so i realize that i haven't blogged in a really long time and the ones i have done have been sub-par. I realize this an i apologize. life gets in the way sometimes. ive been pulling like 22-23 hours a day working and writing papers. I even maxed out at 127 pages typed, double spaced, one inch margins in the period of 7 days. its a little nuts.
so the blog is officially coming back now. I have missed tons of events that i wish i could write about, like monkeys ripping faces off people for example. i have a lot to say on the subject, but I will just move on from that section of my life because that was like sooooo 3 weeks ago. anywho....
Here is a story from like 2 weeks ago that I wanted to blog before, but i am just now having the time to write about, i think it still is relevant.
So I am poor. Like reaaaally poor. I also don't have a meal plan like most college students because again... im poor. so i realized that i had very little food in my apartment that was not cup-0-noodles soup and breadcrumbs. I also had no money in my wallet which sucked, so i resorted to my coffee can full of change for food purchasing. I dumped the can into a plastic bag and put on a hoodie so that i could conceal the change as I walked into the grocery store, in the hopes of maintaining a little bit of dignity. That definitely did not happen.
I was walking through the store and I made a B line right to the coinstar machine so i could get the change in the machine, get my little receipt and go buy food. I am by no means embarrassed about being poor, but theres something a little degrading about having a 10 pound sack of pennies and nickles. the dimes and quarters were probably already spent as the big-ticket coins to buy other food at the convince store below my apartment, because yeah, i do that too. I made it to the machine and pulled the bag out and josh austin was standing next to me. He promptly laughed at my pathetic bag of change and said "wow lukach, thats fucking sad dude." We talked for a minute or two, mostly about how sad it was that i was buying groceries with change and he left.
thats when i made an observation that struck me as genius and pathetic. The coinstar is set up straight across from the junkfood/beer and frozen food aisles. It was lined up to fall exactly between those two locations. They KNOW that poor ass people like me probably cashed in their change so they can buy nasty hungry man dinners and PBR. now granted i did not buy either of those things. i did purchase like half of my basket-o-food from those two aisles. i didnt buy beer though. elios pizza was more important.
It just shocked the hell out of me that they set that up so well. they had me and poor people everywhere PEGGED. "cash in your change and buy your nasty poor people food! do not go into the fancy foods from around the world section! we have segregated that off on the other side of the store. Stay in the poor section, where you must live until you get paychecks higher than 250 bucks every two weeks!"
oh well. elios pizza is delicious! only i got home and my toaster oven was broken. i had to eat MICROWAVED elios pizza which is soggy and not so tasty.
crap.
