So a good friend of mine is facing a change of residence due to his career path. He is trying to decide on which city to call home for the foreseeable future. His choices break down to these:
- Chicago
- Dallas
- Los Angeles
- Miami
- New York
Seeing as out of all his options I’ve only spent time in Los Angeles (I need to travel more), I can only make a suggestion based on my limited knowledge. From everything I’ve heard, New York is awesome if you’re making at least 6 figures. If not, then it sucks. Dallas is in Texas, and if I were going to make a big move, I would at least want to get out of Texas. L.A. is in California. And California is a beautiful state. But most people in California are weirdos. Most people! I will probably get flamed for that, so I stress the “most” part.
That leaves Miami and Chicago. At this point I would flip a coin. Never spent time in either city, so I would do some research. I hear the weather is nice in Miami. And that it’s full of Cubans. Not sure what Chicago has, except snow. And fewer Cubans. Decisions, decisions…

So I have a friend of mine I work with who is going to Hawaii for 2 weeks… for work. Can you believe that? Damn. Why can’t I ever get gigs like that? Granted, she’s a nurse, and has to go train some other nurses who will be working for us out of Honolulu, but surely they need some kind of IT support. Something must go horribly wrong on the technical side while she’s there. Hmmm…
My gut tells me that they will not be able to power up their new PCs correctly once they get there. My gut also tells me that they will need IT support to replace all the memory that was taken out magically disappeared before their PCs were shipped out. Aloha!

Sports Illustrated’s annual swimsuit issue came out this week with Beyonce on the cover. Not bad! Not bad at all! Apparently they are doing some kind of music theme in this issue. Otherwise Beyonce on there wouldn’t make much sense, would it?
I hear there is a picture with a supermodel and her iPod. And that’s it! Nothing else. Not sure if that shot alone is worth checking out the issue. I will do my duty and investigate this, so that we may all sleep better.

I’ll admit it. I have never liked Carlos Mencia. Ask my buddy Rich. He would go on and on about how great Carlos Mencia is. I remember giving his show a chance and thinking what crap it was. Mind of Mencia? This was the best that Comedy Central could do after Dave Chapelle left them high and dry? Please.
Anyway, there is video out on the web showing Joe Rogan (Fear Factor guy) confronting Carlos Mencia (or should I say ‘Ned’) about how Mencia has been stealing material from other comics, including George Lopez. Apparently this has been happening for quite some time! And I have to tell you, it was awesome seeing Mencia squirm on stage trying to play it off. Dude is a thief! You can see the video below.
My buddy Brian makes an extremely good point: Joe Rogan is a comedian? Never thought of him as funny. But the video is comedy gold!

A friend just sent this to me. I *heart* this show. Thanks Jenny!
To those of you that put a lot of stock in today, I wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day. For those of you like me that realize this was a manufactured holiday by the corporate world to suck more money out of our wallet and at the same time cause us unnecessary stress, Happy Sucker’s Day.
Here’s a nice little rant from a writer on MSN.com. Why she LOVES Valentine’s Day.
-Dave Q.
Most of you know how I feel about Valentine’s Day. That it’s pretty much a fraud. But that doesn’t mean I won’t celebrate it. I’m not a monster. I know how much Valentine’s Day can mean to some people (women). So, I do go out and buy her gifts. And more enjoyably for me, I do take my Valentine out for a lavish dinner. But no way in hell am I doing dinner on February 14th! Absolutely not. Final answer. And I have plenty of reasons. Let’s go through the motions of a nice dinner at a nice restaraunt on St. Valentine’s Day. I already feel like giving Dr. Kevorkian a call.
To start, you must make reservations. But it doesn’t really matter, because you will get to your destination on time, but you’re still in for a wait. A loooooooong wait. And you will be in a waiting area with 20+ other cranky Valentine couples. And not enough chairs for everyone. It would be nice if all the “gentlemen” would give up their seats for the females, but that’s not happening either. Things are kicking off nicely.
To hell with Starbucks. I’ve never gotten coffee there. Never had an urge to drink coffee. Or cappucino. Or whatever fancy words they use these days for hot chocolate. I blame this on the bad marketing. Nothing I see from Starbucks tells me they are targeting guys to sell their products to. I don’t know if there are any other coffee chains out there, but if there are, I haven’t seen anything from them either. Seriously, though. Are there any coffee chains besides Starbucks?
But due to clever marketing, my avoidance to these snooty coffee places may come to an end. I have discovered something that has been “brewing” in the Seattle area (ha! “Brewing”! Get it?). A whole new way to market coffee. Brace yourselves for this. Ready? Scantily clad girls! Yes, you read correctly. Girls, in some cases wearing just their bras and panties, serving you coffee through a drive-thru window. Brilliant!

It’s like Hooters meets Maxwell House, but with hot girls instead of skanks! Well, mostly hot girls. 
And come on. Don’t flame me for that skanks comment. We all know that today’s quality of the Hooters girl ain’t what it used to be. The girls at these coffee houses have that “girl next door” look, which is a refreshing change from the nasty, strung out Hooters girl you get that keeps forgetting your curly fires under the heat lamp. Anyway, check out the links below. I hope to be visiting Seattle sometime in the near future. And when I do, I definietly plan on getting my coffee drink on!

Please pass the sugar. Huh? This stuff is already sweet? I knew that.

Here is one of the guys claiming to be the father of Anna Nicole Smith’s baby. His name is Howard K. Stern. Not to be confused with the super classy radio personality Howard Stern (As heard on Sirius Satellite Radio, which if you ask me is a great stock buy. And I’m not just saying that because I’m a shareholder. Maybe I am.). This Howard K. Stern guy has “slimeball” written all over him. He was Anna Nicole’s lawyer, which makes him look even worse. Why do I feel this way, you ask? Well, for starters, he sold this interview to Entertainment Tonight for $1 million! $1 million freakin’ dollars!!! Does that sound like something a man sincerely grieving over losing someone he loved would do? Or more like someone who realized he could cash in on all this hoopla? You decide. You can see the interview below.

Now there is serious chatter that this guy may not have only had something with Anna Nicole’s demise, but also the death of her son (Daniel who died in the Bahamas last year). The dude just gives off a sinister vibe. Kind of like that Scott Peterson dirt bag. This is getting weirder every day.
