Soup kitchen moi la unit SVP. extra soup pour toi cause j'u fou comme une bol
So this morning I got up at 8 and headed down town to the "Karing Kitchen" which is a soup kitchen for the poor/homeless to volunteer. I had been thinking about it for a while and yesterday I spoke to a friend about it and called the soup kitchen and she told me to come on by. So anyway I ended up having fun, I don't think the old ladies that volunteer there get to see young men very often... eeewww... but they were very nice and funny. I decided to volunteer for a few reasons 1 ; the obvious; because they need help, and trust me they do need the help, if I wouldn't of been there they would still be there now doing dishes. 2- I felt that I could bring everyones day up with my charm, I don't mean to be conceeded but when people get stressed because it's busy I seem to know what to say or do to put people at ease. 3- because I sometimes need to put myself in a situation where I don't know anybody, just to get me out of that "confort zone" I think I talked about this before but it's something that I feel is important. And to see all the people sincerly appreciate what you're doing is a great feeling. I was very sad when I saw a bunch of people that I knew, I wasn't ashamed or anything but I was sort of.... I don't know how to explain it.. just sad I guess... Anway, the food there is extremely good, Patti;the chef; is a good cook. I'm very proud of all the local restaurants, grocery stores and other stores, they are very generous and should have more recognition for what they do, everything there is donated and there is a lot of food. Today, for example, the potatoes where donated by "New york fries" and the bred, cookies, pie where all donated by superstore. When I was there they god a delivery of about 800 sticks of pepperoni. I have no idea what the hell they're going to cook with it but i don't want to see another stick of pepperoni for a long time. So I've decided that I'm going to go every Tuesday or Wednesday, apparently that's when they need the most help. If anyone wants to come with me let me know. It's a great thing to do for yourself and for everybody who needs it. I was real nervous showing up there alone though but the old ladies where very nice...
So now it's about 1:30 and I'm going to do nothing today until I go to work, I'm beat and feel I should have some chill time, I might even play some Xbox....
Ok folks, have a nice day...
