Park Behind The Blue Line...

Before I explain the meaning behind today's blog entry title, let me tell you something about my weekend...

This past weekend, Kelvin and I headed off to Tampa, Florida for our annual Buccaneers game. Since we are such time managment geniuses, we decided to catch the Red Eye flight to Houston-Tampa. If you ever want just 2 hours of actual sleep, I highly recommend the torture. On our lay over in Houston, only devouring a Wendy's breakfeast burrito and walking endlessly along the A/B/C/D/E wings of the airport allowed me to pass out temporarily on the benches of our terminal. Just imagine Tom Hanks wandering around in the movie Terminal (Hilarious!). At this point my mind already entered a state of delirium; mental garbage swimming in and out of my cranium via iPhone.

6AM At Houston Aiport

Thanks to Fon's email, I was able to entertain myself on the notion "Can a single guy and a single girl be just friends?". So I did some digging. Based off a recent poll on the Internet, the results state the following:

18% = Not Likely
38% = Sure, but it's not easy.
12% = No way, my ex bf/gf left me for his/her "friend"
32% = Yes, I have tons of guys/girls that are just my friends

Exhibit A: Ted and Barney in "How I Met Your Mother". They both caved into the seductive prowess of Robin Scherbatsky; all three are single friends. Exhibit B: "When Harry Met Sally" principle. Many great scholars agree (i.e. Tom Leykis) with this notion. Simply stated, a single guy and single girl can only be friends when one does not find each other attractive = Un-Porkable. Here's a percentage to think about. Are 32% of your single friends not good-looking enough to shag it in the bedroom? Look at it from another perspective, are 67% of your attractive single friends (same or opposite gender...depends on your preference) on The List of Porkables?

This takes us back to my initial spill on "Park Behind The Blue Line". The origins of the concept derived from the self-parking setup at the Renaissance Hotel in Tampa, FL. Since Marriott and International Shopping Plaza shared the same parking lot, hotel officials decided to draw a blue line on the pavement to indicate to hotel guests that they must park behind the Blue Line. This is where I made the connection. Friends always park behind the Blue Line, because if we openly shared our sexual intentions with one another the friendship is ultimately doomed. Yes boys and girls sexual tension will always be in the equation. Now look around and see who are your friends and who are not...LOL

1:14AM....Still Not Asleep

As I sit here typing on my Apple Wireless Keyboard (which kicks ass), I just witnessed the World Premiere of My Best Friend's New Blog Site Kelvin's Tidbits. Even after mowing the lawn and swimming, I still have energy to blog on my site, leave comments on other sites, and share my thoughts to the world. Some things spinning inside the great mind of mine:

1. Turning Dirrrrty soon...Yes I will soon will be known as XXX.

2. "Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis..." Trying to decide whether to get this T-shirt Click Here.

3. Thinking if my fantasy team will go on a tear this week.

4. And yes my GMATs...SIGH

My mind is about to go into hibernation mode...zzzz. **SLEEP MODE ACTIVATED**

Things To Do At A Dodger Game?

So my best friend, Kelvin, won Dodger tickets from work and decided to "Take me out to the ball game, Take me out with the crowd...." It was his first time at the historical "ghetto" stadium (probably his last) and my second visit (probably my last also). Being the bitter sunflower-eating Angel fan, he booed throughout the game, pointed out how many security guards were on the field (see Oakland Raiders), went back and forth on Angel and Dodger comparisons, and praised the Angels for acquiring Mark Teixeira from the Braves.

Why Am I Here?

Dodger Stadium

I too was beyond bored....so what did we do for 8 innings? We busted out our iPhones and compared notes. As the iPhone 1st Gen (Slow G) specialist, Kelvin advised (and he attempted to charge me for his services....i guess knowing the guy for 15+ years doesn't mean anything...haha) what applications needed to be loaded on the iPhone.

1. Google Search = Goooooogle it!
2. Loopt = Spyware which allows you to locate your friends.
3. AIM = Gotta have it since the chat app is blocked at work.
4. Yelp! = I will never starve or struggle to find a bar anywhere again.
5. Bloomberg = Need to get up to speed when it comes to my financial news (that's how I can afford the iPhone 3G...hehe)
6. eBay = Man we won Tampa Bay Buccaneers using this client....Bid Bid Bid!
7. Pandora = Internet streaming radio (Thanks Kelvin! By far my favorite app)
8. Remote = Use the iPhone to control your iTunes on your Macbook (everyone needs one).
9. Shazam = Can't identify that song on the radio...Bam Shazam! It even recognizes Spanish tunes...Feliz Navidad
10. Voice Notes = So I can record mi sexy voice over and over and over.....
11. PhoneSaber = Pay tribute to all the Jedi Knights of the world...Dave this ones for you!
12. myLite = Don't have a Maglite or glow sticks handy at the raves.

It's only been a week and I already have so much crap loaded....stay tuned as I tweak IP3G some more.
