i love bouncy balls.


i'm not gonna lie to you. i have this love for bouncy balls that is just plain odd. there are a couple things that no matter how bad my day is, they can cheer me up. a bouncy ball is one of them.

a couple years ago sarah, ben and i were in atlanta for the catalyst conference. for some reason i had a ton of bouncy balls i think we bought them at a walgreens or something. the best thing to do is...hide a bunch of them in your pocket or coat or something and wait until you get into an elevator... preferably with people you know... and then just chuck the handful and hope and pray you don't lose an eye. this is worth a laugh like you wouldn't believe.

that tradition continued in vegas...then huntington beach. in hb, california, we stayed at the hyatt (thank you hotwire) and the game then continued out of the elevator and then down the hall towards our room. so funny. those little things can hurt.

anyway, all this to say that my friend marco introduced me to my new favorite commercial. i'm a new lover of sony, just because they did this commercial. and by the way, it's real footage. they filmed in san fran and did it all in one take. watch it. it's so worth it.

ps. the other things that can brighten a day... one is one of those sticky hands you can get out of the vending machine at the grocery store. you know, you can slap something from about 4 feet away and then the hand sticks. it eventually unsticks and bounces back and slaps you back. it's great. i probably laugh to the point of tears every single time i have one of those. there are more but you know...
