New face and an old story
Well, I spent the weekend redesigning the website. I seen Paul's blog and I really liked the color scheme, and I got jealous. I always wanted a black website.
In fact, the original design was entirely dictated by the old logo. I thought of the name 'manshorts', where all the best ideas come from, in the bathroom. The name was something so odd, that I made myself laugh. It was a short name that really stuck with me.
A few hours later, the domain name was mine.
I originally wanted the logo to be a picture of either me or some man in his boxers with a spider web representing the 'net'. But, after some debate, I decided I didn't want a half naked man looking at me, mocking me with his sculpted physique. On the other hand, I did NOT want to see my pudgy, hot dog and cheeseburger, super-size fry gut all the time, either.
So, I decided that I would use a pictogram style logo. Something using images to convey the name. The (semi)famous blue polka-dot boxers that caused the whole color cahsnafle (Yeah, I just made up a word) in the first place. The white dots in the boxers made every thing but white, look terrible. So, the white page was born. And it stuck for a little over a year.
But, things change, websites change. People change and grow, I think I've matured quite a bit over the last year, as a blogger, as a person, as a husband, as a friend. I've matured, I think, in a way that I've become more of an adult, yet remaining a giant dumb-ass. I think I'm the most responsible person I know. But at the same time, I have no problem watching cartoon and buying toys.
And when I say toys, I mean action figure toys. Not like adult toys, like cars and tools and shit, I mean Transformers.
Upgrade
I just upgraded to Movable Type v3 and was just checking to see if every thing works fine...

GMail Invites Strike Back!
Hey, I know there's still some of you without a GMail account, and I know you want one right? Of course you do!
My buddy Paul Shaqz has a few invites he's willing to give out. Just go to to his blog, 'Strange weird, but true'. He's got all the deets up there.
Hurry, they won't last long. My last batch of invites went within two hours.
