Anything “Shelfy” Goes: Shelves, shelfs, shelving unit, storage
Getting rid of awesomeness. I love these items because I love to store things. I hold on to things because I have a place to store things. This works in many parts of the USA. However, after living here in NYC and acquiring these items in NYC I have realized that this concept of collecting that I have used my whole life doesn’t work as well here. It is very sad, I end up putting things on them and never bother to throw things away. I think, if it can be stored, it must be okay to stay. Well, my house slowly fills up with things that I can not use, why, just because they could be stored. I repeat again the mantra, if it can be stored it must be okay to stay.
Well, take a look at what I have got here because it is definitely leaving my place, hopefully by you. Updates on http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/2653514536.html
$20 Half Shelf unit33 Length, 32 height, 9 width, custom yellow paint job

The World Ended!
I was lucky enough to get some before and after pictures to show the differences in the NYC skyline from 5:30pm to 6:30pm on May 21st.
Don't let these beautiful pictures deceive you, the day was even more beautiful than this.
I am just glad Memorial Day weekend was allowed to happen so that we can have an awesome time with Dan and Valerie, Leslie's brother and sister in law. So we get another 6 months is what I hear before we need to be back on our toes again.
Actually, while this was happening Leslie and I were in the Stake Adult Session General Conference being instructed by Stake President Buckner about having a living prophet and apostles that we can follow and be led by. In case you are wondering, nothing was ever brought up about the end of the world either in that conference, I liked that.

It's 12am, Now What
Thursday, July 22, 2010
I AM IN LOVE WITH THE SMACKWALL!
Now, sheer pandemonium fills my soul whenever the fury of the sweeper arm or the four uncrossable big red balls unleashes a little "slice of heaven," as Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs might say, upon some wary contestants, who I would trade places with in a heartbeat! If you don't know what I am talking about go to hulu.com and type in Wipeout.
Of course all the collisions, jumps, bumps, hits, punches, demoralizing falls are an essential part to this fun show. Unfortunately, many think Wipeout is just brutality, well, it is, but it is more.With John and John hosting this show it gives the viewer a great, quick-witted assessment to every situation so that you are never bored. An excellent gauge of this humor is as follows:
If Wipeout were an SAT question it be like pan is to burner as humor is to
a) Mortal Kombat
b) Streets of Rage II
c) Carebears
d) Wipeout
e) All the above
Very tricky question, but hey, that's the SAT for you, obviously d) is the right answer.
However, even if John and John weren't there hilarity would still ensue. Case in point:
For example "What is the weirdest thing about you?" or "If you were going to be in People magazine, what inside info about you would be put up next to your picture?" and the classic "Describe your most embarrassing moment." The bad news, they still haven't called me...
I can end this post with an admonition to watch and enjoy Wipeout and as John Henson was long to say, "Goodnight and Big Balls."

HOT DOG EATING CHAMPIONSHIP 2010 at Coney Island for MLE - Major League Eating
The world's wonderment fell upon Joey Chestnut after setting a record breaking consumption of eating 68 hotdogs in ten minutes. Leslie became obsessed with this after watching it last year by happenstance flipping through channels at the gym. That 10 minutes seared into her brain something glorious and now one year later we found ourselves not more than 10 feet away in front of the savage beast named Joey Chestnut.
We arrived at 7:30-8am at Coney Island, well before the 12:30pm start. It was killer hot.
I was so close that very easily you could see food particles were going everywhere and you could see them controlling their gag reflex.
Joey describes it this way, "It's weird, because we're actually working, pushing our body and using muscles. I'm using muscles in my jaw, my throat, my esophagus, all the way down to my stomach. I'm trying to push everything down to the bottom. I'm jumping up and down, sweating like a madman."
That 10 minutes went by so fast, unbelievably fast! It was like like watching a triple overtime basketball game that had no breaks or commericals, just pure, raw action! WOW! Leslie snapped some good ones:
Joey Chesnut, "After the Fourth of July, I'm gonna be eating a lot of barbecue. I'm looking forward to that. Sometimes, I'll get carried away and eat maybe two or three times as much as a normal person. I love chicken wings. It's not unheard of for me to order a 30-piece. ... But after I've rewarded myself for training, I'll get back onto a normal diet. Just once in a while, I'll get carried away. And once in a while, I'll forget to eat. I've practiced ignoring the feelings of hunger and being full for so long, I don't even feel them anymore."
I don't know when it happened or how, but I do know that one of the greatest sports in the world is Major League Eating.
