1. Some people beat the heat by going commando. Sick. I beat it by putting ice cubes in my underwear before I leave home. I have my dignity.

2. I’d like to see how many men would wear a summer dress to work if the price was they also had to wear a bra filled with saline implants.

3. I have now lumped the decision to redo my website by myself into the category of one night stands gone wrong and warm vodka shots.

4. Hard work alone does not guarantee results. There’s some good arguments however for hard work seasoned with a side of lying and stealing.

5. An ad for a reading service in the paper goes “OMG, my kid has learned how to read.” Hopefully they don’t learn to overuse abbreviation.

6. Have online abbreviations (i.e. OMG & LMAO) reached the point where the hipness is overcome by the inability to sound like a normal person?

7. I try to avoid using unecessary abbreviations when tweeting. My rule is: “If the tweet does not fit, you must acquit.”

8. I enjoy when trains run alongside another on the Metro-North. Wait, why’s their train nicer and newer? Oh, I’m on the New Haven line.

9. This morning’s SomBlock is sponsored by the deodorants and body sprays that hopefully everyone in NYC remembered to use this AM.
