I laughed until I cried. Who CAN’T relate to this video??
And I can TOTALLY see Dude and Jazz doing something like this. The “serious” guy would be Dude, the crack up would be Jazz.
Have a wonderful, WONDERFUL day, moms!!

When Break Dancing Meets Classical Music
This brought tears to my eyes. The music was beautiful and this man’s interpretation was just breath taking.
From Spike Jonze:
The other day, I was lucky enough to be at an event to bring the arts back into schools and got to see an amazing collaboration between Yo-Yo Ma and a young dancer in LA, Lil Buck. Someone who knows Yo-Yo Ma had seen Lil Buck on YouTube and put them together. The dancing is Lil Buck’s own creation and unlike anything I’ve seen. Hope you enjoy.
Watching things like this gives me hope. If vastly different art forms can come together and create something so beautiful, then vastly different view points can come together and make a better world … right?
Living in a Closet
How big is your living space?
Our house is 2000 square feet. Which is a pretty respectable size, at least in my opinion. Still though, it can feel cramped with four people vying for space sometimes.
However, can you imagine living in a 90 square foot closet?? This woman does. She pays $700 every month for this teeny space in Manhattan.
I could do it, I think. The bed might take some getting used to, but overall, I could hack it. I think the only time it might bother me would be in the winter when it would be harder to get out and about.
Could you live in such a tiny space?

Have You Seen My Other Sock?
This video has since gone viral, so you’ve probably seen it. But for those that haven’t …
I LOVE how the babies gesture with their hands and then the one on the left bends over and laughs … you know they’re imitating their parents. haha!
What sweeties.
April Fools’ Pranks
Happy April’s Fool Day!
I don’t really get into April Fools’ (especially now that the boys are older and usually catch on right away), but I found some funny pranks that I thought I would pass on to you in case you want to pull a fast one on a co-worker or a loved one.
Forgetful
Tape magnets to the bottom of an empty coffee cup, and attach it to the top of your car. Laugh at all the people who frantically try to get your attention as you drive by.
Wild Flowers
Buy some fake but realistic-looking flowers from a craft store and “plant” them in your victim’s garden. They will be shocked to find they have a greener thumb than they thought!
Invisible Ink
Go into the victim’s office and locate every pencil and pen in their desk. Paint the tips with clear nail polish. When they try to write, none of them will work. (After the prank is revealed, the nail polish can be removed by dipping the pens and pencils in polish remover.)
Kidnapped
Take an item from the victim’s office (something they use a lot such as a special coffee cup, stapler, pencil cup, etc.). Take a picture of the item and leave it on the victim’s desk (in the same spot where the item was located), along with a “ransom” note.
Clipped
Make some copies of a paperclip. Then put them into the paper tray of the copier. People will go nuts trying to find the paperclip stuck in the printer.
Filed Away
Take a tape recorder and fast forward a blank tape about half-way. Then record yourself saying “Hey, let me out of here!”, then knock on the tape recorder with your knuckles. Let the tape run a bit more and repeat as many times as you want. Now, rewind the tape, and hide it a file cabinet or other piece of furniture. Right before you know your victim will be in the area by themselves, sneak in a press “PLAY”.
Document Panic
Has your victim been working on an important document on their computer? Carefully hide the document in a safe place, then create a fake document with the same name. Fill the document with gobbledy-gook or a funny story. At the bottom put “April Fool’s!”
Incorrect
If the victim uses Microsoft Word, go into the victim’s computer and change the auto-correct feature so it misspells common words. Just open Word, choose “AutoCorrect Options” from the Tools menu, and have it replace common words like “the” and “and” with wacky words like “eggplant” or “Uranus.” Be creative.
Away From Home
Change the victim’s homepage to something unexpected. Open their browser and choose Tools->Options and enter the URL for a new page.
You can find many more “harmless” pranks at http://aprilfoolzone.com. Have fun!
P.S. I just noticed that, according to Grammar Girl, the correct spelling is:
Everything’s Amazing and Nobody’s Happy
Love, love, LOVE this.
I am SO SICK of people feeling like they’re owed something for simply breathing and/or being part of the human race. In some ways? I sort of wish all of our modern conveniences, entitlement programs and cool technology would just disappear and we were forced to go back to the pioneer days.
Can you imagine the sheer panic?? Would people even survive without killing each other?
I honestly wonder.
