the great minnesota get-together

it's a sunday afternoon. there's nothing going on.
what to do, what to do.
my dad and TJ were going to the state fair, so i joined in.

what i saw:
1. thousands of minnesotans.
2. multitudes of deep fried ____ (this is where you fill in the blank with any unhealthy food you can think of: cheese, candy bars, twinkies, etc.).
3. a woman with a teddy bear tattoo on her neck.
4. a band of three or four middle-aged men doing a cover of "jesus is just alright" by dctalk.
5. piles of KKS
6. baby animals.
7. the finest huckleberry jam in the midwest (locked in a storecase, of course).
8. horse manure in the main avenue.

what i didn't see that i would've liked to:
1. barack obama.
- if he wants my vote, he's gonna have to work for it.
2. a tattoo parlor.
- to commemorate my glorious experience.
3. parents that weren't yelling at their kids?
- that might be too much to ask.
4. a building honoring camp counselors.
- the elite.
5. a shrine to bethel university.
- we're as close as you're gonna get to God if you go anywhere else...

all in all, i had a phenomenal time. wait, did i say phenomenal? i meant awful.

but i clearly don't decide what's cool because the only thing i have to do on a sunday night is write a blog about the state fair.
