Bread




















Several nights ago I went to work with my mom. My mom works at the local homeless shelter as the shelter manager. My dad is the shelter director. My mom does all sorts of things including cooking dinner for the residents. That particular night we baked some bread. We put the bread out for the residents to serve themselves. One guy (we will name him Ron) Ron came up to us and told us how this bread brought back memories to his childhood and how every night his mother baked bread and gave he and his three siblings the heels of the loaves as a bedtime treat. Ron went into great detail about how is mother made eight loaves of bread because his neighbors (who were also relatives) worked in the fields all day and his mother brought the bread for their lunch break.
It's really cool when you hit something unintentionally like that.

THE button

When the blackholes start forming and the universe begins to shred there’s only one thing left to do…

Push the button

Hooray for emergency buttons!

Before you read this I would like you to please remove your hats and please leave them at the door.

I’ve never enjoyed the physical act of writing, and this goes back to my early years, when we were made to write with the old-fashioned dip pens and real ink. (I know, this dates me!)
Being a right-handed writer, this meant that I always had an ink stain on my Right hand, as it blotted what I had just written, or my writing was illegible as I tried to avoid the first issue.
I also used to (and still do) dislike intensely any writing-based activities at school, such as essays. Maybe it was because the subject matter was given to us, or maybe it was because I hadn’t come to appreciate the feeling that writing can give you.
Anyway, I welcomed the advent of the personal computer, when I could write (or type) legibly, and much faster too. (My handwriting is sort of readable if I go slowly, but that doesn’t happen too often, no matter how good my intentions are.) Now I enjoy being able to write, people enjoying what I write and people being able to read it without struggling to make out what I wrote. I'M IN LOVE WITH MODERN TECHNOLOGY!! With the exception of my Ipod. IT DOESN'T EVEN HOLD ALL OF MY MUSIC!!!! AHHHH!! SOMEONE!! BUY ME A NEW ONE!! Preferably an Ipod Touch; They are freaking amazing. Anyway thanks for reading this.
