THINGS I LEARNED AT
A TIME MANAGEMENT SEMINAR TODAY
1. If you manage your
time wisely, you will have your weekends free to go to movies,
see shows, buy those things you've wanted to get whatever they
may happen to be, and go to time management seminars
2. If you are attending
a trade show and someone invites you out to the parking lot to
see a new computer, don't go, or you will end up being kidnapped
and will have to make your way back to the hotel by sound
3. You can make routine
tasks more exciting by doing them in a "creative" way,
such as standing up, turning your chair around, or writing in
red ink instead of blue ink
4. You can live in Los
Angeles most of your life and still have no idea how to pronounce
Spanish names
5. Even though this is
the year 2003, some people think that e-mail, an internet service
provider, a web browser and a search engine are the same thing
WHAT MY VAGUELY FOREIGN
NEIGHBORS ARE DOING IN THE ALLEYWAY RIGHT NOW
1. Standing around a conversion
van drinking tall-boys
2. Singing loudly in their
indeterminate foreign language
3. Whistling
4. Shooting off crappy
fireworks they bought at the grocery store
5. Splashing around in
a kiddie pool even though it is 11PM
QUOTES OF THE DAY I
HAVE NEVER BEEN BRAVE ENOUGH TO USE
1. "Neither the smile
of a woman nor coins in the purse can give a man confidence like
a hot, healthy crap." (Ben Jonson)
2. "To be perfectly
honest, I can't stand the Jews myself." (Elie Wiesel)
3. "Governments rise
and fall; endless words, of which to our good fortune, there
is a constantly replenishing supply, are wasted on their defense
or in aid of their downfall; passions are inflamed and friendships
shattered. To what end? Only in this: that...I'm sorry, what
was I talking about? I am so baked." (Alfred North Whitehead)
4. "A walnut is the
sermon of the nut world: it lifts the spirits and feeds the soul.
Hey, look, I fucking like walnuts, all right? Does every fucking
thing I say have to be profound? Screw you guys."
(Samuel Johnson)
5. "Let slanders
not yet born besmirch my bed; I know that Aphra Behn gives killer
head." (William Shakespeare)
WHAT RAPPERS WOULD
HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY IF THEY'D HAVE KNOWN THEY WERE GOING TO
DIE SO YOUNG
1. 2Pac: gotten butterfly
tattoo on ankle instead of "THUG LIFE" across stomach
2. Buff the Human Beat
Box: chosen less cardiovascularly strenous hobby than beatboxing
3. Notorious B.I.G.: assessed
relative size, personality, temperament, cohorts of Puffy Combs
and Suge Knight; reconsidered personal management decision
4. Big Punisher: not taken
diet tips from Buff the Human Beatbox
5. Too Poetic: thought
twice about begging the rest of the guys to finish Nightmare
in A-Minor no matter what happened
THE NEXT BIG THINGS
IN BRITISH CUISINE
1. Chocolate-shaving cigarettes
rolled in potato meal wrapping paper
2. Artificial peas
3. Buttle-up-the-junction
4. Mad scrod disease
5. Deep-fried greasy newspapers
