Wal-Mart is awesome

Sooooooo what a crazy cool day it's been. Today in psychology I learned how to shut off your eyeball. Cover one eye, then push the other eye from the outside toward the nose and keep your eye focused on one point. It will slowly fade to black. I also got some quality math time in today...I hope it ends up being quality at least. We had iTeam and we got to do something cool there involving a service project for the Fall Retreat. Speaking of the retreat, have I got a story for you. The audio post I left gives it some perspective, but I'll try to give more detail. Basically I had to go buy 24 footballs for the game and I had to find them cheap. Well, I was in luck...Wal-Mart (where I went to at 1 in the morning) had exactly 24. The dude in sporting goods looked at me counting footballs in the aisle and asked if I needed help. I told him I was buying all of them. He looked at me funny and asked if I needed a cart. I said sure. He looked at me and mused, "It's your money." Man that was weird. Then I had to buy a bunch of cloth to cut bandanas from and the lady looked at me and my cart of 24 footballs with a strange glare. After that, Imig and I were waiting on the cloth and we were tossing the footballs around in the aisles. When we finally got the cloth cut up, the lady gave it to us and was talking with another customer and they were discussing about what we were buying, saying it looked like something for an initiation. I had to laugh. Next, I thought about buying a machetti for $6.42, but I decided against it because it might seem odd to have 24 footballs, 4 strips of cloth, and a machetti...I might get some strange looks. So we checked out and got the extra big bags. That was a nice touch. Finally, to top of the fantastic Wal-Mart trip, we saw a guy putting on those crappy Wal-Mart spinner hubcaps on his car right after he bought them right there in the parking lot. Ahhhhh, gotta love the strange people. Well, I'm off to bed...I think. Night
