The next epidemic is warm and cozy

If and when Sexy Sweaters starts selling some gear, there are going to be so many new sweater addictions, myself included. It was quite difficult to choose only two to show you, so go and and give it a look-see. What are your faves?

 

A Creative Reflection

Proof there is beauty in advertising.

If I had to live in a van down by the river, this trailer would be attached to it.

It’s hard for me to resist a good Tommy Boy reference. It’s one of my favorite movies (yes, I’m a sucker for the classics – Tommy Boy, Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore). I miss Chris Farley as much as I miss camping. Actually, I’ve only been camping once or twice – I’ve always been more into cities and hotels rather than pitching a tent or peeing in the woods. But these pop-up trailers by Cricket have me itching to change that mentality and experience some mother nature down by the river. Check out the pics below or head over to BTS for more info and purchase options.

Continue making big plans and chasing dreams

I’m not sure what is more disturbing. People voting for Rick Santorum or those that believe the world is going to end on December 21st. But because the end of the year is going to be an unprecedented attack on common sense, I feel compeled to share science. The fact that NASA had to create an FAQ page addressing 2012 concerns is sort of hilarious to me, but as this scientist explains, you’ll only need to stock up on one thing for the holidays. I beg you, while others are freaking out, go on and continue making amazing things happen. This world needs you more than ever.

Who can it be knocking at my door?

There are two types of people in this world. Those willing to let a band play an impromptu set in their home and those completely freaked out by it. Let’s just say I want everything to do with the former. Knock & Rock is a simple concept – musicians knock on doors of strangers and ask if they can play two songs for them in their homes. Some people decline and miss out, others are treated to an unforgettable experience. This is way better than knocks from Jehovah’s Witnesses, political campaigners and dare I say, even Girl Scouts selling Samoas.

Super snarky proposed Facebook buttons. Like.

In honor of Facebook Timeline being launched for brands today, I felt it was appropriate to share a little nerd humor. To be honest, I have no idea who made these but I’d love to see the Zuck put ‘em in play.

Secret staircase storage. Oh the possibilities…

So many possibilities here. A man cave. A potential disaster. A secret hiding spot for your weed. What else?
