....and i don't believe it will leave me soon
two stories today to fill your heart with warmth:
i am reminded of the joke i heard about the man who won a million dollars. he comes home, and says to his wife: "pack your bags, i just won a million dollars", she shrieks, "oh my god, where are we going?", he says "i don't care, just get the hell out". well, it seems that one man in canada is taking this joke to heart. he was married but it was shaky. he kept the win from his wife, they divorce, and a year later he tried to claim his money. even though she's destitude now. so, now consider how wonderful this man is: he sat on a ticket worth $30,000,000 for ONE YEAR so that he wouldn't have to give her any. imagine the self-restraint, the discipline, the greed, the vileness. if you cut him open, i bet he bleeds slime. doesn't it bring a tear to your eye? jokes on you stupid, if you bought the ticket while married, and it wasn't a gift, it's half hers.
the second is just an observation. i go into starbucks in the morning for my white choc mocha grande no whip (arg, i even talk like them now). and then i stand outside and have my smoke (its the two things that get me going at 7am- shut it). and there is a homeless guy there sometimes. nice guy. today, i gave him $2 and like 5 cigs. and while i'm standing there, he's saying merry christmas to everyone walking by. most people didn't even acknowledge him. but i think what's even worse is those that went in to buy their starbucks, paid $5 for COFFEE, and then didn't have $0.25 to give this guy. if you have $5 for coffee, you have a quarter for a guy who, at 7am, joyfully wishes you a warm Merry Christmas. "if you live with apes man, it's hard to be clean...the beautiful people"
