America’s Smartest Cities

#2, SAN FRANCISCO-OAKLAND-SAN JOSE

Metro Area Population: 6,093,729 

Daily Beast IQ Score: 165

Like Raleigh-Durham, the Bay Area’s great universities (University of California-Berkeley) spawned a world-class technology hub, and the brains follow. On a per-capita basis, the number of people with college and graduate degrees was right at the top. The Bay Area only fell short of No. 1 because of a relatively low score in political engagement, undercutting the reputation of this notorious activist hotspot.

Top 20:

1. Raleigh - Durham
2. San Francisco - Oakland - San Jose
3. Boston
4. Minneapolis-St.Paul
5. Denver
6. Hartford-New Haven
7. Seattle-Tacoma
8. Washington, DC
9. Portland, OR
10. Baltimore
11. Philadelphia
12. Austin
13. New York
14. Salt Lake City
15. Milwaukee
16. Charlotte
17. Kansas City
18. Columbus
19. Nashville
20. San Diego

For some reason, it doesn’t surprise me at all that Fresno is all the way at the bottom of the list.

Always for you.

Ever since I saw this music video 3 years ago, it has always made me smile every time I watched it. And I’m pleased that it still makes me think of you.

So Erika gave me a care package yesterday that she was supposed to mail me in New York, but didn’t get around to. It has some of the most random stuff I’ve ever received:

• An incredibly cute owl cover for my phone.
• Cute glitter robot stickers.
• An amazing photo album with old cameras on it.
• Shampoo and Conditioner
• Styling spray
• Moisturizer
• Lube (x2)
• Condom
• A flyer for Twink 4 Twink: Where the good boys come to play, 100% free gay personals, web cam chats, dating, networking & more

haha Thanks Erika. I am not gay, nor am I a twink, but I’ll think about that one.

wtf?

The Youtube video description is the best though: “…These 5 black males show off there having sex capabilities by humping a chair to the beat of the music…Endless amounts of sexual romance being displayed throughout this rare footage”

I laughed so hard. How could I not reblog something titled “5 Black Males Repetitively Hump a Chair/Wall/Floor/Mirror/Air”

Last night was fun. Lots of big props to Michael Perry, Andrew Cornett, and Mike Taylor for all their very very hard work.
