Musings and Elucidations

NickSilly’s blog.

Why every business needs a smart phone app. One word: Notifications.

Everybody has a smart phone now and if you're lucky enough to get them to download your app they'll probably allow it to send them notifications. This is a gigantic opportunity for your business. 

The best example of smart notifications I get right now is when I'm in the vicinity of a car rental place and Avis notifies me of that fact. 

Now that I brainstorm it I wonder if the Google maps app has ever thought about selling "notification space". If I were a business with a physical location where I wanted people to visit I'd definitely buy this if Google was selling it. 

Okay, well I guess I gotta go to work for Google for a minute to launch our new Notifications program. If you have a business and you're interested contact me for a quote. 

Swiss vs "baby" Swiss

So here's the deal with Swiss cheese. Regular Swiss is ALWAYS better than "baby" Swiss. Why? Because even though regular Swiss is "holier" (i.e. bigger holes) it has a better taste and the extra holes aren't going to cost more because a hole weighs zero. Plus when you put a piece of holier Swiss on a sandwich or whatever, you're consuming LESS cheese, which in the grand scheme of things is not a bad thing. 

On a completely unrelated note, I could really use more sex. Sorry, I'm just putting that out in the world because if I don't I may not ever have sex again. And that doesn't sound like any fun at all. 😬

When I played shortstop..

When I played shortstop the opposing team tried to take me out at 2nd a hundred times. EVERY SINGLE TIME I did two things. I turned the double play. And I ran off the field. Rougned Odor did neither. But somehow he's a hero. Gimme a fucking break. If you wanna see someone land a REAL punch go watch early Mike Tyson fights. I'd like to see how Rougned would fare against him. 

"And there's the opening bell. Rougned Odor is a heavy under.. DOWN GOES ODOR!!" 

Cool green shirt talks about why he's hanging outside the closet.

Hey, how's it going? Me? I'm good. Just hangin here. You might be wondering why I'm hanging outside the closet and not in it. Well, it's not because I've finally "come outta the closet" or anything like that. Lol. I mean I got nothing against other shirts that are swing that way, it's just not my thing, man. 

No, I'm out here because this isn't a "shirt" closet behind me. Hell, I don't even know exactly what's in there (it's not like I can open it) but I know it's not shirts. There's another closet where my owner Nick hangs his shirts. That's actually where I am most of the time. 

What it boils down to is laziness on Nick's part. He came home the other night slightly buzzed and saw the hanger on the door and didn't feel like putting me officially away yet. 

It's cool, though. I do alright by myself and I've been catching up with the dirty clothes hamper crowd. They're like "when's he gonna wash us?" And I'm like "your guess is as good as mine, y'all."

Anyway, that's why I'm hanging here. Cool green shirt out. Peace.

On riding an empty bus

Bus is just the way I like it on the way back to home base from downtown. This post is mostly just to see how it comes out in the blog with a pic attached. Have a GREAT week!

On seeing a TV commercial for an app you maintain and the sweet ladies of Sweetwater, TX

While watching the Texas Country Reporter yesterday I saw a commercial for a program that I maintain the code for. That's cool. Almost even makes you want to make sure the code works. Lol. It's working as well as it has any year they've done this promotion. I can't go into details about it because I work BTS (behind the scenes) for this company. Haha. I do programming work BTS for a lot of companies. It's better that way since I'm kind of a nut. Companies prob would be a little wary of letting me work on their shit if they knew it was me. 

Anyway, while watching the show I saw a sweet story on some ladies in Sweetwater, TX that make beds for homeless people using plastic bags from the supermarket. The beds are soft and waterproof. Pretty ingenious. I love hearing about good works like that. God bless those old broads. 😬👍🙌🙏

On being a Facebook "reader", not a "writer"

So recently I've been more of a reader of Facebook than a contributor because I like balance in my life but in so doing I've found that while it's interesting to keep up with what people are up to there's a lack of insane and/or inane posts for my liking. 

To that end, I've decided to start being more of a contributor than a reader for the foreseeable future. 

Here's the fun part, though. The fun part is that when I get these cockamamie ideas at 3:30 in the morning there's no telling whether or not I'll actually follow through with them. 

So if you're a person in the "oh God, Nick is going to flood my timeline with bs" camp I apologize and feel free to unfollow or unfriend me but if you're a person in the "sweet, insane Nick is back!" camp you're welcome. 

Thanks for reading and have a great 23rd week of 2016 or whatever it is but I'm pretty sure it's around that number. 

My idea to fix all the bad shit

It seems that most (if not all) the bad shit that happens in the world is committed by people under the age of 50. So let's just wait a few weeks until I'm over 50 and then eliminate all those people. lol. So sorry if you're not around but it was for the good of all mankind. 

Remember that methed out hot girl?

Remember that hot girl who was wandering around kinda walk of shaming it but also methed out so I brought her home to Marie and MB was like "who's this girl?" and I was like "idk but she's kinda hot and apparently in trouble" and Marie was like "get this girl out of our house!" and I was like "but she's kinda hot". Lol. 

That didn't end well for anyone. 😂😂😂
