Love this!

We cant go on together...

I heart Springtime

I used to live in Battery Park and in the warmer months, I think it’s the most tranquil and beautiful neighborhood of Manhattan. I was once told that when you take personal pictures without people in them, they are only looked at once. However, I can’t help but to take pictures just like that everytime I find myself strolling the BP hood. Here are some I captured last weekend…and I know that you will only care to look at them once!

I came home on Wednesday to find a Fed Ex package with my name on it. It was from a ‘Phil Biacct’ in PA…no clue who that is. I wasn’t expecting a package and of course, I was cautious in opening it. Anthrax? An early April Fools stunt? After slowly opening the box and peering in to spot the contents, I was shocked to find a brand new digital camera! Who in the hell was this from?! Well, in the bottom of the box was a small note on Bloomingdale’s letterhead that read, “Congratulations on winning Bloomingdale’s Smile Photo Contest! Enclosed you will find one (1) FUJI FILM Z270 Digital Camera. Enjoy!”

Holy cannoli! What a FABULOUS surprise. About a month ago, I was online and saw an advertisement to win a camera by submitting a photo of myself smiling with someone or something that made me happy. So I did…and won! Precious Zoey who is back in Missouri gets 60% of the credit though because she’s in it!

VERY INSPIRING...THANKS BRO FOR SHARING :)

A list for the right love...according to "them"

Dating Trait #1: He listens to you

The best way to know if Mr. Next is interested in (and worthyof) being a candidate for Mr. Right? He listens to you. You'll know he's listening when he shows genuine concern, consistently remembers things you've told him (your birthday, favorite food, best friend's name, etc.), and offers emotional support in honest and thoughtful ways.

Dating Trait #2: He connects with you easily

We've all been in those relationships that take W-O-R-K (and suck the life force out of us in the process). When a relationship works on its own, it feels effortless, easy, and fluid. You don't have to force anything, forgive anyone, or turn a blind eye to red flags or gut-twisters. Instead, you communicate and collaborate with comfort, compatibility, and undeniable chemistry. If and when you experience this kind of interaction, you are on to something really special.

Dating Trait #3: He wants the real you

So often, women feel the need to sacrifice some part of themselves to make a relationship work. In the right relationship, there's no need. You don't have to hide, tone down, or apologize for any aspect of you or your fabulous life. With the right partner, you're not only able to be yourself, but you're better able to be the best version of your most authentic self -- no compromises needed.

Dating Trait #4: He's trustworthy

A relationship without trust is doomed from the start. But a relationship with abundant trust? A fabulous foundation for real and lasting love! Built over time, trust is based on the simple belief system that your partner has your best interests at heart and will never intentionally hurt you (and vice versa). If and when you discover that Mr. Next is 100 percent trustworthy, you'll have no trouble giving your heart to him. In return, he'll most likely give you his heart and pave the way for a lasting, loving relationship to unfold.

Dating Trait #5: He enriches your life

In the wrong relationship, your partner tears you to emotional shreds, brings you down, and in general drains your energy. In the right relationship, he enriches your life, inspires you to be your best self, and brings a sense of peace and possibility to you. You'll know Mr. Next is enriching your life if and when he encourages and supports you professionally, personally, and spiritually. And when he does, he may just be Mr. Right!

Does your Mr. Next possess all five qualities? If so, congratulations! You have done your homework, chosen wisely, and are now well positioned for relationship success.

If not, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back into the dating pool with a clearer understanding of who you want to date. Remember, finding your life partner isn't always easy, but by being clear, honoring yourself, and acting accordingly, you'll cut down on wasted time with Mr. Wrong and Mr. Next, and ultimately make room for Mr. Right.

Yes sir, we have goat cheese, feta, and human cheese

Listen, I'm a cheese fanatic and I would be inclined to try a variety of exotic or bizarre cheeses available. BUT, I will draw the line at cheese made from human breast milk. No, Chef Daniel Angerer,  I will not eat your wife's breast milk cheese! It will never happen.

I wonder which wine they will suggest to compliment this one.

Gotta love it...

Where do you think is the best place to live?

France? As an American, I'm supposed to be opposed to this. But it's definitely interesting. I watched Julia and Julia last night which was based in Paris, coincidentally. I guess I'll just have to go there and see for myself, eh?

Custom made girlfriend

Guys, the wait is over. Meet Roxxxy, the programmable lady friend!  I am truly in awe of this new masterpiece set to hit the shelves for a cool 7G's in a couple months. But, with all those lovely features...could they not do any better than that on her face? (Ohhh, that's bad).
