Wanna Go on a Picnic?

Just today a friend of mine sent me a blog post from MyNextPicnic.com, and I thought it was a really cool idea (here’s the post if you’re interested): what you do is set a timer, start driving, and where ever you are when the buzzer goes off is where you have your picnic.

Wouldn’t that be a fun date idea?  I’ll have to try it sometime with my wife.

Honestly my wife is always interested in going on a picnic.  But we don’t really have the stuff for an official picnic.  So I might have to send her to MyNextPicnic.com for some picnic baskets and such, or maybe I’ll just surprise her and get one anyway!

I think the best thing about a picnic is just being out in nature eating some good sandwiches and having fun in the sun.  It’s a great summer activity that I honestly haven’t taken advantage of this summer at all.  Well, good thing the summer isn’t over yet!

Mathematical Proof That Girls are EVIL

Some of you have probably seen this before, and if my wife saw me posting this here she would either laugh or hit me.  But I’m willing to take the chance in order to let all of you unsuspecting guys out there know that it has been mathematically proven that girls are evil!!!

Here’s the proof:

There you go!  Irrefutable proof since it has not been proven mathematically!

Ok, honestly I think I first saw this about 10 years ago, but it’s still pretty funny!

Tucanos

Today for lunch I went with my department to Tucanos Brazilian Grill.  Apparently this is mainly just a Utah restaurant (they only have 3 locations, 2 in Utah and 1 in New Mexico).  But man is it good food!  Another restaurant that is basically the same thing is Rodizio Grill (they only have 2 locations, one in Salt Lake City and the other in Denver).

So here’s the basic idea: you have a salad bar, and then you have guys coming around with different types of meat.  You get whatever you want from the salad bar, and then you sit at your table and whenever they bring a meat that you’re interested in, they cut some off for you.

What could be better?!  So next time you’re in Utah, check this place out!  It’s good food, no doubt about that.

Who Has Time for a Massage?

To be completely honest, I’ve never had a real massage.  I’ve had my wife give me a short massage from time to time, but I’ve never had one done by a professional.

I have had massages done by different chairs though.  Not sure if that really counts, but sometimes that the best you can do with a busy schedule right?  One thing I’ve found though is that some of those chairs seem to cause more pain than anything else.  I think this falls into the category of “You get what you pay for.”

Well, I came across some information about a bed called the Takemi Jade Vista 5000 Massage Bed. Now this thing sounds pretty cool. It uses some special infrared light and other things to really get into the deep tissues of your body. I’d love to try one of these things out!

The Dark Knight - Just Plain Awesome

So over the weekend my wife and I and her friends in Idaho went to a showing of The Dark Knight.  Now, if you’ve been reading this blog you know that I’ve been excited to go see this one for some time now, and I was extra excited when we had the chance to see it opening weekend!

This movie rocks.  It’s everything that you would want to see in the Joker vs. Batman saga.  I know when I first heard that Heath Ledger was going to be the Joker I wasn’t too thrilled about it, in fact I thought it was going to kill the movie.  And I know that I’m not the only person that thought that.  In fact, this morning on a radio show the main guy said he felt the same thing.

But man….Heath Ledger plays one creepy creepy Joker.  He played it perfectly if you ask me!  So he definitely proved a lot of us out there wrong!

One thing that I really appreciated about this movie is that it really could have been a whole lot more graphic.  But they didn’t take it that way.  They didn’t put in all the extra gore that a lot of movies would.  We knew when the joker would have cut a smile on someone’s face, but they didn’t show it.  They didn’t need to.  And that is one of the things that made this movie great.  They focused on the story of what was going on, not the stupid gore.

Anyway, great movie.  I’ll need to go see it again sometime, and if you haven’t seen it yet you should highly consider it!

Feel the Need for Speed!

Are you the kind of guy that loves to go fast?  I’m not much of a car guy, but I can still appreciate a really nice ride.  I’ll see theses decked out cars driving down the road and honestly, I wouldn’t mind having one!  Especially something with a turbo charger…that would be sweet!

So I came across this site, TurboChargerPros.com, and I’d say that if you’re looking for a way to turbocharge your car, check these guys out.  Just think, if you turbocharged your car you could accelerate quicker to get ahead of some slowpoke on the freeway, or get out of the way of something if you needed to.

Whether you need an Audi turbocharger or Volkswagen turbocharger, these guys can help you out.

If I Could Invest…

Every now and then I get thinking that it would be really great to have a ton of money to just invest in things and then live off the interest or something like that.

Seriously, it would be so great to just live life exactly the way you want.  Now, I’m not naive enough to think that there wouldn’t be any work involved, but much less than a lot of other things I can think of.  I know that my wife and I would definitly do a lot of traveling to cool places.

Well, in order to do something like this you would probably need a few things to make it happen: an advisor you can trust, a private banking accounts manager you can trust, etc. It just wouldn’t happen on its own. I should probably learn more so I can start on my journey!

Going to a Baseball Game!

I don’t think I’ve ever really been to a baseball game.  I know that probably sounds really sad, but its true.  I played coach pitch a little bit when I was a kid, but that’s all the interaction I’ve had with baseball.

But tonight we’re going to a local league game.  And I’m actually excited to go, I think we’ll have a good time.  I guess we’ll find out once the game is going…

Honestly, I’m mainly a soccer fan.  It’s about the only sport that I can watch for more than an hour and not really get bored.  We have a local MLS team in Utah (Real Salt Lake) that I need to go see sometime, but I haven’t made it a priority yet.

Renting a Nice Car in Paradise

Something my wife and I have always wanted to do together is go to Hawaii or some other place like that, and then while there rent a sports car or convertible and just drive around in paradise.

Doesn’t that sound like fun?  Just writing about it is honestly making me want to do it again…

So what’s the good news?  You can totally do that these days!  You can go to a car rental place and usually get good deals on nice cars.  In fact, I hear that Advantage Rent A Car is running a promotion right now where you can rent convertibles and luxury cars for 50% off!  Maybe I should consider doing our trip sometime soon while the deal lasts…

More Cool Police Gear!

I’ve talked about this site a couple of times, but honestly they just have some really cool stuff!  This time we’re taking a look at holsters.

Now, I should probably say that I’m not much of a gun person.  I’ve never owned one, and the only one that my dad has (that I know of) was a black powder rifle.  But recently my brother-in-law bought a handgun, and its pretty sweet.

So naturally, I would assume if you have a handgun you need a holster for it right?  Well, LAPoliceGear.com has these Blackhawk holsters that look really cool.  If this is your thing head over and check out what they have to offer!
