April Fools

When was the last time you got punk'd on 1st April and actually thought it was brilliant?

It's been a long long time for me, and I'm waiting for its return. I think the problem here is that 4/1 is too big of a date and people are way too conscious about it. Here's an idea, fivefold the number of occasions and randomize the dates so people get reeeaaal confused. Then organize some huge event and don't mention about the word 'Fools'. Think about it, what if that whole Earth Hour thing was just a scam to fool people. Wouldn't it be awesome? We all need jokes once in a while, good ones especially. 

I'm sure most of you have noticed, but well just in case you haven't... go take the subway, have a walk in any business district, go to a shopping mall or just drive around. All you can find is, well nothing ... on people's expressions, which is kind of intimidating. Instead of kids laughing, running around, you hear them crying, and instead of hearing greetings on the street all you can hear is music coming from the little white magic box, that holds 243987385 mp3s, in your pocket... and some occasional sirens that one simply can't ignore.

What's wrong, huh? City life, that is what's wrong. We hear about sickness and diseases every day from family and friends. When we flip open the newspaper we see news about global warming and some suicide bombing in Baghdad. And as we sit in our isolated cubic rooms, looking into the 14.1 inch laptop screen, we are completely falling into the trap of what we call the city life.

It's April Fools folks~ get out and enjoy your day. Go ahead have a good laugh with your buddies and family over some stupid jokes because a good childish prank may exactly be what we need every once in a while. 

ps. I'd love to set up this lock to 'entertain' my roommate, but I guess it's not particularly the brightest thing to do
