World's Skinniest House



 "At its most generous, the proposed place, in Warsaw, Poland, will clock in at 4 feet wide. At its narrowest, it'll be just 28 inches wide -- thinner than the average doorway."




Sounds cool if your 4 feet tall and can be thrown off your feet by a light summer breeze.

Car Slappin'

I've invented a new game. It's rather fun. It's called Car Slappin' and all the cool kids are doing it. Let me give you the background story to the game.

Lately I've been doing a lot of running. Like A LOT of running. In the last 40 days I've done upwards of 100 miles. Not too shabby. Gotta do something now that rowing doesn't consume my life anymore.

Anyway, running in Westchester County can be pretty strenuous. Apart from all the hills and busy intersections you have annoying motorists who could care less about the safety of anyone around them. Going back to this past Saturday I was running a normal 5 mile route that has the least amount of intersections and busy roads. The only time I have to worry about getting hit by a car is in the first half mile and the last half mile.

***Sidenote*** I believe in that Karma stuff. You give what you get. Literally every time a car waits for me or allows me to continue on my run without making me stop I give them a nice little thank you wave.


So finally here is what I came here to write about. I'm on my last two minutes before I finish at my apartment. I'm running on Pelhamdale and there is a little road that leads to apartment buildings before the Hutch bridge. I'm running at a pretty quick pace and there is always cars flying down this road. I'm gonna also note that I've rarely seen a car go into that apartment complex.

So, I'm about to step off the sidewalk and cross the road when I notice I'm about to have a standoff with a Honda Civic.We were never going to hit but I had to stop myself from running into the car. He couldn't wait an additional 1.5-2 seconds to let me pass. Then the genius does the most sensible think ever and slows down while he's in my way. Almost to a dead stop. That's when he earned the CAR SLAP. I give a nice little double slap to the trunk of a car that literally is causing me to stop running/slow down or almost ran me over during a run. It's my way of calling the guy and asshole and making sure he/she knew what the hell they just did. This guy was extra fun because following my car slap he beeped at me as if that was going to do anything. After the slap I carried on with my run and finished without getting chases and run down by said Civic.

I've only done 3 car slaps in my lifetime... Every time is an experience. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, SLAP that ish.

"Enough For One" - Smash new video from the makers of Clues the Movie



Naturally this video is the result of the severe boredom suffered on one fateful afternoon last month. George did the directing and filming and I made a rare appearance on screen. What's not to love? Let me know what you think.

Feel free to check out my Youtube Channel for lots more hilarious videos.

A Human Home Run


I heard the promotion going down on Twitter recently and a few days ago it happened. It's got a nice ring to it and it literally is what you think it is. A guy was launched from a cannon over the right field wall at the Lowell Spinners game.(Single A affiliate to the Boston Red Sox) I haven't been to a game in quite some time but check out the video it's pretty cool. It even managed to make its way onto news stations across the U.S. and even on Sportcenter's Top 10!




Speaking of Twitter...Follow me! I make a lot more updates and re-tweet some pretty sweet stuff. What do you have to lose?

Shout Out Central

Woahhhhhhhh, Jules Allen with the shout out from left field. Thanks a bunch. Granted it was a nice shout out but I feel like I was caught with my pants down so to speak. Not that I'm saying I didn't love the shout out. The reason I'm saying this is that I haven't had a solid post in at least a week. (Some people could argue I've never had a solid post...but that would be just down right mean.)



She's right. Followers is what it's all about. She's got 15 followers to my 4. She literally shits on my blogging life. Cheap Trick said it best. "I blog you to blog me" Something like that. Maybe if I had a direction with this blog or more interesting stories things would be different. But ya know what? I'm not complaining.

So going back to the shoutout on Jules' blog  http://laughingwalrus.blogspot.com/
"I'm hoping he'll reimburse me somehow for that complimentary shoutout : D"


You've won a lifetime of free guest blogs. Congrats! Free labor! And of course a shoutout. Give and you shall receive

Blog Name

Still Up for debate. Not totally convinced but definitely needed a change. Suggestions?

Summah Template

I figured I've gotten into a bit of a rut. Same routine day after day, with exception to this past weekend. Time to mix things up. I'm throwing a little summer flair into the mix. An ocean breeze if you will. You shouldn't have to look away in disgust when checking out my blog. So guess what? I did you a favor. It's sunny outside...It's sunny in my blogoshpere.

Keepin' that Summer Flow....
