Laziness, missing noses, bums, pap pizza, and hatchets.

I haven't posted in a long time, simply because I have been lazy and unmotivated.  I am trying to get motivated, but I am grappling with school being in three weeks, and needing to study for the GRE which I am taking again sometime in September or October.  Also, a wedding I will be performing is looming in the near future, and I need to find something witty, romantic, and heartfelt to say and pick something to read.  So, basically with so many responsibilities swirling, I choose to do nothing instead.

Here are some highlights for the week, though.

1. During a fight in the Boise area, a man bit off another man's nose.  WTF?

2. I saw a homeless man today wearing a sign that said "KICK ME FOR A DOLLAR."  A friend and I talked about how the sign grammatically means, kick the guy, and you get a dollar for doing it--you not only get to kick another human, you get paid for doing so.  What he really means, as I am sure you have gathered, is give him a dollar and you get to kick him.  I wanted to give him a couple of dollars to take a picture of him with the sign, but for some reason, I just didn't have the heart.  However, I think it rates as the most ingenious idea that any homeless person has come up with.  Degrading? Yes. Creative? Most definitely.

3. I drove past a Papa John's today, and the sign said "Pap John" or "Pap Pizza" or something like that.  My friend asked, "Are they out of business or something?" "No," I replied.  "But they will be soon if they are selling "Pap Pizza."

4.  A man attacked a soda machine with a hatchet on Sunday.  Why?  He thought there was someone trapped inside--oh, and he was high on meth.  I know it shouldn't, well maybe it should, but it makes me laugh really hard.
