10 Ways to liven up your Spring!
1. Wait Until Summer. Your Spring will be so much more warm and breezy if you just wait long enough!
2. Run for President. Everyone else is: Why not you?
3. Get Fired. Spending your time at Beans Cafe and Brother Francis’ Homeless Shelter is sure to be a break in the monotony and boredom of your job, if you have one. If you already stay at the homeless shelter, the local jail can sometimes have better food and accommodations. Besides, if you stay there long-term, you get medical and dental care, besides room, board, and occasionally education.
4. Help Global warming. If you start bonfires around your house to melt the snow, not only are you speeding up the end of spring with your release of potential energy, but you are also helping to warm up our planet a little. Just think of those poor, starving, freezing, children in Antarctica.
5. Make an Enemy. They always encourage you to make friends, but we need to have balanced lives. Don’t worry, it’s not too hard.
6. Win the Lottery. (You’ll have people asking for money all the time: but it might take a while to accomplish this one.)
7. Light Your Hair on Fire. No explanation needed for how this livens things up in your life.
8. Go Christmas Shopping. Better Early than Late.
9. Go Dumpster Diving. You find all kinds of things and people.
10. Go to the FBF Youth Group (Really) Again.Coolest thing. Ever.
