Handstands & the President
Thursday started out normal. I knew the President was coming, but not about the 900 people who were going to stand on their heads on the circle. Yeah, 900 people only it wasn't 900, it was 1072 people. They are hoping to set a world record and get into the Guinness Book of World Records. They weren't just from Indianapolis, they were from all over the country.
When someone said I wouldn't be able to drive around downtown yesterday, I couldn't figure out why. I was like that is so weird that the President is coming and by some strange coincidence they are closing the streets. Then I realized, duh, they are closing these streets because of the President. Why did he come here of all places? Well I should think it would be obvious, he was a speaker at the Black Expo luncheon yesterday. Because he would be the first person I would think of to speak at such an event. NOT!

That is hilarious, that last line... But seriously, I just found out I might be moving there next year for my Masters. Seems Indiana, New York, and Cali are the only places that offer the specific program I want. Sorry, I'm just excited about getting the hell out of here. :) Unlike other people I know that are super proud of Texas like it's a f-ing country of its own, I think it sucks! The pres used to be here all the damn time, imagine that.....I don't have anything too much against our pres but DAMN!....That is all I will say...

It is good that President Bush spoke at the Indiana Black Expo. It was a good speech. He is the first President to do so.

Don"t get me wrong, I wasn't knocking the pres, just commenting on the fact that he was a Republican speaking at Black Expo. Just seemed unlikely. A great thing for our city though. Plus I'd say it might help his image by making him appeal to a wider audience.
That would be cool if you did move here. You seem like you could use a change. I don't know if you'd like it though. Not very many party spots but I'm not the one to ask. Personally I wouldn't move to Texas, I just like to visit. Where in those places would you be looking, University-wise?

The pres was here? Jeez, so that's who I accidently bumped into and pick-pocketed Thursday night. Wow, what an honor!

Secret service? Oh, so that's who kicked me in the groin, tazered me, threw me to the ground, and picked my pocket. Wow, what an honor!

Purdue University, wherever that's at...As far as secret service men go, a lot of people in Texas are stupid-asses, when those earpiece things for cell phones first came out my friend Eric would wear his around and one time he happened to have on a suit for work and everybody at the HEB thought he was a secret service guy and they were all whispering and freaking out. Those people were freakin stupid! Course people here will believe almost anything. Me and Eric used to sit in my car drinking beer and people would walk by and we'd tell them we were on a stakeout, and they'd actually believe us. Freakin Idiots!

I know some people that went to Purdue. The actual campus is in West Lafayette but they have locations all over the state, it just depends on what course you need.
That's so silly about the ear-piece thing, don't they know those guys travel in packs. Some people will believe anything.

Yeah, like there being gold at the end of the rainbow, all I got for my troubles were a handful of drunk, pissed-off wee Irish folk who beat me up and picked my pocket. That wasn't such an honor.
