Want natural looking wedding photos? Just rent a Photo Booth!

§ November 21st, 2009 § Filed under ideas § Tagged , , , , § No Comments

It’s all in the name of having fun! Do you know what the latest trend is, when it comes to hipster fashionable parties an events? Photo Booths! Indeed, I was also very much surprised when I first learned about this trend, but it actually makes good sense when you think about it. Also, if you think this is some kind of local fad, think again. I’ve already found a website renting out Photo Booths Denver and another Dallas and Fort Worth Photo Booth. Quite likely, these companies are now operating all across the country, and I’ve gotta hand it to them for coming up with such an ingenious business model.

Yes, I know… you’re probably wondering “why would someone rent a photo booth, when they can just hire a proper photographer”? Well, that’s just the thing: you can do both! A photographer will do his role of capturing nice photographs and document the event. But a photo booth will do its job of making people act crazy! You know how it goes… there’s something about the privacy in a photo booth that makes people get funkier than they ever would in front of a real photographer. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, I found this photo booth wedding video that does a nice demonstration of the principle. Enjoy!

It’s all about numbers and I like it! Someone up for Bingo?

§ August 27th, 2009 § Filed under ideas § Tagged , , , , , § No Comments

Thank god they invented the Internet! You see, lately I’ve been looking for a simple and mindless game to keep me distracted, and I ended up settling for bingo. I used to dislike this game for being so straightforward and un-strategic, but recently I happened to get into it and I kind of liked it. And it turns out it’s actually a fun way to spend some time, so I started considering the chance of going out to an actual Bingo night, rather than just playing from the Internet. Well, that was until I came across the following video:

After watching this, I think I’ll settle for playing my bingo on the Internet, from the comfort of my own home! I have some friends who have also been getting adepts to those bingo sites, and soon enough we may start getting together for some live-action in-house Bingo. In the meanwhile, I think I’ll just stick to those free bingo websites, thank you very much. There’s something quite soothing about keeping and eye on those Bingo cards and hoping for the right numbers to come by. And it actually gets thrilling when you’re about to succeed filling up a card! Oh my, does this mean that I’m getting old, this sudden enjoyment of Bingo? Will I ever become one of those people in the video up there?

The legendary off-season halloween party? You gotta see to believe!

§ August 21st, 2009 § Filed under ideas § Tagged , , , § No Comments

So, what does it take to make a perfect party? I’m thinking about rounding up all of my close friends and getting down for some major end-of-summer kind of action, this weekend… and I could really use some ideas. You see, I’d very much enjoy to put together a party of the legendary kind, one of those parties that people talk about for years. However, I suppose that’s easier said than done: after standing around scratching my head for an hour or so, I decided to look up some Internet videos that might be helpful. Well, the best I could find was this thing here, and I would boldly say those guys are nearly as clueless as myself:

Well anyway, I’ve been making some calls trying to get some really good ideas, and something came up that might be interesting: an off-season Halloween party, with all kinds of halloween treats and activities. Also, it would be a surprise thing: I wouldn’t tell people to get a costume beforehand; that would be just dumb. I’m thinking about just rounding up a bunch of silly garments and all kinds of crazy accessories and piling them up in the living room, right next to the liquor. Then, just as all the guests start getting boozed up just right, I’d proclaim we would actually be having an off-season Halloween party, and ask everyone to just improvise a costume using all that stuff laying around.

Also, I’m thinking about looking up a bunch of Halloween drinking games just to keep things fun, and when everyone is getting hyped up, the real fun begins: outdoor barbecue! While the barbecue is going on, I’d give a bag of treats to each guest, and invite them to go out and lure outsiders to the party. I’m guessing at this point everyone will be sufficiently inebriated to really get sociable and help draw a major crowd. I’m telling you dear reader, it’s going to be a thing of legend! How does that sound?

What is an air mattress good for, anyway?

§ July 1st, 2009 § Filed under ideas § Tagged , § No Comments

See that air mattress reviews up there? Quick, tell me what’s it good for.

If you can’t think of anything else than “to lie down the house guests”, then sorry but you’re a boring person. Air Mattresses CAN be used for that purpose, of course, but they generally provide loads more fun if you try:

1) taking them in camping trips
2) camping at pool side
3) using as raft in pool
4) sleep in different places, shake things up.

Lol, come on! That thing is comfortable and portable! Let’s use our imaginations here, don’t you think we might as well?

The coolest way to kill your Vinyl!

§ June 27th, 2009 § Filed under funny § Tagged , , § No Comments

According to many music lovers, analog music system – most notably vinyl, is still the best and most accurate way to hear a record. Well, I’m not going to argue with that, since I too am a romantic in that way; however I just found something interesting: the world’s smallest LP player. It doesn’t produce such a great sound and it’s dubbed “vinyl killer” because it does just that – wrecks your LP disc after a while… but I guess I don’t have to point out how cool it looks, right?

What if you had some expendable cars to practice your stunt driving?

§ June 25th, 2009 § Filed under ideas § Tagged , , § No Comments

There’s something inexplicably amazing about driving a car, isn’t there? The engine sounds, the picking of gears, and the amazing feeling of road going by and whistling wind… the whole driving experience is absolutely enthralling, and sometimes I get the feeling the vehicle is an extension of my own body. And this is when I feel like doing some driving crazy stunts, even though I oftentimes avoid actually doing so for the sake of security.

Yup, driving a car ban be a lot of fun, and if you’re a seasoned driver, there’s a good chance that you’ll occasionally feel like pulling some stunts. How many times have you felt like doing a parallel parking, just like in the video up there? I’ll bet it’s been more than a few times, and you probably just didn’t try it out because you were afraid to trash your car. Right?

I can totally relate with that feeling. If I was a rich man, I’d keep a fleet of old cars and set up some cheap business insurance, so I could drive around and practice my car stunts away, much to my hearts contentment. But, not being rich, that thought is somewhat impractical – sadly. I’ll just have to stick to watching these cool videos and dreaming away.

Fun with a 3D projector + buildings!

All of a sudden, I’m feeling like an old man who’s lagging behind the latest technological achievements of mankind. How come no one had told me there’s already technology that allows making such awesome three-dimensional projections? I had absolutely no idea such things was possible, so needless to say I’m extremely impressed with the possibilities displayed in the following video. If you’d never heard about this sort of thing, maybe it’s best you tape your jaw before watching this – or it might just drop off in a drooling outburst. Yup, it’s just that cool! Just watch:

Plumbers can be a whole lot of fun!

§ December 30th, 2008 § Filed under business § Tagged , , § No Comments

You want to know about fun? Fun is when you don’t get woken up at 3 AM by a burst pipe. Fun is when your home appliances work like they were originally intended to, and you don’t have to deal with clogged pipes or broken drains. Trust me, the most fun you’ll ever have is when the only Plumber you have to deal with is Mario of Super Bros. fame.

Regardless, there are times in life when you have to put fun aside in order to get things done. So next time you need a Dallas Plumber, make sure you get the best you can… so you can get back to having fun ASAP!

How entertaining can your bedroom get?

§ December 29th, 2008 § Filed under funny § Tagged , , § No Comments

There are many entertaining things you can do in your home, that’s granted: arguably even more so when it comes to your room. I mean, I was leisurely looking at these Time4Sleep beds, and soon enough these colorful thoughts dawned upon me: there’s a whole lot of fun to be had in that kind of bed! Well, taking a nap can be a lot of fun, right? And you can also read a nice book, or play some video games and watch TV. And that’s only the beggining, too! When it comes to having fun in such a notorious bed such as these ones, imagination is the limit!

Just think about it: you can solve a rubik’s cube, or put together a puzzle; you could surf the Internet using your laptop, while enjoying the confort of your new bed. But if you really want to get entertained in your new bed, then you should definitely get some company! I mean, all of the stuff that I mentioned before you can do in a bed (such as playing videogames and such) can only get more entertaining if you’ve good some good company right? And then, when you’re tired of playing games and having old-fashioned fun in your bed and you feel like something different, it’s quite simple: then you just roll over and… get to sleep! ;) Right?

When psychics FAIL: 2008 predictions by Sylvia Browne.

§ December 29th, 2008 § Filed under funny § Tagged , , § No Comments

Don’t you just love hearing a good foretelling of the future? Personally, I tend to pay close attention to the psychics which are usually invited by major TV stations to make a bunch of predictions on the upcoming new year. If nothing else, I enjoy watching such predictions because they’re usually, ostentaciously, utterly wrong – so it usually makes for great comedy material. If you think I’m being harsh, just watch this prediction which was cast by Sylvia Browne around a year ago… and tell me just how wrong do you think she’s got it.
