How Embarrassing Is Falling Down?
For those of you that do not know me, when I'm not writing the best blog posts on the entire fucking internet I am out there making the world a better place. One delivered pizza at a time. Yes I deliver pizza and I am not ashamed. So its Friday night and its pretty busy nothing crazy, but I have to go at a pretty fast pace to keep up and make sure everything gets where it needs to go on time. I show up at this house and can not pull in the drive way because there is trash barrels knocked over by the rainy, windy, sleety, shitty weather. (the weather sucked tonight). I park on the street and walk up the steep drive way and across the front yard (dodging puddles, ice & slush) to the door. I hand over the food take the cash and make my way back to the car. I am organizing the cash, putting in order, and making sure its all facing the same way. Without looking in front of me I step on a sheet of ice and my feet fly up in the air, I fall on my back,and slide down the ice. The ice turns to slush and puddles and mud as I tumble down the front yard. I rolled about 30 feet until I reached the street. I was soaked and my hands were scraped from trying to catch myself. Luckily there was no one around to see this because it would've been the most embarrassing thing to happen to me in a very long time.
Legit falling down is probably one of the most embarrassing things that you can do. I laugh when I see people fall down. I even say "Thats embarrassing" just to put salt in the wounds. I am very lucky that no one saw me fall or my reputation as a cool kid/bad ass would be ruined.

Bieber to the Mavericks?
Star Telegram - DALLAS — The NBA trade deadline was at 2 p.m. Thursday, and a lot of teams were probably looking to make a deal to improve their team.
The Dallas Mavericks?
They were looking to sign teenage idol Justin Bieber?
"If I signed Dennis Rodman, I'm not above signing Justin Bieber -- if he's old enough to play," owner Mark Cuban said Wednesday night. "I don't know if he's eligible.
"Could you check on that for me, because I'll sign him. We can ask for an exception for Bieber Fever. Get the Bieber Fever NBA exception."
Bieber, who turns 17 on Tuesday, was voted the Most Valuable Player of the NBA Celebrity All-Star game last Friday in Los Angeles. He scored eight points and distributed four assists, but his East team lost to the West, 54-45.
"That guy can play," Cuban said. "If we're down a man, he's the one I'll sign.
I am so torn on this story. At first glance I am thinking typical Mavs, have a good thing going, the team is playing good and they are looking to screw it up by adding the Bieber? For as long as I can remember the Mavs have been the NBA equivalent to the Colts (good regular season, choke in playoffs) until even they won. So now any team that is good all year and blows it is pulling a Maverick. I feel bad because I love Mark Cuban, he's exactly the type of owner I'd be, running on the floor, being a wise ass, paying fines like its nothing. Which makes me think, "should he sign Bieber?" The answer is yes. I mean MVP of the Celeb All Star is the same thing as a Naismith Trophy. Hey Mark Cuban! I got a fever and the only prescription is more Bieber!!!
P.S. I was under the influence of Bieber on youtube when I wrote this post.
Breastmilk Ice Cream in The UK
Fox News - Breast milk ice cream was being scooped up by British customers Thursday after a London parlor used milk donated by a UK mom to make the "totally natural" treat.
Victoria Hiley, 35, a mother of one from Leeds in northern England, has already donated a liter of her breast milk to Icecreamists parlor for the dish it calls Baby Gaga, UK website Parentdish reported
"What's the harm in using my assets for a bit of extra cash?" said Hiley, who responded to an advert for milk suppliers on another parenting website, Mumsnet. "What could be more natural than fresh, free-range mother's milk in an ice cream?"
The new parlor, based in London's trendy Covent Garden district, pays £15 ($24) for every 10 ounces of milk and has already had 15 mothers become donors. Each lactating woman undergoes the same health checks used by the UK's National Health Service to screen blood donors.
Matt O'Connor, 44, who runs Icecreamists, makes the dish by blending the breast milk with Madagascan vanilla pods and lemon zest.
"No-one's done anything interesting with ice cream in the last hundred years," he said. "Some people will hear about it and go, 'yuck,' but actually it's pure, organic, free-range and totally natural."
There is no way that Icecreamists is selling a ton of breast milk ice cream. There is just no way. Sure people are curious, hell I'd try a free sample, but this cant be popular. Can it? If people were that interested in breast milk they would sell it at the grocery store. Mix it right in there in between the 2% and skim would be the DD milk. Why stop at ice cream? Make breast cheese, and tit yogurt. As if men didnt think about boobs enough Icecreamists goes and puts in my head that all dairy products should come from boobies. Nice try Matt O'Connor but I think I'll just stick to my cookies and cream.

The Unemployed are too Lazy to File for Unemployment
Yahoo Finance - WASHINGTON (AP) -- Fewer Americans requested unemployment benefits last week, pushing the average number of applications over the past four weeks to the lowest level in more than two and a half years.
Applications for unemployment benefits dropped by 22,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 391,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. It was the third decline in the past four weeks.
The four-week average for applications, a less volatile figure, fell to 402,000. That's the lowest number since late July 2008 and a hopeful sign that the job market is slowly improving.
The downward trend in applications indicates that layoffs are dropping steadily. But economists are still unsure when employers will begin hiring enough to make a dent in the 9 percent unemployment rate.
So unemployment benefit requests have reached the lowest level in two and a half years. This is great news if it means that America is getting off its collective ass, taking a shower, and getting a job. I doubt it though. I'm curious if people receiving tax refunds over the past few weeks has anything to do with the dip in benefit requests. The unemployment rates are still embarrassing but lets hope that people are itching to get back to work. So dust off those suits and get out there and make something of yourself.
