Was at the laundry place today and thought I saw this guy with some gnarly kind of ear piercing. I was wrong. It turned out to be just some funky, super hi-tech earpiece gadget for his cell phone. All of which suddenly gave me the idea that maybe that could be the new big thing- earpiece earings. What says cutting edge more like hi-tech piercings? It's cutting edge both in terms of urban primitive style and Matrix-like tech style.

And here's another bright idea I had, it's for a reality show kind of like "the Bachelor" or "the Bachelorette" except it features people competing to be somebody's best friend. You star the show with some nebbish guy with tons of money, the kind of guy who wants a lot of friends but is too dorky to have any, give him a reason why people would want to be his best friend (millions in Google stock? Hot sisters? Box seats to ball games?). Then watch as twenty-five other dudes compete to be his best friends. Watch as all the guys live in some ridden down, bachelor-style apartment competing with each other. Gawk as they all have "hang out" dates where the contestants and the main guy go to sports bars and watch games together, play video games, and watch porn. Thrill to see who the main guy picks, having his assistant pass out a can of Bud to the people he wants to keep on. Feel the heat as contestants compete in things like beer chugging, "Godfather" movie quotes, and playing wing-man.

You could do it with women too. That would probably be way more fun (let's face it, male bonding is kind of boring). Just imagine the cat fights that'll break out.
