Humpday Thing That Is Awesome

Every Wednesday, Max gives you a glimpse into his world by revealing something he thinks is, indeed, awesome. Today's entry: fine-tipped pens.

Holy God are fine-tipped pens awesome. Is there anything better than laying down an incredibly straight, incredibly smooth line in red, black or blue ink? No. The answer is no.

It doesn't smudge like pencil. It doesn't bleed through the paper like marker. It doesn't smear like thicker tips that lay down a lot of ink. It just gives precise control over your doodles and notes. It puts the entire languages at your disposal. Allows you to create an entire universe to conquer.

Plus, the familiar "click" of the cap popping off means you are about to unleash the contents of your brain into the world. There are few things that match the feeling of pressing the pen against a blank piece of paper. The possibilities are myriad. You are about to make thoughts and ideas concrete, tangible. It is the ultimate beginning to unending possibilities.

In conclusion: Fine-tipped pens are awesome.

I was under the impression that everyone had heard...

Does anyone else have Surfin' Bird stuck in their heads?

Time To Die, Mr. Bond.

I don't wear watches (because I don't own one that works), but if I did, it would be one of these awesome 007 Villain watches from Swatch.

I love the Dr. No version.

Big Weekend

I work best in lists...
1. Florida tonight
2. Biggest recruit (on paper) that Alabama has ever seen for volleyball. Although I'm bound by NCAA regulations to tell you who she is, she's got game.
3. Alabama vs Kentucky
4. HUSKERS vs Missouri...I hate Missouri
5.Alabama volleyball vs South Carolina
6. Steelers vs Jags...Payback. Jerks.
...If we can go 6 for 6 this weekend, I should get a raise.
