I got yelled at..

by a stranger
and
it was all because of a dime.
I dropped a dime on the ground when I was waiting for the subway to come
and
I just looked at it and thought,
Should I pick it up or leave it?

I left it.

Then some guys comes stomping by,
stops, looks at the dime on the floor, then looks at me and says,
Did someone drop this dime?!

For some reason my answer was,
Yeah it looks like they did..
Instead of,
Yes, I dropped the dime.

The guy seemed pissed off by the dime being on the ground and picked it up and said,
It's a sin to not pick up your dimes!!!
Then he stomped away.
I'm convinced he was wearing tap shoes because when he walked it sounded like a horse was galloping away.

Bam!

I saw a turkey wandering around this morning:

It wasn't making "gobble, gobble" noises.
It was more of a random loud screeching noise.
Rock out, turkey.

Road trip!!





This one was my favorite:




I wasn't sure if this was supposed to be part of the art exhibit
or
if someone accidentally left their hand print on the wall years ago
and
decided to leave it just to see if anyone would notice:

Happy Valentines Day!

I was just driving behind someone who had a license plate that said:

CRUSHY

on it
and
it also had a heart after the word.

I think that's a brave vanity plate for one to sport.
I wouldn't be surprised if the person driving the car owned a t-shirt that said:

HUGGLES

on it.

New(er) clip of my stand-up

Hi Everyone,
A new(er) clip of my stand-up is finally on-line.
I meant to post it when it was first taped(12/29/07)
but
never did because there was an obstacle(me not being tech saavy and being too stubborn to ask for help).
Anyway, it's up on myspace now.
It's just a quick little snippet of a longer set.
You can find it here:

Hope you're all doing good!

In the clear

I heard some news story that some guy got arrested for some over due fees that he never paid at the library
and
it reminded me that I actually had some over due fees that I had never paid because of a book that I allegedly never returned in the year 2000.
This made me head to the library and finally pay it.
I have no idea why I never paid
and
quite frankly I don't recall ever checking out a book called "The Artist's Way"
but
whatever, I don't feel like going to jail.
That would be such a ridiculous thing to go to jail for.
And I'm sure it would sound ridiclous to brag about it when everyone was saying what they were "in for".

Everyone else would be like,
I robbed a bank.

Then I would just be like,
I never returned or payed for a book that I don't remember checking out in the year 2000 called, "The Artists Way".
