Marc vs Chris
A new season of Fantasy Factory showed tonight on MTV and I always say Drama Beats and my friend Marc look alike. They have the same body type and mannerisms too.

I'm bored MTV
I didn't get the MTV TJ gig. I'll spare a rant. But since I am bored, I decided to do the challenges they post anyway!
Challenge 1 was to answer the question "Who Am I?" by expressing your identity through a digital medium. If I wasn't lazy and this mattered, I'd make a scrapbook looking slideshow of pics of various things like me at Ohio State, in NYC and other places around the world like Israel, St. Martin & Paris. There'd be pics of me and various celebs, food, family and friends. The second part of the challenge was to increase your followers. Yea, well I guess I'll skip that one. Moving on!
Challenge 2 - "Moved". Basically it's about what inspires you and why. In addition, create a hashtag (#) to be used in conversation about said inspiration. I would have to decide between a couple of things, some which were covered by candidates. #Autism or #CerebralPalsy has effected my family so maybe I'd make a flyer about that. Or other things I am passionate about like #GayRights, #SummerFun, #food, #GreenThings #travel #health/yoga #Israel or #StopPuppyMills. I think I could keep a conversation going on any of those topics which all inspire me. Then it asks to you track and cover a current event for the remainder of the competition. Some of the previous topics could cross into this or I could talk about #BPoilspill? #summerconcerts? #jobsearch? #celebgossip?
Challenge 3 - "Good Vibrations". Part 1 is asking what three musical moments have impacted your life the most. Part 2 is to find and expose a local band.
Part 1, hard to narrow down to three. Music plays a huge role in my life.:
1. My very first concert I ever went to was obviously going to be a major point in my life. I was 13 and I went with a friend to see Blink-182. We had these great seats at Jones Beach which is an open venue on the water. Super excellent time and I was addicted to going to see bands after that.
2. Growing up, I loved Dave Matthews Band. I mean, I am Jewish and went to sleep away camp, it makes sense. My friends the day of a Dave Matthews concert in 1998 had an extra ticket. I ran to a pay phone and begged my mom to go. I had tried so hard to get a ticket to this show with no luck so when my friend offered it and my mom said I couldn't go I was devastated. When I got home I cried and my mom came into my room and said "You only live once, go." It was at Giant Stadium, about to finish and about to pour. The encore was #41 and literally as the rain started, Dave started playing and the harder he played, the harder it rained. It was the craziest and still the best concert I have ever been to.
3. Bonnaroo 2005. Three day musical festival in Manchester, TN. Drove across country with two friends and experienced three days of music, joy, sweat, heat, dance and fun. I will never forget that.
Part 2 I found out needs to be an unsigned band so basically all I can think of without doing any research is my friend Jasper and his musical baby, See The World. Check out their MySpace page.
Now I'll just wait for Challenge 4 MTV. BRING. IT. ON.

Celeb Weddings Galore!
According to numerologists, 7/10/10 is a lucky day. That date being on a Saturday and wedding season being in its prime, it's no surprise three major celebrity couples chose it for their weddings.
In Georgia, Carrie Underwood, 27, wed Mike Fisher, 30 - hockey player. According to Hollywoodlife.com:
"Among the ceremony’s rumored attendees were American Idol judges Simon Cowell,Randy Jackson, and Paula Abdul as well as, according to some local residents, Tim McGraw and Garth Brooks. The incredibly tight security however and abundance of confidentiality agreements has made most information surrounding the ceremony very scarce."
Slightly north in a small city called New York and a small venue called Cipriani 42nd, a very public wedding between La La Vasquez and basketballer Carmelo Anthony tied the knot.
Guests like Kim Kardashian and Jonathan Cheban tweeted throughout the night. Wedding planner extraordinaire Mindy Weiss was hired for the festivities which was a wise choice if I may say so myself.
Across the pond, The Office's John Krasinski and actress Emily Blunt were married close to George Clooney's Lake Como Estate in Italy.
I am sure pics will emerge shortly so stay tuned! I can't wait to see them either!

JaBronie
FYI I have always for fun called Lebron James "Jabronie".
Last night we watched history as Lebron James in his free agency glory, chose to play for the Miami Heat next year on National TV.
Ah where to even begin. This whole Lebron James thing is madness. From the actual announcement to the hooplah involved.
From a PR perspective, it was great. He created something with his opportunity and literally everyone and their moms, people who didn't even know what NBA stood for, were discussing where he would go. I think it's safe to say that everyone knows the name Lebron James now.
From a sports fan perspective (and by no means do I know what I am truly talking about, as you will see in my comments), I understand his choice. He played in Cleveland for 7 years and found no success. What if you were told you had to eat the same flavor ice cream your whole life? It's unrealistic. The dude wants to win. You can't blame him. BUT...
From a Clevelander's point of view, it sucks a big one. Realistically you cant expect a 25 year old basketball player to be held responsible for the success of a city but the truth is, he is a huge factor. Restaurants he goes to skyrocket in sales. Bars on game nights are affected. There is a hero and it gives kids something and someone to look up to.
For him to go on national TV on a long distance location, call himself this great person and ball player, its hypocritical, disrespectful and insulting. People are saying he had no responsibility to Clevelanders but Clevelanders did have a special bond with this person and it almost was like a relationship. Sucks to be broken up with via National TV (cue the breakup CD circa 1999).
But all in all, I am excited to see what the future will bring. Wouldn't it be great if the Cavs won in 2011?

Dior Couture Fall 2010
Couture to me is usually too absurd to think about wearing. Not because of the price but because the design is usually just so out there. But if that is going to be the case, I prefer a show and a show is what Dior did this time! I think this stuff is just stunning!

Forever21 Fairy Tale
This is a sweet little fairy tale. It's always nice to know that you were following and supporting someone or something pre-fame and to watch them grow. Rumi Neely of fashiontoast, a blog I have been reading for quite some time, is one of the few lucky ones who make it to the big leagues.
Her blog contains fashion shots of her in various outfits she puts together. Some items are designer, some are low budget, like Forever21. Pretty brilliant mixes with some very lovely photography. The new store just opened in Times Square and who did they pick for the billboard? Her!

NYC Holiday
Drove to NYC for the holiday weekend. After a solid drive we came to a halt at the GW Bridge but we saw some fireworks in the distance so that was kinda cool. Woke up and went to look at apartments on Wall Street. They are throwing in some great deals down there! The highlight of the trip happened the first day too. We were chillin in Washington Square Park and we saw them filming Curb Your Enthusiasm. Spotted Larry David, Wanda Sykes and Jeff Garlin. The reason I am best friends with the person I am best friends with is because of Larry David. She wrote for her fun fact during sorority rush "I love Larry David" and the girl talking to us asked her if that was her boyfriend. We laughed and walked away and that was that.
Food, one of my favorite subjects, and generally what I base my plans around. We went to Ed's Lobster Cart for lunch and it was the best lobster roll I have ever had (the most expensive also). Also checked out the Standard Hotel Bier Garden. $8 ticket gets you a beer, brat or pretzel. The pretzels were the biggest things I have ever seen and came with a sweet and a spicy mustard sauce which I thoroughly enjoyed. I would go back here again for sure. Stumbled over to the Frying Pan after that and got some prime seating in the front of the boat and watched the sunset. Also enjoyed brunch at Good where I had a Basil & Goat Cheese omelet on a sourdough slice of toast and the following day, eggs benedict at my fave, The Smith.
For the 4th I set up a little picnic spot for my friends in Central Park and spent the day there relaxing. It's the one thing I wanted to do and I did it so I was thrilled. Then some friends and I walked down to the west side to watch the world famous fireworks. A guy even proposed to his lady friend in front of us during it (she said yes).
The only real problem I had was that I hate being a visitor in my own city. I was spoiled having an apartment there. It's stressful staying outside the city and having to worry about if you brought everything you need for the day. By the end of the day I was so exhausted, I didn't even have the energy to go out at night which kinda stunk cuz I was hoping to. Oh well, I'll be back!
