Pennsylvania is Awesome take two

I like the concept of this, but I don't think I was ever happy with the design (I'll probably never be happy with any of my designs). But oh well, I put it out there, some sold but not a lot. So I did a re-design on Pennsylvania is Awesome and here it is!

I don't hate you, I just love myself more.

I so could have used one of these

No, not the chick on the leather couch, I'm married.

The snuggie, for some reason I was cold last night and put a blanket on me while I sat and watched TV. I got warm but everytime I went to get my beer, my arms got cold. Plus I couldn't keep the blanket on my shoulders too well. A snuggie would have fixed all that.

The picture I found really looks like the start of a bad porn, isn't that the only reason leather couches are still available. For porn sets??

Wow

This really just threw me for a loop when I read it. Article on Yahoo!

Game console linked to skin disorder

Feb 24, 2009

We all know that obsessively playing video games can potentially lead to a variety of problems, but can it also be bad for your skin?

Skin specialists in the U.K. think so. The BBC reports that a new condition stemming from excessive gaming has been noted in the British Journal of Dermatology.

Swiss doctors first identified the condition -- dubbed Playstation palmar hidradenitis -- after examining a 12 year-old girl afflicted with painful bumps on the palms of her hands. Thinking it was related to sweating, the docs eventually reached the new diagnosis after being told that she was playing a whole lot of Playstation, which further explains why the condition occurred only on her hands and not her feet. Even more incriminating is the fact that after 10 days away from gaming, her condition disappeared.

Having a disorder named after their primary gaming brand is certainly a bummer for Sony, but the company might find comfort in longtime rival Nintendo, who have had to contend with various reports of gamers developing tendonitis -- renamed "Wiiitis" -- from overuse of their flagship Wii console.

Shortcut To Injury?

Similar in a sense to tennis elbow, Wiiitis first made waves back in 2007 when a Boston physician found himself suffering from a severely sore shoulder the morning after a rigorous match of Wii Sports. Apparently, he wasn't the only one. In December of 2008, British doctors actually issued a warning after noting a serious rise on the number of hospital patients complaining of the condition.

But while Wiiitis is bound to strike more gamers, "Playstation Palm" is just as fascinating to physicians.

"This is an interesting discovery and one that the researchers are keen to share with other dermatologists, should they be confronted with similar, unexplained symptoms in a patient," said Nina Goad of the British Association of Dermatologists.

To their credit, Sony showed restraint in their response.

"As with any leisure pursuit there are possible consequences of not following common sense, health advice and guidelines, as can be found within our instruction manuals, " said a spokesperson for Sony Computer Entertainment of Europe. "We do not wish to belittle this research and will study the findings with interest. This is the first time we have ever heard of a complaint of this nature."

ummmm...

Wipe of the controller from time to time, or hell I don't know don't play for that long? You probably have sweaty hands, some people do. I hate getting the controller from someone with that disorder, it's fucking gross, like they dipped it in a pool of their sweat. Nasty.

But really, where's the parents of that 12 year old girl? Letting her play for hours on end? What, is she that smart that she already graduated from school?? Damn, smart girl.

And for the D-bag who was sore after Wii, so was I but I didn't whine like a little pussy about it. I got back on that horse and kept going. Plus you're probably out of shape and overweight. Wii gaming is something you need to build up overtime if that's the case.

But in the end, someone wasted money on researching this. Next time just give me that check. I got bills to pay.

Spread too thin

All these damn social networks are spreading me too thin.

Now that facebook is taking over (which sucks by the way and I don't care what you say) and everyone seems to be jumping ship from MySpace. That just bugs me, considering they're the same thing. Everyone adds you as a friend, then sends you bulletins (notes on facebook), then tries to get you to add some dumb app (which you do, even though you don't want to), and they may send you a message once then never talk to you again.

Because there was a reason you stopped talking to them. They didn't fit your life anymore, even with the internet you still don't fit. Your lives just went down different paths, and you were probably better off just seeing that at random reunion in 15 years.

But hey, whatever, my pictures will be on Picasa, my videos on YouTube, my blogs on well here, I'm not reuploading all my pictures and what not to facebook or the next big thing in 2 years. I'll join, I know this, I'm trying to push product on you. www.getfreshdesigns.net Yeah, you know you want something, just buy it. It'll make you feel good. But my stuff is going to stay in one place for the most part.

damn fads.

Update of sorts

Well, if you read my post from last Friday you'll see that I went ice skating. Well here are some pictures of that event. Look at the fear in my eyes. I struggled early, then got the hang of it. But you can't tell by these pictures because the person taking the pictures didn't take any of me doing well. Just me struggling.

Of course, I wiped out as I was about to leave. Leaving myself slightly injured, wrist pain, some back pain, a bruise on the knee and elbow.

But it was fun, I thought for sure it wouldn't be. Oh, and I haven't had the time to "write" anything else, been a tad busy and I have other things I need/want to do that I haven't yet.

Ice Skating fun

That'll be me on Saturday, ice skating outdoors at clipper magazine stadium. oh boy, I can't wait. Can't you sense my joy.

I believe I have ice skated maybe twice in my life, well over 15 years ago, probably 20. All I'm wanting is not to get hurt, that's my goal, because it's quiet possible.

Well, it should be fun. We'll see.

1 cup of white rice (uncooked minute rice)
1 cup of water
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

1 chicken bullion cube
2 Tbsp Pizza Sauce

Put all ingredients (except rice into a sauce pan) Bring to a boil, put in rice and let boil for a minute or two, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and cover. Let stand for 5 minutes and then serve.

Meh.

Is it Saturday yet. I'm tired and achy. Don't have any funny photoshops or dumb rants.

I'm blah today.

If you haven't already, but I'm pretty sure the three people that read this blog have, I'm on Twitter now: Get Fresh Designs on Twitter.

So follow me if you want, and if you don't whatever. I see how you are. I still have to figure out the best way for me to use that site.

195

It's been too long.

I have tracked my weight issues here a little. Well to recap, I use to top out at 240ish. I never weighed myself much then so I don't really know. A few years ago the wife and I dropped off our weight. At my lowest I got down to 182 and maintained 185 for quite some time. Then last April hit, stopped caring somewhat and was intaking too many calories and got all the way back up to 200 lbs these past few months. Never stopped working out, just fell into a funk of sorts. Just couldn't seem to shake off the extra weight. Worst part is, all the weight is right in my midsection and all my pants didn't fit right anymore. Frickin' sucks.

But a few weeks ago we purchased My Fitness Coach for Wii.

Ass kicked.

I'm all sore from doing all the different workouts. It's a good thing, but never thought I would have to go through being sore like that again. I also changed up my diet, like not eating the same thing everyday. that was also hurting me.

With that I am finally seeing my weight dip down again. Hitting around the mid-190s again. The goal is to be back down to 185 by early summer. I think that's attainable.

New Phone

Well, I have finally joined the texting world in full force with my new phone, the AT&T Quickfire. I like it, it's a touchscreen with a keyboard. Which is really nice when texting, way better than selecting each letter by the numbers. Also we upgraded to unlimited texts, no more overages.

Aslo, with that I have decided to join the twitter world, can't believe I'm doing this. But, here is my link: http://twitter.com/getfreshdesigns

Now, if you happen to go there you'll notice nothing is done yet, well I'm lazy. But I will be adding to this so follow if you want.

Dan Auerbach is my new hero

Dan Auerbach just released his first solo effort, I picked up the CD over the weekend. I rarely purchase music anymore (no, I don't download for free either), I just miss my favorite used CD store. That place shutdown years ago.

Anyway, I like the CD and I though I would share. Keep it Hid is on current iPod rotation, listen and repeat. You can check out his myspace page to listen for free with annoying ads that pop up after 3 or 4 songs.

Dan is also in The Black Keys, one of my favorite bands. Check them out to if you haven't already. Web Site and MySpace.

Holy Monkeys!!

Sorry kids, this is a lame ass post with no fun photoshops (or gimped).

No, the title represents the language I have to use these days. I like to swear, that's a fact I don't fucking hide one bit. Really, they're just words to me, they're not mean or nasty. Just words.

But, since I have a two and half year old, I have to watch my language as best as I can. Holy Monkeys is one way. I say Newman a lot, that is replacing dammit (which the wee one says properly.) I just say balls, he hasn't picked that up yet. There are some others, but I can't think of them.

It's rough, I have swore the most of my life, I know when to turn it off (when I'm getting paid!!). But when I'm at home, it's hard to do.

Monkeys.

Not really new

Look we all know by now that Michael Phelps smoked some weed. Oh no, like he was cooking meth in a neighborhood full of children.

And well, he lost Kellogg's Cornflakes, big deal. Stoners don't eat that shit anyhow. Phelps PR rep should be on the phone to taco bell to make a deal to be in some commercials. If there is one thing stoners and drunks like, it is late night taco bell. The ad would be great, Phelps going through the drive-thru after a "late-night training session", all laughing and shit. This is a total win-win.

Ha Ha

I really don't think anyone is surprised, and if you are. You just crawled out from under your rock and welcome to 2009.

I mean we (the fans) want these sports stars to play on a high level for years, and when they have an off year we boo them and call them washed up. Or, we ask them to keep playing when their best (sometimes worst) days are well behind them. So they take "steroids" to keep playing or gain an edge. I'm not saying it's right, but look at the millions that is thrown at them.

Now, you have to look at it this way. These players have talent, they wouldn't be there if they didn't. Steroids and HGH didn't get them there. If I started taking that stuff today, I'm doubting I will make a major league baseball team this year, or next year or even the year after. I don't have that talent.

Besides, it wasn't banned by MLB at that time.

Article: NFL hopeful of Pro Bowl's return to Hawaii [Yahoo Sports]

So we all should know by now that the Pro Bowl is being moved to the week before the Super Bowl next year. Instead of the week after, when everyone forgets about it. Also they're taking the game away from Hawaii and playing it at the location of the Super Bowl.

Overall, I think this is a great move for the NFL. This will bring more attention to the game that is forgotten in the wake of the Super Bowl, you know the end of the NFL season, but not really we have this Pro Bowl to play. I'm sure the players in the Super Bowl who were elected to the Pro Bowl will get over the fact they won't play in the game, since they'll be playing in the Super Bowl.

But here is the kicker some players have said they would not play in the Pro Bowl next year since it will not be in Hawaii.

Example:

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis earlier this week went as far as saying he would “probably not” play next year’s game in Miami if he’s selected because it wouldn’t be a true vacation.

Even Troy Polamalu isn't safe:

“It’s really awesome to have everything culminate here in Hawaii,” he said. “I know the NFL is looking to have that big bang at the end, but as a player, this is a big bang. Everybody wants to be the Super Bowl winner and come and be with their peers in Hawaii.”

Look fuckers, you make a lot of money, you can go to Hawaii during the offseason, whenever you want. Not like you're making $40,000 a year and a trip to Hawaii will break your bank. No you're making a shitload of money (at least to me you are, maybe not NBA players, but fuck them too). I don't know how accurate this is, but if I even made the base salary of an NFL player I could swing a trip to Hawaii whenever the hell I wanted.

So eat shit assholes. Deal with Pro Bowl not being played in Hawaii and the week before the Super Bowl.

I love the anonymous comments that happen, what are you afraid of? Linking to your even more pathetic site? I'm not ashamed of my work, hell I want you to see it, I'm trying to sell it. Now I may not link one particular blog everywhere, don't know which one that would be??

I'm trying to get people to view my shit. So, I don't care if you post something, anything, but let's see where you're from, link to your site.

I got nothing.

I'm still too excited from the Steelers Super Bowl XLIII win.

Until I saw this.

Thrilling finish to Super Bowl XLIII leads to highest TV ratings

I don't know, seems like bullshit to me. I'm a Steelers fan and want to accept this, but you can't tell me more people didn't watch last year considering what was at stake. 19-0 or 18-1? That was big, sorry.

Awesome Image of the Week

This is from April 2004, damn almost 5 years ago.

From our one of our mountains trips, one friend got wasted, we kept feeding him shots. But little did we realize that the above friend was also taking some of those shots. There came one point in the night that I asked where he was, no one knew, so I shrugged it off, we out to go to the bathroom and saw him laying there. So I relieved myself, went and got the camera and everybody else.




Why not share the awesome image and have it featured here on Get Fresh Designs Blog!!

Just send the image to tshirts@dugefresh.com and I will feature it here on my blog.

Come on what are you waiting on??
