Visit From a Dying Friend

Even the sun dies, he said, 1 and if you lived a hundred million years 2 you could watch every star 3 twinkle out of the sky 4 like lights in the city below 5 (or snowflakes, 6 on touching warm pavement). 7 8 I told him I’d love him to 9 even that moment of full black; 10 but he told me that no one 11 lives for that long. 12 13 We stood on the hill 14 over the valley past sunset 15 and I loved him 16 (though there was no snow on the ground) 17 and when he was gone 18 the city was dark in the valley 19 and I felt a hundred 20 million years old. 21

Zen Habits - A users guide to fabulous friendships

Zen Habits - A users guide to fabulous friendships

Zen habits... has another great post.. here are a few tidbits:

Surround yourself with people who reflect the person you want to be

Choose friends you are proud to know, people you admire, who love and respect you. People who make your day a little sunnier, simply by being in it.


Personally, I don’t think you can go past honesty, loyalty and integrity as a foundation for choosing friends

If you have to really think about the last time you were in contact with a friend, then it was too long ago.

Treat yourself with kindness and respect, and others will do the same.
This is probably the most important point. You cannot be a friend to others, if you are not a friend to yourself. Have you ever noticed that some people are taken advantage of by everyone. They attract users and frauds like honey. This is not a coincidence. If you want other people to treat you with respect, then you need to be the first person in line to respect yourself. Being a good friend does not mean being a doormat. The kinder you are to yourself the happier you will be. The happier you are, the more you have to give to others. It is one big merry-go-round of happiness. Join the ride.

Surprise musical in food court, diners confused, hilarity ensues.

Entertainment while you eat; bringing the fun in, one napkin at a time.

For your enjoyment, from the Improv Website, in their own words:

For our latest mission, 16 agents staged a spontaneous musical in the food court of a Los Angeles shopping mall. We used wireless microphones to amplify the vocal performances and mix them together with the music through the mall’s PA system. We filmed the mission with hidden cameras, mostly behind two-way mirrors. Apart from our performers, no one in the food court was aware of what was happening. Enjoy the video first and then go behind the scenes with our report below.
