A quote written on a bathroom wall:
“Don’t be humble, you’re not that great”.
Laughed out loud in the public cubicle.

If you take a close look at milk on cereal boxes, it looks like soft flowing cream. The carefully placed cereal on the spoon (most cereal boxes carry its image on a spoon) looks crunchy and fresh, not soggy like it would be if taking hundreds of pictures. Why?

I don’t understand what a photon belt is, but I hear that that it will “envelope the Earth in 2012 leading to a massive failure of electrical equipment with 2-3 days of total darkness or total daylight, and/or initiate some kind of spiritual transition”. (wiki)

He lives in a room of an old lady’s house for 600 dollars a month. She lives there with him. It’s been 2 months.

A friend of mine, every morning, recites the dream she had that night to her husband.
Her husband, every morning, grunts with half-opened eyes and tells her to leave him alone.

She tells him what she dreamt that night, and her remorseful husband turns her way and listens intently.

I would hate to be a taxi driver. I tend to get lost easily, I don’t like being rushed, and am terrible at driving. If I absolutely had to be a taxi driver, I’d put spinners on my wheels. I think that would make my days easier.
P.S. My band 28People is performing tonight at Beale […]

My friend Brent has just launched an organization called Carrot Mob.
