1. Beautiful morning today, nice crisp air, the sun and clouds are playing… Then I realize I still have to go to work. This morning sucks.

2. This is the part of my life where I’m waiting for NASA to visit me seeking my expertise in blowing up a giant asteroid hurling toward Earth.

3. The iPhone is great at keeping you connected to your email. Unless we’re talking about work email which you should disconnect at home.

4. We are a generation where telling someone that they’re about as exciting as an Excel spreadsheet is universally understood.

5. My nasal passages always seem to clear at the same time I sit next to a guy whose breath smells like he chewed wet cigarettes and manure.

6. Dear smokers, cigarettes make you smell like shit inside and out, no matter what perfume you spray or breath mint you use. I’m just saying.

7. I heard that if a bloodhound enters a packed Subway car with no A/C during July, their nose explodes.

8. No animals were ever harmed in the making of the SomBlock. Unless you consider me an animal. But that’s just rude and uncalled for.

9. Somfucius say: man who tracks down where he made past mistakes may get closure, but spends too much time running in wrong direction.

10. This morning’s SomBlock is sponsored by the dark clouds approaching. Hey clouds, welcome back. Thought you let me off the hook. Silly me.
