i did a google image search this morning for ‘corporate,’ and this was on the first page of results. it’s almost spot on, except the guy is made of metal - oh, wait, yes, it’s exactly right.

subway sentiments.
yesterday on my commute home, i was standing near a homeless man who was seated and playing a guitar (poorly). at first he sang a song that was most likely titled ‘god has blessed me today,’ since those were the only words to the entire song. but then he started speaking, and this is where it became interesting. i guess he realized that he should probably offer some sort of story as to why we fellow subway riders should give him money. he said:
can anyone spare something they can share on their way to times square? i’m alone in this city. i used to have jobs. i had jobs. but i got fired from all of them. and i can’t just sit here with no money!
you’ve got to love the candor here. he definitely didn’t need to share the ‘i got fired’ bit - it’s not like any of us would’ve known the difference. but seriously, folks, how can anyone be expected just to sit there without money?!

last night my friends and i had our annual pre-thanksgiving potluck dinner. the following may or may not have resulted:
1. an overwhelming amount of food and wine
2. crazy late night karaoke
3. a *killer* headache
4. a great time
