Why Do Men Cheat...

So I was going through my Google Reader articles and came across a cool site called Web Seer, via Lifehacker. So I decided to type a query of "Why do men" and "Why do women" similar to their example of "men want" and "women want". The results are pretty funny...The most common suggestion being why do women and men have affairs....as they deviate from the most popular they get pretty funny. It's interesting to see that the top 3 searches for why do men, involve some kind of cheating.

This will surely occupy a good hour of my time as I look for some funny relationships so stay tuned for more to come...





New Year, New Me



As mentioned in previous posts I haven't given my blog the time and attention it needs to grow and flourish. I've been neglecting my readers. Content is king and if there isn't fresh content then why should you come back. So I'm hoping you take this as an apology and let's kick some ass in 2010!

Therefore this post will have a "bucket list" if you will of things to do in 2010. 2009 was a pretty shitty year by all accounts for me, except for the Yankees winning the World Series. I was unemployed for the vast part of 2009 and finding a job was my job for all intensive purposes. Living in Manhattan with no real source of income and an incredibly tough job market left me a little broken but all the more stronger in the end I believe.

So in no particular order here are some things I'd like to see happen for myself in 2010.

  • Continue to not drink Soda's (This was my first resolution I was actually able to keep in 25 years, probably 15 or so years of actual resolutions)
  • Use my passport to visit a country I have not been to yet.
  • Remove fried foods from my diet.
  • Read more books (May be tough since I think I read 6+ books this past year)
  • Be cognizant of my posture, walking taller is a good thing.
  • Write more posts (Both at Yankeeist and here)
  • Cook more frequently
  • Spend less time playing Xbox360
  • Learn something completely new
  • Take a surfing lesson
  • Take a couple of golf lessons to fine tune my swing
  • Keep the weight below 205 lbs
  • Join a rec softball team

I think that's about it for now, but as each new day comes along this list is sure to grow. Here's to a happy and healthy 2010!

New Yankeeist Post

I haven't made many posts lately. That should be a resolution, in fact it will be a resolution since I haven't had any resolution in 2010 yet! I've been busy trying to come up with ideas for a new blog that I write for about the Yankees. It's called Yankeeist and I'm happy to be part of the team with two extremely talented writers in Larry Koestler and Mike Jaggers -Radolf.

Check out my latest post as a retrospective on the Alex Rodriguez trade of 2004.

Yankees All Replacement Team of the Decade via Yankeeist

So this is a little dated but a couple weeks ago I penned an article for a Yankees blog that has been gaining some good traction.

When it comes to Yankees and Sabremetrics it comes naturally so it was a match made in heaven when Larry asked me to join.

Check out the article for Yankeeist on the all time worst Yankees of the past decade..

Check back more often as I'd like to write more in 2010 both on Cleats Up and Yankeeist.

Looking Back to Living Abroad

So I was thinking today about when I lived in Barcelona Jan 06' and Paris Jan 05'. It was a great experience and I highly suggest everyone live in a foreign country for a month or so. Get immersed in the culture and see if you can handle living in a foreign place on your own.

Just so everyone is clear, I lived in Paris with a UD study abroad group. I loved the experience so much that I found an internship/housing in Barcelona the next winter session and went on my own. The latter was definitely a harder experience but I wouldn't change anything.

With the power that Google has now I thought I would share the Apt's that I lived in just for shits and giggles.

That's all, just thought it'd be cool to show where I called home for a couple months.

James Lipton was brought on for a PSA ad to warn of the dangers of Sexting/sending racy photographs. (See Grady Sizemore, Vanessa Hudgens, Rihanna, Sean Salisbury, Jeff Reed etc...) Check it out below..

Dating in the 80's was awesome

This video is absolutely awesome... I wish these types of videos still existed on cable tv... Maybe E harmony should use these clips for a commercial or something like that... My favorite is the guy in the Viking Costume because obviously that's something that turns the ladies on.
