Viral Dj Today

Hey guys! Just a little heads up that vacation season has begun, and I will be taking some days off here and there... and?the first three start tomorrow. No prep Wed, Thur, or Fri. If this is too much to handle, my advice is to call in sick.

If you're signed up for the email RSS feed (on the right side of blog), then you may receive an update or two from me before Monday.

Have a terrific rest of the week. Let's roll...

Funny Wedding-Related Ads on Craigslist

Actual ads by real humans posted on Craigslist: "I would like to trade this wonderful pet (cage and all his paraphernalia included) for a wedding ring. The ideal candidate would be a deaf woman who recently broke off her engagement and is looking for a hands-off companion. If you know someone, please pass along this posting." (actual ad) "So, my fiancee [sic] and I are getting married in June. He has 8 groomsmen lined up and I only have one bridesmaid. So, I need some girls who are attractive and around my age to stand up in my wedding. You can be single or taken. It doesn't matter...you just have to be hot. But, not hotter then me..." (actual ad) "Ok, so I'm backing out on my cousin last minute, and I before I do it, I need someone lined up to take my place, because I'm not sure that he'll be able to find someone at such short notice. Pay is $200+..." (actual ad) "I am a 29-year-old female who is looking to try married life for a month. Around ten years ago I swore to myself that I would never get married (reasons being: parents, books, 'Sex in the City'). As my thirtieth birthday approaches I have begun having doubts in this decision. Perhaps I would like being married, having children, taking care of a husband. I want to find out if the choice I made is right in a practical and tangible way, and what better way then trying married life for a month. So I am hoping to trade places with another woman who is interested in the life of a single girl, and would not mind me trying out her life for 30 days." (actual ad) "I decided tomorrow I want to get married, So any takers. I'm attractive, not a psycho...well not completly:)- have a job, car, my own place, im very independent...i love sex and my husband will have to be able to keep up with me...I've never wanted to get married...ever. But life is pretty boring right now and i feel like if i get married at least its [sic] something exciting." (actual ad)

Hot Lava Action

Remember when we were kids and would play hot lava? We would tip-toe on stones hoping not to fall into the steaming hot volcano (or the dirt and weeds). Let's pretend it's real for a moment, shall we? Scientists tossed a 66 pound bag, 240 feet into a lava lake. What happens next is violent. Yikes. I will never play hot lava again.

Forget Dolls!

This has been a slow trend since the 80's, but now, for the first time ever, girls prefer playing with video games over dolls. Boys have turned their backs on boys toys, too, preferring electronic items over construction toys. Overall, a survey of children's wishlists found the top three toys for children are #1) electronic toys, #2) construction toys, and #3) dolls. The biggest dip was in interest for board games. Only 3% of those born in the 90's say board games are their #1 source of fun.

Phones/Facebook: Around your house are boardgames fun, or dangerous for family bonding?

Head Outside, Mr. Fitness

If you're looking to get the most out of your daily (or weekly) workout, then head outdoors. Researchers found that any exercise will help deal with stress, but working out in natural environments is much better for your mental health than working out in a gym.

A Toast!

Score another one for wine! researchers found a couple glasses of wine a day for middle-aged adults 'makes your life better.' Researchers followed over 5,000 people at the age of 50, and found those that are labeled "moderate drinkers," meaning no more than 14 drinks a week, scored highest in measurements of dexterity, emotion, and mobility.

Just don't catch a ride with them :)

That's So Cliche

There's nothing worse that overused workplace cliches utter by co-workers hoping to sound smart. Forbes put together a list of 89 overused phrases, here is there top 5:

1. It?s a paradigm shift = I don?t know what?s going on in our business. But we?re not making as much money as we used to.

2. We?re data-driven = We try not to make decisions by the seat of our pants. When possible, we try to base them in facts.

3. We need to wrap our heads around this = Gosh, I never thought of that. We need to discuss that?.

4. It?s a win-win = Hey, we both get something out of this (even though I?m really trying to get the best from you)

5. ROI [used in any sentence] = Look at me, I?m very financially-minded, even if I never took any finance classes in school

Other gems from the list:

• It's our cash cow
• We're eating our own dog food
• Let's put lipstick on this pig
• I'm a bit of a visionary
• My people know I have an open door policy
• Let's peel back the onion on this
• This is where the rubber meets the road
• Let?s right-size it
• We don?t have enough boots on the ground
