Hey everybody,
I just thought that I'd share my recent experience at the movie theater when I went to see Return of the King. I was attempting to find something to do to occupy my time while waiting to go see the movie (I had almost two hours to kill). While talking on the phone with Jace, I happened to notice this grubby, skanky old lady walking around the parking lot distributing "business cards" to every car on the lot. She made the mistake of looking right at me while she was putting her cards onto a nearby car window. The look, in and of itself, was innocuous enough, but there was something almost defiant in her stare. It seemed almost as if she was daring me to "undo" her work. Once that thought entered into my mind I was helpless to resist the urge to go around the entire parking lot (which wraps around the north, west and south sides of the movie theater) and remove her painstakingly placed advertisement cards. I'd have to say I did it just to be a dick, which has always been a weakness. And one that provides me with countless hours of enjoyment and self-fulfillment. Hey, it's not as though she didn't get paid for her hard work anyway, right? But, alas, her hard work was in fact for nothing. And besides, the ads were for losing weight and working from home, which everybody knows are pyramid schemes anyway. So, in that light, I did my good Samaritan act for the day. I don't think I've had that much fun in a parking lot since I tossed a shopping cart into the bed of a pickup truck or put another shopping carton top of a 20 foot tall snow heap.
Talk to everyone later,
Jeremy
