Violence, mall closings, mace, police injuries over the new Jordan shoes? Has it really come to this…today’s youth needs new Jordan shoes so badly that they resort to violence? Really? I’m appalled. This stems from the materialistic BS mindset I hate about the US.

A first-ever malaria vaccine tested in children in sub-Saharan Africa cut the risk of infection with malaria by about half, researchers announced in a teleconference on Tuesday.

This is VERY cool.

The event? The Fresno County Fair, and seeing my friend’s wife’s family. Anyway, we brainstormed a few idea for sweet tshirts and wooden engravings on the car after we saw a t-shirt at the fair titled “This is my drinking shirt. I wear it everyday”. Here are a few of our ideas:

T-shirts:

  • Drink. Sit. Drink Some More.
  • Old English Monday = Heaven
  • The 20′s = Drunken Wasteland
  • The Perfect Cocktail? Vodka + Vodka = Blackout

Engravings (for a door):

  • Drinking is kinda my thing
  • Beer makes this house a home
  • Got booze? If no, leave now

What tshirt or engraving slogans would you like to own?

For the developers and designers out there tired of using traditional Lorem Ipsum dummy text, take a peak at SAMUEL L. IPSUM.

I think you’ll agree it’s a nice break from standard latin…

  • 35 MPG
  • 5 speed manual transmission

She posted it on Facebook, and I took the liberty to repost it here.

I seriously need to get to Charlotte (well, Waxhaw actually), bale me some hay, and visit Lori.

For realz.

Not sure why it would matter, but full disclosure that Lori is a client of Virtual Results

Why? Been busy working — and on the road. Went to Vegas for the Century 21 convention to help staff the Social Media Pitstop for YouReach Media. If you didn’t hear the news, Century 21 signed YouReach Media to be the social media training provider for all of c21. For those with an Inman account, here’s their  story. After Vegas, instead of flying back to Seattle, I flew to Orange County to hang out for a week and see the sun. It wasn’t all sun and fun like you’d think – I actually ended up working for most of my time here. However, I did have the chance to get out of the OC & drive down to San Diego for 2 days to spend a little bit of time with a few Virtual Results clients (Kris Berg, Curt Bergeron, and Durrell Thomas) and hang with Jessica at YouReach. I got to spend time with Chris Smith, Brad Andersohn, and Darin Persinger at Agent Reboot. I spent time with a bunch of other amazing people as well, but too many to name and I know I’d forget someone even if I tried to name everyone.

I genuinely hope I can get a few more blog posts up here once I get back to Seattle. I’ll at least promise to look at the blog once a day…

Anyway, it’s been a great week away. But I need some air. Maybe by the time I land in Seattle at 11:55 pm tomorrow night I’ll be fresh again. Or not.

If anyone else is looking for the answer, it’s channel 49.

Back to March Madness 2011 now.

I mean, seriously. What’s not the love? Chickens are the subject of today’s (my first ever) FUN FACT of the day:

100 years ago, everyone had chickens – Rep. Guernsey of Missouri

I have no context on this quote or what made Rep Guernsey say it since it came from a Tweet from none other than Becky Berg (daughter of Kris Berg). But I thought it was a fun fact nonetheless. And it kinda makes me want chickens running around my backyard — at least right up until the time I’d have to go slaughter them with my own two hands to eat.
