Zipcar and BosGuy

Posted on September 9, 2011 | 2 comments

This summer I participated in a program from Zipcar called the “low car diet”. The program Zipcar hosts in cities through out the United States and Canada encourages individuals to forsake their cars and seek alternative means of transportation for an entire month. I wrote about the program here, here, here and here.

Now they are having a contest of sorts and I’d appreciate it if you’d show your support for Boston (and me) by clicking on the link below and then selecting the “Like” icon under the video with me.

US Open: Fernando Verdasco

Posted on September 9, 2011 | Leave a comment

The US Open started last week, and I can’t believe the tournament is nearly over. To celebrate the Open I’ve been posting a handsome male tennis player each day there is play.

Today, I’m featuring Spanish tennis player, Fernando Verdasco, a former Top 10 player and a force to be reckoned with especially on clay.

Verdasco made it to the third round of the US Open where he lost to Jo Wilfred Tsonga – a tough competitor from France who is still in the tournament. As you can see Fernando has a killer smile to match his abs. He’s yet another tennis player I wish they would let play without a shirt. I’m fairly certain the ratings would go through the roof.

Want to send your friends a “Schweddy Greeting Card” via Facebook – B&J’s makes it easy to do, simply link to their facebook page dedicated to the new ice cream here.

According to the website this flavor is Fair Trade vanilla ice cream with a hint of rum and loaded with fudge covered rum and milk chocolate malt balls. Damn that sounds good doesn’t it?

US Open: David Nalbandian

Posted on September 8, 2011 | 1 comment

The US Open started last week, and despite the rain, the tournament continues (albeit in fits and starts). To celebrate the Open I’ve been posting a handsome male tennis player each day there is play.

Today, I’m featuring Argentinian tennis player, David Nalbandian, a player who just a few years ago was ranked as high as 3 in the world, but in recent years has seen his ranking drop and is currently 76 in the world.

This year David made it to the third round of the US Open where he lost to Raphael Nadal – last year’s US Open Champion. Nalbandian is now 29 and doesn’t have the same game he did a few years ago, but he’s still an excellent competitor who has a career to be proud of for certain. If you’d like to find out more about this handsome tennis player from Cordoba, Argentina link here.

Back on the Acela today to head to NYC for a quick day of meetings tomorrow. I’m hoping that the rain which has been falling since the conclusion of the holiday weekend on Tuesday will finally relent.

Have a happy and safe Thursday.

BosGuy on Twitter

Posted on September 8, 2011 | Leave a comment

I’m terribly flattered that people come to my blog and read and even occasionally leave comments. As you can deduce from my weekly #MenOfTwitter postings each Monday, I’m also a bit addicted to Twitter.

The interactive and quick nature of Twitter has allowed me to chat real-time with people who read my blog and I have to say so far its always been a very gratifying experience.

If you too are on Twitter, say hello and follow me. My handle is twitter.com/BosGuy.

US Open: David Ferrer

Posted on September 7, 2011 | 3 comments

The US Open started last week, and I’m posting a handsome male tennis player each day there is play.

Today, I’m featuring Spanish tennis player, David Ferrer, who is currently playing yesterday’s “Tennis Tease”, Andy Roddick.  David is currently ranked 5 in the world and has a game to back up that ranking.

Although Ferrer is definitely more at home on clay courts (lets be frank all the Spaniards are), David’s game is so strong you cannot count him out. However, whoever wins today’s match will have a short lived victory as I fully expect Raphael Nadal to pull through and meet that player in the quarter finals.

Boston Ballet Season 2011-2012

Posted on September 7, 2011 | 3 comments

Last week I wrote about how many fantastic local theater companies there are in Boston in my post, 2011-12 season for local Boston theater companies. This week I wanted to encourage people to consider visiting and supporting the Boston Ballet. Many may not realize this but the Boston Ballet is considered one of the major ballet companies in North America and among the top companies in the world.

Ballet can sometimes be a tough sell for people unfamiliar with it, but it is an amazing dance form that beautifully blends athleticism and art. The Boston Ballet’s 2011-2012 season starts in just a few weeks with Romeo & Juliet (Nov. 3-13), followed by The Nutcracker (Nov. 25 – Dec 31).

To see their full season or to purchase tickets visit their website www.bostonballet.org.

Chris Nogiec underwear shoot

Posted on September 7, 2011 | 2 comments

Chris Nogiec lives in Boston and is currently pursuing a doctorate from Boston University in computational metabolism so he’s got looks and smarts. Although we don’t know each other, I featured him as a #MenOfTwitter back in April and we have a friend in common who speaks very highly of Chris.

Below is a behind the scenes video with Troy Phillips & Akimitsu Sadoi. While this 3-minute video pf Chris isn’t exactly unsafe for work, I think its too racy to play in the office; mind you Chris is modeling some very sexy underwear so use your judgement, but certainly enjoy the clip.

You can learn more about this handsome Bostonian on his website, here.

Boston bike program: Hubway is a success

Posted on September 6, 2011 | 2 comments

More than 2,300 subscribers have joined Boston’s bike sharing program called The Hubway combining for 36,600+ station-to-station trips in its first month according to an article in the Sunday Boston Globe.

Analysts say that within 3 months, the system could see 100,000+ station-to-station trips making it one of the most successful bike sharing programs in the country. By contrast similar programs of similar size in Denver and Minneapolis took 7.5 and 6 months respectively to reach the 100,000 trips milestone.

I will admit that its hard for me to go anywhere without seeing a number of people on these bicycles in the downtown neighborhoods. I hope that its popularity continues to grow, because I think its a fantastic concept. If they open a few more bike stations near my apartment I may opt to get rid of my aging bike and join the Hubway as well.

If you find yourself coming to Boston for a visit or a day trip, you may want to consider leveraging the Hubway as a less stressful and certainly more economical choice for getting around. With daily rates for $5 and 3-day memberships for $12 you are hard pressed to find a cheaper / better alternative.

US Open: Andy Roddick

Posted on September 6, 2011 | 1 comment

The US Open started last week, and I’m posting a handsome male tennis player each day there is play.

Today, I’m featuring American tennis player, Andy Roddick, who will be playing David Ferrer later today. Roddick is a former Top 10 player and won the US Open back in 2003. However, he’s 29 now and his game has slipped in recent years. Despite that fact, I can’t help but pull for Andy and hope he can beat Ferrer (the second highest ranked Spaniard). You can cheer on Andy tonight 7PM ET on ESPN2.

Summer is over: back to the grind

Posted on September 6, 2011 | 2 comments

With the passing of the Labor Day weekend, summer officially ends here in New England. Although weather will likely remain beautiful through September, fewer people will be taking time off and vacation will be mostly referred to in the past tense. The academic calendar begins anew and here in Boston the student presence is difficult to miss.

This summer I made several trips to Provincetown and enjoyed a quick trip with a friend to New York City as well as spending an overnight at my parents lake house up in NH for a family party. I’ve been very lucky. I hope this was a wonderful and relaxing summer for you as well.

US Open: Grigor Dimitrov

Posted on September 5, 2011 | 1 comment

The US Open started this week, and I’m posting a handsome male tennis player each day there is play.

Today, I’m featuring a Bulgarian player named Grigor Dimitrov. Currently ranked 57, Grigor lost in the first round to the extremely physical Frenchman, Gael Monfils. However, he’s still quite young at only 20 years of age and he has time to improve his game. Time will tell if he can, but in the interim, I enjoy watching this young man play.

What do you think about Grigor? If you’d like to find out more about him, you can link here. If you’d like to find out more about this year’s US Open you can visit the tournament’s official website,www.usopen.org.

Each Monday I post #MenOfTwitter profiles of men who catch my eye and whom I think you may enjoy following. As always, suggestions for profiles to feature are welcome.   If you’d like to follow me on twitter, you can find me @BosGuy. Below are this week’s #MenOfTwitter. Leave them a nice comment and start following these guys.

I’ll remember him because he’s so damn sexy.He claims he also gives “the best ball wax ever”… the very thought horrifies me so I’m going to take him at his word. Look for his first book to be released later this year “Beauty Manual / Autobiography” A story of boy in a women’s world (the beauty business). Can’t get enough of this handsome guy from down under? In addition to stalking following him on Twitter you can check out his blog, www.willfennell.com.au#GroomingGuru

stekallee – Ste was born in Belgium, raised in Germany, but now calls the UK home and lives in Liverpool with his fiance, Paul. This guy has a heart of gold. Following in the footsteps of his mother, he works in autism care. Later next month he’ll be getting married (the precise term is registering as a civil partner – what a mouthful) and honeymooning with the love of his life, Paul who you can also follow on twitter @cheeky2xist. #HeartOfGoldIvanPutra – This 20-something born in Indonesia and raised in Houston, Texas is more than a handsome face.He’s currently in college studying Business and Marketing and a freelance model. He’ll be strutting his stuff for Danny Nguyen Couture in Houston later this month. If you are a modeling scout in Texas give Ivan a second look. #HandsomeTexan

US Open: Arnaud Clement

Posted on September 4, 2011 | 4 comments

The US Open started on Monday in New York City, and I’m posting a handsome male tennis player each day there is play.

Today, I’m featuring French player Arnaud Clement, a former top 10 player. Arnaud is one of the older players on the tour now that he’s in his early 30s and in recent years he’s had more success playing doubles although he and Lukas Dlouhy unfortunately lost in the Open’s first round this year.

Standing at just 5’8″, most players tower over this Frenchman. Despite his lack of stature, I think Arnaud looks like a handsome rogue and I love listening to him shouting in French… Even I can read lips that say “merde“. Considering how many people who read this blog like facial hair, I know Arnaud will be a popular choice.

If you’d like to find out more about this Frenchman you can link here. If you’d like to find out more about this year’s US Open you can visit the tournament’s official website, www.usopen.org.
