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.

Not to mention the 15-year-old girl who, while driving without a license, rammed a station wagon into a convenience store at a Chevron gas station: http://www.ktvb.com/home/15-year-old-drives-into-Nampa-gas-station-99814654.html
ReplyDeleteThis week the treasure valley has been even more bizarre than normal. Hey people, take your meds!
ReplyDeleteAndrea, don't stress about the GRE. I know you'll do well, now that you know what it's like. I truly have faith in you.
It's heat related craziness.....or a coincidence......or the depression....or meth.
