Things I've Found on the Ground

Family and friends, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! It has been a while since I've published a blog post, but after audience interest in the rekindling of the blog here I am at the 11th hour to ensure a numerical year doesn't go by without a post. I guess I've been gone because I've been busy or less inspired…I don't know. Anyways, for the past two years (and some months) I’ve taken pictures of things I find on the ground, some of  them are amusing, so I’ve decided to share some and write little stories for each. So, please enjoy a small collection of photos and commentary of things I’ve found on the ground. 


Making Love in a Hopeless Place

Where: Walmart Parking Lot
When: December
What: An Open Condom Wrapper
Can anyone imagine a more romantic place to cement your love than a Walmart parking lot. I surely can't. Forget fireworks you have the rustle of your grocery bags in the back seat. Meanwhile the cold midnight air wafts in through your cracked windows as you and your spouse become enveloped in the heat of the moment. 
Anyways, I found this gem while walking out of Walmart with my dad. Then, he proceeded to make lots of jokes. That wasn't really fun, although some of his jokes were funny, but I couldn't tell him that. 




Ya Gotta Zig or Ya Gotta Zag 
Where: Junkyard
When: January
What: A 'No Parking' Sign
Earlier this year my dad and I were at the junkyard in order to find a tail light for my car. I saw this sign on the ground, adjacent to a vehicle, and found it to be so funny as we can clearly figure out how this car came to be at the junkyard.



In the Wild 
Where: Whole Foods Parking Lot in Denver
When: February
What: An open container of organic hummus 
What a more perfect place to find a container of hummus than the snowy parking lot of the Whole Foods in Cherry Creek North. One could even say this is the hummus' natural habitat. Maybe it got there as two friends unexpectedly saw one another in the parking lot and decided to catch up over a container of hummus. Or maybe someone needed a snack as they moved heavy groceries into their Range Rover. Either way the hummus was left in a perfect spot.






A Hot Potato of a Potato
Where: King Soopers Parking Lot
When: 
Where: A Peeled Potato
This picture speaks for itself. People peel potatoes for a variety of reasons such as boiling, French frying, mashing, and more. But, few people peel potatoes or bring peeled potatoes to a parking lot as you cannot even boil or fry them there. At this King Soopers there is a gaggle of people experiencing homelessness, so maybe one of them peeled the potato, but I’ve never seen a person experiencing eating a raw potato. I don’t know, makes me wonder. 


Need a Bucket and a Mop
Where: Front Yard of College Boys' House
When: September
What: A caution sign for all the "Wet A$$ Pussy"
The boys who lived in this house consistently had a variety of alcohol and "lawn furniture" strewn about their front yard and this sunny day in September was no exception as I noticed a bright, new garden decoration! Last September I walked by this house near daily and had never even seen a girl step foot on the property, so it baffles me as to why these boys would display a sign to warn others of potential lewd encounters when there aren’t any to be had in the first place. Maybe the sign is a cautionary tale of the fall that can occur if you slip prior to marriage. 





Well, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I hope you enjoyed, or at least found slightly amusing, this blog post. I will try to post more frequently this coming year, but that should be easy because I’ll have only have to post twice. Anyways, my prayers are for you all and God Bless!

20 Activities for 20 year Olds

By
Good Morning Family and Friends! Recently I have been incredibly bored, hopefully my online classes will entertain me more. I have previously stated that I wasn’t practicing social distancing or whatever, however my mom has been making me stay inside more often and now Colorado is on lockdown. I looked up activities for 20 year olds and didn’t find anything, I guess people make these lists for stay at home moms with young children. So, I decided to make my own list for you, the audience, if you’re bored (which if you’re reading this you probably are) and looking for something to do. Read Woah, how original...read. I don’t read for pleasure often. In the summer I read The Great Gatsby  and I usually read one of Father Greg Boyle’s books some other time in the year. I also read my Vogue magazines. Two books and a magazine isn’t that much. However, since there is more time to do stuff, I figured I could read more. My brother gave me The Princess Bride to read, I’ve read a lit...

Major Life Advice

By
Recently during class I was giving an acquaintance/friend advice after being asked "How am I so happy?" and another acquaintance/friend wanted me to begin as she thought this was very important. Today I want to share part of a book (google doc) that I've been writing throughout the years that is full of advice I have received and found. Today is the Best Day of My Life This may sound crazy, but it's true, everyday is the best day of your life because you never know when life will end. I learned this from my dad who even thought it was crazy when he heard it from his friend. This advice has helped me look at the positive in every day things. For example in high school I didn't enjoy waking up around 4 am for swim practice, but when I dad told me this advice, I started thinking about it began enjoying early mornings. How lucky was I to do what I love, be awake before anyone else, talk to my friends, and laugh endlessly before the sun rose? So lucky and as ...

What I've Learned in College: End of Freshman Year Fun part 2

By
Continued from Part 1 8.Cowboys are Real Cowboys are typically seen as people who used to live in the Wild West years and years ago. I honestly think that my grandfather was one of the last American cowboys. While, I wills till continue to this this, I have learned that cowboys are still real! Every once in a while, I will see an old man sporting leather cowboy boots, a blue pair of Wrangler jeans, a button down shirt, a weathered, leather belt, a leather vest, a cowboy hat, a grown out beard, and skin weathered and tan like the leather. I didn’t think people still dressed like this besides for show! This is someone’s real life outfit! I am always astonished to see people like this because I don’t see them regularly. They look like their straight off a horse in ye old west! Students even wear cowboy boots daily! It’s something else. 9. People still pressure you. I don't drink for multiple reasons, and I was under the impression that people don't pressure people i...
