I’m a huge Netflix fan! In the rare moments that I’m actually home, I fire-up Netflix and get things done while it plays in the background. I hate lounging. I’m not the type of person who can sit-around watching a show — I’m a Capricorn, for God’s sake. Capricorns are known for their workaholic tendencies. So having Netflix allows me to feel fulfilled in the work arena. It also keeps my mind going — and on occasion it also prevents me from venturing too far into Self Pityland (it helps with breakup recovery!).

My latest Netflix adventure is How I Met Your Mother from the NBC network. Because its main character is wife-hunting, it’s chock-full of lighthearted dating jokes, advice, lessons and more. And even though I’m multi-tasking while watching, I still catch a lot of festive dating truths. Some of those truths comes from one of the most ridiculous versions of the male dating dog — Barney Stinson — played by the very talented Neil Patrick Harris. His ridiculous antics on the show are a culmination of every wickedly dickheaded douche (male or female!) whom you may have dated (or married!). And his character, Barney Stinson, has a blog. That’s right. You read me.

Because the entire series is available, you’re able to absorb endless character traits and history that are carried throughout each episode. So when a detail like Barney’s blog is mentioned, you can’t help but chuckle, because you feel like you’re part of the gang… in on the joke… a member of the family.

Today I decided to Google Barney’s blog, hoping the network actually took that extra step to flesh-out such a great show. They did! Meet:
Barney Stinson Blog
The blog is legen-wait for it-dary! Enjoy!!

And Happy New Year, folks! Thanks for following!

So I walked out of work last night and into light rain. At first I was thinking, “Okay no big deal that my umbrella was still upstairs in the office because Im on my way to the subway, and that’s only a block away. I then hit block after block of BLOCKADES, thanks to what looked like the NYPD. But no one really knows since no information was shared. So the group of now-irate commuters walked for blocks like prodded cows, the blockade guards stood silent, allowing people to get pissed-off because we had 1.) No idea why the blockades were up 2.) No idea how to get around the blockades to get HOME 3.) No detour information. Im at a loss for how some folks can force others into ignorance and NOT expect a riot? Common sense here, people. Hello. I was trying to not feel sorry for myself, even considering yesterday was a horrendous day. So there I was, getting rained-on and detoured, and thinking that people are so negative about the rain. I’d get soaked even if I had the umbrella. So would it be worth hearing – all day, “It’s going to rain! It’s going to rain!” Or not knowing at all and walking into the monsoon? Either way, something’s raining on my parade. Lol
