What Ramp?

Some people think of their blogs as coffee shops. I think of mine as a dive bar with Microsoft Paint illustrations, Venn diagrams and awkward situational humor flowing from the tap. From bringing sexy back in a High School Musical bathing suit to (over)analyzing Dippin’ Dots’ outdated tagline, I’m easily entertained and rarely bored. I look at at life with a fresh perspective and I enjoy sharing it with the world.

THE TIME I WROTE 1,000 WORDS ABOUT LADY GAGA

“Where are my keys, I lost my phone.”

Lady Gaga put a tag line on my early twenties.

But yesterday, my opinion of her shifted from “another mainstream train ready to run off the track” to “someone who really (f*cking) gets it.”

The shift took root a few weeks ago when I saw her on The Ellen Show.

Until then, I knew her as the crazy pop star whose lyrics and irresistible beats forced me to showcase really silly dance moves in crowded bars. During her interview, she joked, “People are surprised that I actually sing. I’m always like, ‘I thought that was part of the gig?’”

Her interview and her performance gave more depth to the shallow image I had formed of her. At her concert in Miami last night, the roots received more nutrients and some pleather-induced oxygen. Keep reading this awesomeness…


T-SHIRT IDEAS, EPISODE 11: A YOGA CLASS MEMOIR

I have an uncanny ability to rationalize 20 sweaty minutes into a yoga DVD that, “I’ve done enough for the day.”

And so, after three months of robbery* from L.A. Fitness, I took my desire for a firm butt and my avoidance of prolonged periods of self-induced pain to yoga class, a.k.a. peer-pressured torture.

My instructor looked so calm it made me nervous. He announced that yoga is not practiced in socks. I reluctantly peeled mine off, fearful of the stench that would soon invade my air supply.

Once our attire met his qualifications, we began class with legs crossed, hands in prayer and heads bowed. A room full of people and mandatory silence puts me on edge. I wanted to giggle, but refrained. Keep reading this awesomeness..

  • Dude, did you ever hook up with Youssef? If not, can you "shuod find email of his and wnat to geeve to meh"
  • I just cackled in my living room.

    You know, when I first saw my boy Youssef's post, I was like "Should I delete? That is a really, really 'foreign' comment. Nahh. It's funny as hell. Leaving it. Wait. Will people think I'm so desperate for giggles that I wrote that myself? No. I am not THAT creative."
  • Even if he doesn't, I think this part here should melt your heart:

    "but if u sould to coic eone i think is love." - Youssef
  • Rich, It's what's deep down inside that really counts. And if he'll just type LOL or HAHA after every text, this could be a match in heaven.
  • No, I don't think that's it. He said it himself, he just wants to meet his soul mate.

    Sounds like he has no house, money, or car. Looks like we've found you a match.
  • I think Youssef is actually a prince. He said he just needs me to cash a few checks for him and his daughter will no longer be held captive? Kinda crazy.
  • Youssef wants family with his 'women'. Are you going to be one?

    Jenny - new to the site, looking forward to reading more. Maybe I can find a way to promote you over on my site, CornOnTheJob a comical approach to the effed up world of careers.
