chemist ninja mixes it up

i had two roomates back for most of my time at cal. so when i posted the broken ninja shirt for one of them, the other one got all buttsore about not getting his own angry ninja t shirt.

little did he know, i had been working on a design for him all along. i mean seriously, i dont play favorites - i hated both of them equally. jk. they know i have nothing but love for both of them. hmm, i wonder why they never return my phone calls?

in any case, i present to you - chemist ninja - mixes it up.

side note on the zazzle store. some of you may not know this, but i leave all of my shirts fully customizable on the store. this means that you can take one of my designs, put it on a mens/womens/kids shirt dark or light, and change all of the text. you can even choose the shirt material, 100% cotton, vintage shirt, heavy duty, etc. the shirts that i have predesigned on the webstore are just a simple guide to what the shirts could look like.

someone is up to his old tricks again…

i used to have this roomate back at cal. he would get injured all the time, to the point where i thought he was either really clumsy or doing it on purpose. little did i know, it might have been a little bit of both.

you see, when you get hurt, the student health center gives you crutches, and heres a little secret guys - ladies dig the crutches. i mean, i dont know if its their maternal instincts kicking in, but the first thing they say when seeing him would be:

aww. how did you hurt yourself?

to which he would respond with one of the follwoing:

a) running across the street to save a puppy
b) wrestling a bear
c) my jerk roomate mike (points to me) hit me with a baseball bat

in reality, he probably hurt himself doing something stupid like knocking over a light into his own head at a party or stumbling off the front porch.

anyways, it looks like hes up to his old tricks again, as once again, hes injured. broken ninja - gets the ladies. he better not try to pull anything because his girlfriend would probably kill him. shes fierce.

congrats to all the glow scholars

as many of you know (more on that later), i mentor two students, jonathon and miriam, at the glow foundation, a nfp that provides financial education and makes college education a reality for underserved youth.

it has been a great experience  getting to know the students. many of them come from incredibly challenging backgrounds, and yet there they are, willing to learn and take on the challenges of applying for school and finding the financial aid necessary for making their dreams of a college education a reality.

tuesday was the “graduation” banquet, where we handed out scholarships and awards. it was a great moment, seeing so many of their college dreams come true.

congrats to all the 2008 glow scholars

i also had the following conversation with adam, one of the foundations co-founders. keep in mind, i had only met him on one previous occasion.

adam: hey, i might be totally wrong here, but youre angry ninja arent you?
me: (totally surprised) yeah.
adam: dude. youre site is totally awesome. im a google analytics freak and you drive a lot of traffic to the glow site.
me: really?
adam: yeah. its google, yahoo, facebook, and then you.

so yeah, apparently many of you know that i am affiliated in some way to the glow foundation and are clicking on the links. thank you for your interest. hopefully some of you are donating to the cause. also, we are always looking for more volunteers, so let me know if you are interested.

also, apparently i look like the kind of person that runs a site like www.angryninja.com. after all, i had only met adam once.

alternatively, you can pick up some angry ninja t shirts, as all sales go straight to their cause.

hamsters & reader request #3

while i was in school, being the independent and rebellious person i am, i got hamsters with a few of my friends. the hamster was definitely a step up from the fish that my parents kept at home. i could actually pet a hamster. trying to pet a fish usually ends badly. the hamsters were really cute too.

mine (the brown one) was named naruto. the white one was named sauske. yes, just like the anime characters. anyways, just like their animated counterparts, naruto and sauske became enemies and had to be separated. this is because sauske became aggressive and starting biting everyone. i know. what a punk.

recently, my friend wanted me to make a design inspired by our hamsters. the result? hamtar: dont boite. pick it up at the zazzle webstore. the design is based off of naruto, as he was obviously the more awesome of the two.

as always, all proceeds go toward the glow foundation.
