Stuff White People Like

Not sure how many people might already know about this, but there is a hilarious blog called Stuff White People Like. Some people find this thing offensive, but I find it hilarious.

St. Patrick's Day

Being of Irish decent, I love St. Patrick's Day. The entire purpose of the day is to celebrrate my heritage by drinking Guinness, Irish whisky, and maybe a little green beer just for good measure. Now, St. Patty's ususally falls on the 17th, but apparently this year the Vatican pushed the date of the celebrtion back to the 15th. Something about Irish people getting hammered in celebration of thier saint (don't they get hammered all the time? That's what Hollywood tells me) didn't really mesh well with the begining of one of the most holy weeks of the year. Fair 'nough. Anyway, that means that celebrating the holiday a little early is 100% acceptable. I'm thinking we should all celebrate it twice...

On the St. Patty's note, I was recently reminded of Proposition 3-17. Leave it to the marketing geniuses at Guinness to come up with this one. Guinness would like to make St. Patty's an official holiday in the US. The kicker is that they need to have 1 million signatures on their electronic petition by midnight on March 16th. I signed it... half the fun is trying to figure out how to make your signature look decent signing with your mouse. I would love to see this happen, but i think it still needs over 800,000 people to sign... You know what to do.

The most FOUL blog I have ever found

Because I spend a lot of time on a computer everyday, I stumbe across a lot of random blogs. I found a series of entries on a blog called "The Sneeze" called Steve, Don't Eat That. Now, this is pretty much what it sounds like. This guy, Steve, finds the most disgusting stuff around and eats it. Lots of "foreign delicacies," and lots of really, really foul stuff. I have a very stron stomach, and I feel totally nauseated from reading a few of the entries right now. Read it if you dare. The pictures are what will probably make you hurl. Bon appetit!

It's been at least a week...

...Since I posted anything on here. That's what happens when I get distracted with work. Or something like that.

Yesterday was my 23rd birthday. Overall, not the most eventful birthday to date, but an awesome one nonetheless. I had at least 4 separate people tell me how birthdays become infinitely less exciting when you become a member of the real world. That's fine by me.

Thanks again to everyone who wished me a happy birthday via facebook or text. I tried to get back to everyone, but if I missed you, thanks a million. Libby kept getting mad at me for monopolizing her news feed with my wall posts. This only encouraged me to post more.

I don't have any super interesing web junk or new music to post right now, although I did get an iTunes gift card, and I plan on scouring the store to find something awesome. I'll let you know.

That's about it for now... just getting really excited for the weekend. Spring skiing conditions are coming up quickly, which is always great. The weather's warming up (the high is 35 today! I might wear shorts!) and the sun has been shining more than ever. We apparently have a bunch of people coming to the house for the weekend, and I fully plan on extending my birthday celebrations into the weekend!

New Discovery

The sun has actually been shinig here in Vail for 2 or 3 days in a row. I'm pretty sure this is a record number of consecutive non-cloudy/non-snowy days since I moved here. I actually wore sunglasses driving to work today. I welcome the sun, but I want it to keep snowing so I can get a few more epic ski days in before the end of the season in April.

But I digress. I wanted to share a cool new online shopping destination I found... Etsy is a place where people sell the cool stuff they make. It has everything from art and furniture to clothes and jewelry. Very cool place... Check it out.
