The Endorsement: Issue 1
I have decided to commission Bottom Locker to start semi-weekly endorsements. I have sort of stole the idea from "Esquire" magazine's "Daily Endorsement" blog (its a good idea!), so in addition to my somewhat- weekly posts you will get a somewhat-weekly endorsement, and all it costs is a few minutes of your time (and some pity). So, with no further (Freddy) ado, Bottom Locker endorses...
1. Citi Field
I am not going to rant about the name in this post and about how its as much my field as it is the mets' (Bailout Stadium, anybody?). Instead, I am just going to post an awesome picture. You need to see it for yourself.

Two Sunday Thoughts
- Barack Obama misspoke (or might have just been a dick) and said that his pathetic bowling night was like "the special olympics." I would just like to say here that most people competing at bowling in the special olympics are probably much much better at bowling than I am. Anybody that bowls more than once every 5 years is probably better than I am.
- I don't remember who told me this, but its totally true. The face you make doing leg curls in the gym is the same face you make while having sex. So creepy yoga instructor dude, keep the lights off while you're having sex. Or just don't have sex. Trust me.

A picture is worth one post
February 6th, 2009 10:15 AM: I buy my very first digital camera. I expect to take a ton of pictures.
February 6th, 2009 10:20 AM: I am already on
the highway on the way home when I learn that my camera only has enough internal memory to hold 9 pictures at "low quality." We're off to a good start
February 13th, 2009 7:12 PM: After a full week of trying to use the camera, I realize that it has been on "video capturing" mode all this time and instead of taking pictures, I have been taking short 5 second videos of my friends and family smiling like assholes as they wonder why there is no flash.
February 16th, 2009 11:05 PM: I take the first picture of me with my shirt off. This is honestly a full 10 days later than I expected to be first taking this photograph.
March 7th, 2009 5:00 PM: On St. Patricks day (at least, the one in Hoboken) , I try to meet cute girls by having them take pictures of me and my friends. I met zero girls and have about 50 hideous pictures of me and my friends in the same exact pose.
March 8th, 2009 3:30 PM: I try to take an artsy shot of the Long Island Sound's bay in Queens in a moving car on the Cross Island Parkway. I end up taking a picture of this minivan.
March 16th, 2009 6:00 PM: I post my first facebook album with this camera. Approximately a third of the pictures are of Tom's beard. Fantastic.
Keep visiting for more stuff! I have some exciting news that I will save for the next post...

How not to be an intern
Its okay for your boss to call your work "boring bullshit," to you, but not okay for you to call your work "boring bullshit," to your boss.
Try not to tell the president of your firm he's "welcome for being the only diversity in the office."
These tips might come in handy!

This is where the mirror breaks
This is the first thing I have ever done out of pure, 100% vanity (which I just noticed shares four letters with my name). I have bought Crest teeth whitening strips. My teeth are just fine, I just want them to be... whiter. Maybe it will make our clients (or girls at the bar) like me better, and that would be cool. Or maybe it will just make my teeth whiter, which would be cool too. I will try and let you know how the whole tooth whitning thing goes. Let me know if you've had any experiences with them.

I'm glad I'm not catholic
For lent this year, the pope has a special request for the people. Instead of giving up smoking, meat or breathing (the easy stuff), he has asked catholics to give up twitter, social networking sites and text messaging. This request would have held more weight if Pope Benedict the 16th hadn't used YouTube to warn against the obsessive use of electronic communication. I can't wait to see what he says about it on his myspace page.

Eat your shorts
Food for thought: The least helpful clothing care instructions are the ironing suggestions on underwear.
