Look Classy on the Cheap! Rent Art.

You know how easy Netflix made movies? Pick a bunch that you want to see, and they send it to your house. Now think how classy having some independent art in your house makes you look. Aren't you trendy! There is an obvious problem with this: Art is expensive. What if you could get it for $15 a month? (or scroll down for a coupon code ;)) One new  you-selected work a month, frame included, is sent directly to you. Awesome. Convinced click: here. Not yet? keep reading.

It's called TurningArt by the way, if you want to see their fancy paid for sales pitch.

Most of us live in apartments, so one piece of art would make a real difference in how cool we look. Step 1: Have a party. Step 2: Look awesome to your friends by talking Wikipedia facts about the artist. Party every month? You need new art every month . . . I've got the solution. Don't worry it's not random art. Just like Netflix you make a list of what you like, and that's what they send. Shipping included. Everything handled. Awesome.

Still not convinced? I've got a coupon code 'facebook02' will get it for you for $10 a month. Okay now click here.

Get trendy shoppers.

Home Cookin' Thursday: Super Mac N' Cheese!

We like to keep it simple here at The New Adult Life, and it doesn't get more simple than Super Mac n' Cheese. What is Super Mac n' Cheese you ask? Well, this is Home Cookin' Thursday, which means two things. 1. I will use apostrophes more liberally 2. We're going to show you.

9/11 unedited.

I have to reflect on 9/11. Everyone does. I am going to skip the traditional "where were you?" story. I have a few major observations. They are popular things to say, but they are worth thinking about. We all lived this, but we've also all lived the years since.

1. People tend to make-up or blow stories out of proportion about how they would have been there if . . .
I had a dentist appointment or I was hung over and woke up late for work. I am sure these things are generally true, but it cheapens the luck of people who actually died. You are a fool if you say God protected you by some mishap of planning or luck. If you say God protected you, you claim that God let everyone else in the building die.

2. The media has edited the footage and taken away a lot of the true emotion. No one cried for days because buildings got destroyed. It was the people inside and watching people jump or be pushed by panicked crowds to their deaths. If you want what jarred people watching it live click this link.

3. A lot of people generally fake emotions. I did it, and I know I am not the only one. I didn't lose anyone on September eleventh. I don't know anyone who lost anyone well. I was thirteen. I didn't even really understand what was happening. I acted angry because my parents and adults around me did. If you lost someone or have a friend that lost someone or lived in New York. Then I fully support you valid emotion. If you have any real emotion I give you my condolences, but if you just feel obligated: quit. Don't make people actually affected seem fake because of your forced emotion.

4. We reacted with hate. Did you ever notice they knew exactly who did it during the broadcast? The governments reaction was to give us a target. Common reactions can be summed up as "kills those sons of bitches." Interesting we committed the same sinful emotions that drove us to be attack, and proceeded to launch wars. Wars that even if justifiable still killed thousands of innocents. Were we really better?

5. I am sure their attempt to recapture the plane was heroic. I am not saying they aren't heroes, but they weren't soon enough. Despite what Hollywood was employed to make us believe, George Bush even admits the military shot down Flight 93. Proof. It was a smart move. If I was President I would have ordered it. If you don't buy the website, think about this: There were no phone calls saying "We did it" or "We're going to try to land it" after the "Lets Roll" call.

I am sure a lot of you are ticked off or think I am anti-America. That's what they taught a lot of us to think. I don't care if you think that. This is how it is.

The Top Five Apartment Dogs for Men

A real man has a dog. There is no question about that, but some of us live in apartments. There is no room for a righteous Great Dane or a loyal German Shepard. There are, however, so excellent options.

Most dogs that are suitable for an Apartment are classified as Small or Toy (extra-small). A lot of them seem a little bit sissy, and the truth is they are. So, which breeds can save you space and man-points. My entire existence in your life is to give you the top five.

Blast from the Past! Rugged.

Remember Cartoon Cartoons? You know on Cartoon Network. Let me refresh your memory. It was a show that featured three short cartoons. Many of these Cartoon were just awesome enough to get their own full length version. Remember now? Really, still? Okay, Johnny Bravo was one (thought that might work.)

I have a favorite Cartoon Cartoon spinoff character, but I have to confess he is kind of obscure . . .

ACTION HANK!

You don't remember him either well maybe this refresh your memory. That sucker was ate up.



Take a Look Tuesday! The Historic Struggle

I have a friend named Rob who loves the Civil War. Yep, the bloodiest conflict in American History is basically his girlfriend. I know it's not every one's cup of tea, but his blog is also an excellent example of what you can pull off on blogger. I even take some tips from him on that front. Want a good read or just a good example? Check it out as I break it down bellow:

Labor Day! Let's All Have Babies! (A History of Labor Day)

Today is every one's favorite Holiday! Not because you get some candy, cards, or a visit from Santa, but because you get a day off. One day off. What makes this day off so much better than that sick day you took in March?  Why no white after Labor Day? Here's the answer:

Government: Using Zombies to keep us safe.

So, the government has had a long running campaign to get us to make disaster readiness kits. Especially after nine-eleven, Hurricane Katrina, or anything else disastrous and political.

What was their most effective program at getting us to put canned food and water in a box? Well, it's a little ridiculous:

The Center for Disease Control made a blog entry encouraging people to prepare for a Zombie Invasion. Now, they weren't serious. Although I know a few guys who would say they were, but the blog did ask people to make Zombie kits. Kits which included everything a hurricane, flood, or tornado kit would have in it.

Thanks to Zombies we are all a little safer. Thanks pop culture.

As always, here's the proof: CDC Zombie Plan

Smackdown Saturday: Buying a Dog Pet Store v. Craigslist

Alright so this is a little unconventional for Smack Down, but hey there has only been one other Smack Down so I guess not...

Because I live all alone in a one bedroom apartment I so times feel a little lonely. The house always seems so empty and quiet. One day I was sitting back taking in the lonesome when I decided on the perfect noisy annoying purchase I could make to fix my problem: a new puppy.

My first recourse as a 23 year old was to go check out Craigslist, but due to circumstances out of my control I ended up Purchasing from Petland (read on if you think I was fooled into buying from a puppy mill...if you are a hippie and know what that is...or you know, informed.)

That's me your Editor and Chief and my new pup: Wonton
