My mantra this past year has been: You win some...you loose some!

Yep, every time yours truly turned around---there it was again: winning following losing--- followed by celebrations followed by grieving... and on and on. This was my "lesson" from the universe...and yes, this lesson is ongoing.

And while I'm at it: why not throw another oh- so- fab truth/cliche into this post: Every Rose Has Its Thorn!

I'm ready to have the saying You Win Some You Lose Some on my forehead so that every time I look in the mirror I won't hesitate to remind myself to NOT get too cocky OR too sad--for these will inevitably change in a Nairobary City second.

So now that you've read about my dicey year, here's your new lesson:

I've always cautioned you not to blog and drink at the same time(although its fun lol). And certainly, never drink AND drive!

However, after observing the success of Jersey Shore, the Housewives franchise and other reality shows, I've reluctantly changed my mind about blogging and drinking.

For it seems the crazier you act....the crazier you dress...and the crazier you reveal your AUTHENTIC self, the more success you will have!

Of course, this formula doesn't take into account the 99 percent of those who end up in the mental ward, jail or rehab....or sitting on a rainbow on the Other Side. And yet, the odds are vastly improving for achieving success with a LITTLE crazy thrown in to the mix.

(Preface for obvious reasons: This IS a humor blog--even though its theme is blogging.)

With that said, BOTTOMS UP! Throw caution to the wind! Get hammered and then hammer those computer keys with your drunken talent!

Why not let your Pain be your Gain???

Why not let your frenemies feel your sting? They're REALLY NOT ALL THAT! And you righteously owe them a good feet to the coals in your posts, eh?

Why not risk it & be your authentic self?

It's much safer to 'write it' then to 'act out' IRL is my sage counsel.

Plus you won't be so d***** boring to read. :-)

Errr...what's that I hear you asking?

Have I been drinking & blogging

Answer: Move over axwound.

There's a new drunk in town.

P.S. Even when you're wasted, change names to protect yo sweet a$ #helluuurr

Musicians have always set trends in men’s fashion. A new men’s fashion trend is rapidly emerging in today’s men’s fashions. The current rock star fashion for men is a combination between punk and scene fashions. This male fashion trend has been seen in bars, clubs and even classrooms.
The goal of this men’s fashion trend is to create two distinct looks. The first men’s fashion look is the mellow rock star look. This is what a male rock star would wear if he was simply going out to kick back at a club. The second men’s fashion look has more of a hard edge and is what a male rock star would wear when putting on a rock show. Here is a brief run down of the men’s clothing you will need to pull off this men’s fashion trend:
Men’s Shirts: Patch tees and men’s button down shirts can take a guy from business casual to rocker on the prowl. Men’s shirt brands such as English Laundry, Local Celebrity and Proper English all offer great men’s t-shirt styles.
Men’s Pants/Jeans: Nothing says rocker more than men’s worn jeans. Men’s jeans need to look like they’ve been worn for years to get that perfect rocker look.
Men’s Shoes: For this trend, pick men’s shoes that go with your own personal style. Typically solid dark colored shoes and boots pretty much go with any men’s clothing style.
Men’s Accessories: When you are choosing the colors of your men’s accessories, you don’t want to have an all black look. Go for men’s belts that have a lot of metal. Rock star style belt buckles and metallic belt patterns/textures are at the top of men’s fashion right now. A black wristband finishes the rock star look. Try to find a wristband with a complementing logo to create an extra rock star feel.

Follow these men’s fashion tips, and you’ll be looking and feeling like a rock star in no time!
