Contemplate This

My pennies used to smell good, but now they don't anymore.
I need to explain something. Every now and then I send my high school friends letters in the mail. They are full of junk that does not make sense. I send them Bible verses and tell them I pray for them and all that good stuff, but the point of me sending them letters is to make them smile and laugh. College is hard. College students need to smile and laugh. This section of the site is what I put in their letters. The junk, not the good stuff. I'm thinking about taking this part of the site off because if the whole world sees the letters I send them, it seems like it is not as special for them to receive them. I don't know. They aren't meant to make sense. If they make sense to you, well...I don't know what to do about that. Seek help immediately.

How to cook an inflatable hammer:

You really shouldn't do that.

Among the bush of roses
An inflatable hammer grows
Though not as tall
And still quite small
It is lovelier than all the flowers
In a brilliant shade of neon green
You can spot it from 2 feet away
People stare
and people smile
Because it is so radiant
My heart would never recover
If the thorns deflated it
Goodbye roses
Goodbye thorns
Goodnight Inflatable Hammer

You’ve probably heard by now, but my sister is getting married. And I thought about that for a little while, and I decided I hope I never marry Matt Thiessen, the lead singer for Relient K. I’d have too many angry fourteen year olds trying to kill me. But I decided to hire a bodyguard anyway, just in case. His name is Ralph. Sometimes he scares me though. Like when I’m at the grocery store and I’m trying to buy cereal, and he won’t let anyone else walk down the aisle while I’m on it, and he starts yelling at them a lot. I know he’s just trying to protect me, but I don’t think that little boy was going to hurt me. He only had one arm. I wonder if Ralph bit the other one off. Its possible, because Ralph is a carnivore. Maybe I should get a different bodyguard. Maybe I should hire Ronald Mcdonald to be my bodyguard. No I don’t think so, because I think I could take him, so there really wouldn’t be any point in him protecting me. I never really liked Ronald anyway because I think red and yellow are really ugly colors to wear at the same time. Red is nice, and yellow is nice, but not together. And that’s all he ever wears. Someone should tell him that looks really bad, and it hurts my eyes. Kind of like staring at a computer screen for long periods of time, that hurts my eyes too. I think now is a good time to point out that I’m wearing clean socks.

One time, I was taking a walk around the Parthenon. And I saw this guy sitting on a bench, feeding some turtles. And I asked him…..hey, what time is it. And he said….in Russia its 3pm. And I said hey that’s great, and then I took his turtle food and ran away. I think after that he started eating the turtles. It’s not like they were going to live long anyway, since no one was feeding them anymore. Ever since then I’ve never really been able to eat chicken. Chicken reminds me a lot of this time when I was at Burger King. The guy behind the counter was wearing a nametag, and it said “chicken” on it. He was really nice, so ever since then I don’t like eating chicken. I kind of feel like I’m eating a nice guy. There are other days, when all I really love to do is ride a bike. When I’m riding my bike, I feel really powerful. Because I move a lot faster on a bike than I do on a horse. I also like to start sentences with the word “because.” Because english teachers don’t like that, and I don’t like english teachers. I also get kind of annoyed with “artistic” people, because I don’t really understand why they like to sit around contemplating weird things like….the meaning of string. I say that a lot, but I really mean it.


I guess that's what happens when you store them in sunny delight bottles..
