drugs can be really expensive

a little trip into the santa cruz mountains cost the county ten grand and the young man his car privileges. READ HERE

jogging notes

while stretching today on the corner of grant and california a tourist approached me. I was wearing shorts, running shoes, and one of those technologically advanced breathable shirts. He asked if i had a lighter.

the problem with the youth

an old man, one of the founders of the blackstone group (quite rich investment people), related this joke on charlie rose (who may be my favorite person on television).

did you hear about the teacher who asked his students: "what is the problem with young people nowadays? are they ignorant or apathetic?" a young man raised his hand and answered. "i don't know and i don't care."

judgment call

how often do you wash your jeans? does it depend on how much they cost? dry cleaning?

i have a popular pair of very expensive jeans that the salesperson told me to never wash.

my girlfriend has a pair of jeans that she hasn't washed in 3 years.

felicia thinks that not washing your jeans is gross.

i don't think she is a jean person, but more of a heels and skirt person. her judgment, therefore, holds less weight.

overheard

white guy to white guy:
"i can't wait until i get my ice pick. bedspring nigga!"

running questions

why don't people look back when i run up behind them on a quiet residential street? it seems like the street smart course of action.

why don't people move to the side when they do look back, notice me, and can see that there is no room on the sidewalk for me to pass?
