1. This reminds me of something that happened to me when I was 16

I was taking drivers Ed and I got out of the car after a driving lesson and someone snapped a picture of me.

A week later my Dad found the picture in our mailbox. I was so natural looking and had a nice smile on my face. I never knew who took the picture but it was one my parents went out and brought a new frame hung right away in our house.

I hope they do something with it. Don't waste it.

3. Random acts of kindness...

have become far too random since that thing was in the White House for the past four years. Selfish assholes became celebrated, and hopefully that will come to an end now. The artist is quite good, considering the swaying and general movement in the typical subway car.

4. Really nice. Just a human interaction. "Nicest thing anyone has ever done for me". There you go.

5. I drew a sleeping homeless person in Washington Sq Park, NYC

in 1981 with a few students from my art school (an assignment). When he woke up he threw a bottle at us.
