Sights of Rome
Rome At A Glance
It has only been five days here in Rome, and already I feel like this city is home. While it seems like I have seen nearly everything, in reality, there is so much more to experience. In an attempt to navigate Rome, I have walked to so many places including Vatican City, the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, etc. In fact, walking has become such a usual occurence that 30-40 minute distances are both expected and enjoyed.
Trastevere, where I live.
Chagrin Falls takes on Rome. Nikki Lucci and Lindsey Watson capped off their European tour here.
Statua di Giuseppe Garibaldi
There are water spouts around every corner in Rome. Don't worry, they are all drinkable.
Shots of "Italy"- I don't recommend.
Harry Potter shots- I do recommend.
(Everclear, whiskey, and cinammon)
This plate of spaghetti alla carbonara was larger than my head. I kid you not.
Italian pizza. Need I say more?
Although I couldn't even put a dent in my spaghetti alla carbonara, Lindsey and Nikki polished their plates off. I was ashamed.
Tony's Ristorante.
Stato della Citta del Vaticano
:Vatican City
Vatican at night.
My "for mom" picture.
Hanging with some peeps halfway up Saint Peter's Basilica: Caitlin, Everett, Amanda, myself, and Alyssa.
View from the Vatican Cupola aka top. Insane.
The attention to detail in the Vatican is outstanding.
This is my bathtub. Ok not really, but it was someone's at somepoint. Badassery right here.
These freaky mosaics of baby's faces line the inner dome of Saint Peter's Basilica.
The Pieta by Michelango. Literally means "pity."
I was able to snap this photo of the Sistine Chapel before I was reprimanded. It is beyond anything you have ever seen, ever. Props Michelangelo, props.
These baby angel, or "cherub," statues are the height of an average human adult.
Ancient Rome
I think they call this the Colosseum or something.
Piazza Novano. Fountains by Bernini
Vittorio Emmanuelle. This is the tomb of Victor Emanuel, the first king of United Italy. Tourists call it the "wedding cake" and Romans call it the "typewriter."
Eating dinner in front of the Pantheon.
My other "for mom" picture.
Largo Argentina, the Ancient Roman senate where Caesar was stabbed and killed. Et tu Brute?
New Roman Forum right above the old Roman Forum ruins
Trevi Fountain at night.
The statue, designed and built by Bernini in 1762, depicts Oceanus controlling the flow of water and celebrates the discovery of a natural water source in Rome. In other words, the Trevi Fountain does not pump water by machine, but a natural flow by aquaducts.

The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem.

A different video of a great riding horse. The rider grew up at these stables and has learned to be a very good rider. I love the way the video is edited....

Walk The Dog, Get the Pretty Chick?
his is the first of the strategies to approach and pick up women during the day.The general and generic rules for success were posted on that old article. But just to remind you, remember that the most important things are for you to be natural and direct, as well as possitive and to inspire safety.As with everything, failure can and will happen. But you got to practice and develop these techniques until you get more and more successful.
As the title implies, this technique is all about dogs – and believe me, you got to love these guys. They are men’s best friend for one good reason! They are always happy to see you and are always full of energy and joy. If you have a dog as pet it would be impossible for you not to love them. But yet, even if you don’t appreciate them for all what they are already, there’s one more reason for you to start doing so. Dogs are one of the best help you’ll ever have when picking up girls during the day.
Dogs pose, for you and the girls, as a perfect excuse to open a conversation. If you were walking in the street and approached some girl, it may look a bit odd. But instead, if you approach her while she is walking out her dog, the approach becomes somehow more accepted. After all, phrases as “Oh, what a lovely dog. What’s his name?” look totally inoffensive. This applies not only for when you are the one approaching, but also when girls might want to approach you instead. It’s not so common for a girl to start talking to you randomly in the street – but if you are walking out your dog these things just happen.
Dogs are popular by themselves, but in many cases if a girl approaches you while you are walking out your dog is because she is interested in YOU and not only on him. If she finds you attractive and would like to speak with you, she might find your pet as a perfect excuse to do so. Of course, she’ll start speaking about him and not about you, but once the ice has broken, everything gets easier.
So dress up nicely, look your best and take your dog out for a walk. Or, instead, you can also go for a coffee in some nice bar with tables out, and while you are sitting down and doing something interesting girls might bite the hook. Of course, the dog will be the star of any chitchat conversation, and it’s your duty to make this become something more serious. The key, again, is to be direct. Pick up lines as “Hey, this is unbelievable. You know, this little guy never seems likes anyone… But he’s really into you” work for this goal. Keep reading this article...

Brad Elterman's Yesterday Photography

Vice has an early look at some of the pictures and stories from his book, Like It Was Yesterday,which comes out this summer. Via: Vice

Santorum "Trying" To Diss Ron Paul
“The bottom line is I am for defunding Planned Parenthood,. I am for a federal marriage amendment, which Ron Paul is not. I am for reinstating ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ – which Ron Paul is not. I’m just telling you there are clear differences on someone who is going to go out and speak about the Judeo-Christian values that this country holds, and Ron Paul will not.”
LOL. THIS GUY...

Thick Girls vs Skinny Girls
- Mars: My mouth waters seein a thick girl, nothing better than something to grab,something to hold on to,and a woman who isnt scared to eat food.
- Mars:....i use to like a "twig" (skinny) type of girl.....but they cant handle me sexually
- Rude Gyal: I always hear about guys saying skinny girls can't handle them sexually, I don't know what skinny females ya'll have been with, but this one right here handles hers and I've got plenty to hold on to.
- Rude Gyal: The whole eatin thing, i'm offended. I eat A LOT, I just don't gain weight
- Secret: I would like to be skinny so I would be representing the skinny girls too, because I know if i was I would be able to handle what was given to me. It's just a matter of the type a girl you are and how u like it ...
- Supa: Well I love a girl with curves. Thighs hips and all. I've had petite women and don't mind the tossing and turning in the sheets at all.
- Supa: though I do feel like I would hurt a skinny girl when I go hard
- Queen: A real man loves curves
- Big Blue:Girls with some type of meat to them are ALWAYS good. it's extra sexy

Memento Mori Watch by Fiona Kruger
The “Memento Mori” watch by Fiona Kruger is a skeleton watch with emphasis on the skull, it is a one off design created when she was studying at University of art and design Lausanne in Switzerland.

Fewer Accidents on Friday The 13th
There are conflicting studies about the risk of accidents on Friday the 13th. The Dutch Centre for Insurance Statistis (CVS) on June 12, 2008, stated that "fewer accidents and reports of fire and theft occur when the 13th of the month falls on a Friday than on other Fridays, because people are preventatively more careful or just stay home. Statistically speaking, driving is slightly safer on Friday the 13th, at least in the Netherlands; in the last two years, Dutch insurers received reports of an average 7,800 traffic accidents each Friday; but the average figure when the 13th fell on a Friday was just 7,500.However, a 1993 study in the British Medical Journal that compared the ratio of traffic accidents between Friday the 6th and Friday the 13th stated that there is a significant increase in traffic-related accidents on Friday the 13th. There are indications that there are more accidents on Fridays than average weekdays (irrespective of the date) probably because of alcohol consumption. Therefore it is less relevant for this purpose to compare Friday the 13th with any other 13th day of another month.
