10 Trips To Take In Your 20’s
While this list doesn’t incorporate everything that I would like to see and do, I completely agree with the thought behind it. Get out there and explore new places, meet new people, and try new things. I recently met some new friends who are taking 2 months to explore places they’ve never been before, and I think that’s awesome. It’s a big world, experience it.

Matt’s Music Monday – Thin Line
You’ve heard Thrift Shop and Can’t Hold Us, but there are more songs listen worthy on Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’s debut album, ‘The Heist’ (Actually the whole album is pretty awesome). Enjoy Thin Lin on your monday morning and get on spotify to give the whole album a listen.

Dirk Nowitzski Singing “Satisfaction” Is Literally Music To My Ears
How do you say incredible in German? Because this is incredible. Not only is Dirk Nowitzski the greatest basketball player in NBA history, but he has the pipes of a young Huey Lewis. While everyone else is training and getting ready for a championship run, Dirk is riding around with a weird DJ and two smoke cheerleaders singing The Rolling Stones. If this doesn’t guarantee a Mavs championship I don’t know what will.

P.S. He’s 7’1, can we get him a bigger car?
Kanye West Hates Camera’s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtIMrm7KG1w&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I’m not a big fan of Kanye. He makes great music, but so do a lot of other people and they’re not the world’s biggest dickhead. I also hate the paparazzi. They’re like the worst villain in your favorite TV show. With that said, I’m on Kanye’s side on this one. It must be so aggravating being followed around by camera’s and asked dumb ass questions everywhere you go. For those of you saying “he’s famous, it’s the price of fame”, go find a highway and play in traffic. You’re telling me that he has to deal with this constant bullshit just because he happens to love music and is better at making it than 99.9% of the people on the planet? I think that’s wrong. I think we should even the playing field. If you’re a paparazzi, anytime you go out in public to hunt down celebrities you should be automatically stripped of your civil rights. They’re already animals, so let’s adopt the rules of the animal kingdom. Kill or be killed. You want a breaking story? How about I punchasize your face..for free.
My only problem with Kanye in this video is that his wrestling approach is all wrong. You need to get close to the paparazzi, about an arm’s length away, but you can’t seem too threatening. Talk to the person calmy, then put your head in your hands, and when they let their guard down, you hit them with sweet chin music. A superkick right to the jaw. Guarantee they’ll be out cold. Then you hover over them and speak the magic words: “if you’re not down with that, I got two words for ya…suck it.”

Arnold and Sly Stealing The Show At Comic Con
“Over two decades ago, they were testosterone fuelled rivals in the Hollywood action hero arena. But after teaming up in two films over the past couple years, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone have clearly decided to become a super duo as they reclaim their macho careers. The ageing muscle-men joined forces on the red carpet at Comic Con in San Diego, California, to promote their upcoming prison break movie Escape Plan, on Thursday.” – DailyUK
Just a couple of best friends hanging out at Comic Con to promote their new movie. Their is no cooler duo in the world than Arnold and Sly. They have the combined acting talent of a piece of wood, but that didn’t stop them from both becoming incredibly rich, iconic American heroes. One of them was even..wait for it…the fucking governor of California. They’re roided out, they can barely move, but we love them all the same. I feel bad for everyone else at Comic Con this weekend. Once you see the dynamic duo everyone else must seem so boring. Did you beat Drago and save America? Where you an integral part of saving humanity from robots in a post apocalyptic future? Didn’t think so.

P.S. If it cost me $1 million to see Escape Plan my only question would be where do I deliver the money.
My New Favorite Commercial of All Time!
It’s unlucky I got horribly sick from Lil Ceasars last time I ate there, or else this would make me buy 20 pizzas.

PS- My old favorite commercial of all time is this.
I’m Ready For The Badwater Ultramarathon
“AdventureCORPS, Inc., an event production firm specializing in ultra-endurance and extreme sports events, hosts BADWATER® 135 annually in July of each year. Recognized globally as “the world’s toughest foot race,” this legendary event pits up to 100 of the world’s toughest athletes—runners, triathletes, adventure racers, and mountaineers—against one another and the elements. Covering 135 miles (217km) non-stop from Death Valley to Mt. Whitney, CA in temperatures up to 130F (55c), it is the most demanding and extreme running race offered anywhere on the planet. The 36th anniversary edition is July 15-17, 2013.” – badwater.com
Not bad. Little 135 mile race through Death Valley to get the blood flowing. Here’s the route these psychopath’s take:
I got tired just trying to figure out where the beginning and end of the route was. Anytime you see the words “Death Valley” in the middle of your running route I think you should just pack up your things, go home and count it as a loss. According to the official website, one of the main symptoms participants experience is chronic back fatigue. You don’t say. You mean running 135 miles over 48 hours in 130 degree heat isn’t good for the back?
Here’s an example of the beautiful landscape the runner’s get to experience:
Gorgeous right? Except the fact that you’re basically trying to complete a death march. You could project a velvet painting of a whale and a dolphin getting it on in the sky for the entire race and that still wouldn’t change the fact that I’m making the worst decision of my life.
To the legitimately insane people who complete, or even attempt this race: bravo. Give me a 48 hour heads up before you snap and start trying to rob liquor stores with rubber duckies.Because it’s going to happen.

P.S. This guy finished the ultramarathon with a prosthetic leg. Enjoy your hour of cardio on the treadmill this weekend you two legged freaks.
Why Facebook Killed The High School Reunion
Yesterday I happened to turn on HBO and what was on? American Reunion. I haven’t seen the latest installment in the “American” movie saga so I sat, and watched it. Besides “when will they stop making these movies”, one question jumped out at me: has the traditional high school reunion grown obsolete? Think about it, in this day & age you experience a high school reunion every time you log into Facebook or any other social media site. You know exactly what all of your friends from high school do for work, what they look like, how many kids they have, how many divorces they have had, and what they had for breakfast. Is a scheduled party really necessary? Here is how I see my HS reunion going: I stand with the guys I spend 99.9% of my week with, we crack jokes at each others expenses, and we fake wrestle. We do this in my basement every week, it’s nothing new. But, maybe someone from our class we haven’t “seen” in a while comes up to us. Let me explain how this goes:
Me: oh hey, good to see you.
Person X: You too, we should definitely get together soon, it’s been too long.
Me: Oh yea that would be great, we definitely should!
Neither party has any interest in actually seeing the other person until the next reunion or until they run into each other in the grocery store and awkwardly walk by each other with their heads hung low. Listen, I’m not trying to be cynical here, just realistic. All the people from high school that I want to see I can see, and I do. Everyone has there own set of friends for a reason, you get along with those people (or in my case, we can coexist without murdering each other. It’s a thin line, but we ride it pretty well…most of the time). Why force friendships? To be friendly? Ok, being friendly is a good excuse. You don’t want to be a grumpy asshole, but don’t waste anyones time by going further than “hi and bye”.
Yea reunions are nice in theory, and I will be attending mine eventually, but they have definitely lost their luster.
