bacon-wrapped hot dogs will always remind me of new year’s eve 1999 because my brother, cousin, aunt, and i spent new year’s eve in pasadena — camped out in the street, waiting for the rose parade to start first thing in the morning.
if my memory serves me — at around 11:45, vendors come out and sell these beauties for $1 each. we all bought four or five of them, eating two — and throwing the rest at cars driving by, followed only by cream-filled tortillas. have you ever thrown food at a car before? when you’re 12, throwing food at cars makes you feel like a total rebellious bad-ass.

a strange kind of lover, a different kind of lover,
the kind of lover you don’t want to just discover.

san francisco is such a wacky place. it’s kind of like your eclectic 3rd cousin with a couple of cats and a few of odd jobs here and there as a masseuse or a panhandler.
yeah, don’t worry about it, but i think i just compared san francisco to phoebe buffay.
caro: lombard st. in san francisco turned into giant game of candyland.

graffiti artist steve powers and a team of youth from west philadelphia are painting a series of rooftops and walls from 63rd to 45th street.
it’s called “a love letter for you” — from west philadelphia with love to west philadelphia, meant for one but with meaning for all.

in grammar school, i had to memorize the preamble to the constitution in order to pass 5th grade history. i also had to remember, in alphabetical order, all of the prepositions.
why, you ask? because my teacher was too lazy to make up her own lesson plans, that’s why. i might sound a little bitter about the 5th grade, but that’s because i am.

this web-personifier searches the web for all traces of you based on your first and last name and tells you, based on those traces, what your persona (your e-personality, if you will) is.
the internet thinks that i’m famous (clearly, very true), athletic (obviously), and exceptional at nondescript management (fair enough) — check it out here.

the only thing that could possibly make this card any better (and perhaps even bigger of an asshole) is having a picture of two thumbs up on the inside.
