Happy Balls?

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

This is something I could never make up in a million years. There is a company called Happy Balls (HappyBalls.com) that dubs themselves as the largest online retailer of Antenna Balls.

Any idea where they are located? Now I am NOT making this up…Happy Balls are in CUMMING, Georgia…

The Trump Hotel - Las Vegas

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

The plane ride into Las Vegas was almost empty - just 55 people on a Southwest jet that holds 140. Maybe that is why they are almost giving away hotel rooms in town these days.

I got a great deal on my room here at The Trump, about 80% off standard prices. The location kinda sucks, as I am sure they anticipated more development in the surrounding areas. There are empty lots next door and no building activity.

The hotel however, is awesome except for one thing: A Facility Charge of $15 per day. Nobody mentioned this when making reservations and you cannot decline the charge at the front desk even though you need to initial the sign-in card accepting the fee.

Bogus.

For my extra $15 I get two 12-oz bottles of water and two 0.5-oz bags of coffee that I may or may not use. Oh, and a newspaper. Wow.

I reserved my room through Hotels.com and I WILL leave a review!

Michael Bastian launched his eponymous label in 2006 and last year took the reins as creative director for menswear at Bill Blass Ltd. Bridging the gap between flashy European couture and relaxed American classics, the New York City designer was already a finalist for the 2007 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award, and this year he garnered a nomination for CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year, proving he’s well on his way to becoming the next Ralph Lauren.

Dick Clark on New Year’s Eve

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

I admit it, I was home on the couch on New Year’s Eve with the TV remote in hand flipping channels. And like so many other years, wanted to see Times Square in New York go crazy. One year I will actually make it there so I can freeze my ass off in person, but for now, my climate-controlled condo will have to suffice.

Ryan Seacrest, who looked fat by the way, Kellie Pickler, and Dick Clark handled duties. Ryan, fat Ryan, did his usual solid un-offensive job, and Kellie asked the questions and didn’t have to pronounce salmon. OK, American Idol joke there.

Dick Clark owns the show and he can do what he wants, and apparently he felt as if he had something to add to the broadcast. But for anyone who grew up watching American Bandstand or any of his game shows, let alone the NYE shows, this was sad. Dick looked like a guy who had a stroke. And bless his heart, and more power to him, he is able to communicate and look good for a 79 year-old. But I don’t think there is anyone who watched that KNEW him back in the day that wasn’t a bit uneasy watching him on screen.

That said, I hope you all had a festive holiday and now it’s back to it so we can make ‘09 kick-ass!

Planning A New Years’ Eve Party?

Monday, December 29th, 2008

It’s about 48 hours away - New Years’ Eve! Many will sit at home and watch the Dick Clark Ryan Seacrest tag-team effort on the plasma. Others will head out and see and be seen at various hotspots, catch an overpriced concert with a yesteryear band, or hit a bar for a coundown to 2009.

If you are planning a party but have not had a chance to “plan” yet and are looking for all the things you might need…you know, a bakery, catering and a stripper - because they do all go together, you might want to visit TheParty.Net which is a DIY search engine for party and event planning that allows you to combine and localize your search. Whether you are in Guam or Newark, you can locate everything in a single click.

However you celebrate, do it safely and if you are drinking anything heavier than a diet Coke, walk, take the bus, flag down a cab or find a friendly bed to spend the night :)

Happy Holidays from BigJock.com

Monday, December 29th, 2008

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hannakah, Kwanzaa, or you celebrate all of them or none of them, there is still something about this time of year that makes me wonder why and how people can be angry with another person.

It is the season to be jolly and a time to smile and share. Many places of the USA are chilly this time of year, so donating that extra warm coat taking up space in your closet isn’t that difficult. Giving that guy who was laid off from his job a 5-spot so he can get a bite to eat isn’t that difficult. Smiling isn’t that difficult.

Sometimes life is difficult, we all know that. But Redd Foxx once said that he would rather be in a hospital bed in agony than dead! So if you are happy, sad, feeling pain or walk around with an eternal smile on your face - you are alive and that is something to be happy about.

We are happy that most of our site improvements are completed and 2009 will be a great your for you, your friends, family and that BigJock.com can be a part of your year!
