"Very Creamy" - Nice, France (18 July 2006)
Came across this old blog posting from my trip to Europe with my friend Ashley. It was our second night on the 4 week trip abroad…
Exploring a foreign landscape is the most tiring thing one could ever attempt. After waking up early and adventuring around Nice for most of the day, we passed out at the hotel for a French nap. Our exploration was fruitful though, as we checked out many of the...
Girls Like Mysterious Guys

ryanpurtill:
Now I don’t know a ton about girls, I’ll be the first to admit it. I don’t know if they like being hit on, if size matters, or where they pee out of. It’s a mystery like the bermuda triangle, but one thing I do know is that girls love a mysterious adventure.
This is why when I’m out on a date and things are getting a little stale, I will pay the waiter $40 to come up to...

My ideal Super Bowl halftime show: Killers, Kanye,...
This is something fun to think about. My ideal lineup includes some really mainstream, heavy hitters, which I think is key to the Super Bowl demographic… at the same time, it offers some variety and a nice departure from the “behind the times” talent of recent years - I mean, even Janet was past her prime when she performed. I would love to even see a mix of some great indie...

How I'd spend $1,000
Assuming I didn’t actually have bills to pay, I’d easily blow through my $1k on travel somewhere. I think Australia is next on my list, so I could grab some plane tickets with the cash… and then do fun Australian things like, uh, camp in the Outback? Drink Foster’s? Snorkel the reef? “Snorkel the reef” doesn’t quite sound right.
WatchThis is way awesome. I have so many ideas using this concept already…

Obama Staff Arrives to White House Stuck in Dark... →
I hate this article. I mean, it’s interesting, but it implies that the Obama administration is held captive by the existing infrastructure of years past. With a “new mayor in town,” Barack and friends can easily work to restructure the system for the future - implementing Facebook, instant messaging, and the like into the mix. And hell, if this isn’t the greatest...
