1000 Awesome Things -

I love blogs that are all about the good stuff. Lists of joy. Life is GOOD people … even when it’s bad. Let’s not forget that, eh?

(Someone tumbled a specific blog post from here, I clicked away, and then lost the tumblr thread … so I’m sorry if you deserve credit for pointing me this way and I didn’t give it to you. Let me know and I’ll edit you in.)

Just did a quick side-by-side comparison between the cities (or villages, as the case may be) where I’ve lived, and the one (ahem … San Fran) on the “maybe very probably next” list. I’m just happy that the site didn’t audibly laugh at me when I typed in “Hicksville, OH,” which is what usually happens when I mention my hometown by name. (The percentage of people relocating out of Hicksville was lower than anticipated … but that accounts for the odd collection of people I see when I visit. They’re not going ANYWHERE.)

“As I’m gearing up for my next 5K (in full-fledged training mode now that daylight savings has brightened my mornings) I’ve decided to change my morning running route so that I’m going through Hollywood (instead of up by Griffith Park). It’s a less beautific route, but it comes with the added bonus of someday in the future being able to work into casual conversation the runs I used to take through Hollywood in the mornings. I imagine myself saying this to my children’s friends, who will be in awe of these obviously practically famous runs. Also, early morning is the only time Hollywood is really tolerable. Also, I got to run on the stars of Jack White, Lena Horne, and Patsy Cline.” — theideachute

I don’t know what the original author has to say about it (because my Spanish is terribly terribly sub-par … so sub-par, in fact, that the original author might not actually be speaking Spansih. Yep. That’s how bad my Spanish is. But it’s a good and true thing and I wish to tumblr the shit out of it, in spite of the somewhat inhospitable origins.) I lost track of my parenthesis …

ROCHESTER FACT: David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and a couple of other people were nabbed for felony possession of marijuana after a concert they gave here in 1976. This is the mug shot from Bowie’s arraignment in city court a couple of days after his arrest.

Possibly the most adrogenously beautiful mugshot ever …
