Why Reese Witherspoon Yelling “Do You Know Who I Am” Is The Funniest Thing Ever

Posted on 18. May, 2013 by Remy Carreiro in category of Opinions, Quirked, Remy Carreiro

I know you all know the story. Reese Witherspoon's husband, Jim Toth, was recently pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving. Reese, who was also in the car at the time, got out of the car and started accosting the police. The police (and her husband) warned her repeatedly not to do this, but she just seemed to be getting more and more riled up. It culminated with the frenzied (and I say frenzied in the leanest sense of the word) Witherspoon getting arrested, and yelling something out that you really only thought people said in movies:

I can't be the only person who has noticed that Facebook is grasping at straws right now, right? They have gone through three major redesigns in as many years, and yet each time they seem to try to implement something new, it scares some of us off. Read More »

When Did Breakfast Become Dessert?

Posted on 15. May, 2013 by Remy Carreiro in category of Opinions, Quirked, Remy Carreiro
Hey, it’s a valid question.
Hey, it’s a valid question.

I love food that is bad for me. I really do. I love it so much, I am openly admitting it on a public forum. But I also know when to separate my fatty food from my regular food, and even I cannot help but notice what has happened to breakfast over the last decade. Gone is the meal of ham and eggs, replaced by something that looks like it was spewed out of a child's brain, like cinnamon cream cheese stuffed pancakes with chocolate icing. Pop-Tarts have turned into s'mores. I know it seems silly to ask, but what the hell happened to breakfast?Read More »

Next time someone asks you where the music went, tell them this.
Next time someone asks you where the music went, tell them this.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve speculated quite a bit about MTV. My pieces regarding that channel fall on both sides of the spectrum. One my site, I wrote about how MTV took advantage of a special needs kids for their own gain, and that kid died.Read More »

Yoga Pants Are Evil

I say it is time we ban yoga pants for the betterment of the world.

Yep. I’m going there.

I don’t care how happy you are when you wear them. Outside the obvious level of comfort they provide their wearer, they are bad news. Yoga pants are the only article of clothing that leave nothing—literally nothing—to the imagination. Yoga pants make it incredibly difficult for men who are trying not to be pigs (yes, we’re out there) to keep our minds in that safe, PG place.Read More »

Has Amanda Bynes Lost Her Damn Mind?

Posted on 30. Apr, 2013 by Remy Carreiro in category of Opinions, Quirked, Remy Carreiro

The short answer here is yes. Yes, she did.

But what we need to take into account is just how odd it must be to be a celebrity (even if it is D-list) as a young teen, only to fall into damn near obscurity as an adult. It must really mess with your head, to the point where you know you most likely need to do something batshit insane to really get some attention.Read More »

The Story From Inside

Remy gives us the rundown from Boston.

I suppose as a writer, I should be happy that I’m almost in the middle of an unfolding story. Having said that, in the last week I would have been happy to be anywhere but New England, to be honest, if for no other reason than being on the outskirts of a tragedy tends to be less traumatizing then watching it from inside.Read More »

And to prove it, I made a list about the types of woman every guy dates, proving, ultimately, that none of us are even slightly original.

And feminists, please relax. I am making one about guys next.

The Hippie

This one is probably the dinosaur on the list in the sense that her type is the one most likely to be extinct at some point in the future. But if you are 30+, you can attest to this. You know the hippie girl. Wears flowers dresses all the time and smells of patchouli. Makes you eat hummus and has the best wee...week ever.

For the discriminating gentleman that just can’t seem to dress himself.

It would be funny if this article simply said T-shirt and jeans and ended on that note.

But that is the very problem that men seem to have with fashion. The Lazy Guy’s Guide to Fashion says, “Look at what is on floor in front of you. Pick up. Put on.”Read More »

Or, five wonderful ways to surprise your lady.

Love and relationships are not nearly as complicated as pop culture has led you to believe. Like any endeavor worth undertaking, love takes work, but that work tends to yield its own rewards. While it's true men having taken a proverbial beating as the asses in the relationship, I don't think it is too late for us all to do something to shift that thinking.

With that in mind, here are five simple things you can do that will keep your lady smiling, and work against that “we all suck” archetype that seems to follow men.
