touchy feely social science theory

July 7, 2011

Ain't nothing but a G thing. One of these guys is living the dream on Orcas island and one is sitting around waiting for 46 to go to yoga class so he can get some work.

I saw you dropping down Pike today at 4:02pm but you didn't have time to hit Six Arms I guess I didn't either.

you can eat whenever you want, on elevators or on the sidewalk or at home any time you're passing by, you can use the library too or shop for shoes. Next time you pass the Essential Bakery building and tell Art you need to stop in to MadFiber and say hi to some people
