Shelfari: Book reviews on your book blog. Friday, August 28, 2009. Fix it Friday Beauty. I was speechless when I saw the fix it friday at I ♥. This little girl is so beautiful and the photo is so gorgeous, that I can definitely understand this week's title, Beauty! The image was submitted by Jaclyn from The Polhamus Family. It was a pleasure to play with your image Jaclyn! I got creative with photoshop CS3 and actually made an illustration of this beauty, I even added some wings! A tale by Mariana. Wants...

Thursday, March 10, 2011. How to Start a Company (I Hope). Update: While WikiDates.com. Is being developed, I've started a placeholder blog on the domain to more fully explain the idea, update people on the project, and discuss some ins-and-outs of dating. If you want a better sense of what the site will be about, check out this blog entry. Let me tell you the story of WikiDates. It’s a fairly short story thus far, and it does not yet have an ending. Why would you tell us a story that has no ending?

Friday, May 7, 2010. Maybe Put a Little More Thought into Your Billboards . Over the past few years I've seen some pointless billboards lining the Las Vegas highways. But these billboards aren't conventionally pointless, they take a bit of thought to realize that they're pointless, which I guess is the fun for me. Here's an example:. During Your Next Heart Attack, Think Southern Hills. But the gist of it was, "Fast heart surgery! Come to Southern Hills! Thanks, Mr. Billboard! I also don't really see hear...

Thursday, March 25, 2010. Why We'd Be Better Off Without Women, in Iambic Pentameter. I'm not one to beat around the bush, so I'll answer the titular assertion immediately: I was being disingenuous as a means to con people into clicking through to read this blog entry. Women are actually pretty fucking great. But don't worry misogynists, if you keep reading I may throw you a bone toward the end. But I'll at least give you your promised iambic pentameter (sticking to the women-are-great theme):. So, for t...

Sunday, January 31, 2010. My Rap Song - I'll Die When I'm Famous. Update: The MP3 shared with Google Docs stripped the .mp3 extension for some reason. If you downloaded that, simply rename the file with .mp3 and it should work. But I've uploaded it on a new site just to make sure. Re-download it here. And it should be functional. It was a rap song titled "I'll Die When I'm Famous.". I'll Die When I'm Famous (MP3). I'll Die When I'm Famous (Lyrics, JPG so all can read them with notes). Sorry For Being Cre...

Monday, December 28, 2009. Fuck Me and My Terrorist Toothpaste. So, some Nigerian Muslim guy just tried (and failed) to blow up a plane a few days ago, as most of the TV-viewing public already knows. Our response was to put into place a few more knee-jerk reactions that will do absolutely nothing (or as close to nothing as you can get) to prevent future attacks. What the reactions will. Do is give officials and politicians an answer to the question, “What are you doing to prevent future attacks? Well, ac...

Friday, April 9, 2010. What Exactly is a Daffodil Penis? OK, so those of you who are fans of Ragaboo.com on Facebook. Probably saw that my top-ranking referral keyword term on Google in March was fairly surprising - although, I guess not that surprising considering some of the content on this blog. Without further ado, my No. 1 referring Google keyword from last month was . daffodils penis. No, I don't know, either. Maybe something like this? Or, rather, why did I get FIVE. To answer that question, I cam...

Sunday, April 10, 2011. 30 Favorite Songs of All Time. Doing the "Julio Challenge," (Mandy's nomenclature, not mine). Per Mandy's suggestion, I restricted myself to one song per artist/band. This is my 30 all-time favorite songs. (As accurate as possible given space constraints and per-artist limitations, as well as the urge to have a more varied sampling). In alphabetical order by band name:. The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby. Coheed and Cambria - Welcome Home. Dave Matthews Band - Crash Into Me. I'll admit t...

Sunday, November 29, 2009. Yes, No, or Maybe? I've always loved the idea of the "Do you like me? Yes/No/Maybe" note. Making the note's usage acceptable for sane adults has been one of the most prominent, passionate goals in my life, right in front of saving diabetic puppies from puppy hating neo-Nazis. I used to pass these kinds of notes all of the time in kindergarten and first grade when I was attending an international school in Bahrain. Why had it passed? All through high school and college I longed ...

Wednesday, February 17, 2010. Music - How Not to Suck, Part 1. There are plenty of ways not to suck as a musician, so I figured I'd preemptively make this a multi-part post, even though I have no immediate plans for additional parts. In the very least, "Part 1" indicates that what I'm writing here isn't an exhaustive list. So, let's start with the easiest rules to follow so as not to suck:. Rule No. 1: Don't make rap music. Rule No. 2: Don't make country music. Special Exception: You're allowed to be Sha...
