We're taking bets that your underwear matters...

So I accidentally bought the wrong type of underwear. I am a boxer briefs person and I bought a pair of mid-rise briefs. Since I already opened them I thought that I would try them out. It was a very strange feeling. I didn't get any wedgies or anything, but things felt different. It was almost too snug and too much of my thigh is exposed. The underwear rubs a little differently.

Guys do not really have alot of different underwear options and there is no such thing as sexy guy underwear. I don't care what Marky Mark wore back in the day. The underwear was not what made him sexy to women. After years of being a boxers person I made the switch to boxer briefs. I am not going to be switching to mid-rise briefs. It is amazing that types of underwear really do matter. Ladies enjoy the link.

We're taking bets that I am proud to be an AMERICAN!!!

BARACK OBAMA IS THE 44th
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!

We're taking bets that I was an American and I voted today...

Well it has been four years since my last vote post. I am in a different state now and it was a very different experience, but weirdly kind of the same. I was in a library instead of being with the masons. There was a strategically placed bake sale for an elementary school right outside. (I only spent three dollars, but they didn't give me a receipt so I could claim it on my taxes.)

So I walked into the library after a creepy guy complimented my Red Sox hat as he tried to give me a pamphlet. I refused because he wasn't being green and because at this point if I don't know who I am going to vote for then I should have never showed up. The place was crawling with old lady helpers, but there was one neat addition. There was a high school kid telling everyone that they need to hide or throw away the pamphlets in the voting room. He was vigilant and no one could get past him. I gave my information to the nice lady who looked me up and had a little problem finding my name. It might be because she didn't expect to see a Latino last name from me and living in Hamden, but I digress.

Once I got my ballot that was actually on an 8 1/2" by 11" piece of paper with simple instructions to fill in one circle in each column. I was then sent to a voting booth. The booths are not really booths, but tables with a three sided cardboard on it to block my votes. There also was a sharpie pen. It was pretty exciting since I was told this is a new system. WoW! Shiny new cardboard.

I filled out my ballot and got in line to put it in the fun counter machine like thing. Four people had actually screwed up their ballot and voted for too many people. There was only 6 people in line including me. This was a very easy thing. Fill in one circle in each column. There was six columns so you should have had six circles filled in. Holy crap we have a lot of dumb people in this world. I put my ballot in and another younger adult gave me an "I voted today" sticker. (It is nice to know that young people can be a part of the process but only in the sticker giving and pamphlet preventing.)

I then bought some baked goods. Went to Starbucks and paid for my coffee because I didn't need free coffee as an incentive to vote. Okay that is not entirely true; I did get the small coffee too, but only because the guy handed it to me because of my sticker. This has been a historic election and I hope my guy wins.

We're taking bets that chipmunks are actually pretty cute...

It is official. I would like to have two or three chipmunks as pets.  While I know these are not domesticated animals and they don't sing like Alvin I think they would be fun to have around.  I have seen a number of them the last few weeks. Each of them were scurrying around looking for food to store in their huge cheeks.  They are pretty. How many things actually scurry and look cute doing it?  They are at the top of the rodent chain. I think that movies like Alvin and the Chipmunks have shown that they are just waiting to be an integral part of our human society. You can bet that they will be a benefit to everyone and not bring hate but love to us. I hope one day a chipmunk named Chip and I can be friends. Of course he will have a buddy named Dale and hilarity will ensue. Oh to dream a happy dream.

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...

Britney Spears is officially back. I just saw her video for Womanizer.  She is super hot. She needs to stick to dance music and maybe a ballad here or there. As long as her life is straightened out maybe she will do the great things she is capable of. I hope so.
