>I cry at weddings.

>I remember riding in the front seat of my mom’s ‘80 Olds with the seatbelt strap running right over my mouth. I either had to tuck it under my chin or armpit, or put it behind my back. No airbag. No nothing. No nonsense. The good years.

>I’m about to start my first painting in two years this weekend!

Sorry I have been MIA this week on ye ‘ol blog…but for good reason. There are some things brewing at work that we are about to unveil very, very soon. Keep your pants on. In the meantime, visit Thomas Allen’s  Pulp Fiction gallery for a glimpse of what it means to have an original idea. (via yewknee)

Nice little article over at the NYtimes about European’s quest for developing green. They have a leg up on the U.S. and also seem so much cooler. Recommended for anyone working or interested in development. If nothing else, just take a look at the slideshow.

>Growing up, I was obsessed with the movie The Beast Master on TBS. They seemed to play it every Saturday.

>Whoever buys me this will be my best friend forever.

>I try to avoid places where only fat people are walking in and out. Unfortunately, this is most places in Kansas City.

What a Wonderful World…

When I take five minutes out of my day to view FlickrVision, I realize that there’s a lot of life going on on this planet. Kind of gives me warm fuzzies. Oh, for those of you who don’t know, FlickrVision shows you what people are uploading to their Flickr accounts all over the world in real-time. (via blankenship)

PS: I can’t believe no one has commented on my last post. Seriously. At least a few sarcastic remarks please!

Monday Thoughts on Small Business (4)

May 14, 2007 · 1 Comment

The great myths of small business owners:

>We’re rich

>We’re smart

>We’re good looking 

The one truth of small business ownership: we don’t want to be doing anything else, usually.

>I cannot watch shows where people perform in competitions like dancing, ice skating (NO WAY!), singing…I can’t take the humiliation or possible humiliation on national television for the contestant. I have been known to change the channel right before some girl attempts to land a triple-luts-double-twist-thingy and then turn back to see if she stuck it, or not.

>My first and last shady business practice: When I was ten, I entertained a friend at the country club where my dad was a member. My friend brought ten dollars for lunch. He paid me for it. I did not inform him that I sign off all country club bills to my dad’s business account. I was ten bucks the richer and surprisingly never felt guilty.

>I confess that I was still rollerblading my freshman year of college (1996).
