Just attended a friend’s week-long wedding Puerto Vallarta and must say this was an excellent time. It is always a great time when these things happen:

1. We push the groom into the pool on his wedding day.
2. Someone acts out Nacho Libre with a Risky Business dance on the balcony during the reception
3. Everyone else at the reception ends up in the pool at a certain point in the reception.
4. A dude in the wedding spends 36 hours in a Mexican jail.
5. Workmonkey gets Montezuma’s Revenge and does not speak or drink cervezas for an entire day.

I took a ton of pictures that I will be doing some post-production work on, so stay tuned for some of the better ones.

Here you go, to all you cat lovers:

I can just hear those “awwwww” sounds bouncing off the monitors everywhere. What is it about animals and children that incites this weird emotion? All of a sudden, this weird baby talk comes out. People start cooing and cawing when they see that animal. I’m not exaggerating, either. Every time Workmonkey saw a dog in San Francisco, he would literally get on his back like he was the dog himself and start talking gibberish. I had to beat that embarrassing behavior out of him. It’s called tough love.

I will admit I find cats hissing to be quite amusing, or when they do that disgruntled miao. Cats are cute for about 10 minutes until they try to eat your hand. They keep going until you throw them across the room. What is up with your own pet trying to eat your limbs?

Regardless, I do like cats. If you have a good recipe, let me know.

I was cleaning out my magazine rack and chronicled all the magazines I get. I ordered most of these because my airline rewards allows you to get magazines for your expiring miles so the price is right. It does mean you get a lot of magazines, though. (My soft air BB gun is in the picture to fill up that empty space and also in case any of you try to come rob me for my Us Weekly magazine.)

All my magz and my glock, biatch.

Here they all are in order of quality:
1. Us Weekly – BTW, Paris’s BFF Lindsay Lohan (Britney’s ex BFF) was just “disgusted” by a pickup attempt by K-Fed…or as they call him now: “Fed-Ex”. This is it, folks, quality.
2. Business Week – Business news that matters. No stories on menopause and cancer survivor stories.
3. Forbes – Forbunes is good although it’s all sorta the same stuff you get in Businessweek so a bunch of repetition here. What I do get are the world’s richest people list once a year so I can look at my paycheck and say “F Bill”.
4. Fortune – See #3
5. Wired – This magazine has gone downhills over the years but still has some interesting one-pager stories for when you have to choose between reading your moisturizing lotion’s ingredient list, a story about menopause, or a one-pager about nano-tech.
6. Newsweek – I love this magazine because it puts Menopause: Everything you need to know on its cover. I can’t wait for next week’s “Mothers from Inner Cities of 2007″.
7. GQ – Some interesting reads if you’re metro. The hunk on the cover usually throws me off and the fact that it’s 800 pages usually deters me from wanting to pick it up. That said, writing is usually quality and you can tear out the 109 cologne insert pages and put it in your socks and underwear drawers so that your feet and balls will smell GQ the next day.
8. Maxim – Maxim has seen its day. You can only read so many “How to build a ice cave”, “How to survive a 100 foot drop from a cliff”, and “Best sex of your life” articles. It has some entertainment value but mostly it’s trash. There’s not even that many scantily clothed hot chicks in there anymore.
9. Stuff - This is a poor man’s Maxim and is doomed for failure in 2007 like FHM. The girls that are on the cover these days I have never even heard of.
10. Lucky - Uh. I have never opened this magazine. I don’t think it’s about getting lucky, it’s about shopping. A magazine about shopping? WTF?
11. Modern Bride – Some magazine full of MILFs or soon-to-be MILFs, I think.

Ok..a new year and a new set of resolutions…here goes:

1. Lose 578 lbs.
2. Gain 2985 lbs of muscle.
3. Eat only foods that are organic, free-range, non-carbonated, non-fat, low-carb, low-calorie, high-fiber, mineral/vitamin fortified, non-MSG-containing, Omega-3,5,7.
4. Waste less time watching TV (although I did find a few new shows that are rad)
5. Bring back the 80s with words like “rad’, “ill”, and “def”
6. Pimp out my MySpace page
7. Continue 2 refine my IM/TM vocab 2 d least # of keystrokes possible 2 convey my messages. Ur rad.
8. Write 10 screenplays.
9. Learn how to write a screenplay.
10. Develop 10 business plans
11. Learn how to write a business plan.
12. Sell all this crap in my living room on eBay.
13. Go to bed earlier / go to work earlier….oops…ok, this will start tomorrow.

That should do….for now….

Happy 2007. As part of the new year, I have decided to update my blog with a new look. I have also updated the system to allow for moblogging (posting blogs/pics with my phone). This should make my blog a bit more fun and updated more frequently.

My old blog is here. I am undecided on whether I want to convert my old entries into the new system…stay tuned.
