Alright you lazy pot-smoking hippy
Young people vs. the people that are making a real difference:
The young represent pure, unadulterated idealism -- which coincidentally is right on target 90%+ of the time (you're never too old for the golden rule).
Thing is, idealism tends to be annoying to adults. You need to understand how the world works and find a VEHICLE to apply the ideals.
Are you good with math? Go become an engineer and work on solar technology or wind farms or hydrogen powered automobiles.
Are you an artist? Don't make sculptures of turtles for god sake! You can go see turtles at the petstore or you can go scuba diving in Costa Rica instead of backpacking through Euope after college if you love turtles so godamned much. Use your art to create websites and branding and professional collateral to get smart people's ideas in front of people so they can get adopted.
Action isn't just talking loud - it takes ideals AND a business mind, which is a tough combination to defeat, no matter what your budget.

Paper-Rock-Scissors championships
My cat (Mr. Angelica Peterson) and I were playing scissors paper scissors today. I was the scissors and her paw was the paper. I won most of the time.

France vs. California
On Friday the 26th of September, 2003 a small crowd gathered to partake in a wine-tasting/birthday party at the Haus Interactive office. 3x5 cards were left on the counter with pens. partygoers were encouraged to write a little blurb about each wine as they tasted it. The following is the transcript of the party as read on the cards, in rough chronological order:
WYATT 2001:
- A bit sour, but friendly
- It reminds me of my childhood: Dry, fulfilling and most of all, young.
- Delicious! Hints of wood, berries
- yummy! delicious with berries.
UNNAMED:
- MAYBE IT'S JUST THE WINE TALKING, BUT WHOAH! THIS SHIT ROCKS!
RABBIT RIDGE:
- While it looks good when you first see it, but when you open her up... let's just say some things are best left undiscussed. Let's never drink this wine again.
- Spicy + dry, yet hot.
- This has long been a favorite wine of mine. However, since I'm currently sleeping with the person who brought it I may be slightly biased.
RAVENWOOD:
- The label depicts an infinite chain of birds pecking each other in the bird ass. It's fine.
CASTLE ROCK:
- It makes the back of your teeth dry... kind of like eating an unripe apple or a banana peel...and it's good.
- A little glass of yum! Nice light/med bodied raspberry, blackberry, plum combo w/spicy finish
- feels "zingy" on your tongue! Yay!
- Warm floral bouquet - kind of like a late autumn day that starts our in the low 70s (but not too humid) and cools down into the night. "Light" is not "watery" which is a good thing.
- Sweet at first taste. Good w/Cheddar cheese!!! Sweet and tasty
- just how I like it baby!! Ah.
JEAN-LUKE COLUMBO (france):
- Light bodied & spicy. Oakey, leathery. Man I wish I had a steak to go w/it!
- A little too bitey and acidic. A little dry, not exactly sure how it would taste if spilled on human skin + licked up. That's the real test of good wine!
- I must say I brought the best wine tonight. It is fresh but of course. The lady will be happy with this any time of day ... or night.
RANCHO ZEBACO:
- Not too strong...not as fruity as I had hoped
- didn't get me tipsy-feeling like I was rolling in a vineyard...
GIVRY:
- Simply the best wine in the house. It reminds me of a warm fire burning softly in a stone house during a light, early morning snow. Simply the best wine in the house -- but didn't I just say that.
UNNAMED:
- I'M SO DRUNK. P.S. YOU'ER NOT
JACK DANIELS (The "Tennessee White" Wine):
- A flowery bouquet with a touch of fall amore. Long legs and a memory you won't forget. Jack, you are for me tonight. Now if I could just get the girl in red to say the same

It's a doll revolution
Our necks are a little bit like those of the Barbie family. When we’re young the socket snaps in nice and tight. We can consume drugs, take our heads off and run around, then snap them back on the next day (or two days later).
With all of this snapping on and off the socket gets a little looser so you’ve got to be careful. You could just be walking down the street and “whoops”, there goes my head.
