smiling at strangers

I've started a new movement!

It's called SMILING AT STRANGERS

And it's super positive. this is what it's all about: earlier today I downloaded some Beck: Guero remixes off of the inter-web. I downloaded like seven of them. seven more than the eight that I had yesterday. that's almost twice as many.

Problem is, I burned a disc of Beck: Guero re-mixes and live tracks yesterday. so I decided to burn a new disc with all of the new re-mixes and live tracks, and found that now I had two.

I stole a CD envelope from a designer's desk and wrote this message:

---

Hey you! This CD is for YOU!

BECK: GUERO RE-MIXES AND LIVE TRACKS

My boredom is your fortune!
Please accept this CD as a gift.
If you don't like Beck, give this CD to someone who does.

And remember: Always be
SMILING AT STRANGERS

---

I figured that it was cryptic and creepy enough with that message. but I also figured that whoever received it would find it mysteriously friendly.

Anyways, over my lunch hour I walked to a busy public square. I wanted it to be in a place where I'd be surrounded by people, but challenged myself to time it so that no one would actually see me set it down.

I took a seat and lit a smoke and waited. I waited two or three minutes and then I set the CD in a visible yet secure spot and walked away.

Wah-lah! A new movement! And it's super positive!
SMILING AT STRANGERS

I command all followers of the SMILING AT STRANGERS movement to follow suit and leave an object of value in a public area with a similiar note.

You'll feel like you're doing something really stupid the entire time, and question why exactly you're doing it, but while you're doing it, you'll feel like you're getting away with something, and it'll give you a super lame rush.

And, who knows what the recipients of the object of value will think of the find... they may even figure it out and join the movement!

SMILING AT STRANGERS!
