First Dates Suck.
I had the “pleasure” of sitting next to a couple on their first date recently. It made my stomach churn. In just 30 minutes, I was able to compile the following list on what NOT to do on a first date.
Please note: I’m not making this up...
Corporate Challenge Blunders.
This week marked the umpteenth annual Corporate Challenge. I’ve participated in it several years now and it’s usually a good time. A who’s who of Buffalo businessmen and women, it’s great mingling, great boozing and a great atmosphere. It’s also great people watching. Here are the top five sights I saw this year:
Frank Lloyd Wright Was a Jerk
Strong words, yes, but I stand by that statement.
I recently got to tour the Darwin Martin House in North Buffalo. It’s unreal. If you haven’t been, I highly recommend it (although it’s probably a lot better if it’s not pouring when you go).
The detail that Frank Lloyd Wright put into this is unimaginable to me.
Combining New Kids On The Block and Back Street Boys, Best concept. Ever.
Last week, my friend surprised me with a ticket to NKOTBSB. I had previously turned down a ticket three times due to money-saving antics. (It was hard. Very hard. And yes, that’s what she said.) But one of the concert-goers had to back out and I was in.
Now, I had seen NKOTB twice before, and while I was never a true Backstreet Boys fan (I could only name one of them), I did like some of their son
It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
It always surprises me when I hear people say Sunday is their favorite day of the week. Sure, I love the relaxation Sunday brings, but it’s not that relaxing when you have to think about the week ahead of you.
That’s why I’m totally ecstatic for today. Memorial Day weekend means the start of summer. It means I finally have a truly relaxing Sunday. Plus, it means it’s the first day off most of us h
Mildred Baena – Even Ug-os Have Their Day
Unless you’ve been in a hole somewhere, you’ve heard the story surrounding Arnold Schwarzenegger and his infidelity. While the adultery wasn’t that much of a surprise in this day and age, his mistress was.
Let me start off by saying that I’m nowhere near beautiful, nor do I have a perfect body. But have you seen Mildred Baena? In the words of Kevin McAlister in the hit movie, “Home Alone,” “Buzz,
Ads I Wish I Wrote: First Edition
Yesterday, I shared a terrible ad. (Did you have nightmares?) Today I’ll share one of my new favorites. It’s actually a campaign and, in my opinion, it’s brilliant. A little disturbing, yes (especially the one linked to this blog), but awesome.
Ads I Wish Would Go Away: First Edition
I admit, I have a soft spot for advertising. While I constantly fast forward through commercials, there are occasions when I stop to watch. It’s either the really good or the really bad that usually catch my eye (and, of course, the ones with the cute animals).
I wish someone would lock me out.
Earlier this week, New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush tweeted that he was enjoying his time off during the NFL lockout. Here’s what he said:
“Everybody complaining about the lockout! Shoot I'm making the most of it! Vacation, rest, relaxing, appearances here and there! I'm good!”
Buffalo Criticism. For Real?
WARNING: I’m pretty passionate about Buffalo.
Visit Buffalo Niagara released its new branding for Buffalothis week, and wouldn’t you know it, there’s barely been any positive feedback about it.
I’ll admit, I had a teeny tiny part in the re-branding in the beginning, so I was lucky enough to get an invite to the unveiling on Tuesday. I sat in a room, taking in the new campaign for the first time. C
