Pick Them Up

I have never really been into using pickup lines when it comes to the meeting and the dating of women. I usually just introduce myself to someone and take it from there. But I do know that a lot of people (men & women) alike who feel the need to come up with something cute or witty in order to make an impression on their targeted prospective mate. I know many guys who consider themselves to be a “top notch” pickup artist and really get into finding the perfect thing to say when trying to pick up women. They can be very entertaining to watch and listen to. The reactions of the women are sometimes even funnier then the so called pick up artist.

I have found an interesting website – puaforums.com that has a lot of information for people that are looking for a variety of ways to meet people and a good amount of interesting pickup lines to try out. Amazing what the Internet now brings to us, guess it makes sense but it did catch me by surprise, but made for some interesting and entertaining reading for a while last night while eating my TV dinner and before retiring for the evening. Give them a look-see sometime if you have the need or the want to. I’ll be checking back from time to time to see what’s new in the pickup line area.

So You Think You Can Dance

Without a doubt, my favorite summer reality television show is So You Think You Can Dance (SYTCYD). Aired on Fox (which is channel 29 on our Directtv), this is like American Idol for dancers. There are the open auditions at the beginning of the season, then the next round in Las Vegas that puts the dancers through a rigorous week of challenging routines, and then the choosing of the finalists. This year, SYTYCD changed things up by only picking out five gal finalists and six guys (rather than the usual ten and ten). Also new this year is the presence of some All-Stars; these are twelve dancers who were contestants in the past and were fan favorites. How awesome it is to see Twitch, Mark, Neil and Ade each week this year! This new format where the finalists from Vegas are paired with the All Stars was a little iffy at first but seems to be working; it’s certainly entertaining. There’s also a wide variety of routines the dancers are asked to do from hip-hop and crump to salsa, jazz and Bollywood. This really is a show for everyone.

Oakley Sunglasses

Having one good quality pair of sunglasses and several pair of cheap ones is the way to go. I have a habit of losing my sunglasses and get tired of dishing out my hard earned money each time I miss place those suckers. I have been purchasing Oakley sunglasses for a long time and wouldn’t even consider owning another brand. Oakley is a good company that is known to sell top notch eye wear and they stand by their products.

I’m glad to see that you can now go online at heavyglare.com/oakley-sunglasses and purchase their products (along with other brands as well) instead of having to go down to the local mall and pay out the nose for a decent pair of sunglasses. I’m glad to see that they now offer digital prescription lenses, which is way cool for folks that need that type of eye wear. It’s an easy site to get around in and they have a huge variety to choose from. You can check out the testimonials and see for yourself what they are all about.

The only good thing about going to mall is that there is usually a nice looking girl behind the counter that makes the process easier to deal with. But I still prefer to do my shopping online if I have the opportunity to.

So Many Choices

Amazing how we have such a large variety of vehicles to choose from these days. I can’t imagine going from car dealership to car dealership to find the information needed in order to make the best choice when in the market to purchase a new vehicle. That task could take weeks and possibly months, depending on where you live.

I have been thinking of purchasing a new vehicle in the near future, just haven’t made the final decision yet. I’m grateful for the Internet with sites such as thecarconnection.com that has a great amount of information on a great variety of vehicles that are now available to the public. I’ve heard good things about Hyundai, so I’ve checked out the hyundai veracruz and the hyundai elantra, both good pieces of transportation, but then I saw an article about the chevy equinox and gave that some serious consideration for some time. So many choices it can be mind boggling I’ll tell you that!

My Dad is pushing me towards a volvo s80, volvo has a great reputation and all but I just don’t see me behind the wheel of one at this point. Maybe one day, thanks anyway Dad.

Hope for the newest version of the Washington Nationals

As a fan of the Washington Nationals, there hasn’t been much to cheer about in the brief history of the team since the Montreal Expos relocated to our city. The last month of the 2010 baseball season has changed that though after the arrival of our top pitching prospect Stephen Strasburg. It’s great having something to celebrate again, because there is a rich baseball history in the region. Long before the Washington Nationals returned, we had the Washington Senators back in 1891. Teams would come and go, but baseball in the city would eventually come back.

The difference between the teams in the last century versus the Nationals today is that ticket prices are much higher today than they were a century ago to see a baseball game. When you factor in the cost for a family of four like mine to attend a baseball game, it’s a much larger portion of the paycheck. Watching the game on direct tv packages has thankfully given us another option to see the Nationals make history. Between Strasburg and the other young players we have coming up through the minor leagues, it’s a very promising time to be a fan of the Washington Nationals.

Hopefully the “baseball gods” will see to it that we fall on the right side of history this time.
