Davis

goofy
I was born very young. I am married to The Lovely Mrs. Davis, and we share the sloppy wet kisses of three cocker spaniels: Bob, Chuck and Gordon. When I was a kid, I wanted to be either a disc jockey or the vice-president of a paper clip company.  Turns out the whole paper clip thing takes effort, so… Sometimes, I wish I could knit. My office is littered with the dry, rusty bones of long emptied Diet Pepsi cans. Carrots are one of the few vegetables that don’t suck. I am a very Leo Leo. I once had one of those astrological readings and almost all of my moons were in Leo.  I don’t know what any of that means. I don’t understand the appeal of tattoos.  I also don’t have the pain tolerance to deal with the needle. I bite my nails constantly. I am one of three people in the entire world who really likes the NBA. Some people see the glass as half-full, some as half-empty.  I see it as “Either way, I'm gonna have to wash that glass.” My favorite color is orange. I’m allergic to orange juice. I went to a very small high school in Iowa, and I am by far the most famous graduate.  The second most famous: Ashton Kutcher.  (No, seriously.) I don’t drink alcohol much, but I like to hang out in bars. I once met Christina Aguilera.  She totally busted me checking out her boobs.  I was okay with that. I think tighty-whiteys get a bad rap. Being a rodeo clown would be a good way to see the country. When I was 20, I was told my eyesight was getting so bad that I’d be legally blind by the time I was 30.  It didn’t happen, and then I got the Lasik surgery.  Suck it, blindness. I was once run over by my own car. My mother-in-law makes an awesome coconut cake. When I die, I’d like to go on a walk with God so he can explain what’s up with my crazy-ass relatives.  Then we’d play basketball, but I’d lose.  God has hops. I have the best job in the world.  I work with great people; I have an only slightly insane family; I have three pretty bad-ass dogs.  I am very fortunate.  I am grateful.

What Makes You Surprise Yourself?

It's been a process, but I have become A Dog Guy(tm). There were a couple childhood incidents where I was injured at the hands (paws?) of a dog* and it made me a big puddle of scared goo whenever canines were around.

Eventually, I was conned into getting a dog...and now we have three.  I love 'em all, but I have a soft spot for Bob, because he came to us after some jackhole abandoned him at a dog park. (The picture above was taken the day my wife found him.)  Fast forward a few years...

Facebook + Organ Donation = Mancrush On Zuckerberg

So, Facebook is all about connecting and sharing, right?  You probably connect with your friends, family, your community and maybe even people you have never met before.  You share information about your  life, work, school, your interests.  As of today, I have a ginormous mancrush on Mark Zuckerberg, because if you have Timeline, you can share that you're an organ donor.

Reflections On A Twitter Topic

I always enjoy a good trending topic on Twitter. One of today's hot topics is #YouKnowShesTheOne, where apparently people discuss how you know that your beloved is The One.

Here's some of the best ones:

Celebrate Earth Day With A Really Expensive Light Bulb

So, it's Earth Day and you're looking for a way to help the environment and maybe save a few bucks at the same time.  Luckily, the peeps at Philips have been working on it so you don't have to.  They've come up with a new light bulb that will last 10 years!  According to the bulb nerds (tm), if everybody in the US switched to these new bulbs, the amount of energy saved would be enough to light all of Washington, DC for three years.  And luckily, it's affordable: this spiffy new bulb is a mere $60!

Worst. Diet. Ever.

As a guy who could stand to lose a few pounds -- okay, a lot of pounds -- I'm always intrigued when a new diet comes along.  The latest diet craze, however, sounds like the worst diet ever.  It's called the K-E Diet, and here's how it works: you shove a feeding tube up your nose for 10 days.  That's pretty much it.  Except...

You shove a feeding tube up.  your.  nose.

Memorial Day in Blo-No: What’s Open and What’s Closed?

Memorial Day is just a few weeks away, and unlike Arbor Day – when you know everyone’s working except the trees – there’s always some question about what’s open and what isn’t. Luckily, I happen to have a handy list for you...

Food Pansy! The Facebook Challenge

As you may recall, I am a long standing Food Pansy(tm).  This has never been made more clear than with the latest meme going around Facebook: The Food List Challenge.

If you haven't seen it yet -- and don't worry, you will -- it's a list of 100 foods ranging from basic to exotic.  After choosing the foods you've tried, you can compare yourself to other friends on your Facebook list.

I took the challenge, and actually did better than I thought I would.  Of the 100, I had...

What Do The Cops Get If They Subpoena Your Facebook?

Say you become a serial killer (hey, it could happen).  The cops figure out it's you and decide to go new skool and track you via Facebook.  You know what they'd get?  A listing of activities so detailed, complete and creepy that you should strive to be a good law-abiding citizen, just to prevent it from ever existing.

Yeah, it's like that.
