One of those sleepless nights again...

The door crashed open as loud as a thunder storm! He had been listening to Nirvana and painting right before that. With a big fright red paint was flung everywhere. "What the fuck!" he protested to the intrusion. "Where's my fucking money asshole!" the stranger yells as he pins the painter on the floor. "Where's my fooking money, gaw gaw gawd, damn it!" he stutters. "Ok, ok man." The painter replies holding a paint bush, dripping red paint on the floor. The stranger starts to get up while looking around the small apartment. The painter takes a deep breath and starts to get up from off the ground by rolling over and putting the hand with the paint brush on the floor first. "Damn it man" half talking to his paint brush. "On second thought..." the stranger pause for a second,"how about I just take one of your paintings?" Wouldn't you know it? He takes the one that meant the most. Then as the stranger is half way out the doorway he stops. Turns slowly. "This is going to be worth a lot more once you're dead."

A Bike Ride Can Do Wonders

(random person) Many people are misunderstood about who they are and get judge on the way they look. If you took the time to talk to them you will find out a little about them and a little about yourself. Like the old saying goes, "don't judge a book by it's cover" don't judge a person by the way they look. Of course when you are too drunk to see it might be a little harder to do anything beside looking like a fool. That's when wearing a mask can come in handy... Some folks are having a hard time making ends meet, but they seem to be upbeat and happy. What does it take to be happy in this rough economy? Well, there are a few things you can try that don't cost a cent. Fuck it. Enjoy life. A quote from Bruce Lee that makes complete sense, “Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” But on a different note... We took part of "The Road to Tour De Fat" in San Antonio next to the Cove. Here are some pictures from the event. Take care everyone and remember to love what you have...
