Always On Time

My life has been so crazy hectic of late, I can't seem to keep my to-do list in order, if even existent from lack of time to jot things down.

I figured that maybe, just maybe, I need to invest in an agenda or notebook of some sort -- trying to keep a schedule in my head is just not working for me.

a) want something

and...

b) are simply not used to it.

Laugh of the Day: A cabbie in China wanted to "go green" -- and stay cool in his taxi. So he decided to plant a little plot of grass on the roof of his vehicle, with the knowledge in mind that grass is cooling and thus, would keep everything below it at a comfortable, more bearable temperature.
