Don't pass up the Grand Canyon. The drive might be a pain and the thought of the Arizona heat might draw you away, but this is a place that I will definitely be headed to frequently for the rest of … more
Yes, they sure do. I went to an outlet once to buy a pair of hiking boots for a backpacking trip. There weren't any 'hiking' or 'outdoor' stores, so I was getting a bit worried. There was the Nike Outlet, … more
If your path ever leads to a weekend stay in Laughlin, then look to no other place but Aquarius to book room. My family headed here after our trip to the Grand Canyon to rest up and relax for a day before … more
Jiffy Lube really depends on where you go and how talk to the folks that work there. If you show any sign of not knowing about your car, you're in for it. If you know … more
This thing is amazing! Once you get past the price (cheapest one is $499), it's really easy to get into it. I read reviews on the ipad on here before I bought mine and read how people stopped using … more
If you're in the mood for good, cheap Mexican food, you want to make sure you hit up Lolitas down in San Diego. There are several locations around SD, but for the most part -- you'll enjoy the … more
I rarely give restaurants five star ratings! So this is a big deal. I highly recommend checking out Tupelo Junction Cafe out in Santa Barbara. This place will make any morning great, no matter what … more
I stayed here after purchasing the LivingSocial deal earlier this year. The package was $99 for a one night in their King Executive Suite that included a $50 credit to the hotel's restaurant. Pretty … more
This place is the best place to go if you want a quiet spot to enjoy meal. It's very easy to find (two turns off the Coronado bridge) and parking is not too bad if you're having dinner late … more
This show is kind of cool, because you actually watch people get their businesses taken to the next level (or not) by rich, successful people in a somewhat entertaining way. Working for a startup, it's … more
Last weekend I had a family BBQ that I have been planning and hosted it at Burton Chace Park in Marina del Rey. This place is GREAT for family events and is perfect for almost every occasion! I highly … more
I used to wear a lot of Sean John back in the day in high school. I was a big a fan of Puff Daddy, and loved how he took the idea of buying what the hip hop folks wore on TV for yourself. I know it sounds … more
Mendocino Farms is slowly becoming one of my favorite go-to spots for a quick bite. The one I go to is in Marina Del Rey, just a few minutes from where I went to school (LMU), though I never heard of … more
This 5K makes all other 5K's look boring, dull and surely out of touch with what it means to get up early on a Saturday morning and run 3 miles. The Merrell Down and Dirty Mud Run is a national series … more
People need to read this book, seriously. I first heard about it while watching Jon Stewart years ago during the financial crisis, and finally picked it up when I was looking for a new book to start … more
I found myself done with the gym at around 9:30 on a Friday night with no plans. My friend and I were pretty tired, and need something to eat. Places were closing, and we needed food now. Right … more
I had a pretty weak experience with the Greyhound last weekend. Sure, everybody I asked said to avoid using them - but I had to try at least once before I knew for sure that there were better ways … more
This bowling alley was probably just as normal of a bowling alley as you find anywhere else. Through a Groupon I bought, I was expecting this place to be going off when I visited - but really, it was … more
I took my dad out for his 50th birthday to Gyu Kaku last weekend. Normally, I love to eat Korean BBQ - but after hearing about Gyu Kaku and its Japanese marinades and foods, I thought to give it a try. … more
It's no secret that I love eating at buffets. Whether its your local Indian restaurant or the latest mega buffet opening up in Vegas, I'd say that buffets are one of my passions. It's something … more
On Valentine's Day, the girlfriend and I purchased a tour from GoCar (through Groupon.) We were looking for things to do in her hometown of San Diego, since we didn't want to travel much for the … more
I've lived next to Elephant Bar for over a year now, and finally went for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Costco has gift cards for the restaurant, and I had a leftover $50 that I didn't … more
When I was in college, one of my roommates had bought this set of knives from Target for everybody to use. They're mostly using for paring, but there was one main knife that you could use to cut meat … more
My commute to work can be pretty long sometimes. To make the most of time, I've got to find things to do to be productive in the car. Lately, I've been using my iPhone to listen to NPR's Morning … more
Who knows, maybe there was just a lot of hype around the Paris buffet in Las Vegas. Every time my parents went, or when my friends were there - all I hear is raves about how good the breakfast buffet … more
I love B&H! Over the last year or so, they've become part of every major electronic purchase I've made. They're seriously a sleeper. I first found/noticed them after researching a pair … more
I'm not a big fan of Bed, Bath & Beyond. Other than the cameo that it had in the movie Click, I never really see myself going in there...for anything. In a secret santa exchange last week, my … more
Last week, I had to rush all of my Christmas shopping right at the very last minute. When I say last minute, I mean hurrying after work before Costco closes so I can pick something up on the way to my … more
Last week was Larry King's final episode. I couldn't believe that the man was finally going off the air after 25 years of interviews with pretty much every important figure in entertainment and … more
I LOVE CHICKEN WINGS! They are great with so many different kinds of flavors and fit any type of eating occasion. Appetizers, bar food, pre-reception snack, late night craving, pizza's best friend, … more
So I picked this book up after Barack Obama was elected. While I'm not so much associated with either political party, I tend to give more of my attention to politicians who inspire me in different … more
Last night, I did a search in my Gmail for an email that somebody sent me regarding a sale going on for Southwest Airlines a couple of months ago. I found a very interesting pattern - and thought to share … more
I am a big fan of all you can eat buffets. It might not be good for your diet, but it's certainly great on value. Especially if you're a big eater like myself! I venture out to buffets that I've … more
In the summer, I visited Chicago on sort of a spontaneous occasion. It was my first time to the midwest on my own, and I was traveling to visit @zellysayz who was interning there. Here are some basic … more
Outstanding. On election day in 2008, instead of waiting in line to vote, I was at an AT&T store activating my new Blackberry Bold 9000 (I still voted, don't worry.) … more
Last May, I began looking at different options for gyms to go to. For a year, I was paying monthly to keep my membership at the gym at the college I graduated from. But as I began to notice, what I was … more
Today I'm changing my rating of Trey Songz from a +3 to +4 after what I've seen this guy be able to do with his music in the past two months. Originally I thought Trey Songz was destined … more
When I was out in Tampa, I ventured out with some folks to see what there was to eat. From the locals we were told that Columbia was a great place to try some authentic Spanish food. Of course, I was … more
McCormick & Schmick's happy hour is pretty decent when it comes to the kind of food you can order. If you're looking for cheap drinks, this may not be your place. Their happy hour doesn't include … more
@ariajuliet and @MelissaAq once raved about hitting up Veggie Grill to me and fellow meat lover @RyanWeiss. When they finally went, I still wasn't a believer. Not until another recent time we needed something … more
