Why Men Shouldn't Be Allowed To Take Messages - Friday laugh

Something I just read in my "Dewey" book

"Dr. Charlene Bell... says everyone has a pain thermometer that goes from zero to ten. No one will make a change until they reach ten. Nine won't do it. At nine, you are still afraid. Only ten will move you, and when you're there, you'll know. No one can make that decision for you."

Here's to arriving at ten.

Inspiring

Be brave

I just found something I wrote a long time ago... like... high school long time ago. High school me was pretty wise.

"Be brave. The world is not a fair place, but it's filled with love if you'll only care enough to seek it."

Dustin Hoffman - from his interview in Vanity Fair

He's a cool cat.

Honesty

My blackberry just told me I'm not in an area that can handle data communication. At least he's honest. I respect that.

A better one?

The Apatows

Judd Apatow, his wife Leslie Mann, and that gorgeous child from Knocked Up... I love Cali!

Ride on the wheel?

I thought I was a New York girl

but I was wrong. I'm a California girl.

Nope. Was right the first time. New York.

Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard

I was alone at the Santa Monica Pier last night. After sunset I wandered around the Third Street Promenade. I love it out here. Makes Greenwich, CT seem very far away. Not sure yet if that's a good thing or a bad thing... :)

From Bob Dylan's autobiography

"... I'd read The Prince and had liked it a lot. Most of what Machiavelli said made sense, but certain things stick out wrong - like when he offers the wisdom that it's better to be feared than loved, it kind of makes you wonder if Machiavelli was thinking big. I know what he meant, but sometimes in life, someone who is loved can inspire more fear than Machiavelli ever dreamed of."

And this is why he is an icon.

The most sleepy USC fan of all...

Swingers

Sitting at Swingers in Santa Monica, where the diner scene from Knocked Up was filmed. We're sitting in the same booth they were in. Yummy!
