La Tomatina

I just spent way too long trying to write a paper.  A paper that is barely more than a page.  But how much can you say about the world's largest food fight? That's right.  

There is a tradition in Spain in which tens of thousands of people crowd the streets for the opportunity to throw tomatoes at eachother for an hour.  I think maybe I should go.  Or start
 that same tradition here.  I mean, really!  Think of how much stress you could release if at the end of the semester you were allowed to go out
 in the street an pelt your friends with tomatoes!











This particular food fight starts days in advance with food competitions and dancing and 
fireworks and music and the morning of, people have to figure out how to get a ham off the top of a greased pole.  Yes.  I said it. 






In other news, date night was cancelled due to this bipolar weather making people sick.  So I will be finding other things to do tonight.  Not focusing on the fact that no doubt tomorrow's plans will be held, because all of the sudden the illness will be gone.  A night awa from me is just what the doctor ordered!

No, ok, not really.  I'm not a pessimist, usually, just lately.  But I'm trying not to have any violent outbursts, and so far, I've done a pretty good job!

Ok, I must shower and get ready for school!
