The most pernicious aspect of procrastination is that it can become a habit. We don’t just put off our lives today; we put them off till our deathbed. Never Forget: This very moment, we can change our lives. There never was a moment, and never will be, when we are without the power to alter our destiny.

The first time I played air guitar while listening to my own song.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
I wanted to get me a full pack complete with everything necessary to sleep, shelter, eat, cook, in fact a regular kitchen and bedroom right on my back, and go off somewhere and find perfect solitude and look into the perfect emptiness of my mind and be completely neutral from any and all ideas.

It is an unusual experience to waken restfully and slowly, to let the brain climb lazily out of a deep sleep and shake itself and yet have no encounter with the light to guarantee that the sleep is really over.

Based on Holloway’s descent, Navidson had estimated the stairway was an incredible thirteen miles down. Less than five minutes later, however, Tom and Reston hear a shout. Peering over the banister, they discover Navidson with a lightstick in his hand standing at the bottom-no more than 100ft down. Tom immediately assumes they have stumbled upon the wrong set of stairs. Further investigation by Navidson, though, reveals the remnants of neon trail markers left by Holloway’s team.

Creative Cars

Sunday May 25, 2008

  If you had $100,000 to spend on a car, which would you buy? Lamborghini? Maserati? Why not buy a less expensive car and make it your own?

  Let’s say you’re a famous rapper and you want to buy some rims. Rather than putting 24”s inside rubber band size tires on your Escalade why doesn’t anyone get 45s and put them on a customized ambulance? Or maybe 72s on a cement truck? Yes, it would cost quite a bit but not nearly as much as a Bentley. 

  Personally, I would buy a Volkswagen Bus and put in a ridiculous muscle car engine. Maybe convert the back end into a fish tank that can be seen outside of the car. People would think twice about rear ending you if they knew it would result in a school of pirrhanas being drained into road.  It would also have a button on the dash that, when activated, would create a tremendous back fire out of the exhaust. It would have an exhaust towards the front of the car as well, similar to semi trucks, but rather than spewing out toxic fumes it would release a parade of bubbles. This all of course occurs once the bubble button is activated. Lava lamps for headlights, shag carpet interior…and of course, an eject button…just in case.

   There’s endless possibilities to creating a car that accurately describes you. So I go back to my original question: If you had $100,000 to spend on a car what would you buy?
