Today, tear a page out of book in a book store or library. Better yet, tear out the last page. Free somebody other than yourself.

«Music is the elixir for the soul.»

Today, burn a mix CD and leave it on the bus, in a mailbox or at a café. Label it: "Take Me, I'm Yours."

«Hello, I love you»

In the United States, there is a birth about every 8 seconds. Today, go to a hospital and greet one of the newbies. They could use a smile after their strenuous journey.

Done, done, and done.

1. I tried to think of books that would be the most "freeing" without the last pages, so I went to the library and tore out the last page of Franny & Zooey, On the Road, 1984, Animal Farm, and the entire last chapter of every Agatha Christie novel. Which ones did I miss?

2. I made a mix that was Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" and Main Ingredient's "Everybody Plays the Fool" repeated over and over and I left it on the bus I took to work. Someone's getting rickrolled today.

3. While I was on the bus dropping off the cd, I helped deliver 2 babies from 2 different mothers. I gave them a smile, a "godspeed," and then I held them up to my fellow passengers as if I was Rafiki and the babies were the kings of lions.
I tore out the ending of a few Harry Potters.
Tell us something embarrassing that you've never told anyone else before.

I just scalded myself when I tried to t-bag my co-worker's coffee.

Actually, I might as well give a genuine response.

Poignant Example: As a child, I was frightened by people who were missing limbs. This would happen all the time when my dad would take me to ball games and we would walk by a small section that had wheelchair access. I would fearfully glance at the people in the section and if I saw anything that made me uncomfortable, I would feign a headache and ask to go home. I think it was some sort of empathetic response to what I imagined was a difficult life. I'm sure those people were actually fine. I don't know if I've ever told my parents about this.

Scatological Example: At some point, tire tracks were a persistent part of my life.
Hey, who posted this under my name? Seriously.
t-bag.

take that for what you will.

I just stole a tea bag from a co-worker and didn't tell her...........then I dipped my balls in something.

Just kidding. I wouldn't steal a tea bag!

LOVE IT!!
If anybody responds to the ad, I'll post them.
This reminds me of bubblegum sculptures at Explo. Nothing bonds you with your coworkers like molding their saliva-covered gum with your bare hands.
Here is the full ad:

Do you have a really strong jaw?

I am looking for a few good masticators for a large-scale art project I am currently creating. Can your jaw handle this job?

You would be required to chew as much bazooka bubble gum as you possibly can in order to help me reach my goal of having 2,557lbs* of chewed gum.

I'll supply the gum. All you need to bring are your teeth (please, only participate if you have real teeth...dentures are a disaster...can't tell you how many we've lost in the lumps of gum), your mandible, and maybe an icepack to stave off lockjaw.

What am I going to do with this gum? I'll tell you. I plan on making a bubblegum land bridge that spans the Charles River bringing goodwill and pink tidings from Allston to Harvard.

Why bazooka gum you ask? Because the bridge is also a protest against the war in Iraq. The name of the gum itself makes you think, "what if bazookas shot out gum instead of rocket death?" Instant peace! Also, the sugar-to-gum ratio in bazooka is much better than dubble bubble for making a land bridge (trust me!).

Anyway, email me if you're interested.

*Americans chew about 1.67lbs of gum per person per year or .0046lbs per person per day. If we multiply that by the population of Boston, we can find out how much gum the city of Boston chews in a day. Do the math and you'll find it's about 2,557lbs.

SPECIAL NOTE: A good number of you will have to re-chew some used gum. I have some that was already chewed, but hardened too quickly and now I need to reshape it. Damned dubble bubble.

Create One True Thing. Or answer the following questions:

1. What is truth?

2. Can it be created?

Einstein allegedly said: "Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods." I really don't want to argue with that.

I think there's some difference between honesty and truth. I might be able to create something that a critic would call "honest," but perhaps, like matter, truth can neither be created nor destroyed.

Someone help me out here!
Travel and Leisure named Florence as the Number One City to Live in in 2007 and Cape Town as Number 10. In a sonnet, defend Cape Town.

This will have to be done later. I plan on using a Shakespearian rhyme scheme: abab cdcd efef gg.
cop out.
Cop out THIS:

Hannah is a silly ass

for forcing me to write this poem

I probably should have said, "I'll pass"

and gone to do some yoga -- "Ohm."

I created this blog called ipost | upost

Hoping that people would show it some love,

but most days it's more like ipost | fewpost

and it makes me want to hang up my gloves.

But enough with this moping, let's defend Cape Town

in this sonnet form I was given as a parameter.

C-Town's the shit; Firenze blows clowns

And seriously man, fuck iambic pentameter.

So Hannah, you might have thought your post was cool,

but turns out you're just an April Fool.
Hooray! That totally made my morning.
Don't forget the iambic pentameter.
