Bum-tastic


The one thing that I will always adore is the bum trying hard not to try hard. Boy oh boy I wish I was as enthusiastic about not doing anything as bums are. They really have it down. Imagine the average thing that you put off or procrastinate around. Perhaps it is signing some paperwork, doing your homework, or feeding the dog. These guys literally took it to the next level by putting off having to have things to put off. Spectacular.

I'm extremely jealous of how lite bums keep it. Maybe one week this month I will keep it as lite as a bum. I won't shower, shave, or work on anything harder than sitting down. The hardest thing I might have to do is shake a cup with change in it, hoping for more change to be dropped in by passerby, and that'll be PUSHING it.

I'm not going to be the kind of bum that collects cans, or has a sideshow act like playing the trumpet or drums. I'm going to be the kind of bum that is so haggard and lazy that he just lays across the sidewalk, sleeping directly in the path of hard working individuals on their way to work hard somewhere. Maybe my extreme bum-ness will influence other people to also become bums as I have, but I'm not going to try hard at that. Holy bum this is going to be awesome.

You don't shave or shower now. And I slept on a pile of your dirty laundry last night. I'm pretty sure that makes you a bum...change cup optional.
