“Girls Suck“

For being one of our more heavily relied on senses, eyeballs are very easy to trick. Sometimes you can play tricks on them intentionally, and many times they’re fooled entirely on accident or by chance.

While driving by the local area high school over here in the massive metropolis of Elk River, Minnesota (pop. around 14,000 something) I caught a message on the high school’s announcement sign. The sign is one of those light-up signs where you can program them to say whatever you want.

Out of the corner of my eye I read, in brightly lit red letters “Girls Suck.”

I let out an amused “No way…” as I did a double take.

As I had suspected, I didn’t quite see what I thought I did. My eyes had, in fact, rearranged the letters of a couple words to make it say something that my subconscious probably (and correctly) thought I would get a giggle out of.

The sign really said;
Girls Swim
Good Luck
At State

So yeah, see if you can train your eyes to be as devious and mischievous as mine are.

In other news, I’m leaving for Illinois around 4:00 tomorrow morning. No offense to anyone from the land of Lincoln, but I’m not a big fan of the state itself and especially the Chicago area.

As bad as Illinois is, I have to drive through miles upon miles of the land of cheese and beer, more commonly known as Wisconsin, in order to get to Illinois. I like driving through Wisconsin in the dark much better because that way I can’t see the thousands of square miles of absolutely nothing. If Depression and Boredom had to pick a single place to live, I’m sure you’d find them nestled snugly somewhere in what Wisconsinites call “God’s Country.”

Then again, God may get along pretty well with depression and boredom. Although it might be a bad thing, cause the last time they got together the Catholic Church was born.

Anyhow, I’m off to spend a few days with my favorite people on earth. Four days of no work. Four days of not thinking, “God, I wish we weren’t so damn far apart.” Four days of laughs. Four days of falling asleep while trying to stay up until 3:00AM watching movies.

As of right now, I’ve got some sleeping pills dissolving in my gut so I can fall asleep and not get tired while I’m driving.

Hope you all have a good time while I’m gone. I’ll leave you with some pics of my friends and I when they were up here visiting last August.
