this just goes to show that all you need is one bright idea to become another Google or Bill Gates. damn! how come these guys have time to party all night and then get away with a billion-dollar idea in the morning? they got to it first, yet again, so now i’ll have to think of another (???). hahaha! somebody hit me hard on the head quick! maybe something crazy will come into this freakin’ empty noggin’ of mine. who knows, it might be another bright idea. if not, then all i’ll have is one big lump and a still empty pocket.. . not to mention a bad headache.
