Solid Gold Tattoos
The next big thing? Well, why not? Now you can get a temporary tattoo made from solid 24 carat gold that might last about a week.
So… how long until ghetto rappers catch onto this? The gold tattoos range in price from $50 to a crazy $5,500.

My Turkey Trot: Chicago to Kansas
Monday morning, here you are. I really didn’t know when I would be seeing you, but this last week flew by. Shucks! I have been dreading this day all week long. If you’re just catching back up with my life, as you should be, I took last week off from my blog to just relax, unwind and get away. It was wonderful not having the hassle of posts and photoshopping and thinking (ha ha). But it...

I sit here in the office on this lonely Friday afternoon. What am I doing? Well, I am replaying Francis and the Lights single Darling, It’s Alright and continue counting down the minutes to five o’clock. Then I will head home to finish laudry, pack my bags and car and head to the windy city of Chicago. I joke around every now and then that I am in need of a vacation, but honestly, I...

A little bit of shaved ginger
And then a different type of Vodka
It’s not just a cocktail, it’s a lifestyle.

It’s time to connect to those real friends of ours. Pull out some stationary or scroll through your phone book and call a friend. I’m saying goodbye to those on FB I don’t know and you should do the same.
NUD (National UnFriend Day) hopefully will inspire FBers to unfriend those that aren’t real friends. Let’s be completely serious for a minute, friending is out of...

That’s all.

Thanksgiving Break is so close I can practically smell the turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, oh, you get the idea. Before I head to the parentals and spend time with my family and just getting to relax, I thought it would be best to compile a list of do’s and don’ts of being home.
Your parents are going to be super excited to see you, so prepare yourself. Give your undivided attention on...

I Want to be on Tour Team!
So, last week one of my good friends BBMed me asking if I was still interested in applying for MU Tour Team. Well, of course I am! I found the topic to be random since applications are normally not available until the spring semester, however, she proceeded to tell me that since they expect a high number of visitors this semester they are looking to hire a limited number of new guides this...

Book Review: Never Let Me Go
by Kazuo Ishiguro
As far as I knew, Never Let Me Go was a great love story. Upon reflection of the novel I came to realize it is much more than that. Yes, it is a story of lovers, but it is also a story which depicts the strongest bonds of friendships that make one reflect on their own relationships with others. This is exactly what the novel is, a reflection on the lives of 3 people....

Being a Greek student, at this time in my life, is about one of the most important things in my life. Although I affiliate with non-Greek students, most of my time is spent thinking of how I can better my Chapter and how I can change Greek Life at the University of Missouri. This isn’t a lie. I have an entire Word document dedicated to ideas I have for changing the Formal Recruitment for...

Free Lil' Wayne?
Many who actually know me understand that I do not care to waste my time speaking of celebrities and especially blogging about them, but I feel like this is an instance where I need to just speak my mind. I am horrified that I wake up this morning to read numerous Facebook statuses and Tweets glorifying Lil’ Wayne. Yes, for those of you not already aware, Lil’ Wayne was released from...

Mortifying E-mail Mistake of the Day
A couple of days ago I sent an e-mail to everyone in my office seeing if someone could stay a little late because I had a meeting to attend at the end of the day. For some reason, everyone leaves at 4pm, so I’m always left alone. Whatever. Well, I CC-ed the wrong person. I meant to CC my boss, Dave Roberts, instead I CC-ed some random guy named Dave Robertson.
Sent: Mon...

Featured Film: "HAZE: the doctumentary"
“Haze.” I know, the first thing you think of is fraternities hazing their pledges, because that’s the first thing I thought of, as well. But it’s so much more than that. In the film, which has been shown at college and university campuses nation wide, there is a call for young people to wake up to the reality of binge drinking. I never drank in high school because I made...

Attention Citizens of the United States:
Be Smart. Do Your Part. Vote.
Edit (11:21am) This morning I overheard a classmate speaking to another about Election Day and young voters. He said he would have more desire if the slogan was “vote or die.” Campaigners, note this.

The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow, or not!
Yikes! Today, 1st November, is being declared as the most depressing day of the year. Can’t you tell? Smart researchers discovered that 66% of Britons feel depressed as those around the country struggle to come to terms with the dark winter days.
No wonder I have been walking around crying and popping anti-depressants. Oh, well. Tomorrow everyone will be loving life again. Yay! Until...

St. Louis' Blog Conference
After catching up on my blog reel I came across an interesting post from a local Columbian talking about the Show Me the Blog Conference. What? How did I miss this? Well, honestly I would have had to miss it had I known about it due to the festivities of Homecoming here at the ‘Zou, but nonetheless I heard no chit chat.
According to the webpage, Show Me the Blog Social Media and Blogging...
