Things To Do This Week.

Make Up Your Mind.

Sometimes life presents you with awesome, random opportunities. And when they do, you've got to be prepared to take advantage of the situation with no hesitation.

Like, say, when you're a nine-year-old boy and you find an empty city bus idling on the street. Even if you do quickly realize you'll have to drive standing because you're too short to reach the pedals, or that, well, you don't know how to drive. Trust us, when you crash the thing three blocks later, you'll look back and realize you've just had the time of your life.

While you can't necessarily plan when or where you'll happen to find your next empty, running bus, though, you can plan how you'll spend the rest of your week. Where will your life's joyride take you these next few days? — Cory Graves
