1. First random song of the AM: “Miserlou”, the opening song to Pulp Fiction. I guess that means I should go rob a diner now?

2. Someone on my train is eating bacon. This type of inconsiderate behavior should be outlawed and… PLEASE PLEASE share some of your bacon!!

3. Of course, too much giving in to bacon will lead you to the fat side of the Force.

4. In lighter news, the man across the aisle is wearing a really ugly tie, mostly bald, and makes me look skinny. Ah, that made me feel better.

5. My sister @bethcardwell is retiring from her day job of 14 yrs today to do her photography FT. I’m so proud that I couldn’t be more jealous.

6. It’s refreshing when you see someone chase their dreams. Of course, most times, they have to be a little cuckoo. But very refreshing to see.

7. Somewhere along the line, all of us will have to choose between what we want to do and what we have to do. There’s no way around this.

8. I personally want to drink beer, eat bacon, and make psychedelic art. But I suppose I have to do something more constructive. Sigh.

9. I could lie & tell you that you’ll be maximizing your weekend, but the universe knows better and you’ll be back to the grind soon enough.

10. This morning’s SomBlock is sponsored by the last Red Bull in the fridge, because like Rambo said to the Big Bad Wolf, “Your ass is mine!”
