Just spent the last 4 hours playing with my iPhone and I must confess, this is the coolest thing I’ve ever owned.
Ten paradoxical traits of the creative personality →
kareem:
“When we’re creative, we feel we are living more fully than during the rest of life. The excitement of the artist at the easel or the scientist in the lab comes dose to the ideal fulfillment we all hope to get from life, and so rarely do. Perhaps only sex, sports, music, and religious ecstasy—even when these experiences remain fleeting and leave no trace—provide a profound sense of being...
Kicking it on a Tuesday...
bpak:
What a fun day yesterday. I met up with my boy J-Dub for a sandwich at lunch time with no other intentions or aspirations, but it turned out to be the lead into a great night of drinks, jokes, people, and bars. The funny thing is that this is totally normal with us. It seems that every time we hang out, with our boys, or with randoms, it becomes a fun energy filled event full of loud table...
BROOKE IN SAN LUIS.
If B-Pak has a tumblr, you need one too. The text you wrote for Pete’s 30th Birthday party was super clever and funny, and of all the peeps I know, I think you would have a really cool, quirky, tumblr. So I’m calling you out publicly. Get a Tubmlr soon. I’ll be your first follower…

Everybody check it out.
What All Chinese Fortune Cookies Should Say.
You are about to take a dump in 10 minutes.
—- I saw this on College Humor and laughed for like 3 minutes without stopping. I thought at 29 this kind of shit wouldn’t be funny anymore…
Cougar Town USA
Today is another coffee shop office day. Of course I’m using it to do half work and half anthropology on the Walnut Creek folk. After sitting here for 30 mins, I am totally re-convinced, as everybody always says, that WC should be renamed Coungar-Town USA. I have never seen a town with hotter moms walking around. The 30-40 year olf milf scene here is out of control. It’s full Desperate...

Is Shot Put A Sport??
For real. The dudes are all fatty’s, harldy athletes, and they just do one thing, which is neanderthal a cannon ball as far as possible. Seems like a hoplessly anachronistic holdover from some primitive way to pass time.
Overheard at Redding, Ca McDonalds 5 minutes ago
Two hundred pound woman in cut offs and Nike T-Shirt, into cell phone: Yeah...I've been doing the JC part time...for a long time.....when I graduate in 3 years I want to be a probation officer.
Her deadpanning 8 year old son with a fro-hawk: Unless you're on probabtion, then there might be a problem..
Oregon Trip..part 1
Driving by yourself to Oregon is a great adventure. I made it in one piece except for one wrong turn which put me an hour off track. I had to make up time by taking a little country lane down into a green valley between two mountain ranges, which was actually a very pretty drive. So pretty in fact, that I thought I had passed into Narnia for just a second with all the little cricks and cottages...
What I Learned about Persuasion while Buying a Rug... →
I love these sales stories. They remind me of my old Southwestern bookselling days back in Wisconsin and Minnesota. We sold those Betty’s so many damn books with little more than a smirk and a smile. Looking back, what a great adventure it was. Everybody should sell books door to door for one summer.

Paris Hilton Goes Political from Funny Or Die →
I never thought that much about Paris, or when I did, pretty much assumed she was a total dumbass. But this video is remarkeably self aware, I think, because she plays on the idea that she’s an ignorant retard. But she speaks too well for it to be totally true. So faced with the propositions that she either IS that stupid or ISN’T, I cannot help but think that it’s more likley...
The conundrum
Of course the coffee shop workday raises all sorts of ethical questions about loitering laws and expectation of consumption. I think 2 coffee’s and one menu item, is sufficient to pay for my rent. Plus, theres a weirdo in the corner who’s been here longer than me, so he’ll get the boot first. Then I’ll be the weirdo in the corner.
Hipsters In The Mist
The internet is down at our Walnut Crek Office so I am back in the coffee shop office like I used to do in Berlin and Buenos Aires. Sitting here, as I watch people come in and out, eat their sando, or sip their coffee, and then leve; I am realizing that the coffee shop work day is not only a fascinating exercise in anthropology, but also a great way to relax. I may choose to work here one day a...
