Posted by zhx on July 29th, 2008 filed in All, Randomness

I discovered a feature on my new Blackberry the other day — in the Google Maps application — in which I can perform voice searches. I push the “walkie talkie” button the side of my phone, say the name of a business, an address or something I’m looking for and Google produces a list for [...]

T-shirt Honesty

Posted by zhx on July 5th, 2008 filed in All, Randomness

I think we should destroy every t-shirt on Earth that says “World’s Greatest Dad” except for ONE and come up with some sort of system by which we can judge who really has the world’s best dad skills and award him with the shirt. Seriously, we should be fucking impressed by this guy.
Think your dad [...]

Valet Parking = Stoopid

Posted by zhx on July 1st, 2008 filed in All, Randomness

There’s a restaurant about two blocks down from my girlfriend’s place that always has a couple teenagers in cheesy valet get-up standing around out front. Every couple of minutes a very nice car drives up, a party of smug dickheads exits and one of the teenagers commandeers the vehicle over to a parking spot. The [...]

Most Idyllic Pizza Experience of My Life

Posted by zhx on June 28th, 2008 filed in All, Blog Entries, Randomness

I worked late tonight and when I got home (home as in the special lady friend’s apartment), her and a friend were already several daiquiris into a daiquiri/Yahtzee marathon.

I’m going to create a cologne called “Restraint,” which will cost like $300 an ounce. The purpose of this cologne and hence, allure, will be to NOT use it. Here is the commercial I envision:
Scene: A posh social gathering. A well-dressed woman hastily pulls a well-dressed man out onto the back patio, closing the sliding [...]
