Afternoon PLUSAs! Hope everyone had a great weekend.

I had the most humoruous subway ride today. A guy was preaching to us at the top of his lungs. Some of the gems he laid out:

“I used to be on crack. To get it, I stole from my momma, my sister – I stole my landlord’s tv and vcr – TWICE! If I can do that for crack, I can do this for Christ!”

“If you don’t listen, you’ll wind up in hell. It’s like the people of New Orleans who didn’t listen when they were told that the levees were going to break. They weren’t told the levees *may* break. NO! It was a sure thing. They were told, the levees *are* gonna break. FO SHIZZLE MY NIZZLE!”

“When you die you can’t take it with you. When Bill Gates dies, Microsoft will still be here. When Jay-Z dies, the 40-40 Club will still be here. And when Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson dies, G G G G G-UNIT will still be here folks!”

There was an article in the WSJ last week about salaries for athletes. The gist was, if we really did value service professions like we say we do, those salaries would not be the case. The American public is a selfish one…most people think the only goal in life is to have fun, and that’s it.

Mary Jane, Peter Parker’s girlfriend

a vast majority of people do not want to be mentally and emotionally bogged down by serious topics. that’s just how life is. why would someone want to watch bloody war footage if they could just flip the channel and watch hannah montana?
