Ok, so Michael convinced me to put just one more on here because the last one was kinda...depressing. This one is just bizzare. I will just get straight to the picture.
I have a few questions.
1. Who would give a taped up box of tampons to Goodwill? 2. Who is the Goodwill worker that thought they should be sold? 3. Who the hell bought them, because they weren't there when we went back the next day.
WTF. That is all that is going on in my mind. Its strange, yet funny. I cannot pick an emotion I feel to this one. I did start laughing the second I saw it. Now the question is, what do YOU think about it?
Michael and I have a tradition that after we go our for sushi, we stop at the Goodwill (or our local completely over priced, what they call "anitque" store) to see what we can find. I have quite a few pictures in my phone of the odd things I find there or odd people I see there, so I decided to put them on here for you to enjoy. I dub it "Thrift Store-ies".
This Store-ie occurred today in fact. We were just looking at power cords when a couple went by us, talking very loudly. Here is a pic I managed to snap of the lady in question: (Child's picture pixelized for its protection)
What I heard from this lady next surprised me. She pretty much yelled "If this baby I have in me is a boy, I'm getting rid of it.". The husband/boyfriend proceeded to ask "Wait. Why?!". She responded with "Cause I dont want no damn boy. I aint raising a boy". He said angrily "What the hell? I want a boy!". Her response is the kicker, one for the subject matter, and two for the fact she was saying it loud enough for the next few aisles to hear: "I dont give a fuck. If its a boy...its gone.".
This is the first time I ever was split on a subject. The first thing I thought was "Wow. Thats a ridiculous reason for an abortion!" I was almost full on anti-abortion for a second there. Then I thought "Wow, I'm glad that kid wont be raised by such a person.". Mind you, I'm not pro or anti abortion. I respect all opinions and reasons....except hers.
This first one was a little serious, but future ones will be much funnier. I just sometimes get amazed at the things people say around so many people. I hope you stick with me through these as I learn how to write the things in my head properly. I promise this will get better.
I will start this off with a back story. When I was about 6 years old, I started having reoccurring nightmares involving my local swimming pool, killer whales, and dark blood filled water. I had them for years and they occasionally come back. To this day, my top fears are killer whales and deep, dark water. Fast forward to a few months ago. Michael (my boyfriend) and I were watching a lot of Don Bluth, whom we both loved as an animator. I grew up with Don Bluth classics such as Rock a Doodle, We're Back: A Dinosaurs Story, American Tail, and Land before Time (the first and only good one). He asked if he remembered correctly if Don Bluth had made a film called "The Pebble and the Penguin". I answered with "I believe so. I actually remember that movie now....vaguely.". So we went and found a trailer for it. Here is what we found:
Pause on 1:39. Yep. My heart sank. Memories started flooding back. I sat there, mouth agape, eyes watering up. Michael asked what was wrong with me. I said "Remember those nightmares I use to have as a kid?" He looked at the monitor and realized it. We found the movie and searched for that part to make sure that it WAS this movie that caused so much distress in my life. I watched the whole thing...that was it. I thought to myself, "How is it my most beloved animator caused me such mental duress?".
I haven't watched the movie in full yet. I think I may get to it eventually. The only other time than watching to see if it was the nightmare inducing movie I saw all those years ago is to edit that part out and upload to my account so you can see what I was talking about. Without further ado: the main cause for my fears in life.
Does that water look blood filled to you? Haha. I know it doesnt seem like much to you, but imagine your six year old self watching that. Im not scared of it at all anymore, it just surprised me to see what caused nightmares for years when I was young. I still love Don Bluth, just not this one film. Haha. So, go and enjoy some of his other films, as long as it doesnt plant a seed of fear in your head.
This is the first entry into this blog. I have another one that I haven't written in for quite a while. I started it way back in high school and after reading, thought it was too...I dont know....stupid for others to read. In doing so, I decided to start a different blog that I hope will turn out more awesome than the last. I dont have a lot going on personally, so this will be mostly a blog about just things I just want to talk about. Usually odd and random things, so stick with me. Things should start to get good once I get a handle on the way this blog should go. So, here's to something odd happening in the next couple days!
