Helping Out

So, I'm helping out my friends right now. A group of them are producing and directing this student Cabaret but because of a few problems, they are facing major financial difficulties getting the show up and running. I have taken this problem to heart and have decided to help them out by fundraising!

I'm going to solicit alumni from Rhodes college (assuming that most of them have money to spare!) and try to get donations to help out the theatre department. Unfortunately, I don't know if this is something I can do on my own: I might need some cheap labor to help me out!

And I'm not talking about slaves mind you!!!

I'm talking about legitimate help! Not help from slaves or indentured servants or house maids, but from like minded philanthropist friends of mine. The hard part will be to coerce them help me out since they have absolutely nothing to benefit from this. And my prescription...FUNraising!!! making fundraising FUN! WOOT!!

We're going to have lots of fun soliciting alumni! We might even have food and maybe a game and who knows...finger paint? Maybe anything! Dream it, dreamers! That's what dreams are for. And we might have prizes for who can FUNraise the most! Maybe like gift certificates or new toasters or Magic Bullet sets or Ziploc baggies full of FUNraisable pocket lint!

Stress

So, I'll admit, I'm alittle stressed. I really didn't see this coming this semester, but here it is. I've got UPTA and my senior project back to back. My family's coming in town. I'm starting to fall behind in my school work. I have emails to send, research to do, and friends and loved ones to hang out with. And I'm completely obsessed with being lazy.

I'm trying to tackle it just a little at a time and to just keep working, but now it's late and I'm tired and just want to go to bed. But I keep telling myself that if I just work all night I can totally catch up. I mean, how valuable is sleep anyways. Here I'll quote a big inspiration of mine, who totally helped me through those tough times:

"Who needs sleep"
Barenaked Ladies



Who needs sleep
well you're never gonna get it
who needs sleep
tell me what's that for

Now, I haven't been awake since the second World War, but I'll agree with BNL. Sleep is obviously for pussies and I'm certainly not a pussy. I'M A MAN! A MAN THAT CAN SURVIVE WITHOUT SLEEP! AND WITHOUT STRESS! STRESS SUCKS AND I'M A MAN AND MEN DON'T SUCK SO I DON'T SUCK SO I DON'T HAVE STRESS SO I'M NOT A PUSSY.

Goodnight....
