Are We Too Busy?

I think it's okay to be busy to better our self but we should set aside time for ourselves to relax and enjoy the moment.

Swedish Plus-Sized Mannequins

A clothing store in Sweden is being praised for the display of two plus sized mannequins. The mannequins had softer stomachs and fuller thighs as opposed to the traditional size 4-6 skinny racks. Some criticized the mannequins suggesting that it promoted obesity and unhealthy living. I think that claim is bull shit because the realty is most women resemble that fuller look who probably has a healthier BMI compared to the anorexic model. I think they should be put in stores alongside the skinnier ones to raise the self esteem of girls and women.

Song of the Day: Washed Out - Feel it all Around

Chunky Speedo Man is the Best Dancer in Viral Video lol

Hahaha this video is amazing on so many levels. The music is dope and the dancing is hilarious and actually pretty good. It looks like he is on vacation in the Caribbean at an all inclusive resort, had 1 too many drinks (or the right amount) and decided to join the fitness class. He caught on to the moves really fast and added his own flavour not caring about anyone. Get it chunk man!

Second Leg of Champion League Round of 16: Man U vs Real and Dortmund vs Shakthar

WOOOOOO Champions league play is back with the second leg of the round of 16 matches. The big game we (or at least I) have been waiting for Man. United vs Real Madrid. In the first leg these two teams tied but Man U lead 1-0 because of aggregate (away goals). So Manchester can win by tieing 0-0 or just winning the match. Sir Alex Ferguson (Man U coach) joked about stoping Cristiano Ronaldo, "I've got a plan to stop him: it's called a machete. Plan B is a machine gun!". The other game is Dortmund vs Shakhtar Do who in the the first match tied 2-2. Today two teams will be eliminated!!!!
