hmmm....
Okay, I am a total nerd, but I thought this was sorta funny. I typed happiness into the search field and here was the response: "Hmm, your search for happiness has no results. We're not saying it doesn't exist, but you may want to check the spelling. Not that you're a bad speller. Just try a similar topic."Wednesday, July 4, 2007
snapshot from 10000ft
What is great about the fourth of july:
I spent the day with my family. Making food in the "treehouse" I designed for my mom’s property that was constructed by my dad and is lived in by my sister and her new husband. I made a new friend who, like me, has shared time with the city of New Orleans. The things that should be long were long and the things that should be quick were quick. Hours later, I found myself in the airport on this holiday ordering food from Schlotzsky’s, an Austin Original, knowing exactly what I wanted because I have had it so many times before. I sat applying an extreme positive and scribbled about my fast food order accomplishments, feeling empowered: “opportunity is everywhere, potential is from doing. so do something.” I scoffed at the neon sign “Keep Austin Weird 5k” with a Ziegenbach logo attached. I do this because “KAW” is a slogan to support local business, while Ziegenbach is owned by Budweiser, distributed in Texas as a direct competitor to Shiner (a real local brewer). I guess its only a matter of time before they both go “national,” certainly Austin has.
While on the plane I took this picture
because page 236 drew it was okay:
On the other side of the coin (or any other monetary measurement):
How many other Americans can afford to do this? Have we become a nation of consumers over a nation of citizens? I hope not. Our privilege, my privilege and those with respective resources, should be recognized, shared, and spread.
We can't afford to forget to vote.

for brian
This is an entry for Brian. Here is a photo of him, for those of you who have not met Brian.
Brian goes bowling every Monday night, I would join him more if I lived in Austin.
I wrote this: “I’m gonna stand out here because its getting really intense” outside of the bowling alley where I first told Brian I would write about this experience. We discussed how clearly what happened then would be conveyed on a blog. I guess only we really know...
I went on to write at different points in the evening, “It is raining really hard in Texas" and "I think I will rename my blog ‘The Thought Dump.’”
For contrast: bowling in two southern cities:
