Hello. I was riding the bus home last night and the woman seated next to me was talking on the cell phone for more than half the bus ride. Usually that pisses me off but this was a little strange. Strange because she just came from a taping of the Late Show — I work at the Late Show, it seemed a little out of the ordinary. Anyway, she enjoyed the show and was psyched that she got to see Robin Williams. She’s also going to see a Rush concert on Monday. Sometimes I wonder if it’s unethical for me to repeat overheard conversations? Screw it, if it were private, she wouldn’t have been blathering for 10 minutes! I have a cell phone but you don’t see me boring the people around me!! I have respect for the people around me! RESPECT!!! I guess this person did bother me. I’m not mad at the cell phones, I’m mad at the people that use them. It reminds me of the statement, guns don’t kill people, people kill people. OK, maybe that’s a little extreme. AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Internet Acting! Thank you, thank you very much.

A friend of mine is seriously thinking about getting an old-school VW Beetle. I have to say, I’m very envious because that’s always something that I wanted. Growing up, I made a list of things that I would have someday. The list is: A VW Beetle, A motorcycle and a tattoo. While I was reviewing my list, I happened to be walking past a tattoo parlor. I looked up at the tattoo sign and said to myself, today is the first day of the rest of your life and I walked in:

The last thing I remember saying to the guy was, “surprise me.” I’m glad I left the design decision in his hands. Never in a million years would I have thought to put a cobra, some dice and some cards on my arm. Anyway, I want to give a shout out to Jimmy at Tattoo Heaven. Thanks brother.

I got home and opened up the old mailbox. I only had a catalog from Crate & Barrel. I said to myself, they took the time to mail it to me, the least I can do is read it! I looked and looked and I actually found something I liked:
