A couple guys are trying to catch some pigeons for breakfast at 8:30 AM on a busy sidewalk next to a busy road. From what I can make out the main guy lured the pigeons in with seeds and then was planning on throwing a container over them… but every time the birds were close enough something scared the pigeons away, either someone walking past or vehicle. Don’t worry no pigeons were harmed during the filming of this. The track being played is Valerna – Combination Pizza Hut & Taco Bell.

“You need a lot of passion for what you’re doing because it’s so hard. Without passion, any rational person would give up. So if youre not having fun doing it, if you dont absolutely love it, youre going to give up. And thats what happens to most people, actually. If you look at the ones that ended up being successful in the eyes of society, often times its the ones who love what they do, so they could persevere when it got really tough. And the ones that didnt love it, quit. Because theyre sane, right? Who would put up with this stuff if you dont love it? So its a lot of hard work and its a lot of worrying constantly. If you dont love it, youre going to fail.” – Steve Jobs
