Random Links and Thoughts

7 Cities I fell in love with

#7 Spokane, Wa

# 6 Frankfurt, Germany

#5 Newport, Ky (across the river from Cincinnati, Oh)

#4 Naples, Fl

#3 Indianapolis

#2 London

#1 Sarasota, Fl


In a perfect city I would have....

the mass transit of London, the parks and sculptures of Frankfurt, the unique architecture and museums of Newport, the cleanliness of Indianapolis, the beaches and shoppes of Naples, the art of Sarasota, the friendliness and in-touch culture of Spokane.

After spending the last few weeks with multiple families from Long Island, NY I think I would enjoy living there (if I could afford it). They seem to have some great schools (lacrosse is like religion there, so much better than southern football). They seem to have plenty of malls and shopping. Then they are close to the city also (the restaurants alone make me crave this!).

Wherever I go I want plenty of restaurants, parks, art, and a celebration of unique cultures. I would love to live near a China Town or a similar district.

Take this test!
Like your signature city, you're vibrant and have a spicy flair. Whether you're hanging out at a café or catching a new band, you're a friendly, people person who no doubt enjoys being out and about, but who also knows how to take it slow when the time is right.

You've got a genuine interest in experimenting, and Austin's a town to satisfy all your senses. This hub of music, art, and food is the perfect place to sample the sights. Where else can you choose from over 100 bands, see a million bats on their nightly flight through a park, and taste some of the best BBQ around all in one night? But if you need to get away to enjoy the Great Outdoors, Austin can offer you that kind of escape as well. When it comes right down to it, partner, this extra-sensory city is your match made in Heaven.

And now some random links and news....

Is cleaning walls illegal? It is England! Cleaning as a new graffiti. Finally a gorilla marketing campaign that both cities and businesses can agree on, oh wait, the cities don't even like it when you clean up for them, go figure!

Why not try building an island? Check out this NEW Spiral Island.

The reasons why fat people can't lose weight. See I told it wasn't because I eat Taco Bell 5 times a week, see its all my childhoods fault!

The all time worst church marketing campaign. Well I would rather have this than those stupid huge crosses that are just really poorly disguised cell phone towers!

The blogs are buzzing. The biggest (over 125,000 people) GayDays ever is quickly approaching! I have never been to Disney during GayDays. This year I might attend (sure I'm not gay but it would be interesting to go). I hope to also attend some of the evening events at Parliament House (Orlando's premier gay club complex, actually the largest in the nation!) As a gay supporting Christian I think it would be great to make friends at these events, meet new people, check out the latest in the GBLT community. I'm not going to any of the expos or events that cost money, but the city is filled with free fun events all week long.

And a random video from Youtube that brings the inequality to those in the homosexual community
