Plus I saw this
Of course, it was more about raising money for cancer, but this car, well I consider that a lovely topping for the evening.
It was also very crowded, which did indeed bring a little smile to my face because that means that people actually cared enough about this cause to spend a Friday night walking a track.
At this walk, they lined paper bags all around the ground and lit candles inside of the bags after dark. Each of the bags represented a person who is fighting cancer or has passed away from cancer (and that's just in our town). The amount of bags all around the track was staggering.
It's barely even a scratch in the amount of money needed to fund research for better treatments and better prevention plans but it's something. Many people might say things such as, "Oh what does that do? Nothing! It's not going to cure cancer!" Well frankly that's about the equivalent of saying you shouldn't give a homeless man a sandwich because it wouldn't solve world hunger. If we helped even one person in anyway and just made their life a little easier, then it was worth a Friday night. (Not like I had anything else to do!)
Sticking with the serious mood of the night, Macho Man Randy Savage died today. Heart attack behind the wheel of his car. Thanks Randy, not only for giving us years of entertainment, but also for breaking out of the common pro wrestler mold by dying in a way that had no connection to drugs.
On a lighter note, on the way home from the walk, my dad and I saw an EMT sleeping in the back of the ambulance and for some reason we found it extremely amusing.
Here's a really bad picture of it where you can't even see the guy so you'll just have to imagine how funny it was.
P.S. - Since May 21st (aka Judgement Day) is tomorrow, I may not be able to post for several weeks due to the fact that I will be fighting off or further preparing for the impending Zombie apocalypse.
