I don't mind telling you that I was crazy tired yesterday! Watching the Oscars really took its toll on me this year. I had a lot of fun watching it with other people over at my friend Sandi's house. It was a nice change of pace for me. I usually watch the Oscars alone and curse at the TV. Sometimes Hollywood gets the best of me.HOLLYWOOD!!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! Internet Acting, thank you, thank you very much. I watched this documentary over the weekend, Startup.com, have you seen that? It was very, very entertaining. And I learned a lot. I need to get some venture capital for BobBorden.com. I don't really have a business plan but I'll tell you this -- For 15 million, I'll get a business plan! Either that or a fur hat or a solid gold toilet. That's the dream right there, enough money to buy a solid gold toilet. I stopped off at the store last night for the essentials, a can of Pringles and a Kit Kat bar. And while I'm not one to talk about myself -- wait a minute, that's all I do is talk about myself! Let me start over again -- Here's a story about a good deed that makes me look good. That's better. After I left the store -- I'm walking home and I see this kid on a bike to the left of the sidewalk. I keep walking, the kid rides past me and he has a basketball in his hand. He's only steering the bike with one hand. Needless to say, he's all over the sidewalk and in danger of hitting a car. He stops and says, "I'm never going to get home like this." I looked at the kid and kept walking. No, I'm kidding. I said to him, "Here, let's see if the ball fits in this bag." At that point I take my Pringles and Kit Kat out of the bag and put them in my backpack. We put the ball into the bag and after thanking me, the kid rode off into the darkness of night. That was my good deed for the day! I felt so good after that! I even took a photo of my good deed:
OK, that photo wasn't 100% true. I guess that's what you'd call a dramatization.
Here's how I faked the photo:
1. It was taken in my apartment an hour after the actual event.
2. I'm not wearing the same clothes.
3. The basketball is really an upside down Wheaties bowl.
4. Playing the part of "Kid" is my table lamp.

I'm glad I could help the kid out but seriously, I think there's a bigger issue at hand -- What 32-year old is still buying Pringles!?! That's it. Have a great day. God Bless America.
