• Accidentally close a tab? Ctrl+Shift+T reopens it.
• Bananas release dopamine, eat them when you’re sad.
• CTRL+SHIFT+ESC is the one handed version of CTRL+ALT+DEL
• Don’t brush your teeth hard, it makes them sensitive and removes enamel.
• Don’t like spiders? Put citronella oil on your walls and they will not go there.
• Drink one glass of water for every alcoholic drink you have, you’ll get drunk without getting a hangover.
• Get clear ice cubes by boiling water before freezing it
• Heal paper cuts and immediately stop the pain with chapstick.
• If you accidentally write on your dry erase board with a permanent marker, scribble over it with a dry eraser marker to remove it.
• If your shoes smell, put them in the freezer overnight, it will kill the bacteria.
• Make bug bites stop itching with a banana peel.
• Make a paper longer with 12-point text, but 14-point periods and commas.
• Need to get around a blocked website at work? Try replacing the http:// with https://
• Never send your resume as a word file (unless asked) Instead, print it to a pdf file, it’s much cleaner and professional looking.
• Pick a flavor of gum you don’t normally chew, and chew it while studying during a test.
• Place a piece of bread in a container with your homemade cookies and they will stay soft.
• Put a dry towel into a dryer with wet clothes, they will dry faster.
• Put toothpaste on a pimple and it will dry out.
• Practise fake smiling in the mirror every day before going to work/school, you’ll genuinely start to feel happier.
• Rub canola/olive oil on knives before cutting onions, you won’t cry, alternatively chew gum and you won’t either.
• Short on time with a wrinkled dress shirt? Hang it up in the bathroom to steam it flat.
• The night before, place things you don’t want to forget the next morning on top of your shoes.
• Use hydrogen peroxide to remove blood stains from clothing.
• When cleaning windows use newspapers or coffee filters instead of paper towels, they will not leave streaks.
• When microwaving bread products/pizza put a glass of water in with it, it will keep your bread for going spongy.
• When you move into a new place you’re renting, take pictures of any and all damage, then post them on facebook (privately if preferred) so you can use the reference date as proof you didn’t do it.
• When searching plane tickets online delete your cookies prior, prices go up when you visit a site multiple times.

So proud of McKayla, Jordyn, Aly, Gabby, and Kyla. It is such an amazing accomplishment to have achieved the gold medal in the Team Final, especially since the US hasn’t won the gold in this final since 1996 when it was the Magnificent Seven (Shannon Miller, Dominique Moceanu Dominique Dawes, Kerri Strug, Amy Chow, Amanda Borden and Jaycie Phelps) that won the Gold.

Can’t wait for AA finals and Event finals

Congrats USA Women's Gymnastics

Sun, 29 Jul 2012 11:13:00 -0400

Just a for warning there is some ranting involved in this post

Congrats to the women’s team for doing so well in their qualification round, moving on to the team finals definitely, and having Aly and Gabby going on to the AA final, so proud of them…the fact that there is a 2 per country rule is complete bullshit, if you are in the top should it really matter where you are from since AA is not part of the team finals it is an individual event so it shouldn’t matter if you are from the same country as other people in the final. This rule is completely insane. I feel so bad for Jo no chance to defend her title, and she came in 3rd. ARG!!! this frustrates me.

Anyway congrats Team USA to making it to Team Finals in first place to:

Aly Raisman: making it to AA, Beam and Floor Finals
Gabby Douglas: making it to AA, Bar and Beam Finals
Jordyn Wieber: making it to Floor Final and for coming in fourth in AA (unfortunately unable to compete)
McKayla Maroney: making it to vault finals with such an explosive amanar

Team USA Gymnastics, what a day

Sat, 28 Jul 2012 23:16:52 -0400

Congrats to the mens team for do such a great job in the qualification, and not only end up being first in their subdivision but also heading in to the team finals in first place. Quite an impressive start for USA Gymnastics. Also congrats to:

Danell Leyva: making it to the All Around and High Bar Finals
John Orozco: making it to the All Around Final
Jonathan Horton: making it to High Bar Final (trying for the gold a second time)
Jake Dalton: making it to the Floor Final
Sam Mikulak: making it to the Vault Final with a beautiful vault

Hopefully the women do just as well tomorrow!! Go Team USA

On an unrelated side note just saying our men’s gymnastics team is the hottest men’s gymnastics team and the hottest team that I have seen so far this Olympics, followed by USA swimming with Lochte and Phelps.

New Book

Wed, 27 Jun 2012 15:00:00 -0400

So I am reading a really good book. Not only do I rarely read book, when I do, I don’t find many of the interesting.

Shawn Johnson has been a role model, she may be the same age as me, but she is someone that most gymnasts should/do look up to. She has become even more of an inspiration since I began reading this book. Its nice to get her life story from her point of view, it is like I am inside her head. While reading her book I have found so many good quotes and quotes to live by. I haven’t finished yet but it won’t be long ‘til I do.
