My friend and coworker Cuddy thought he played a solid prank on me at work by sending out an email from my computer saying that focuspoint's next tour will be "entirely nude renditions of Chinese rock songs in commemoration of the Tienanmen Square 'incident.'"
It was a good prank, but I retaliated to prove my title as "Undisputed Greatest Prankster in the Office." I recorded the following video and distributed it to the entire office.
Who's the king?
This is where I spent my glory days playing soccer for Stadium High School.
When was the last time you and yours decided to dress up and go out for no reason at all?
Last Saturday night, Amanda and I were taking a mental break from the long-winded but enjoyable "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and Amanda suggested we go out after the movie. Apparently the bottle of wine we drank during the movie wasn't enough of a thirst quencher.
So, we decided to try the wine bar a few blocks away, Cork!, and dressed for the part. It was a blast! The wine was tasty and we felt great because we felt we looked great. Here we are getting ready...
It'd been SO long since I put on a tie. Definitely a fun night and a twist on the usual.

I know you've heard me say before, "I'm so old-school Facebook, I still say "THE Facebook." Well, it's true. Now that we've established my Facebook legacy, I have some advice for you:
Set an alarm to log into Facebook at 9:01 p.m. PST this Friday and claim your vanity URL at that time.
You see, Facebook profile URLs are really ugly. Right now, mine reads, "http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=25901795." This is not an attractive URL like "twitter.com/paolojr" that you'd want to publicize or put on a business card.
To solve this problem, Facebook announced that vanity URLs (Read: pretty URLs) would become available on June 12 at 9:01 p.m. PST (or June 13 at 12:01 a.m. EST). So now that ugly URL above will just read "facebook.com/paolojr." Nice, huh?
Even if you don't think you need a vanity URL because you don't care, you still do. Who knows when you will ever take the initiative to clean up your personal brand? Do your future-self a favor and take the minute to log onto Facebook and claim your vanity URL. Thank me later.
