deriving meaning from quotes

how about this one -- "Never write if you can speak. Never speak if you can nod. And never nod if you can wink."

here's my version, adapted for the 21st century -- "Never email if you can talk. Never talk if you can smile. Never smile if you can hug."

or how about -- "Never email if you can chat. Never chat if you can talk. Never talk if you can smile."

whoa, i managed to make my two similarly meaningless (or not?). i'll leave it up to you

what does it mean to you? all that i can think about is how i prefer talking on my cellphone to texting. as in, id rather that you just call me instead of text. ya know what i mean? not that there's anything wrong with either one.

another thing it means to me -- never email or chat online or talk on the phone if you can talk to someone in person. it's that simple. hmm.

did i already post this album cover? i'm diggin it...

the death race

terrific nytimes article and video. you should definitely watch the video first. or not. but just make sure you watch the video cause it's pretty good.

the death race is a ridiculous "race" set up in vermont where only a small percentage of people actually finish. there's a lot of barbed wire and problems and stuff. really entertaining.

i dont think i could ever do something like this. or maybe i could. but it looks really, really hard.

that being said, anyone wanna get in shape with me and try it next year? could be one of the biggest regrets of our lives! haha jk.

the two winners this year were marines, one american and one british. no way am i anywhere close to being as fit or tough or these guys. it's inspiring tho! you gotta be a little nuts to do this thing...
