1. The experiment has begun. I'm starting with $60 and I'm going to buy and sell cards until I end up with $10,000. So far I've spent $56 of my $60 and I have only a few cards to show for it. As Barney on the Simpsons would say, "It begiiiiinnnnsss!!!"

2. Wow, I got a comment from "Michelle." I don't even know her. It doesn't really hit me sometimes that just anybody can read this stuff. I wonder if anybody famous reads this blog.

3. Selina keeps saying she saw some guy that looked exactly like me at school on Thursday, yet I didn't even go to school that day. That brings me to another Bizzaro World idea. There are 6 billion people in this world. You'd think that just one person out of those 6 billion looks exactly like you, dresses exactly like you, and even laughs like you. I guarantee that everybody has a twin out there. I know that everybody has had someone come up to you at one point and say they know somebody that looks like you. But my theory goes even deeper. That also means that everybody has a twin of every race. Yes, somewhere on the planet there is a Chinese Allan, White Allan, Black Allan, Indian Allan, and yes, even a Hispanic Allan (Alejandro as his friends would call him). It's a shame we don't know each other, and probably never will. But it would be cool to gather all these guys who look like me and put us in a room so we can talk to each other.

4. I like watching Ripley's Believe It Or Not. There are so many weird people out there. Just off the top of my head, I've seen these stories on that show: a bar that sells beer with a human toe in it, a girl with a hairball the size of a baseball in her stomach, a man with no face, a kid who had his lower leg amputated and had his foot sewed on the stump, and a man who eats worms. One of these days, I want to show up to a fancy cocktail party with people I don't know, and jump into their conversations by telling them things I've seen on Ripley's Believe It Or Not. I think talking about the guy with no face is a great cocktail party story.
