Death Pumpkin

Let's get one thing straight right off the bat...THIS. IS. COOL!

It seems like Halloween becomes a bigger and bigger deal as each year goes by. Parties get more intense, costumes get sluttier, and sh*t gets way more expensive.

Why not escalate your pumpkin carving to coincide with the rising tide of Halloween insanity?

Introducing http://www.fantasypumpkins.com/. Your mind will melt when you see some of the different designs on this website. The Death Star Pumpkin has a step-by-step tutorial that will show you exactly how to make your very own, but this is only scratching the surface. There are HUNDREDS of patterns posted for you to attempt to duplicate that range from Angry Birds to Avatar to Alica in Wonderland.

So if you're one of those people that goes bat-crap crazy for Halloween, it stands to reason that you would also want to be the biggest pumpkin-carving badass on your street!

It should go without saying that I expect you to make me a delicious pie from all the leftovers.

Want to Live Dangerously? Live Somewhere Else

Looks like such a nice, tame city from this view, doesn't it? In reality, this is Detroit...the most dangerous city in America.

You're shocked, I know.

Recently, Forbes magazine released a list of America's most dangerous cities. The findings are based on FBI statistics for four types of violent crime.

*Drumroll* And here is the list:
1) Detroit (metropolitan area), Michigan - 1,111 violent crimes per 100,000 people
2) Memphis, Tennessee - 1,006 violent crimes per 100,000 people
3) Springfield, Illinois - 855 violent crimes per 100,000 people
4) Flint, Michigan - 827 violent crimes per 100,000 people
5) Anchorage, Alaska - 813 violent crimes per 100,000 people
6) Lubbock, Texas - 808 violent crimes per 100,000 people
7) Stockton, California - 805 violent crimes per 100,000 people
8) Tallahassee, Florida - 775 violent crimes per 100,000 people
9) Las Vegas, Nevada - 763 violent crimes per 100,000 people
10) Rockford, Illinois - 760 violent crimes per 100,000 people

Surprising to me was Anchorage, Alaska coming in at #5. Who saw that coming? I'm sure Sarah Palin can be blamed in some capacity or another.

Meanwhile, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton is nowhere to be found on the list. For that, I am grateful...

...and also slightly annoyed. I don't take well to losing. I think we can make Top 10 for next year if we try our asses off.

Let's do this.

Work Sucks...I Know

The good ol' Huffington Post has released a new series of statistics that reveal what our biggest pet peeves at work are.

One of my biggest (maybe THE biggest) is people that have loud/disruptive discussions right next to my desk even when they have their own private office right down the hall. Go in your big, spacious office, shut the door, and have a high time! Why the hell do you need to carry on three feet from my head? This isn't that complicated!

...but I digress...

Worldwide, here are the top 5 things we hate most at the workplace:
1) Co-workers that don't take responsibility for their actions
2) People who complain all the time
3) Dirty common areas
4) Meetings that start late or run long
5) People who don't respond to e-mails (Should include people who don't return calls/texts)

In America, the leading pet peeve was people that steal others' food from the fridge. Pig. It even had my name on it.

So what do YOU hate the most about the workplace? Leave your comments below!

Sociopathic Social Media

Some interesting new stats have been released by Nielsen that says that 89% of individuals use social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc) to "find and maintain old friendships". Yeah...that's "stalking" to you and me.

Another 51% of people use social media as a means to bitch and moan. (Note: What I do may sometimes seem like complaining, but it's actually "raising awareness". Because I said so.)

A mere 16% of of us use social media for the purpose of dating.

All that being said, feel free to friend me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter! Then you can stalk or complain about me to your heart's content! Just don't try to date me. I'm not really a "lower 1/4th" kind of guy...

Super Jesus Bros.

24-year-old Maryland resident Brittany Wampler recently bought a classic Nintendo system on e-bay for $31. But something about this system made it extremely unique...

Jesus was in her Nintendo.

According to Brittany, it isn't a stain or glue residue left over from a sticker. It's actually infused into the plastic.

I guess that pretty much settles it for Sony and Microsoft...turns out God is a Nintendo man.

Give me your take and leave a comment below...
