Fries=Future

The Prison is the same as always. A wasp invaded my Chem class, the lunch room is full of dangerous food droppings that could cause fatal slips. You know, the usual. But I passed by a poster the other day that I found fascinating. The first time I passed it, I didn't fully understand it. On the left side of the poster, there was a photo of a greasy vat of fries. Above it said, "Fries." Then, on the right, there was a photo of a graduation cap. Above it said, "Future." First I was a bit offended, because I thought they were trying to say that if you eat fries you won't be successful. As a fry-lover, I took it personally. But that didn't make sense. Then, later in the day, I passed it again, and realized it was a poster against dropping out of school. So by dropping out of school you're choosing fries instead of a future. Now, I'm all for staying in school. But not all fry-makers are drop-outs. And where would we be without fry-makers? I hate to imagine it! Would people rave about McDonald's fries? And what would I eat?! So, I don't think fry-makers get enough credit. We all love fries, but do we ever stop to think about how they got there?

In other news, I finally saw Nacho Libre, which almost made me cry, and before the movie began my mom told me about this woman working in a chocolate factory who discovered a blob of hardened chocolate in the shape of the Virgin Mary. A few things ran through my mind:

1. What if somebody had eaten it? Just walked by after missing lunch, grabbed it, and stuffed their face?
2. Chocolate is holy! I've been convinced for years and now I have proof!
3. The chocolate, to me, just looks like a blob. But a very yummy blob.

I just didn't see the resemblence. Sure, the shape kinda looked like it, but I did'nt see enough detail. Then I saw a photo from farther away and it looked more like it. You be the judge. Go here to read the story and see the picture. Or look up "chocolate virgin mary" on Google, and you'll get tons of results.
