Awkward Family Photos

My buddy Tom Buchok tweeted about this today, I think this site is really funny. It's called AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com, and the content is fairly self explanatory. I like making fun of people that are doing something completely innocent and that was intended to be personal.

Ones like this:

Never before has a birthday cake photograph been so chilling.

Love it.

New Office for NGAGE

So... many people are flabbergasted when they hear I have never seen the movie Office Space. To be honest, I've seen bits and pieces throughout the years (Thank you TBS), but I never seem to see the whole thing. It has never really kept my interest enough to overpower my addiction to changing channels during commercials.

I kinda feel like it might be because the movie has never really applied to me on a personal level. I was in High School when it came out, in college when it hit its peak popularity and now that I am in the working world, I haven't worked anywhere that was terrible. In fact, most of the places I have graced with my incredible talent and unyielding intelligence for hire have rejected the Office Space clichè of Hawaiian shirts and facsimile machine malfunctions.

Holding true to this track record of excellence has been my current and hopefully long time employer NGAGE.

Check out our new office in downtown St. Louis.





















You can find out more about my company here if you want. We just recently launched our new website as well, it's pretty awesome.

Check it out.

Half Naked Animal Activists.

I got a text today that said simply, "Half Naked Girls at 8th and Olive". So after rounding up a posse from the office, to help alleviate any self-conscious thoughts of being a pervert, we went to check it out. Contrary to what you're thinking, I wasn't going for any type of voyeuristic sexual purpose. I had heard that PETA was out in Downtown St Louis to protest fur and support loving animals for Valentine's Day.

I always try to support anyone trying to make our fair city more city like. What wouldn't qualify as a teenage prank in New York City can fairly be called a Guerilla Marketing Event in the STL. And I support that. Here's an example.

The four block walk was chilly and brisk, but it wasn't long before we were confronted by cold, but spirited, animal lovers strutting their stuff in the name "furlessness".

The photo above originally featured a coworker, but out of privacy for her I have replaced her head with that of Joaquin Phoenix. A former PETA supporter and spokesperson, now resident lunatic trainwreck in Hollywood.

Those PETAish/GoVegitarian type people are persuasive. If you ever get a chance to watch Meet Your Meat, DO IT... or DON"T DO IT. You have to be all in or all out, because it'll have an impact. If it doesn't decrease your Meat consumption, It'll at least make you think about what kind of meat you eat and where it comes from.

You can watch it below.



Happy Valentines Day.

"Inauguration Fever" has been fed, but...

Here are some amazing photos of the inauguration that I came across today. Pretty amazing shots.

Pay attention to the contrast between American shots and those from around the world. They are interesting on face for the international interest in Barack Obama, but there are some amazing socio-economic points of interest for me in the details. Really interesting and quality photos.

Check them out.
