still came out of it looking like a God. Hillary too. But whatever, truth is he rules.
When being in a marching band used to be cool.
He looks like my red-headed...
Welcome to Fall, my friends
Oh man, I romanticize about this season so much when I am not in it. Fall rules. The best things are in season in the fall from fashion to food. Like capes, and boots, and pumpkins and gourds.
I romanticize about going to a pumpkin patch in upstate NY with a bunch of my well-dressed and good-looking friends. Just imagine it: we’re walking around, laughing, taking photos - the other...

Uncovering American Sex Practices
Gawker just did a write up on the largest national sex study, conducted by Indiana University, which is a slutty school so I am sure they had tons of experiment subjects.
Click here for the article
Anyways, I decided, as an expert in life, I would take the initiative and deconstruct the table below, to show you exactly what it means.
So as you can see the highest percentage of males...

Twins: 2 for 1, but do you really want either?
These are the twins that are sueing Mark Zuckerberg. This picture was taken at the Social Networking premiere after-party. Why the fuck were they at the party if they are sueing the man who the movie is based around? Also, why would you want these creepy lookalikes at your party anyways? Adult twins should not be allowed to interact.
Also, there is a reason why twins are featured in so many...
