Pink Eye
My brother recently told me how he thought that the eye was the window to the soul. Well, I’m currently sitting here with a nasty case of Pink Eye. It is nasty and swollen red, and it hurts, and there are these gross yellow stinging boogers that are secreting from my eyeball. As I am forced to think and type, because my vision is too messed up to read or study, I can’t help but wonder what this says about my own soul. On the one hand, I can’t help but feel grateful that it hasn’t spread to the other eye, at least not yet, and hope that means that although gooberlicious on the outside there might be a diamond in the rough waiting somewhere in the inside. Or maybe I have duel personalities. But on the other hand, I can’t help but feel anger boiling up inside of me thinking that maybe someone thought it would be funny to bear butt fart on my pillow. If that is the case, I swear I’m going to FREAK!

Concert Quench
(I am going to send this out to everyone as an email. What do you think? Will this help get the word out?)
So often we feel that we should do something to help in the fight against poverty, but just as often we simply don’t know what to do to help. Well, I have something that will actually have a real effect in the fight against poverty and it will do so in a fun and entertaining way that will benefit all those involved. It’s a win-win situation! (Don’t worry; I’m not just hitting you up for money.)
Over the past year, I have become involved with a Not-For-Profit called Care for Cambodia (Check us out at: http://www.careforcambodia.org ). My sister-in-law met the parents of the founder of this organization last summer. And through those connections I was able to meet up with the founder and offer my support. Care for Cambodia digs sanitary well systems for villages throughout rural Cambodia to provide clean water to the people of those villages. Once built, the villagers have a stake in maintaining and operating the wells too. We have already built wells for some villages and have given a healthier lifestyle to hundreds, but there is still a ton of work to be done. And now that the first few wells are in the ground and our contacts are in place in Cambodia, all we need to do is to raise more funds to dig more and more wells. Every thousand dollars we raise is enough to put in a new well.
To that end, I would simply like to announce our latest fundraising event. On Wednesday, April 23rd, “Concert Quench” featuring Ben Folds will take place at the Great Saltair with all proceeds going directly to Care for Cambodia. Of course, we will have to pay for the band and venue, which we are attempting to take care of through corporate sponsors, but a complete sell out would do wonders, not only for the people of Cambodia, but also in offering up a wailing good time. I love to go to concerts, and I can honestly say that Saltair is one of my favorite venues. Ben Folds won’t stir up the best mosh pits, but I’m betting the crowd will be filled with hotties absentmindedly swooning to their rock ballads. And for you ladies, I’m sure their will be plenty of those zoobiesque, tight shirted, boy-band types with product in their hair for you to flirt with.
Everyone loves a party, so come out and rock out! And, if by chance you don’t like parties, or concerts, or simply can’t make it, do me a favor and help get some word-of-mouth advertising out there by telling a friend.

Feud
My light switch hates me. And I hate it. You could cut the tension of this mutual vendetta with a knife. I turn my light on and off several times a day, and my light switch thinks it’s funny to shock me with static electricity on about half of those occasions. He’s so smug! It’s gotten to the point where I try to sneak up on him like Elmer sneaking up on Mr. Waskely. After a few fakes of my finger, I try to go in for the flip with the light switch’s head turned, as quickly as pulling out the table cloth from a full setting. Sometimes it works. Other times it doesn’t. It probably seems humorous to picture me sneaking up on him in my underwear in the dark morning in an attempt to turn on the light pain free, but this has gotten personal, and personal feuds are anything but funny. I envy those of you who are able to groggily zombie walk your way to the bathroom. Just remember me as I dart and weave my way through this battlefield of bedroomdome. If light switches had faces, I’d slap that smirk right of his lips!
