A New World...out of Arizona

To start, it has been brought to my attention that there were a number of gramatical errors in my last entry. I would go back and check but as Edna from the Incredibles, my mentor in life, once said "I never look back darling, it distracts from the now." (P.S. that totally should have been my senior quote...damn my Hairspray idea). Anways, I apologize for the gramatical errors but I can't promise there won't be anymore because its hard enough getting my fingers to keep up with my thoughts as they come to me.



To update the asthma situation, because nothing says sexy like an inhailer and blocked bronchial tubes, I went to the doctor on wednesday and had a lovely time. Dr. Stone, a charming young woman with someone masculine tendencies, took my side and blames Arizona...I'm a genius I know. I have to say my favorite part of Kevin's trip to Campus Health was witnessing the three receptionists talk about what they are supposed to do when 50 seems young. One quote that stuck out was "If 50 really over the hill? because if it is its been so long I can't even see the hill anymore. All of them wore those "I'm a fun nurse!" shirts that every one in a doctor's office seems to wear even when their job is in no way nursing related and just consists of sitting at a desk. My favorite was covered in Jesus-esque crosses with little fun lines or sunshine rays or something around them. It seemed to suggest that there was a higher power helping you get bettter...perhaps a nurse that does more than just check you in.



Asthma resolved I continued to work towards the end of the week when I would come home for Spring Break. Thursday night, instead of packing or cleaning my room I did the responsible thing and hung out at the most charming cock roach nest I've ever been in (thank you adam and luke).

When I finally got back to my room, I was met by my very drunk and very amusing roommate who was talking about how much he was talking, a former pet peeve now just silly. I began packing and thats when it hit me...the most brilliant plan since man thought to put 5 divas together and make the spice girls...



Ok, so, I have this tooth paste..



Its crest...orange flavor...I KNOW RIGHT!?!?!? Its quite possibly the most revolting flavoring since doctors decided that grape was a great mask for cough syrup. I detest this tooth paste but I feel bad throwing it away because Mongolian kids busy making my sweaters don't have any tooth paste and me tossing it would be wasteful and unfair. So i put my plan into action and placed the toothpaste in my carry-on blue bag.

I walked through securty and heard my plan working "BAG CHECK!"

The kind young man who I decided to name Karl, unzipped by bag a said "It's your toothpaste man."

"NO PROBLEM!!! Take it! Throw it away!"



Now, you maybe thinking, Kevin...why didn't you just throw the damn toothpaste away. But I didn't want bad karma wasting what Mongolian kids don't have. So now the orange flavored blood is on KARL's hands!!



I'll sleep soundly tonight
