Everything's All Right

Just gonna leave this right here...(please ignore the misspelling, I didn't do it, I promise)

And while that is a very well done Saturday Night Live skit and mimics real life, below are real life sentiments. 

The Patriots are getting healthy at the right time and on the right side of the ball. Brandon Spikes is back, Chung seems like he is back fully, and McCourty has had a few games to get back into the swing of things. If we want to sniff the Super Bowl they all have to play like they are capable. I think they can and they will. The question is really can any team in the AFC keep up with them on the scoreboard?

Time will tell.

Is this Geocities 2.0?

Looking up information on George R. R. Martin, who wrote Game of Thrones, I wound up on his website. 

I thought I was back in 1996 on a Geocities website. The colors, the layout, everything. I was waiting for some God awful midi music to start playing and some flame gifs to erupt on one of the toolbars.

Amazing writer but he obviously needs a website consultant like yesterday.

Don’t Be A Di*k During Meals With Friends and Family

I won't take credit for this at all, but it's a great idea that needs to get around more.

New Challenge for 2012

The first person to crack and look at their phone picks up the check. The (initial) purpose of the game was to get everyone off the phones free from twitter/fb/texting and to encourage conversations.

Rules:

1) The game starts after everyone has ordered.
2) Everybody places their phone on the table face down.
3) The first person to flip over their phone loses the game.
4) Loser of the game pays for the bill.
5) If the bill comes before anyone has flipped over their phone everybody is declared a winner and pays for their own meal.

Emergencies are the exception. If your phone is blowing up and you need to take a call it's understandable. The aim is to get people away from their phones when they are with friends and family and work on that social interaction rather than work on a social distraction.

I'm going to try this with my sister and my cousin. Because dammit all I want to do is eat for free and they are easy prey. I will not try this with my buddy Flack because he only got a cellphone for the first time within the last year and I'd be shocked if he actually even knows how to use it.
