On the way back from lunch I was stopped by this dude who wanted to know if I had two minutes for 'the Environment'. On the way to lunch I blew him off as obnoxiously as possible, so this time I decided to donate the two requested minutes that he had asked for. He was a nice enough guy. I could see that he wasn't a student anymore, so he probably really did care about environmental issues, unlike those crazy liberal students who only care about what their radically left wing teachers tell them to. His speech was mildly rehearsed, but sincere. But then it got to the point of, "do you want to join this club"? I really have a problem with monthly/weekly/annual fees, so No, I didn't join. I also hate signing up for stuff and leaving my information behind so they can spam your mail box, or in box. But, I felt like I should cause he got through his whole speech and I didn't want to leave him totally fruitless. After all, I prevented him from stopping other possible crazy tree hugging liberals who had money to give to bums, hookers, or the environment. So I filled out one of his Propaganda Postcards, that they would send to congress to plead their cause. After I walked on, I realized that I had probably just signed my address up for the next year of junk mail and other crap. Thats probably how they raise money, selling the signatures, and email and house addresses of the people who they get to sign up for their cause. If I ever run for office and this comes back to haunt me, I'm going to be really pissed. I imagined all the way back to work, that they sign me up for military service, or to every other charity alive, or to something like that.
Yesterday I got my new Hard Drive in the mail. Its so big and cool. I think I've increased my downloading power by 500% with this purchase. Now I just need to get a new computer to go with its maximum amazing speed. Santa left that one out of my stocking, so I'll have to pick up his slack. I think he forgot about most of my list actually.
Last night Ms. Cheryl and I went to a movie. We saw this show called Sweeny Todd. It looked... interesting, and seemed interesting cause it was a Musical with Johnny Depp in it. My how his 'style' has changed since 21-Jumpstreet. There was much more blood than I thought there would be, and much more gore and disturbing imagery.
Lunch was sponsored by Jamba Juice and then Diddy Reese. The Evil Collins talked me into going there. Its not like their wears are that good, just cheap, and kind of sugary. Shame on him.
I'm listening to Jesus the Christ book right now. I finished The Magician's Nephew early this morning. It was mildly ok, a little different, but an acceptable end to the stories of Narnia for me. I now know it all, and I'm OK with it having been written. You know that C.S. was good buddies with J.R.R.? thats probably where he got all his great ideas.
